Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of skin losing pigment, resulting in white patches with sharp borders. The cause is unknown but is believed to involve genetic susceptibility triggering an autoimmune response that destroys skin pigment cells. Risk factors include family history of autoimmune diseases. Treatment options aim to repigment the skin through topical steroids, phototherapy, or cellular grafting for segmental vitiligo. While there is no cure, combining treatments may provide improved management of symptoms and quality of life for patients.
This document discusses vitiligo, a skin condition characterized by white patches appearing on the skin. It causes are melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation, to stop functioning or die.

Vitiligo is a long-lasting skin disorder where white patches appear on the skin due to the loss of pigment-producing cells. The exact cause is unknown but genetic and autoimmune factors may play a role. Vitiligo lesions typically appear on sun-exposed areas and around body orifices. Treatment options include phototherapy, photochemotherapy using psoralens and UVA light, topical steroids for small lesions, and surgical techniques for resistant areas. Preventive measures involve a health diet rich in antioxidants, minerals and avoiding skin trauma.
Vitiligo, a commonde pigmenting skin condition, has an estimated prevalence of 0.5–2 of the population worldwide. The disease is marked by the selective loss of melanocytes which results in typical nonscaly, chalky white macules. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the aetiology of vitiligo which is now clearly characterised as an autoimmune disease. Vitiligo is typically overlooked as a cosmetic disease, although its effects can be mentally devastating, often with a major bur den on everyday living. In 2011, a worldwide consensus classified segmental vitiligo separately from all other forms of vitiligo, and the term vitiligo was defined to designate all kinds of nonsegmental vitiligo.

[1] Vitiligo is a condition characterized by loss of skin pigmentation caused by the absence of melanin. It has various causes like disturbances in melanin production or transfer. [2] Homoeopathically, vitiligo is considered a systemic condition with skin manifestations, caused by inherited or acquired miasms exacerbated by environmental triggers. [3] Treatment requires identifying the underlying miasmatic state and selecting an antimiasmatic remedy, while also addressing precipitating factors. A long treatment course may be needed for complete repigmentation.
A skin disease that affects a person strikes the immune system of the affected person, leading to a change in the color of certain parts of the skin, either dark or light.
This document discusses the case of a 23-year-old male patient with white patches on his fingers and elbows. After taking the patient's history and conducting a physical exam, vitiligo was diagnosed. Vitiligo is defined as a disorder where white patches appear on the skin when melanin production stops. It has no known cause but may be related to genetic and immune factors. Vitiligo can be non-segmental, affecting large areas symmetrically, or segmental, appearing in one region. Treatments aim to reduce color contrast and include sunscreens, cosmetics, phototherapy, and depigmentation medications.

Vitiligo is a common autoimmune disease that causes loss of skin pigmentation. It has a significant psychological impact on patients' quality of life. There are different clinical presentations of vitiligo that provide clues about disease activity and prognosis. Segmental vitiligo presents as rapidly progressive patches but often stabilizes, whereas inflammatory, trichrome, and confetti-like lesions indicate more active disease. Recognizing vitiligo as treatable and initiating early treatment can help patients physically and psychologically.
The document discusses the general diagnosis of skin diseases. It emphasizes the importance of a thorough history, physical examination of the entire body under good lighting, and use of diagnostic tools like microscopy and biopsy. The physical examination involves assessing various characteristics of lesions including distribution, evolution, color, texture and involvement of other areas like hair and nails. Further laboratory investigations and imaging may be needed to confirm diagnoses.

"I dentifying common disorders of the integumentary system and describing the common diagnostics
used to determine the type and cause of integumentary disorders was a learning objecting
discussed in this week's reading. Since there are so many types of skin diseases, it can be a
complex process to accurately diagnose. Some skin disorders have hallmark signs that lead to an
easy diagnosis. However, many present the same or similarly and can make diagnosis difficult.
Culture and sensitivity are useful in determining the presence of bacterial infections. Blood tests can
help indicate whether there is a systemic infection or metabolic disorder. Cultures and microscopic
smear examinations can identify and diagnosis fungal and parasitic infections. Common disorders of
the integumentary system can be classified as infections, metabolic, hypersensitivity, idiopathic
disorders, and tumors. Skin infections are common and usually contagious. Viruses, bacteria, fungi,
and parasites can all cause infections of the skin. As a future healthcare provider, it is important to
recognize the signs and symptoms of these diseases. Early detection and treatment can help to
prevent the spread of one are of the body to another and from one person to another. Hyperactive
sebaceous glands also play a role in several skin diseases. Inflammation and infection can impact
these diseases, but the primary cause is metabolic. Hypersensitivity diseases are caused by an
immune reaction within the body. The cause is frequently unknown and treatment is based on
symptoms. Eczema is an example of a hypersensitivity or immune disease. I used to struggle with
eczema as a child, but flare-ups occur less often as I have gotten older and started identifying and
avoiding the factors that would exacerbate my symptoms. Idiopathic diseases of the skin have
unknown causes and tend to be chronic, with periods of remission and exacerbation of the disease
process. Benign tumors are common and tend to be familial while premalignant and malignant
tumors are normally associated with overexposure to the sun. Being knowledgeable on disorders of
the integumentary system is crucial when working in the healthcare field because the skin is the
largest organ of the body and is the first line of defense against disease. It is important to be able to
educate patients on how to properly protect their skin and prevent disease."

The document provides an overview of assessing and diagnosing disorders of the integumentary system. It discusses:
1) Assessing the skin through inspection and palpation to examine general appearance, lesions, texture, thickness, moisture, temperature, and turgor.
2) Common diagnostic tests for skin disorders including patch testing, biopsy, swabs, and examination using a Wood light.
3) The stages of wound healing - coagulation, inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation phases.
Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the pilosebaceous units. It has a prevalence of 9.4% worldwide and most commonly affects adolescents. The pathophysiology involves increased sebum production, abnormal keratinization, Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, and inflammation. Clinical features include comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and scarring. Treatment involves a combination of topical retinoids and antibiotics. For severe acne, oral isotretinoin may be used. While acne typically improves by age 25, some experience persistence into adulthood.

- Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by loss of pigment-producing cells that results in white patches on the skin. It affects around 0.5-1% of the population worldwide.
- The precise causes are unknown but are believed to involve genetic and environmental factors that may trigger an autoimmune response targeting melanocytes.
- Vitiligo can be classified based on the distribution of lesions as segmental, non-segmental, generalized, or other subtypes.
- Treatment options include phototherapy, topical
- Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It affects the skin and peripheral nerves.
- There are different types of leprosy including tuberculoid, lepromatous, borderline, and indeterminate. Symptoms vary depending on type but may include skin lesions and nerve damage.
- Leprosy is treated with multidrug therapy which includes dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine. Treatment duration depends on whether a patient has paucibacillary or multibacillary leprosy. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for side effects, educating patients, and preventing
This document discusses vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of skin pigmentation and the appearance of white patches on the skin. It provides details on what causes vitiligo, the different types, symptoms, who is affected, inheritance, homeopathic treatment using constitutional remedies like samarium, and supporting pranayama practices. Vitiligo is a fairly common condition impacting quality of life, but homeopathy treats it at the constitutional level to restore normal pigmentation over time.
1. Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of skin losing pigmentation, appearing white with sharp margins. It is caused by an autoimmune destruction of skin pigment cells and has no cure.
2. There are two main types - non-segmental vitiligo which can develop at any age and affect areas symmetrically, and segmental vitiligo which has a different appearance, cause, and treatment approach.
3. Treatment options include ultraviolet light in combination with creams or steroid applications, but lesions on hands/feet are most difficult to repigment and those on the face are easiest. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prevention.
1) Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by loss of skin pigmentation and the appearance of white patches on the skin.
2) It affects different parts of the body and can start progressing at any age. While it does not cause physical harm, it can cause psychological issues like low self-esteem.
3) Treatments include topical corticosteroids, immune-modulators like tacrolimus, phototherapy using UV light, and cosmetic cover-ups. Many patients prefer traditional ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments as well.
Vitiligo is a skin disease that causes white patches on areas of the body where melanocytes are destroyed. The exact cause is unknown but may involve melanocytes self-destructing or being triggered by events like sunburn or stress. It affects people of all races and can be hereditary. Symptoms include white patches on the armpits, groin, around the mouth, eyes, and navel. Treatments include medications taken orally or topically but not all are suitable and some have side effects, and results may not appear for a long time.
Pyoderma and bacterial skin infections can take several forms including impetigo, cellulitis, folliculitis, boils, and carbuncles. Impetigo is a superficial infection caused by Streptococcus or Staphylococcus that presents as crusty lesions that are contagious. Cellulitis is a deep bacterial skin infection commonly caused by Streptococcus or Staphylococcus that presents as swollen, warm, painful skin with red streaks and fever. Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome causes skin reddening and blistering that gives the skin a burned appearance and is usually not life-threatening in children.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

3. The skin diseases prevalent in the world, speci
fi
cally known as the demise of the natural color of
the skin in the form of clear white spots in the skin, and may be as extensive as it may be in one
place
spots that make up vitiligo are caused by the loss of colored cells that produce melanin
which are found mainly naturally in the skin, hair follicles, mouth (i.e. lips), eyes (eye. color) and ,
.some of the central nerve parts
The quantity and quality of melanin cells are the de
fi
ning element of skin, hair and eye color that
Vitiligo is a chromosomal abnormality caused by the collapse of melanocytes, which produce
pigment in the skin, mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside the mouth, nose, and sexual
and exit areas), and the retina (the inner layer of the eyeball). As a result of the destruction of these
cells, white patches appear on di
ff
erent parts of the skin on the body. Even hair that grows in the
a
ff
ected areas usually whitens

Introduction
٣
4. The main cause of vitiligo
is unknown, but doctors believe it is an autoimmune disease that a
ff
ects the body's immune system,
destroying certain cells, and one of the causes of vitiligo can be other medical conditions such as
.Hashimoto's disease, an immune disorder that a
ff
ects the thyroid gland
?Are the types of vitiligo
There are several types of vitiligo, and each type depends on the area where the white spots appear, and
:how widespread they are. Vitiligo types may include one of the following
Generalized Vitiligo: It is the most common type, and occurs when white spots appear, almost all over the
.body
Segmental Vitiligo: Which Occurs When Vitiligo Is Conv
fi
ned To One Area Of The Body, Such As The Face Or
.Hand
.Focal Vitiligo: It is a mild vitiligo, as it occurs when white appears as one spot, and does not spread
Trichrome Vitiligo: It occurs when there is a densely colored area, followed by a lighter area, followed by
.plain-colored skin

and Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim

5. Pathogens
Justice
The true cause of vitigo is not yet known, but the combination of important elements such as immune,
.genetic and neurological elements may cause most cases strongly
Most patients reported the onset of vitiligo after a severe solar burn, and others linked the onset of their
observation of the disease to a psychological or emotional problem they experienced, such as after the
.death of a loved one, a divorce, a tragic accident of a car or other human tragedy
It is currently commonly believed that vitiligo patients have colored cells that have a natural genetic
predisposition to vanishing and disappear, and that this fading occurs with a purely neuroimm immune
.mechanism
The cause of vitiligo is unknown, but doctors and researchers have several di
ff
erent theories. One theory is
that infected individuals have developed antibodies that break down tamperm cells in their bodies. Another
theory says Qatmin cells self-destruct. Finally, some medical reports have stated that conditions such as
.sunburn or emotional crises cause vitiligo; however, these reports have not been scienti
fi
cally proven true

and Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
٥
6. Symptoms of vitiligo
Individuals who develop vitiligo will usually notice white patches (depigmentation) on the skin. These
patches are more common in parts of the body exposed to the sun, such as hands, feet, arms, face, lips.
.Other areas where vitiligo appears are the underarms and around the mouth, eyes, navel, and genitals
In addition to white skin patches, a
ff
ected individuals may experience symptoms of premature graying of
scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard. Black individuals may notice a loss of color inside their mouths
Under the supervision of Dr. Fatima Sobhani, Professor of Immunology, Azad University (Sciences
and Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
The onset of vitiligo
can also be slow, as it can spread over years, and may spread very quickly in other people, and it should be
.noted that the prevalence of white spots may be related to people's physical and emotional stress
٦
7. :Vitiligo varies to include the following types
.Terminal: Places of injury: Lips - limbs - genitals
.Di
ff
use: Includes most of the body - removing the primary color from the entire body in some cases
.Cut-o
ff
: One side of the body follows the proliferation of super
fi
cial nerves, and is very limited
.Macular degeneration: limited - only in several areas of the body
.Fixed: It is the state that you settled on for more than a year
Köppner's condition disease: Vitiligo spots appear in the places of various wounds and injuries and this
.indicates the active condition of the disease
.Haema: A white aura surrounding a colored mole – it may be a sign of the onset of the disease

Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
٧
8. Treatment
Treatment of vitiligo depends on the type a
ff
ected by the patient. Macular vitiligo, for example, is considered the easiest
:type to treat and the peripheral type is the most di
ffi
cult, and there are two methods of treatment
Color retrieval
Color removal
First, color retrieval therapy
.The color is restored in two ways: either with medication or by surgery
:Medication for vitigo is relatively low prevalence
Topical treatment: Steroid creams (cortisone) that must be taken under medical supervision to choose the right type of
.them and reduce their side e
ff
ects as much as possible
An example of topical drugs is also the prescribing of sooralene compounds with exposure to the sun or ultraviolet A
rays, and the drug can be given in the form of a solution that is applied fat to the a
ff
ected area and then exposed to the
.sun or A rays either this or that
These drugs make the skin sensitive to ultraviolet radiation in general, and burns may occur and bubbles may form if
.sun exposure or ultraviolet radiation is too much
٨
9. .Other topical therapies: pseudoctalis and is still under research
As well as vitamin D paint as an adjunct to the success of radiation therapy (sun or ultraviolet)
There is some research conducted in 2008 that led to the discovery of a new drug for vitiligo in Cuba
extracted from the human placenta, which is a drug discovered before, but now it has been developed in the
form of a lotion called (Melagenina Plus). The patient dispenses with infrared sessions, etc. The study stated
that it gives a better result to people
.Age
.Race
Area of the a
ff
ected area
.The chronological age of the patient's infection with this disease
.Depending on the location of the a
ff
ected places in the body
The correct application of Al-Ula

Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
٩
10. Treatment with devices (PUVA)
Soralen is taken in the form of oral pills and after two hours the patient should be exposed to A rays with
.PUVA device and it is necessary to continue exposure to these rays 2-3 times a week
The drug soralin induces colored cells to move to the places of infection and then produce melanin
.again. The response of patients to this treatment varies, but about 75% of patients respond to it well
After 2-3 weeks of starting treatment, the condition appears to the patient worse than it was due to
natural tanning of the skin and the increase in color contrast between it and the areas a
ff
ected by vitiligo,
but with time, the gradual return of color to the skin begins and the appearance of improvement begins
.over the days
The patient should apply a solar insulator of 15 or more after treatment, and it is reused after swimming
and sweating as well, and special sunglasses should be applied to protect the eye during the exposure
.period and the rest of the treatment day
It may be used with PUVA antioxidant therapy as some studies have proven to have a role in
.repigmentation in some cases
A study published in the journal Dermatologic Clinics showed the e
ff
ectiveness of phototherapy for
vitiguity, its lack of mixing and side e
ff
ects

Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
١٠
11. Narrow beam UV therapy
It is a modern treatment and is exposed to narrow ultraviolet B rays and leads to the condition of the
.disease to be
fi
ne-tuned and improved
It is by exposing the patient to B rays for a number of seconds at the beginning of the treatment session and
.then gradually increases as determined by the doctor in charge of the case
Pills are not required as in the case of A-ray therapy and sunglasses are required only during the treatment
.session
Treatment is on sessions (three sessions per week) and improvement is observed after 15-20 sessions on
.average
.However, the treatment period may extend to several months depending on the level of condition
Under the supervision of Dr. Fatima Sobhani, Professor of Immunology, Azad University (Sciences and
Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
١١
12. Laser therapy
.There is a laser excimer recently and it treats limited areas but faster
Surgery treatment
They are relatively recent and take place in cases that do not respond to drug treatments and in limited vitiligo and
their results are limited and relapse is possible. Surgery treatment is followed in cases of persistent vitiligo and
:there are several methods
.Tattoos for some limited cases that do not respond well to other treatments
Transplantation of hair immunizations in order to contain hair follicles on more colored cells, but the use of this
.particular method limits the appearance of hair in non-hairy areas
A copsy is about taking many small graftings from areas of healthy skin and placing them in the areas of the
.a
ff
ected skin
.Skin grafts in several ways, the best of which is suction (bubbles) as they often leave no traces
Autologous chromosomal cell transplantation

Investigations), and prepared by the student, Mortada Thajeel Jassim
١٢
13. Second, decolorization therapy
If the vitiligo patient has more than 50% of the visible areas and the patient does not want to recolor, the color
.can be removed with a special cream
.The color is removed at 90-95% of patients over a period of one year or more
Treatment is
fi
ne, but sometimes there may be hypersensitivity or non-response to the drug and then
.treatment should be discontinued immediately if allergy paints are not of use
.After decolorization, the patient should use sunscreen paints for life and avoid exposure to excess sunlight
Autologous chromosomal cell transplantation
It is the latest surgical treatment method for vitiligo globally where vitamin cells are separated and
.concentrated in the laboratory before being replanted in the a
ff
ected area
.This operation is performed in regular clinics (without hospital stays, it takes only about 3 hours
It is worth mentioning that the treatment began in this way in America at Yale University and was then
developed by the Swedish scientist Mats Olson with a medical team in speci
fi
c places of the world, including
.from the Arab countries and Saudi Arabia, to name a few
١٣
14. ?Is vitiligo hereditary
Vitiligo in the family may be transmitted through genetics
because genes play an important role in developing it, and about 30% of people with vitiligo have at least one
relative as well. However, the disease does not necessarily have to be transmitted from parents to children
.directly
?Is vitiligo contagious
Vitiligo is a non-communicable disease
it is not transmitted from one person to another by any means, it is a painless disease, and has no signi
fi
cant ,
health consequences, yet it can have consequences for the patient's psyche

16. New ways to grow skin to treat vitiligo
In this study, 28 patients with vitiligo, aged between 18-60 years, underwent keratinocyte melanocyte
transplantation. The procedure was performed 36 times, and the researchers tracked the results of 29 of them.
.The duration of the operation ranged from 30 minutes to 2 hours
.The patient is discharged from the hospital on the same day
During the process, melanocytes are taken from healthy skin areas and then separated to form a mixture of
skin cells, which is later placed in the area of
skin to be treated
The treated area, which is about the size of an average credit card, is covered with an adhesive backing made .
.especially for this procedure
This study was conducted in collaboration between Henry Ford Hospital and the National Vitiligo Center in
.Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

17. protection:
There is no way to prevent vitiligo;
But awareness of the signs is the most important component of addressing the problem.
Instructions for people with vitiligo:
• Protect the skin from the sun by wearing protective clothing and using sunblock.
• Avoid using private tanning beds.
• Reducing stress and tension and working on psychological stability.
• Avoid exposure to certain chemicals eg in the
fi
eld of work.
• Avoid using unlicensed creams and mixtures.
• Staying away from testing treatment based on the experiences of others.
