Atherosclerosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Tests

380
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder that leads to the thickening and narrowing of arterial walls due to plaque buildup. This condition can cause various symptoms depending on the arteries affected:Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): This condition affects the coronary arteries and may lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath (dyspnea), heart attacks, and other heart disease symptoms.Cerebrovascular Disease: This affects blood flow to the brain, causing transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

1.1K
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

1.4K
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...

Introduction to Epidemiology01:26

Introduction to Epidemiology

1.5K
Epidemiology, known as the cornerstone of public health, involves studying the distribution and determinants of health-related events in defined populations and applying these insights to control health issues. This is essential for understanding how diseases spread, identifying populations at greater risk, and implementing measures to control or prevent outbreaks. Epidemiology addresses not only infectious diseases but also non-communicable conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease,...

Introduction
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

410
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Anthropology

Background:

  • Synophrys, or eyebrow fusion, is a normal variation.
  • It is also a clinical feature of genetic disorders like Cornelia De Lange syndrome.
  • Previous research has explored eyebrow aesthetics and genetics, but prevalence in the general population is unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of synophrys in the Omani population.
  • To investigate potential associations between synophrys and other conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted at Saham hospital.
  • 927 individuals attending the dermatology clinic and their companions were examined for synophrys.
  • Data on age, gender, and associated conditions were collected and analyzed using SPSS 22.

Main Results:

  • A total of 927 subjects were observed, aged 4 months to 69 years.
  • Synophrys was identified in 110 cases, representing an 11.87% prevalence.
  • Males (68) had a higher incidence than females (42).

Conclusions:

  • The prevalence of synophrys in the Omani population is 11.87%.
  • No specific genetic associations were identified in this study.
  • Synophrys inheritance appears to be polygenic, with known links to syndromes like Cornelia De Lange.
