“…What these mechanisms are, however, still need to be discovered. Nonetheless, the sex-differences in these circadian mechanisms are essential to recognize and decipher as they may contribute to how males and females cope differently with circadian clock-related disorders [52][53][54][55][56] and possibly other fundamental physiological differences existing between males and females.…”

Circadian clocks enable organisms to predict and align their behaviors and physiologies to constant daily day-night environmental cycle. Because the ubiquitin ligase Siah2 has been identified as a potential regulator of circadian clock function in cultured cells, we have used SIAH2-deficient mice to examine its function in vivo. Our experiments demonstrate a striking and unexpected sexually dimorphic effect of SIAH2-deficiency on the regulation of rhythmically expressed genes in the liver. The absence of SIAH2 in females, but not in males, altered the expression of core circadian clock genes and drastically remodeled the rhythmic transcriptome in the liver by increasing the number of day-time expressed genes, and flipping the rhythmic expression from nighttime expressed genes to the daytime. These effects are not readily explained by effects on known sexually dimorphic pathways in females. Moreover, loss of SIAH2 in females, not males, preferentially altered the expression of transcription factors and genes involved in regulating lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Consequently, SIAH2-deficient females, but not males, displayed disrupted daily lipid and lipoprotein patterns, increased adiposity and impaired metabolic homeostasis. Overall, these data suggest that SIAH2 may be a key component of a female-specific circadian transcriptional output circuit that directs the circadian timing of gene expression to regulate physiological rhythms, at least in the liver. In turn, our findings imply that sex-specific transcriptional mechanisms may closely interact with the circadian clock to tailor overt rhythms for sex-specific needs.

“…First and foremost, as previously mentioned, access to these services is costly due to the provision deficiency present in the public healthcare system 1 , which is impactful for the unemployed workforce 36 . For informal sector workers, access to health insurance is less likely, in addition to prolonged work hours and more frequent irregular schedules 16 , which limits time and availability to adhere to oral health care and seek healthcare services 36,37 .…”

Objective: to describe three oral health indicators-the proportions of tooth loss, dental visits, and toothbrushing frequency-according to job market insertion in 2019. Methods: a descriptive study with data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey (PNS). We included individuals aged from 18 years or older, irrespective of employment status. We calculated the oral health indicators, as well as their respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: the sample was composed by 54,343 workers, 29,889 (53.9%) being male. The proportion of 13 or more teeth loss was higher in the informal employment sector [10.5% (95%CI: 9.8;11.2)]. The proportion of people that did not consult a dentist in the previous 12 months was higher in the informal sector [51.9% (95%CI: 50.8;53.0)] and among unemployed [52.4% (95%CI: 49.6;55.2)]. Lower toothbrushing frequency was observed in the informal workers’ group [5.2% (95%CI: 4.7;5.6)] and among male workers [7.5% (95%CI: 6.8;8.2)]. Conclusion: worse oral health indicators were found among informal and unemployed workers, in addition to gender inequalities.

“…This is also consistent with the research work done on patients in tertiary care dental setup in Rawalpindi area (6). There is a relationship between poor dental health and lengthy working hours (8). Lahore is famous for one of the world's most epic street food cities and an easy access to refined sugars.…”

Objectives: To identify the causes of exodontia in adult dentition and its association with Age in Tertiary dental practice. Study design: Descriptive study Place and duration of study: Oral and Maxillofacial surgery department of Azra Naheed Dental College, a tertiary care dental setup in Raiwind, Lahore from Jan 2021 to June 2021. Methodology: Different engines like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Medline as well as other Oral Surgery journals were searched for relevant articles. This Study comprised of 400 patients selected by random sampling. The consent is taken from the patients before collecting their data. Only permanent teeth extracted for different causes are included in the study. Data was analysed using SPSS 24. Results: Among the 400 patient cases evaluated for exodontia, the chief cause for tooth extraction was because of grossly carious tooth 230 (57.50%), followed by Periodontal reasons 71 (17.75%). This study included patients whose age group range is from 11-69 years, with 62% males and 38% females. A notable difference was observed between cause of tooth extraction and different age groups. Conclusion: Emphasis on dental education can prevent the tooth loss. Common oral diseases such as dental caries at their various stages of progression and periodontal diseases should be highlighted by the oral health promotion campaigns. In addition, consistent dental check-ups at schools, colleges and workplaces should be made compulsory. In addition, the community field trips should be organized. By doing so an increase in oral health awareness may also intimidate patient’s perspective waiting until acute symptoms develop. As a follow-up to this study, it is recommended that a more representative sample of the general population be evaluated. Keywords: Exodontia, Non-Restorable, Caries
