Question
Answer
Odds Ratio   Odds of EXPOSURE in a disease (+) group: Case Control. (Of exposed: Dz+/Dz-) / (Of unexposed: Dz+/DZ-)  
🗑
Relative Risk   Risk of DISEASE in an exposure: Cohort. % exposed who are (+)/ % unexposed who are (+)  
🗑
Attributable Risk   "Additional Risk" of getting a disease because of an exposure. %(+) with exposure - %(+) without exposure.  
🗑
Selection v. Sampling Bias   Selection: Organizers don't properly randomize subjects. Sampling: Those who elect to partake in study don't reflect population.  
🗑
Procedure bias   Groups aren't treated the same.  
🗑
Type I Error (alpha)   Probability of a "False positive study" alpha is the standard (=.05), compared to p, which is specific to the study result.  
🗑
Type II Error (beta)   Probablility of a "False negative study"  
🗑
Power (1-beta)   Probability of a "True positive study" Increased by sample size, magnitude of exposed/unexposed difference.  
🗑
Standard Deviation (Sigma)   68% lie within 1 standard deviation of mean, 95% are within 2 standard deviations, 99.7 are within 3 standard deviations.  
🗑
Standard Error of the Mean (SEM)   (1 standard deviation)/ (Sqr root of sample size). This is like standard deviation, but accounts for population size. Low SEM -> strong study result. Is used to measure the confidence interval.  
🗑
Confidence Interval   = [mean -z(SEM)] to [mean -z(SEM)]. For p=.05, z is set to 1.96.  
🗑
T Test   Absolute difference between mean of 2 groups  
🗑
ANOVA   Absolute difference between mean of 3+ groups  
🗑
Ki^2   Fraction/percent difference between 2+ groups  
🗑
Disease Prevention   (PDR) Primary: Prevent occurence, Secondary: Detection of disease, Tertiary: Reduce disability from disease  
🗑
Alcoholism prevention measures   Flu & pneumo vaccinations, TB test  
🗑
Reportable diseases   MMR, Chickenpox, Salmonella, Shigella, Hepatitis, STDs, TB  
🗑
APGAR Score   0-2 score x 5: Appearance(limbs+trunk pink), Pulse(100+), Grimace(G+cough), Activity, Respiration(regular)  
🗑
Low Birthweight   <2.5kg. Necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, persistent fetal circulation, RDS, infections  
🗑
Sleep Stages & Waves   BATS Drink Blood. Awake: (beta), 1 (alpha), 2(theta), 3-4(Sleep spindles & K complexes), 5(Delta, Night terrors & bed wetting), REM (Beta, erections, dreams)  
🗑
Raphe Nucleus   Serotonin. Sleep.  
🗑
Correlation Coefficient   -1 & 1: direct correlation. 0: no correlation  
🗑
Stage 4 sleep   Shortened by benzodiazepines & imipramine.  
🗑
Infant Mortality   Congenital, premature/low wt, SIDS, pregnancy complications, RDS  
🗑
1-14 Mortality   Injury, cancer, congenital, homicide, HD  
🗑
15-24 Mortality   Injuries, Homicide, Suicide, Cancer, HD  
🗑
25-64   Cancer, HD, Injuries, suicide, stroke  
🗑
65+   HD, Cancer, Stroke, COPD, Pneumonia, Influenza  
🗑
Berkenson's Bias   Tendency to select hospitalized patients  
🗑
Reliable = Precise   Reliable-precise  
🗑
Projection   Projecting our own feelings on someone else in similar scenario  
🗑
Identification   Modeling behavior after someone else's  
🗑
Reaction Formation   Shifting from an inappropriate behavior to the opposite  
🗑
Pygmalion Effect   Researcher's beliefs about treatment efficacy affect study  
🗑
Hawthorne Effect   Participant awareness of study aims effect behavior->outcome  
🗑
Nucleus Ceruleus   Norepinephrine  
🗑
Nucleus Basalis of Mynert   AcetylCholine  
🗑
Caudate Nucleus   Huntington's Dz  
🗑
