Mashup Score: 1Prevention Strategies - 11 month(s) ago
The natural history of a disease classifies into five stages: underlying, susceptible, subclinical, clinical, and recovery/disability/death. Corresponding preventive health measures have been grouped into similar stages to target the prevention of these stages of a disease. These preventive stages are primordial prevention, primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention….

Mashup Score: 3Genetics, X-Linked Inheritance - 11 month(s) ago
The X chromosome contains 867 identified genes; most of these genes are responsible for the development of tissues like bone, neural, blood, hepatic, renal, retina, ears, ear, cardiac, skin, and teeth. There are at least 533 disorders due to the involvement of the genes on the X chromosome.[1] A ‘trait’ or ‘disorder’ determined by a gene on the X chromosome demonstrates X-linked inheritance.

Mashup Score: 2Cyanide Toxicity - 12 month(s) ago
Cyanide is a rapidly acting substance that is traditionally known as a poison. Hydrogen cyanide was first isolated from Prussian blue dye in 1786, and cyanide first extracted from almonds around 1800. Cyanide can exist as a gas, hydrogen cyanide, a salt, potassium cyanide. Natural substances in some foods such as lima beans, almonds can release cyanide. Cyanide is also found in manufacturing and…

This species - Harpaphe haydeniana - lives all along the West Coast. It is commonly known as the yellow-spotted millipede, almond-scented millipede or cyanide millipede! I don’t recommend smelling it, especially since 40% of humans can’t smell cyanide! https://t.co/HVjZVB8tA9 https://t.co/PDJTGbfOPc

Mashup Score: 1Hyperviscosity Syndrome - 12 month(s) ago
Hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS) is an oncologic emergency that classically presents with the triad of neurological deficits, visual changes, and mucosal bleeding. Elevated blood viscosity is the result of either red blood cell shape deformity or a pathological increase in serum proteins, red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), or platelets. The most common cause of HVS is Waldenstrom…

Mashup Score: 24Perioperative Anticoagulation Management - 1 year(s) ago
The management of patients on anticoagulation and anti-aggregation therapy is a daily challenge for physicians. The interruption of therapy can increase the risk of thrombotic events during and after surgery. However, the non-interruption of these medications can heighten the risk of bleeding during surgery and trigger a sequence of undesirable outcomes ranging from minor to uncontrolled bleeding.
