摘要:

Olfactory function is affected by age and gender. However, there are few data on smell function in various racial/cultural groups, in particular, in different‐aged African‐Americans. Therefore, this study sought to determine if there is a relationship among age, gender, and race for smell identification. Sixty healthy African‐Americans and 60 Caucasians between the ages of 20–40 and 60–80 years were administered the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). Older persons, regardless of race, had lower UPSIT scores, were more likely to be microsmic and anosmic, and had increased chemosensory complaints. Smell performance among females was better compared with males. Overall, African‐Americans had lower UPSIT scores and age‐and gender‐adjusted percentile rank scores compared with Caucasians, but these differences were significant only among younger subjects. In addition, both young and old African‐Americans had no smell complaints. The results from this study suggest that age, gender, and race have an influence on sme

摘要:

The purpose of this pilot study was to compare the reliability of three collection methods (draining, chewing of gum base, and the Saxon test) for whole saliva using a sample of middle‐aged and older ambulatory adults (n = 18) with proven salivary gland hypofunction. The results demonstrated high reliability (r values ranging from 0.91 to 0.80, p<0.001) for all three methods. MANO‐VA analysis revealed significant (p<0.001) differences in flow rates among the draining, chewing‐stimulated, and Saxon me

摘要:

A sample of 44 adults with severe disabilities completed a randomized single‐blind cross‐over study testing chlorhexidine swabbing under various conditions: with/without prior dental prophylaxis, reduced frequency of application (2 vs.5 timesperweek), and prolonged use (42 weeks). All subjects received therapeutic doses of 10 mL 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (Peridex, Procter&Gamble) and 10 mL 0.05% NaF applied with a Toothette®xs (Sage Products). Clinical effectiveness of chlorhexidine swabbing compared with placebo was previously reported. In the present study, while initial benefits were observed to be independent of dental prophylaxis, significant reductions in periodontal scores were sustained by a combination of dental prophylaxis and swabbing protocol, at reduced frequency of application and over prolonged time. High levels of acceptance and compliance by subjects/caregivers were maintained. Subjects/caregivers reported improvements in dental health as well as in attitude, quality of life, and smile. Chlorhexidine swabbing at maintenance frequency, combined with periodic dental prophylaxis, may offer an effective and pragmatic long‐term preventive regimen for persons with disabi
