TL;DR: An overview of etiologies associated with tooth wear is presented, and the dental practitioner should recognize the characteristic signs of tooth wear, as they may be the first to discuss the problem with the patient.
Abstract: PURPOSE This article presents an overview of etiologies associated with tooth wear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specific types of wear based on clinical findings and patient history are described. RESULTS The occurrence and pattern of tooth wear are related to cultural, dietary, occupational, and geographic factors. Examples of tooth wear related to these factors with regional specificity are presented. CONCLUSION The dental practitioner should recognize the characteristic signs of tooth wear, as they may be the first to discuss the problem with the patient. Management should be based on accurate diagnosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the theory of modulation spaces was extended to the general case 0 p, q ⩽∞ and it was shown that these spaces admit an atomic decomposition and are characterized by decay and summability properties of Gabor coefficients.

TL;DR: Obesity seems to be a common disorder among adult Jordanians and more attention should be paid to this problem at the national level.
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To study the prevalence of obesity among semi-urban communities in Jordan and its association with a number of factors. DESIGN: A sample of households was systematically selected from four Jordanian towns namely, Sarih, Sikhra, Southern Mazar and Subha-Subhieh. All subjects aged ≥25 y within the selected households, were invited to participate in the study. A total of 2836 subjects were actually included in the study, with an overall response rate of 70.5%. Study procedures were carried out in the local health centres in each town over a one-month period. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of obesity (body mass index, BMI≥30 kg/m2) was 49.7%; 32.7% in males and 59.8% in females. Obesity was more prevalent in the older age groups, illiterate people, diabetic and hypertensive subjects, and those with hypercholesterolaemia (HC), hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG), high level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and low level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). After adjusting for age and gender, obesity was associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) (odds ratio (OR) 1.4, 95% confidence limit (CL) 1.1, 1.8), hypertension (HT) (OR 2.2, 95% CL 1.7, 2.8), HC (OR 1.3, 95% CL 1.1, 1.5), HTG (OR 2.3, 95% CL 2.0, 2.8), elevated LDL (OR 1.5, 95% CL 1.2, 1.8) and low HDL (OR 2.3, 95% CL 1.8, 2.9). CONCLUSION: Obesity seems to be a common disorder among adult Jordanians. More attention should be paid to this problem at the national level.

TL;DR: Males had larger tooth/arch dimension than that of females in the primary dentition stage of Jordanian children, and the majority of children examined had spaced primary dentitions.
Abstract: Summary. Objectives. To assess tooth and arch dimensions, occlusal relationships and the presence of spacing or crowding in primary dentition of Jordanian children. Study design. A list of 10 kindergartens was randomly selected in the governate of Irbid, Jordan. A total of 1048 children (2·5–6 years old) with complete primary dentitions were examined for occlusal relationships in three planes, and the presence of spacing or crowding. Of those, study casts were taken for 87 randomly selected 4–5-year-old children (39 girls, 48 boys). Measurements of tooth and arch dimensions were made using electronic digital sliding callipers. Results. In general, males had larger mesiodistal tooth width and larger arch dimensions. Bilateral mesial step molar relationship was found in 47·7% of children followed by bilateral flush terminal molar relationship in 37% and bilateral distal step in 3·7%. Asymmetric right/left molar relationship was found in 11·6% of children examined. Class I canine relationship was found in 57% of children, followed by Class II canines in 29% and Class III canines in 3·7%. Fifty per cent of children examined had Class I incisors, 24·7% had Class II Division 1, 13·5% had Class II Division 2 and 11·8% showed reversed overjet. Ideal overbite was seen in 44·3% of children, reduced overbite in 21·8%, increased overbite in 28·2% and 5·7% had anterior openbite. Buccal crossbite was seen in 7% of the sample. Generalized spacing was found in 61·8% and 61·1% of children in the upper and lower arches, respectively. Anthropoid spaces were found in 70% of the upper arches and in 51% of the lower arches. Conclusions. Males had larger tooth/arch dimension than that of females in the primary dentition stage. Mesial step molar relationship was found in 47·7% of the subjects followed by flush terminal molar relationship in 37%. The majority of children examined had spaced primary dentition.

TL;DR: Those with epilepsy had a significantly higher tendency to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression than the control group, and these psychiatric symptoms were more likely to happen when seizures had not been properly medically controlled.
Abstract: In Jordan, individuals with epilepsy commonly attend neuropsychiatric clinics. The objective of this study was to assess the psychosocial outcome of epilepsy among adolescents. The study included 101 epileptic adolescents who attended the neurology clinic at the Princess Basma Teaching Hospital in Northern Jordan and 101 non-epileptic controls. Sociodemographic characteristics and all relevant clinical data were collected through interviewing the cases and controls. Identification of the symptoms of anxiety and depression was made according to DSM-IV criteria. The patients were age and sex matched with the controls. The controls had achieved a significantly better education (> 12 years education) than the patients with epilepsy. The adolescents with epilepsy were also shown to be disadvantaged in their living circumstances. Some of them were dependent on their parents in some daily physical activities, such as bathing, which might be a sign of overprotection by their parents. Those with epilepsy had a significantly higher tendency to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression than the control group. Moreover these psychiatric symptoms, especially anxiety symptoms, were more likely to happen when seizures had not been properly medically controlled. Overprotective parental behaviour towards their ill children could also delay their psychosocial maturation. Therefore, counselling of patients and parents about epilepsy is an important factor in the control of seizures and their sequelae.
