Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.5K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

4.4K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

329
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Dysrhythmias V: Evaluating Dysrhythmias

383
Dysrhythmias, also known as arrhythmias, are disturbances in the heart's rhythm that range from benign to life-threatening. A thorough evaluation is crucial for appropriate management and involves a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests.Medical HistorySymptoms: Collect detailed information on palpitations, dizziness, syncope, chest pain, and fatigue. Note their onset, frequency, and triggers.Previous Cardiac Issues: Document any history of heart...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study defines new metrics, D-index and Keratoconus Progression Index (KPI), to accurately detect keratoconus progression. These indices offer improved sensitivity and specificity for identifying corneal changes in keratoconus patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia.
  • Accurate detection of keratoconus progression is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Existing methods for evaluating keratoconus progression have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish reliable variables for assessing keratoconus progression.
  • To determine specific cut-off values for these variables.
  • To develop a novel index for quantifying keratoconus progression.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 265 eyes diagnosed with keratoconus.
  • Utilized Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam) with measurements 1 year apart.
  • Employed logistic regression to define a Keratoconus Progression Index (KPI) and ROC analysis for cut-off values.

Main Results:

  • Individual keratoconus detection variables showed weak correlations.
  • The D-index and KPI demonstrated high Youden Index values (0.606 and 0.747, respectively).
  • KPI achieved 84.7% sensitivity and 90% specificity with a cut-off of -0.78196.

Conclusions:

  • Keratoconus progression assessment requires parameters integrating multiple corneal changes.
  • The D-index and KPI are proposed as effective tools for detecting keratoconus progression.
  • These indices offer improved diagnostic accuracy compared to individual parameters.
