BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to be a serious health issue and one of the world most devastating epidemics. An estimated 1.5 million people died from AIDS-related illnesses in 2013, and an estimated 37 million people with AIDS have died worldwide since the epidemic has begun. HIV infection is known for its oral manifestations which causes discomfort and pain for infected individuals. The objective of this study was to document oral conditions of HIV positive patients and the pattern and frequency of oral and dental lesions. METHODS: All patients with confirmed HIV infection who were treated at the Department of Dentistry, University Hospital in Hradec Králové, were examined. RESULTS: During the study period, 29 HIV positive patients were examined and treated--19 men, 10 women, with mean age of 32.9 years (range 22-58 years). 72.41% patients received ART. In total, all patients underwent 186 visits. The most frequent treatments were associated with teeth and periodontal lesions (71.80%), oral mucosal lesions were diagnosed and treated only in 3.96% cases. CONCLUSION: Since the introduction of ART, the frequency of oral mucosal lesions is minimal in patients with HIV infection. and M. Šembera, V. Radochová, R. Slezák
Z 20 855 nádorů hlavy a krku (HNC), uvedených v registru nádorů ČR v letech 1976–2005 bylo 4 912 vícečetných případů, z toho 3 679 (74,9 %) u mužů a 1 233 (25,1 %) u žen, tj. ze všech hlášených HNC bylo 17,6 % případů u mužů a 19,5 % u žen spojeno s výskytem dalšího nádoru. U mužů bylo 56,3 % primárních a 43,7 % následných HNC, u žen 43,8 % a 56,2 %. Počet primárních HNC rostl během první dekády a pak klesal, počet následných HNC trvale rostl. Ze 14 krajů se vyskytlo 51,6 % vícečetných HNC v pěti krajích (Moravskoslezský, Jihomoravský, Praha, Jihočeský, Středočeský). Nejvíce bylo 28,8 % vícečetných nádorů rtů, 11,9 % tonzil a 11,1 % příušní žlázy. Po primárních 2 070 HNC u mužů se vyskytlo 2 436 následných novotvarů za průměrnou dobu 6,7 roku, po primárních 540 HNC u žen 649 dalších novotvarů za 6,9 roku. Z 425 synchronních případů bylo nejvíc nádorů dýchacího systému, kůže a jiných HNC, z 2 660 metachronních případů nádory kůže, dýchacího a trávicího systému. Následným 2 302 HNC předcházelo 2 858 jiných novotarů, nejvíce kůže, dýchacího systému a jiných lokalizací HNC. Očekávané nižší zastoupení pokročilých klinických stadií se nepotvrdilo. Z 2 436 následných novotvarů u mužů a 649 u žen bylo hlášeno po primárních časných stadiích HNC 16,1 % mužů a 18,6 % žen v následném stadiu I, II, 10,7 % mužů a 7,8 % žen ve stadiu III, IV; po pokročilých primárních stadiích HNC bylo 8,2 % mužů a 6,5 % žen v následném stadiu I, II, 8,9 % mužů a 5,2 % žen ve stadiu III, IV; nehlášená stadia představovala u mužů 56,1 %, u žen 61,9 %. Všech 729 dalších pokročilých nádorů (606 mužů, 123 žen) představovalo 3,5 % nemocných s primárním HNC, evidovaných v registru za 30 let, což bylo asi 1 540 nemocných s HNC, postižených dalším pokročilým nádorem z 43 850 HNC za 50 let. K říjnu 2007 přežívalo z primárních HNC 14,7 % mužů a 20,6 % žen a zemřelo 85,3 % mužů a 79,4 % žen. V roce 2015 bude v ČR léčeno téměř 8 tisíc přežívajících s HNC, část z nich s vícečetnými nádory. Naplní se jejich očekávané počty?, A total of 20,855 head and neck cancers (HNC), based in the Czech Cancer Registry in 1976–2005, there were notificated 4,912 multiple cancers, of which were 3,679 (74.9 %) in males and 1,233 (25.1 %) in females, i.e. 17.6 % cases in males and 19.5 % in females of total HNC, affected by other neoplasms. There were 56.3 % primary and 43.7 % subsequent HNC in males, 43.8 % and 56.2 % in females. The number of primary HNC incerased during the first decade and then decreased, the number of subsequent HNC increased steadily. A total of 14 Czech regions were distributed 51.6 % multiple HNC in five regions (Northern and Southern Moravia, Prague, Southern and Central Bohemia). The most frequent were 28.8 % multiple cancers of lips, 11.9 % of tonsils, 11.1 % of parotid gands. The primary 2,070 HNC in males were followed by 2,436 other neoplasms in the average interval 6.7 years; the primary 540 HNC in females were followed by 649 other neoplasms in males in the average interval 6.9 years. The most frequent diagnoses of 425 synchronous cases were cancers of respiratory tract, skin and other HNC, of 2,660 metachronous cases were cancers of skin, respiratory and digestive tract. The subsequent 2.302 HNC were preceded by 2.858 other neoplasms with the most frequent cancers of skin, respiratory tract and other HNC. The expected low representation of advanced clinical stages was not confirmed. Of 2,436 subsequent neoplasms in males and 649 in females were registered after early HNC stages in 16.1 % males and 18.6 % females of stages I, II, in 10.7 % males and 7.8 % females of stages III, IV; after advanced HNC stages were in 8.2 % males and 6.5% females of stages I, II, in 8.9 % males and 5.2 % females of stages III, IV; the unknown stages represented 56.1 % in males and 61.9 % in females of subsequent neoplasms. All 729 subsequent advanced cancers (606 males, 123 females) represented 3.5 % of total registered cases of HNC during 30 years and about 1,540 patients with HNC affected by other subsequent cancer of 43,850 HNC based in the Czech Cancer Registry during half-century. Up to Oct. 2007, of the primary HNC 14.7 % males and 20.6 % females survived, and those 85.3 % males and 79.4 % females died. Nearly 8,000 patients is estimated to be treated for HNC, some of them with multiple cancers, in the Czech Republic in 2015. Will be reached their expected numbers? clinical stages., Edvard Geryk, Jiří Kozel, Theodor Horváth, Petr Kubíček, and Literatura 30
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems among Czech dentists and to analyze the factors that affect these disorders. Information was gathered through questionnaire completed by 581 physicians. The questionnaire ascertained general information about physicians including their work habits and the characteristics of their work environment along with the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems as well as their intensity. In the past year the occurrence of at least mild difficulties associated with the locomotive system was reported by 96.9% of dentists surveyed (n = 557), with 66.3% of respondents (n = 381) reporting difficulties ofa moderate or major nature. Most respondents of both sexes indicated neck pain. A statistically significant correlation with the occurrence of musculoskeletal complaints of medium and major intensity was demonstrated for the following factors: sex, age, running a private practice, past injury or musculoskeletal diseases, and the perception of work as psychologically demanding. Musculoskeletal disorders in dentists in Czech Republic are relatively frequent and serious health problem. The causes of these diseases must be identified and appropriate preventive interventions undertaken that will contribute to a reduction in the incidence of these problems. and Z. Sustová, L.
