Brush Your Teeth, Help Save Your Heart?
Researchers found that as people’s gum
health improved, the buildup of plaque in their arteries slowed. This narrowing of the arteries,
called atherosclerosis, is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke and
death.
The
study included 420 adults who underwent tests to assess their gum health and
plaque buildup in their neck (carotid) arteries. Over a follow-up of roughly
three years, improvements in gum health and a reduction in the proportion of
bacteria linked with gum infection (periodontal disease) was associated with a
slower rate of plaque accumulation in the neck arteries.
The findings were published online
Oct. 28 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
“These
results are important because atherosclerosis progressed in parallel with both
clinical periodontal disease and the bacterial profiles in the gums,” study
lead author Dr. Moise Desvarieux, an associate professor of epidemiology at
Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, said in a university
news release. “This is the most direct evidence yet that modifying the
periodontal bacterial profile could play a role in preventing or slowing both
diseases.”
Gum
disease-related bacteria may contribute to atherosclerosis in a number of ways.
For example, animal studies suggest that these bacteria may trigger
inflammation associated with atherosclerosis.
“It is critical that we continue to follow
these patients to see if the relationship between periodontal infections and
atherosclerosis carries over to clinical events like heart attack and stroke,
and test if modifying the periodontal flora will slow the progression of
atherosclerosis,” Desvarieux said.
Regular
visits to your dentist and daily dental care can reduce your risk of gum
disease.
The
Analysis:
1.
Researchers found that as people’s
gum health improved, the buildup of plaque in their arteries slowed.
The sentence
above included into Simple Past Tense base on its pattern: Subject + Verb 2 +
Object. Researcher as a subject, found as a verb 2, and ...that as people’s gum health improved,...
as an object. Simple Past Tense explains about something (event) that
happened in the past.
2.
The findings were published online
Oct. 28 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
The sentence
above included into Passive Voice. The passive forms of a
verb are created by combining a form of the "to be verb" (were) with the past participle of the
main verb (published).
3.
“It is critical that we continue to follow
these patients to see if the relationship between periodontal infections and
atherosclerosis carries over to clinical events like heart attack and stroke,
and test if modifying the periodontal flora will slow the progression of
atherosclerosis,” Desvarieux said.
The sentence
above included into Direct Speech because it reports what someone says by repeating the exact words. In
here, Desvarieux
says something in quotation mark (“...”). It can also called Quoted Speech.

Five Cool Reasons to Visit Oregon’s Washington County This Fall
Cool temperatures, golden colors of autumn and spectacular events are just three reasons to visit Oregon’s Washington County this fall. The season brings a cornucopia of places to see and things to do. We’ve collected some of the best reasons why you should plan a trip here in the coming months.
Autumn marks the height of the agricultural season, which not only means a bounty of autumn fruits and vegetables at the farmers’ markets, it also means that the season is heating up with fun, family farm events. Love apples? Three apple festivals this fall celebrate the diversity and deliciousness of Oregon-grown apples. In October, Pick a pumpkin, try a game of pumpkin bowling, take a hay ride and get lost in a corn maze, as pumpkin patches are open for the season.
2. The Colors Are Changing
On a cool, autumn day, the rural, agricultural and forested scenery of Oregon’s Washington County comes alive with bright red, orange and yellow leaves — a stark contrast to the deep, dark green of the fir trees that share these landscapes. We can’t think of a better way to enjoy the change of seasons that with a drive along the 60-mileVineyard and Valley Scenic Tour Route, or a cycle along the 50-mileTualatin Valley Scenic Bike way.
3. Bird Migration Season Is in High Season
September and October are busy months for bird watchers. Migratory and native birds call Washington County “home,” whether it’s for the winter or they’re just visiting on their southern voyage. Celebrate National Wildlife Refuge Week, October 13-19 at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge and discover the importance the national refuge system is to this ecosystem. Discover Washington County’s wildlife preserves and nature parks >>>
4. Wine Harvest Season Brings Signature Tasting Events
Celebrate the splendor of Oregon wine at two of the region’s biggest wine events, which happen annually in the fall. The North Willamette Harvest Trail and Grand Tasting is a full-day guided bus tour to three wineries featuring hands-on experiences,vineyard exploration, a wine country lunch, and wine tastings, culminating in a grand tasting of wines from North Willamette wineries. The valley-wide Thanksgiving Wine Weekend is a celebration of the completion of harvest and a time when several wineries open their newest vintages of Pinot Noir, some of which have been resting for nearly two years in the bottle.
5.Experience Tree-to-Tree Adventures at Sunset
Enjoy the crisp temperatures and spectacular colors of the season at Tree to Tree Adventure Park, an aerial ropes course with six challenging courses and zip-line park, all rolled into one. These are the final months to enjoy this fun and exciting attraction until it closes for the season in November.
