In conclusion, an SBP level below 130 mmHg was found to be associated with longevity among older women. The longer SBP was controlled at a level between 110 and 130 mmHg, the higher the survival probability to age 90. Preventing age-related rises in SBP and increasing the time with controlled BP levels constitute important measures for achieving longevity.

The office manager from the dentist’s office upstairs found the girl as she returned from lunch. Not knowing what to do, she opened

Towards Regenerative Medicine for Teeth
This popular science article surveys the present state of development towards the goal of regenerating teeth and their supporting structures. In animal studies, researchers have managed to grow and implant whole teeth, though much work remains to better control the processes involved. Similarly, proof of concept studies have demonstrated regrowth of enamel to heal cavities. More advanced is regeneration of dental pulp, where the established techniques of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering can be applied to the problem directly.
Teeth can undergo a lot of damage. In particular, when wily bacteria sneak pa...

Study Uncovers: Brushing Teeth Twice Daily Reduces Heart Disease Risk
Conclusion
The study came full circle, offering an emphatic conclusion.
While a morning brush is a good start, brushing before bedtime takes the crown when it comes to preventing heart diseases.
The act of brushing your teeth, so mundane yet so essential, emerges as a key soldier in the battle against heart disease.
The findings beckon us to look at our toothbrushes differently – as tools of preventative care rather than just instruments of oral hygiene.
The message is clear – taking care of our teeth could mean taking care of our hearts.
After all, our health, as this study suggests, is a...

Making the Mundane Magnificent: A Fresh Approach to Everyday Tasks
We all have those mundane tasks that we can’t seem to shake off our to-do lists – the ones that make us sigh just thinking about them. But let’s challenge this mindset: Is the task boring or are we approaching it with a boring mindset? What if the task isn’t inherently dreadful, but we’re simply being uninteresting in how we approach it? What would happen if we were to bring a fun, engaging, and playful mindset to these tasks?
Consider the simple act of doing household chores. They can often feel tedious, right? But let’s reframe. Instead of approaching them with a sense of dread, I often pai...

Health Equity: Searching for a New Angle
In Disney’s Big Hero 6, the protagonist, Hiro Hamada, will get stuck in a problem after working on it for a while because he’s becoming too set in his way of thinking. And he is only able to find the solution thanks to his brother’s, Tadashi Hamada, words ‘find a new angle, look for another way out.’ Health inequality and discrimination is not a new problem in healthcare. It is a problem that people have been fighting for since the very beginning but we still have not found the solution to achieving health equity. So it might be time to listen to Tadashi and shake things up. Maybe by taking a...

Proud dental school patient shows off a rare gold foil filling
I treat at the dental school in my community, Louisville, Kentucky. I have been a patient there for more than 30 years, so I have had many soon-to-be licensed dentists and dental hygienists look at my teeth. I have never had a bad experience or a clunker as a student in all those years. Students
