It is generally understood that the teeth of pre-school-aged children are healthy, but improvement in dmft index has halted industrialized countries. Those few who have caries more it than before. Little known family-related factors which associated with this polarization caries. A representative population-based sample consisted 1443 mothers expecting their first child. The were followed at well-baby clinics and public dental health for over five years. objective was to study prevalence its...
The aim of the study was to examine psychiatric symptoms in high-functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorders reported by multiple informants. Forty-three 11- 17-year-old Asperger syndrome (AS) or (HFA) and 217 typically developed completed Youth Self-Report (YSR), while their parents Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Teachers AS/HFA Teacher Report Form (TRF). informants significantly more symptoms, especially withdrawn, anxious/depressed, social attention problems, than controls....
In resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) decreased frontal-posterior connectivity is a persistent finding. However, the picture default mode network (DMN) hypoconnectivity remains incomplete. addition, analyses have been shown to be susceptible even subtle motion. DMN in ASD has specifically called for re-evaluation with stringent motion correction, which we aimed conduct by so-called scrubbing. A rich set subnetworks can...
Sensory abnormalities (SAs) are recognized features in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and a relationship between SAs ASD traits is also suggested general population. Our aims were to estimate the prevalence of three different settings, study association quantitative autism (QAT) using Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) parental questionnaire. In an epidemiological population 8-year-old children (n = 4397), was 8.3%, sample 28), 53.6%, non-ASD 4369), 8.0%, respectively. Tactile auditory...
The aim was to elucidate whether variables recorded in early childhood would have a long-lasting predictive value of poor dental health at the age 10 years prospectively followed Finnish population-based cohort setting. second find new tools for preventive work order improve among children. Poor (dmft + DMFT ≧ 5) associated with child’s nocturnal juice drinking 18 months. It following factors 3 years: frequent consumption sweets; infrequent tooth brushing; plaque and caries on teeth. Of...
Background Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables measurements and visualization of the microstructure neural fiber tracts. The existing literature on autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) DTI is heterogenous both regarding methodology results. Purpose To compare brain white matter high-functioning individuals with ASDs controls. Material Methods Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), a voxel-based approach to DTI, was used 27 subjects (mean age 14.7 years, range 11.4–17.6 20 boys, 7 girls) 26...
Abstract Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder of brain function characterized by deficits in social interaction including difficulties understanding emotional expressions. Children with AS share some the behavioural characteristics their parents and seems to run particularly male members same families. The aim present study was determine whether similarities could be found between children at central auditory processing. It that sound encoding, as reflected exogenous components...
The present study analyzed the prevalence of dental caries as well associations health and family competence among 7-year-old children their families. Dental status was outcome variable 7-year prospective follow-up study. Pre-tested questionnaires were used to gather data individually from parents at six points in time (at public maternity health-care clinic during mother's pregnancy childbirth, well-baby 18 months, ages 3, 5, 7 years). Clinical examinations clinics record indicators child...
A new dental fear measurement instrument, the Short Dental Fear Question (SDFQ), was developed and tested for clinical practice purposes. The correlations of SDFQ with Anxiety Scale (DAS) Survey (DFS) were in 15-16-year-old adolescents. Spearman (rs) between instruments were: - DFS: r(s) = 0.79, n 26; DFS DAS: 0.72, SDFQ- 0.69, 27. DAS mean scores clearly higher group than relaxed group. is a short compact instrument which might be convenient practice.
Abstract Objectives : This study sought to determine how dental health and habits change from 3 5 years of age consider whether preventive care helped in preventing or halting caries children. Methods The included 67 maternity clinics, 72 well‐baby 69 clinics. Of the 1,292 newborn children, 1,003 (90.8%) were this study. Results Preventive contributed being halted only 13.2 percent those children who had enamel at age. dmft index did not increase 22.6 dentinal For all others, disease became...
The aim of the study was to examine caries experience 10–year–olds as measured with dmft/DMFT, explain how increases by age 10 years, and which factors would increments. setting a representative population sample first–born children in southwestern Finland. Dental health at years found be good 45%, fairly 40% poor 15% children. index remained stable 23% carious from 7 age. Daily consumption sweets 3 (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.5–4.8; p < 0.001) associated increment between (both deciduous permanent...
