This study aimed to demonstrate the reproducibility of a standardized photographic technique for recording fluorosis when used by a group of epidemiologists as part of a large multicentred European study
Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the reproducibility of a standardized photographic technique for recording fluorosis when used by a group of epidemiologists as part of a large multicentred European study. METHODS: Studies were first carried out to develop the equipment specification and photographic method. The author (JAC) was then trained and calibrated in more...

This study aimed to explore teachers' knowledge of the signs and symptoms of psychiatric disorder
Abstract:
Research has shown that children and young people with intellectual disabilities are at a greater risk of developing a psychiatric disorder than their non-disabled peers. However, no information exists regarding teachers' knowledge of the signs and symptoms of these conditions. Using a postal questionnaire, 36 teachers working within schools for children and young people with severe more...

The aim of this study was to investigate use of video recordings of newborn infants to determine colour and oxygen saturation
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Use of video recordings of newborn infants to determine: (1) if clinicians agreed whether infants were pink; and (2) the pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (Spo(2)) at which infants first looked pink. METHODS: Selected clips from video recordings of infants taken immediately after delivery were shown to medical and nursing staff. The infants received varying degrees of more...

The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that speech intelligibility in children after cochlear implantation may depend on their deafness cause, including connexin 26 (GJB2) gene-related deafness
Abstract:
HYPOTHESIS: Speech intelligibility in children after cochlear implantation may depend on their deafness cause, including connexin 26 (GJB2) gene-related deafness. BACKGROUND: There is significant variability in the degree of intelligibility, or clarity, of children's speech after cochlear implantation. GJB2 gene-related deafness may be a factor, as preliminary data suggest that more...

This study examined raters and occasions as potential sources of error in children's Draw-a-Person scores using generalisability and classical test theory
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Scoring systems to evaluate children's human drawings for intellectual maturity have been found to have good intra- and inter-scorer reliability. However, there is some evidence (McCarthy, 1944) that such scores may not be stable over time. AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate raters and occasions as potential sources of error in children's Draw-a-Person scores using more...

This study aimed to explore on the reliability of a modified version of the "Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need" for use in oral health surveys.
Abstract:
This paper reports the results of a study of the reliability of a modified version of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) for use in oral health surveys. Twelve non-specialist dental examiners were trained in the use of the Modified IOTN using a standardised teaching protocol lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Following a school-based calibration exercise it was found that more...

The aim of this study was to examine celiac artery flow to left ventricular output ratio (CAF:LVO) in the presence and the absence of a patent ductus arteriosus in preterm neonates, and to compare CAF:LVO to current echocardiographic markers
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Determining the significance of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains difficult in preterm neonates and current echocardiographic markers give little information about ductal steal. We hypothesized that the relationship between celiac artery flow (CAF) and left ventricular output (LVO) in the presence of a PDA may determine haemodynamic significance. OBJECTIVES: To more...

The aim of this study was to describe dental attendance and levels of untreated caries in a sample of 11-12 year old children in Northern Ireland
Abstract:
The object of the present study was to determine the relationship between dental attendance and the levels of untreated caries in a sample of 11-12 year old pupils attending first form of second level schools in the South Belfast area of Northern Ireland. A sample of 199 first form pupils attending second level schools in the area was obtained. The diagnosis of caries depended mainly on more...
