Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to determine if factors linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affect how often individuals experience dental cavities.
- It involved parents of ASD individuals over 4 years old answering questions about their child's behavior and support needs, and the researchers assessed dental health and behavior during dental visits.
- Results showed that higher dental-caries prevalence (42.9%) was connected to less frequent tooth brushing, higher support needs, and poor mealtime and dental care behavior, emphasizing the need for better oral care strategies for this group.
Magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) stands out as a promising and effective ultrasound-based method for detecting magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) within tissues. This innovative technique relies on the precise estimation of micrometric displacements induced by the interaction of an external magnetic field with MNPs. Pulsed MMUS has emerged as a strategic alternative to address limitations associated with harmonic excitation, such as heat generation in amplifiers and coils, frequency-dependent tissue mechanical responses, and prolonged magnetic field rise times.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five adult subjects showing approximately 40% proximal gingival bleeding were randomized to receive OHt (1 session weekly over 8 weeks) using toothbrush and dental floss or toothbrush alone. The subjects were then followed over 180 days without professional guidance.
(Sauaia & Alves, 1968) is a sciarid that has been continuously cultured in the laboratory for nearly 60 years. Studies on this species have contributed to the understanding of DNA puffs, which are characteristic of Sciaridae, and to the knowledge of more general aspects of insect biology, including cell death, nucleolar organization, and the role of the hormone ecdysone during molting. The genome of has now been sequenced, and it is the third publicly available sciarid genome.
