BACKGROUND Before strategies or protocols for oral health care can be advised at population level, epidemiological information on tooth decay patterns and its effects on oral function are indispensable. The aim of this study was to investigate influences of socio-demographic variables on the prevalence of decayed, missing, filled (DMF) and sound teeth (St) and to determine the relative risk of ...

AIMS To assess awareness of heart failure (HF) management recommendations in Europe among cardiologists (C), internists and geriatricians (I/G), and primary care physicians (PCPs). METHODS AND RESULTS The Study group on HF Awareness and Perception in Europe (SHAPE) surveyed randomly selected C (2041), I/G (1881), and PCP (2965) in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spai...

PURPOSE Visual-span profiles are plots of letter-recognition accuracy as a function of letter position left and right of the point of fixation. Legge, Mansfield, and Chung [Legge, G. E., Mansfield, J. S., & Chung, S. T. L. (2001). Psychophysics of reading-XX. Linking letter recognition to reading speed in central and peripheral vision. Vision Research, 41(6), 725-743] proposed that reduced size...

BACKGROUND Europe has a growing population of ethnic minority groups whose dietary behaviours are potentially of public health concern. To promote healthier diets, the factors driving dietary behaviours need to be understood. This review mapped the broad range of factors influencing dietary behaviour among ethnic minority groups living in Europe, in order to identify research gaps in the litera...

CASE REPORT The marker was ascertained during cytogenetic diagnosis of a 5 year old girl with marked developmental delay and mild facial dysmorphism. Body measurements were birth length 49 cm, birth weight 2965 g, and OFC 34 cm. At the age of 8.5 years, height was 131 cm, and weight was 37 kg (>97th centile) as a result of hyperphagia which developed two years ago. Dysmorphic signs included hyp...

The authors began the study of cytokines or the so-called plasma activators of the acute inflammatory reaction in infections in September 1997. As far back as with the origina report describing the Chagas’ Disease (CD), Carlos Chagas (1911)3,4 , Gaspar Vianna (1911)15 and Okumura (1967)11 interpreted the etiopathogenesis of the Chagas’ Disease as follows. The first event is the invasion of the ...
