Abstract

To assess the prevalence of tooth wear in adolescents and its relationship with diet, saliva and gastro-oesophageal reflux. Single centre cluster sample epidemiological study. A school in London in the summer of 1996. 11-14-year-old schoolchildren. The Smith and Knight tooth wear index (TWI), salivary factors, diet and symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux were recorded for all subjects. Results were obtained from 210 subjects. One subject refused to provide a saliva sample and 11 subjects provided insufficient saliva for analysis of buffering power (n = 198). 57% (95% confidence intervals 50.3-63.7%) of subjects had tooth wear on more than ten teeth and a median 12% (interquartile range 6-18%, 95% confidence intervals 8-14%) of surfaces were affected. However, dentine involvement was rare. The median intake of carbonated drinks was 2 cans (interquartile range 1-3) a day. However, there was no correlation with TWI (r = -0.09, P = 0.19). There was no relationship between tooth wear index (TWI) and salivary flow rate (r = -0.02, P = 0.78) or buffering capacity (r = -0.02, P = 0.76). A trend was observed for those with a reported history of regurgitation (n = 27) to have a higher maxillary TWI (median 8, interquartile range 2-13) ...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.
