Prognosis

Abstract | Full HTML Article | PDF ecancer 11 756 / https://doi.org/10.3332/ecancer.2017.756 Case Report Glioblastoma cerebri is a rare paediatric malignancy with dismal prognosis [Chappé C, Riffaud L, and Tréguier C et al (2013) Primary gliomatosis cerebri [ecancer.org]

What is the prognosis of stretch marks? As the striae mature, they become less apparent but they rarely disappear. They do not cause any health problems. [medicinenet.com]

Etiology

[…] and Pathophysiology Specific etiology of SD is unknown. [unboundmedicine.com]

One of four possible etiologic mechanisms usually considered were: (1) insufficient development of the integuement, including a deficiency in its elastic properties; (2) rapid stretching of the skin; (3) endocrine imbalance; and (4) other, possibly toxic [jamanetwork.com]

The experience of 20 patients with striae distensae of varying etiologies and the treatment with topical tretinoin is described. Of the 16 patients who completed the study, 15 had significant improvement in their clinical picture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A number of key etiological theories have been postulated, including: Inadequate development of elastic fibers and collagen in the skin Endocrine imbalance and physical stretching of the skin due to increased size of any part of the body ex. [dermclub.org]

The etiology likely involves the interplay of mechanical stress, hormones, and genetics. Striae are commonly located on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, or in areas where the skin stretches excessively. [visualdx.com]

Epidemiology

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND RISK FACTORS Epidemiologic data on striae distensae in the general population are limited [ 1-11 ]. Reported incidences have ranged from as low as 11 percent in normal men to up to 88 percent in pregnant females [ 5,11 ]. [uptodate.com]

Risk factors have been reported but much remains to be understood about their epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. [scinapse.io]

To better characterize the epidemiological factors associated with SG. An anonymous survey administered at Stanford Ambulatory Clinics sampled 161 women who had given birth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology

BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence of striae distensae, clinical studies are few in number, and their pathophysiology still obscure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This chapter will address the pathophysiology and risks associated with the development of striae in the context of the above conditions as well as review preventive measures and known treatments. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]

Etiology Pathophysiology Striae distensae results from cracks in the connective tissue forming atrophic dermal scars underneath an atrophic epidermal layer. The pathophysiology of striae distensae is not fully understood. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Prevention

Finally, cocoa butter and olive oil are not effective for preventing SG or reducing the severity of lesions. We conclude that reliable methods for preventing SG are scarce. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fletcher and Marvin Reid, Prevention of striae gravidarum with cocoa butter cream, International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 108, 1, (65-68), (2009). [dx.doi.org]
