Public Health Strategies

Oral cavity cancer is one of the most common preventable cancers in the world. The burden of thedisease is high in South Asia. Therefore, public health strategies such as creating awareness anddisease screening should be advocated for its prevention and early detection. Mouth self-examinationserves both the purposes. It is easy to perform, non-invasive, and low-cost methods. It not only helpsin the early detection of suspicious oral lesions but also helps people to quit their high-risk behaviorssuch as consumption of tobacco and alcohol.

PURPOSE AND METHODS A nationwide needs assessment survey including a validated Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Attitude Inventory of 1,500 randomly selected American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)-member clinical oncologists was conducted via a 67-item, mailed questionnaire to assess practice and attitudes regarding cancer prevention and control. RESULTS Responses of 729 physicians from 48 states representing medical (57%), radiation (17%), surgical (16%), and pediatric oncology (6%), and hematology/other (4%) fields were obtained. Except for ambivalence regarding an important role for diet in cancer causation, cancer prevention and control recommendations were widely endorsed despite skepticism about their impact on reducing deaths from cancer. Surprisingly, a significantly (P less than .001) more favorable attitude for cancer prevention and control issues was found in physicians with greater than 20 years practice compared with younger oncology colleagues, as measured by a 22-item Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Attitude Inventory. Among all physicians, participation in cancer therapy trials exceeded that in cancer prevention and control trials (91% v 27%, P less than .01). Formal instruction during postgraduate training in cancer screening (34%) or prevention (23%) was received by few oncologists; nonetheless, 69% considered themselves a resource for cancer prevention and control issues in their practice communities. Of potential barriers to cancer prevention and control activity, only lack of patients without cancer (53%) and difficulty in including such activity economically into clinical practice (65%) were majority selections. Importantly, 64% agreed they could "motivate their patients to change lifestyle to reduce cancer risk." CONCLUSION Clinical oncologists may represent a potential resource for implementation of cancer prevention and control objectives if economically feasible models for their use in practice settings can be identified.

Level Of Knowledge

The article is devoted to the study of the level of dental knowledge and hygiene skills in adolescents studying at the school №176 in Nizhny Novgorod with use of individually designed questionnaire. The questionnaire included twenty-one questions: about individual hygiene of oral cavity, the choice of subjects and means of hygiene of oral cavity, the frequency of hygienic care for oral cavity at home, the presence of inflammatory diseases of oral cavity and dentition anomalies at the time of the survey, sources of hygiene knowledge and skills of students about psycho-emotional relation of children to the procedures for the hygienic care of oral hygiene and periodic visits to the dentist. Based on the survey of 14 year’s adolescents, it can be concluded that the level of knowledge of children’s choice of subjects and means for oral hygiene and the need for regular dental education for the prevention and early detection of risk factors for the development of periodontal diseases in schoolchildren.

Vocal acoustic analysis is becoming a useful tool for the classification and recognition of laryngological pathologies. This technique enables a non-invasive and low-cost assessment of voice disorders, allowing a more efficient, fast, and objective diagnosis. In this work, ANN and SVM were experimented on to classify between dysphonic/control and vocal cord paralysis/control. A vector was made up of 4 jitter parameters, 4 shimmer parameters, and a harmonic to noise ratio (HNR), determined from 3 different vowels at 3 different tones, with a total of 81 features. Variable selection and dimension reduction techniques such as hierarchical clustering, multilinear regression analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) was applied. The classification between dysphonic and control was made with an accuracy of 100% for female and male groups with ANN and SVM. For the classification between vocal cords paralysis and control an accuracy of 78,9% was achieved for female group with SVM, and 81,8% for the male group with ANN.
