Objective: The present study aimed to investigate associations between reasons for seeking dental services, considering the last dental appointment of adolescents, and their educational features, socioeconomic and oral health status, and oral health literacy.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 746 adolescents aged 15-19 years in Campina Grande (Paraíba), Brazil. Parents/guardians answered a socioeconomic questionnaire.

Background: E-health entails the use of information and communication technologies in support of health and health-related activities. E-health increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland. The pandemic showed that the e-health environment may be an important element of the response to epidemiological challenges.

B3GNT5, a critical member of the β-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase gene family involved in lactose and glycosphingolipids biosynthesis, has been documented to promote tumor-infiltrating T-cell responses. Our research utilized the Pan-Cancer dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to explore the functional role of B3GNT5. Our study demonstrated that the antibody-driven inhibition of B3GNT5 diminished T cell-mediated anti-tumor responses in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

To clarify the structural safety and stability of partial cable-stayed bridges with multiple towers and high piers during the construction stage, a finite element analysis model of the entire construction process was established using a five-tower, six-span, partial cable-stayed bridge in Shaanxi Province, China, as the engineering background. Linear elasticity and nonlinear stability analyses were carried out in the following key construction stages: bare tower construction, maximum cantilever construction without cables, maximum cantilever construction with cables, side-span closure, secondary mid-span closure, mid-span closure, and second-phase paving. A sensitivity analysis of the structural parameters (the main tower stiffness, main pier stiffness, and main beam stiffness) was conducted.
