Resumen
La medicina a menudo pasa por alto las experiencias vividas, o la biografía, que impactan significativamente la salud. La integración de factores biográficos es crucial para una comprensión completa del desarrollo y el riesgo de enfermedades.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología integradora
- Determinantes sociales de la salud
- Medicina personalizada
Sus antecedentes:
- La patogénesis de las enfermedades sigue siendo heterogénea a pesar de los avances en genómica e imagenología.
- La investigación médica actual se centra principalmente en datos biológicos, descuidando el impacto de las experiencias vividas.
- Los factores biográficos como el trauma y las inequidades sociales alteran demostrablemente los sistemas fisiológicos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Destacar la necesidad de integrar datos biográficos en la investigación médica.
- Proponer un marco para comprender cómo las experiencias vividas influyen en los sistemas biológicos.
- Explicar el riesgo y la patogénesis de las enfermedades a través de una lente biográfica.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis conceptual de los paradigmas de investigación médica existentes.
- Analogía con la materia oscura en física para explicar variables no medidas.
- Énfasis en el análisis mecanicista a nivel del paciente.
Principales resultados:
- Los factores biográficos representan un componente significativo y no medido de la patogénesis de las enfermedades.
- Estos factores inducen cambios medibles en la regulación inmunológica, neural y endocrina.
- Ignorar la biografía conduce a una comprensión incompleta de la heterogeneidad de las enfermedades.
Conclusiones:
- La integración de la biografía en la biología es esencial para el avance de la ciencia médica.
- Comprender la vía de la biografía a la biología es clave para explicar el riesgo de enfermedades.
- Se requiere un enfoque holístico para el análisis mecanicista de enfermedades a nivel del paciente.

Classifying Matter by State
105.0K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.

What is Matter?
103.9K
The substance of the universe—from a grain of sand to a star—is called matter. Scientists define matter as anything that occupies space and has mass. An object’s mass and its weight are related concepts, but not quite the same. An object’s mass is the amount of matter contained in the object and is the same whether that object is on Earth or in the zero-gravity environment of outer space. An object’s weight, on the other hand, is its mass as affected by the pull of...

The Atomic Theory of Matter
130.7K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

States of Matter

Solids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter commonly found on Earth. A solid is rigid and possesses a definite shape. A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container, except it forms a flat or slightly curved upper surface when acted upon by gravity. Both liquid and solid samples have volumes nearly independent of pressure. A gas takes both the shape and volume of its container.
