Abstract

Americans probably know very little about the risk factors and early warning signs of oral cancer despite a 5-year survival rate of 54%, according to a survey by the National Center for Health Statistics. Oral cancers affect all mouth areas, tongue and lips, and cause 8,000 annual deaths in the U.S. In a survey of 41,104 adults, the 1990 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Supplement measured how knowledgeable the general population was about oral cancer. Sixty-seven percent of participants (67%) identified only smoking and tobacco chewing as substantial cancer risks. Furthermore, only 25% of respondents could easily recognize early cancer symptoms, such as mouth sores and swelling. Lack of knowledge and incorrect answers can be reversed by the educational efforts of oral care providers.

Abstract

CD4+ cell levels in HIV positive women decrease during pregnancy and post partum, which may indicate that HIV disease progression continues during pregnancy. Researchers compared percent changes in CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts in 192 HIV positive and 148 HIV negative women. Percent CD4+ cell counts in HIV negative women decreased during pregnancy and then rose in late pregnancy and post partum. In contrast, percent CD4+ counts in HIV positive women continued to decrease throughout pregnancy and post partum. Percent changes in CD8+ cell counts increased as delivery approached and then decreased and levelled off post partum for both HIV negative and HIV positive women. The increase in CD8+ levels may reduce the likelihood of HIV transmission to the infant during delivery.
