This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between oral hygiene care behavior and oral hygiene status in early adolescents. The study tested a conceptual model using data from 391 students in Thailand. The results showed that the hypothesized causal model was a good fit for the data. Behavioral modification had the strongest direct effect on oral hygiene care behavior. Knowledge, attitudes, perceived threats, and cues to action also indirectly influenced oral hygiene care behavior. The study provides insight into factors that affect oral hygiene practices in early adolescents.
Objective: To know the reliability and validity of child perceptions questionnaire among 11-14 years old children. Methodology: The clinical data on caries status, malocclusion, dental opacities and gingivitis were collected among 90 school children aged 11-14 years who also completed the child perceptions questionnaire that included 37 items enquiring about impacts on four health domains (subscales). Results: An acceptable internal consistency with the Cronbach’s alpha for the total scale was 0.87 and ranged from 0.59 to 0.83 for the subscales. 0.83 (95% CI=0.76-0.90) intraclass correlation coefficient on repeated application of the measure suggested perfect agreement. Conclusion: Evaluation of the child perceptions questionnaire on oral health related quality of life among school children with various orofacial conditions in Mysore city showed acceptable reliability and construct validity. It also indicated that the impact of the child oral and oro-facial conditions on the functional and psychosocial well-being was significant, and that children were able to give psychometrically acceptable accounts of that impact.

Oral Health–Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents of Indian pop...Dr. Anuj S Parihar
Background: Kids and teenagers are more prone to oral diseases. Poor oral health has a significant impact on oral well-being–associated quality of life. Thus, we performed an investigation to examine the outcome of oral health status on
the quality of life of children and adolescents in Indian population, by using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14).
Materials and Methods: A total of 100 children, ranging between 1 and 19 years of age who attended Indian hospitals from November 2016 to October 2019, were included in the study. The DMFT Index (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) and OHIP-14 were used as data collection tools. Association of the total OHIP-14 score and seven subscales associated with it was evaluated using Spearman’s correlations.
Results: The results showed statistically noteworthy association between the toothbrushing regularity, number of dental appointments, history of oral trauma, smoking, and subdomains of OHIP-14 (P < 0.05)
Conclusion: Dental and oral health of an individual has a great impact on their quality of life.
Dental Myth, Fallacies and Misconceptions and its Association with Socio-Dent...DrRipika Sharma
Introduction: It is important to know about the myths and misconceptions, especially in India, where general and oral health is
embroiled in various myths and ritualistic practices.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of dental myth and utilizes socio-dental impact
locus of control scale (SILOC) health model, as the theoretical framework to understand the dental myth and belief and possible
reasons for noncompliance with recommended health action.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by the out-patients attending dental institute, in Bengaluru
city. A total of 150 individuals were included, data were collected using a pretested and validated three-part questionnaire
including demographic data, questions regarding dental myth, and seven items SILOC. Data obtained were statistically analyzed
using descriptive statistics, t-test, and spearman’s rank correlation.
Results: Almost all the participant believed in one or more dental myth. About 71.3% of the participant had high (≥11) SILOC
scores. Statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) was found between mean SILOC scores and gender with males having
a lower mean score (14.94) as compared to females (18.62). When SILOC scores and myth scores were compared against
socioeconomic status, it showed statistically significant difference (P < 0.001), between them. The SILOC scores highly correlated
with myth scores.
Conclusion: Various dental myth and false perception still lurk in the minds of the population, to discourage the unhealthy
practices; we the health professionals have to provide intensive health education and promote the adoption of healthy practices.
It would be prudent to familiarize professionals to understand these myths and beliefs as they act as barriers toward seeking
treatment.

Background- Oral health is a multi-factorial concept, determined by knowledge, behavior, and attitude of a person. Like any behavior carried out daily like a habit, oral health behaviors are also repeated like a habit. The multidimensionality of behavioral change makes studying it, and factors associated with it, a challenge, since there are so many aspects to consider. Objectives- To find an association between the oral health status and socio-behavioral factors among 12-15 years old school children of Belagavi city, India. Methods- A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to find an association between the oral health status and the knowledge, attitude and behavior of adolescents. One thousand participants were selected using two-stage random sampling. Dental caries, bleeding on probing, dental trauma, enamel fluorosis, intervention urgency was recorded according to the WHO 2013 proforma and the parameters regarding knowledge, attitudes as well as behavior using a closed ended self-designed questionnaire. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis, and linear correlation tests were done. Results- Among 1000 subjects, 767 (76.7%) participants were found to have dental caries and 512 (51.2%) showed the presence of gingival bleeding. Out of a total score of 41, the mean knowledge score was 34.47 (±3.84) for boys and 34.76 (±4.13) for girls. Linear correlation showed that attitude was weakly correlated (r=0.18 and 0.20 respectively) but with a strong statistical significance to knowledge as well as behavior respectively. Conclusion- Attitude when compared separately either with knowledge or behavior showed a weak correlation that was highly significant. Comparison of behavior with caries experience showed a weak negative correlation which was statistically insignificant.

An Epidemiological Data of Oral Health Status and Treatment Needs in Pamulapadu Village of Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India: An Original Research
Abstract— Dental diseases are health problem of developing countries mainly because of the fact that in developing countries these diseases are given less importance. People also not much bothered about children's personal hygiene and dental diseases until it leads to toothache and disability. And at this time it may lead to complication and expensive treatment. So a community based study was conducted in rural area of Jaipur district to find out the association between dental diseases and personal hygiene. From schools of Amer tahsil of Jaipur district 1600 students were examined for dental diseases and interrogated and observed for personal hygiene. Association of personal hygiene with dental diseases like Dental Carries, Dental Fluorosis, Malocclusion and Periodontitis was found out with chi-square test. It was revealed that Dental diseases like Dental Carries, Dental Fluorosis, Malocclusion and peridontitis all are associated with personal hygiene. Dental carries increases as the personal hygiene worsen and likewise same was observed with Malocclusion but Dental Fluorosis was observed in inverse direction mean as the personal hygiene improves the chances to have Dental Fluorosis increases. Periodontal it was found significantly more when personal hygiene of child is either poor or good, when it is fair chances of having Periodontal diseases were significantly less.
Impact of school-based dental program performance on the oral health-related ...UniversitasGadjahMada
This study was done in order to assess the association between the performance of school-based dental programs (SBDPs) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in
school children, in the province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, taking into account untreated caries and sociodemographic factors. A cross-sectional survey was administered with 1906 children aged 12 and participating in SBDPs. Four SBDPs were chosen to represent good and poor performance in urban and rural areas. Caries was assessed using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, whereas the children were interviewed for the OHRQoL and sociodemographic data. The OHRQoL was assessed using the Condition-Specific Child-Oral Impact on Daily Performances (CS Child-OIDP) index related to dental caries. The results revealed that the mean CS Child-OIDP score was 1.63 (SD 3.20) for good performance SBDP and 6.89 (SD 8.85) for poor performance SBDP. Analysis by negative binomial regression showed that being served by a poorly performing SBDP (RR = 4.45, 95% CI = 3.87–5.13), and to some extent living in a rural area and being a girl, were significantly associated with a greater risk of having a lower quality of life than were the counterparts. Untreated caries did not show an association with OHRQoL. In conclusion, there are substantial indications that SBDP performance is related to children’s OHRQoL.
EFFECTIVENESS OF SCHOOL DENTAL SCREENING, PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND HEALTH EDUC...DrRipika Sharma
Introduction: The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of school screening, parental knowledge and health education in
stimulating dental attendance among 6 to 10 years old children.
Material and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out, with a sample size of 155 in each group. The study was conducted over a
period of 3 months, baseline clinical findings were assessed using dentition status and plaque index and knowledge of parents was evaluated using a
questionnaire in both the groups. The study group participants received oral health education and educational leaflets were distributed to the
parents. Further after 3 months, the post-intervention improvement was assessed as before. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version
22. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the data.
Results: The overtime changes in oral health knowledge of parents were significantly different in the study group (p-value <0.001). Highly
significant reduction in Plaque scores was reported in the study group compared to control group (p-value <0.001). Overall there were no
significant differences in DMFT and dmft increments between the groups. The intervention was not effective at reducing the level of active caries
and increasing attendance in the population under study.
Conclusion: Even though the intervention had positive effects on plaque score and and on oral health knowledge of parents, but the rate of
utilization was low. We need additional efforts addressing another individual, family, and community level factors to make such programs more
fruitful

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Good afternoon everyone, I would like to present my research topic about A Causal Relationship Model of Oral Hygiene Care Behavior and the Oral Hygiene Status of Early Adolescents
This is outline of my presentation, Today ^^
Oral diseases, especially dental caries and gingivitis is one of the important public health problems
Because it’s effect on the chronic painfulness, mental health, personality, vocalization , life performance ,children’s malnutrition and learning problems
Moreover, it’s also influent on economic and social impact.
In my research topic , I’m focusing on 12th yrs old or 7th grade students.
Because this group is a risky group for oral diseases, the prevalence of disease is high and increased, and it’s no surveillance program in secondary school.
And the prevalence rate of disease among this group is a predictor of problem among future adults also.
We know that, the cause of the oral health problem come from oral hygiene care behavior.
A proper oral hygiene care can prevent dental caries, gingivitis and the loss of permanent teeth.
But, in Thailand the student did not pay attention about their oral hygiene.
From the Thailand National Dental Health Survey, 2012 . show that, more than 80% of children aged 12 do not brushed their teeth more than twice a day and not brush after they having snack.
Ortherthan that , we have a few behavioral science study about relationship of oral hygiene care behavior and factor related in this age group
The purposes of this study were
to examine consistency of a hypothetical causal relationship model of oral hygiene care behavior with empirical data and
the influence of causal relationship factors related oral hygiene care behavior in early adolescent group
There are several theories on how health behavior is established;
different theories have dominated in different eras.
Nevertheless, no theory so far has been able to explain fully how oral health behavior can be changed in the long term ,
My research topic has focused on some theory that related the health behavior
Such as the parts of the health belief model, Self-efficacy and self-control theoryof Albert Bandura
and the principles of action competence: KAP model
The first theory that related //is Health Belief Model. This theory is one of the most well-known and widely used theories in health behavior research.
it explain that behavior can best be understood, if beliefs about health are clear.
The model predicts that// individuals will act to protect or promote their health if they believe that.
For example, if the Health Belief Model was applied to prevent the spread of oral disease,
individuals would be more likely to oral hygiene care behavior if they believe that:
1. they are at risk of oral disease 2. the consequences of the oral disease are serious 3. oral hygiene care behavior (e.g., eating and brushing) are effective in reducing the risk of oral disease 4. and the benefits of oral hygiene care behavior outweigh the potential costs and barriers
Self-Efficacy and cue to action was added to the four components of the health belief model in 1988.
It’s added to the model in an attempt to better explain individual differences in health behaviors. The model was originally developed in order to explain engagement in one-time health-related behaviors such as being screened for cancer or receiving an immunization. Eventually, the health belief model was applied to more substantial, long-term behavior change such as diet modification, exercise, and also tooth brushing.
Developers of the model recognized that confidence in one's ability to effect change in outcomes (i.e., self-efficacy) was a key component of health behavior change.
And a stimulus, or cue to action, must also be present in order to trigger the health-promoting behavior also.
Next theory, we used the Social learning cognitive theory of bandura
-The Social cognitive theory emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions
- This theory focuses on learning by observation and modeling.
- And now includes many of the ideas that cognitivists some times called social cognitive learning theory.
- This theory showed how both environmental and cognitive factors interact to influence human learning and behavior.
A Social Cognitive Theory of Bandura (1986) advanced a view of human functioning that accords a central role to cognitive, self-regulatory, and self-reflective processes in human adaptation and change
Reciprocal causation: behavior can also influence both the environment and the person. Each of the three variables: environment, person, behavior influence each other. (p, be, e)
Self efficacy: Self efficacy means learners self confidence towards learning. People are more likely to engage in certain behaviors when they believe they are capable of implementing those behaviors successfully, this means that they have high self-efficacy.
Self regulation: Self-regulation is when the individual has his own ideas about what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior and chooses actions accordingly. There are several aspects of self regulation.
Next concept we used K-A-P model to explained oral health behavior
This theory has described the concept of action competence for health.
The component including – Knowledge – attitude and practice
It’s very important that we should motivate patients to adopt attitudes based on their newly acquired knowledge and experience
and especially to demonstrate new ways of converting the new knowledge into action or practice.
From the relationships between the various theories that we used, we conduct the conceptual framework
that the same as a hypothetical causal relationship model of oral hygiene care behavior
Collect data from 391 students, Nakhon-Nayok Province, selected through the stratified random sampling method.
Seven latent variables of the study were measured from 15 observed variables.
The instrument used for collecting data was
6-point rating scale questionnaires : 13 variables
Oral examination sheet: 2 variables
We used 6-point rating scale questionnaires for 13 observed variables.
We used Oral Hygiene Skill Achievement Index or S.A.I indexes for tooth brushing behavior variable.
And we used Debris indexes for Oral hygiene status variable.
The step of the collect data, first student do the questionnaire
And second, The plaque debris check-up
And the last, evaluated tooth brushing practice by S.A.I Indexes
After that,
Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and examined for consistency of hypothetical a causal model with empirical data using LISREL program.
the hypothetical a causal model was consistent with empirical data
χ2 = 132.87, df = 75, p-value = 0.001, χ2/ df = 1.77; RMSEA = 0.044; RMR = 0.053; CFI = 0.94; AGFI = 0.93; GFI = 0.96
The variables that directly effected oral hygiene care was behavioral modification; their standardized path coefficient was .54 respectively.
The variables that indirectly effected to oral hygiene care behavior were knowledge in oral hygiene and oral diseases, attitude toward oral health care, perceived threatened diseases and cues to actions; their standardized path coefficients were .13 .45, -.32 and .10 respectively.
The result of this study showed that,
the hypothetical a causal model was consistent with empirical data with fit statistics;
χ2 = 132.87, df = 75, p-value = 0.001, χ2/ df = 1.77; RMSEA = 0.044; RMR = 0.053; CFI = 0.94; AGFI = 0.93; GFI = 0.96
The directly effected oral hygiene care was behavior modification; their standardized path coefficient was .54
indirectly effected to oral hygiene care behavior were knowledge in oral hygiene and oral diseases, attitude toward oral health care, perceived threatened diseases and cues to actions; their standardized path coefficients were .13 .45, -.32 and .10 respectively.
This table is show that,
The direct, indirect and total effect of various factor that related the oral hygiene care behavior
Discussion
-The causal relationship model of oral hygiene care behaviors by hypothetical is matched with the empirical data after adjust model
Please looking at the table, all fit index after adjusting model is better than before adjusting model
my recommendation for Future study
should be add a Qualitative research techniques such as the in-depth interviews and participatory observation
in the students group
For find the meaning and terms of the factors that related oral hygiene care behaviors
This study focus on group of students in Nakhon Nayok province that represent the urban area in Thailand
The result of this study may be used to describe the phenomenon is limited
so in order to verify the ability of the model to be used to describe this phenomenon among secondary school students in thailand
We need a Further research
Future study should examine the invariance of the model in a group of students in urban and upcountry with.
The conclusion is…..
The hypothetical a causal model was consistent with empirical data
And The knowledge in oral hygiene and oral diseases factor, attitude toward oral health care factor, perceived threatened diseases, and cues to actions and behavioral modification factor can explained the variance of oral hygiene care behavior
For the implications
In the future, We should create a experimental study about effect of behavior modification program that using self-efficacy and self-control as part of a behavior modification program for change the oral hygiene care behavior in early adolescent.
It’s useful in generating new knowledge for prevent and control tooth decay and gum disease in secondary school children in Thailand
