OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of dental caries and the level of sugar consumption among 6-12-y-old schoolchildren in La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines.
METHODS
A Cross-sectional study as a baseline survey for a later intervention program. A questionnaire was distributed to obtain information
The use of models simulating fissures allows studying demineralization at sites that are most prone to caries in vivo. In practice, most in situ models use flat surfaces. Our objectives were: (1) to compare the demineralizing potential of sucrose solution with that of bananas and (2) to study the

BACKGROUND
Microscopic unsegmented worm; migratory
Accumulation of oxalate leads to hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in man. Since oxalate is a metabolic end product in mammals, the feasibility of its enzymic degradation has been tested in vivo in rats by administering exogenous oxalate oxidase. Oxalate oxidase, isolated from banana
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer, and two-fifths of cases could be avoided by changing lifestyle and eating habits.This multicenter case-control study was conducted under the International Consortium on Head and Neck Cancer and Disease spread of Pseudocercospora fijiensis, causal agent of the black Sigatoka disease of banana, depends on ascospores produced through the sexual reproductive cycle. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify P. fijiensis homologs (PKS8-4 and Hybrid8-3) to the PKS4 polyketide synthases (PKS) from
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and to compare the cariogenic potential of different commonly consumed favored milk on caries development in rat's molar teeth.
Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats infected with an active growing culture of Streptococcus mutans were offered chocolate favored milk,
Previous neuroimaging studies of the cortical representation of gustatory and olfactory stimuli have often delivered tastants to the mouth in very small quantities or stimulated olfaction orthonasally. In studies of retro-nasal olfaction, swallowing was generally delayed to reduce head motion
Probiotics are widely used in the food industry and may affect the oral microbiota. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of petit-suisse plus probiotic on the microbiota of children's saliva. Strawberry flavor petit-suisse cheese plus green banana flour without Lactobacillus casei (control) and
Dibromochloropropane (DBCP), a brominated organochlorine nematocide, has been used since the mid-1950s. Its primary value was its effectiveness on perennial crops without damaging the plants. DBCP also had less acute toxicity than earlier soil fumigants such as ethylene dibromide. DBCP became widely
This study was carried out on seven flocks of ewes suffered from late abortion and neonatal mortality with the prevalence rate of infection reported as 13.95%. The blood and tissue samples were collected from the aborted ewes in several flocks of Duhok province, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Serological
By converting cholesterol to 24S-hydroxycholesterol, cytochrome P450 46A1 (CYP46A1) initiates the major pathway for cholesterol removal from the brain. Two crystal structures of CYP46A1 were determined. First is the 1.9-A structure of CYP46A1 complexed with a high-affinity substrate cholesterol
