[Phenome-genome relations and pathogenetics of multifactorial diseases].

[Phenome-genome relations and pathogenetics of multifactorial diseases].

Vestn Ross Akad Med Nauk. 2011;(9):17-27

Authors:

Abstract
This study of phenome-genome relations in multifactorial diseases is focused on the principal notions and concepts, such as “arthritism”, syntropies and syntropic gene, diseasome, orthologic phenotypes (phenologs). The results of original investigations into synthropic genes responsible for predisposition to multifactorial diseases are presented along with analysis of DNA methylation in atherosclerotic plaques and whole-genome analysis of asthma. A hypothesis is proposed that ischaemic preconditioning may be a mechanism underlying the stable cardiovascular disease continuum as a special form of synthropy. Two principal lines of research on genetics of multifactorial disease are distinguished, viz. ontogenesis of multifactorial diseases and epigenetic inheritance.

[Acute respiratory insufficiency – Prehospital management of obstructive pulmonary diseases].

[Acute respiratory insufficiency – Prehospital management of obstructive pulmonary diseases].

Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther. 2011 Nov;46(11-12):726-34

Authors: Kruska P, Kerner T

Abstract
Acute respiratory insufficiency due to obstructive pulmonary diseases is a common problem presenting to the emergency medical service. Most frequent causes are acute asthma attacks or acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The preclinical differentiation of both diseases may be difficult, so that the diagnosis is often made by precise anamnesis. This article reviews the prehospital management of asthma and COPD, including pharmacological options and techniques of mechanical ventilatory support (non-invasive vs. invasive).
