Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

30
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

881
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.7K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Functional Classification of Joints

9.1K
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.0K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes01:30

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes

1.2K
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious diseases
  • Rheumatology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Arthritic disease can be caused by various viral and bacterial pathogens.
  • Arthropod vectors, including ticks and mosquitoes, are significant global transmitters of arthritis-causing agents.
  • The geographic spread of these vectors is increasing, leading to a rise in vector-borne infectious diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the clinical similarities between infectious arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis and management of infectious arthritis.
  • To underscore the need for further research into the mechanisms of prolonged arthropathies resulting from infection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical manifestations of infectious arthritis.
  • Comparison of symptoms with rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Analysis of clinical reports on prolonged arthropathies.

Main Results:

  • Infectious arthritis shares clinical presentations with rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Prolonged arthropathies can develop as a consequence of infection.
  • Increased global distribution of vectors like ticks and mosquitoes facilitates disease spread.

Conclusions:

  • Careful diagnostic and management strategies are essential for infectious arthritis.
  • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind infection-induced prolonged joint disease.
  • Recognizing the link between vector-borne diseases and arthritis is critical for public health.
