- The study investigated how genetics and environment affect changes in palatal (roof of the mouth) shape during tooth development.
- Using 3D digital models of dental casts from 228 twin pairs, researchers measured different dimensions of the palate at various dental stages and analyzed the data with genetic modeling techniques.
- Results showed that while most palatal dimensions increased over time, genetic factors played a significant role, especially in the posterior region, and non-shared environmental factors were also important throughout development.
Article Synopsis
- One in three women experience Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), which impacts both their health and breastfeeding, but there is a lack of research on how these two experiences overlap.
- The study uses a qualitative approach to gather insights from Swedish women who have lived through IPV while breastfeeding, analyzing their stories to understand their experiences.
- Findings reveal that women face various IPV manifestations like being controlled or devalued, often in a way that is less recognized as violence, and these experiences are influenced by their personal context and the surrounding patriarchal society.
Objective: Cognitive-behavioral therapy for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID; CBT-AR) shows promise in improving clinical outcomes in children/adolescents and adults. We aimed to identify predictors of outcomes in CBT-AR. We hypothesized that younger age, non-underweight status, and presence of the fear of aversive consequences profile of ARFID would predict greater likelihood of remission post-treatment, and that presence of the lack of interest in eating/food and sensory sensitivity profiles would predict greater likelihood of persistence post-treatment.
