Research reveals strong connections between longitudinal beverage intakes and adolescent caries experience, with higher sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and lower fluoride intakes leading to increased caries risk. The study emphasizes the importance of adjusting for preventive factors such as brushing frequency in future studies.
Researchers analyzed 5,298 patients with surgically removed ampullary tumors and found no survival benefit from adjuvant therapy. Patients receiving additional chemotherapy or radiation therapy did not show improved stage-specific survival rates compared to those who underwent surgery alone.
Recent discoveries on proteoglycan roles in bone and tooth development have been made, challenging previously held views of their structural function. The symposium aims to provide an update on these findings, which have significant implications for mineralized tissue biology and craniofacial development.
A recent study published by British American Tobacco found that vaping does not cause the same level of tooth discoloration as smoking. The research used cow's teeth to test the impact of e-cigarette vapour and tobacco-heated products on tooth colour, with surprising results.
A new climate model, POEM, has been developed by Russian and German scientists to accelerate research in climate science. The model addresses complex tasks such as ice age periodization and climate forecasting, providing a more efficient alternative to existing models.
A Singapore-led team of Asian cancer researchers has won the prestigious AACR Team Science Award for their groundbreaking work on cancers prevalent in Asia. The team's research has identified new genes and pathways, translated findings into clinical trials, and informed government policies.
