PROGNOSIS |
Intellectual disability is not curable; and yet, the prognostic in general terms is good when using the emotional wellbeing of the individual as a parameter. |
CONCLUSIONS |
Intellectual disability should be treated in a comprehensive manner. Nevertheless, currently, the fundamental task and perhaps the only one that applies is the detection of the limitation and abilities as a function of subjects age and expectations for the future, with the only goal being to provide the support necessa... |

AIM |
To determine the cross-sectional association of the osteoporotic status of patients with the number of their teeth, with and without taking into account age and/or smoking. |
MATERIAL & METHODS |
At four centres, the study recruited 665 females aged 45-70 years and the number of teeth was counted for 651 subjects. Bone density was measured at the total hip, femoral neck and lumbar spine. |
RESULTS |
The mean number of teeth in the osteoporotic subjects was 3.3 fewer than normal subjects and 2.1 fewer if those with no teeth were excluded. The association between osteoporosis and having <6 or having <28 teeth remained significant after adjusting for age, smoking and centre with p-values of 0.016 and 0.011, respectiv... |
CONCLUSIONS |
We have established a significant association between osteoporosis and tooth loss after adjusting the effect for age and smoking.Knowledge retention among six-year students in internal medicine in the context of distance learning |
