"Orofacial Manifestations of Systemic Diseases"

Course Objectives

Oral cavity is readily accessible for inspection and a gateway for assessment of general health. In fact, many systemic conditions affecting organs far from the head and neck region could manifest in the orofacial region, sometimes prior to their diagnosis. Abnormalities detected in the orofacial region may also represent complications related to medical therapy or raise concerns about substance abuse. This program provides illustrative examples of orofacial findings associated with diagnosed or subjectively silent systemic disease, medical therapy and substance abuse. Relevant signs, symptoms, and diagnostics are reviewed and the potential role of oral health care providers in recognition, referral, follow-up and overall management is emphasized.

NYSDOH Launches Global Health Update Web Page

Feb 10, 2025

Per the notice below, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has launched a Web page with information on ongoing and emerging infectious disease outbreaks.

New York State Department of Health Launches Global Health Update Report Webpage to Inform New Yorkers of Ongoing and Emerging Infectious Disease Outbreaks

Global Health Update Report Summarizes Information on Outbreaks of Significance to New York State

The New York State Department of Health has launched a new weekly report summarizing select ongoing and emerging infectious disease outbreaks of public interest. The Global Health Update Report includes preliminary and up-to-date data for these events for public health professionals and the public.

"Protecting public health includes ensuring communities and public health professionals have access to timely, high-quality data and information regarding emerging infectious diseases," State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said. "Public health data are vital to helping states and localities understand the burden and impact of emerging infections so we can make informed decisions about prevention strategies. The State Department of Health's Global Health Update Report will be a vital resource, allowing us to continue to track public health trends so we can prepare and respond to future emergencies."

The report will be updated every Friday and will include information on infectious disease trends and outbreaks occurring across the globe with the potential to pose a health risk to New Yorkers. The report aggregates and summarizes data and information from public sources to deliver preliminary information. Because the information in the report is a summary of data from outside sources, the completeness and accuracy of the methodology used cannot be guaranteed. The New York State Department of Health also collects a variety of public health data. These reports are available at https://health.ny.gov/statistics/.
