Severe odontogenic infections in patients with mental disorders-the challenge of ineffective initial treatment.

Objectives: This study clarified possible delays and deficiencies in severe odontogenic infection (OI) treatment in patients with mental disorders.

Study Design: Data of hospitalized patients with severe OI were evaluated retrospectively. The outcome variable was preceding health care visits prior to hospitalization.

mA mRNA methylation in brown fat regulates systemic insulin sensitivity via an inter-organ prostaglandin signaling axis independent of UCP1.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates systemic metabolism by releasing signaling lipids. N-methyladenosine (mA) is the most prevalent and abundant post-transcriptional mRNA modification and has been reported to regulate BAT adipogenesis and energy expenditure. Here, we demonstrate that the absence of mA methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) modifies the BAT secretome to improve systemic insulin sensitivity independent of UCP1.

The knowledge of and educational interest in sexual medicine among Finnish medical and midwifery students: A web-based study.

Introduction: Many elements of life can affect sexual health; thus, healthcare professionals require good knowledge of sexual medicine to encounter patients with these issues. We aimed to study final-year medical and midwifery students' self-reported knowledge of factors associated with sexuality and their knowledge of how to evaluate and treat/counsel patients with sexual problems. In addition, educational interests regarding sexual medicine were assessed.

Attitudes and practice patterns of Finnish obstetrician-gynecologists regarding patients' sexual problems.

Objective: Female sexual problems are common but are not routinely assessed in obstetrician-gynecologist appointments. Therefore, we evaluated obstetrician-gynecologists' attitudes and practice patterns regarding their patients' sexual problems.

Study Design: A web-based questionnaire was used to collect information from each respondent on gender, age, education, occupational status, and the total number of patients treated per day and sexual issues dealt with per day.

Associations of Lifestyle Patterns with Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Finnish Adults at Increased Risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

Scope: Various lifestyle and sociodemographic factors have been associated with risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, their combined associations with T2D risk factors have been studied much less.

Materials And Results: This study investigates cross-sectional associations of lifestyle patterns with T2D risk factors among 2925 adults at increased risk participating in the Stop Diabetes study.
