BACKGROUND Recent times have witnessed a significant increase in the number of patients affected by problems related to oncological treatment Aims of this study is to evaluate dental affectation among patients awaiting hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HPCT), and they showed high caries risk, so it should establish a protocol prior to transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study in...

The purpose of the study is to assess a multidisciplinary caries-prediction model. Enrolled in the study were 184 low-income children ages 3-5 years old in two Head Start programs in Connecticut. Children were examined by a dentist at baseline and at 1 year for dental caries. Each child also provided a saliva sample to obtain a measure of S. mutans. The children's caregivers completed an interv...

We develop the extended dynamical mean field theory (E-DMFT) with a view towards realistic applications. 1) We introduce an intuitive derivation of the E-DMFT formalism. By identifying the Hartree contributions before the EDMFT treatment, it allows to handle systems in symmetry breaking phases within a simple formalism. 2) We make a new implementation of E-DMFT through real Hubbard-Stratonovich...

In the MINDACT trial, 4 risk categories (RC) by clinical (c) and genomic (g) risks were defined. cHigh/gLow patients (pts) with no adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), 8y-Distant Metastases Free Survival (DMFS) was 89.4 % [95% CI 86.2-91.5]. MP also identified a third subgroup of gUL pts (score 0.355 – 1.0, 15% in MINDACT), an excellent prognosis benefit from extended endocrine therapy (EET). We aimed t...

OBJECTIVES This study assessed the cost effectiveness of a three-year school-based pit and fissure dental sealant and fluoride mouthrinsing program in two nonfluoridated regions in Victoria, Australia. METHODS The analysis was based on a community intervention in five schools comparing an intervention group receiving the pit and fissure dental sealant, a weekly fluoride mouthrinsing, and an a...

PURPOSE To investigate the prognostic value of cavernoussinus invasion (CSI) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective review of data from 1,087 patients with biopsy-proven, non-metastatic NPC. All patients were diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and received IMRT as the primary ...

AIMS To establish whether or not the state of patient oral health can influence the occurrence and/or severity of oral mucositis during hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 72 patients awaiting HPCT. Prior to transplantation, clinical exploration and radiology were carried out and oral photographs were taken. This evaluated the extent ...

Obezite vücuda alınan enerjiyle harcanan enerji arasındaki dengesizlikten kaynaklanan morbidite ve mortalite oranını önemli ölçüde arttırtan kronik bir hastalıktır. prevalansı dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de hızla artmaktadır. kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, diyabet, hipertansiyon, kanserler dizi hastalıkla ilişkili olup; orta derecede kilo kaybı ile komorbiditeleri azalmaktadır. aynı zamanda çür...
