Abstract

To provide evidence that the Dutch periodontal screening index (DPSI) is a valuable tool for the screening of the periodontal status and to evaluate the application of the DPSI by general practitioners in the Netherlands. To assess the validity of the DPSI, an available data set was used consisting of 131 subjects with various degrees of periodontal breakdown in whom plaque, calculus, pocket depth, bleeding on probing and attachment loss was evaluated at all inter-proximal sites. The application of the DPSI in general practice was studied in a random sample of 300 practising dentists in the Netherlands by means of a questionnaire. Full-mouth inter-proximal measurements showed that 19.1% of the subjects had >or=6 mm attachment loss at >or=2 sites. The DPSI identified 100% of the subjects with this condition. The results of the survey questionnaire showed that about 75% of the general dental practitioners were applying the DPSI, although only 15.1% were performing this consistently when a regular check-up was performed. The mean time required for the assessment of the DPSI was 3 min. The DPSI is valuable tool for the screening of the periodontal condition during general dental check-ups.

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.
