Influence of Gender in Selecting Fixed and Removable Prosthesis

Tooth loss is a common dental problem. Impairment of oral functions and masticatory efficiency is a result of tooth loss. The negative effects of tooth loss can be managed by the fixed and removable prosthesis. This study was conducted to determine the influence of gender in selecting prosthesis. This study was a retrospective observational study conducted in a university hospital in Chennai. Data collection was done with the help of the electronic dental record of the university- Dental information archiving software (DIAS). It records all patients data from initial visit to last visit chronologically. This was followed by Excel tabulation. Data was analysed using SPSS Software. The association of study variables was calculated using the Chi-Square test. Within the limits of the study, female patients were willing for replacement of teeth than male patients (55%). There was a significant difference in choosing the type of prosthetic treatment. It was seen that fixed partial denture was chosen over removable prosthesis (59.8%).

ABSTRACT Purpose Verify the position of lips and tongue at rest in newborns with and without ankyloglossia. Methods Cross-sectional study, carried out with 130 newborns in University Hospital. Data collection was performed by the researcher and speech-language pathologists from the Hospital. Information on gestational age, sex, weight, height and days of life was collected. The position of the lips and tongue at rest was evaluated through visual inspection with the newborns asleep. After the newborns were awakened, Neonatal Screening of the validated Protocol for the evaluation of the lingual frenulum for infants was performed to detect the alteration of the lingual frenulum. The data obtained were described and submitted to statistical analysis using the Chi-Square test to verify the association between the position of the lips with the tongue and to compare the position of the lips and tongue with and without ankyloglossia. The Mann-Whitney test was used to verify the behavior of the variables the differed between newborns with and without ankyloglossia. The significance level of 5% was adopted. Results When comparing the data, a significant difference was found between: weight and height with and without ankyloglossia; position of lips and tongue. An association between the position of the tongue and lips with and without ankyloglossia was also found. Conclusion Newborns without alteration of the lingual frenulum have a tendency to remain with their lips closed and their tongue elevated during rest and newborns with ankyloglossia have a tendency to keep their lips parted and their tongue low during rest.

Abstract Background: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is common and would reduce the quality of life of patients. Transversus abdominal plane (TAP) block has been widely used in lower abdominal surgery and many researches demonstrated that it could improve acute postsurgical pain. We aim to determine whether TAP block could improve chronic postoperative pain at 3 months and 6 months after colorectal surgery.Methods: A total of 307 patients received selective colorectal surgery under general anesthesia between January, 2015 and January, 2019 in a single university hospital were included: 128 patients received TAP block combined with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) for postsurgical analgesia (group TP) and 179 only administrated with PCIA (group P). Main outcome was the NRS score of pain at 24 hours, 48 hours, 3 months and 6 months after colorectal surgery. The data was analyzed by two-way repeated measures anova and the chi-square test.Results: The NRS score at rest and during movement was decreased significantly at 24 hours after surgery (rest NRS 1.07±1.34 vs 1.65±1.67, movement NRS 3.00±1.45 vs 3.65±1.89; all P=0.003) in group TP than those of group P. There was no significant difference of NRS score at 48 hours after surgery (P>0.05). At 3 months after surgery, the NRS score during movement was also lower in group TP than that in group P (0.59±1.23 vs 0.92±1.65, P=0.045). There was no significant difference of NRS score at 6 months after surgery (P>0.05). The prevalence of CPSP was 19.5% (25/128) in group TP and 20.7% (37/179) in group P at 3 months after surgery. 13.2% (17/128) of patients suffered from CPSP in group TP and 13.9% (25/179) in group P at 6 months after surgery. Both at 3 months and 6 months after surgery, there was no statistical difference of the prevalence of CPSP between the two groups (all P >0.05) .Conclusions: TAP block reduced NRS during movement at 3 months after surgery but did not reduce the incidence of CPSP at 3 months and 6 months after selective colorectal surgery.

Abstract Background In this study it was aimed to compare the effects of qSOFA (Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score with modified qSOFA score (PLoS One. 2018 Sep 26;13(9):e0204608) for predicting one month survival in patients with diagnosed septic shock (SS) in a tertiary-care educational university hospital in a developing country. Methods Modified qSOFA was created by adding age factor (>50 years=1 point) to patients with qSOFA scale 1 or 2 or 3 who had SS (sepsis+hypotension+adrenergic agent) and consulted by Infectious Diseases consultants between December 2013-December 2018. Arterial lactate level of >2 mmol/L criterion was added as an including criteria for SS according to 3rd International Sepsis and Septic Shock Consensus Statement after 23rd February 2016. Statistical analysis was performed via Chi-square test and a p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results The number of patients with qSOFA score of 1 or 2 or 3 from 527 patients are in Table1 [some of the cases were diagnosed as septic shock according to elder definition (without lactate criterion) and there was a subgroup with qSOFA score 1]. Among the >50-year aged group, the 30-day survival rate was lower in patients with qSOFA3 vs. qSOFA 2 vs. qSOFA 1 (Table1, 3x2 Chi Square test, P = 0.0057). Among the <50 years group, the qSOFA one month survival rate was lower in patients with qSOFA 3 vs. qSOFA 2 vs. qSOFA 1 (Table, 3x2 Chi Square Test, P = 0.0052). According to modified qSOFA, there was a significant difference for one month survival among SS cases with scores of 1, 2, 3 and 4 (12/21 57% vs. Fifty/126 40% vs. 78/269 29% vs. 22/111 20%, 4x2 Chi-square test, P = 0.0003). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in terms of one month survival when we performed subgroup analysis in qSOFA score 1, 2, or 3 subgroups, as ≤50 years vs. >50 years (table, Chi-square test, 12/21 vs. 39/97 P = 0.224, 11/29 vs. 75/244 P = 0.526, 3/25 vs. 22/111 P = 0.572). Conclusion In terms of survival at one month, there was a significant difference between qSOFA score 1, 2, 3 and 4 subgroups. In patients with qSOFA score of 1 or 2 or 3, being under 50 years did not have a significant effect on one-month survival. Modified qSOFA may be beneficial to foresee the probable mortality but these findings need to be validated in larger cohorts Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

The kind of research that was utilized in this study was an analytical questionnaire. In this study, a cross-sectional design was employed to collect data. Sixty-six individuals were included in the samples that fulfilled the requirements. The findings revealed that 1) the midwife's attitude toward promoting exclusive breastfeeding at the UPT Puskesmas (Community Health Center) Mare had no impact on the outcomes of the study. The results of the chi square test revealed that the p-value was 0,089, indicating that the hypothesis was correct (0,05). There is an association between midwife assistance and an increase in exclusive breastfeeding at the University of Puskesmas Mare, according to the findings of the chi square test (p-value =0,007 for exclusive breastfeeding at the UPT Puskesmas Mare) (0,05). The rise in exclusive breastfeeding at the UPT Puskesmas Mare may be attributed to the midwifery program, according to the findings. The results of the chi square test reveal that the p-value is 0,0002, which indicates a significant difference (0,05). 4) Midwife assistance had a 12,7-fold higher impact on the rise in exclusive breastfeeding, with a p-value of 0.028 0.05 for the effect of midwife support. The midwife program, on the other hand, had a moderate impact on the rise in exclusive breastfeeding, with a p-value of 0,038 0.05 and a moderate effect of 11,1 times on the increase in exclusive breastfeeding.

Objective: To verify an association between weight and use of medications that lead to weight gain (MLGP) in a population of obese patients monitored in the Unified Health System. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive sectional study with data from medical records of all patients. patients treated by the University Hospital Multiprofessional Service for obese patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery. The collection took place from January 2014 to March 2016. A weight-dependent variable, used in the body mass index (BMI) and degree of obesity and as independent variables of sex, age, education, income, number of diseases, number of drugs and number of MLGP. The association was calculated using the Ro Spearman correlation and the chi-square test. Results: 102 patients were studied, mostly women (87%), with a mean BMI of 45.9 kg / m2 (min 32.56 - maximum 70.98 kg / m2 SD = 6.43). The main comorbidities were systemic arterial hypertension (65.7%) and osteoarticular disorders (39.2%). The average number of drugs per patient was 4.3 and the most used class was for the renin-angiotensin system (67.3%). MLGP corresponds to 10.4% of the drugs used and 27.4% of the patients use them. MLGP patients used an average of 5.8 medications and the most prevalent classes were betablocking agents (60.6%), followed by medications used in diabetes (24.2%). Atenolol and a glibenclamide were the most used MLGP. The mean BMI of patients who used more than one MLGP was 51 kg / m2. Conclusion: There was no correlation between weight and the use of MLGP in this population. However, patients who used the MLGP combination had a higher BMI.

Abstract A brief study is provided on the forecast performance of students who write a mock area forecast discussion (AFD) on a weekly basis. Student performance was tracked for one semester (11 weeks) during the University of Missouri—Columbia's local weather forecast game. The hypothesis posed is that student performance is no better on days when they compose an AFD. A nonparametric Mann–Whitney test cannot reject that hypothesis. However, the same test employed on precipitation forecasts (for days when precipitation actually fell) shows that there is a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02) between the scores of those students writing an AFD and those who do not. Similar results are found with a chi-square test. Thus, AFD writers improve their precipitation score on days when significant weather occurred. Forecaster confidence is also enhanced by AFD composition.

Background: Clinicians are continually challenged to improve the standard of treatment. Careful measurements and designs, based on knowledge of tooth loss patterns and biomechanical principles, will determine the overall quality of removable prostheses.Objectives: This study maps the pattern of tooth loss in a sample of patients and the most efficient designs employed for their cobalt-chrome removable prosthesis.Material and Methods: Data was collected from gypsum casts, metal castings, and prescriptions sent to dental technicians. The sample included both men (44) and women (109). Information was obtained on their Kennedy classification, number of missing teeth in the maxilla and the mandible, the type of major connector fitted, and when additional indirect retainers with clasps were incorporated into the frame. The significance of the association between pairs of these categorical variables was tested by a Chi Square test.Results: Patients with maxilla loss (82%) had mostly (54%) 6 to 10 missing teeth and were assessed principally (78%) as exhibiting Kennedy Class II or III patterns. Most (77%) of those missing teeth in their mandible (66%) were assessed as either Class I or Class II. The Anterior-Posterior (70%) in the maxilla and the Lingual Bar (74%) in the mandible were the most common fitted connectors. Indirect retainers were used for patients with maxilla (78%) or mandible (96%) tooth loss to provide extra stability.Conclusion: Additional components incorporated in the Cobalt-Chrome frame increased the biomechanical efficiency of the appliance by reducing destructive forces, caused by the torque on the abutment teeth.
