The aim is to determine the topography of toothlessness within the population of Mostar, according to Kennedy classification. The aim is to connect measures of socioeconomic status with the appearance of the toothlessness. To develop a model that includes a form of toothlessness and the socioeconomic status of the patients in Mostar. Subjects and methods: The study was conducted at the Health Center in Mostar and the Regional Medical Center in Mostar. The research was cross-sectional study. It included 800 patients who regularlyoccurred to the dental ambulance because of the toothlessness and because of the prosthodontics treatment. The measurement was conducted by the dentist based on the anonymous research cardboard at the first examination of the patient. The dentist will determine the topography of the toothlessness according to Kennedy classification and the etiology of the toothlessness. Results: In the total sample of respondents, the toothlessness was significantly higher represented (P<0.001). The manifestation of thetoothlessness was significantly higher among temporary employees and the retirees (P<0.001). In the total sample, toothless- ness affected the sociological status of a higher percentage of the respondents (P<0.001). Conclusion: In our study, in a total sample of respondents, toothlessness was significantly higher represented (90% of respondents). The influence on the sociological status of the patient is most visible in the groups with the lower material status.

The Biology of Marine Mammals Aldemaro Romero, Ph.D. Arkansas State University Jonesboro, AR 2009 2 INTRODUCTION Dear students, 3 Chapter 1 Introduction to Marine Mammals 1.1. Overture Humans have always been fascinated with marine mammals. These creatures have been the basis of mythical tales since Antiquity. For centuries naturalists classified them as fish. Today they are symbols of the environmental movement as well as the source of heated controversies: whether we are dealing with the clubbing pub seals in the Arctic or whaling by industrialized nations, marine mammals continue to be a hot issue in science, politics, economics, and ethics. But if we want to better understand these issues, we need to learn more about marine mammal biology. The problem is that, despite increased research efforts, only in the last two decades we have made significant progress in learning about these creatures. And yet, that knowledge is largely limited to a handful of species because they are either relatively easy to observe in nature or because they can be studied in captivity. Still, because of television documentaries, ‘coffee-table’ books, displays in many aquaria around the world, and a growing whale and dolphin watching industry, people believe that they have a certain familiarity with many species of marine mammals (for more on the relationship between humans and marine mammals such as whales, see Ellis 1991, Forestell 2002). As late as 2002, a new species of beaked whale was being reported (Delbout et al. 2002), in 2003 a new species of baleen whale was described (Wada et al.

  • Dentists Could Play a Future Role in Diagnosing Diabetes
    Dentists Could Play a Future Role in Diagnosing Diabetes By David Stack It is often assumed that a dentist’s influence is limited to the mouth. However, dentists can play an important role in diagnosing systematic disease. New research shows that routine dental exams can find evidence of early diabetes, which allows dentists to help patients avoid serious health problems through early diagnosis. While it is widely known that high body mass index (BMI) is associated with diabetes, it is often less reported that there can be serious periodontal risks as well. A study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association demonstrated that patients who had undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (UDM) were much more likely to also suffer from periodontal diseases. Diabetes impacts nearly 425 million people disease in every APP designated level of severity. globally, and it represents a major cause of damage to These observed outcomes are not isolated, and in the heart, extremities, and oral cavity. As such, the fact, the subJects were drawn from the Atherosclerosis authors of the research reported that since there is a Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, a “large significant association between diabetes, periodontal population-based longitudinal cohort that began in disease, and high BMI, it would be a significant 1987” to observe abnormalities in patients’ arterial contribution to the field of public health if dentists walls.
