Abstract Background Oral diseases are features of COVID-19 infection. There is, however, little known about oral diseases associated with COVID-19 in adolescents and young adults (AYA). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess oral lesions’ association with COVID-19 infection in AYA; and to identify if sex and age will modify these associations. Methodology Data was collected for this cross-sectional study between August 2020 and January 2021 from 11-to-23 years old participants in 43-countries...

Abstract Background Biological age (BA) has been recognized as a more accurate indicator of aging than chronological age (CA). However, the current limitations include: insufficient attention to the incompleteness of medical data for constructing BA; Lack of machine learning-based BA (ML-BA) on the Chinese population; Neglect of the influence of model overfitting degree on the stability of the association results. Methods and results Based on the medical examination data of the Chinese population (45–90 years),...

Compressed sensing (CS) has been successfully demonstrated to reconstruct ultrafast dynamic scenes in ultrafast imaging techniques with large sequence depth. Since compressed ultrafast imaging used a two-step iterative shrinkage/thresholding (TwIST) algorithm in previous image reconstruction, some details of the object will not be recovered when the amount of data compression is large. Here we applied a more efficient Total Variation (TV) minimization scheme based on augmented Lagrangian and alternating direction algorithms (TVAL3) to reconstruct the...

Background: One of the key importance of vegetable consumption is to obtain sufficient micronutrients, dietary fibre, and for the prevention of childhood obesity. Most Malaysian children did not meet the recommended intake of vegetable consumption, and this is especially vulnerable among the urban poor population due to food insecurity. Efforts are needed to promote vegetable consumption that fall short of the recommended intake level. Aim: This trial aims to examine the effectiveness of the “GrowEat”...

Achieving an axial super-resolved focus with a single lens by simply inserting a modulation mask in the pupil plane is preferred due to its compact configuration and general applicability. However, lack of a universal theoretical model to manifest the super-resolved focusing mechanism vastly complicates the mask design and hinders the optimal resolution. Here we establish an interference model and find out the axial resolution closely relates to the Gouy phase gradient (GPG) at the focal...

Abstract Background Traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) is used to treat a broad range of conditions. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), TCAM use is particularly common among those with low socio-economic status. To better understand the patterns and impact of TCAM use on the management of non-communicable diseases in these populations, this study examines the prevalence and characteristics of TCAM use for hypertension, its determinants, and its association with hypertension management outcomes and...
