Objective: This study investigated the association between periodontitis severity (exposure) and metabolic syndrome (MetS - outcome), using two criteria for diagnosis of the outcome, since this relationship remains unexplored.
Materials And Methods: A case-control study was conducted with 870 individuals: 408 with first MetS diagnosis (cases) and 462 without MetS (controls). Participants' general information was obtained using a questionnaire and laboratory data was collected from medical records.
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of an axillary surgical approach on overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer, a condition deemed incurable.
- Despite the evaluation, results revealed no significant link between the axillary surgical approach and survival rates for these patients.
- The study concluded that further research, particularly randomized clinical trials, is necessary to determine the long-term effects of locoregional therapies in this patient population.
Background: An association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease is now well documented; however, the effect of periodontitis severity levels on this outcome, specifically on acute myocardial infarction (AMI), remains unexplored. This study investigated the association between levels of periodontitis severity (exposure) and AMI (outcome).
Methods: This case-control study, matched by sex and age, was conducted with 621 participants, with 207 individuals treated in the emergency department of Santa Izabel and Ana Nery Hospitals in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, diagnosed with a first AMI event, and compared to 414 individuals without a diagnosis of AMI.
Objectives: This research evaluated the association between exposure to common mental disorder (CMD) and the presence of periodontitis.
Background: Common mental disorder is characterized by the presence of irritation, fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, decreased ability to concentrate, anxiety, and depression. It has been associated with several diseases; however, there are few studies that have associated it with periodontitis.
Objective: This study estimated the association between stress and periodontitis.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 621 individuals. Information about individuals was obtained through a questionnaire.
