Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.2K
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...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

4.6K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract....

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

594
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

10.5K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

1.4K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) encompasses conditions like CRS without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP) and CRS with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).
  • Autoimmune diseases involve the immune system mistakenly attacking the body's own tissues.
  • Understanding the interplay between autoimmune conditions and CRS is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between various autoimmune diseases and the development of CRSsNP and CRSwNP.
  • To determine if autoimmune diseases increase the likelihood of requiring endoscopic sinus surgery for CRS.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter retrospective study utilized the TriNetX database, analyzing data from 106 US healthcare organizations.
  • Adult patients (over 18) with diagnosed autoimmune diseases were compared to a control group without autoimmune diseases.
  • Outcomes assessed included incidence of CRSsNP, CRSwNP, and need for endoscopic sinus surgery.

Main Results:

  • Patients with certain autoimmune diseases exhibited higher rates of both CRSsNP and CRSwNP.
  • Specific autoimmune diseases like Graves' disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus were linked to increased surgery rates in CRSsNP patients.
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis, Hashimoto's disease, and ulcerative colitis were associated with higher surgery rates in CRSwNP patients.

Conclusions:

  • A significant association exists between a range of autoimmune diseases and the occurrence of CRSsNP and CRSwNP.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis and Graves' disease were identified as autoimmune conditions strongly correlated with a higher need for sinus surgery.
