Atopic dermatitis in children and adults
Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In this webinar, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for atopic dermatitis in both children and adults. Atopic dermatitis is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. People with a family history of eczema, asthma, or hay fever are more likely to develop atopic dermatitis. Environmental factors such as exposure to irritants, stress, and changes in temperature can also trigger eczema. In severe cases, the skin may become cracked, weepy, and infected. It is also common for people with eczema to have trouble sleeping due to the constant itching and discomfort. Topical treatments, such as corticosteroids and moisturizers, are usually the first line of defense against eczema. Oral medications, such as antihistamines and immunosuppressants, may be prescribed for severe cases. Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, uses UV light to reduce inflammation and itching.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
