Evaluation of periodontal parameters on abutment teeth rehabilitated with single-unit crowns: A 12-month follow-up.

Purpose: This prospective study evaluated the effects of the metal-free crowns on the periodontal tissues of abutment teeth during a 12-month follow-up.

Materials And Methods: A sample of 24 patients (N = 32 abutment teeth) who needed a single-tooth restoration were enrolled to receive either a metal-ceramic (n = 21) or lithium disilicate (n = 11). The single-unit crowns were evaluated at baseline, 3-and 12-month follow-up.

Complete denture rehabilitation for a patient with Parkinson's disease using clinical strategies: A case report.

Objective: To present clinical strategies for prosthetic rehabilitation with complete dentures (CDs) of a Parkinson's disease patient.

Case Report: An 82-year-old patient sought the Department of Dentistry at UFRN, reporting retention dissatisfaction and hamper to the mandibular CD adaptation. Patient-reported a dry mouth sensation, and exhibited disordered mandibular movements, tremors, and resorbed mandibular ridge.

Is level of anxiety associated with overweight and obesity risk in university students? The NUTSAU Study.

Introduction: effective ways of overcoming overweight may depend, in part, on the ability to identify mood disorders (anxiety is most prevalent) and their association with overeating and weight gain. The use of anthropometric indicators for such purposes can inform individual strategies for intervention before obesity sets in. Objective: to verify the association between anxiety and anthropometric indicators in university students.

Eating habits of children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic: The impact of social isolation.

Background: The social isolation enforced as a result of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may impact families' lifestyle and eating habits. The present study aimed to assess the behaviour and dietary patterns of Brazilian children and adolescents during the social isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: The present study was conducted using an online, anonymous cross-sectional survey with 589 children and 720 adolescents from Brazil during a nationwide social isolation policy.

Mechanism of Action of Limonene in Tumor Cells: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Cancer is a complex, multifactorial disease, and a major public health problem, as it is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although treatments have significantly improved, still more effective drugs are searched. One source for these drugs is natural products (NPs).

Inflammatory modulation of fluoxetine use in patients with depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

There is growing evidence that there is a relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD), also simply known as "depression", and inflammatory processes. Selective serotonin inhibitors, such as fluoxetine, are used as a first-line treatment for depression, and it is hypothesized that its use can reduce levels of proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to enable a better understanding of how treatment with the antidepressant fluoxetine modulates inflammation, and the roles of the main cytokines in this process.

Addition of oat bran reduces HDL-C and does not potentialize effect of a low-calorie diet on remission of metabolic syndrome: A pragmatic, randomized, controlled, open-label nutritional trial.

Objectives: It is unclear whether addition of soluble fiber to a low-calorie diet potentializes weight loss and amelioration of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of oat bran on prevalence of MetS and associated disorders.

Methods: A pragmatic, randomized controlled, 6-wk nutritional trial was carried out with 154 outpatients (mean age 47.

Facial pain associated with fibromyalgia can be marked by abnormal neuromuscular control: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) development in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is not yet fully understood, but altered neuromuscular control in FMS may play a role in triggering TMD.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify the association between neuromuscular control and chronic facial pain in groups of patients with FMS and TMD.

Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted.

Longitudinal clinical evaluation of undercut areas and rest seats of abutment teeth in removable partial denture treatment.

Purpose: Adequate preparation of abutment teeth for removable partial denture (RPD) rest seats allows appropriate masticatory force transmission, retention, and stability of supporting structures. It follows that careful preparation will be important for the longevity of the rehabilitation. The present study aimed to clinically evaluate rest seats and undercut areas of abutment teeth in RPD wearers after 2 years of use.

Bariatric surgery: impact on body composition after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of bariatric surgery on the body composition of patients suffering from class III obesity at different postoperative time intervals.

Methods: The body composition of 114 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery was measured prior to surgery (T0) and then 30 (T30) and 180 (T180) days following surgery. Body composition was evaluated using the following parameters: total body mass, body mass index, excess weight, percentage of excess weight loss, relative body fat (%F), lean body mass (LBM), and fat tissue mass (FTM).

Antioxidant intake among Brazilian adults--the Brazilian Osteoporosis Study (BRAZOS): a cross-sectional study.

Background: Antioxidant nutrient intake and the lesser formation of free radicals seem to contribute to chronic diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the intake profile of the main dietary antioxidants in a representative sample of the adult Brazilian population and discuss the main consequences of a low intake of these micronutrients on overall health.

Methods: The sample comprised 2344 individuals aged 40 years or older from 150 cities and was based on a probabilistic sample from official data.
