Finding Power in My Panic Attacks
Trouble started in the form of rivulets of sweat dampening the waistband of my underwear. It was a bluebird afternoon in Phoenix in December of 2020, mid 60s, desert dry, and my heart was jackhammering against my ribcage. Breathing felt like I was sucking air through a stir straw. A small ABC News crew was arrayed before me, ready to broadcast the report I’d written that day, but with my vision narrowed to a needle’s eye, I could barely see them. I tried to swallow away the sandiness in my mouth but realized I’d forgotten how. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “I can’t swallow!...

Integrative oral medicine: Dentistry's role in improving health outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: A thorough dental examination, including a comprehensive periodontal evaluation, can provide important information that can be used to improve or maintain a patient's systemic health. Treatments provided to improve oral health have been shown to improve systemic indicators of cardiovascular health. This is the basis of integrative oral medicine, a collaboration between the medical and dental providers, which can offer patients the best opportunity for improved health outcomes.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Periodontal disease, caries, periapical infections, and sleep apnea all have negative systemic health consequence...

Dental Caries a Risk Factor for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
CONCLUSION: Dental caries is a potential risk for incident ICH after caries detection. Future studies are needed to determine if treatment of dental caries can reduce the risk of ICH.PMID:37231788 | DOI:10.1159/000530568

Association of Dental Infections with Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis
CONCLUSION: We report significant associations between mild-moderate tooth loss, severe tooth loss and severe PD with <50% ICAS as well as an association between gingivitis and ≥50% ICAS. We did not find an association between dental caries and ICAS.PMID:37121226 | DOI:10.1159/000530829

Risk Assessment of Cnm-Positive Streptococcus mutans in Stroke Survivors (RAMESSES): Protocol for a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study
DiscussionThe 2-year longitudinal prospective cohort study is expected to establish the role of Cnm-positive S. mutans in SVD including CMBs and intracerebral hemorrhage from the perspective of the “brain-oral axis” and provide guidance for novel prophylactic strategies against Cnm-positive S. mutans-induced SVD.

Association between oral health and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hypertension: a nationwide cohort study
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that multiple dental caries were related to the risk of cardiovascular diseases in hypertensive patients. Better oral hygiene may attenuate the risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients.

Genes, Vol. 13, Pages 13: Causal Association between Periodontal Diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases
ua Liao Observational studies have revealed that dental diseases such as periodontitis and dental caries increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the causality between periodontal disease (PD) and CVDs is still not clarified. In the present study, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) studies were carried out to assess the association between genetic liability for periodontal diseases (dental caries and periodontitis) and major CVDs, including coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF), and stroke&amp;mdash;including ischemic stroke as well as its three main s...

Oral health in patients with stroke: a meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Conclusions: Stroke patients had poorer overall oral health status compared to controls. Given the importance of oral health to overall health, further research on screening for oral health problems after stroke should be conducted and effective management strategies should be devised and implemented.

SwitchPoint 2019: Day 1
By Margarite Nathe, Principal Editor/Writer, IntraHealth InternationalApril 25, 2019It takes tenacity to work in global health and development. These folks have it.I ’m going to go out on a limb and guess that if you work in global health or international development, you might know what frustration feels like.Maybe the project funding cycle gets you down. Maybe you ’ve struggled with a public policy that hurts more people than it helps. It could be that you’ve grappled with shoddy data sets, or corrupt officials, or the fickle winds of politics that so often blow our efforts off course.You need tenacity to do th...

A potential new risk factor for stroke: Streptococcus mutans with collagen-binding protein
Among human oral bacteria, particular kinds of Streptococcus mutans (SM) known as dental caries pathogen have a collagen-binding protein called Cnm and show platelet aggregation inhibition and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activation. We have previously reported that these strains may be a risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage. As a major sample providing hospital, we report here the clinical details including intracranial aneurysms and ischemic stroke.

Investigating the candidacy of the serotype specific rhamnan polysaccharide based glycoconjugates to prevent disease caused by the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans
AbstractDental caries remains a major health issue and the Gram-positive bacteriumStreptococcus mutans is considered as the major pathogen causing caries. More recently,S. mutans has been recognised as a cause of endocarditis, ulcerative colitis and fatty acid liver disease along with the likelihood of increased cerebral hemorrhage following a stroke ifS. mutans is present systemically. We initiated this study to examine the vaccine candidacy of the serotype specific polysaccharides elaborated byS. mutans. We have confirmed the carbohydrate structures for the serotype specific rhamnan containing polysaccharides from seroty...
