What is Population Genetics?01:25

What is Population Genetics?

65.0K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Conservation of Small Populations

17.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Population Growth

28.7K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

227
Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Most pediatric intensive care unit admissions occur in specialist units, but a significant number of children are admitted to general hospital intensive care units. Including these general intensive care unit admissions provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric critical care.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pediatric Health
  • Hospital Administration

Background:

  • Registry-based studies often exclude pediatric intensive care admissions outside of children's hospitals.
  • This exclusion may lead to an incomplete understanding of pediatric critical care utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare pediatric admissions to specialist pediatric intensive care units (PICU) versus intensive care units (ICU) in general hospitals.
  • To evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of pediatric patients admitted to different types of intensive care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Population-based record linkage cohort study using Australian hospital and death data (2010-2013).
  • Included post-neonatal pediatric hospital admissions with ICU stay, excluding neonatal ICU admissions.

Main Results:

  • 1.5% of 498,466 pediatric hospitalizations involved ICU admission (93.7% PICU, 6.3% general ICU).
  • General ICU admissions involved older children, rural populations, acute conditions (asthma, injury, diabetes), and had shorter ICU stays.
  • General ICU patients were less likely to have chronic conditions or receive advanced interventions like ventilation or parenteral nutrition, and had lower mortality.

Conclusions:

  • A notable proportion of pediatric intensive care occurs in general hospital ICUs.
  • Comprehensive analysis of pediatric critical care requires including admissions from both specialist PICUs and general hospital ICUs.
