Abstract

The sequence and emergence of permanent teeth are considered to be largely under genetic control. However, some environmental factors have also been reported to influence tooth emergence. To investigate the effect of under-nutrition on the emergence of permanent teeth in a sample of Rajput children from part of Solan District in Himachal Pradesh State of India. This study is based on a cross-sectional sample of 509 school-going boys and girls ranging in age from 5-14 years. The emergence of the first 28 teeth was investigated. The nutritional status of each subject was evaluated using stature and weight expressed as SD scores of weight-for-age, stature-for-age and weight-for-stature of the NCHS reference data. Mandibular teeth tended to emerge earlier than the maxillary teeth in both sexes and, except pre-molars, emergence was earlier in girls. Simple correlation between number of emerged teeth and stature (0.871 in girls, 0.855 in boys) and weight (0.814 in girls, 0.791 in boys) was significant (p ≤ 0.05), but on partialling out the effect of age, values of partial correlation were low and not significant. Under-nourished children of both sexes (those with SD scores of - 2 SD or less) had fewer erupted teeth compared to normal...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
