We propose a fully automated novel workflow for lipidomics based on flow injection, followed by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (FI/LC-HRMS). The workflow combined in-depth characterization of the lipidome achieved via reversed-phase LC-HRMS with absolute quantification by using a large number of lipid species-specific and/or retention time (RT)-matched/class-specific calibrants. The lipidome of 13C-labelled yeast (LILY) provided a large panel of cost-effective internal standards (ISTDs) covering triacylglycerols (TG), steryl esters (SE), free fatty acids (FA), diacylglycerols (DG), sterols (ST), ceramides (Cer), hexosyl ceramides (HexCer), phosphatidylglycerols (PG), phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), phosphatidic acids (PA), cardiolipins (CL), phosphatidylinositols (PI), phosphatidylserines (PS), phosphatidylcholines (PC), lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) and lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPE). The workflow in combination with the LILY lipid panel enables simultaneous quantification via terated or non-endogenous ISTDs, thus offering cross-validation of different lipid methods and further standardizing lipidomics.Control of stereoregularity is inherent to precision polymerization chemistry for the development of functional materials. A prototypal example of this strategy is the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic lactide (rac-LA), a bio-sourced monomer. Despite significant advances in organocatalysis, stereoselective ROP of rac-LA employing chiral organocatalysts remains unexplored. Here we tackle that challenge by resorting to Takemoto's catalyst, a chiral aminothiourea, in the presence of a phosphazene base. This chiral binary organocatalytic system allows for fast, chemo- and stereoselective ROP of rac-LA at room temperature, yielding highly isotactic, semi-crystalline and metal-free polylactide, with a melting temperature as high as 187 °C.Needle phobia is an important reason to postpone a dental appointment.Needleless anaesthesia exists, but is it as effective as the conventionalmethods of dental anaesthesia? A literature review showed conclusionsto differ regarding the use of so-called jet injectors, which force a smallquantity of anaesthetic liquid through the mucosa under high pressure.According to some researchers, this technique works sufficiently wellin the deciduous dentition; this has, however, not been confirmed inall studies, nor is effectiveness guaranteed. selleck products Topical anaesthesia andanaesthesia for the maxillary teeth delivered via a nasal spray are gainingground but without a guarantee of effectiveness. It is thus difficult to takean unequivocal position on needleless anaesthetics at the moment dueto the lack of high-quality and sufficiently extensive studies available.More research is clearly required on these interesting and patient-friendlymethods of providing dental local anaesthesia.As a result of an increase in the incidence of oral cancer and improving survival rates, the number of patients needing follow-up care will increase in the Netherlands. At present, these patients enroll in a 5-year follow-up programme aiming for early detection of recurrences or second primary tumors and improving their prognosis of life expectancy, among other things. Recurrences mostly occur in the first 2 years after treatment, whereas patients have a lifelong elevated risk of second primary tumors. 75% of second primary tumors occur outside the oral cavity and over 50% outside the head and neck area, places not routinely checked. There is no convincing evidence this 5-year follow-up programme yields survival benefits. It would therefore be better to limit follow-up care to 2 years and choose a subsequent follow-up programme better tailored to the individual patient's needs. This does not necessarily require the lead of a head and neck oncologist.Eruption of mandibular second molars usually occurs around the age of 12. Incomplete eruption of second molars in such young patients can lead to loss of the molars, due to caries, root resorption or periodontal pathology. When a pathology of this kind develops, the treatment option for a mesially impacted molar is often to extract the tooth. If tooth eruption is, however, monitored closely by the dentist and/or orthodontist, early treatment can be considered in order to preserve the tooth. Partially impacted second molars can be placed in a functional anatomical position by surgical uprighting and repositioning. As long as certain conditions are met, this results in sound functionality with preservation of the full dentition. In cases of incomplete eruption, this treatment option should therefore be considered by dentists and orthodontists before extracting the second molars.In order to assess the oral health and oral health behaviour of asylum seekers in the Netherlands, 542 asylum seekers completed questionnaires. There were questionnaires for the groups children (1-11 years), youths (12-17 years) and adults (18+ years). 4 Categories of questions were asked 'demographic characteristics', 'complaints and symptoms', 'lifestyle and knowledge' and 'visiting the dentist'. Regression analyses were performed to see which demographic factors influenced oral health. Of the respondents, 42% of the children, 57% of the youths and 86% of the adults reported at least one oral complaint or symptom. Of them 42% of the children, 59% of the youths and 53% of the adults followed the basic recommendation to brush their teeth twice a day. Of those questioned, 45% of the children, 48% of the youths and 28% of the adults went to a dentist for check-ups. When these results are compared to the rest of the Dutch population, asylum seekers scored worse in all categories.ADHD is common in children as well as in adults. Dental problems are more common in these individuals as they can often be forgetful and impulsive. They are less careful with their teeth and are more at risk of damage. Medication can also have side effects such as a dry mouth which is not conducive to the teeth. A number of advice are given for easier and better dental care. Timing and dosage of medication is of great importance here. Dentists can have ADHD as well, which can be a handicap in their practice.
