Stannous Fluoride Toothpaste Stabilized With Nitrate and Phosphates (SNaP) Reduces Oral Malodor: A Randomized Clinical Study.

Background: Oral malodor, whether from systemic disease, dietary sources, or bacteria in the oral cavity, can negatively impact patients' quality of life. Oral malodor due to bacteria in the oral cavity can be managed by mechanically or chemically removing bacteria. Dentifrices are ideal vehicles to deliver therapeutic active ingredients that promote and maintain oral health since most consumers brush their teeth daily.

Parent-child sensorimotor coordination in toddlers with and without hearing loss.

Infants experience the world through their actions with objects and their interactions with other people, especially their parents. Prior research has shown that school-age children with hearing loss experience poorer quality interactions with typically hearing parents, yet little is known about parent-child interactions between toddlers with hearing loss and their parents early in life. In the current study, we used mobile eye-tracking to investigate parent-child interactions in toddlers with and without hearing loss (mean ages: 19.

Finding Structure in Modern Dance.

Research has shown that both adults and children organize familiar activity into discrete units with consistent boundaries, despite the dynamic, continuous nature of everyday experiences. However, less is known about how observers segment unfamiliar event sequences. In the current study, we took advantage of the novelty that is inherent in modern dance.

Chagas disease control-surveillance in the Americas: the multinational initiatives and the practical impossibility of interrupting vector-borne Trypanosoma cruzi transmission.

Chagas disease (CD) still imposes a heavy burden on most Latin American countries. Vector-borne and mother-to-child transmission cause several thousand new infections per year, and at least 5 million people carry Trypanosoma cruzi. Access to diagnosis and medical care, however, is far from universal.
