Abstract Background Oro‐facial dysfunctions (OFDs; oro‐facial myofunctional disorders) in children and childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) often cause severe problems articulation, chewing, swallowing oral posture. Objectives Pathognomonic symptoms could yet not be identified, but central planning, programming, timing automating oro‐facial, as well other fine motor skills, are assumed to affected...

Observations relating to the impact of obesity on gastric emptying (GE) and the secretion of gut hormones are inconsistent, probably because of a lack of studies in which GE, gastrointestinal hormone release, and energy intake (EI) have been evaluated concurrently with previous patterns of nutrient intake. GE is known to be a major determinant of postprandial glycemia and incretin secretion in ...

During the past two decades, Oropouche (Oro) virus (arbovirus family Bunyaviridae, Simbu serological group) has been recognized as a major cause of human febrile illness in the Amazon region of Brazil. Between 1961 and 1981 numerous outbreaks occurred in urban centers of the Amazon region, mostly in the State of Pará, in the eastern part (Figure 1). At least 250,000 persons were infected, inclu...

Immunohistochemistry for parvalbumin, calbindin D-28k, calretinin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was performed on the trigeminal ganglion and oro-facial tissues in Brn-3a wildtype and knockout mice at embryonic day 18.5 and postnatal day 0. In wildtype mice, the trigeminal ganglion contained abundant parvalbumin-, calbindin D-28k- and CGRP-immunoreactive neurons while the ganglion w...

BACKGROUND Early Childhood Caries (ECC) has become a major public health concern worldwide, mostly affecting children from disadvantaged families in increasingly severe forms. This condition has been frequently reported to alter children's nutrition, growth and general development. It negatively impacts their quality of life, through painful episodes and severe eating difficulties. While this p...

A high percentage of free-ranging pumas (Felis concolor) are infected with feline lentiviruses (puma lentivirus, feline immunodeficiency virus Pco [FIV-Pco], referred to here as PLV) without evidence of disease. PLV establishes productive infection in domestic cats following parenteral exposure but, in contrast to domestic cat FIV, it does not cause T-cell dysregulation. Here we report that cat...
