Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...
Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...
Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
Seizures: Classification01:13

Seizures: Classification

Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Heart Failure IV: Classification and Diagnostic Evaluation01:30

Heart Failure IV: Classification and Diagnostic Evaluation

Heart failure can be classified in various ways, with the most common classifications based on physical activity limitations, disease progression, severity, and treatment strategies.The Functional Classification of Heart Failure divides patients into four categories based on physical activity limitation due to symptom burden.Class I: Patients in this class have cardiac disease but no physical activity limitations. Ordinary activities like walking, climbing stairs, or routine tasks do not cause...

Summary

The Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is a complex disorder affecting facial and vertebral development. A new classification and scoring system improve OAVS prognosis, particularly for developmental delays and brain anomalies.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is a heterogeneous disorder with ear, facial, and vertebral anomalies.
  • Associated findings include eye and brain defects, and developmental delay.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new classification system for OAVS based on clinical findings and laterality.
  • To create a scoring system to aid in predicting prognosis for OAVS patients.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical data and photographs from 53 unrelated OAVS patients were analyzed.
  • A new classification system with six subgroups was developed.
  • A scoring system was devised based on main and associated clinical findings.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant correlation was found between OAVS subgroups and associated clinical findings.
  • Prognosis differs significantly between unilaterally and bilaterally affected patients.
  • The scoring system aids in predicting motor development delay and brain anomalies.

Conclusions:

  • The new OAVS classification system is clinically relevant for patient categorization.
  • The scoring system provides valuable prognostic information, especially for neurodevelopmental outcomes.
  • Significant clustering of clinical findings in OAVS supports previous observations.
