Disease relevance of Diagnosis, Oral

• The impact of oral examination on the Centers for Disease Control classification of subjects with human immunodeficiency virus infection [1].
• There is a general consensus that oral examination of patients at risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) should be conducted on a routine basis [2].
• Oral examinations were performed on 5 patients with hypophosphatemic bone disease (HBD) (2 males and 3 females), 14 patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), and 4 affected XLH relatives (6 males and 12 females) [3].

High impact information on Diagnosis, Oral

• As part of an evaluation of this new curriculum, students in the two curricula were compared using three traditional measurements: (1) test scores from the National Board of Medical Examiners, Part I; (2) test scores from the National Board of Medical Examiners, Part II; and (3) performance on an oral examination [4].
• We used ANOVA statistics to evaluate differences between groups; nonparametric correlations to assess associations between swallowing and motor and cognitive abnormalities; and logistic regression analysis to determine if the items of the questionnaire or oral examination predicted ultrasound or modified barium swallow abnormalities [5].
• Suggestions offered that are worthy of further discussion, debate, and study include establishment of a standardized "ward" examination, a formative oral examination to accompany the ACR In-Training examination, and the possible revision of the American Board of Radiology oral examination [6].
• Levels of serum pseudocholinesterase in 14 medical students before and after oral examinations in psychiatry were compared [7].
• Relative to matched control subjects, plasma cortisol levels were elevated among graduate students, especially females, 1 h prior to the oral examination, but not 6-8 weeks earlier (at about the time of the submission of the written document) [8].

Biological context of Diagnosis, Oral

• In an attempt to help understand the Part II oral examinations of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, the authors undertook a study to identify the factors that aid candidates in passing the Part II examination after one or more initial failures [9].

Anatomical context of Diagnosis, Oral

• Dental enamel pitting as a diagnostic sign of tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is explored and a protocol for the oral examination of patients and individuals at risk is described [10].

Associations of Diagnosis, Oral with chemical compounds

• Final Scores were weighted: (1) Clinical Performance = 60%, (2) Formal Presentation = 10%, (3) Oral Examination = 10%, and (4) National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Subject Test score = 20% [11].
• The Michigan State University Emergency Medicine Residency Program in Lansing conducts monthly standardized oral examinations (SOEs) as part of each resident's evaluation [12].
• Careful oral examination may reveal lesions that alter Centers for Disease Control staging [13].
• Thorough oral examinations were conducted at the baseline, 1- and 3-yr registrations; coronal and root surface caries were registered separately according to WHO classification [14].
• Oral examination and photographic documentation were performed by the same examiner on all patients before and 1 and 3 months after metronidazole treatment [15].

Gene context of Diagnosis, Oral

• We sought to determine whether a competitive oral examination would affect plasma levels of the pituitary hormones ACTH, beta-endorphin, beta-lipotrophic hormone, and prolactin in a group of healthy young males [16].
• By combining written Subject Test and Oral Examination scores, 91% of the variance in Final Scores can be explained [11].
• Oral examinations were performed at baseline and every month for evidence of OC or HL; CD4+ and VL determinations were done at baseline, at 6-month intervals, when oral lesions were detected, and 2 months later [17].
• Three members of staff gave each Think Tank group a communal oral examination and the performance of the group was given a grade [18].
• The performance scores included science GPA, clinical GPA, oral examination scores, and scores on Parts I and II of the dental National Board examinations [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Diagnosis, Oral

• A case-control study was performed with 43 OLP cases from the Oral Medicine Clinic at the School of Dentistry, University of Washington and 78 controls from a general dental care-screening clinic, also at the School of Dentistry, University of Washington. Health histories and oral examinations were obtained [20].
• Subjects and method: In 2002, a total of 115 85-year-old persons in Japan were subjected to oral examinations, tongue coat collections, measurements of VSCs levels inside the mouth using a portable gas chromatography (Oral Chroma(TM), Abilit, Japan), and assessments of quality of life (QOL) using an SF-36 questionnaire [21].
• The last group had a general medical assessment, including psychological and oral examinations with oral smears and cultures, and the following blood tests: full blood examination, follicle-stimulating hormone, oestradiol, folate, vitamin B12, iron, and total iron binding capacity [22].
