Risk factors for temporomandibular disorders: a systematic review of cohort studies.

Objective: A systematic review was performed to synthesize and identify risk factors involved in TMD onset.

Study Design: Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, PsyInfo and Lilacs databases, as well as in three gray literature databases (Google Scholar, ProQuest and Open grey). The studies were blindly assessed by two reviewers and selected by a pre-defined eligibility criterion.

Flood pulse as a driving force of Pb variation in four fish guilds from Puruzinho Lake (western Amazon).

The Brazilian Amazon is heavily impacted by mining activities, especially by gold and cassiterite mining. Pb is a contaminant released during cassiterite extraction, and it stands out for its high toxicity. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of flood pulse on Pb dynamics in four fish species with different feeding habits (Cichlapleiozona: carnivorous, Mylossomaduriventre: herbivorous, Prochilodus nigricans: detritivorous, and Serrasalmus rhombeus: piscivorous) over four hydrological periods in Puruzinho Lake (Brazilian Amazon), which receives water from the Madeira River.

Disocclusion guides in occlusal splints on temporomandibular disorders and sleep bruxism: a systematic review.

Objective: To determine the best disocclusion guidance in occlusal splints (OSs) to manage and treat temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and sleep bruxism (SB).

Study Design: The research was conducted on 7 major electronic databases and 3 gray literature sources. We included randomized trials, nonrandomized clinical trials, and before-and-after studies.

Spatial-temporal dynamics of Cr in fish from Puruzinho Lake (Western Amazon) and dietary risk assessment.

Cr contamination is a growing concern in the Amazon. Along with the rise of cattle farming in the region, tanneries are becoming more common and threatening environmental quality, since the effluents from this activity are rich in Cr. The objective of this study was to evaluate the seasonal and spatial dynamics of Cr in fish with different feeding habits from Puruzinho Lake, located in the Madeira River basin, also determining the daily intake of Cr associated with the consumption of these fish by the population that lives around the lake.

Risk of exposure to Hg and pesticides residues in a traditional fishing community in the Amazon: a probabilistic approach based on dietary pattern.

Exposure to mercury (Hg) and pesticides (o.p'DDT, p.p'DDT, o.

Dental education and undue exposure of patients' image in social media: A literature review.

Introduction: The benefits of social media for health education and communication have been discussed in the literature. However, the indiscriminate utilisation by dental students and professionals, and the effects on patients' privacy and confidentiality are still little explored.

Objective: To investigate the exposure of patients' images in social media by dental students and professionals, as well as to explore how this issue is addressed in dental schools.

Bismuth Vanadate Photoelectrodes with High Photovoltage as Photoanode and Photocathode in Photoelectrochemical Cells for Water Splitting.

Using dual-photoelectrode photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices based on earth-abundant metal oxides for unbiased water splitting is an attractive means of producing green H fuel, but is challenging, owing to low photovoltages generated by PEC cells. This problem can be solved by coupling n-type BiVO with n-type Bi V O to create a virtual p/n junction due to the formation of a hole-inversion layer at the semiconductor interface. Thus, photoelectrodes with high photovoltage outputs were synthesized.
