Poisson's Ratio01:23

Poisson's Ratio

1.4K
Poisson's ratio is a material property that indicates their stress response. It explains the connection between the elongation or compression a material undergoes in the direction of an applied force and the contraction or expansion it experiences perpendicular to that force. When a slender bar is loaded axially, it stretches in the direction of the force and contracts laterally. Poisson's ratio is the negative ratio of this lateral contraction to the axial elongation. The negative sign...

Odds Ratio01:09

Odds Ratio

1.9K
The odds ratio (OR) is a statistical measure used extensively in epidemiology and research to quantify the strength of association between exposure and outcome across different groups. Unlike relative risk, which compares the probabilities of an event occurring, the odds ratio compares the odds of an event occurring in the exposed group to the odds of it occurring in the unexposed group. The odds, in this context, are calculated as the probability of the event happening divided by the...

Hazard Ratio01:12

Hazard Ratio

632
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.
For example, in a clinical trial...

Normal Distribution01:11

Normal Distribution

17.4K
The normal, a continuous distribution, is the most important of all the distributions. Its graph is a bell-shaped symmetrical curve, which is observed in almost all disciplines. Some of these include psychology, business, economics, the sciences, nursing, and, of course, mathematics. Some instructors may use the normal distribution to help determine students’ grades. Most IQ scores are normally distributed. Often real-estate prices fit a normal distribution. The normal distribution is...

Normal Stress01:19

Normal Stress

1.5K
Normal stress is a type of stress that occurs when forces act perpendicular, or normal, to a material's cross-sectional area. This stress often arises in structures when subjected to axial loading, which is the application of force along the axis of an object. A practical example of this can be found in bridge truss members.
When a rod is under axial loading, the internal forces and corresponding stress are normal to the plane of the section, so it is termed normal stress. It's important to...

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes02:45

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

9.9K
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.  
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female...

This summary is machine-generated.

This study analyzed the optic disc and cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio in 122 newborns. Findings suggest specific C/D ratios may indicate newborn glaucoma, aiding early diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neonatal Research
  • Pediatric Optic Nerve Studies

Context:

  • The optic disc and cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio are critical indicators of optic nerve health.
  • Establishing normative data for these parameters in newborns is essential for identifying potential pathologies like glaucoma.
  • Previous research has not fully characterized the C/D ratio distribution and its correlation with gestational factors in neonates.

Purpose:

  • To characterize the distribution and variability of the optic disc and cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio in a cohort of 122 newborns.
  • To investigate potential correlations between C/D ratio parameters and neonatal anthropometric data (gestational length, birth weight, height).
  • To propose criteria for identifying potential newborn glaucoma based on C/D ratio measurements.

Summary:

  • The study examined the optic disc and C/D ratio in 122 newborns, revealing a positive skewness and leptokurtosis in C/D ratio distribution.
  • Key findings include wide variability, lower mean/median values, and no correlation with gestational length or infant size.
  • The presence of more greyish glial tissue on the optic disc was noted, with physiological optic cup scope linked to central retinal vessel visibility.

Impact:

  • The findings propose that a C/D ratio greater than 0.3 or a binocular difference exceeding 0.2 could serve as diagnostic criteria for newborn glaucoma.
  • This research contributes to establishing objective parameters for early detection of congenital glaucoma in neonates.
  • Understanding the normative C/D ratio in newborns facilitates timely intervention and management of potentially sight-threatening conditions.
