Evaluation of the Capacity to Produce Histamine by Histamine-Producing Bacteria during Storage at 10℃.

Histamine is produced from histidine using histidine decarboxylase of histamine-producing bacteria. However, associated histamine food poisoning demands microbiological controls. Furthermore, studies reported that histamine production by histamine-producing bacteria is affected by temperature.

Occlusal support and postural stability in children: An observational study.

Background: The relationship between uneven occlusal contact and fall risk has been described in elderly participants; however, multiple confounding factors, such as systemic disease or deterioration in vestibular function, have not been well considered. This study aimed to investigate this relationship in pediatric participants at the age of approximately 9-12, where these confounding factors are absent and the replacement of primary molars by permanent ones generally occurs and transiently results in uneven occlusal contact.

Methods: Sixty-five children (36 boys and 29 girls, mean age: 9.
