PARACOCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS.pptx
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection caused by Paracoccidioides species. It primarily involves the lungs and can disseminate to other organs. The disease ranges from asymptomatic to acute or chronic forms. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of clinical samples to identify the characteristic yeast forms and culture growth at 37°C. Treatment requires long-term antifungal therapy for 6-12 months.
Chapter10_part1_slides.pdf
This document introduces permutation methods for statistical testing. It begins with background on permutation principles and explains that most biostatistics texts only cover rank-based permutation methods but this text will cover both rank-based and non-rank-based methods. It then reviews key mathematical concepts of permutations and combinations that are important for understanding permutation methods. It provides examples of calculating permutations and combinations. Finally, it states that several permutation-based tests will be presented, with the first using original observations and the second using ranks to test different statistical concepts like correlation in a distribution-free manner.
Lecture-8 (Demographic Studies and Health Services Statistics).ppt
This document provides an overview of key concepts in demography and health services statistics. It discusses the study of demography, including the static and dynamic aspects of populations. It also describes sources of demographic data like censuses, vital registration, and surveys. Other topics covered include demographic transition, population pyramids, vital rates like fertility and mortality rates, and population projections methods.
Lecture-7 (Chi-Square test).ppt
The chi-square test is a non-parametric method used to analyze categorical data to evaluate hypotheses about populations. It can be used for goodness of fit, independence, and homogeneity. The chi-square test involves calculating expected frequencies, verifying assumptions, selecting a significance level, computing the chi-square statistic and comparing it to a critical value to determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Lecture-6 (t-test and one way ANOVA.ppt
The document discusses t-tests and one-way ANOVA statistical tests. It provides details on how to conduct one-sample t-tests, paired t-tests, two independent sample t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. It includes the assumptions, test statistics, and procedures for each test. An example is also provided to demonstrate a one-way ANOVA comparing red blood cell folate levels between three patient groups receiving different nitrous oxide treatments.
Survival Analysis Lecture.ppt
The document provides an overview of survival analysis. It defines survival analysis as a branch of statistics that focuses on time-to-event data and their analysis. It discusses censored and truncated data, the life table method, the Kaplan-Meier estimator for estimating survival functions when there is censoring, and the Cox regression model for assessing relationships between covariates and survival times. The key aspects of survival analysis are estimating the probability of surviving past a certain time point and comparing survival distributions between groups while accounting for censored observations.
Logistic Regression.ppt
This document provides an overview of logistic regression. It begins by explaining that linear regression is not appropriate when the dependent variable is dichotomous. Logistic regression uses an S-shaped logistic function to model the probabilities of different outcomes. The logistic function transforms the non-linear probabilities into linear-looking data that can be modeled using linear regression. Examples are provided to demonstrate how logistic regression can be used to predict the probability of coronary heart disease based on age and to analyze the relationship between patient satisfaction and residence.
Linear regression.ppt
Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between daily food intake (independent variable) and weight gain (dependent variable) in a sample of 20 children. The regression equation obtained was: Weight gained = 0.16 + 0.643(food weight). This indicates that for each additional 1kg of daily food intake, a child's weight increases by 0.643kg on average. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.81, meaning 81% of the variation in children's weight gain was explained by differences in daily food intake.

Subcutaneous Mycoses.pptx
Subcutaneous mycoses are fungal infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by soil-dwelling fungi. They include diseases like chromoblastomycosis, lobomycosis, mycetoma, and phaeohyphomycosis. Laboratory diagnosis involves examining skin scrapings or biopsy specimens microscopically for fungal elements and culturing specimens to identify the causative fungus. Histopathology may show brown-pigmented sclerotic bodies, yeast-like cells, or septate hyphae depending on the specific disease. Definitive diagnosis requires correlating clinical presentation with microscopic and culture findings.
Superficial Mycoses.pptx
This document discusses superficial mycoses caused by Malassezia species and Hortaea werneckii. It describes the clinical manifestations of pityriasis versicolor, seborrhoeic dermatitis, tinea nigra and laboratory diagnosis. Pityriasis versicolor presents as scaly lesions that fluoresce under UV light. Seborrhoeic dermatitis causes red, greasy scaling of seborrheic areas. Tinea nigra appears as brown to black palmar macules. Direct microscopy of skin scrapings can identify characteristic yeasts and hyphae while culture growth requires lipid supplementation. Topical imidazoles are usually effective treatments.
Dimorphic Systemic Mycoses.pptx
Dimorphic systemic mycoses are caused by fungal pathogens that can change morphology to overcome host defenses. The diseases are geographically restricted and commonly involve inhalation of spores leading to pulmonary infection. Histopathological examination is important for identifying potential pathogens by revealing characteristic tissue morphologies like spherules in coccidioidomycosis or broad-budding yeasts in blastomycosis. Laboratory diagnosis involves microscopy, culture and serology of clinical specimens but cultures require special handling due to their pathogenicity.
Fungal diseases (Mycoses).ppt
The document discusses fungal diseases caused by fungi. It will describe how fungi cause disease and compare different types of fungal infections. There are four main groups of fungal diseases: superficial mycoses which do not involve tissue response; cutaneous mycoses which infect the skin, hair, and nails; subcutaneous mycoses which infect beneath the skin; and deep systemic mycoses which infect deep within the body. Opportunistic mycoses are caused by generally harmless fungi that can cause infection in individuals with weakened immune systems. Common opportunistic infections include candidiasis caused by Candida albicans.
