New research out is looking to bring us closer to understanding how covid-19 can cause brain damage. The study suggests that while the viral infection may not directly reach the brain in most cases... ...It can spark the sort of destructive inflammation that’s seen with other neurological conditions. The research was conducted by U.S. government scientists at the National Institutes of Health. The team studied the brains of 19 people who died after contracting covid-19, says Gizmodo. The researchers found clogged, thinned out, and leaky blood vessels as well as inflammation.
It's not unusual to dream of being a supermodel, strutting down catwalks on the global stage. But did you know there's such a thing as being a "parts" model? With this type of modeling, you show just one body part, such as your teeth, legs, feet, or hands. And according to Business Insider, being a parts model can be extremely lucrative. A good hand model, for example, can earn $4000 in just a one-day shoot. Professional hand models take exceedingly good care of their hands. One hand model says he moisturizes 30 times a day and gets manicures twice a week. He also protects his hands from the sun, from dish detergent, and even from cats!
Wisconsin dentist Scott Charmoli performed more than $2 million worth of crown procedures between January 2018 and August 2019. But according to Newser, the 60-year-old used his drill to break off parts of his patients' teeth so he could justify the dental work. Charmoli was charged Tuesday in federal court with eight counts of health care fraud and two counts of false statements. The indictment says Charmoli submitted images of the chipped teeth to insurance companies to obtain coverage for the crowns. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
Business Insider spoke to two dentists, who debunked about the14 of the most common myths about teeth. The dentists explained the science behind white teeth and what really causes cavities. They also said the idea that electric toothbrushes are better than regular toothbrushes is a myth. In fact, they said, it's more about how you brush your teeth. The dentists mention how aligners, without X-rays and thorough analysis from an orthodontist, could be harmful to your teeth.
Formally known as bruxism, teeth grinding and clenching isn't uncommon. According to HuffPost, some estimates suggest about 10% of Americans regularly grind their teeth, and 20% regularly clench their teeth together. Now, dentists say they’re seeing a lot more of both during the COVID-19 pandemic. A dentist can, by examination, tell you if you're grinding, clenching, or both. Your dentist can also create a custom mouth guard to wear at night. However, it's important to get to the bottom of what's making you so tense or anxious. Seek help from qualified mental health professionals.
