Medical Questionnaire

Background: Oral diseases are associated with various systemic disorders. Our previous research revealed new insights into the close relationship between occlusal disorder (functional disorder) and systemic disorders (allergic rhinitis, asthma, and arrhythmia) in late adolescence. Here, we investigated whether there was an association between the awareness of teeth-alignment disorder (morphological disorder) and common systemic disorders. Subjects and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of the mandatory medical questionnaire that is required for the freshman medical checkup in Japan. We collected the data of all students who completed the questionnaire between April 2017 and April 2019. The data were analyzed using the χ2 test, and a multivariate analysis was performed with a binomial logistic regression model. Results: The subjects were 8903 students aged 17–19 who had no awareness of occlusal disorder. The rate of awareness of teeth-alignment disorder was 20.43% (1819 of 8903 eligible subjects), and the aware students had significantly greater rates of gum bleeding (p < 0.001), pollinosis (n = 0.007), and atopic dermatitis (n = 0.042). The multivariate analysis revealed significant rates of gum bleeding (odds ratio (OR) 1.540, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.386–1.711, p < 0.001), pollinosis (OR 1.197, 95% CI: 1.040–1.378, p = 0.012), and female gender (OR 1.141, 95% CI: 1.002–1.299, p = 0.046) among the students with awareness of teeth-alignment disorder. Conclusion: We identified close associations between the awareness of teeth-alignment disorder and both gum bleeding and pollinosis in a late-adolescent population. The systemic disorders that are targeted by teeth-alignment disorder were found to be different from those targeted by occlusal disorder.

Abstract Background Age-related conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DRP) and cataract have become the major cause of visual impairment and blindness in high-income countries and carry a major socio-economic burden. The aim of the current study is to investigate the prevalence of age-related eye diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and cataract in a cohort of self-proclaimed healthy elderly, and thus get a rough estimation of the prevalence of undiagnosed age-related eye conditions in the Belgian population.Methods Individuals aged 55 and older without ophthalmological complaints were asked to fill in a general medical questionnaire and underwent an ophthalmological examination, which included a biomicroscopic examination, intraocular pressure measurement, axial length measurement, and acquisition of fundus pictures and Optical Coherence Tomography scans. Information regarding follow-up was collected in the subset of participants who received the advice of referral to an ophthalmologist or the advice to have more frequent follow-up visits, based on the ophthalmological changes detected in their evaluation.Results The cohort included 102 people and comprised 46% men (median age 70 years, range 57-85 years). Referral for additional examinations based on clinical findings, was made in 26 participants (25%). The advice to have more regular follow-up ophthalmologist visits was given to nine additional participants (9%). No significant correlations between baseline characteristics, including eye care consumption, and the need for referral could be identified. Follow-up information was available for 25 out of 26 referred volunteers (96%). Out of these, four (16%) underwent a therapeutical intervention based on study referral, up until 18 months after study participation. All four interventions took place in the age group 65 - 74 years.Conclusions This study shows that even in an elderly population with self-proclaimed healthy eyes and good general health, a significant proportion of subjects showed ocular findings that need regular follow up and/or intervention. Moreover, the frequency of prior ophthalmological examinations does not seem to be relevant to this proportion, meaning that everyone above 55 years old needs a routine ophthalmological evaluation.

ABSTRACT Objective: To relate the level of functional health literacy with adherence and barriers to non-adherence, rehospitalization, readmission and death in patients with heart failure. Method: A cross-sectional, analytical study with patients admitted to the emergency room with a diagnosis of heart failure. Literacy was assessed by the Newest Vital Sign. Patient adherence to medication treatment and barriers to non-compliance were assessed 90 days after discharge by the Morisky-Green test and the Brief Medical Questionnaire, respectively. Results: 100 patients participated in the study. The mean age was 63.3 years (± 15.2), with a predominance of white women. Medication adherence was low in 41.1% of participants, of which 55.9% presented inadequate literacy. Re-hospitalization and death were present in patients with inadequate literacy (p<0.001). Conclusion: The low level of literacy was directly related to lower adherence and the presence of barriers to medication adherence, as well as higher rehospitalization rates and death.

Medical Questionnaire

Objetivo avaliar a efetividade da intervenção comportamental de orientação de alta e contato telefônico na adesão terapêutica, re-hospitalizações e mortalidade em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca. Método ensaio clínico randomizado, sem cegamento, incluídos 201 pacientes, internados em pronto socorro, com diagnóstico de insuficiência cardíaca. Randomizados em Grupo Controle e Grupo Intervenção, realizada intervenção de orientação de alta específica no Grupo Intervenção, contatados para reorientação via telefonemas em 07 e 30 dias e após 90 dias avaliado a adesão ao tratamento através dos testes de Morisky, Brief Medical Questionnaire e teste para adesão não medicamentosa em ambos grupos. Utilizou-se o Modelo de Equações de Estimação Generalizadas (p<0,05%). Resultados foram alocados aleatoriamente 101 pacientes no Grupo Controle e 100 no Grupo Intervenção, com média de idade de 62,6±15,2. O Grupo Intervenção apresentou maior adesão terapêutica medicamentosa e não medicamentosa em relação ao Grupo Controle (p<0,001) e houve menor índice de re-hospitalização e morte no Grupo Intervenção após 90 dias. Conclusão a orientação de alta com acompanhamento telefônico foi efetiva e resultou em maior adesão terapêutica, diminuição de re-hospitalizações e óbitos em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca.

Lignite Mines

Background: Mining is a hazardous occupation in which workers are exposed to adverse conditions. In India, there are nine working lignite mines, producing about 30 million tons annually. The mines are located in the states of Tamilnadu, Rajasthan and Gujrat. Objective: The present study was carried out in a lignite mine in India to determine the health status of the miners.  Methods: 143 workers engaged actively in mining activities were included. The health status of the employees was evaluated by well defined medical questionnaire along with pulmonary function test (PFT) and Audiometry. Result: Findings of the study showed poor literacy rate amongst the miners. Pulmonary impairment was present in 11.88% and noise induced hearing impairment in about 12.15% of the miners. Conclusion: The study findings indicate the need for regular health checkups, health education, personal protective devices and engineering control.
