Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

3.9K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.1K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

5.5K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

z Scores and Area Under the Curve01:17

z Scores and Area Under the Curve

19.7K
z scores are the standardized values obtained after converting a normal distribution into a standard normal distribution. A z score is measured in units of the standard deviation. The z score tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a z score of...

Anatomy of the Intestines01:23

Anatomy of the Intestines

88.5K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

2.0K
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Health
  • Perinatal Epidemiology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Low birth weight (LBW) is a significant indicator of neonatal health and a predictor of infant mortality.
  • Understanding the incidence and associated risk factors of LBW is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of low birth weight (LBW) neonates.
  • To evaluate the associated risk factors for LBW in a hospital-based cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective hospital-based study conducted from January 1995 to December 1996.
  • Inclusion of 3100 consecutively delivered live newborns.
  • Classification of newborns based on birth weight and gestational age.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of LBW neonates was 32.7% (327 per 1000 live births).
  • Small for gestational age (SGA) neonates constituted 80.4% of LBW infants.
  • Maternal age group 19-25 years and primiparous mothers showed higher contributions to LBW births.

Conclusions:

  • The high incidence of LBW (32.7%) necessitates urgent attention and intervention strategies.
  • Maternal age, parity, and obstetrical complications are significant risk factors for LBW.
  • Further research into specific interventions for SGA and preterm neonates is warranted.
