Aim:

To design and evaluate an animated educational application to improve oral health among children with hearing impairment.

Methods:

A feasibility pilot pre-post study was conducted over 2 months with 26 children with hearing impairment. The intervention consisted of application-based animations and questionnaires, developed through focus group input. Knowledge changes in children were assessed using a visual questionnaire, while behavioral changes and application satisfaction were evaluated via online questionnaires completed by mothers, both before and after the intervention.

Results:

Significant improvements were observed in children's overall oral health knowledge and behavior following the intervention (p < 0.05). While individual items were not statistically analyzed, descriptive data indicated positive trends. Children showed increased awareness of healthy food choices, proper brushing and flossing techniques, and the importance of regular dental visits. Mothers reported behavioral changes, including more frequent toothbrushing and flossing, reduced sugary snack consumption, and increased intake of fruits and milk. High satisfaction among mothers reflected strong acceptability and usability of the intervention.

Conclusion:

This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of using animation-based applications to promote oral health among children with hearing impairments.

Hearing

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

Oral Cavity

Oral Cavity

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Health Literacy

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...
