Abstract

The aims of this study were to describe the change in reported time since the latest visit to a dentist between the years 1980/81 and 1988/89 and the reported use of dental services in relation to age, dental state, and socioeconomic and health characteristics in a sample of the Swedish population in 1988/89. The studies are based on interviews by Statistics Sweden about the living conditions. In the investigations in 1980/81, 14,964 inhabitants between 16 and 84 years of age participated, and in 1988/89, 13,309 inhabitants. In all age groups there was a significantly higher frequency of reported visits to a dentist last year in 1988/89 than in 1980/81. In the age group 50-64 years old this figure increased from 54% to 75%, and in the age group 65-84 years old it increased from 26% to 39%. In the investigation in 1988/89 about 75% of the dentulous women in all age groups up to 75 years reported visiting a dentist last year. The relative risk for not visiting a dentist last year, adjusted for age, gender, and dental state, was higher in dentulous subjects with low income and education, not married, not native-born, living in rural areas, smoking, and low social and physical activity. The results of the logistic regression analys...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.
