I never wanted to write a Prof thread here since I wanted this to be break.
But some comments regarding Dentistry is pushing me to be writing this, making me do what I have been trying to explain to people for a long time.
#Thread
#Dentistry
1)

Oral health has been the least concern of people in India. A Dentist is only sought after in case of emergency or when a certificate is needed. Making it a 2nd tier speciality.
However it can't be further from the truth.
This is about Dentistry & it's relation to Gen health
2
Heart:
Since someone commented teeth can't stop heart!
Well! It can
Sub acute endocarditis
Species of Streptococci that live on the teeth, gums& related structures, get mobilized into blood stream when the load of infection increases
If a patient has a valve defect or
3
Previous surgery, these bacteria colonize & cause blockage that is slow & fatal.
Also untreated dental infection can cause the failure of any Cardiac procedure performed.
Hence it's advised to get teeth treated before a cardiac surgery.

Brain:
Teeth have lymph drainage
4
Into a Sinus called Cavernous sinus. That's also connected to brain.
Untreated dental infection can lead to abscess in brain, causing epilepsy like seizures & de@th if not treated.
Seen a 6 yr old boy losing life bcoz of it since Doctor could not trace the source of infection
5
Kidney:
E. Coli most common pathogen in kidney failure is a resident of Gum, periodontal abcess.
Usually when bacterial load increases, the mobilization of bacteria in blood targets the most vulnerable organ in body
So for a Diabetic patient it would kidney or bladder,can stop
6
Functioning of organ

Ear:
Ear has a tube connecting it to side of the tooth in upper jaw.
It's called Eustachian tube
If a child is left after feeding, without cleaning the mouth for residual milk or untreated dental infection in that area, causes Ear infection.
At times
7
Partial loss of hearing

I forgot earlier untreated Dental infection increases risk of Diabetes with age, & viceversa

Pregnancy :
Now this aspect is most important.
Hormonal changes in pregnancy also control the health of gums.
So similarly, infection in gums can cause
8
Irregular hormones for pregnancy.
It can lead to low birth weight of the baby or even miscarriage. Difficulty in conception also results with prolonged Infection of gums.

Mother also transfers her anti body to baby through placenta & milk.
Bacterial load between mom & child
9
Are also similar to the level of sane gene coding
Hence mother with more dental problems have children with high caries risk.

Back ache:
Improper filling, crown or bite leads to improper posturing of the next.
That with age gets shifted to lower back.
Many people keep
10
Getting physiotherapy done with no use as its bcoz of the jaw.

Similarly there is something called
Myofunctional pain Dysfunction Syndrome
Or MPDS

It too mimics Migraine
The reason is same, faulty occlusion.

I can go on & on.
But I want this to be shared hence shortening
11
Lastly expertise of ur Dentist:
A faulty RCT or extraction or a broken file in ur tooth can cause any of the problems above, or some more.
It can even be fatal like air embolism caused due to wrong irrigants

Hence plz dont take Oral health lightly.
It's more important
12
In case of children, Pregnant women and Patient with special healthcare needs.
Always consult the specialist with proper Sterilization protocols as Dental operatory can transfer HIV, to Hepatitis to Corona
Plz share with ur friends and family 🙏

Before we get too far into 2021, I thought I’d write a thread recapping some of the research that came out of my lab in 2020. Most of this work was led by my talented team of graduate students, Kerrianne Morrison, @kmdebrabander, and @DesiRJones.

Back in January, a news story was published about Kerrianne’s study showing improved social interaction outcomes for autistic adults when paired with another autistic partner.

A detailed thread about the study and a link to the paper can be found here (feel free to DM me your email address if you’d like a copy of the full paper for this study or any of our studies):


Another paper published early in 2020 (it appeared a few months earlier online) showed that traditional standalone tasks of social cognition are less predictive of functional and social skills among autistic adults than commonly assumed in autism research.


Next, @kmdebrabander led and published an innovative study about how well autistic and non-autistic adults can predict their own cognitive and social cognitive performance.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.
https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!
