Article Abstract
Literature suggests an association between alexithymia and insecure adult attachment, but the mediation factors involved in this relationship are under-investigated. The study was carried out to test the possible mediation roles of the fear of intimacy and negative mood regulation expectancies in explaining this relationship. A convenience sample of 258 Polish adults (mean age: 30; 45% male), completed self-reporting measures related to adult attachment (RAAS), alexithymia (TAS-20), fear of intimacy (FIS) and negative mood regulation expectancies (NMRE). The results showed that alexithymia directly and indirectly predicts insecure adult attachment. Alexithymia positively predicts the fear of intimacy, which, in turn, positively predicts insecure adult attachment. Finally, alexithymia negatively predicts NMRE which, in turn, predict insecure adult attachment. It emerges from our data that the fear of intimacy and NMRE may be mediating factors in the relationship between alexithymia and adult attachment. Limitations, future directions of research and guidance for intervention are discussed.

This study assessed the impact of the information-knowledge-attitude-practice (IKAP) care model on health promotion among elderly patients diagnosed with periodontitis. Using a retrospective case-control design, 131 patients aged 60 years or older, treated between June 2022 and June 2024, were categorized into 2 groups: the IKAP care group (n = 68) and the conventional care group (n = 63). Clinical outcomes, behavioral modifications, and quality of life were evaluated through periodontal examinations, health knowledge questionnaires, and standardized assessments.

Background: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues, shows significant associations with systemic conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. These metabolic disorders share chronic inflammatory pathways that may influence periodontal disease severity. This study investigated these relationships using advanced quantifiable metrics - periodontal epithelial surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflammatory surface area (PISA).

Background: An increasing amount of data has been acquired on the close relationship between Vitamin K intake and the progression of periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to estimate whether Vitamin K intake is associated with periodontitis among older adults in America using information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of data on periodontal indices and vitamin K intake among American adults aged 60 years and older in the 2009-2014 NHANES database was extracted.

Background: Rates of loneliness have risen sharply since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to disruptions in social relationships and daily routines, with college students experiencing some of the greatest increases. While prevention programs targeting loneliness have been developed, their success has been limited. One promising approach may lie in enhancing the quality of existing relationships rather than simply increasing social interactions during periods of acute loneliness.

Objectives: Due to ozonated water's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it may be used as a supplementary treatment to scaling and root planing (SRP). The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of using ozonated water instead of tap water during the SRP for people with chronic generalized periodontitis.
Material And Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients with generalized periodontitis Stages I and II, randomly allocated to two groups.
