In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Primary Active Transport

199.4K
In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. Primary active transport utilizes chemical energy from ATP to drive protein pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane. With energy from ATP, the pumps transport ions against their electrochemical gradients—a direction...

Primary and Secondary Growth in Roots and Shoots

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Primary Production01:06

Primary Production

25.4K
The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, chronic, cholestatic liver disease.
  • Characterized by bile duct inflammation and fibrosis, PSC can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
  • The exact cause of PSC remains unknown, and effective medical therapies are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
  • To cover epidemiology, causes, clinical presentation, and associated conditions.
  • To discuss current surveillance strategies and emerging therapeutic options for PSC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of current knowledge on PSC.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data, disease progression, and treatment outcomes.
  • Examination of diagnostic criteria, surveillance protocols, and investigational therapies.

Main Results:

  • PSC affects a variable proportion of patients, potentially leading to severe liver complications.
  • No universally safe and effective medical therapy has been established despite extensive research.
  • Liver transplantation is a successful treatment for select PSC patients with advanced disease.

Conclusions:

  • PSC is a complex liver disease with significant morbidity and limited treatment options.
  • Ongoing research focuses on understanding PSC's etiology and developing novel therapies.
  • Surveillance and liver transplantation are crucial components of PSC management.
