Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease01:30

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.0K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

2.3K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

508
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

1.1K
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

896
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease01:27

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease

464
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Cardiology
  • Equine Internal Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Pathology

Background:

  • Degenerative myxomatous disease is a prevalent condition in aging horses.
  • Equine aortic regurgitation is associated with specific poor prognostic indicators like ventricular ectopy and increased pulse pressure.
  • Valvular prolapse is an understudied functional abnormality impacting valvular regurgitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the role of valvular prolapse in the development of valvular regurgitation in horses.
  • To outline the clinical presentation and prognosis of various equine valvular diseases.
  • To emphasize the importance of comprehensive monitoring strategies for horses with valvular disease.

Main Methods:

  • Echocardiographic diagnosis of valvular abnormalities, including prolapse.
  • Clinical assessment of prognostic indicators for equine aortic regurgitation.
  • Monitoring of clinical, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic parameters.

Main Results:

  • Identified ventricular ectopy, increased pulse pressure, and hyperkinetic pulses as poor prognostic indicators for equine aortic regurgitation.
  • Highlighted the limited knowledge regarding the functional impact of valvular prolapse.
  • Described infective endocarditis as a severe condition with systemic signs and a poor prognosis.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of equine valvular disease necessitates thorough assessment of severity and consistent monitoring.
  • Further research into valvular prolapse is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of valvular regurgitation.
  • Prompt and aggressive therapy is indicated for conditions like infective endocarditis to improve patient outcomes.
