(Press-News.org) Alexandria, VA, USA - The Journal of Dental Research (JDR) has announced the publication of a new issue of Advances in Dental Research, a supplement to the Journal of Dental Research (JDR), entitled, "Women in Dental, Clinical, and Translational Research.”
The 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) and the Canadian Association for Dental Research featured a two-day “Meeting Within a Meeting” on the topic of “Women in Dental, Clinical, and Translational Research” organized by AADOCR Then- President Alexandre Vieira. During these sessions, speakers were challenged to reflect on how women are differentially affected by health and societal issues by factors that go beyond biology. The goal was to promote current research on women issues that are relevant to dental, oral, and craniofacial scientists. These sessions are summarized in the upcoming issue of Advances in Dental Research.
Day one provided an overview of sex biology and the origin of sex disparities, the impact of such disparities on the well-being of women, an analysis of the effect of autoimmune diseases on women, and the impact of gender on TMD and orofacial pain processes in the brain. Day two focused on incorporating sex as a biological variable into clinical and translational training, promoting health for underserved populations, and the role of heart disease as a leading cause of death among women.
“To tackle the gap in understanding how dental disease affects women, a focused approach is needed that integrates principles of genetics, cellular and molecular physiology, and pharmacology into dental research,” said AADOCR Past President Alexandre Vieira. “It is essential to highlight ongoing research related to women's dental health, showcase key areas of interest, and pinpoint where knowledge is currently lacking.”
The Meeting Within a Meeting concluded that health promotion for underserved women should encompass gender and health equity and include access to dental care, oral health education, oral health promotion during pregnancy, and cultural competency. It should also address intersectionality to target oral health disparities, incorporate community-based interventions, policy, and advocacy. Collaborative partnerships, preventive care and early intervention, and the empowerment and self-care of women are essential components in this comprehensive approach.

Team Unlocks New Insights on Pulsar Signals
November 26, 2024, Mountain View, CA – Dr. Sofia Sheikh from the SETI Institute led a study that sheds new light on how pulsar signals—the spinning remnants of massive stars—distort as they travel through space. This study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, was performed by a multi-year cohort of undergraduate researchers in the Penn State branch of the Pulsar Search Collaboratory student club. Maura McLaughlin, Chair, Eberly Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy, West Virginia University, created the Pulsar Search Collaboratory to engage ...
Great apes visually track subject-object relationships like humans do
2024-11-26
Great apes track events with their eyes in the same way that humans do, according to a study published November 26th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Vanessa Wilson from the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland, and colleagues.
When watching a cat chase a mouse, humans will alternate looking at cat and mouse, using the information to connect the two into what’s called an agent-patient relationship—with the cat as the agent and the mouse as the patient. This cognitive mechanism is thought to be ...
Recovery of testing for heart disease risk factors post-COVID remains patchy
2024-11-26
Routine screening to detect risk factors for heart disease dropped sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic in England, and some key measurements, such as blood pressure readings, may still lag behind pre-pandemic levels. These findings are reported in a new study by Frederick Ho and Naveed Sattar of the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK, and colleagues published November 26th in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients went without routine face-to-face health checks, which are important for detecting common cardiometabolic ...
Final data and undiscovered images from NASA’s NEOWISE
2024-11-26
While NASA’s NEOWISE telescope ended its journey through space on Nov. 1, 2024, the team at IPAC, a science center at Caltech, was working on one further gift from the prolific mission.
The final data release from NEOWISE was released to the astronomy community just two weeks later, on Nov. 14, encompassing over 26 million images and nearly 200 billion sources detected by the telescope. And today, IPAC is releasing six new images from the mission’s archival data as a tribute to this landmark project, available here: https://www.astropix.org/link/3b2x

Can we avert the looming food crisis of climate change?
2024-11-26
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 2024 – Human activities are causing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to rise, which increases the global average surface temperature—and poses a threat to crop growth. Escalating concerns about climate change’s impact on global food security inspired researchers from Banaras Hindu University in India to create a way to explore how these factors influence crop yields.
In Chaos, from AIP Publishing, the researchers share a mathematical model created to capture the nonlinear relationships between CO2, temperature, human population, ...
Alcohol use and antiobesity medication treatment
2024-11-26
About The Study: This cohort study among individuals participating in a weight loss program found that nearly half of those consuming alcohol at baseline decreased their alcohol use after anti-obesity medication initiation. There may be properties of anti-obesity medications that lead to reduced use. For example, naltrexone decreases cravings for alcohol and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may attenuate the rewarding effects of alcohol, similar to food.

New era in amphibian biology
2024-11-26
Amphibians hold a significant place in evolution, representing the transition from aquatic to terrestrial lifestyles. They are crucial for understanding the brain and spinal cord of tetrapods—animals with four limbs, including humans. A group of scientists led by a team at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) now shows how harmless viruses can be used to illuminate the development of the frog nervous system. The results have now been published in Developmental Cell.
Virus. When you hear the word, you probably shudder. But not all viruses are bad or cause disease. Some are even used for therapeutic ...
