    Extractions: The lungs and skin (as well as the nose and eyes) are the organs of first contact for most environmental exposures (excluding ingestion). This page complements other modes of learning about the skin's health in relation to occupational and environmental hazards. The skin is not an absolutely impermeable membrane. It consists of a layer of horny dead cells overlying living (and very vulnerable) ones. It is fairly impermeable to water splashes but continuous immersion in water with friction will macerate it. Organic fat solvents can go through the skin fairly quickly. Inorganic caustics (strongly alkaline compounds) will damage the skin very readily by sparifying fat and hydrolysing protein. The skin has a very good capacity to regenerate provided the deepest layers are not irretrievably damaged. However while it is still damaged and not yet fully healed it remains vulnerable to damage and can be made worse by many agents which the normal skin could easily have withstood. Obviously strong caustics, acids or similar substances will corrode the skin severel

    Extractions: INTRODUCTION The effects of the work environment on the skin are rarely life threatening. However, they can cause much morbidity and suffering to the workers, and are a significant cause of decreased productivity and sickness absence in industry( Occupational dermatoses are defined as any pathological conditions of the skin for which job exposure can be shown to be a major direct or contributory factor( EPIDEMIOLOGY OF OCCUPATIONAL DERMATOSES In a reported series of 1,727 cases of occupational dermatoses which were confirmed by the Ministry of Labour in Singapore between 1983 to 1987, contact dermatitis was the most common presentation of occupational dermatose3. It accounted for 86% of all cases. About one fifth of the cases were from the construction industry, while the rapidly expanding electronics industry contributed to 15% of all cases. Many of these cases were assessed in a government skin hospital. A published series of 557 patients with occupational dermatoses seen at a Singapore government skin hospital between 1984 and 1985 reported that the majority of cases were contact dermatiti4. Irritant contact dermatitis was the most predominant (56%) followed by allergic contact dermatitis (39%). A small proportion (5%) of the cases were non-contact dermatitis, such as fibre glass dermatoses, miliaria and oil folliculitis. Most of the affected workers were from the construction (30%), metal and engineering (21%), electrical and electronic (16%), transport (6%) and food catering (4%) industries. Cutting fluids, oil, cement, solvents, detergents and soldering flux were the commonest occupational irritants. The common occupational allergens included chromates, rubber chemicals, resins, nickel and cobalt. A few workers had contact urticana to proteinaceous foods.

    2000 The History of urticaria and Angioedema. Scotland . The term urticaria was later accepted by Peter Frank in Vienna and other centres.  
    http://www.chez.com/sfhd/ecrits/urtic.htm
    
    Extractions: Department of Dermatology, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden Probably the most early description of the disease we today call urticaria is found in "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", Huang Di Nei Jing, which was written sometimes between 1000-200 years before Christ ( ). In chapter 64 of Basic questions (Sin Wen) urticaria is called "Feng Yin Zheng" which means wind-type concealed rash. This is still the Chinese word for urticaria which was thought to be due to excess in lesser Yin which causes obstruction of fluid in the skin. Hippokrates who lived 460-377 BC described elevated itching lesions caused by nettles and mosquitoes which he called knidosis after the Greek word for nettle (knido). He also mentions that the weals can occur in patients with gastrointestinal disorders but then often with less itching. The same name was again introduced by Jean-Louis Alibert in Paris in his book on skin diseases published in 1833 ( ). Hebra used the term knidosis for the chronic type of nettle rash whereas in Andrew's and Domonko's textbook from 1963 it is used synonymously with urticaria.

When exposed to light, the skin cells of someone with solar urticaria release potent chemicals (including histamine), causing their blood vessels to open and fluid to collect within the skin. Their skin feels itchy and has red patches, which may be swollen. These may look like weals or a nettle rash, and can take up to an hour to appear after exposure to light, then coming on quickly and settling within a similar period. There is no permanent change to the skin.

    Extractions: Hives Urticaria is a skin symptom that accompanies many allergic disorders . It is a relatively common disorder caused by localized mast-cell degranulation, with resultant dermal venular hyperpermeability culminating in pruritic wheals. Mostly results from an antigen-induced ( pollens foods drugs insect venom ) release of histamine and other vasoactive amines via sensitization with specific IgE antibodies. Most individual lesions develop and fade within 24 hours.

    Extractions: Urticaria, commonly known as hives is characterised by transient, itchy, oedematous wheals or red papules. The important thing that distinguishes it from other skin conditions is the transient nature and the intense pruritus. Individual lesions should last no longer than 24 hours and disappear without leaving any marks. Deeper swellings, known as angioedema, are most often found in the mouth, eyelids, or genitalia, but may occur anywhere. Angioedema is associated with urticaria in about 40% of cases or occurs on its own in 10% of cases. Prevalence Causes of Acute Urticaria Idiopathic in up to 50% of cases Foods : fruits (eg, strawberries), milk, eggs, seafood, nuts, and spices, Drugs: Viral Infections: This is a common, but poorly recognised cause of acute urticaria, especially in children. Often antibiotics are blamed for this reaction. Wasp or bee sting Blood products Chronic Urticaria Chronic urticaria (lasting more than 6 weeks) is much more troublesome than acute urticaria. Recent studies using an internationally recognised quality of life questionnaire, the Nottingham health profile, have highlighted the disability of patients with chronic urticaria, including loss of sleep and energy, social isolation, altered emotional reactions, and difficulties in aspects of daily living. The disability is of the same order as that experienced by patients with sever chronic ischaemic heart disease.

    Extractions: About Our Staff ... Pollen Count Chronic Hives (Urticaria) - A Guide For Sufferers Likely the most distressing problem Allergy/Immunologists and Dermatologists see in their patients, is hives or urticaria. In most people hives are self-limited, only lasting a few weeks. In these self-limited cases, a theory is that the hives might be caused by a virus. The definition of urticaria or hives is that it is a rash with the following characteristics: they are red to pink in color, their shape varies from small bumps to blotchy or streaky areas, they are very itchy, and they appear and disappear at irregular time intervals - when they disappear, they do so without a trace. Hives can sometimes be accompanied by swelling of areas of the body, such as the lips, tongue, and hands - a condition called angioedema. The information below pertains to both hives and angioedema. Hives can occur as an allergic reaction to a variety of things (foods, insect stings, medications - especially aspirin or motrin-type drugs). In this case, the patient usually figures out the association by themselves, and they never bother coming to a specialists office. When hives are caused by an allergic reaction to a substance, they usually break out within one hour of the exposure. Also, the hives usually occur each time the person is exposed to the particular substance. However, we most often see people who have chronic urticaria or hives, defined as hives lasting longer than 6 weeks. This is a much more vexing problem for both the patient and the doctor. Patients like this come in miserable and worried with this problem, often having seen multiple specialists. Neither the patient or the doctor can determine the cause of the hives. Patients will often say "it has got to be something causing these hives." The truth is hard to accept for some patients.

    Extractions: Urticaria and Angioedema: Synopsis Select One Definitions Symptoms Classification Causes Treatment Urticaria and Angioedema: Global Overview Printer-friendly version Urticaria is a transient erythematous swelling of the skin, associated with itching, which usually resolves within 24 hours. Angioedema (previously known as angioneurotic edema) is characterized by swellings caused by edema in the deeper dermal, cutaneous and sub-mucosal tissue. Urticarial lesions itch, have a central white wheal that is elevated, and are surrounded by an erythematous halo. The lesions are typically rounded and circumscribed. Characteristically, hives should blanch with pressure; they generally resolve within 24 hours, leaving no residual change to the skin. The redness, which is mediated by local neural reflexes, is due to dilated blood vessels in superficial layers of the skin; the wheal is due to leakage of these vessels as fluid extravasates and compresses the vessels beneath it so that the central area appears clear. Swelling of deeper layers of the skin, angioedema, commonly accompanies urticaria (

Urtica is further derived from the Latin uro Urticaceae is the most notorious family for causing urticaria. TOXIN-MEDIATED URTICARIA ( TMU ) Toxin-mediated (non-immunologic) contact urticaria occurs without prior sensitization in most individuals who contact plants such as nettles. Most cases of contact urticaria due to plants are toxin-mediated and do not involve a Type I hypersensitivity reaction. Such plant species possess sharp hairs known as trichomes on the surfaces of leaves and stems. The proximal silicaceous hair attaches to a distal calcified portion with a terminal bulb. When rubbed against, the bulb is dislodged at a predetermined line from the end of the hair revealing a beveled, hypodermic needle-like, silicaceous hollow. These release irritant chemical cocktails (containing histamine, acetylcholine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine) that supposedly act as a defense mechanism against plant-eaters. These plants have been used since antiquity as counterirritants in folk medicine.
