Article Abstract
Background: Emotional eaters eat to relieve their emotions. However, food also contains esthetic information. People generally perceive ugly food as unhealthy and unpalatable. Does the esthetic information of food influence an emotional eater's desire for food in a negative emotional state? In particular, do they have the same lower eating intentions for low esthetic food as non-emotional eaters?
Objective/design/measures: Based on these questions, the present study examined whether the esthetic value of food influences emotional eaters' desires for food. The experiment used a 2 (eating type: emotional eating vs. non-emotional eating) × 2 (food style: high esthetic vs. low esthetic) mixed experimental design. We measured the emotional and non-emotional eaters' eating intentions for different esthetic foods when experiencing negative emotions.
Results: The results showed that emotional eaters have higher intention to eat high esthetic foods. However, they did not have a high eating intention for all foods, and their eating intention did not differ from that of non-emotional eaters when faced with low esthetic food.
Conclusion: In conclusion, food esthetic value can affect individual eating intentions. Even for emotional eaters who are in a negative mood, they also did not have a higher eating intention for low esthetic food compared with no-emotional eater.
Level Of Evidence: Level II: controlled trial without randomization.

Objective: This clinical case describes a multidisciplinary retreatment of a patient with anterior fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) using minimally invasive restorations and a biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT).
Clinical Considerations: A 56-year-old female patient, treated 30 years ago with a metal-ceramic FDP due to dental agenesis, presented a misfit prosthesis at the gingival margin, black spaces, and food retention at the pontics. Notably, tooth number 2.
Background: Acanthacoccus lagerstroemiae (crape myrtle bark scale, CMBS) is an exotic scale insect that feeds on the sap of crape myrtle trees. Heavy infestations of CMBS reduce flowering and honeydew promotes sooty mold growth on the leaves and branches, reducing the aesthetic value of crape myrtle trees in urban landscapes. Lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are generalist predators that feed on CMBS.
Importance: Diverse racial and ethnic representation in clinical trials has been limited, not representative of the US population, and the subject of pending US Food and Drug Administration guidance. Psoriasis presentation and disease burden can vary by skin pigmentation, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic differences. Overall, there are limited primary data on clinical response, genetics, and quality of life in populations with psoriasis and skin of color (SoC).
Residential lawn management often includes fertilizer application to encourage healthy plant growth and support the aesthetic preferences of homeowners and communities. These inputs may negatively impact the environment by increasing nutrient export to aquatic ecosystems via surface runoff or leaching through soil into groundwater. Fertilizer management and nutrient export are of particular concern in karst areas like North-Central Florida, where the underlying karst geology leads to rapid, direct connections between surface and groundwater ecosystems.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of ceramic veneers after 9-10 years, assess patient-reported outcomes, and examine their associations.
Materials And Methods: Thirty patients with ceramic veneers aged 9-10 years were recalled for a clinical examination. Each participant completed a questionnaire on satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life, specifically using the Oral Impact on Daily Performance (OIDP) scale.
