Case Study – A Tiny Heart (old version)

screenshot

This case study was revised in 2023, get the NEW VERSION !

This case study focuses on a baby boy who was born with a problem with his heart.  The story is based on a real scenario, though some of the names have been changed, and the parents gave permission to include photos of the infant.

Students will read about symptoms that occur when a baby is born with stenosis, or a narrowing of the artery.   Students consider treatment options and compare the circulation of a fetus to that of an adult.   Finally, the Ross Procedure is described where a valve from the pulmonary artery is moved to the aorta.

This case study was made for a high school anatomy class, and may not be appropriate for younger audiences.  Students should have already completed the chapter on the circulatory system and have a strong foundation in how the circulatory system works.  Case studies are designed to be completed in small groups so that students can have discussions and help each other with difficult vocabulary.

Eating Behavior and Chronic Diseases: Research Evidence from Population Studies

Comparison of Dutch healthy eating and healthy eating indexes and anthropometry in patients with major depression with health subjects: a case-control study Provisionally Accepted

  • 1 Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Background: Diseases and disorders related to mental health are spreading like other chronic diseases all around the world. Considering the role of food in the prevention and treatment of these disorders, including major depression, investigating the relationship between different food patterns and this disorder is of particular importance. The aim of this study was to compare Dutch healthy eating and healthy eating indexes and anthropometry in patients with major depression with healthy individuals.Methods: In this case-control study, the final analysis was performed on 67 men and 111 women with an age range of 20-30 years. Height (cm), weight (kg), food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), physical activity (MET-min/week), demographic and PHQ-9 questionnaires were taken from all participants. In the following, all the food ingredients and their components were extracted and used to calculate HEI-2015 and DHD. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software with independent t-test, logistic regression and chi-square.Results: It was found that people with major depression in this study were mostly women and occupied. The average HEI-2015 in healthy people and those with major depression was 58 and 54.3, respectively. Also, the average DHD in these people was 60.5 and 55, respectively. HEI-2015 and DHD had a significant negative correlation with depression score (r= -0.16, p-value= 0.03) (r= -0.19, p-value= 0.01). Also, in the logistic regression model, before and even after adjusting confounders, HEI-2015 and DHD had a reduced odds ratio in people suffering from major depression. The two groups did not differ significantly in terms of the average factors of height, weight and body mass index (BMI).Conclusion: It seems that HEI2015 and DHD have a significant relationship in reducing major depression. However, due to the small number of studies in this regard, especially in the field of DHD, the need for more studies seems necessary.
