Purpose: To analyze the influence of temperature on the flow/texture of different foods, immediately after preparation and after one hour, and 2) To compare the influence of varying the cook in food preparation, in relation to food flow.
Methods: This is a quantitative and experimental study. The IDDSI standardized flow test was used to evaluate the remaining volume in the syringe and the levels of foods (porridge, smoothie, liquid soup, and pureed light soup) prepared by different cooks, in triplicate, at time zero (T0) and after one hour (T1).
Results: Differences in temperature were observed in all foods at T0 and T1 (p < 0.05). The IDDSI level changed only in porridge, from level 3 to 4 (p = 0.043). Modifications were observed in the preparation by different cooks for smoothie, on the 2nd and 3rd day (p = 0.049), from level 3 to 4 of IDDSI. In porridge, on the 1st and 3rd day (p = 0.048) and 2nd and 3rd day (p = 0.048), with a change from level 4 to 3 of IDDSI.
Conclusion: The temperature of all foods differed within the one-hour interval, with modifications in the flow test and in the IDDSI levels, from level 3 to 4, only for porridge. Different cooks prepared the smoothie and porridge with different characteristics, resulting in changes from level 3 to 4 in both foods.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate bone remodeling in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during canine distalization in obese individuals and compare it to that in normal-weight individuals. Additionally, the orthodontic tooth movement rates of obese individuals were measured and compared with those of normal-weight individuals.
Methods: Thirty-six patients (18 obese and 18 normal-weight) aged 12-18 years who were candidates for maxillary first premolar extraction for Angle Class II malocclusion were included in the study.

Background: Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by severe, unilateral, pulsating headaches with visual, olfactory, and auditory hypersensitivity, as well as autonomic symptoms. Currently, triptans are the standard treatment, but they often fail to relieve symptoms. Herbal medicines are alternative treatments to overcome these limitations.

Hyperperfusion is related to vessel recanalization, tissue reperfusion, and collateral circulation. To determine the prognostic impact of hyperperfusion after an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) identified by arterial spin labeling (ASL) cerebral blood flow. Studies published in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched.

Introduction: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is common with viral encephalitis in children which is associated with complications and prognosis. The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a new indicator for the assessment of intracranial pressure using ultrasound, CT scan and MRI imaging. Given the influence of physical development on ONSD size in children, we expect more accurate assessment of intracranial pressure with ONSD/ETD (eyeball transverse diameter) ratio by ultrasound.

Lesions of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord in adult macaque monkeys lead to the loss of hand inputs and large-scale expansion of the face inputs in the hand region of the somatosensory cortex. Inputs from alternate spinal pathways do not reactivate the deafferented regions of area 3b. Here, we determined how transections of the dorsal columns done within a few days after birth affect the developing somatosensory cortex.
