Moreover, oral health educa- tion provided in an educational set- ting, combined with professional preventative oral care in a dental clinic, was effective in reducing caries in children’s permanent teeth, the re- searchersfound. Another most promising interven- tion approach for reducing caries in children—although additional research is needed—appears to be improving access to fluoride in its various forms and reducing sugar consumption, Hegde told Dental Tribune Online.

Saliva may indicate susceptibility to depression in boys ByDTI CAMBRIDGE, UK: For the first time, researchers at the University of Cam- bridge have identified a biomarker for major or clinical depression in hu- man saliva. An examination of saliva samples of hundreds of teenagers re- vealed that boys especially may be at thegreatestriskofdepression. Following a group of boys and girls over 12 to 36 months by measuring levels of cortisol in their saliva, as well as collecting self-reported informa- tion on symptoms of depression, the researchers found that boys with depressive symptoms and elevated morning cortisol were 14 times more likely to develop clinical depression comparedwithboyswithneither. However, the connection was not as distinctive in female participants. Girlswithhighcortisolanddepressive symptomswerefourtimesmorelike- ly to develop depression, suggesting differences between the sexes in how depressiondevelops. Clinical depression is a severe and common illness, affecting one in six people at some point in their lives, according to the researchers. To date, however, scientists have lacked vali- dated biomarkers for the condition in the youth population at large to aid the detection of at-risk groups for depressioningeneralandinboysand youngmeninparticular,partlyowing toitsvariouscausesandsymptoms. “Through our research, we now have a very real way of identifying those teenage boys most likely to develop clinical depression,” said Prof. Ian Goodyer from the university’s De- partmentofPsychiatry.“Thiswillhelp usstrategicallytargetpreventionsand interventionsattheseindividualsand hopefully help reduce their risk of se- riousepisodesofdepressionandtheir consequencesinadultlife.” The study, titled “Elevated morning cortisol is a stratified population-level biomarker for major depression in boysonlywithhighdepressivesymp- toms”, was published on 18 February in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United StatesofAmericajournal. ◊Page1 EN_205x275_Maxcem Elite Chroma ADV.pdf 131.08.1617:10
