Causality
The relating of causes to the effects they produce. Causes are termed necessary when they must always precede an effect and sufficient when they initiate or produce an effect. Any of several factors may be associated with the potential disease causation or outcome, including predisposing factors, enabling factors, precipitating factors, reinforcing factors, and risk factors.
Evidence-Based Medicine
An approach of practicing medicine with the goal to improve and evaluate patient care. It requires the judicious integration of best research evidence with the patient's values to make decisions about medical care. This method is to help physicians make proper diagnosis, devise best testing plan, choose best treatment and methods of disease prevention, as well as develop guidelines for large groups of patients with the same disease.

Antineoplastic Agents, Hormonal
Antineoplastic agents that are used to treat hormone-sensitive tumors. Hormone-sensitive tumors may be hormone-dependent, hormone-responsive, or both. A hormone-dependent tumor regresses on removal of the hormonal stimulus, by surgery or pharmacological block. Hormone-responsive tumors may regress when pharmacologic amounts of hormones are administered regardless of whether previous signs of hormone sensitivity were observed. The major hormone-responsive cancers include carcinomas of the breast, prostate, and endometrium; lymphomas; and certain leukemias. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual 1994, p2079)

Purulent pericarditis caused by group a streptococcus. (1/9)
Purulent pericarditis is a rare disease that is most often caused by organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, viridans streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae, and anaerobic bacteria. We present an unusual case of purulent pericarditis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, Lancefield group A streptococcus (GAS), and we provide a review of the literature. (+info)Pericardial tamponade masquerading as septic shock. (2/9)
A 53-year-old man with steroid dependent rheumatoid arthritis presented with fever and serous articular drainage. Oral antibiotics were initially prescribed. Subsequent hemodynamic instability was attributed to septic shock. Further evaluation revealed a pericardial effusion with tamponade. Pericardiocentesis of purulent fluid promptly corrected the hypotension. Proteus mirabilis was later isolated from both the infected joint and the pericardial fluid. This is the first report of combined Proteus mirabilis septic arthritis and purulent pericarditis. It documents the potential for atypical transmission of Gram-negative pathogens, to the pericardium, in patients with a high likelihood of preexisting pericardial disease. In immunocompromised patients, the typical signs and symptoms of pericarditis may be absent, and the clinical presentation of pericardial tamponade may be misinterpreted as one of septic shock. This case underscores the value of a careful physical examination and proper interpretation of ancillary studies. It further illustrates the importance of initial antibiotic selection and the need for definitive treatment of septic arthritis in immunocompromised patients. (+info)Bacterial pericarditis and tamponade due to nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae complicating a case of adult community-acquired pneumonia. (3/9)
We report a case of bacterial pericarditis in an immunologically competent adult female caused by nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae (H influenzae) that was complicated by the acute development of life-threatening pericardial tamponade. H influenzae is a gram-negative coccobacillus, a pathogen most frequently associated with childhood exanthema (otitis media, meningitis) and, less frequently, adult pneumonia. Encapsulated, type b, or typable H influenzae is the strain implicated in childhood infections. On the other hand, nonencapsulated or nontypable H influenzae is the specific strain most often associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive airway disease. Bacterial pericarditis caused by either subtype of H influenzae is exceedingly rare. We have located only 15 previously reported cases of H influenzae pericarditis occurring in adults in the world medical literature, the majority of which date back to the pre-antibiotic era. In 12 of these 15 cases (the only cases in which typing could be accomplished), the encapsulated strain of H influenzae was cultured from the pericardial fluid. Thus, to the best of our knowledge, we are reporting here the first case of bacterial pericarditis caused by nonencapsulated H influenzae in an immunologically competent adult. (+info)Complications after transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus. (4/9)
To evaluate the short- and mid-term results and complications ensuing the transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Between October 1999 and December 2005, 117 patients (34 males and 83 females) underwent attempted percutaneous closure of PDA with a minimum diameter of more than 3 mm. Follow-up evaluations were conducted at 1 day and 1, 3, 6, 12 months after the performance of the transcatheter closure. The median age of patients at catheterization was 11 yr (range, 0.6 to 68 yr), median weight was 30 kg (range, 6 to 74 kg), and the median diameter of PDA was 4 mm (range, 3 to 8 mm). This procedure was conducted successfully in 114 patients (97.4%), using different devices. Major complications were detected in 4 patients (3.4%); significant hemolysis (2), infective endocarditis (1), failed procedure due to embolization (1). Minor complications occurred in 6 patients (5.1%); mild narrowing of the descending aorta (2) and mild encroachment on the origin of the left pulmonary artery (4). Although the transcatheter closure of PDA may be considered to be effective, several complications, including hemolysis, embolization, infective endocarditis, and the narrowing of adjacent vessels may occur in certain cases.

(+info)Cardiovascular infections are infections that affect the heart and blood vessels, leading to potentially serious complications.
Cardiovascular infections refer to infections that affect the heart and blood vessels. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and can lead to a range of complications, including inflammation, damage to heart tissue, and the formation of blood clots. Some common examples of cardiovascular infections include endocarditis, which is an infection of the inner lining of the heart, and pericarditis, which is an infection of the sac surrounding the heart. Other examples include infective endocarditis, which is a type of endocarditis that occurs in people with heart valve problems, and bacterial endocarditis, which is caused by bacteria and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Cardiovascular infections can be diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging studies, and cultures. Treatment typically involves antibiotics or antifungal medications, depending on the type and severity of the infection. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace damaged heart valves or to remove infected tissue.
Arcanobacterium is a genus of bacteria that can cause infections in humans, particularly in the oral cavity and respiratory tract.
Arcanobacterium is a genus of bacteria that belongs to the family Arcanobacteriaceae. These bacteria are gram-positive, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped. They are commonly found in soil, water, and the mouths and throats of humans and animals. In the medical field, Arcanobacterium species are known to cause a variety of infections in humans, including skin infections, respiratory infections, and infections of the central nervous system. Some species of Arcanobacterium have also been associated with foodborne illnesses, particularly in the production of cheese and other dairy products. The diagnosis of Arcanobacterium infections is typically made through culture and identification of the bacteria from clinical samples such as blood, sputum, or skin swabs. Treatment of Arcanobacterium infections typically involves antibiotics, although the specific antibiotic used may depend on the type of infection and the species of Arcanobacterium involved.
Causality in the medical field refers to the relationship between a cause and an effect, where a specific action or event leads to a particular outcome or disease.
In the medical field, causality refers to the relationship between an event or exposure and a health outcome. It is the determination of whether one event or exposure directly causes another event or health outcome, or if there is only an association between the two. Causality can be established through various methods, including observational studies, randomized controlled trials, and biological experiments. In observational studies, researchers collect data on the exposure and health outcome and analyze the relationship between them. In randomized controlled trials, participants are randomly assigned to receive either the exposure or a control group, and the outcomes are compared between the two groups. In biological experiments, researchers manipulate the exposure in a controlled environment and observe the effects on the health outcome. In the medical field, establishing causality is important for making informed decisions about treatment and prevention. For example, if a study shows a strong association between smoking and lung cancer, it does not necessarily mean that smoking causes lung cancer. However, if a randomized controlled trial shows that smokers who quit smoking have a significantly lower risk of developing lung cancer, it can be concluded that smoking causes lung cancer.
The amino acid sequence is the linear order of amino acids in a protein molecule.
In the medical field, an amino acid sequence refers to the linear order of amino acids in a protein molecule. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, and the specific sequence of these amino acids determines the protein's structure and function. The amino acid sequence is determined by the genetic code, which is a set of rules that specifies how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is translated into the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each amino acid is represented by a three-letter code, and the sequence of these codes is the amino acid sequence of the protein. The amino acid sequence is important because it determines the protein's three-dimensional structure, which in turn determines its function. Small changes in the amino acid sequence can have significant effects on the protein's structure and function, and this can lead to diseases or disorders. For example, mutations in the amino acid sequence of a protein involved in blood clotting can lead to bleeding disorders.
Nitriles are a class of organic compounds containing a cyano (-CN) group, which can be used as medications or as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.
In the medical field, nitriles are a type of organic compound that contain a cyano (-CN) group. They are often used as solvents, plasticizers, and as intermediates in the synthesis of other chemicals. One common use of nitriles in medicine is as a component of certain types of rubber gloves. Nitrile gloves are often used in healthcare settings because they are resistant to many types of chemicals and are less likely to cause allergic reactions than latex gloves. Nitriles are also used in the production of certain medications, such as nitrates, which are used to treat heart disease. Nitrates work by relaxing the blood vessels, which can help to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. In addition, nitriles are sometimes used as a preservative in medical devices, such as catheters and syringes, to prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
Triazoles are a class of synthetic antifungal and antiprotozoal drugs that inhibit the enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, disrupting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cells.
Triazoles are a class of synthetic organic compounds that contain a three-membered ring of nitrogen atoms. They are widely used in the medical field as antifungal agents, particularly for the treatment of invasive fungal infections such as candidiasis, aspergillosis, and cryptococcosis. The most commonly used triazole antifungal agents are fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole. These drugs work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, which leads to the disruption of the membrane's integrity and ultimately the death of the fungal cell. Triazoles are also used in other medical applications, such as in the treatment of certain types of cancer, as well as in the development of new drugs for the treatment of other diseases.
Aromatase inhibitors are a class of drugs used in the medical field to block the enzyme aromatase, which is involved in the production of estrogen, primarily in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.
Aromatase inhibitors are a class of drugs that are used to treat certain types of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. These drugs work by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens (male hormones) into estrogens (female hormones). By inhibiting aromatase, these drugs can reduce the amount of estrogen in the body, which can slow the growth of breast cancer cells that are sensitive to estrogen. Aromatase inhibitors are typically used as a first-line treatment for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women who cannot take tamoxifen, or whose cancer has progressed while taking tamoxifen. They are also sometimes used as a second-line treatment for women whose cancer has progressed while taking other types of hormonal therapy. There are several different types of aromatase inhibitors, including anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole. These drugs are usually taken orally and are generally well-tolerated, although they can cause side effects such as hot flashes, joint pain, and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Antineoplastic agents, hormonal are drugs that target and inhibit the growth of cancer cells by interfering with hormonal signaling pathways.
Antineoplastic agents, hormonal are a class of drugs that are used to treat cancer by targeting hormones that regulate cell growth and division. These drugs work by either blocking the production or action of hormones that promote cancer cell growth, or by stimulating the production of hormones that inhibit cancer cell growth. Examples of hormonal antineoplastic agents include tamoxifen, which is used to treat breast cancer, and leuprolide, which is used to treat prostate cancer. These drugs are often used in combination with other antineoplastic agents, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, to increase their effectiveness. It is important to note that hormonal antineoplastic agents are not effective for all types of cancer, and they may have side effects that can be serious or life-threatening. It is important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits of these drugs with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
Tamoxifen is a medication used to treat breast cancer by blocking the effects of estrogen in the body.
Tamoxifen is a medication that is primarily used to treat breast cancer in women. It works by blocking the effects of estrogen, a hormone that can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen is often used as part of a combination therapy, along with other medications or surgery, to treat breast cancer. It can also be used to prevent breast cancer in women who are at high risk of developing the disease, such as those who have a family history of breast cancer or who have certain genetic mutations that increase their risk. Tamoxifen is usually taken orally in the form of tablets, and the dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual patient's needs and the type and stage of their breast cancer.
Breast neoplasms are abnormal growths or tumors in the breast tissue, which can be benign or malignant.
Breast neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors in the breast tissue. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign breast neoplasms are usually not life-threatening, but they can cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Malignant breast neoplasms, on the other hand, can spread to other parts of the body and are considered a serious health threat. Some common types of breast neoplasms include fibroadenomas, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma, and invasive lobular carcinoma.
