Prenatal tobacco and postbirth second-hand smoke exposure and dental caries in children.

Objectives: Second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure has been identified as a risk factor for several childhood health problems including dental caries. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of postbirth SHS exposure and dental caries and to determine whether the association is independent of prenatal tobacco exposure, sugar consumption and dental utilization.

Methods: NHANES 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 were used to examine the research question in 1733 children, 4-11 years old with full primary or mixed dentition and serum cotinine levels below 10 ng/mL.

Patterns of Current Cigarette Smoking, Quit Attempts and Cessation Counseling among Survivors of Smoking-Related and Nonsmoking-Related Urological Malignancies: A Nationally Representative Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Purpose: Cigarette smoking is the leading modifiable risk factor for several genitourinary malignancies. Although smoking cessation after genitourinary cancer diagnosis is a critical component of survivorship, factors related to continued smoking are under studied.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health Interview Survey (2014-2018).

Carcinogen Biomarkers in the Urine of Electronic Cigarette Users and Implications for the Development of Bladder Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Context: Use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has rapidly increased despite unclear longitudinal health effects. Once thought to be a safer alternative to tobacco smoke, it is possible that e-cigarettes expose the user to similar carcinogenic byproducts during the vaping process. These toxicants are metabolized and excreted in the urine, and may have oncogenic implications for bladder urothelium.

Development of a tongue-tie case definition in newborns using a Delphi survey: The NYU-Tongue-Tie Case Definition.

Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to develop an operational definition of the oral condition of ankyloglossia (also called tongue-tie) that occurs in newborns (i.e., age birth-6 months) and that could consistently be used in research studies.

Delayed tooth emergence in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus.

Objective: There is limited evidence that early deficits in growth might be reflected in tooth emergence in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate tooth emergence timing between children positive and negative for HIV in the exposed and unexposed groups, respectively.

Study Design: A longitudinal study of children positive for HIV and HIV-negative household peers, aged 2 to 15 years was conducted between 1993 and 1996.

Skills in assessing the professional literature (SAPL): a 7-year analysis of student EBD performance.

Purpose: The primary goal of this project was to describe the level of knowledge acquisition using detailed test performance outcomes of the EBD SAPL curriculum over its first 7-years of implementation at the NYU College of Dentistry. A secondary goal was to compare performance outcomes impact of the full 60 h base SAPL curriculum as taught to 4-year DDS students vs an abbreviated 30 h base SAPL curriculum as taught to 3-year Advanced Placement DDS students.

Methods: The findings for the period 2004-2010 are reported for 1647 dental students (63.

Use of Ayurvedic diagnostic criteria in Ayurvedic clinical trials: a literature review focused on research methods.

Objectives: The objective of this literature review is to evaluate whether Ayurvedic diagnostic criteria or Western medicine diagnostic criteria have been used in published clinical trials testing an Ayurvedic intervention/treatment.

Design: The PubMed, Embase, and Allied and Complementary Medicine databases were searched to identify Ayurvedic clinical trials published from 1980 to 2009. A total of 45 Ayurvedic clinical trials were identified and grouped into two time periods: pre- and post-2000 periods.
