question:
Question: Are arterial stiffness and pulse wave reflection increased in patients suffering from severe periodontitis?
Answer: The results of this study confirm the association between periodontal inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk shown by impaired vascular health in case of severe periodontitis. As impaired vascular health is a common finding in patients suffering from severe periodontal disease a concomitant routine cardiovascular evaluation may be advised.
answer:
yes


question:
Question: Are polymorphisms in SPINK5 associated with asthma in a Dutch population?
Answer: The negative results in this study suggest that SPINK5 is not associated with asthma or atopic phenotypes in individuals ascertained by a proband with asthma. This is consistent with the finding that SPINK5 is not expressed in the lung. Because our patients were ascertained for asthma, a role of SPINK5 in atopic dermatitis cannot be excluded.
answer:
no
