There are many factors that affect the health of your mouth including speech, chewing, aging, etc., and since it is extremely important that we keep them clean. There are many health problems that may affect the mouth, tongue, and gums, and in this article we will learn about a list of the most prominent of these problems and ways of dealing with them. Many people suffer from mouth problems, including Stomatitis and tongue (mouth ulcers and tongue, erosive ulcers, or aphthous ulcers), which is the appearance of small, painful ulcers inside the mouth that usually begin in childhood and recurrence frequently. In this paper an expert system is designed to help users correctly diagnose oral. OBJECTIVES: This paper will solve the problems of treatment for Stomatitis and tongue through correct diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: In this paper, we introduce an expert system for diagnosing Stomatitis and tongue that will help clinicians explore everything related to Stomatitis and tongue . We look forward to providing simplified answers. The proposed expert system for Stomatitis and tongue was applied using a disease diagnosis using the SL5 Object Expert System Language.

  • Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and Cereal-Derived Food Products: Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, and Control Strategies
    agronomy Review Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and Cereal-Derived Food Products: Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, and Control Strategies Sofia Agriopoulou Department of Food Science and Technology, University of the Peloponnese, Antikalamos, 24100 Kalamata, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-27210-45271 Abstract: Ergot alkaloids (EAs) are a group of mycotoxins that are mainly produced from the plant pathogen Claviceps. Claviceps purpurea is one of the most important species, being a major producer of EAs that infect more than 400 species of monocotyledonous plants. Rye, barley, wheat, millet, oats, and triticale are the main crops affected by EAs, with rye having the highest rates of fungal infection. The 12 major EAs are ergometrine (Em), ergotamine (Et), ergocristine (Ecr), ergokryptine (Ekr), ergosine (Es), and ergocornine (Eco) and their epimers ergotaminine (Etn), egometrinine (Emn), egocristinine (Ecrn), ergokryptinine (Ekrn), ergocroninine (Econ), and ergosinine (Esn). Given that many food products are based on cereals (such as bread, pasta, cookies, baby food, and confectionery), the surveillance of these toxic substances is imperative. Although acute mycotoxicosis by EAs is rare, EAs remain a source of concern for human and animal health as food contamination by EAs has recently increased. Environmental conditions, such as low temperatures and humid weather before and during flowering, influence contamination agricultural products by EAs, contributing to the Citation: Agriopoulou, S. Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and appearance of outbreak after the consumption of contaminated products. The present work aims to Cereal-Derived Food Products: present the recent advances in the occurrence of EAs in some food products with emphasis mainly Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, on grains and grain-based products, as well as their toxicity and control strategies.

  • Clinioal and Pathologioal Notes on Trenoh Nephritis
    CLINIOAL AND PATHOLOGIOAL NOTES ON TRENOH NEPHRITIS By W. H. TYTLER AND J. A. RYLE With Plates 1-4 THE condition known as 'trench nephritis' or 'war nephritis' has been the subject of so much investigation, and of so many contributions to the medical literature, that the mere routine clinical and pathological examination of a series of cases, carried out under the conditions of work at a Casualty Clearing Station, cannot be expected to add much that is new to the knowledge of the disease. The present paper makes no pretensions to a solution of the main problems of the subject, but has the object only of presenting the clinical features in a considerable number of cases observed during the early stages, and of putting on record the results of pathological examination in a series of cases which terminated fatally within the first three weeks of the disease. The clinical notes are based on a series of 150 cases, all of which were under the direct care of one of us (J. A. R.). They represent the cases of this type of nephritis admitted to one Casualty Clearing Station during the early months of 1916 'and the entire winter of 1916-17. They were all cases presenting con­ stitutional symptoms as well as albuminuria, no cases being included of the prevalent albuminuria without indisposition, and none of the so-called' lower tract ' cases. The fatal cases on which the autopsies reported were performed were collected from several Casualty Clearing Stations and field ambulances. For the opportunity of examining them we are indebted to the medical officers who had charge of them, Their names are too numerous to permit of individual acknowledgement.

A Descriptive Review M. Erriu1,*, F.M.G. Pili1, S. Cadoni2 and V. Garau1 1Department of Surgical Sciences, Cagliari University, Cagliari, Italy 2Digestive Endoscopy Unit, S. Barbara Hospital, Iglesias (CA), Italy Received: April 03, 2016 Revised: October 09, 2016 Accepted: October 15, 2016 Abstract: Atrophic glossitis is a condition characterised by absence of filiform or fungiform papillae on the dorsal surface of the tongue. Consequently, the ordinary texture and appearance of the dorsal tongue, determined by papillary protrusion, turns into a soft and smooth aspect. Throughout the years, many factors, both local and systemic, have been associated with atrophic glossitis as the tongue is currently considered to be a mirror of general health. Moreover, various tongue conditions were wrongly diagnosed as atrophic glossitis. Oral involvement can conceal underlying systemic conditions and, in this perspective, the role of clinicians is fundamental. Early recognition of oral signs and symptoms, through a careful examination of oral anatomical structures, plays a crucial role in providing patients with a better prognosis. Keywords: Atrophic tongue, Gastrointestinal disease, Infections, Nutritional deficiency, Systemic conditions. 1. INTRODUCTION Due to its proximity to the respiratory tract and its continuity with gastrointestinal system, as well as its participation in speech articulation, the oral cavity assumes a crucial role in many physiologic processes1, 2]. [ Additionally, a great variety of systemic disorders have been associated with specific or nonspecific oral changes and, in many circumstances, the oral cavity becomes an important diagnostic area.
