Abstract

Purpose: Dental erosion has become increasingly frequent in adolescents and is considered an oral health problem in this phase of life. Several factors have been associated with the development of dental erosion in adolescents, including lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and risk behaviors. We performed an integrative review of the prevalence of dental erosion and associated factors in adolescents.<br/> Methods: We analyzed studies, published between 2008 and 2018, available in Portuguese, English and Spanish, about the prevalence of and factors associated with dental erosion in adolescents between 10 and 19 years of age. Methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skill Program. The eligibility criteria defined the selection of articles available through searches of the LILACS, PubMed®, and MEDLINE databases conducted between July and September 2018.<br/> Results: Among the 503 articles retrieved during the initial search, 471 did not meet the inclusion criteria. Among the 32 selected studies, five found no factors significantly associated with dental erosion and 27 found significantly associated factors, such as sociodemographic characteristics, diet, age, and others.<br/> Conclusions: The prevalence of de...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.
