Purpose: To investigate the relationship between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and usage period of complete dentures.
Materials And Methods: Data were obtained from 432 edentulous patients who required complete dentures as part of an investigation registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Center (UMINCTR clinical trial, unique trial number: 000028711). Mandibular ridge form, denture quality, and usage period of the dentures were recorded and incorporated into a multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: Multiple linear regression analysis in the 267 participants who completed the study demonstrated significant effects on OHRQoL of mandibular ridge form, mandibular denture stability and retention, accuracy of jaw relation recording, and usage period of dentures.
Conclusion: A significant relationship between the usage period of dentures and OHRQoL in complete denture wearers was noted when the effects of mandibular ridge form and denture quality were controlled for.

Investigating the Effect of Capric Acid on Antibiotic-Induced Autism-Like Behavior in Rodents.

Owing to the high prevalence of gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients, the gut-brain axis is considered to play a vital role in neurodevelopment diseases. Recent pieces of evidence have pointed to the usage of antibiotics at an early developmental stage to be a causative factor in autism due to its ability to induce critical changes in the gut microbiota. The purpose of the study is to determine the neuroprotective effect of capric acid (CA) on autism in antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis in rodents.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, diagnostic testing was not accessible for mildly ill or asymptomatic individuals. Military operational circumstances exclude the usage of reference laboratory tests. For that reason, at the beginning of the pandemic alternative test methods were needed in order to gain insight into the SARS-CoV-2 status of military personnel.

Introduction: Digital media have become integral to schoolchildren's lives, both within educational and non-educational settings. Educators emphasize the importance of bridging the gap between school learning and children's out-of-school activities. To identify potential variations and commonalities, we investigated key situations with digital media among lower secondary schoolchildren in Germany, aiming to determine which themes are especially relevant in different settings.

Researchers have concentrated on identifying factors that might mitigate the negative consequences associated with cyber victimization. One key factor that has garnered significant attention is parental mediation in adolescents' digital technology usage and its role in reducing the risk of cyber victimization. Additionally, the buffering effects of parental mediation on the longitudinal associations among cyberbullying victimization, depression, and self-harm have been underexplored, especially cross-cultural investigations of such effects.
