Psychiatry, as a discipline, lacks any consensual, conceptually valid method by which to demarcate the boundaries of its professional and clinical domain: although psychiatry understands itself as the medical discipline dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of “mental disorders”, psychiatry’s most widely accepted definition of “mental disorder” is ...

Socioeconomic status and health conditions associated with incidence of dental caries in Brazilian children
This study involved 753 schoolchildren, aged 3 –15 years, of two socio-economic levels: a low level, in a public school and kindergarten; and a high level, in a private school. The mean decayed, missing and filled deciduous infant teeth (dmft) values in children age 6 years and decayed, missing, and filled permanent adult teeth (DMFT) at 12 years were similar between children in the public school (dmft, 1.53; DMFT, 0.56) and the private school (dmft, 1.53; DMFT, 0.28). A low DMFT is associated with the habit of cleaning teeth after eating sweet foods, when the fathers were employed at the time of the child’s birth ...
