Association between maternal cardiometabolic risk factors and oral health of in...

Maternal health conditions during pregnancy influence infant health1-3. Cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs), such as obesity, hypertension, and gestational diabetes, increase maternal and neonatal complications due to chronic inflammation, which disrupts immune and endocrine adaptation4,5. While the effects of CRFs on infant development are well studied, their impact on oral health remains unclear. Therefore, t...

Newborn Epiphysiolysis of the Proximal Humerus

Musculoskeletal injuries resulting from childbirth trauma, including humeral head epiphysiolysis, are rare. This case report describes the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and mid-term follow-up of a premature male newborn with humeral head epiphysiolysis due to birth trauma. The infant exhibited limited left shoulder mobility and internal rotation preference. An ultrasound confirmed epi...

The role of biotics as a therapeutic strategy for oral mucositis - a systematic...

Objectives: Oral mucositis (OM) is an acute and highly prevalent side effect of cancer treatments. Currently, there is no effective strategy for its prevention or treatment. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of biotics used as a therapeutic strategy for the management of OM. Materials and Methods: The PRISMA checklist was followed and PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were screened for c...

Potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life: the role of...

In early life, maternal factors are of the utmost relevance for oral microbiome acquisition and maturation. Therefore, our study explored the impact of maternal factors, such as saliva and breastmilk colonization, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), type of delivery, oral health, and caregiving habits on the prevalence of potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life. A total of 26 healthy m...

Vertical transmission and antifungal susceptibility profile of yeast isolates f...

Yeast acquisition begins at birth; however, the contribution of the mother on yeast trans mission to the offspring and associated resistance is yet to be clarified. The aim of this study was to explore the vertical transmission of yeasts and their antifungal susceptibility profile in early life. Oral, fecal, and breastmilk samples were collected from 73 mother–child pairs four to twelve weeks after delivery and...

Multimodal Visual, Auditory, Thermal, and Tactile Feedback During Brain-Machine...

Background: Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have the potential to replace and expand body functions, but also to induce neuroplasticity. In BMIs that include virtual reality and tactile feedback, it is thought that the underlying mechanism may be partially dependent on immersiveness (i.e., how “realistic” the environment is). It is not known however, if continuously increasing the number of simulation modalitie...

Embodiment comfort levels during motor imagery training combined with immersive...

Brain–machine interfaces combining visual, auditory, and tactile feedback have been previously used to generate embodiment experiences during spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. It is not known if adding temperature to these modalities can result in discomfort with embodiment experiences. Here, comfort levels with the embodiment experiences were investigated in an intervention that required a chronic pain ...

Pelvic floor muscle training protocol for stress urinary incontinence in women:...

Strengthening exercises for pelvic floor muscles (SEPFM) are considered the first approach in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Nevertheless, there is no evidence about training parameters. To identify the protocol and/or most effective training parameters in the treatment of female SUI. A literature research was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro, Web of Science and Lilacs datab...

Measuring attachment to life in old age: the Portuguese version of the Positive...

Purpose This study aims to present the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Positive Valuation of Life Scale (Lawton et al. in J Aging Ment Healt 13:3–31, 2001). Method Sample included 207 community-dwelling elders (129 women; MAge = 77.2 years, SD = 7.5). The data collection included the translated and adapted Portuguese version of Positive Valuation of Life Scale, Life Satisfac- tion Index...
