Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

9.4K
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...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

5.9K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

77.8K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.0K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

4.2K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Understanding the historical roots of "race and medicine" is crucial. Medical concepts from the 18th century shaped early ideas of race as deviations from a norm, influencing modern debates.

Area of Science:

  • History of Medicine
  • Medical Anthropology
  • Sociology of Race

Background:

  • The concept of "race" in natural history, particularly from the 18th century onwards, has been significantly influenced by medical frameworks.
  • Contemporary debates on "race and medicine" often overlook the deep historical origins of these associations.

Observation:

  • Medical concepts and analogies served as foundational models for understanding racial categories in early natural history.
  • Specific analogies include comparing racial temperaments to morbid alterations and racial transmission to hereditary diseases.

Findings:

  • The historical analysis reveals two primary medical models used to conceptualize race: degeneration of the human type and molecular alteration of a character.
  • These models framed "races" as deviations or alterations from an original, idealized human identity.

Implications:

  • Understanding this history provides critical context for contemporary discussions on race and medicine.
  • Recognizing the medical origins of racial concepts can help deconstruct their biological basis and challenge their validity.
