Q

lentigo = ?

A

hyperplasia of melanocytes.
-restricted to the cell layer directly above the basement membrane of the epidermis where melanocytes normally reside. This is in contrast to the “nests” of multi-layer melanocytes found in moles (melanocytic nevi). Because of this characteristic feature, the adjective “lentiginous” is used to describe other skin lesions that similarly proliferate linearly within the basal cell layer.

Q

lentigo vs freckle

A

Lentigines are distinguished from freckles (ephelis) based on the proliferation of melanocytes. Freckles have a relatively normal number of melanocytes but an increased amount of melanin. A lentigo has an increased number of melanocytes.

79
Q

case report vs case series

-whats the difference?

A

case report: n = 1.
case series: n > 1.
*thats the only difference.

80
Q

case series

-what is it?

A

case report on bunch of pts - you look and see whats common amongst all your pts that have that certain disease.

81
Q

case series

-what is it?

A

case report on bunch of pts - you look and see whats common amongst all your pts that have that certain disease.
-you make a list of criterion = what you see in common w/every pt that has the disease.

82
Q

case series

-limitation?

A

all we have are case reports of diseases people - we can’t compare them to healthy people.

83
Q

case series

-limitation?

A

all we have are case reports of diseases people - we can’t compare them to healthy people.
*there is NO control group!

84
Q

after case series, whats the next step?

A

cross-sectional study aka a prevalence study
-see how many people have the disease - see how many fit the criteria for the disease that you determined using the case series.

85
Q

Can cross-sectional study prove causality?

A

No.

  • you can prove that A and B are there, but not which came first.
  • its a snapshot.
86
Q

Step following cross-sectional study:

  • we want to answer what causes/facilitate the disease.
  • which study do we use?
A

case-control study.

-disease vs no-disease retrospective study.

87
Q

Step following cross-sectional study:

  • we want to answer what causes/facilitate the disease.
  • which study do we use?
A

case-control study.

-disease vs no-disease retrospective study. Look back in time for the presence of some risk factor.

88
Q

Step following cross-sectional study:

  • we want to answer what causes/facilitate the disease.
  • which study do we use?
A

case-control study.

-disease vs no-disease retrospective study. Look back in time for the presence of some risk factor.

89
Q

case-control study

-define:

A

-disease vs no-disease retrospective study. Look back in time for the presence of some risk factor.

90
Q

case-control study

-define:

A
  • disease vs no-disease retrospective study. Look back in time for the presence of some risk factor.
  • looking for presence/absence of risk factors in their past.
91
Q

what comes after a case-control study?

A

cohort study aka confirmational study.

92
Q

cohort study

-describe it:

A

groups followed over time - prospective.

93
Q

cohort study

-describe it:

A

groups followed over time - prospective.

  • 2 groups are risk-factor vs no risk factor. Follow them and see what their relative risk of developing the disease is.
  • basically the exact opposite of case-control.
94
Q

case-control vs cohort study

-difference:

A
  • case-control: get ppl w/disease & w/o disease - look back in their past and find presence/absence of risk factor. Retrospective.
  • cohort study: Get ppl w/risk factor & w/o risk factor. Follow them and figure out relative risk of getting the disease.
  • they’re basically the exact opposite.
95
Q

cohort study

-describe it:

A

groups followed over time - prospective.

  • 2 groups are risk-factor vs no risk factor. Follow them and see what their relative risk of developing the disease is.
  • basically the exact opposite of case-control.

*cohort study gives you incidence rate.

96
Q

sequence starting from case report

A

case report => case series => cross sectional study => case-control study => cohort study.

97
Q

Cohort:

  • relative risk: divide
  • attributable risk: ______
98
Q

incidence rate in exposed / incidence rate in unexposed

  • what equation is this for?
  • used in what type of study?
A

relative risk

-cohort study.

99
Q

NNT and NNH equations:

A
  • NNT = 1/(incidence in untreat - incidence in treated)

- NNH = 1/(incidence in exposed - incidence in unexposed)

100
Q

Odds ratio

  • equation?
  • how do you know which one is A cell and which one is D cell?
A

AD/BC

  • A cell = risk factor + disease.
  • D cell = diagnoal from A cell.
  • thats all you need to know - you dont need to differentiate btwn B and C bc you will multiply them.
101
Q

Efficacy and side effects

-determined in which phase of clinical trial?
