Bias and validity
This document discusses bias and validity in clinical research. It defines clinical epidemiology as the study of health-related states and events in populations to control health problems. It describes how epidemiologic studies compare outcomes like disease rates between exposed and unexposed groups. Validity is important, with internal validity indicating good construct free from bias/errors, and external validity showing generalizability. Bias and confounding can threaten validity and lead to erroneous associations if not avoided or controlled for.
Cross sectional study-dr.wah
This document discusses cross-sectional studies, which measure exposure and health outcomes at the same point in time. It notes that cross-sectional studies can be descriptive, providing prevalence rates, or analytic, examining associations between exposures and outcomes. While able to generate hypotheses, cross-sectional studies cannot determine causation due to their inability to assess temporal relationships. The document also briefly touches on case reports and case series, which lack control groups for formally assessing relationships.
Cohort study
This document discusses cohort studies, including:
1. A cohort study examines a group of individuals who share a common characteristic or experience to identify risk factors for outcomes like diseases.
2. Cohort studies can be prospective, following groups forward over time, or retrospective, looking back at medical records.
3. Key aspects of cohort studies include selecting study subjects, obtaining exposure and outcome data, choosing comparison groups, and following up with participants over time.
4. Cohort studies provide information on incidence rates and relative risks but can be resource-intensive and sensitive to losses during follow-up. The Framingham Heart Study is an ongoing prospective cohort study examining heart disease risk factors.
06 cohort studies
This document describes a cohort study conducted by the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. The ARIC study recruited over 16,000 participants aged 45-64 from four US communities and followed them prospectively to investigate risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Participants underwent home interviews and clinical exams at baseline and follow-up to collect data on health behaviors and biomarkers. The study assessed the development of cardiovascular outcomes over time and the association with risk factors like hypertension, diabetes and smoking.
cohort study
This document describes the key features and types of cohort studies. Cohort studies identify a group of individuals and follow them over time to determine outcomes. Prospective cohort studies follow individuals from the present into the future, while retrospective cohort studies look back in time. Cohort studies allow calculation of incidence rates and relative risks to study relationships between exposures and diseases.

- Requirements: Clear case definition, appropriate controls matched to cases
Cohort study:
- Advantages: Directly measures risk, establishes temporal sequence
- Disadvantages: Expensive, long follow up needed
Chapter seven. epidemiologic study designs
a presentation on Epidemiological study designs which briefly discusses about main epidemiological study designs and their classifications
Cross sectional study
This document describes different types of epidemiological study designs, including observational studies like cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, and experimental studies like randomized controlled trials. It provides details on descriptive versus analytical epidemiology and cross-sectional studies specifically. Cross-sectional studies measure prevalence at a single point in time by surveying exposures and disease status simultaneously in a population cross-section. They are useful for assessing disease burden, comparing prevalence between populations, and examining trends over time.
CASE STUDY OF cohort studY
The Framingham Heart Study is a long-running cardiovascular cohort study that began in 1948 with over 5,000 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts. It found that smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and other factors increase risk of cardiovascular disease. The Nurses' Health Study began in 1976 and includes over 120,000 female nurses who complete biennial questionnaires. It has investigated links between oral contraceptives, diet, lifestyle and disease risks like breast cancer. A second Nurses' Health Study began in 1989 with younger nurses to further study these relationships.
Epidemiological Studies
This document provides an introduction to epidemiological studies. It defines epidemiology as the study of disease distributions in populations and factors that influence distribution. It describes the hierarchy of evidence in epidemiology, including descriptive and analytical studies. Descriptive studies like case reports and prevalence surveys describe disease patterns, while analytical studies test hypotheses. The main analytical study designs are cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and prospective cohort studies. Each design differs in sampling, time orientation, and ability to infer causality. Cross-sectional studies measure prevalence, case-control studies infer causality retrospectively, and prospective cohort studies follow exposed groups over time to measure incidence.
Cohort study
In this presentation i tried to explain in detail about cohort studies, their types, how to conduct them, their outcomes, and how to calculate sample size of these studies.
Multicenter trial
This document discusses multicentric clinical trials. It begins by defining clinical trials and introducing that a multicenter trial is conducted across multiple medical centers. Key points are that multicenter trials require standardization of procedures, uniformity, high data quality, and collaboration across sites. The document distinguishes between multi-site and multicentric studies, noting that in multicentric studies investigators at sites are co-investigators in planning and responsible for results, while in multi-site studies sites merely carry out tasks. Coordination in multicenter studies involves centralized activities like protocol development and data management to standardize procedures. Advantages include larger sample sizes and evaluating efficacy across populations. The document concludes by summarizing a phase II multicenter trial of sunit
Case control studies
Case control studies are retrospective studies that identify risk factors for diseases like cancer. They compare exposed and unexposed groups among people who are diseased (cases) and not diseased (controls). Cases and controls are matched based on factors like age and gender to make the groups comparable. Exposure is then measured and odds ratios are calculated to determine if cases were more likely to be exposed compared to controls. While quick and cost effective, case control studies are subject to biases due to recall and temporality issues.
Cross sectional study
This document discusses cross-sectional studies. It defines a cross-sectional study as an observational study that measures exposure and health outcomes in a population at a single point in time, providing a "snapshot" of prevalence. It describes key characteristics, including simultaneously collecting exposure and outcome data, estimating prevalence rather than incidence, and inability to determine temporal relationships between variables. The document outlines advantages as being quick and inexpensive but also limitations such as inability to establish causation.
5. cohort studies
A cohort study follows groups of individuals (the cohorts) over time to examine how exposures affect outcomes. Key features include:
1. Cohorts are identified prior to the outcome and followed prospectively to determine disease frequency.
2. Cohort studies directly estimate relative risks by comparing disease incidence between exposed and unexposed groups.
3. They provide data on disease progression, risk factors, and natural history that can inform prevention strategies by identifying modifiable risk exposures.
From association to causation
This document discusses approaches for studying disease etiology, including ecological studies, case control studies, and cohort studies. It outlines different types of associations and causal relationships that can be observed between exposures and diseases. The document then describes guidelines for judging whether an observed association is causal, including temporal relationship, strength of association, dose-response relationship, replication of findings, biological plausibility, consideration of alternative explanations, cessation of exposure, consistency with other knowledge, and specificity of association.
3. Cross sectional
This document discusses cross-sectional study designs for epidemiological research. A cross-sectional study involves identifying a population at a single point in time and collecting data on exposures and outcomes without influencing either. Key advantages are allowing estimates of disease prevalence and descriptions of population characteristics. Limitations include inability to determine causality and potential for confounding biases. The document outlines appropriate dietary assessment tools, study design considerations, and analytical methods for cross-sectional research.
Adaptive Study Designs
Adaptive study designs allow for prospectively planned modifications to the design based on interim data analysis in order to increase efficiency. This is more flexible than conventional designs but also more complex. Key types of adaptations include sample size re-estimation, dropping treatment arms, and adapting doses or endpoints. Advantages include obtaining the same information more efficiently and improving understanding of treatment effects. However, concerns relate to increased type I error rates and challenges in interpretation. Regulatory perspectives are still evolving around adaptive designs. Careful planning and control mechanisms are needed to balance flexibility with scientific integrity.
Methods of randomization final
This document discusses different methods of randomization used in clinical trials. It defines randomization as assigning participants equally to treatment groups to provide unbiased estimates. The key methods discussed are:
1. Simple randomization, which uses chance like coin flips but can lead to imbalance in small trials.
2. Permuted block randomization, which uses blocks of predetermined assignments to balance groups over time.
3. Stratified randomization, which balances covariates between groups by assigning participants to blocks based on covariate levels before random assignment.
4. Covariant adaptive randomization, which sequentially assigns participants by taking into account covariates and previous assignments to balance groups.
2-Epidemiological studies
The document discusses different types of epidemiological studies, including descriptive studies like case reports and case series that focus on person, place and time to create hypotheses. Analytical studies like case-control and cohort studies are used to test hypotheses by being either observational or interventional. Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard for comparing new interventions. Observational analytical studies include cross-sectional, cohort and case-control designs, while interventional analytical studies are clinical trials. The appropriate study design depends on the research goals and objectives.

cohort study
This document summarizes a presentation on cohort studies. It defines a cohort study as one that identifies a group of people who share a common characteristic or experience within a defined time period and follows them over time to determine outcomes. The key features of cohort studies are identified as cohorts being defined prior to disease appearance and studying the frequency of disease in groups over time. Measures of frequency used in cohort studies such as cumulative incidence and incidence density are also defined.
Epidemiological Studies

Sources of bias and errors in epidemiological studies are also summarized.
Cohort study
This document provides an overview of cohort studies. It defines a cohort as a group of people who share a common characteristic or experience within a defined time period. The key elements of a cohort study discussed are: selection of study subjects from the general population or special groups; obtaining data on exposure; selecting comparison groups; following up with participants regularly; and analyzing the data to determine if there is an association between a suspected cause and disease. Prospective cohort studies follow cohorts forward over time to examine exposure-disease relationships.
COHORT STUDY.pptx
A cohort study follows groups of individuals (cohorts) over time to examine the effects of an exposure. Cohorts are defined based on their exposure status. The exposed cohort has the characteristic/exposure being studied, while the unexposed cohort does not. Researchers observe the cohorts for the occurrence of outcomes and calculate measures like relative risk to quantify associations between exposure and outcome. Prospective cohort studies follow cohorts forward in time, while retrospective studies use existing data to look back. Cohort studies are useful for examining multiple outcomes simultaneously and estimating risks but require large samples and long follow-up periods.
Experimental epidemiology
Experimental epidemiology involves controlled studies in which researchers introduce an intervention and observe its effects. Randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard, as they randomly assign subjects to study and control groups to limit bias. This allows investigators to determine cause-and-effect relationships. Key features of randomized controlled trials include developing a study protocol, selecting and randomizing a population, implementing an intervention for the study group, following up with both groups, and assessing outcomes to compare results. Well-designed randomized controlled trials provide the strongest evidence for evaluating health interventions and establishing epidemiological relationships.

This document provides an overview of epidemiology study designs, including descriptive epidemiology, analytic epidemiology, experimental studies, and observational studies. It describes the key features and examples of analytic epidemiology, observational cohort studies, case-control studies, and cross-sectional studies. The purpose of analytic epidemiology is to identify and quantify relationships between exposures and health outcomes. Observational studies observe exposures under natural conditions rather than introducing an intervention.
Research Designs
This document discusses various study designs used in epidemiology, including measures of disease occurrence such as prevalence and incidence. It defines prevalence as the total number of cases of a disease at a specified time, while incidence refers to the number of new cases that occur over a period of time. Cohort studies are described as following groups over time to compare rates of an outcome between those exposed and unexposed to a factor. Case-control studies select groups based on having or not having an outcome and look back to compare exposures. Biases such as selection, information and confounding are also outlined.
Choosing your study design
The document discusses different study designs used in research including observational studies like cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies as well as experimental studies like clinical trials. It provides details on key aspects of each design such as whether they involve an intervention, the temporal sequence of exposure and outcome measurement, and sampling approaches. Examples are given of when each particular design would be most appropriate based on factors like disease prevalence and the aim of investigating risk factors, outcomes, or the effect of an intervention over time.
Clinical trial : Types and Design (Pharmacovigilance)

It is a quick and inexpensive way to describe characteristics of a population and identify associations between variables. However, it cannot determine causation due to its observational nature.

EXPERI MENTAL E PIDE MIOLOGICAL STUDIE S
Epidemiologic studies are either observational or experimental. Observational studies, including ecologic,
cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control designs, are considered “natural” experiments, but experimental
studies are considered true experiments. We will spend the next 2 modules discussing these designs.
Before we begin to discuss study designs, we need a brief introduction to a concept that we will spend more
time discussing in later modules -- bias. The definition of bias is:
“Deviation of results or inferences from the truth, or processes leading to such deviation. Any trend in the
collection, analysis, interpretation, publication, or review of data that can lead to conclusions that are
systematically different from the truth.” (Last, J.M., A Dictionary of Epidemiology, 4th ed.)
Epidemiologists are naturally concerned whether the results of an epidemiologic study are biased, since many
important public health decisions are often drawn from epidemiologic research. The severity of the bias, that
is - how much it influences or distorts the results, is related to the study design as well as how information is
analyzed.
Experimental Studies
The defining feature of experimental studies is that the investigator assigns exposure to the study subjects.
Experimental studies most closely resemble controlled laboratory experiments and serve as models for the
conduct of observational studies, thus they are the “gold standard” of epidemiologic research. Experimental
studies have high validity (i.e., less bias), and can identify even very small effects. The most well known type of
experimental study is a randomized trial (sometimes referred to as a randomized controlled trial), where the
investigator randomly assigns exposure to the study subjects. In this type of study, the only expected
difference between the experimental and control groups is the outcome variable being studied.
Experimental designs like the randomized trial can assess both preventive interventions, where a prophylactic
agent is given to healthy or high-risk individual to prevent disease, or can assess effects of therapeutic
treatment, such as those given to diseased individuals to reduce their risk of disease recurrence, or to improve
their survival or quality of life.
Preventive intervention: Does tamoxifen lower the incidence of breast cancer in women with high risk profile
compared to high risk women not given tamoxifen?
Therapeutic intervention: Do combinations of two or three antiretroviral drugs prolong survival of AIDS
patients as well as regimens of single drugs?
The investigator can assign exposures (or allocate interventions) to either individuals or to an entire
community.
Individual-level assignment: Do women with stage I breast cancer given a lumpectomy alone survive as long
without recurrence of disease as women given a lumpec ...

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

7-Cohort Studies
- 1. Cohort studies By: Mehdi Ehtesham MPH/ Epidemiologist, Avicenna Research Consulting London, UK
- 2. The basic concept of Cohort studies Exposure Outcome
- 4. Steps Hypothesis definition Selection of exposed and unexposed Follow-up and outcome measurement Analysis & interpretation
- 5. Selection of the Exposed Population •Sample of the general population: Geographically area, special age groups, birth cohorts •A group that is easy to identify: Nurses health study •Special population (often occupational epidemiology): Rare and special exposure
- 6. Selection of the Comparison Population • Internal Control Group – Exposed and non-exposed in the same Study population (Framingham study, Nurses health study) • Minimise the differences between exposed and non- exposed • External Control Group – Chosen in another group, another cohort (Occupational epidemiology: Asbestosis vs. cotton workers) • The General Population
- 7. You follow the participants to define: The occurrence of outcome Loss to Follow-up Define the outcome Define “loss”
- 8. Cohort Exposure Outcome Exposure Outcome Exposure Outcome Present Time
- 9. Prospective vs. retrospective Cohort Studies Prospective Cohort Studies – Time consuming, expensive – More valid information on exposure – Measurements on potential confounders Retrospective Cohort Studies – Quick, cheap – Appropriate to examine outcome with long latency periods – Difficult to obtain information of exposure – Risk of confounding
- 10. Basic cohort design Crucial comparison: outcomes in persons with vs. without predictor variable (or with different levels of predictor) Study population Predictor present Predictor absent NoYes NoYes follow-up period outcome of interest
- 12. Retrospective cohort study: From December 2003 BMJ: Aspirin, ibuprofen, and mortality after myocardial infarction: retrospective cohort study Satistics 262 12
- 13. Relative merits: cohort studies Advantages Clear temporal relationship Least susceptible to some forms of bias Can examine multiple predictors of outcome Efficient for rare exposures Useful when RCT infeasible, unethical Disadvantages No control over predictor (vs. RCT) confounding Inefficient for rare or long-latent diseases Loss to follow-up threatens validity Potential bias in outcome ascertainment Relatively resource- and time- intensive
