Motivation: The availability of longitudinal omics data is increasing in metabolomics research. Viewing metabolomics data over time provides detailed insight into biological processes and fosters understanding of how systems react over time. However, the analysis of longitudinal metabolomics data poses various challenges, both in terms of statistical evaluation and visualization.

- This study assessed Oral Health Behaviour (OHB) in 2-year-old children using a questionnaire, focusing on factors like health, socioeconomic status, and psychosocial elements.
- The research included 730 participants and found that overall OHB was good, with a significant percentage eating fruits/vegetables, brushing regularly, and having dental check-ups.
- Results indicated that single-parent households and parents with mental health issues were linked to lower OHB scores, highlighting the importance of social support and parental health in promoting better oral health habits in children.*
Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are linked to low levels of natriuretic peptide (NP) and reduced NP guanylyl cyclase receptor-A (GCA) in muscles and fat tissue.
- Research in mice shows that lack of ANP/GCA leads to metabolic issues and prediabetes, causing insulin resistance and poor endurance.
- ANP/GCA is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial function and oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle, suggesting it plays a key role in the development of prediabetes.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the precipitation of Cerium(III)nitrate hexahydrate [Ce(NO)] or Samarium(III)nitrate hexahydrate [Sm(NO)] solutions on human enamel with and without a salivary pellicle. Investigated parameters were At%Ce and At%Sm measured using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) after test solution (two concentrations) application.
Materials And Methods: Precipitation of Ce(NO) and Sm(NO) solutions was examined on human enamel with and without a salivary pellicle.
