A differential family history of alcoholism was reflected in self-reported subjective perceptions of intoxication when the brain's exposure to a specified concentration of alcohol was held constant (BrAC of 60 mg%). FHP subjects reported greater intoxication after alcohol and subsequently developed acute tolerance to alcohol compared with FHN subjects.
Although the presentation of ameloblastoma within this Chinese community was broadly similar to that observed in other populations, it differed in a number of important respects. It had a younger age at first presentation than many other communities, including other Orientals; it was associated with a shorter period between first becoming aware of the lesion and seeking treatment, particularly in the young; and it was more frequently associated with pain than in the SR.
OF in this community predominantly affects females. Although gynaecological history was not included in the clinical notes, there is a clear possibility of reactivation of OF growth at the menopause. Other potentially important contributing factors are "traditional Chinese medicine" and the progressive reduction in the degree of water fluoridation. Although most patients were followed up, this was only for a few years. Nevertheless, one case actually recurred during follow-up. Therefore, patients with OF should be encouraged to maintain follow-up for a longer period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
