Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.4K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Association Areas of the Cortex01:21

Association Areas of the Cortex

9.0K
Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

1.3K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Somatosensory, Motor, and Association Cortex

2.4K
The somatosensory cortex in the parietal lobes is crucial for interpreting sensory data such as touch, temperature, and proprioception. The somatosensory cortex, situated in the parietal lobes, plays a vital role in interpreting sensory information like touch, temperature, and proprioception—awareness of body position. This specialized brain region features an organized structure wherein neurons at the top primarily process sensations originating from the lower body. In contrast, those at...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Postoperative cough is a common concern after head and neck surgery.
  • The specific impact of thyroidectomy on self-reported cough requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the association between thyroidectomy and self-reported postoperative cough.
  • To identify factors influencing cough symptoms after thyroidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study comparing patients undergoing thyroidectomy (experimental group, n=300) with those undergoing other head and neck operations (control group, n=103).
  • The Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) was administered preoperatively and 2 weeks postoperatively.
  • Statistical analyses included t-tests, ANOVA, and multifactor analysis of variance.

Main Results:

  • Patients in the thyroidectomy group reported significantly worse overall cough scores (p=0.014) and poorer physical domain scores (p<0.001) on the LCQ.
  • Thyroidectomy patients reported increased chest/stomach pain, phlegm, sleep disturbances, and frustration related to coughing.
  • Female sex was significantly associated with worse postoperative cough scores.

Conclusions:

  • Thyroidectomy is associated with an increased incidence and severity of postoperative cough.
  • Female patients appear to be more susceptible to cough and related symptoms following thyroidectomy.
