Trichophytosis is one of the most common skin diseases in cattle.Trichophytosis is a transmissible infectious skin disease caused most often byTrichophyton verrucosum with spores which can remain alive for years in a dryenvironment. This is a zoonotic disease, as it can equally infect people and animals.The infection spreads rapidly, and this fungal disease leads to certain economiclosses. Direct contact with infected animals is the most common method of spreadingthe infection. During this research, beef cattle aged 4 months were transported fromsouthern Serbia to the part of Vojvodina - Mačva. One month after the transportation,the characteristic gray-white round changes occured on the skin of beef cattle.Affected animals from five individual farms did not receive any treatment, whileanimals from other five farms were treated with Decanol® solution. As a conclusion,application of therapy or vaccination along with a high quality diet is the best wayto to suppress triphophytosis.

Objective - To increase awareness of the psychosocial impact of Kushtha, Visarpa, Mukhadushika, Sheetpitta, Udarda and Kotha in Ayurveda and Acne vulgaris, Urticaria, Various types of fungal infections, Atopic dermatitis, Psoriasis etc. in modern point of view. Quality Of Evidence - A literature review was based on a MEDLINE search (1966 to 2000). Selected articles from the dermatologic and psychiatric literature, as well as other relevant medical journals, were reviewed and used as the basis for discussion of how skin disease affects patients’ lives and of appropriate management. Message - Dermatologic problems hurt patients’ quality of life. skin disease can produce stress, anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, embarrassment, and other psychological, personal, professional and social life problems that affect patients’ lives in ways comparable to arthritis or other disabling illnesses, as well as showing a bidirectional relationship between skin disease and psychological distress. This review focuses on the effects of five common skin diseases seen by family physicians- Acne, Urticaria, Various types of fungal infections, Atopic dermatitis and Psoriasis. Conclusion - How skin disease affects psychosocial well-being is un- derappreciated. Increased understanding of the psychiatric comorbidity associated with skin disease and a biopsy- chosocial approach to management will ultimately improve patients’ lives. Keywords: Skin disease, Psychosocial Impact, Quality of life.

Skin disease has a serious impact on an individual’s quality of life. It is well recognized that conditions such as psoriasis may have a similar impact on a patient’s quality of life to chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Skin problems account for approximately 20% of all patient consultations in primary care in the UK. It is important that clinicians are able to diagnose common skin diseases such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and cutaneous malignancies and initiate an appropriate management plan. This requires the ability to take a full history and conduct a complete examination. A complete dermatological examination involves examination of the entire skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails. The description of cutaneous pathologies should include the location and distribution of lesions. The morphology of a lesion or each component of a generalized eruption should be noted. Other organ systems may also need to be examined. The questions in this chapter will test your knowledge of the skin problems that are frequently encountered in non-specialist clinical practice. Other more rare skin disorders are also covered, either because they are potentially life-threatening or because they are a sign of systemic disease. The questions are designed to improve your ability to recognize the morphology and distribution of cutaneous physical signs. Hopefully you will find these questions stimulating and an aid to improving your knowledge of skin disease.

Background Acne is a common skin disease that can affect a person’s quality of life (QoL), self-esteem, and mood in an adverse manner. The aim of the current study was to assess QoL among Montenegrin pupils with acne. Methods This cross-sectional survey was conducted over October and November 2020 in four randomly selected secondary schools in Podgorica, Montenegro. All 500 pupils were asked to fill in a short questionnaire which included questions on age, sex, presence of acne, and for those with acne their duration and location, visits to doctors, presence of any other coexisting skin disease, and family history of acne. Only pupils who self-reported acne were asked to complete the Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) and the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI). Results Self reported acne were presented in 49.8% (249/500) of all pupils. The mean CDLQI score of the total sample was 4.27 ± 5.13. Overall, the CDLQI domains that were most affected by acne were symptoms and feelings (mean score 1.49 ± 1.43), leisure (mean score 0.94 ± 1.72), and treatment (0.66 ± 0.79). The mean total CADI score was 3.53 ± 3.11 which was higher in girls (4.07 ± 3.11) than in boys (2.90 ± 3.00). There was good correlation between the two questionnaires (Rho = 0.76; P < 0.01). According to multiple linear regressions, higher overall CDLQI score was found in pupils with acne who reported other skin diseases, while girls, pupils who reported both acne on face and back, and who had any concomitant skin disease had higher CADI total score. Conclusions Acne affects QoL of young adolescents in Montenegro with greater impact in girls. Our findings should point out the importance of timely diagnosis, treatment, and education of adolescents with acne.

The main objective of this study was to compare the effect of supplementing beef cattle with Desmanthus virgatus cv. JCU2, D. bicornutus cv. JCU4, D. leptophyllus cv. JCU7 and lucerne on in vivo methane (CH4) emissions measured by open-circuit respiration chambers (OC) or the GreenFeed emission monitoring (GEM) system. Experiment 1 employed OC and utilized sixteen yearling Brangus steers fed a basal diet of Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) hay in four treatments—the three Desmanthus cultivars and lucerne (Medicago sativa) at 30% dry matter intake (DMI). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added to the diets to neutralize tannin binding and explore the effect on CH4 emissions. Experiment 2 employed GEM and utilized forty-eight animals allocated to four treatments including a basal diet of Rhodes grass hay plus the three Desmanthus cultivars in equal proportions at 0, 15, 30 and 45% DMI. Lucerne was added to equilibrate crude protein content in all treatments. Experiment 1 showed no difference in CH4 emissions between the Desmanthus cultivars, between Desmanthus and lucerne or between Desmanthus and the basal diet. Experiment 2 showed an increase in CH4 emissions in the three levels containing Desmanthus. It is concluded that on high-quality diets, Desmanthus does not reduce CH4 emissions.

Practical relevance: Prior to 1990 papillomaviruses (PVs) were not recognised to infect or cause disease in domestic cats. Since this time, the use of histology, immunohistochemistry and, more recently, molecular techniques has revealed that PVs almost certainly cause feline viral plaques and Bowenoid in situ carcinomas, oral papillomas and feline sarcoids. In addition, there is increasing evidence that PVs play a significant role in the development of feline cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas, one of the most common skin cancers of cats. Recent studies have also revealed that most cats are asymptomatically infected with PVs. This raises a critical question that is currently unanswered: why do only a small proportion of infected cats develop disease? In the future it may be possible to prevent PV-induced diseases by using a vaccine to prevent PV infection. Alternatively, novel therapies may be developed that prevent PVs from causing clinical disease by stimulating the host immune response. Clinical challenges: A recognition of the skin diseases caused by PVs is important to more accurately predict disease progression. Unfortunately, there are currently no non-surgical treatments that have been proven to be beneficial in cats and clinical management of PV-induced skin disease in cats can be challenging. Global importance: PVs have a worldwide distribution and negatively impact feline health and welfare globally. Audience: This review is aimed at clinicians, especially those who regularly treat cats with skin disease. The review will also be useful to oncologists and researchers who have an interest in how cancer develops in cats. Evidence base: In producing this update the authors have drawn on recently published peer-reviewed literature.
