Abstract

Background: Oral health is considered to be an important factor in respiratory diseases like Pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Poor oral health and abusive habits like smoking have been implicated as an independent risk factor for the development of COPD, but few studies have evaluated the association between oral health and COPD.Aim: To assess the oral health and habits of COPD individuals visiting our OPD for their regular checkups. Subjects and Methods: We performed a case-control study of oral health among patients with COPD exacerbators and healthy non COPD controls. Cases had experienced ≥1 exacerbation in the previous 12 months, while controls were healthy patients reporting to the dental OPD for a regular dental checkup. We evaluated oral health status, recorded dental symptoms/habits, and Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). In a subset, we performed blinded dental exams to measure bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical attachment loss, periodontitis severity, plaque index, gingival index, and carries risk. We evaluated associations between oral health and COPD using logistic regression. Result: Self-reported oral health status and objective dental findings had variations between cases and controls. Participants with COPD had multiple missing teeth, a higher amount of plaque, and calculus indicating poor dental health. Oral candidiasis, keratotic white lesions, and oral melanosis were also present. Conclusion: In the present observational study, we found that participants with COPD have poor oral health that compromised their quality of life probably precipitating an acute exacerbation. The incidence of COPD can be reduced by good oral hygiene measures and preventive oral care.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental erosion is an evolving concern with the food market globalization. In a rapidlydeveloping nation as India, beverage consuming behavior has significantly increased. There is freeaccess to new foods and beverages even in the neighborhood grocery stores and they are perceived asmodern and healthy. Extrinsic erosion appears to be a growing problem as a result of overconsumptionof soft drinks or fruit juices or both. Materials and Methods: Freshly extracted premolars weretreated with H202 for 24 hours and weighed with ‘Essae FB-200’ with a readability of 0.001 gram. Thebeverages were grouped into 2 categories, 1- Natural or tetra-packed beverages, 2 - aerated beveragesand a control. 20ml of each beverage was taken and the pH was measured. The tooth was immersed ineach of the beverage and pH were noted 4th hourly for 48 hours accounting for sipping the beveragefor 5 minutes every day for 1.5 years. The weight of the tooth was rechecked after 48 hours. Results:The mean pre-treatment pH of category 1 was 5±1.33 and that of category 2 was 4.66±1.32. There isno significant difference in the mean loss of weight between the two groups (p-value 0.94) there is nosignificant difference in the mean change of pH between the two groups (p-value 0.26) Conclusion:The objective erosive liability of tetra-packed and aerated beverages on the dental enamel was foundto be similar. However, natural fruit juices showed nil to negligible objective signs of dental erosion.

Abstract

Hemodialysis is the most frequent treatment method for CRF. However, it has been argued that anumber of restrictions and modifications accompany this treatment, which have a detrimental impacton the quality of patient’s life and affect individuals’ physical and psychological well-being. Objectiveof the study was to assess health promotional life style modification regarding prevention of comorbidcondition and complications of chronic renal failure among hemodialysis patient. A QuantitativeResearch approach and Quasi experimental research design (Nonequivalent control group pretest postDesign) was used for the present study. The sample consisted of 200 chronic renal failure patientsundergoing hemodialysis were selected by convenient non probability sampling technique. ResultsThe finding of the study revealed that in experimental group, pretest Knowledge mean score of thesamples had 20.26 and in posttest knowledge mean score had 33.93 so the difference is 13.67, thisdifference was large and it is statistically significant. Whereas in control group, pretest, this differencewas small and it was statistically not significant. In experimental group, mean pretest Practice scoreof the samples showed statistically significant. In experimental group 16.28% improvement in QOLscore after intervention and in control group improvement score is 0.35%. This difference showed theeffectiveness of the study. Considering correlation between experimental group posttest knowledgescore and posttest practice score was (r=0.44 P≤01), correlation between experimental group posttestknowledge score and posttest QOL score was (r=0.45 P≤01) and correlation between posttest practicescore and QOL score was (r=0.52 P≤01). It showed moderate positive correlation among them. Theresult of the present study suggest that health promotional life style modification is necessary to reducecomplications and co morbidities which is occur due to CRF and enhance quality of life of chronicpatients.

Abstract

Contact dermatitis, in general, is a non-infection inflammatory condition because the skin has contactwith both chemical and biological compounds. The aims of this study is to analyze determinants ofirritant contact dermatitis in the workers of a slaughterhouse. This study was analytical observationusing a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study was 93 workers of a broiler chickenslaughterhouse located on Jalan Abu Bakar Lambogo, Makassar. Data collection was by performing adirect observation and interview to the skin condition of the workers’ hands who were suffering fromthe symptoms of irritant contact dermatitis, such as skin rash, dry skin, itchy and painful skin, swollenskin, and chapped, and observing the work process of chicken slaughtering. Data were analyzed usingmultiple logistic regression analysis. The result of this study shows that the use of PPE, personalhygiene, length of employment, personal history of diseases of the skin, and duration of contact aresignificantly correlated with (p < 0.05) the incidence of irritant contact dermatitis symptoms. Basedon the result of the multiple logistic regression analysis, personal hygiene (p = 0.003) and duration ofcontact (p = 0.004) are the main determinants of irritant contact dermatitis symptoms in the workersof the broiler chicken slaughterhouse. It can be concluded that the personal hygiene and duration ofcontact are the main determinants of irritant contact dermatitis symptoms in the workers of the broilerchicken slaughterhouse.

Abstract

The myc is a proto-oncogene that regulates the cellular process like cell growth, proliferation,metabolism, apoptosis and malignancy pathologies. myc deregulation occurs in several cancers andplays a significant role in disease development, metastatic potential, and therapeutic resistance. Drugtargeting myc in cancer remains highly desirable with substantial challenges, delaying the direct myctargeted drugs’s development. These drugs target the myc transcriptions deregulations in tumours cellby compound inhibiting the inducing of epigenetic silencing or regulation of G-quadruplex structureswithin the myc promoter. Proteins involved in myc’s post-translational modulation have been identifiedas significant surrogate targets for lowering myc activity downstream of aberrant cell stimulatorysignals.
