Abstract

Toothache is a subjective oral health indicator that should become uncommon when oral health is improving. The aim of this study was to assess changes in perceived toothache between 1977 and 1997 among Finnish adolescents. In the Adolescent Health and Lifestyle Survey, a self-administered questionnaire was mailed to a representative sample of 12-, 14-, 16-, and 18-year-old Finns every second year. The sample sizes in the surveys varied from 2422 to 11,105, making a total of 35,349 subjects in the entire study. The incidence of toothache during the previous 2 years was requested in 1977, 1985, 1991, 1995, and 1997, and the prevalences were 31%, 25%, 28%, 29%, and 37%, respectively. The increase between 1995 and 1997 was highest among 16- and 18-year-olds. There was no tendency for perceived toothache to decline over the study period, despite the decrease in caries experience. Toothache varied by age, socioeconomic status (SES), place of residence, and toothbrushing frequency. The increase in the incidence of toothache reported after 1995 could be a warning signal that economic recession in Finland has caused changes in the dental care system.

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.
