It occurs most commonly in the long bones, although there is variability in location between age groups. The etiology of osteosarcoma is not well understood; it occurs at increased rates in individuals with Paget disease of bone, after therapeutic radiation, an...

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia represents a broad category of lung disorders characterized by scarring or fibrosis of the lung accompanied by varying degrees of inflammation. A number of important hypotheses based on clinical observations have substantially contributed to our understanding of the pathogenesis of the most insidious and devastating of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, id...
متن کاملUsing Causal Diagrams to Understand Common Problems in Social Epidemiology
Epidemiologists typically seek to answer causal questions using statistical data: we observe a statistical association between poverty and early mortality and seek to determine whether poverty causes early death. An essential component of epidemiologic training is therefore learning what statistical relations imply, or do not imply, about causal relations. This is why the cliché “correlation do...

1512 normal enzyme. Then, they replaced the oxygen in question with a sulfur atom. The reaction didn’t work as well because, by the rules of chemistry, sulfur doesn’t like to bind to magnesium. But sulfur does like manganese and cadmium ions. So they replaced the magnesium with one of these other metal ions and measured the reaction. The researchers saw that these other metal ions restored (or ...
متن کاملEtiology and Epidemiology
Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. It predominantly occurs in the second decade of life in young females, possibly because of the vascular effects of fe...
