Abstract

Idiopathic conditions consist of any condition that has no known root cause. Idiopathic symptoms and conditions continuously affect a large portion of the global population. Many of them are generally incurable due to a lack of understanding of their physiological mechanisms and root causes. Many of them have been found to have a genetic component as well. Frequently, once genetic factors are identified, there are a few investigations on how environmental factors influence disease development or if environmental factors can still give rise to cures. Because idiopathic conditions are not fully understood, treatments for all of them often leave many people experiencing varying levels of discomfort, impairment, and chronic pain. The primary purpose of this study was to act as a stepping-off point for future research into idiopathic cures by drawing linkages between candidiasis pathology and various idiopathic conditions. Although not shown in this poster, the study also suggests a large variety of future research and dives into potential ways to adjust the future of medical research in order to combat these idiopathic conditions and keep up with the increasing need for cures.
