polyuria/dental caries

Saliva is an important factor upon which general health of the oral cavity is dependent and which influences the occurrence of caries. In diabetic patients, xerostomia may occur due to pronounced polyuria in non-regulated and inadequately regulated cases. The aim of this study was to determine the

The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with caries experience in the primary dentition of one- to five-year-old children with cerebral palsy. A total of 266 dental records were examined, and caries experience was measured by dmft. The following variables were also analyzed:

The thymus of the db/db mouse, an autoimmune strain with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and manifesting hyperglycemia, polyuria, glycosuria and obesity, was observed by electron microscopy. Its comparison with normal thymuses and thymuses from non-diabetic obese mice has revealed two major

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that typically affects the salivary and lacrimal glands. Renal involvement is relatively uncommon and may precede other complaints. Tubulointestitial nephritis (TIN) is the most common renal involvement in SS. Osteomalacia

The symptom intensity and mortality of human diseases, conditions, and syndromes exhibit diurnal or 24 h patterning, e.g., skin: atopic dermatitis, urticaria, psoriasis, and palmar hyperhidrosis; gastrointestinal: esophageal reflux, peptic ulcer (including perforation and hemorrhage), cyclic

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome are frequent in adult patients. However, primary intracranial NETs, exhibiting immunonegativity for ACTH, high serum ACTH level and treated with anterior skull base reconstruction, are rare and complicated. We

BACKGROUND This case study illustrates Harvey Cushing's pioneering work in pituitary transplantation in the early 20th century and the essential relationship between laboratory research and clinical practice. In 1911, a 48 year-old man presented at Johns Hopkins Hospital with bitemporal hemianopsia,

BACKGROUND Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a generalized dysfunction of renal proximal tubules resulting in impaired reabsorption of amino acids, phosphate, urate, bicarbonate, glucose, and electrolytes. FS can be a primary renal impairment due to genetic origin or secondary to inborn errors of metabolism

The 55-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital ward in a bad condition, with some symptoms of dehydration, polydipsia, polyuria, hyperglycaemia and slight metabolic acidosis and with numerous xanthomas on the trunk, forearms, thighs and buttocks. Moreover he was confirmed to have teeth caries.

Trans-sphenoidal surgery has a very low rate of complications despite a series of apparently negative anatomo-topographical factors. Complications may be either mechanical or functional, transitory or permanent. The most important complications are: hematoma of the focus, sub-arachnoid hemorrhage,

This paper presents a case of a pregnant woman with a history of two cesarean sections. The patient was admitted to the hospital because of vaginal bleeding. The ultrasound revealed a placenta covering the internal os. The placenta was characterized by heterogeneous echogenicity with visible

Haematuria of cattle has been recognised in the Nepal hills for many years where it is of local economic importance. The aetiology has been thought to be babesiosis. The disease was investigated in East Nepal over a nine month period. Affected animals exhibited a chronic, intermittent haematuria and

Graft morphology and endocrine function following vascularized pancreas transplantation by different surgical techniques were determined in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Eight different surgical techniques were studied. Intestinal drainage of exocrine secretion was accomplished by

OBJECTIVE Infrasellar craniopharyngioma (IC) is a rare tumor. This study aimed to investigate the clinical manifestations, treatment methods, and prognosis of IC, which invades the cranial base, nasal sinuses, nasopharynx and clivus. METHODS Eleven consecutive cases of IC who received treatment in

A case of pituitary adenoma associated with Rathke's cleft cyst is reported. A 35-year-old woman suffering from visual disturbance, polydipsia-polyuria and amenorrhea galactorrhea was admitted. Since 3 years before admission, she had been administered thyradin under the diagnosis of primary
