The relationship between pregnancy and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) through diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) axis II evaluation: a case-control cross-sectional study
DiscussionThe
findings suggest that pregnancy is neither a risk nor a protective
factor for TMD. Differences in pain perception, functional status, and
psychological health were observed in pregnant women but were not
consistent for all TMD-related aspects. The role of estrogen in TMJ
health and TMD risk is complex and requires further study. The research
highlights the necessity of including mental health, especially
depression, in TMD assessments. More comprehensive research with larger
sample sizes is essential to better understand the connections between
pregnancy, TMD, and hormones, aiming to improve TMD mana...

Why Your Diet Needs More Fermented Pickles
Maybe you heard somewhere that pickles are a “superfood,” and dutifully added them to your shopping list. Unfortunately, you may reach for the wrong jar, because many pickles at supermarkets aren’t especially good for you.
Scientists have made progress in separating fact from fiction when it comes to health claims about pickles: both the cucumber kind, and other types of pickled vegetables. We asked experts how to find the healthiest kinds of pickles, which benefits are backed by research, and the right amount to eat every day.

Greater sense of life purpose improves brain health
A greater sense of one's purpose in life improves brain health as we age, researchers have reported.
Diffusion-weighted MRI showed positive associations in both white matter and the right hippocampus, the latter of which is an area of the brain that "retains the capacity to grow and adapt through old age," wrote a team led by Ajay Kumar Nair, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The research was published March 4 in Frontiers in Psychiatry.
"Our findings suggest pathways through which an enhanced sense of purpose in life may contribute to better brain health and promote healthy aging," the group wrote.

Craving snacks after a meal? It might be food-seeking neurons, not an overactive appetite
Key takeawaysA new study from UCLA researchers is the first to discover food-seeking cells in a part of a mouse ’s brain usually associated with panic – but not with feeding.Activating a selective cluster of these cells kicked mice into “hot pursuit” of live and non-prey food, and showed a craving for fatty foods intense enough that the mice endured foot shocks to get them, something full mice normally would not do.If true in humans, who also carry these cells, the findings could help address the circuit that can circumvent the normal hunger pressures of “how, what and when to eat.”People who find themselves ru...
