Chemical compound and disease context of Epidemiology

 

Biological context of Epidemiology

  • We studied the epidemiology of human parvovirus B19 infection in 308 children with homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease and 239 controls with a normal haemoglobin (AA) genotype followed from birth in a cohort study [21].
  • INTERPRETATION: The fact that all preschool wheezing disorders increased (including viral wheeze) makes it probable that factors unrelated to atopy are implicated in the changing epidemiology of wheeze in childhood [22].
  • Huntington disease: genetics and epidemiology [23].
  • In a Japanese cohort, AG-containing RANTES haplotype pairs were associated with a delay in disease progression; however, we now show that their contribution to HIV-1 pathogenesis and epidemiology in other parts of the world is negligible because the AG haplotype is infrequent in non-Far East Asians [24].
  • METHODS: Using the population-based data resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project, we assembled an incidence cohort of all Rochester, Minnesota residents ages >or=18 years who first fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology 1987 criteria for RA between January 1, 1955 and January 1, 1995 [25].
 

Anatomical context of Epidemiology

 

Associations of Epidemiology with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Epidemiology

  • Recent investigations into the genetic epidemiology of BRCA1 have revealed an unexpectedly high prevalence of mutations amongst Ashkenazi Jews [36].
  • The reported data highlight the complexity of the genetic epidemiology of GJB2-linked deafness, further enlarging the spectrum of situations in which GJB2 mutation analysis should be performed [37].
  • Genetic variants such as CLN6 might therefore cause a significant portion of childhood NCL in the Portuguese population.The relative frequency of classical childhood forms of NCL in the Portuguese population is reported and contributes to the knowledge of genetic epidemiology of these world-widely distributed disorders [38].
  • A population-based genetic epidemiology study that involves molecular autopsies of individuals who die of unexplained drowning is needed to determine the prevalence and spectrum of KCNQ1 and now RyR2 mutations as potential pathogenic mechanisms for drowning [39].
  • Current understanding of the epidemiology and clinical implications of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations for ovarian cancer [40].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Epidemiology

  • INTRODUCTION: To investigate whether the El Niño phenomenon and ambient temperature had an effect on the epidemiology of childhood diarrhoea, we analysed data on daily number of admissions of children with diarrhoea to the Oral Rehydration Unit of the Instituto de Salud del Niño in Lima, Peru, between January, 1993, and November, 1998 [41].
  • Evidence from research in five areas (epidemiology, experimental pathology, clinical medicine, clinical genetics, and clinical trials) provides the basis for current strategies for lowering cholesterol levels [42].
  • A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed during the latter part of pregnancy or during a routine epidemiology survey in 15-39-year-old Pima Indian women with no history of abnormal glucose tolerance [43].
  • To elucidate the epidemiology of the syndrome, a case-control study was performed, comparing 62 of the case patients who had been reported to the spontaneous reporting system to 185 suprofen-exposed control subjects who did not have the syndrome [44].
  • Analysis of neurological disease in four dimensions: insight from ALS-PDC epidemiology and animal models [45].
