Natural Selection and Mating Preferences01:06

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences

571
The principle of natural selection posits that organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.
Females, due to their biological roles in conception, pregnancy, and nursing,...

Factorial Design

14.2K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

In- and Out-Groups

43.7K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Confirmation Biases

8.3K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Relationship Formation

46.3K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Summary

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) management has new options. While targeted therapies and calcimimetics like cinacalcet show promise, surgical parathyroidectomy remains a cost-effective alternative for some patients.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
  • SHPT is linked to bone disease, vascular calcifications, and increased cardiovascular mortality.
  • Recent advancements include selective vitamin D receptor activators and calcium-sensing receptor modulators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current pharmacological management of SHPT in ESRD patients.
  • To compare the efficacy and limitations of cinacalcet with surgical parathyroidectomy (sPTX).
  • To discuss the potential cost-effectiveness of different treatment modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pharmacological and surgical interventions for SHPT in ESRD.
  • Analysis of clinical outcomes associated with cinacalcet and sPTX.
  • Evaluation of cost-effectiveness data comparing cinacalcet and sPTX.

Main Results:

  • Cinacalcet offers targeted PTH control without calcium augmentation but lacks prospective data on quality of life, anemia, phosphate binder use, or mortality.
  • Cinacalcet may improve vascular calcifications and calciphylaxis but has side effects like gastrointestinal intolerance and hypocalcemia, with adherence issues.
  • Surgical parathyroidectomy (sPTX) can significantly reduce PTH levels and symptoms, and may be more cost-effective than cinacalcet in some uncontrolled SHPT cases.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced pharmacological treatments, including cinacalcet, provide new avenues for SHPT management in ESRD.
  • Despite pharmacological progress, sPTX remains a viable and potentially more cost-effective option for select ESRD patients with uncontrolled SHPT.
  • Further research is needed to establish long-term benefits and comparative effectiveness of current SHPT therapies.
