Stimulants01:29

Stimulants

258
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

920
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

292
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.

Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

7.8K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

449
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Public Health
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use, commonly known as vaping, has gained widespread popularity.
  • There is a growing concern regarding the potential adverse effects of vaping on oral health.
  • The link between vaping and oral cancer risk requires thorough investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current scientific evidence on the detrimental impacts of vaping on oral health.
  • To evaluate the association between e-cigarette use and the risk of developing oral cancer.
  • To equip Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) practitioners with up-to-date information for patient education.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of recent scientific literature.
  • Analysis of studies investigating vaping's effects on oral tissues.
  • Examination of epidemiological data on oral cancer rates among vapers.

Main Results:

  • Evidence indicates that e-cigarette use is not harmless and carries oral health risks.
  • Vaping is associated with various deleterious effects on the oral cavity.
  • Emerging data suggests a potential increased risk of oral cancer linked to vaping.

Conclusions:

  • Vaping poses significant threats to oral health.
  • The risk of oral cancer may be elevated in individuals who vape.
  • OMFS practitioners should be informed to advise patients about the oral health risks of vaping.
