psoriatic skin [1‚2]. Subsequent studies have supported the concept that interactions between dendritic cells‚ T cells‚ keratinocytes‚ neutrophils‚ and the cytokines released from immune cells likely contribute to the initiation and perpetuation of the cutaneous inflammation that is characteristic of psoriasis [3]. A basic sequence of the immunologic events that are theorized to occur in psoriasis is described below [3]: * Antigenic stimuli contribute to the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

Perception as a pramana or method of knowledge has not been discussed at length in Western logic. In so far as it has been discussed‚ it has created a divide amongst the realists‚ the idealists and the empiricists.

Melanoma What is it? Melanoma is a type of skin cancer which develops in the pigment cells that are present in the skin‚ known as melanocytes [1]. These are found in the bottom of the epidermis and produce a pigment called melanin when the skin is exposed to sun [2]. The cancerous growth develops when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells (which often occurs due to UV rays from the sun or tanning beds) trigger mutations which lead in skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors.

Further research revealed there were dissimilarities on the cutaneous lesion ’s pattern‚ whereas EMM referred to target raised edematous papules. SJS was characterized by blisters on top of an erythematous or purpuric base ( Mockenhaupt et al.‚ 2011). Pathophysiology and Etiology: The development of a hypersensitivity
