- cancer persistent gingival hemorrhage
Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy. Hemorrhage is in medicine, loss of blood from damaged blood vessels. A hemorrhage may be internal or external, and usually involves a lot of bleeding in a short time.
Preview- You can conclude that, gingival and retinal hemorrhaging were predictive of each other. The presence of gingival hemorrhaging at ?20% of the periodontal sites increased the odds for retinal hemorrhaging by 38% (odds ratio 1.38 [95% CI 1.121.68]) and 57% (1.57 [95% CI 1.261.93]), respectively. Several risk factors were consistently associated with both retinal and gingival bleeding. Odds ratio is a measure of the odds of an event happening in one group compared to the odds of the same event happening in another group. In cancer research, odds ratios are most often used in case-control (backward looking) studies to find out if being exposed to a certain substance or other factor increases the risk of cancer. For example, researchers may study a group of individuals with cancer (cases) and another group without cancer (controls) to see how many people in each group were exposed to a certain substance or factor. They calculate the odds of exposure in both groups and then compare the odds. An odds ratio of one means that both groups had the same odds of exposure and, therefore, the exposure probably does not increase the risk of cancer. An odds ratio of greater than one means that the exposure may increase the risk of cancer, and an odds ratio of less than one means that the exposure may reduce the risk of cancer. Also called relative odds.
- It might seem to be apparant that, the prevalence of gingival hemorrhaging, retinal hemorrhaging, and retinopathies is plotted as a function of the deciles of A1C levels (Fig).
- One can recognize, gingival hemorrhaging reflected on retinal hemorrhaging, and both shared chronic hyperglycemia as an explanatory marker. These epidemiological findings support the hypothesis that retinopathies are reflective of systemic microvascular injury. Chronic is a disease or condition that persists or progresses over a long period of time. Hyperglycemia, higher than normal amount of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. Hyperglycemia can be a sign of diabetes or other conditions. Also called high blood sugar. Systemic, affecting the entire body. Marker is a diagnostic indication that disease may develop. Hypothesis is a tentative proposal made to explain certain observations or facts that requires further investigation to be verified.
