Abstract: Halitosis, oral ulcer and dental caries are three common chronic oral diseases. With the development of medical technology, the treatment level of chronic oral diseases has been continuously improving, but the number of patients with chronic oral diseases is still high. About 10%~65% of people in the world have suffered from halitosis, about 12.3% of people often suffer from oral ulcers, and about 5 billion people suffer from dental caries. Epidemiological studies have shown that the frequent occurrence of halitosis, oral ulcers and dental caries is related to people's poor awareness of oral health care and prevention and control of chronic oral diseases. This paper discusses the correlation between the causes or incentives of oral odor, oral ulcer, dental caries and oral hygiene habits, and clarifies the risk factors related to the occurrence of these three diseases. That is to say, the food residue in oral cavity and the change of oral micro-ecological environment caused by inadequate oral cleaning are positively correlated with the occurrence of chronic oral diseases. The author believes that long-term poor oral hygiene habits are an important factor leading to the occurrence of chronic oral diseases, and further analyzes the effects of oral cleaning methods, frequency and duration on the occurrence and development of the above diseases, emphasizing that maintaining good oral hygiene helps to reduce the incidence of the above three chronic oral diseases. At the same time, this paper points out that excessive mental stress, irregular work and rest and eating habits, lack of exercise, low immune function and other factors will also promote the development of chronic oral diseases. By strengthening people 's awareness of oral health care and teaching correct oral cleaning methods, we can put forward targeted life management methods for the three diseases of halitosis, oral ulcer and caries in terms of eating habits, bad habits, mental health and sports.

Abstract: Background: The study aimed to discover factors influencing prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among adolescents in Unite Arab Emirates and their correlation with physical sport activity, socio-economic circumstances and eating habits. Methods: Overweight and obesity were defined using age and sex-specific Body Mass Index. Physical sport activity, socio-economic conditions and eating practices were assessed with a standardized questionnaire. Factors influencing overweight/obesity were known by Cross-Sectional Descriptive Survey. Statistical significance was adopted for P <0•05. Results: Overweight and obesity respectively affected 5•2 and 1•9% of adolescents surveyed. On sex-wise comparison, 35% of males were overweight compared to 24% of females. 61 (25.21%) of females reported not to participate in any sports compared to 16 (15.1%) of males (X²(1) =5.31., p= 0.025**). In addition, 11 males (10.38%) reported to spend less than 15 minutes in each self-physical sport session compared to 51 (21.07%) of females while 63 (59.43%) males reported to spend more than 30 minutes per session compared to 109 (45.04%) of females (X²(3) =11.003, p= 0.01**). Furthermore, we found only 22.7% of Ajman's adolescents had daily Food/Vegetable (F/V) intake and significantly (P<0.05) reduced the menace of overweight/obesity. 10 (9.43%) of males reported fruits among their favorite foods. Conclusion: Overweight/ Obesity were highly correlated with sedentary behavior; insufficient self-physical sports activities and unhealthy food preferences. Therefore, urgent approaches are needed to provide healthier meals to students at secondary schools; limit their access to low-nutrient, energy-dense foods during the school day; and increase the frequency, intensity, and duration of physical activity.

Abstract: The new generation of information technology is driving the medical industry into the Health 4.0 era characterized by informatization, intelligence and digitization. The new ecology of intelligent medical care is to meet the various needs of social medical and health care in an intelligent way, so as to ensure that the whole population can obtain timely and personalized health management services based on the combination of prevention and treatment. Oral life cycle health management aims to achieve the whole-course health service and health protection from the fetus to the end of life, aiming at the main health problems and main influencing factors at different stages of life. The new ecology of intelligent medical care integrates into the whole-life oral health management, so that providing continuous health management and services throughout the whole life cycle from prediction and early warning to prevention and prognosis and promoting the reconstruction of the medical service model. In the context of the construction of digital China, the construction of an Internet+ Medical oral health management system is conducive to the upgrading of smart health application scenarios. Under the guidance of the concept of big health, the training of high-level science popularization talents is given priority to promote the formation of the main tone of oral health management in the whole life cycle, the transformation and upgrading of the management model, and the optimization of health science popularization services. Taking this as a reference, the new ecology of smart medicine is integrated into all links of oral health management in the whole life cycle, and the transformation of oral health promotion from "digitalization" to "digitalization" is realized with innovative and high-quality science popularization talent team, medical equipment and precise cloud-shared patient data.

Abstract: In this paper we present a cardiovascular diseases prediction which is referred to as heart diseases. A detail review and application of genetic algorithms in healthcare systems including machine learning algorithms were evaluated. Areas in health systems reviewed and, in this research, includes radiology, oncology, cardiology, obstetrics and gynaecology, surgery, and infectious diseases. We conducted a healthcare management with recent reviewed papers and the application of GA in various health systems using its key parameter evaluation metrics; genetic operator, mutation operators, real coded GA, pareto-based multi-objective genetic algorithm and parallel genetic algorithms. The authors also proposed an architecture of a hybrid genetic algorithm and machine learning techniques implemented in MATLAB setting. One of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the global population, cardiovascular disease is characterized by restricted or blocked blood vessels that can cause heart attacks, angina, strokes, and other heart failures such muscle, valve, or rhythm problems. According to our analysis and findings, between 85 and 89 percent of people over the age of 40 were significantly affected by cardiovascular diseases. This result is crucial in light of the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, both of which disproportionately affected the elderly population. Our findings also suggest that the algorithm gets more complicated and performs better the higher the generation. To forecast the results from the available data, however, and to compare the probability computation with the dataset for cardiovascular disorders, GA and ML techniques are helpful.
