Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.4K
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...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

735
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...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

1.7K
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints01:16

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints

9.3K
Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body. A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint is the presence of a joint cavity. This fluid-filled space is where the articulating surfaces of the bones contact each other. Also, unlike fibrous or cartilaginous joints, the articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage. This gives the bones of a synovial joint the ability to move smoothly...

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types

3.0K
Gastritis, defined by the inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining or gastric mucosa, manifests in several distinct forms: acute, chronic, reactive, and a specific subtype known as autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis.
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Gouty arthritis, a common condition in men, results from uric acid crystal deposition. Effective treatment involves managing hyperuricemia with medications like allopurinol or febuxostat from the first attack.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Crystal-induced arthritis

Background:

  • Gouty arthritis is the most prevalent arthritis form in men.
  • Persisting hyperuricemia leads to uric acid crystal deposition, activating the innate immune system.
  • Acute gout attacks present as abrupt, monoarticular arthritis, typically in lower extremities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on gout pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy.
  • To highlight key diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for gout management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical knowledge and evidence.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools including arthrosonography and synovial fluid analysis.
  • Evaluation of therapeutic approaches for acute attacks and long-term hyperuricemia management.

Main Results:

  • Arthrosonography aids in early detection of crystal deposition.
  • Polarization microscopy of synovial fluid confirms gout by detecting uric acid crystals.
  • Effective, lifelong management of hyperuricemia is crucial, often with allopurinol or febuxostat.

Conclusions:

  • Gout diagnosis is confirmed by detecting uric acid crystals in synovial fluid.
  • Acute gout attacks require rapid anti-inflammatory treatment.
  • Long-term management of hyperuricemia is essential for preventing recurrent gout attacks.
