Anatomical Terminology

Anatomical Terminology

Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Epistasis

Epistasis

In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...

Epistasis Analysis

Epistasis Analysis

Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Area of Science:

Health Services Research
Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

The Evidence-based Practice Improvement (EPI) initiative was established to enhance healthcare quality.
Understanding the origins of EPI is crucial for its continued development and application.

Purpose of the Study:

To document and reflect on the intellectual journey and conceptualization process that led to the creation of EPI.
To provide historical context for the foundational ideas driving the EPI initiative.

Main Methods:

Qualitative review of historical documents and records pertaining to EPI's inception.
Recollection and synthesis of the key ideas and thought processes from the individuals involved in EPI's creation.

Main Results:

The creation of EPI was driven by a convergence of specific needs and innovative thinking in healthcare improvement.
Key conceptual frameworks and guiding principles were identified as central to EPI's initial design.

Conclusions:

The foundational ideas behind EPI remain relevant for current and future healthcare improvement efforts.
Documenting the genesis of such initiatives offers valuable insights for the field of evidence-based practice.
