Oral health status of a sample of disabled population in Iran

BACKGROUND: A wide range of oral health conditions has been studies in disabled populations. Many studies showed that the oral health of individuals who were disabled was poor and their oral treatment needs were greater than those of the general population. This study aimed to determine caries experience, levels of oral hygiene,periodontal health and prevalence of malocclusion in a sample of di...

APOBEC3 Deletion is Associated with Breast Cancer Risk in a Sample of Southeast Iranian Population

Breast Cancer (BC) is considered as one of the most important causes of death worldwide. Previous studies showed that apolipoprotein B mRNA- editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3) gene deletion significantly increased the risk of BC risk in Chinese and European women. The present study aimed to assess the possible impact of APOBEC3 deletion and the risk of BC in a sample of Iranian popu...

Predicting sexual infidelity in a population-based sample of married individuals.

Predictors of 12-month prevalence of sexual infidelity were examined in a population-based sample of married individuals (N = 2,291). Predictor variables were organized in terms of involved-partner (e.g., personality, religiosity), marital (e.g., marital dissatisfaction, partner affair), and extradyadic (e.g., parenting) variables. Annual prevalence of infidelity was 2.3%. Controlling for marit...

On convergence of sample and population Hilbertian functional principal components

In this article we consider the sequences of sample and population covariance operators for a sequence of arrays of Hilbertian random elements. Then under the assumptions that sequences of the covariance operators norm are uniformly bounded and the sequences of the principal component scores are uniformly sumable, we prove that the convergence of the sequences of covariance operators would impl...
