Teeth riddled with cavities could point to other health problems. Among children ages 2 to 5, poor nutrition may be a common thread connecting obesity and tooth decay, a new study finds.Researchers found that 28 percent of young children who required anesthesia to treat their cavities — either because of the seriousness of the decay or their lack of cooperation — had a BMI indicating they were overweight or obese.
For comparison, data gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey a few years back suggests that 21 percent of children from the same age group are overweight or obese.
In the study, presented Tuesday at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, 65 children fasted for 8 to 12 hours before their procedures. While the children were getting their teeth fixed, their parents filled out questionnaires about the kids' eating habits. The work hasn’t been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Dr. Kathleen Bethin, a pediatrician at the University of Buffalo who was the lead author of the study, says previous research clashed about a possible association. But she says what makes her research unique was that it looks at kids who were treated in the operating room — as opposed to outpatient dental clinics.
"I think that our data more strongly suggests that there may be an association — that kids with worse dental decay may have bad nutrition and may be fatter," Bethin tells Shots.
These findings, Bethin says, indicate the dentist's office is a good place to talk about nutrition and obesity risk.
One finding that surprised Bethin: There was no difference in total calories consumed by overweight and healthy-weight kids in her study. That's despite the fact that 71 percent of kids in the study consumed more calories than normal for their age group.
"I had predicted that the overweight kids would have higher calories," she says. She adds it could be that overweight kids are exercising less or have higher-fat diets. She also said parents of overweight children might think their kids are eating less than they are.
Bethin says the study underscores the importance of teaching young children healthy eating habits — for their teeth and their waistlines.

]]>7 June - For patients battling a type of cancer that affects the back of the mouth, the chances of survival increase if the tumor contains the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, new research shows. In fact, the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most important predictor of survival in oropharyngeal cancer, researchers from the Ohio State University Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James) found. "Previous studies indicated a relationship existed between the presence or absence of HPV in oropharyngeal tumors and patient survival, but they couldn't determine if other favorable factors present in these patients were responsible
for their better outcome," lead author Dr. Maura Gillison, an
OSUCCC-James medical oncologist and head and neck cancer specialist, said in a newsrelease. "These findings close
the door on these questions," Gillison added, "and will allow the
field to move forward with clinical trials designed to determine how we should use molecular and behavioral factors to
personalize therapy for patients." The report was published online
June 7 in the New England Journal of Medicine, to coincide with presentation of the findings Monday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, in Chicago. Medline Plus

]]>[Editor's note: These changes were implemented in PubMed on April 6, 2010.]
PubMed will soon be enhanced to begin including citations for a subset of books available on the NCBI Bookshelf. The first books to be added are, GeneReviews and Essentials of Glycobiology. A citation will be included for both the book and each chapter or section of the book.
Summary Display Changes
In order to accommodate the book and book chapter citations, the PubMed Summary display will also be modified. PubMed citations may include one of the set of labels and links outlined below. The Related articles link will also be renamed to Related citations.
New copper-colored labels (Books & Documents, Free PMC Article, and Free Article) provide users with a quick and easy way to scan the Summary display to find text that is freely available. The blue Free text links display for PubMed Central articles and Bookshelf items (see Figure 1) and, when clicked, open a new browser page with full text. When Free Article is displayed, use the title link to the Abstract format to find a publisher icon link to full text.
