• copper-transport diseases
  22 April 2004

  Definition: Copper is an element essential for life, but excessive copper can be toxic or even lethal to the cell. Therefore, cells have developed sophisticated ways to maintain a critical copper balance, with the intake, export, and intracellular compartmentalization or buffering of copper strictly regulated.
  The 2 related genes ATP7A (MIM.300011) and ATP7B (MIM.606882), responsible for the human diseases Menkes syndrome (MIM.309400) and Wilson disease (MIM.277900), respectively, are (...)

• nail genetic diseases
  18 January 2005

  Hair and nail development have many similarities and are likely to share many developmental pathways. This is evident from the ectodermal dysplasias that affect both appendages. Of special interest are syndromic disorders as they show the effects of disturbances in molecular pathways that are essential for normal embryonic development.

• staphylococcal infections
  5 February 2006

  Lesions
  Whether the lesion is located in the skin, lungs, bones, or heart valves, S. aureus causes pyogenic inflammation that is distinctive for its local destructiveness.
  Staphylococcal skin infections
  Excluding impetigo, which is a staphylococcal or streptococcal infection restricted to the superficial epidermis, staphylococcal skin infections are centered around the hair follicles.
  A furuncle, or boil, is a focal suppurative inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, either (...)

• fungal infections
  14 April 2004

  mycoses, mycosis, fungal diseases, fungal infections
  Definition: Fungal infections are called mycoses. Fungi are eukaryotes that grow predominantly by budding (yeasts) or by filamentous extensions called hyphae (molds).
  The distinction between yeasts and molds is not absolute and is based on the usual morphology of the organism. Some fungi, such as Candida albicans, tend to grow predominantly as yeast but may also form hyphae.
  Dimorphic fungi have both a yeast form (at human body (...)
