Abstract: Smokers can be found in almost all groups of people worldwide since cigarettes can be obtained easily anywhere and have been addicted by adult smokers. Leukoedema is one of the lesions in oral cavity that most often appears in smokers. This study was aimed to obtain the description of leukoedema cases among smokers. This was a literature review study. This study used previous studies or reports related to leukoedema in smokers. There were 13 literatures in this study consisting of 9 cross-sectional studies, 3 cohort studies, and 1 case control study. The results showed that leukoedema lesions were more common in smokers than in those who consumed tobacco. Leukoedema was closely related to the duration of smoking and the frequency of smoking in a day. Leukoedema was also more common in men than in women, and was often found bilaterally on the buccal mucosa. In conclusion, leucoedema was most common in cigarette smokers and was related to duration of smoking, frequency of smoking per day, and sex. It was often found bilaterally on the buccal mucosa.Keywords: smokers, leukoedema Abstrak: Perokok ditemukan pada hampir semua kelompok masyarakat di dunia.

Abstract: Smoking can lead to a variety of systemic diseases as well as abnormal signs in the oral cavity inter alia smoker’s melanosis. This study was aimed to obtain the description of smoking habit and the occurrence of smoker’s melanosis in general viewed from three smoking indicators, as follows: frequency of smoking, duration of smoking, and types of cigarettes. This was a literature review study. There were 22 literatures consisting of 20 cross sectional studies dan 2 case control studies. The results showed that smoker’s melanosis was more frequent in smokers than in non smokers. Based on the frequency of smoking, smoker’s melanosis was most frequent in heavy smokers, followed by moderate smokers, and light smokers. Based on the duration of smoking, smoker’s melanosis was most frequent in 10-year smokers, followed by 5-to-10-year smokers, and less-than-five-year smokers. Based on the types of cigarettes, smoker’s melanosis was most frequent in smokers of clove/non filter cigarette, followed by smokers of white/filter cigarette, and smokers of both types of cigarette. In conclusion, smoker’s melanosis was more frequent in smokers than in non smokers. The majority of cases were heavy smokers, had duration of smoking more than 10 years, and the type of cigarette consumed was clove/non filter cigarette.Keywords: cigarettes, smoker’s melanosis. Abstrak: Merokok dapat berdampak buruk bagi kesehatan.

Abstract Background Cautious use or avoidance of hyponatraemia-inducing medications (HIMs) is recommended in older patients with hyponatraemia. Objective To evaluate the use of HIMs after treatment for symptomatic or severe hyponatraemia and to investigate the impact of HIMs on the recurrence of symptomatic or severe hyponatraemia in older patients. Design and settings A cross-sectional and nested case–control study using data obtained from national insurance claims databases. Methods The rate of prescribing HIMs during the 3 months before and after the established index date was analysed in a cross-sectional analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between HIM use and recurrence of symptomatic or severe hyponatraemia after adjusting for covariates in a case–control study. Results The cross-sectional study included 1,072 patients treated for symptomatic or severe hyponatraemia. The proportion of patients prescribed any HIMs after hyponatraemia treatment decreased from 76.9 to 70.1%. The prescription rates significantly decreased for thiazide diuretics (from 41.9 to 20.8%) and desmopressin (from 8.6 to 4.0%), but the proportion of patients prescribed antipsychotics increased from 9.2 to 17.1%. Of 32,717 patients diagnosed with hyponatraemia, 913 (2.8%) showed recurrent hyponatraemia. After adjusting for comorbid conditions, the use of any HIMs including proton pump inhibitors [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15–1.57] and two or more HIMs (aOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.22–1.78) especially in combination with thiazide diuretics increased the likelihood of severe hyponatraemia recurrence. Conclusions Prevalent use of HIMs after treatment for symptomatic or severe hyponatraemia and multiple HIM use increase the risk of recurrent hyponatraemia in geriatric patients.

Recurrent concussions increase risk for persistent post-concussion symptoms, and may lead to chronic neurocognitive deficits. Little is known about the molecular pathways that contribute to persistent concussion symptoms. We hypothesized that salivary measurement of microribonucleic acids (miRNAs), a class of epitranscriptional molecules implicated in concussion pathophysiology, would provide insights about the molecular cascade resulting from recurrent concussions. This hypothesis was tested in a case-control study involving 13 former professional football athletes with a history of recurrent concussion, and 18 age/sex-matched peers. Molecules of interest were further validated in a cross-sectional study of 310 younger individuals with a history of no concussion (n = 230), a single concussion (n = 56), or recurrent concussions (n = 24). There was no difference in neurocognitive performance between the former professional athletes and their peers, or among younger individuals with varying concussion exposures. However, younger individuals without prior concussion outperformed peers with prior concussion on three balance assessments. Twenty salivary miRNAs differed (adj. p < 0.05) between former professional athletes and their peers. Two of these (miR-28-3p and miR-339-3p) demonstrated relationships (p < 0.05) with the number of prior concussions reported by younger individuals. miR-28-3p and miR-339-5p may play a role in the pathophysiologic mechanism involved in cumulative concussion effects.

In health sciences, the epidemiological method can be divided into descriptive and analytical epidemiology and the latter being divided into observational (cross-sectional study, case-control study and cohort study) and experimental studies. Cohort studies may be retrospective or prospective, and both assume that the researcher will follow a population over time to seek a possible association between exposure (s) and outcome(s). These types of studies have as advantages the possibility of measuring several exposure factors and outcomes, both primary and secondary, for both relatively frequent outcomes and rare exposure factors. However, they are often long and therefore expensive studies. They have as main biases those of selection, memory and information. These are studies that may point to statistical associations between exposure and outcome that need other models to prove the casualty of these associations.

Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide, and balance impairments are common disabling factors in patients with stroke, leading to falls. Thus, the study objectives were as follows: (i) To find the prevalence of balance impairment among patients with stroke. (ii) To find out the factors associated with balance impairment in patients with stroke. This cross-sectional retrospective case control study involved eighty-one post stroke patients with a mean age of 58.36 ± 14.06, recruited from six hospitals, who underwent an assessment of balance, walking speed, depression and isometric strength of the ankle and knee. These patients were later categorized into subjects with good balance (<45) in the Berg balance scale (BBS) and those with poor balance (≥45), as cases and controls, to assess the factors associated with balance impairment using binary logistic regression. The prevalence of balance impairment among patients with stroke was 48.1%. The reduction in power of knee flexors (OR = 0.858), knee extensors (OR = 0.880) and ankle dorsiflexors (OR = 0.820) was found to be significantly associated with balance impairment, along with speed (OR = 1.187 (95% CI = 1.100, 1.280)), depression (OR = 1.331 (95% CI = 1.055–1.679)) and activities of daily living (OR = 0.313 (95% CI = 0.150–0.650)). In summary, around half of the patients with stroke exhibited balance impairments, with females being more prone.
