The problem of oral candidiasis is topical for the adult population and children due to frequent recurrence, the presence of a large number of predisposing factors, lack of compliance with hygienic measures for the care of the oral cavity. The most common causative agent of oral candidiasis is the fungi C. albicans. The article discusses the risk factors for the development of this disease taking into account age-related factors, provides clinical morphological characteristics of acute and chronic forms of oral candidiasis. Local causal treatment of isolated candidal lesions of the oral cavity by 1% solution of clotrimazole (Candid) is effective both in children and adults. Preventive care after the course etiotropic therapy are aimed at reducing the number of relapses of oral candidiasis.

Introduction: Given that no consensus has yet been reached over the optimal cut-off points of waist circumference (WC) for Chinese, this study aimed to determine the appropriate cut-off points of WC for detecting central obesity and severe central obesity in a Chinese adult population. Methods: Data from the cross-sectional survey of the PRC-USA Collaborative study of Cardiovascular and Cardiopulmonary Epidemiology in 1993-1994 was used, including 10265 subjects (4921 men and 5344 women) aged 35-69 years. Each integer of WC in centimeters was used as the cut-off point to detect clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, which was defined as the presence of two or more risk factors among hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Based on the Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the WC value corresponding to the point on the ROC curve nearest to the upper left corner of the ROC graph was considered the optimal cut-off for central obesity and the value corresponding to the point with specificity of 90% or more was considered the optimal cut-off for severe central obesity. Results: The optimal cut-off value of WC to detect clustering of risk factors was ≥84 cm for men and was ≥80 cm for women with the shortest distance to the upper left corner being 0.4304 and 0.4504, respectively. The cut-off values of WC with specificity above 90% were ≥93 cm and ≥91 cm for men and women respectively. Conclusions: These results were equal or similar to the WC cut-off points proposed by the Guidelines for Prevention and Control of Overweight and Obesity in Chinese Adults, i.e., ≥85/80 cm (men/women) for increased risk for obesity related diseases and ≥95/90 cm (men/women) for much higher risk. For practical reasons, WC≥85/80 cm and ≥95/90 cm (men/women) could be the optimal cut-off values for detecting central obesity and severe central obesity, respectively, in Chinese adult population.

Background and Aims: Cholelithiasis is a common upper gastrointestinal tract disorder in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Analyses of risk factors for gallstone formation may explain the need for lifestyle modifications. Therefore, our aim was to identify sex- and age-related differences in the prevalence and risk factors for gallstones among Saudi individuals in the city of Al-Ahsa. Methods: The medical records of patients, ≥1 year of age, with a radiologically confirmed diagnosis of gallstones, between 2014 through 2016, were retrieved and relevant demographic and clinical data extracted. Risk factors for cholelithiasis for all age groups were identified. Results: A total of 618 patients had radiologically confirmed gallstones over the 3-year period of observation. The prevalence was higher among females than males (73% versus 27%, respectively) in all age groups. In the paediatric group, the prevalence of gallstones was higher among girls with obesity and those with sickle cell disorders. Advanced age, a higher body mass index, high low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and cholesterol were independently associated with cholelithiasis in both gender of all age groups. Hepatitis B and C were not found to be risk factors for cholelithiasis. Conclusions: Older age, female sex, a high body mass index, and hyperlipidaemia are major risk factors for gall stones formation among all age groups. Haemolytic anaemia, namely sickle cell disease, is a prevalent risk factor in paediatric population.
