Community, Referrers, Schools, Wellbeing
75 local head teachers wrote to parents about a funding crisis in schools this week, warning of the impact on students. There's a summary and a response from the Dept for Education in the Bath Chronicle. What does this mean for the young people we support? Mentoring Plus Schools Services Lead Practitioner Kev Long commented: "We know beyond doubt from our work that the level of need in schools supporting students' pastoral, additional and wellbeing needs is growing, and the level of resources available is too low. That means our more vulnerable learners suffer the most. "Mentoring Plus is working...

They have plenty to contribute to adult training and practice development given the opportunity. Professionals ensuring girls' voices are heard is critical to supporting them.

View basket "The Goblin Child" has been added to your basket.
A country where everything you do has to be approved by the State; a State that tells you what to eat, when to shower; when to make love, what to think.
As the waters start to rise in the city, the fish people begin to arrive. Ultimately compliant, obedient without question, they open and close their mouths incessantly, saying nothing.
When Greg dares to think for himself, the Departmental Republic seeks to draw him into their elite to keep him quiet, to force his compliance. But if he agrees to be elevated to the level of the shadowy 'Gods,' it's going to cost him his home and the life of his family.
People are saying this ground-breaking novella reads like a follow-on to 1984.
You yourself live in a regulated ,bureaucratically-controlled state. Can you afford not to read it?
Greg was quite alone in the Plaza. At the sound of the Für Elise melody, he stopped instantly, conditioned by his childhood experience. Then, he put down his case and stood quite still. The low guttural rumble of a heavy vehicle's fossil-fuelled engine told of its slow, ponderous approach towards him across the Plaza, the music growing louder. Afraid to turn, he stood dead still. No Departmental instruction covered such a situation, because this did not happen to Co-Workers. In the fading twilight, a pool of bright light from the vehicle's spotlight bar flowed forward like some viscous liquid around his feet. Greg watched his own shadow split the growing pool of light on the ground in front of him as it crept forward on the slow approach of the large vehicle.
The machine stopped. Greg could feel the vibration of its idling engine through the ground no more than a couple of metres behind him. He could smell its noxious, antiquated exhaust fumes. A loudspeaker crackled.
The voice was dark and metallic, the antithesis of human. Greg Complied, his feet motionless, his body shaking.
Greg's teeth began to chatter. With shaking hands, he unzipped his jacket and began to remove it, followed by his shirt.
Greg unfastened his belt, allowing his trousers to fall to his feet. He began to lift his right foot in order to step out of them when the voice interjected sharply. "You have not been instructed to reposition. Do not reposition unless instructed. A moment's silence followed then, "Remove all clothing," said the voice.
As Greg's hands slid his underpants down his legs, he discovered he had wet himself. Finally, he stood naked. "Raise your arms to 450 below horizontal," instructed the voice. "Spread you fingers apart, palms facing behind you." Greg Complied instantly as the sun began to drop behind the Transport Link Terminal.
"Reposition and turn," said the voice.
Greg stepped from the bunched trousers at his feet and turned round.
He was confronted with the sight of a matt black angular vehicle, the size of a small refuse cleanser. But this was no sanitation vehicle. Its front windows slits were protected with a mesh screen, its wheels covered with protectors. A long barrelled-gun protruded prominently at the top and was pointing directly at him.
"Lower your head," instructed the voice. He Complied instantly. A laser scanned him slowly from foot to head, pausing for several seconds at the embedded barcode on his forehead.
Greg nodded, his voice failing him.
"Is this you?" the voice demanded louder.
"Yes, yes, it's me, Greg Workman, 4978- 88-915689734" he yelled back in genuine terror.
"You are not registered as a permitted presence in this public place at this prohibited time. Why are you here? Are you a terrorist? Are you a vagrant? On your knees, now." The last word was shouted, almost spat out.
Greg dropped where he stood, the belt buckle from his trousers penetrating his right knee. He did not notice the pain. He did not notice that he had involuntarily defecated.
I started reading this book and felt compelled to finish it the same day.
The metaphor of The Emperor's New Clothes meets the satirical bureaucracy of Yes Minister to culminate in a frighteningly ludicrous vision beyond George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four.
Anyone who has had, or has to deal with hoop jumping and box ticking in order to feel appreciated will understand the madness created within Michael's Oceanic Union.
Thank god for free-thinkers and mismatchers – may there be many more. ..oh…I forgot to say….I really enjoyed it! Something different and thought provoking….I would recommend!
An emergent type of literature but not quite. Divergent, I should say. Dystopian writing has been here a while, from George Orwell's 1984, way before The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I think too that A Home for Other gods is an Intertext of 1984 by Orwell.
It is futuristic, a total reverse of Utopia by Sir Thomas Moore. AHFOgs is not real, it is hypothetical but the truths presented are bound to happen, very true to life. It touches on the individual and the society in general. The truths of which are worth pondering upon especially in terms of their implication to the individual, the society, the government, as well as to politics, religion, and technology.
It reminds me very much of the Martial Law days we had in the Philippines under the hands of the Marcos dictatorship. On the one hand, I was taken by the protagonist, Greg and his devotion and love for his family.
Another feather on the cap of Michael Forester for his versatility as a writer!
A must read most specially for the young ones and the young once alike.

Technicolor Dream: John Ford's Drums Along The Mohawk
Sep 25, 2013 The Retro Set Movies, Reviews 0
As remarkable as 1939 is in the history of film, there is only one director who accomplished a hat trick that year. Iconic Western director John Ford crafted three films in that 12 month period which accomplished feats that any other director would take a lifetime to achieve. He re-invented–and defined– a genre with Stagecoach, his poignant character study disguised as a Western. He infused life, heart and humor into history with his poetic biopic Young Mr. Lincoln. And he released his most financially successful film of the year, the Technicolor war epic Drums Along the Mohawk starring Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert, which is perhaps the best film ever made about that war.
Yet while Stagecoach and Young Mr. Lincoln have endured as much-beloved masterpieces, Drums remains bafflingly little known. But in a new Blu-ray release from Twilight Time, the film gets the loving attention that it so richly deserves. Ford's painterly palette is so striking, so richly textured, one could dedicate an entire post to it alone. This is a decadent Technicolor feast that, with this new Blu-ray transfer, truly rivals Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz for their crowns as Technicolor's crowning achievements.
If you balk at that it's because you haven't seen this film. Ford's exquisite compositions are served by Ray Rennahan's cinematography–every scene could be a Turner landscape. The only reason Rennahan didn't win his Academy Award nomination for Drums is because he won instead for his Gone with the Wind nod. By 1939, and in its immediate following years, few directors held such an inherent pictorial mastery of the artform as Ford: His command of color was inevitable as made evident in this, his first color picture. I'm just gonna say it: Drums Along the Mohawk is what makes the exquisite beauty of Ford's The Searchers possible.
But this is a John Ford film, so the startling color isn't the only reason to watch, it's merely the icing on the cake.
This endearing historical drama is the story of two newlywed homesteaders in the Mohawk Valley. Colbert plays the exceptionally beautiful daughter of an aristocratic Albany family who marries the unnecessarily handsome Fonda, a simple frontiersman. They are New York colonials at the threshold of war with England, and their simple livelihood of ploughing and cultivating the land is thwarted by skirmishes–and then battles–instigated by the loyalist Tories (led by John Carradine) who have recruited a tribe of Native Americans to do their fighting.
On this always sensitive issue of Native American portrayal on film, it is interesting to note that Ford cast real Native Americans, eliminating the embarrassing brownface that would come to proliferate mid-Century American Westerns. (Of which Ford himself is guilty.) The stereotypes are of course still obvious, the "good Indian" being a converted Christian, but at the very least, Ford's casting is to his credit.
Fonda and Colbert's home is burned and they hire themselves out to work for a wealthy landlady (Edna May Oliver in a rollicking, Oscar nominated performance), whose good-natured sarcastic wit helps give them a renewed sense of security. The security doesn't last long, as Fonda and Colbert, along with their close knit rural community, are thrown into the Revolution. The men march off to join Washington's Continental Army while the women, literally, hold the fort. The strongest men in the film, in fact, are women. Edna May Oliver is the glue of the community, not a man. And Colbert transforms from frightened and homesick to a hardworking frontierswoman who, by the end of the film, is stronger than her husband. The war becomes real when the dead and wounded come trudging back home in a dramatic, torrential downpour. Fonda and the other survivors (including a delightful Ward Bond) again find themselves under attack and they community seeks shelter at a nearby fort. When the supplies and ammunition runs low, it becomes clear someone must make a break to the neighboring fort for reinforcements. To save the community, Fonda volunteers. He makes a break for it, and is chased by the attacking Indians in a magnificent foot race across the majestic New England countryside. It is the film's touchstone moment: the image of Fonda's silhouette against sweeping skies of deep reds and purples and yellows, with a band of Native Americans in hot pursuit, remains one of the most impressive in Ford's career.
Which is really saying something.
Drums lacks a smooth linear structure and critics are all too happy to point out that it feels more like a disjointed series of strung-together set pieces than a solid story. But the film is about the Revolutionary War which was fought in much the same fashion–what Twilight Time's Julie Kigro calls "a war of vignettes," noting that the war's episodic nature is probably reason there has yet to be a definitive feature film of the war. The best attempts are indeed TV movies: John Adams and April Morning. Both are epsidoc, as is Drums, as was the Revolution. Aside from that, the film is most definitely John Ford: it is a film about the survival of community and way of life. A theme that would be more fully explored in his next film, The Grapes of Wrath.
Also notable is the fact that three of the four films helmed by Ford in 1939 star Henry Fonda. (Wrath was released in 1940, but production began hot on the heels of Drums.) The man is an ideal Ford actor. He reacts to adversity with restraint and dignity, but his fight is no less bitter than Ford's most famous actor, John Wayne. Like Montgomery Clift a decade later, Fonda says more by what is unsaid and unseen. We don't see him fight in the Battle of Bloody Creek in Drums. Ford had intended to shoot the battle, but realized he didn't have to. Instead, in an inspired piece of direction, Ford had a wounded Fonda lie against a wall as Colbert nurses him. Fonda is in shock, delirious, and rambling, unaware that his wife even tending to him. Fonda tells us the story of the battle, his piercing blue eyes staring off into the distance (foreshadowing his legendary performance as Tom Joad in Wrath). By not showing us the blood and guts of one of the worst battles of the Revolution, but rather the psychological trauma of it, Ford says more about war in a two minute scene than others take an entire movie to accomplish.
The Twilight Time release also includes the full-length documentary Becoming John Ford by Nick Redman, which provides an in-depth examination of Ford's work at Fox and his relationship with power producer Darryl F. Zanuck.
An excellent presentation of an underrated gem, Drums Along the Mohawk belongs on the shelves of cinephiles everywhere.

The tongue and groove ceilings provide warmth to a room dimension and lacking traditional roofs. Install a tongue and groove ceiling does not take space ceiling height mode makes a false traditional roof, making it a popular choice for many. Remove all existing current ceiling fixings. Measure the length and width of the space.
Bring the action when purchasing the tongue and groove ceiling. Locate the joists using a stud finder. Use a hammer and nail to locate the center of the beams. Put a chalk line along the beam, marking the center.
Continue this process until all beams are checked.
Place the first board on the roof with the male part against the wall perpendicular to the floor joists. Install the second board by sliding the male part of the second board in the female part of the first, making sure the two sections are tight. Continue this process until the final board has been installed. Spikes last board to the beams just as the first.

Come on, who doesn't like instant noodles every now and then. You know what I'm talking about; whether its Mi Goreng, ramen or just the classic chicken flavoured cup noodles. Of course theres no harm in consuming this delicious no fuss meal/ midnight snack occasionally, it might cause some issues if it becomes a daily habit. So heres the healthy version and just as tasty, as well as being customisable which is always a bonus.
layer all the flavouring ingredients at the bottom of the bowl or in a jar as a convenient to-go lunch.
then layer in the bean sprouts, rice noodles, mushrooms and beef. I like to keep the dried ingredients towards the top especially if you're travelling it stops the wet ingredients from leaking out of the lid.
And that's it! it's so simple but so satisfying. Hope you enjoy this recipe and find a way to make it your own.

CRAIG GOLDY Fires Back At VIVIAN CAMPBELL: I Wish He'd Just Say 'I'm Sorry'
Former DIO and current DIO DISCIPLES guitarist Craig Goldy has fired back at Vivian Campbell for saying that DIO DISCIPLES have "zero credibility" as a Ronnie James Dio tribute project despite the fact that the band is fully supported by Ronnie's widow/manager, Wendy.
The current DEF LEPPARD guitarist, along with drummer Vinny Appice and bassist Jimmy Bain, was part of the original DIO lineup, which reunited in 2012 alongside singer Andrew Freeman to form LAST IN LINE.
When LAST IN LINE formed, the intent was to celebrate Ronnie James Dio's early work by reuniting the members of the original DIO lineup. After playing shows that featured a setlist composed exclusively of material from the first three DIO albums, the band decided to move forward and create new music in a similar vein.
Asked in a recent interview with BigMusicGeek.com what separates LAST IN LINE from DIO DISCIPLES — which is made up of former members of DIO, along with a rotating lineup of singers, including former JUDAS PRIEST frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens — Vivian said: "I don't think we're even in the same league as the DIO DISCIPLES. None of those guys were original members of the band DIO. We're the original band. We're the guys who formed the band with Ronnie. Not only were in the band, but we wrote all the songs with Ronnie. If you look at the writing credits on the first three records, it was very, very much a collaborative creative venture. That's what made the early DIO records so strong. The guys in the DIO DISCIPLES... As far as I'm concerned, there is zero credibility with the DIO DISCIPLES."
According to Vivian, he didn't know about DIO DISCIPLES' existence until 2012, almost two years after the band first started playing shows as a tribute to Ronnie. "It was around the time that [LAST IN LINE] got together to jam that I had first heard of the DIO DISCIPLES," the guitarist said. "I wasn't even aware of them. It was actually Vinny who told me. I couldn't believe that these guys were going out and playing songs that we actually wrote with Ronnie. I thought, 'Well, if they're doing it, then why shouldn't we do it?' With us, there is a legitimacy to what were doing, ya know? I doubt that there is a real legitimacy in the DIO DISCIPLES."
In a brand new interview with Sleaze Roxx, Goldy responded to Campbell's latest comments, saying: "It's just unfortunate that Vivian has continued to say vile things about Ronnie and us. I mean, I was in DIO with Vinny and I'm in another band with him [RESURRECTION KINGS]. Just like with any family, there's always one that holds onto a grudge forever. He's [Vivian] nice to my face. I don't know if he says bad things behind my back. I don't recall him saying anything vile about me."
He added: "I wish he'd just say 'I'm sorry.' Maybe something happened behind closed doors that Vivian finds unforgivable. I just find that just so hard to believe. I don't know what happened between the two of them [Ronnie and Vivian], but maybe [Vivian] stepped over some boundaries and felt the heat. He got called on it and was let go."
LAST IN LINE takes its name from the second DIO album released in 1984. Appice, Bain and Campbell were Ronnie James Dio's co-conspirators and co-writers on the "Holy Diver", "The Last In Line" and "Sacred Heart" albums — the records that defined the classic early DIO sound and have gone on to become part of rock history.
In addition to Goldy, Owens, Oni Logan (LYNCH MOB) and Joe Retta (SWEET, HEAVEN & EARTH) on vocals, DIO DISCIPLES features former DIO members Simon Wright on drums and Scott Warren on keyboards. They are joined by Bjorn Englen (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) on bass.
DIO DISCIPLES is billed as a "celebration of the music and legacy of the greatest singer in the world, Ronnie James Dio." The band also notes that "we could NEVER replace Ronnie and that is NOT our intention. There will only ever be one Ronnie James Dio!"
During an April 2011 appearance on the "All Hail Hair" show on Fightin' Words Radio, Vinny Appice was asked what he thought of DIO DISCIPLES going out on the road and paying tribute to Ronnie James Dio. "I think it's disgusting," he said. "I mean, why are they even doing it? Plus, [Ronnie has] not even been passed away for a year. And, you know… It's kind of… I don't know. It's kind of weird, man. It's weird."
Vinny later had a change of heart and ended up playing a number of shows with DIO DISCIPLES, including in March of this year in Glendale, California.
In an interview with BackstageAxxess.com, Vinny stated about his involvement with DIO DISCIPLES: "Just because I said it was disgusting at one point, now it's all over Blabbermouth. 'To Vinny Appice, it's not disgusting anymore.' The problem was they did it a couple of months after Ronnie passed, and then I thought it was awful; it wasn't the right time. Now they can do whatever they want; it's cool. It was just that, at the moment, it didn't seem like the best time to do it."
Asked by "Totally Driven Radio" what Wendy Dio's reaction has been to LAST IN LINE, Vinny responded: "Well, she's not involved in this in any way, shape or form. I don't know… I haven't really talked to her and asked what she thought. So she's not involved in this. I don't really know what she thinks about it. She probably hates it. I don't know. But you know? We're out there pushing everything — pushing the old songs, then keeping everything alive too. So you can't knock that."
Campbell told Billboard that Wendy has nothing to do with, and no love for, LAST IN LINE. "Vinny still has occasional contact with her," Campbell said, "and when we first started doing this project, she said something along the lines of, 'Ronnie would be spinning in his grave.' So there you go."

Q: Complex factorization of the angular part of the Laplacian Some time ago some research led me to the following equality:
\begin{equation}
 \frac{1}{\sin^2 \phi }\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial \theta^2} +\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial \phi^2} +\cot \phi \frac{\partial }{\partial \phi} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 \phi}(\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} - i \sin \phi \frac{\partial}{\partial \phi})(\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} + i \sin \phi\frac{\partial}{\partial \phi})
\end{equation}
and it struck me as curious that it seemed to establish some specific connection between harmonic functions in the sphere and some sort of complex analytic functions also in the sphere. The factorization itself is elementary but I didn't remember seeing it before that. Is there any reference for this factorization?
Addendum:
I will clarify what I mean by 'some sort of complex analytic functions'. If we focus on one of the factors in this factorization:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} + i \sin \phi\frac{\partial}{\partial \phi}
\end{equation}
The first question to comes to mind is wether there is a non-trivial null-solution to this system. If we look for complex-valued functions that satisfy:
\begin{equation}
(\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} + i \sin \phi\frac{\partial}{\partial \phi})(u + iv) = 0
\end{equation}
Given the similarity of this system to Cauchy-Riemann (save for the sine factor) we can make the ansatz that
\begin{equation}
u = \theta
\end{equation}
And then comparing the real part of the above system to zero yields:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial v}{\partial \phi} = \frac{1}{\sin \phi}
\end{equation}
from which we can make
\begin{equation}
v = \ln \tan \frac{\phi}{2}
\end{equation}
So thus we can find a non-constant solution:
\begin{equation}
\theta + i \ln \tan \frac{\phi}{2}
\end{equation}
On the other side this solution suffers from discontinuities and singularities so using this as a starting point we can try to obtain a better kind of solution. For the first, one can check that solutions to this 'angular Cauchy-Riemann' are also closed under complex multiplication (so given two solutions their complex product is again a solution) and naturally addition. Moreover, since solutions are complex-valued then is possible to make complex functions act on these solutions by composition. One can straight-forwardly prove that these functions are closed under the composition by a complex analytical functions (in some suitable open set where of the composition makes sense, of course). In other words if $g$ is a solution to this 'angular Cauchy-Riemann' and $f$ is complex analytical then $f \circ g$ is again a solution to the angular Cauchy-Riemann. This is very convenient to improve the above non-trivial solution by first multiplying by $-i$ and then apply the complex exponential. We end up with the much better-looking:
\begin{equation}
\tan \frac{\phi}{2} e^{-i \theta}
\end{equation}
Which is (weakly) singular in the north pole but behaves fine everywhere else. I don't know if these are the 'best' solutions one can find but despite my efforts I could never find 'better' than this one. To conclude this addendum and in view of all the above: given any non-constant complex analytical function $f$ there is a 'angular analytic function':
\begin{equation}
f(\tan \frac{\phi}{2} e^{-i \theta})
\end{equation}
whose real and imaginary parts are harmonic and that is defined in possibly all the sphere without one point. I couldn't make any substantial progress beyond this point.
Addendum 2:
This Cauchy-Riemann type factorization allowed us above to build some family of harmonic functions that depend only on parameters $\theta$ and $\phi$. I will try to draw a comparison with irregular solid harmonics. In order to consider them one has to allow singularities at the origin. An irregular solid harmonic is commonly written as:
\begin{equation}
I_{{\ell }}^{m}({\mathbf  {r}})\equiv {\sqrt  {{\frac  {4\pi }{2\ell +1}}}}\;{\frac  {Y_{{\ell }}^{m}(\theta ,\phi )}{r^{{\ell +1}}}}
\end{equation}
If we wanted to pick from these a solution whose radial part decreases like
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{r}
\end{equation}
then $l=0$ leaves us with $Y_{{0 }}^{0}(\theta ,\phi )$, which is a constant. This is the best we get if we require our harmonic function to be defined in all the unit sphere. If we allow to remove one point of the sphere then we get as a counterpart harmonic functions whose radial part still decrease as $r^{-1}$ but are not constant as a function of the sphere minus one point removed. In fact the function:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\tan \frac{\phi}{2} e^{-i \theta}}{r}
\end{equation}
is harmonic in all its domain:
\begin{equation}
\Delta ( \frac{\tan \frac{\phi}{2} e^{-i \theta}}{r} ) = 0
\end{equation}

In recent decades, increasing importance has been given to the study of molecules present in saliva as a tool for the study of several diseases. This is due, first, to the fact that saliva is a fluid that, in addition to having constituents produced by the different salivary glands, contains several molecules transported by the plasma, some of which are present in quantities proportional to their levels in the blood; secondly, saliva sampling has the advantage of being non-invasive, with its collection easily accepted by most individuals. This aspect is particularly advantageous for children, the elderly, and people in whom blood collection is difficult, because it can involve fear and pain. These two points, together with technological and analytical advances, have led to a large amount of research interest in working with this fluid from different perspectives and using molecular biomarkers present in saliva as interesting tools to diagnosis and monitoring human diseases.

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry technique (GC-MS) is mainly recognized as a tool of first choice when volatile compounds are determined. Here, we provide the credible evidence that its application in analysis can be extended to non-volatile sulfur-containing compounds, to which methionine (Met), homocysteine (Hcy), homocysteine thiolactone (HTL), and cysteine (Cys) belong. To prove this point, the first method, based on GC-MS, for the identification and quantification of Met-related compounds in human saliva, has been elaborated. The assay involves simultaneous disulfides reduction with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) and acetonitrile (MeCN) deproteinization, followed by preconcentration by drying under vacuum and treatment of the residue with a derivatizing mixture containing anhydrous pyridine, N-trimethylsilyl-N-methyl trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA), and trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS). The validity of the method was demonstrated based upon US FDA recommendations. The assay linearity was observed over the range of 0.5–20 µmol L−1 for Met, Hcy, Cys, and 1–20 µmol L−1 for HTL in saliva. The limit of quantification (LOQ) equals 0.1 µmol L−1 for Met, Hcy, Cys, while its value for HTL was 0.05 µmol L−1. The method was successfully applied to saliva samples donated by apparently healthy volunteers (n = 10). Full article

Melatonin (MT) and sirtuins (SIRT) are geroprotective molecules that hold back the aging process and the development of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular pathologies. Buccal epithelium (BE) sampling is a non-invasive procedure, yielding highly informative material for evaluating the expression of genes and proteins as well as the synthesis of molecules. Among these, MT and SIRTs are valuable markers of the aging process and age-related pathologies. The purpose of this study was to examine age-related expression patterns of these signaling molecules, in particular MT, SIRT1, SIRT3, and SIRT6 in BE of subjects of different ages with and without arterial hypertension (AH). We used real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence analysis by confocal microscopy. We found that MT immunofluorescence intensity in BE decreases with aging, more evidently in AH patients. SIRT3 and SIRT6 genes expression and immunofluorescence intensity in BE was decreased in aging controls. In AH patients, SIRT1, SIRT3, and SIRT6 gene expression and immunofluorescence intensity in BE was decreased in relation to age and in comparison with age-matched controls. In conclusion, the evaluation of MT and sirtuins in BE could provide a non-invasive method for appraising the aging process, also when accompanied by AH. Full article

Small non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of mRNA stability. Their features, including high stability and secretion to biofluids, make them attractive as potential biomarkers for diverse pathologies. This is the first study reporting miRNA as potential biomarkers for oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD), an adult-onset myopathy. We hypothesized that miRNA that is differentially expressed in affected muscles from OPMD patients is secreted to biofluids and those miRNAs could be used as biomarkers for OPMD. We first identified candidate miRNAs from OPMD-affected muscles and from muscles from an OPMD mouse model using RNA sequencing. We then compared the OPMD-deregulated miRNAs to the literature and, subsequently, we selected a few candidates for expression studies in serum and saliva biofluids using qRT-PCR. We identified 126 miRNAs OPMD-deregulated in human muscles, but 36 deregulated miRNAs in mice only (pFDR < 0.05). Only 15 OPMD-deregulated miRNAs overlapped between the in humans and mouse studies. The majority of the OPMD-deregulated miRNAs showed opposite deregulation direction compared with known muscular dystrophies miRNAs (myoMirs), which are associated. In contrast, similar dysregulation direction was found for 13 miRNAs that are common between OPMD and aging muscles. A significant age-association (p < 0.05) was found for 17 OPMD-deregulated miRNAs (13.4%), whereas in controls, only six miRNAs (1.4%) showed a significant age-association, suggesting that miRNA expression in OPMD is highly age-associated. miRNA expression in biofluids revealed that OPMD-associated deregulation in saliva was similar to that in muscles, but not in serum. The same as in muscle, miRNA expression levels in saliva were also found to be associated with age (p < 0.05). Moreover, the majority of OPMD-miRNAs were found to be associated with dysphagia as an initial symptom. We suggest that levels of specific miRNAs in saliva can mark muscle degeneration in general and dysphagia in OPMD. Full article

Periodontal disease (PD) is an inflammatory condition of the tissues supporting the teeth, which is widespread among the adult population. Evidence shows a relationship between PD and vitamin D levels, which is involved in the regulation of bone metabolism, mineral homeostasis, and inflammatory response. This study aimed to perform a simultaneous evaluation of inflammatory mediators and vitamin D levels in saliva in periodontopathic patients to better understand their role in periodontal disease. In this observational study, clinical periodontal parameter examination was performed for each patient. Moreover, the saliva levels of 25(OH)D3, TGFβ, IL-35, IL-17A, and MMP9 were evaluated using an ELISA assay. An increase in TGFβ, IL-35, MMP9, and IL-17A salivary levels and a reduction in 25(OH)D3 levels were observed in periodontopathic patients with respect to the healthy controls. The present study revealed significant positive correlation between cytokines and highly negative correlation between 25(OH)D3 and salivary cytokine levels. Further studies are needed to better understand if salivary cytokines and vitamin D evaluation may represent a new approach for detection and prevention of progressive diseases, such as PD.

In the last years, several attempts have been made to study specific biological markers of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). So far, no laboratory tests have been appropriately validated for the diagnosis and prognosis of these disorders. This study aimed to investigate the proteomic profile of the whole stimulated saliva of TMD myalgia patients in order to evaluate potential diagnostic and/or prognostic salivary candidate proteins which could be useful for the management of TMD. Twenty patients diagnosed with TMD myalgia according to the validated Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) and 20 matched healthy pain-free controls were enrolled. Saliva samples were collected in the morning. Comparative proteomic analysis was performed with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by identification with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Statistical analysis of the quantitative proteomics data revealed that 20 proteins were significantly altered in patients compared to controls. Among these proteins, 12 showed significantly increased levels, and 8 showed significantly decreased levels in patients with TMD myalgia compared to controls. The identified proteins are involved in metabolic processes, immune response, and stress response. This proteomic study shows that the salivary protein profile can discriminate patients with TMD myalgia from healthy subjects, but the protein signature has no correlation with the clinical features of TMD myalgia. Additional studies are needed to validate our observations in additional sample sets and to continue assessing the utility of saliva as a suitable sample for studying processes related to TMD myalgia.

Neurodegenerative diseases (ND) remains to be one of the biggest burdens on healthcare systems and serves as a leading cause of disability and death. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is among the most common of such disorders, followed by Parkinson's disease (PD). The basic molecular details of disease initiation and pathology are still under research. Only recently, the role of exosomes has been linked to the initiation and progression of these neurodegenerative diseases. Exosomes are small bilipid layer enclosed extracellular vesicles, which were once considered as a cellular waste and functionless. These nano-vesicles of 30–150 nm in diameter carry specific proteins, lipids, functional mRNAs, and high amounts of non-coding RNAs (miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs). As the exosomes content is known to vary as per their originating and recipient cells, these vesicles can be utilized as a diagnostic biomarker for early disease detection. Here we review exosomes, their biogenesis, composition, and role in neurodegenerative diseases. We have also provided details for their characterization through an array of available techniques. Their updated role in neurodegenerative disease pathology is also discussed. Finally, we have shed light on a novel field of salivary exosomes as a potential candidate for early diagnosis in neurodegenerative diseases and compared the biomarkers of salivary exosomes with other blood/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) based exosomes within these neurological ailments.

There is continuous and growing interest in research into new alternatives to standard biomarkers to detect and follow-up disease, reducing physical and psychological stress in patients needing regular and invasive medical examinations for the evaluation of pathologies, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Saliva is one of the most promising body fluids in the research of new biomarkers, thanks to the large number of molecules it contains. Many molecules present in saliva are often directly correlated to their concentration in the blood but may be affected by the condition of the oral cavity. This means that a careful selection of a specific biomarker is required for each pathology, especially pathologies such as IBD, which may induce inflammation in the oral cavity. Here, we analyze the currently used and the proposed new salivary biomarkers (i.e., calprotectin, cytokines, IgA, cortisol, and oxidative stress markers) for the detection and follow-up of the main subtypes of IBD, known as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Saliva is a highly versatile biological fluid that is easy to gather in a non-invasive manner—and the results of its analysis complement clinical and histopathological findings in the diagnosis of multiple diseases. The objective of this review was to offer an update on the contribution of salivary biomarkers to the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases of the oral cavity, including oral lichen planus, periodontitis, Sjögren's syndrome, oral leukoplakia, peri-implantitis, and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Salivary biomarkers such as interleukins, growth factors, enzymes, and other biomolecules have proven useful in the diagnosis and follow-up of these diseases, facilitating the early evaluation of malignization risk and the monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment. However, further studies are required to identify new biomarkers and verify their reported role in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of oral diseases. Full article

The template has to be mixed in the scope where the other __traits() operations are performed. A simple function template that uses __traits(getProtection) does not faithfully represent the member accessibility if the function is declared in another module. Another problem is that __traits(getProtection) does not well represent the accessibility of the private members (own members or friend classes /structs).
