The psychology of tooth wear.
Spec Care Dentist. 2013 Jan; 33(1): 28-34
Ahmed KE
AIM: To review the main psychological and mental conditions that are manifested dentally in the form of tooth wear. These conditions include depression, eating disorders, and alcohol and drug use disorders. The paper will also review the comorbidity of these conditions and the relevance of other medical conditions and lifestyle factors, such as gastroesophageal reflux disorder, smoking and diet, in the expression of tooth wear. CONCLUSION: A holistic, multidisciplinary, healthcare approach is required in management of tooth wear patients with underlying mental health disorders. Dentists and Dental Care Professionals can have an important role in identifying these mental disorders through the observed tooth wear. They can also play a key role in monitoring patients' response and compliance to medical treatment through the monitoring of tooth wear progression and expression.

How Hair Loss Affects Women Emotionally - Health Fitness
 | How Hair Loss Affects Women Emotionally - Health Fitness. The psychological effects of hair loss on women are too often undermined because of the little dramatic change in appearance. However, because women tend to be more invested in their appearances than men, the effects of hair loss are, in fact, more damaging. Women worry about how hair loss will affect everything from their careers to sexual activity. Not only this, a common concern is that women are virtually helpless to prevent this from happening, and often become frustrated at the prospect of losing even more hair. Three of the major problems women can face with hair loss are damaged self-esteem, social dysfunction, and lack of support. When a woman experiences hair loss, for any reason, she is likely to become incredibly self-conscious. Because women put more stock in beauty than men, women often worry that they will appear unattractive, or have less success in marriage or sexual activity. It can be quite disturbing for a woman to think that she will continue to lose even more hair, and this can become a source of serious depression and anxiety. This hurt self-esteem severely affects women, who may worry constantly about continuous loss of their "crowning glory". Though these worries may not seem well-founded, there is some reason to them. When women are less successful in their professional or their personal lives due to a condition such as hair loss, this is known as "social dysfunction". This is most likely <b>...</b> | Views: 0 0 ratings |

An improved quadratic inference function for parameter estimation in the analysis of correlated data.
Stat Med. 2012 Dec 28;
Westgate PM, Braun TM
Generalized estimating equations (GEE) are commonly employed for the analysis of correlated data. However, the quadratic inference function (QIF) method is increasing in popularity because of its multiple theoretical advantages over GEE. We base our focus on the fact that the QIF method is more efficient than GEE when the working covariance structure for the data is misspecified. It has been shown that because of the use of an empirical weighting covariance matrix inside its estimating equations, the QIF method's realized estimation performance can potentially be inferior to GEE's when the number of independent clusters is not large. We therefore propose an alternative weighting matrix for the QIF, which asymptotically is an optimally weighted combination of the empirical covariance matrix and its model-based version, which is derived by minimizing its expected quadratic loss. Use of the proposed weighting matrix maintains the large-sample advantages the QIF approach has over GEE and, as shown via simulation, improves small-sample parameter estimation. We also illustrated the proposed method in the analysis of a longitudinal study. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
