Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.7K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Infection01:20

Infection

11.4K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Pareto Chart00:52

Pareto Chart

7.6K
A Pareto chart is a bar graph or a combination of both line and bar graphs. The bar lengths represent the individual values or the frequency, while the lines represent the cumulative total values. In this chart, the longest bars are arranged on the left and the shortest bars on the right, which makes it easier to read and interpret the data. It can also be called a Pareto diagram or Pareto analysis.
The Pareto chart is named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who described the Pareto...

Controls in Experiments01:13

Controls in Experiments

14.6K
When conducting an experiment, it is crucial to have control to reduce bias and accurately measure the dependent variables. It also marks the results more reliable. Controls are elements in an experiment that have the same characteristics as the treatment groups but are not affected by the independent variable. By sorting these data into control and experimental conditions, the relationship between the dependent and independent variables can be drawn. A randomized experiment always includes a...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

405
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...

Viral Mutations00:36

Viral Mutations

39.4K
A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, emerged in late 2019.
  • The first official COVID-19 case in Nepal was reported on January 24, 2020.
  • Nepal has reported a total of nine COVID-19 cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical experiences of the first COVID-19 patients in Nepal.
  • To document the initial presentation and management of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Nepalese context.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series.
  • Analysis of clinical data from confirmed COVID-19 cases.
  • Review of epidemiological information.

Main Results:

  • Summary of the nine reported COVID-19 cases in Nepal.
  • Details on patient demographics, symptoms, and outcomes.
  • Observations on the early transmission patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The initial COVID-19 cases in Nepal highlight the need for robust public health surveillance.
  • Understanding these early experiences is crucial for informing Nepal's response to the pandemic.
  • Further research is needed to track the evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 in Nepal.
