Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.8K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.4K
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,...

Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

2.5K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.0K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.7K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Contingency Table01:29

Contingency Table

3.4K
A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Coronaviruses cause a spectrum of respiratory illnesses, with novel strains emerging globally.
  • The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in late 2019 led to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between occupational categories and COVID-19 infection rates.
  • To identify high-risk occupations for coronavirus infection within a specific healthcare setting.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional, descriptive study design was employed.
  • Data collected via questionnaires included demographics, clinical details, lifestyle factors, and occupational information from 774 patients at Ardabil Imam Khomeini Hospital.
  • Random sampling ensured participant selection.

Main Results:

  • The average patient age was 56.70 years (SD=18.20).
  • Females constituted 46.5% and males 53.5% of the study cohort.
  • Housewives represented the largest occupational group (41%), followed by farmers/ranchers (7.4%).

Conclusions:

  • Occupational risk factors for coronavirus infection require further investigation.
  • Identifying specific occupations with elevated COVID-19 risk is crucial for implementing targeted public health interventions.
  • Understanding the occupational distribution of COVID-19 cases can inform prevention strategies for vulnerable worker groups.
