  2. Clinical prediction rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_prediction_rule

    The investigators then obtain a standard set of clinical observations on each patient and a test or clinical follow-up to define the true state of the patient. They then use statistical methods to identify the best clinical predictors of the patient's true state. The probability of disease will depend on the patient's key clinical predictors.

  3. Race adjustment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_adjustment

    Race adjustment, also known as race-correction, [1] [2] is the calculating of a result which takes into account race. [1] It is commonly used in medical algorithms in several specialties, including cardiology, nephrology, urology, obstetrics, endocrinology, oncology and respiratory medicine. [1]

  4. Musculoskeletal injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculoskeletal_injury

    Tendons and ligaments play an active role in maintain joint stability and controls the limits of joint movements, once injured tendons and ligaments detrimentally impact motor functions. [2] [8] Continuous exercise or movement of a musculoskeletal injury can result in chronic inflammation with progression to permanent damage or disability. [9]

  5. Rheumatoid arthritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatoid_arthritis

    Such an erosion (>3mm) can give rise to vertebrae slipping over one another and compressing the spinal cord. [medical citation needed] Clumsiness is initially experienced, but without due care, this can progress to quadriplegia or even death. [40] Vertigo may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis via the following associations that can cause ...

  6. Hypermobility spectrum disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermobility_spectrum...

    Joint instability and soft tissue injuries: Dislocations, subluxations, or damage to muscles, ligaments, tendons, synovium, or cartilage as a result of excessive joint movement. Chronic pain : Recurrent joint pain that can develop into hyperalgesia , with a higher rate of small fiber neuropathy in some individuals.

  7. Chain rule (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule_(probability)

    This rule allows one to express a joint probability in terms of only conditional probabilities. [4] The rule is notably used in the context of discrete stochastic processes and in applications, e.g. the study of Bayesian networks, which describe a probability distribution in terms of conditional probabilities.

  8. Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distribution

    If the points in the joint probability distribution of X and Y that receive positive probability tend to fall along a line of positive (or negative) slope, ρ XY is near +1 (or −1). If ρ XY equals +1 or −1, it can be shown that the points in the joint probability distribution that receive positive probability fall exactly along a straight ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthritis

    There are several diseases where joint pain is the most prominent symptom. Generally when a person has "arthritis" it means that they have one of the following diseases: Hemarthrosis; Osteoarthritis [14] Rheumatoid arthritis [15] Gout and pseudo-gout [16] Septic arthritis [17] Ankylosing spondylitis [18] Juvenile idiopathic arthritis [19] Still ...
