Summary
Age and sex are significant predictors of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Older age and female sex increase the likelihood of developing BMS, with psychological disorders and candidiasis also playing a role.
Area of Science:
- Oral Medicine
- Dermatology
- Psychosomatic Medicine
Background:
- Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is characterized by oral burning sensations without clinical signs.
- Various factors have been implicated in the etiology of BMS.
- The specific roles of demographic and clinical factors require further elucidation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the influence of age and sex on the occurrence of burning mouth syndrome.
- To identify key predictors associated with BMS.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 195 patients diagnosed with BMS and 95 healthy controls were analyzed.
- Logistic regression models were employed to determine significant predictors of BMS.
- Patient data included clinical history, demographics, and relevant medical conditions.
Main Results:
- Multivariate analysis revealed age (OR=1.12) and sex (OR=3.14) as significant predictors of BMS.
- Psychological disorders (OR=3.39) and candidiasis were also strongly associated with BMS.
- A predictive model indicated a 60-year-old woman with psychological disorders is 25 times more likely to have BMS than a younger man without these conditions.
Conclusions:
- Age and sex are primary predictors for burning mouth syndrome.
- Psychological disorders and candidiasis are significantly linked to BMS development.
- These findings highlight the multifactorial nature of BMS and identify key risk factors.

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

01:24Finding Volume Using Cross-Sectional Area
68
For solids whose cross-sectional areas vary in a predictable way, volume can be determined by integrating these areas along an axis perpendicular to the slices. This approach is particularly useful for polyhedral solids, where classical geometric formulas may not be immediately applicable. A tetrahedron provides a clear example of how cross-sectional integration can be applied to a three-dimensional object with continuously changing geometry.Consider a tetrahedron with height h and a base that...

1.6K
Profile leveling and cross-sections are surveying methods used to determine and document terrain elevations for infrastructure projects such as highways, railroads, canals, and pipelines. These methods provide data for earthwork planning and alignment of proposed routes. Profile leveling involves measuring elevations along a fixed line to create a vertical terrain profile. A surveyor sets up a leveling instrument at the benchmark (BM) and records a backsight (BS) to determine the...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
1.2K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

4.8K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
