2004-07 was 1.18 (1.06-1.31), showing a non-linear trend with probability of survival increasing by 46.6% during 2011-20. Myocardial ischaemia or infarction as aetiology decreased during 2004-20 from 67.4% to 28.3% [OR 0.30 (0.27-0.34)]. Shockable rhythm decreased from 37.4% to 23.0% [OR 0.57 (0.51-0.64)]. Approximately 90% of survivors (IHCA and OHCA) had no or mild neurological sequelae.

Survival increased 2.2-fold in OHCA during 1990-2020 but without any improvement in the final decade, and 1.2-fold in IHCA during 2004-20, with rapid improvement the last decade. Cardiac aetiology and shockable rhythms were halved. Neurological outcome has not improved.

The common emulsifiers carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate-80 have been reported to cause intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic disturbances. Glycerol monolaurate (GML), another medium-chain monoacylglycerol, is often used as an emulsifier and could improve metabolism by regulating the gut microbiota. However, research on the effects of GMD on the metabolism and gut microbiota remains scarce. Mice were fed a normal chow diet with or without GMD (150, 800, and 1600 mg kg-1) for 22 weeks. Metabolism indicators and related genes, gut microbiota, and fecal SCFAs were analyzed. The results demonstrated that GMD significantly improved insulin sensitivity, reduced the serum LPS level, and decreased pro-inflammation cytokines including IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1). Additionally, 150 and 1600 mg kg-1 GMD could significantly lower the blood glucose content. 1600 mg kg-1 GMD improved cholesterol metabolism and related gene expression compared to 150 and 800 mg kg-1 GMD. Moreover, 150 and 800 mg kg-1 GMD up-regulated the abundance of Lactobacillus and Turicibacter, while 1600 mg kg-1 GMD significantly up-regulated the abundance of Bifidobacterium. Our findings indicated that different doses of GMD had inconsistent effects on lipid metabolism by differentially altering the gut microbiota composition. Meanwhile, all doses of GMD showed excellent effects on increasing insulin sensitivity and improving inflammation.

The risk of periodontal diseases development increased in patients with malocclusion undergoing orthodontic treatment. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of the use of adjunctive rinses with nano-Argentum to standard oral hygiene regimen in subjects wearing fixed orthodontic appliances.

Eighty patients were observed for 1 year. They were divided in two groups in test group patients were instructed to rinse with non-ionic colloidal silver solution according to protocol for 6 months as an adjunct to standard; in control group the patients followed the standard oral hygiene regimen. Index of efficiency of oral hygiene (PHPm), community periodontal index (CPI) and papillary-marginal-alveolar index (PMA) were evaluated before treatment and after 1 and 6 months. For statistics analysis, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis tests and Pearson criterion were used.

Baseline hygiene levels in two groups had no differences. Oral hygiene indices were significantly lower in the test group in comparison with control after 1 month (PHPm=0.38 ± 0.18 and 1.19 ± 0.45, respectively, p < 0.01; PMA=11.78 ± 8.5 and 47.25 ± 20.9, respectively, p < 0.05; CPI=0.65 ± 0.53 and 1.53 ± 0.77, respectively, p < 0.01) and 6 months (PHPm=0.5 ± 0.2 and 1.2 ± 0.4, respectively, p < 0.01; PMA=11.62 ± 19.6 and 66.33 ± 27.9, respectively, p < 0.01; CPI=0.63 ± 0.73 and 1.68 ± 0.78, respectively, p < 0.01).

The use of the test solution as an adjunct to standard oral hygiene provided a significant beneficial effect in terms of oral hygiene in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Mobile phones are familiar to most nurses, but the applications available for voice recording and transfer of audio files in research may not be.

To provide an overview of a pilot study which trialled the use of mobile phones, WhatsApp and phone interviews as a safe and reliable means of collecting data.

A pilot study was designed to test the use of mobile phones as a safe and reliable way to record audio diaries as research data; WhatsApp to transmit the audio files; and phone interviews to explore them. Undertaking the pilot demonstrated that the tools proposed for collecting data were useable and acceptable to the target population and that the researcher's guidance for doing so was satisfactory.

New technologies enable innovation but trialling them for useability is important. Confidentiality and consent need to be carefully managed when using WhatsApp to ensure a study is compliant with data protection regulations.

Collection of research data digitally and remotely has become increasingly mainstream and relied on during the COVID 19 pandemic. The methods discussed in this article provide solutions for timely data collection that are particularly useful when the researcher is geographically distant from participants. The 'in the moment' reflective nature of the audio diaries could also be applicable to non-research settings - for example, as a method of assisting ongoing professional development and/or collection of reflective accounts.

The relationship between resting cardiac indices and exercise capacity in older adults was still not well understood. New developments in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable a much fuller assessment of cardiac characteristics.

To assess the association between exercise capacity and specific aspects of resting cardiac structure, function, and tissue.

Cross-sectional study.

A total of 112 well-functioning older adults (mean age 69 years, 52 men).

All participants underwent 3.0 T MRI, using scan protocols including balanced steady-state free precession cine sequence, modified look-locker inversion recovery, and T2-prepared single-shot balanced steady-state free precession.

Demographic and geriatric characteristics were collected. Blood samples were assayed for lipid and glucose related biomarkers. All participants performed a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test to achieve peakVO

4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 5.

4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 5.The aim of the first study was to determine the influence of the calf handling (restricted or full contact) and fenceline bull stimulation on performance of mothers and their calves. The aim of the second study was to determine the relative impact of calf-bull contact, comparing the result of restricted calf and no bull with that of fenceline calf contact and direct bull contact on the performance of mother buffaloes and their calves. In Experiment 1, 24 mother-calf dyads were allocated to three treatments NCB (no calf-mother-bull contact), RC-FBC (restricted calf and fenceline bull contact) and FC-FBC (fenceline calf and fenceline bull contact). In Experiment 2, another 24 mother-calf dyads were allocated to two treatments RC-NB (restricted calf and no bull contact) and FC-DBC (fenceline calf and direct bull contact). In Experiment 1, average daily gain (ADG) was greater in FC-FBC than RC-FBC and NCB calves (p less then .05). Average dry matter intake (DMI) was greater in FC-FBC than RC-FBC and NCB calves.falo mothers. Further, mother-bull contact stimulated the post-partum reproductive performance of buffaloes in fenceline calf contact.

To investigate the prevalence of halitosis in young adults.

Young adults (n=372; mean age=21.0 ± 2.6 years old, range=18-30 years) in Dunedin, New Zealand, were recruited into the cross sectional study after providing informed consent. The prevalence of halitosis was determined using both objective measurements (parts per billion [ppb] volatile sulphur compounds [VSCs] in the exhaled air) and subjective measurements (self-reported halitosis questionnaire, tongue coating index, and organoleptic assessment).

Volatile sulphur compounds measurements indicated that the prevalence of halitosis (values ≥140 ppb) was 31.2%; 25.6% of participants self-reported halitosis. The organoleptic assessment revealed that 14.3% of the participants had a score of ≥2. A positive correlation was found between the VSC measurements and organoleptic assessment (p < 0.05). No significant relationship was found between self-reported halitosis and either organoleptic assessment or VSC measurements. Self-reported dry mouth, smoking, oral hygiene index, DMFT index, and tongue coating score were significantly associated with the organoleptic assessment (p < 0.05). The self-reported dry mouth, mouth breathing and tongue coating score were significantly associated with the VSC scores (p < 0.05).

Halitosis, as represented by VSC, was found in 31.2% of the participants. VSC scores and organoleptic assessment were positively correlated. There was no significant relationship between self-reported halitosis and either organoleptic assessment or VSC measurements.

Adherence to the daily use of dental floss in childhood is recommended by various international health institutions/organizations. This systematic review (PROSPERO number CRD42020205232) aims to evaluate the prevalence of dental floss use in deciduous dentition.

A systematic review was conducted in six databases (B-on, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scielo, Science Direct and Web of Science) up to December 2020. The CoCoPop mnemonic allowed for obtaining 2333 articles and resulted in the inclusion of 7 observational studies that evaluated the prevalence of dental floss use (primary outcome) in children up to 6 years old. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist was used to evaluate the risk of bias, showing that most articles presented good quality. Meta-analyses were performed using the proportion of dental floss use (yes or once/day) and the random effects model.

The meta-analysis showed a prevalence of dental floss use of only 12.60% (95% CI 7.69%-18.52%) based on studies with high heterogeneity of results (I
