Some evidence that one-to-one dietary interventions in the dental setting can change behaviour

Interventions that change clinician behaviour:

Is a vaccine one of the factors that will contribute to the end of the Pandemic?

The covid-19 pandemic began in China in November 2019 and spread globally by March 2020.[2] In India Vaccine research, trials, and production were ramped up gradually. The Covishield vaccine trial was completed by December 2020 and the mass vaccination program started in January 2021. The mortality was far more in western and European countries (despite better health infrastructure) than in Asi...

Computer-tailored dietary behaviour change interventions: a systematic review

Improving dietary behaviours such as increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and reducing saturated fat intake are important in the promotion of better health. Computer tailoring has shown promise as a strategy to promote such behaviours. A narrative systematic review was conducted to describe the available evidence on 'second'-generation computer-tailored primary prevention interventions fo...

One Setting the Stage

Fraud in science is, in essence, a violation of the scientific method. It is feared and denigrated by all scientists. Let’s look at a few real cases that have come up in the past. Piltdown Man, a human cranium and ape jaw found in a gravel pit in England around 1910, is perhaps the most famous case. Initially hailed as the authentic remnants of one of our more distant ancestors, the interspecie...

Disease Interventions Can Interfere with One Another through Disease-Behaviour Interactions

Theoretical models of disease dynamics on networks can aid our understanding of how infectious diseases spread through a population. Models that incorporate decision-making mechanisms can furthermore capture how behaviour-driven aspects of transmission such as vaccination choices and the use of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) interact with disease dynamics. However, these two interventi...
