How much Fluoride for 0-6 mos.
<0.3ppm
0.3-0.6ppm
>0.06 PPm
0 for all
How much Fluoride for 6mos-3 years
<0.3ppm
0.3-0.6ppm
>0.06 PPm
0 for all
How much Fluoride for 3yrs-6yrs
<0.3ppm
0.3-0.6ppm
>0.06 PPm
<0.3ppm= 0.5mg of fluoride
0.3-00.6ppm= 0.25 mg
>0.6ppm = 0 mg
How much Fluoride for 6yr-16yrs
<0.3ppm
0.3-0.6ppm
>0.06 PPm
<0.3ppm = 1 mg
0.3-0.6ppm = 0.5mg
>0.06 PPm= 0 mg
If the odds ratio equals 1, the exposure …..?
Does not affect the odds of the outcome
If the odds ratio is greater than 1, the exposure ……?
Is associated with increased odds of the outcome
If the odds ratio is less than 1, the exposure ……?
is associated with decreased odds of the outcome
______ are numeric variables that are obtained by counting and taking a value based on a count from a set of distinct whole values. These variables cannot take the value of a fraction between one value and the next closest value. Since the presence or absence of oral cancer is not measured on a numerical score.
Dsicrete Variables
_______ are numeric variables that are obtained by measuring and can therefore take any value between a certain set of real numbers. The value given for a continuous variable can be as small as the instrument of measurement allows. Since the presence or absence of oral cancer is not measured on a numerical score.
COntinuous Variables
________ are organized by ordering or ranking of groups. In the case of oral cancer screening, the presence or absence of the disease is not affected by rank. Since there is no clear order of the outcome.
Ordinal Variables
_______ also known as dichotomous variables, are variables that can only take on two possible values or categories. Examples include yes/no outcomes, heads/tails in a coin flips, and win/loss in a competition. In this case, oral cancer can either be present or absent during the screening process and can only take on those two distinct categories.
Binary
What is the ideal upper limit for fluoride concentration in community water as determined by research?
0.7ppm
Nitroglycerin is a prodrug that is converted to nitric oxide (NO) which then activates the enzyme ______ ______ leading to relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, and subsequently arteriolar and venous dilation.
guanylyl cyclase
A corelationCoefficient of 1=
1: a strong positive association exists
A corelationCoefficient of 0=
no association exists
A corelationCoefficient of -1=
a strong negative association exists
What is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS),
a severe skin reaction caused by a reaction to medications or an illness.
_______ is a severe skin hypersensitivity reaction to a medication or illness and is a lesser form of toxic epidermal necrolysis.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
_______ is most commonly caused by coxsackievirus and is self-limiting, resolving on its own over a short period of time.
Hand foot mouth
___________ can cause a viral infection of herpes simplex, resulting in small blisters called cold sores or fever blisters or sore throat that resolves over time. Herpes infections are categorized based on the body part infected (i.e. oral, hands, etc).
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)
__________ is a highly contagious disease that includes symptoms of fever, cough, runny nose, and inflamed eyes. It is caused by the measles virus.
Rubeola, otherwise known as measles
_______________ can cause infections, most of which are asymptomatic and resolve over a few years. However, in some cases, HPV infections may lead to warts or precancerous lesions. Depending on the location of the lesion, these infections may increase the risk of cancers, such as cervical and oropharyngeal cancers.
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
What two drugs are prescribed to multiple myeloma patients?
Dexamethasone and Bisphos
Dexamethasone stops white blood cells from traveling to areas that are damaged by cancerous myeloma cells and can even kill them in higher dosages.
Bisphosphonates inhibit the progression of osteoclastic activity thus reducing skeletal complications related to multiple myeloma.
______ = in a statistical study is one that proposes that there is no significant difference in the outcomes of the study groups.
Null Hypothesis
