The Relationship

Non-carious cervical lesions cause destructive dental disorders that actively contribute to the progressive loss of dental structure and the immediate need for dental treatment, due to their multiple symptoms and factors that produce them. Aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between extrinsic factors and non-carious cervical lesions in patients of the National Hospital Hipólito Unánue. Methods: The research was of a descriptive correlative type. The sample consisted of male and female patients between 18 and 65 years old, who attended the carielogy service of this hospital. For data collection, 2 questionnaires were used to estimate the values of the extrinsic factors that allowed us to obtain the necessary information on the variables to be studied. Spearman’s Rho was applied to determine the relationship between the variable’s study. Results: According to Spearman’s Rho of 0.622, compared to p-0.000 <0.01. Between the variables studied; extrinsic factors and noncarious cervical lesions there is a moderate and significant positive correlation. Conclusion: Through this section it was possible to demonstrate the existing relationship between extrinsic variable factors and non-carious cervical lesions, therefore it was concluded that there is a moderate and significant positive correlation in the sample comprised by the patients of the Hospital in mention.

Vitiligo is a skin pigmentation disorder that is caused by a loss of melanocytes, characterized by white spots around certain parts of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between digit length, digit (2D:4D) ratio and vitiligo among vitiligo patients within a south-southern Nigeria. Informed consents were obtained from 98 vitiligo adult subjects (69 females and 29 males) in the age range of 18 – 50 years. The measurements that were obtained were the digit lengths of second and fourth fingers for both hands using the digital vernier caliper. The mean and standard deviation values were calculated for all measurements. A Pearson correlation was used to analyse the relationship between the various measurements for both hands in the study. Results showed that the mean ± standard deviation of the various parameters for the female category. Right 2D length was 6.67± 7.53cm, left 2D length was 6.68 ± 7.32cm, right 4D length and left 4D length were 6.86 ± 8.57cm and 6.89 ± 8.50cm respectively. While, the mean and standard deviation values for right and left 2D:4D ratios for the female category were 0.98 ± 0.15 and 0.98 ± 0.12 respectively. In the males, right 2D length was 6.66 ± 9.66cm, left 2D length was 6.64 ± 9.86cm, right 4D length and left 4D length were 6.99 ± 10.09cm and 7.03± 10.40cm respectively. While, the mean and standard deviation values for right and left 2D:4D ratios for the male category were 0.95 ± 0.03 and 0.95 ± 0.03 respectively. In the females for the right hand, there was a significant positive correlation between 2D length and 4D length (r = 0.761, p = 0.000) while there was a significant negative correlation between 4D length and digit ratio (r = -0.473, p = 0.000) at p < 0.01. For the left hand, there was a significant positive correlation between 2D length and 4D length (r = 0.783, p = 0.000). In the males for the right hand, there was a significant positive correlation between 2D length and 4D length (r = 0.976, p = 0.000). For the left hand, there was a significant positive correlation between 2D length and 4D length (r = 0.981, p = 0.000).It can be concluded that the knowledge of 2D:4D ratio among vitiligosubjects could be helpful in clinical anthropometry however, more research has to be done considering that the sample size of this study is relatively small.

Objective To replicate and to extend a previous study examining the conversational skills of children with cleft lip and palate. Participants Thirty-four children (33 to 44 months) participated: 17 children with cleft lip and palate and 17 noncleft children. Methods The children were observed during an interaction with caregivers in their homes. Samples of caregiver-child interactions were coded as assertive or responsive, for type of conversational act, and for discourse level categories. Profiles of conversational activity were determined for each child based on the coding. Correlations were performed to examine the relationship between assertiveness and speech variables (articulation and resonance) for the children with cleft lip and palate. Results Group comparisons revealed that the children with cleft lip and palate produced fewer assertive utterances, were less likely to respond adequately to comments by caregivers, and produced more topic maintaining and fewer topic extending utterances than did their noncleft peers during conversational interactions. Examination of individual child data indicated that 35% of the children with cleft lip and palate exhibited conversational profiles characterized by either low assertiveness or low responsiveness. Finally, a significant positive correlation was noted between conversational assertiveness and speech production skills. Conclusion These findings suggested that the children with cleft lip and palate were less conversationally assertive than their noncleft peers. Further, there appeared to be a relationship between speech production skills and conversational skills, suggesting that poor speech may be impacting language performance for these children.

AbstractBackground and aimsRecent evidence demonstrated that complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is associated with a larger than normal somatosensory (S1) representation of the healthy hand. The most intuitive mechanism for this apparent enlargement is increased, i.e. compensatory, use of the healthy hand. We investigated whether enlargement of the S1 representation of the healthy hand is associated with compensatory use in response to CRPS. Specifically, we were interested in whether the size of the S1 representation of the healthy hand is associated with the severity of functional impairment of the CRPS-affected hand. We were also interested in whether CRPS duration might be positively associated with the size of the representation of the healthy hand in S1.MethodsUsing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from our previous investigation, the size of the S1 representation of the healthy hand in CRPS patients (n = 12) was standardised to that of a healthy control sample (n = 10), according to hand dominance. Responses to questionnaires on hand function, overall function and self-efficacy were used to gather information on hand use in participants. Multiple regression analyses investigated whether the S1 representation was associated with compensatory use. We inferred compensatory use with the interaction between reported use of the CRPS-affected hand and (a) reported overall function, and (b) self-efficacy. We tested the correlation between pain duration and the size of the S1 representation of the healthy hand with Spearman’s rho.ResultsThe relationship between the size of the S1 representation of the healthyh and and the interaction between use of the affected hand and overall function was small and non-significant ( β =-5.488×10-5, 95% C.I. –0.001, 0.001). The relationship between the size of the S1 representation of the healthy hand and the interaction between use of the affected hand and self-efficacy was also small and non-significant (β =-6.027×10-6, 95% C.I. –0.001, 0.001). The S1 enlargement of the healthy hand was not associated with pain duration (Spearman’s rho = –0.14, p = 0.67).ConclusionOur exploration did not yield evidence of any relationship between the size of the healthy hand representation in S1 and the severity of functional impairment of the CRPS-affected hand, relative to overall hand use or to self-efficacy. There was also no evidence of an association between the size of the healthy hand representation in S1 and pain duration. The enlarged S1 representation of the healthy hand does not relate to self-reported function and impairment in CRPS.ImplicationsWhile this study had a hypothesis-generating nature and the sample was small, there were no trends to suggest compensatory use as the mechanism underlying the apparent enlargement of the healthy hand in S1. Further studies are needed to investigate the possibility that inter-hemispheric differences seen in S1 in CRPS may be present prior to the development of the disorder.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between established acute inflammatory markers in COVID-19 patients with Mean platelet volume (MPV) and Platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective longitudinal study conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi from 10th June to 10th August 2020. Biochemical parameters i.e. CRP, serum ferritin, LDH, and pro-BNP as well as hematological parameters (MPV and P-LCR) were noted once every week during admission of all the COVID-19 positive patients.Data were analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 23. Repeated measure ANOVA using a generalized linear model was done to check the trend of values during the duration of their stay. Pearson Correlation analysis and regression models were estimated to check the relationship of MPV and P-LCR with C- reactive protein, serum Ferritin, LDH, and pro-BNP. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the studied group was 55.47 (SD=±15.0) years with the female to male ratio being 2:1. Mean platelet volume showed a statistically significant positive correlation with the established set of inflammatory markers other than pro-BNP with a p-value of less than 0.05.P-LCR however showed a positive correlation with CRP (p-value of less than 0.05) only with no significant correlation with other biochemical markers. Conclusion: MPV is reported on routine complete blood count report (CBC). It is readily available at even the most under-resourced health centers; therefore reporting the platelet indices does not require extra testing, sampling, or reagent cost. A statistically significant positive correlation amongst the established acute inflammatory markers and relatively understudied platelet indices (MPV) in COVID-19 provides a cost-effective, readily available, and time-efficient tool for marking disease progression.
