ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Anogenital disorders encompass a broad spectrum of conditions with diverse pathogenetic origins, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms and overlapping causative factors, thereby posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Effective management requires interdisciplinary knowledge and the use of medical guidelines. Guidelines can play an important role in translating current knowledge into clinical practice and ensuring consistent care, minimizing complications, and optimizing patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The dermatologically relevant guidelines for anogenital disorders, categorized by etiological groups, are reviewed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A selective literature review was conducted, incorporating data from the guideline repository of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). RESULTS: A broad range of current guidelines pertinent to the management of anogenital disorders with relevance for dermatologists is available. These encompass guidelines for the management of chronic inflammatory dermatoses with (potential) involvement of the anogenital region, such as anal eczema, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, or lichen ruber, as well as sexually transmitted infections and associated conditions, involving a broad range of pathogens, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or human papillomaviruses (HPV)-associated disorders. In this article, we provide an overview of the available guidelines. CONCLUSION: The present article does not claim to be exhaustive. The validity of the mentioned guidelines and the availability of updates needs to be verified in each case.

Candida albicans is a common commensal fungus that colonizes the oropharyngeal cavity, gastrointestinal and vaginal tract, and healthy individuals' skin. In 50% of the population, C. albicans is part of the normal flora of the microbiota. The various clinical manifestations of Candida species range from localized, superficial mucocutaneous disorders to invasive diseases that involve multiple organ systems and are life-threatening. From systemic and local to hereditary and environmental, diverse factors lead to disturbances in Candida's normal homeostasis, resulting in a transition from normal flora to pathogenic and opportunistic infections. The transition in the pathophysiology of the onset and progression of infection is also influenced by Candida's virulence traits that lead to the development of candidiasis. Oral candidiasis has a wide range of clinical manifestations, divided into primary and secondary candidiasis. The main supply of C. albicans in the body is located in the gastrointestinal tract, and the development of infections occurs due to dysbiosis of the residential microbiota, immune dysfunction, and damage to the muco-intestinal barrier. The presence of C. albicans in the blood is associated with candidemia-invasive Candida infections. The commensal relationship exists as long as there is a balance between the host immune system and the virulence factors of C. albicans. This paper presents the virulence traits of Candida albicans and clinical manifestations of specific candidiasis.
ABSTRACT
Small scale restricted online course (SPOCs)+flipped classroomteaching is expected to become an important complement to the traditional teaching of dermatology. In this teaching mode, first of all knowledge nodes are divided separately according to the syllabus and for each node, 7 to 10 minutes of micro video or micro-lecture is made, which enables students to make best use of fragmented time through the network to master relevant knowledge independently before the trainee. In the flipped classroom, based on the difficulties and misunderstandings of learning reflected from the network monitor data, teacher can make full use of time on demonstrating typical cases, organizing discussion, grouping students to take diag-nostic and therapeutic exercise, answering targeted questions, teaching clinical thinking, experience and doctor-patient communication skills. Through this teaching mode, the new teaching idea can be imple-mented that students are in dominant position while teachers are in leading position, which contributes to deepening the understanding , absorption and application of knowledge and improving students' ability of communication, cooperation, diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
There are many superiorities of multimedia in dermatovenerology as a modern teaching tool.This article summarizes the multimedia experience during dermatology teaching,then discusses and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of multimedia courseware.And some corresponding measures are also put forward.
