Introduction to force

Introduction to force

Consider water flowing from a nozzle to a turbine vane. As the water hits the turbine vane, it exerts a force that causes it to move along the flow of direction. Force is an impact that changes an object's motion, shape, or orientation. Forces can be caused by physical contact, such as a push or pull, or through non-contact interactions, such as magnetic or gravitational forces. Force is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction, and is measured in newtons (N) in the SI unit...

Newton's First Law: Introduction

Newton's First Law: Introduction

Motion draws our attention. Motion itself can be beautiful, causing us to marvel at the forces needed to create spectacular sights, such as that of a dolphin jumping out of the water, the flight of a bird, or the orbit of a satellite. The study of motion is kinematics, but kinematics only describes the way objects move—their velocity and acceleration. Dynamics considers the forces that affect the motion of moving objects and systems. Newton's laws of motion are the foundation of...

An Introduction to Mechanics

An Introduction to Mechanics

Humans have been making ships, shelters, pyramids, weapons, agricultural equipment, and many more items without recording the process or theory behind them for centuries. It would be challenging to document the evolution of mechanics from its origin to the present.
According to records, the history of mechanics starts with Aristotle (384–322 BC). He related mechanics to physical theory, aiming for a universal synthesis.
Newton defined mechanics as the branch of physical science that...

Introduction to Statistics

Introduction to Statistics

The science of statistics involves collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. The method of collecting, organizing, and summarizing data is called descriptive statistics. The systematic method of drawing inferences from the sample data and predicting unknown characteristics of a population is called inferential statistics.
In statistics, the collection of individuals or objects under study is called population. The idea of sampling is to select a portion of the larger population...

Introduction to Actin

Introduction to Actin

Actin is a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein found abundantly in eukaryotic cells. It constitutes 10% weight of the total cellular protein in muscle cells, while in non-muscle cells, it is lower and makes up around 1–5 percent of the total cell protein. Actin found in the unicellular amoebae and complex multicellular animals is around 80% similar, demonstrating their conservation over a billion years of evolution. Actin coding genes are conserved within species and across...

Introduction to Scalars

Introduction to Scalars

Many familiar physical quantities can be specified completely by giving a single number and the appropriate unit. For example, "a class period lasts 50 min," or "the gas tank in my car holds 65 L," or "the distance between the two posts is 100 m." A physical quantity that can be specified completely in this manner is called a scalar quantity. The word "scalar" is a synonym for "number." Time, mass, distance, length, volume,...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Immunology
Epidemiology

Background:

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing skin condition characterized by itching and redness.
First termed in 1933, AD is associated with respiratory atopy like asthma and allergic rhinitis.
AD is a global health issue with over 20% lifetime prevalence in affluent nations, influenced by climate, urbanization, and lifestyle.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the complexities of atopic dermatitis etiology and management.
To provide healthcare providers with strategies for improving patient care and satisfaction.
To highlight current trends and emerging treatment approaches for AD.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of 69 cross-sectional and cohort studies on AD prevalence.
Analysis of factors influencing AD prevalence, including climate, urbanization, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status.
Review of current AD management strategies, including non-pharmacologic modalities and prescription medications.

Main Results:

AD is a worldwide phenomenon with significant prevalence in developed countries.
Disease progression is driven by a combination of extrinsic environmental, intrinsic immune, and genetic factors.
Current AD management offers symptomatic control, not a cure, posing burdens on healthcare and patients.

Conclusions:

Understanding AD is complex due to its multifactorial etiology.
Barriers to effective AD treatment include time, cost, and medication side effects.
There is a need for enhanced patient care and novel treatment approaches for atopic dermatitis.
