ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS FOR DENTAL CARIES IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS.

Objective: The aim: To identify, structure and evaluate the degree of influence of risk factors on the intensity of dental caries in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus to improve caries-preventive measures.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 179 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged 18 to 56 years with a disease duration from 1 to 50 years were examined. 157 patients had various chronic diabetic complications.

Depressive symptoms in Latina mothers in an emerging immigrant community.

Objectives: Latina mothers in emerging immigrant communities experience heightened risk for depressive symptoms because of the convergence of multiple risk factors rooted in economic, cultural, and familial experiences. Previous research with Latina/o adolescents has found that discrimination, and not acculturative stress, predicts depressive symptoms; however, no research to our knowledge has examined the relative impact of both discrimination and acculturative stress in Latina mothers.

Method: The present study expands this literature by examining how both universal (i.

Ethnic-racial socialization in Latino families: The influence of mothers' socialization practices on adolescent private regard, familism, and perceived ethnic-racial discrimination.

Objectives: Cultural value endorsement and ethnic-racial identity promote Latino/a adolescent positive adaptation and mitigate the negative impacts of perceived ethnic-racial discrimination. This study explored the intergenerational process of how adolescents develop these cultural characteristics in concert with their experiences of discrimination, focusing on the role of youth-reported maternal ethnic-racial socialization processes.

Method: Participants included 175 Latino/a adolescent-mother dyads recruited from the 7th and 8th grades in an understudied emerging immigrant destination.

[CHANGING THE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ORAL LIQUID FOR OBESITY].

The study of oral fluid homeostasis is a valuable noninvasive technique for diagnosing the general state of the organism, as well as the initial stages of the pathological processes in the tissues oral cavity. The results of studies of changes in the physiological properties of the oral fluid (pH, salivary flow rate, viscosity) in obesity.

Self-distancing from trauma memories reduces physiological but not subjective emotional reactivity among Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder.

Self-distancing, or viewing oneself from a third-person perspective, reduces reactivity when analyzing one's feelings. Self-distancing may have important effects among individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who have heightened emotional and physiological reactivity to trauma memories, but the effects of self-distancing in this group are unclear. We randomly assigned 48 Veterans diagnosed with PTSD to analyze their trauma-related feelings from an immersed (first-person) or distanced (third-person) perspective, and measured physiological and subjective emotional reactivity.

Psychosocial Functioning and Health-Related Quality of Life Associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Male and Female Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans: The VALOR Registry.

Objectives: Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffer from high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Given the growing number of women in the military, there is a critical need to understand the nature and extent of potential gender differences in PTSD-associated psychosocial functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans, which has not been studied to date.

Methods: We used data from a gender-balanced national patient registry of warzone-deployed OEF/OIF veterans (Project VALOR: Veterans After-Discharge Longitudinal Registry) to determine the impact of gender on PTSD-related psychosocial functioning and HRQOL in 1,530 United States Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans (50% female) with and without PTSD.

[The bipolarity of the genetic structure of communities of the crucian carp (Carassius linnaeus, 1758) as a reflection of paradoxal reproductive relationships].

An analysis of 133 populations of Carasiius spp. from water bodies in Ukraine showed their polyspecific structure: 62% of individuals of the studied 3453 specimens. turned out to be bisexual goldfishes C.

High frequency electromechanical memory cells based on telescoping carbon nanotubes.

A new method to increase the operational frequency of electromechanical memory cells based on the telescoping motion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes through the selection of the form of the switching voltage pulse is proposed. The relative motion of the walls of carbon nanotubes can be controlled through the shape of the interwall interaction energy surface. This allows the use of the memory cells in nonvolatile or volatile regime, depending on the structure of carbon nanotube.

[Age-related characteristics of the myeloarchitectonics of the peripheral nerves].

By means of macromicroscopy and microscopy myeloarchitectonics of morphologically and functionally different somatic and visceral nerves (branches: mandibular nerve, cervical spinal nerves, inferior laryngeal nerve, hepatic plexus) have been studied in 11 age groups. During the prenatal period of ontogenesis asynchronism of myelogenesis is stated in various muscle branches of the nerves, dependent on formation of function in corresponding muscles and muscle groups. As demonstrate investigations on peculiarities of myelogenesis course in the somatic and visceral nerves studied, during the period of pre- and postnatal ontogenesis, its dynamics embraces three stages of myelogenesis, determined by G.
