Palisaded granulomatous dermatitis is an uncommon pathologic condition potentially associated with several disorders. These include drugs, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple myelomas, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. An illustrative case of a man with palisaded granulomatous dermatitis who subsequently developed ulcerative colitis is described, and the characteristics o...

Gains in oral health have been considerable in the last 50 years. However, by adolescence 68% of people have tooth decay and gingivitis is also prevalent, with 50% of US adults experiencing this around a minimum of three to four teeth. Brushing and flossing are typically considered to be the basic procedures required for good oral hygiene; yet oral hygiene is generally inadequately performed. P...

Periodontal pathogens have been linked with increased risk of systemic illness and complications in existing disease. Recently, several articles detailing these findings have been published, emphasizing the importance of the association between periodontitis and systemic health problems. In fact, a recent meta-analysis reports that oral infections have been shown to be associated statistically ...

although periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease but some factors of acute inflammation phase are involved in this disease among which is the c-reactive protein (crp). to minimize its effects, anti-inflammatory drugs or non-pharmacological approaches such as oral hygiene is recommended. crp can also be used for the prediction and early detection of periodontal disease. the aim of the pr...

epidermal growth factor (egf) is a polypeptide molecule, with important functions in epithelial growth and wound repair. it exerts its effects on cells by binding to receptors on the cell surface. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare salivary egf levels in patients with gingivitis and advanced periodontitis as well as in healthy controls.unstimulated salivary samples were collected...

Background: Gingivitis is an inflammatory reaction that occurs in gingival tissue. Based on 2018 RISKESDAS data, gingivitis case Indonesia reaches 13,9%. The prevalence of South Kalimantan higher than Indonesia’s, 14,2%. bad habit mantaining oral health causes plaque accumulation the marginal gingiva, which resulting gingivitis. said condition also affects disabled people, one blind people.

In this article, we formulate a semiparametric model for counting processes in which the effect of covariates is to transform the time scale for a baseline rate function. We assume an arbitrary dependence structure for the counting process and propose a class of estimating equations for the regression parameters. Asymptotic results for these estimators are derived. In addition, goodness of fit ...
