Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

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...

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Pericarditis I: Introduction

Pericarditis I: Introduction

Pericarditis is defined as the inflammation of the pericardium, the thin, sac-like membrane surrounding the heart. This condition can cause significant chest pain and other symptoms, often necessitating medical intervention. The pericardium has two layers: the inner visceral layer and the outer parietal layer, separated by a small amount of fluid that reduces friction during heartbeats.Types of PericarditisPericarditis can be classified into several types based on the duration and nature of the...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

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...

Background:

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most prevalent vasculitis affecting Caucasians.
Acute visual loss is the most feared complication of GCA.
GCA can lead to irreversible vision loss if not promptly diagnosed and treated.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current guidelines for early GCA recognition.
To discuss contemporary diagnostic and management strategies for GCA.
To highlight advances in imaging for GCA and associated large-vessel vasculitis.

Main Methods:

Review of recent international guidelines on GCA.
Analysis of diagnostic and management strategies.
Discussion of imaging advancements, including in large-vessel vasculitis.
Sharing experience with a fast-track pathway for GCA diagnosis and management.

Main Results:

GCA requires prompt recognition of systemic, cranial, and ophthalmic signs.
Current guidelines emphasize early diagnosis and treatment to prevent vision loss.
Advanced imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing GCA and related vasculitis.
A fast-track pathway can expedite diagnosis and management.

Conclusions:

Early identification and management of GCA are critical to prevent vision loss.
Adherence to updated guidelines and utilization of advanced imaging improve patient outcomes.
Integrated approaches, including fast-track pathways, are beneficial for managing GCA.
Understanding GCA and associated large-vessel vasculitis is essential for effective patient care.
