Value of an Intraoral Camera in Evaluating Restorations and Plaque in a Simulated Environment: Observational Experiences of Dentists in Pediatric Contexts to Establish a Proof of Concept.

Access to the posterior maxillary and mandibular teeth is a significant challenge while evaluating plaque, gingiva, teeth, restorations, and crown margins. It is tougher when there are also limitations of mouth opening, small mouths, or when patients are not cooperative. The evolution of small intraoral cameras appears to be a promising solution - intraoral cameras fit into the mouth and deliver live, high-resolution video feeds of the intraoral areas.

Amphiphilic Graft Copolymers for Time-Delayed Release of Hydrophobic Fragrances.

When a controlled or retarded release of perfumes is required such as in cosmetics or cleaning products, polymers can be applied as encapsulation agents. With regard to such applications, we investigated two amphiphilic graft copolymers featuring a polydehydroalanine (PDha) backbone and different hydrophobic side chains. Hereby, grafting of aliphatic octyl side chains (PDha--EOct) enabled the adsorption of the aliphatic fragrance tetrahydrolinalool with moderate loads, whereas benzyl side chains (PDha--BGE) allowed taking up aromatic fragrances, for example, amylsalicylate- with exceptionally high loads of up to 8 g g.

Case management for people with dementia living at home and their informal caregivers: A scoping review.

Case management is a complex intervention aimed at addressing a variety of health needs of people in their social environment. Case management for people with dementia is often poorly defined and insufficiently described. The crucial process steps are often not well understood.

[Dementia Care Nurse - Feasibility study of outreach assistance for people with dementia and their family carers].

Dementia Care Nurse - Feasibility study of outreach assistance for people with dementia and their family carers Case management for dementia is stipulated in the German national dementia strategy. The effectiveness of case management has been investigated many times, yet the results are heterogeneous. On the contrary, the implementation processes of case management concepts have to date rarely been described or evaluated in detail.

Thiols Act as Methyl Traps in the Biocatalytic Demethylation of Guaiacol Derivatives.

Demethylating methyl phenyl ethers is challenging, especially when the products are catechol derivatives prone to follow-up reactions. For biocatalytic demethylation, monooxygenases have previously been described requiring molecular oxygen which may cause oxidative side reactions. Here we show that such compounds can be demethylated anaerobically by using cobalamin-dependent methyltransferases exploiting thiols like ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate as a methyl trap.

Die Lebenssituation von Menschen mit Demenz und pflegenden Angehörigen während der Coronavirus-Pandemie Eine qualitative Studie.

Unlabelled: The life situation of people with dementia and family carers during the coronavirus pandemic - A qualitative study Background: The measures initiated as a result of the coronavirus pandemic have far-reaching consequences for the everyday life of people with dementia and their family carers. Both are usually among those who are the most vulnerable and thus are subject to rigorous restrictions. Their everyday life is made more difficult because care and respite services are currently suspended.

[Challenges in dementia care at home - The situation at home of a married couple].

Unlabelled: Challenges in dementia care at home - The situation at home of a married couple Background: People with dementia and their relatives are faced with major challenges due to complex dementia symptoms. Families need information and counselling in order to find adequate dementia care services tailored to their needs.

Aim: This case report's objective is to exemplify the domestic situation of a married couple who is faced with significant challenges within the family and the care system due to the husband's dementia and Parkinson's disease.
