Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

14.6K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

6.9K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract....

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

16.9K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nasal polyposis in Malaysians shows a neutrophil-predominant pattern, differing from Caucasian populations. This suggests distinct etiologies and management strategies for Asian patients with nasal polyps.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the upper airway.
  • Cellular infiltration patterns in nasal polyps can vary geographically, influencing treatment approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the cellular infiltration pattern in nasal polyposis within the Malaysian population.
  • To compare these findings with those from other Asian countries and Caucasian populations.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 80 patients diagnosed with nasal polyposis between January 2008 and June 2012.
  • Inclusion criteria: patients undergoing their first nasal polyp operation with histopathological confirmation.

Main Results:

  • Neutrophil-predominant polyps were observed in 48.75% of Malaysian subjects.
  • This pattern contrasts with the eosinophil-predominant polyps commonly seen in Caucasian populations.
  • The observed neutrophil predominance aligns with findings from other studies in Asian countries.

Conclusions:

  • The underlying causes of nasal polyposis may differ between Caucasian and Asian populations.
  • This suggests a need for tailored management strategies, potentially including long-term antibiotics for Asian patients.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and optimize treatment for nasal polyposis in Asian populations.
