Five-minute Apgar score ≤ 5 and molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) - a case control study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-22)Background: The aetiology of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is unclear. The asymmetric distribution of MIH in the dentition may indicate that an insult of short duration that affects ameloblasts at a vulnerable stage could be a causative factor. Apgar ≤ 5 at 5 min may indicate asphyxia (hypoxic-ischemic insult) during birth. It was hypnotised that low Apgar score during birth may cause MIH. ... -
Longitudinal Evidence for Smaller Hippocampus Volume as a Vulnerability Factor for Perceived Stress
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)Hippocampal volume has been found to be smaller in individuals with stress-related disorders, but it remains unclear whether smaller volume is a consequence of stress or rather a vulnerability factor. Here, we examined this issue by relating stress levels to hippocampal volumes in healthy participants examined every 5 years in a longitudinal population-based study. Based on scores of 25- to ... -
