    Abstract La incorporación de los dispositivos de anclaje temporal (TAD) por sus siglas en inglés, en el tratamiento ortodóntico han revolucionado la mecánica de cierre de espacios por deslizamiento y/o fricción, ya que mejora por completo el anclaje y el control dentario tridimensional, además los TAD se han convertido en un dispositivo de anclaje absoluto-temporal muy utilizado debido a diversas ventajas tales como su bajo costo, la facilidad de colocación y extracción del mismo, posible carga inmediata, reducción de tiempo en el tratamiento y posible colocación en la mayoría de las áreas del hueso alveolar; sin embargo, se definen diversas mecánicas que buscan explicar el movimiento dentario llegando a veces a la contradicción de conceptos. Se seleccionó literatura mediante una búsqueda en las bases de datos electrónicas: Pubmed, Lilacs, Google Academic, Elsevier y Proquest. La búsqueda de la información se realizó desde enero del año 2013 a enero del año 2023 incluyendo todos los idiomas. Luego de la evaluación de los árbolos de búsqueda se consideraron 521 artículos, posteriormente se aplicaron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, obteniendose 14 artículos que cumplen con los parámetros para la realización de esta revisión. La literatura disponible reveló que el uso de TAD y una adecuada e inteligente selección en la mecánica de cierre de espacios, acortaría 6 meses aproximadamente en el tiempo de tratamiento de ortodoncia para el manejo de cualquier maloclusión. Palabras clave: Cierre de espacio, ortodoncia, mini-implantes, DKL. ABSTRACT The incorporation of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in orthodontic treatment has revolutionized the mechanics of space closure by sliding and/or friction, since it completely improves anchorage and three-dimensional dental control. TADs have also become a widely used absolute-temporary anchorage device due to several advantages such as their low cost, ease of placement and removal, possible immediate loading, reduction of treatment time and possible placement in most areas of ...

    Abstract This study examined how different living/eating arrangements were associated with loneliness and depressive symptoms among older Korean immigrants. We examined gender differences considering: (1) patterns of living/eating arrangements and their relations with loneliness and mental distress and (2) indirect effect of living/eating arrangements on mental distress through feeling lonely. Data were drawn from the Study of Older Korean Americans that surveyed older; Korean immigrants during 2017-2018 (

    Abstract Given the importance of healthy eating in the later years of life, the present study examined factors associated with dietary risks in older Korean Americans. We hypothesized that dietary risks would be associated with sociodemographic disadvantages, adverse health conditions, and limited sociocultural resources. Dietary risks were assessed with a scale covering five behavioral and situational risk factors (eating alone, skipping meals, functional challenges, oral health problems, and financial difficulties).

    Abstract Objectives: We identified types of family relationships of older Korean Americans and examined how the mental health benefit of friend networks might be conditioned by family type.
    Methods: Data were from 2,070 participants in the Study of Older Korean Americans, a multistate survey of Korean immigrants aged 60 and older (Mage = 73.3, standard deviation [SD] = 8.01). To identify family types, latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed with marital status, living arrangement, family network, positive and negative interactions with family members, and family mistreatment. Linear regression models examined how mental distress was associated with friend networks and family types, as well as their interactions.
    Results: LPA identified 5 family types: close-knit, intimate but distant, detached, connected but dysfunctional, and dysfunctional. Greater distress was associated with smaller friend networks and belonging to the detached, connected but dysfunctional, and dysfunctional family types in comparison to the close-knit type. The interaction model showed that people in the connected but dysfunctional and dysfunctional groups had a stronger association between friend networks and mental distress than the counterparts in the close-knit group.
    Discussion: We not only confirmed the health-promoting role of friend networks and the value of a close-knit family but also found that the benefit of friend networks was pronounced when quality of the family relationship was impaired. Our findings called renewed attention to older immigrants' social convoys of family and friends, suggesting that the enhancement of friend networks could be particularly advantageous for older immigrants with dysfunctional family relationships.

    Abstract Social isolation has been associated with poor mental health outcomes, particularly for older immigrants who do not have a protective social environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of social isolation (living alone, marginal family ties and marginal friend ties) with mental distress and to examine the moderating role of social cohesion (family cohesion and community cohesion). We hypothesised that social isolation and social cohesion would be directly associated with mental distress and that social cohesion would buffer the influence of social isolation on mental distress. Data were drawn from the Study of Older Korean Americans (SOKA), which included 2150 older Korean Americans aged 60 or over in multiple areas, collected during 2017-2018. A series of hierarchical regression models of mental distress examined the direct and interactive role of social isolation and social cohesion. Approximately one-third of the sample lived alone, 20% had marginal family ties and 27% had marginal friend ties. All three indicators of social isolation had a significant direct effect on mental health; however, living alone lost its statistical significance with the inclusion of social cohesion variables. Both indicators of family and community cohesion were significantly associated with lower levels of mental distress. In addition, family cohesion buffered the negative effects of marginal ties to family and friends on mental distress. The significant role of a positive social environment must be considered when addressing the needs of older immigrants who are socially isolated.

    Abstract Coherently coupled pseudoisocyanine (PIC) dye aggregates have demonstrated the ability to delocalize electronic excitations and ultimately migrate excitons with much higher efficiency than similar designs where excitations are isolated to individual chromophores. Here, we report initial evidence of a new type of PIC aggregate, formed through heterogeneous nucleation on DNA oligonucleotides, displaying photophysical properties that differ significantly from previously reported aggregates. This new aggregate, which we call the super aggregate (SA) due to the need for elevated dye excess to form it, is clearly differentiated from previously reported aggregates by spectroscopic and biophysical characterization. In emission spectra, the SA exhibits peak narrowing and, in some cases, significant quantum yield variation, indicative of stronger coupling in cyanine dyes. The SA was further characterized with circular dichroism and atomic force microscopy observing unique features depending on the DNA substrate. Then by integrating an AlexaFluor

    Abstract Objectives: To measure the 'best possible health for all', incorporating sustainability, and to establish the magnitude of global health inequity.
    Study design: Observational, retrospective.
    Methods: We identified countries with three criteria: (1) a healthy population-life expectancy above world average; (2) living conditions feasible to replicate worldwide-per-capita gross domestic product (GDP-pc) below the world average; and (3) sustainability-per-capita carbon dioxide emissions lower than the planetary pollution boundary. Using these healthy, feasible, and sustainable (HFS) countries as the gold standard, we estimated the burden of global health inequity (BGHiE) in terms of excess deaths, analyzing time-trends (1950-2012) by age, sex, and geographic location. Finally, we defined a global income 'equity zone' and quantified the economic gap needed to achieve global sustainable health equity.
    Results: A total of 14 countries worldwide met the HFS criteria. Since 1970, there has been a BGHiE of ∼17 million avoidable deaths per year (∼40% of all deaths), with 36 life-years-lost per excess death. Young children and women bore a higher BGHiE, and, in recent years, the highest proportion of avoidable deaths occurred in Africa, India, and the Russian Federation. By 2012, the most efficient HFS countries had a GDP-pc/year of USD$2,165, which we proposed as the lower equity zone threshold. The estimated USD$2.58 trillion economic gap represents 3.6% of the world's GDP-twenty times larger than current total global foreign aid.
    Conclusions: Sustainable health equity metrics provide a benchmark tool to guide efforts toward transforming overall living conditions, as a means to achieve the 'best possible health for all.'
