In historical illustrations and caricatures, the extraction of a tooth served as a powerful metaphor and threatening gesture that extended far beyond the medical context. This article examines the symbolic significance of this dental procedure and the extracted tooth as an expression of loss, disempowerment, and territorial dispossession. The comparison covers a wide range of visual representations from the French Revolution (1789-1799), the French July Revolution (1830), the Crimean War (1853-1856), the Austro-Prussian War (1866), the Franco-Prussian War (1870/71), to the First (1914-1918) and Second (1939-1945) World Wars and places them in their respective historical contexts.

Article Synopsis
- Type 1 diabetes (T1D) screening can help prevent severe complications by testing islet autoantibodies (IAbs) in children, especially since most cases don't have a family history; a single screening at ages 3-5 is suggested.* -
- In a study conducted in Oxfordshire, UK, 134 parents were invited to participate, and 66 were recruited; almost all enrolled children (97%) successfully provided blood samples, identifying one child with T1D autoantibodies.* -
- Parents generally supported the idea of screening during routine vaccinations, emphasizing that combining the two would encourage participation, although there are concerns about the amount of blood needed for testing.*
