BACKGROUND/AIM Malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). In this study, we aimed to screen for malnutrition and geriatric syndromes and seek their associations in patients with AD. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Lawton ...

BACKGROUND Malnutrition occurs frequently among patients in rehabilitation, leading to poorer outcomes. Evidence of the effects of interventions to prevent or treat malnutrition is required to guide clinical practice in this setting. This systematic review aimed to determine the effect of oral nutrition interventions implemented in rehabilitation on nutritional and functional outcomes. METHOD...

Background and Purpose: Oral health is a critical factor in the quality of life (QoL) of older adults in relation to their nutrition, mental health, and healthy social relationships. This study aimed to investigate oral problems and psychological status of older adults referred to a hospital and its relationship with cognition status, stress, anxiety, and depression. Materials and Methods: Thi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of nutritional intake and nutritional status and analyze the association between them during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This was a retrospective cross sectional study on 36 patients (9 Autologous transplantation group and 27 Allogeneic transplantation group) undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at The Catholic Univ...

Hemangioma is a rare, non-reactive, benign vascular tumor, characterized by endothelial cell proliferations and results from malformation. mostly occurs on head neck skin regresses spontaneously within 5-10 years in 50-90% of cases. However, oral lesions show less regression than lesions. The most commonly affected area tongue palatal mucosa, rarely observed jaw bones. Diagnosis based anamnesis...

N utritional status and nutrient intake are closely related to oral health.

We present a case of urticaria caused by antihistamines in a patient with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) sensitivity. A 35-year-old man experienced, on 2 separate occasions, immediate generalized urticaria during treatment with ibuprofen and naproxen, respectively. A single-blind, placebo-controlled oral challenge (SBPCOC) with piroxicam was carried out, and resulted in urticaria a...

PET-CT scan has demonstrated to be very effective in lung cancer diagnosis and staging, but lung cancer has multiple ways of presentation, which can lead to an error in diagnosis imaging and a delay on the beginning of specific treatment. We present a case of a 77-year-old man with an initial PET-CT scan showing high 18F-FDG intake, suggesting a bilateral pneumonia, who was finally diagnosed of...

An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed and validated for the determination of ethylglucuronide (EtG) in oral fluid. Sample clean-up was achieved by solid-phase extraction with a Hyper-SEP SAX column. Negative ionization was performed in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Two transitions were monitored for the analyte and one for the int...
