Current methods used by health providers in early detection of oral cancers have some shortcomings, this is why, besides the clinical examination that combines the study of the head and neck, oral cavity, and the evaluation of general health status, now are available new ones, like intra oral camera, digital imaging, and computerized expert systems which offer new opportunities for clinically significant data collection, analysis, storing and use. Oral cancers are part of the upper aero-digestive cancers therefore they share the same epidemiologic features and risk factors. Main risk factors are tobacco and alcohol consumption. In the last decades, compared to men, women are increasingly exposed to these risk factors. Oral diagnostic specialties can offer a pro-active influence in the research of oral cancers and both professional and oral research associations can participate in establishing new strategies in oral cancers early detection.

A multi-omics study of the association between insomnia with objective short sleep duration phenotype and high blood pressure.
Sleep
January 2025
Department of Sleep Medicine, Mental Health Center of Shantou University, Shantou, Guangdong, People`s Republic of China.
Study Objectives: Insomnia with objective short sleep duration is associated with increased hypertension risk. We aimed to explore the mechanism underlying the association between objective short sleep duration and hypertension in patients with chronic insomnia disorder (CID) by multi-omics.
Methods: CID was defined according to International Classification of Sleep Disorders-3, and objective short sleep was based on the median value of total sleep time of the overall subjects during an overnight polysomnography.
Ultraprocessed Food Consumption and Obesity Development in Canadian Children.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: Ultraprocessed foods (UPF), characterized as shelf-stable but nutritionally imbalanced foods, pose a public health crisis worldwide. In adults, UPF consumption is associated with increased obesity risk, but findings among children are inconsistent.
Objectives: To examine the associations among UPF intake, anthropometric adiposity indicators, and obesity status in Canadian children.
Behavioural and psychological symptoms of people with dementia in acute hospital settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Age Ageing
January 2025
Centre for Psychiatry and Mental Health, Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Queen Mary University of London, London, E13 8SP, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Background: Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can complicate acute hospital care, but evidence on BPSD in this setting is heterogeneous.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of BPSD in acute hospitals and explore related risk factors, treatments, and outcomes (PROSPERO: CRD42023406294).
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO for studies on BPSD prevalence among older people with dementia during their acute hospital admissions (up to 5 March 2024).
Dynamic proportional loss of functional connectivity revealed change of left superior frontal gyrus in subjective cognitive decline: an explanatory study based on Chinese and Western cohorts.

Institute of Biomedical Engineering, School of Life Sciences, Shanghai University, Shanghai, 200444, China.
Brain network dynamics have been extensively explored in patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD). However, these studies are susceptible to individual differences, scanning parameters, and other confounding factors. Therefore, how to reveal subtle SCD-related subtle changes remains unclear.

Medical Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseaseas (including Lipid Metabolism), Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
The current study examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between nocturia and frailty in a cohort of men and women aged 60 years and older, as evidence on this topic was lacking. We analyzed baseline and follow-up data (n = 1671) from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II), a prospective longitudinal cohort study focusing on the factors associated with "healthy" vs. "unhealthy" aging.
