Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.6K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.6K
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...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

821
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...

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions01:19

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions

127
Type III hypersensitivity reactions occur when antigen–antibody complexes form and activate the complement system. Normally, these complexes help the clearance of antigens by phagocytes and red blood cells. However, when large numbers of immune complexes are present, they can deposit in tissues—particularly in the walls of blood vessels—leading to inflammation and tissue injury. These deposits trigger complement activation and neutrophil recruitment, resulting in serum...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

970
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...

Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

3
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...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sexually acquired reactive arthritis (SARA) is a clinical condition that may present acutely.
  • General physicians must be aware of SARA's potential presentation.
  • Timely recognition is crucial for effective patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of considering SARA in acute presentations.
  • To outline key historical and examination features for diagnosis.
  • To emphasize the need for appropriate investigations and specialist management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria for SARA.
  • Discussion of optimal investigation pathways.
  • Emphasis on multidisciplinary management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Key historical and examination findings are critical for SARA diagnosis.
  • Appropriate investigations guide treatment decisions.
  • Specialist involvement ensures comprehensive management.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt recognition and investigation of SARA are essential for general physicians.
  • Integrated management involving specialists improves patient care.
  • Partner notification is a required component when sexually transmitted infections are identified.
