Case Study 1.
The human skin consists of three main layers, epidermis: The outermost layer, containing
the stratum corneum, which acts as the primary protective barrier, dermis: A fibrous layer
beneath the epidermis that provides support and strength, (Subcutis) Hypodermis: The deepest layer, composed of fat that cushions and insulates the body. Thick skin is found in areas with high friction, such as the palms of hands and soles of feet. It has an additional layer called the stratum lucidum between the epidermis and dermis. Joey’s burns are on his upper torso, which typically has thin skin. Therefore, he did not burn thick skin. Since Joey’s burns are not painful, they likely affect the epidermis and possibly the upper dermis. Lack of pain suggests a third-degree burn because deeper burns involving nerve endings would be more painful.

There are four accessory structures present in the skin. One of them is hair follicles. These produce hair and are essential for thermoregulation and sensory perception. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum (oil) to moisturize the skin and hair. Sweat glands are
responsible for temperature regulation and waste elimination. Lastly, the nails protect the fingertips and enhance fine motor skills. Long-term effects on Joey’s accessory structures
can include, burned hair follicles which may lead to permanent hair loss, reduced sebum production could cause dry skin, impaired sweating may affect temperature regulation, and nail growth might be affected due to damage to the nail matrix. The antibiotics were prescribed to prevent infection in the damaged skin and graft site. Joey’s recovery will depend on proper wound care and monitoring. The lack of pain does not necessarily indicate severity; it’s crucial to assess the extent of tissue damage and healing progress. Chruścik, A., Kauter, K., Windus, L., & Whiteside, E.

Melanin is the key player responsible for skin pigmentation. It’s produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. These melanocytes reside in the epidermal layer of the skin. When melanocytes are healthy and functional, they synthesize melanin and distribute it to
nearby skin cells. This melanin provides color to the skin, hair, and eyes. In Livie’s case, vitiligo causes the destruction or dysfunction of melanocytes in certain areas, leading to depigmentation. The white patches she experiences result from the absence of melanin in those regions. Melanin serves as a natural sunscreen. It absorbs and dissipates harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, protecting the skin. In areas affected by vitiligo (where melanin is lacking), the skin becomes more sensitive to UV exposure. Without

Case Study: Suhar, a 13 year old male, visits the emergency room with an infected surgical wound. He broke his radius while skateboarding and had surgery to repair the break 6 days ago. Upon examination you notice that he has a fever and the tissue surrounding the surgical wound is black, swollen and draining a foarmy fluid. He tells you he has a headache and is unable to move the forearm due to pain. His medical records indicates that he is up to date on all his vaccinations. His mother tells you during the examination that his diet consists mostly of junk food and soda and that he has not been changing his wound dressing regularly.
What infection does Suhar have and what organism causes it?

174. An 8-year-old girl is brought to the physician because of an 8-year history of stretchy skin. She is at the 50th percentile for height and weight. Physical examination shows smooth
skin that is velvety to the touch, extends easily, and snaps back after release. There are multiple thin, stretched scars over the forehead, elbows, knees, and shins. Range-of-
motion testing shows hypermobility of the hand and knee joints. Her mother has similar findings. Genetic testing of the patient's lymphocytes shows a 16-nucleotidé deletion in a
collagen 5A1 (COL5A1) allele. The mRNA product of COL5A1 in both the nucleus and cytoplasm is assessed in cultured skin fibroblasts. Results show a 50% level of mutated
mRNA in the nucleus and 0% level of mutated mRNA in the cytoplasm. Based on these findings, which of the following disease mechanisms is most likely in this patient?
A) Alternate splice site created
