Engineers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new device that can warn consumers about early risks of tooth decay from diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis, the earliest form of gum disease, is caused by bacteria. But not just any bacteria. The problem for researchers was getting a device to single out the particular type responsible for the disease, said Andrew Steckl, an Ohio Eminent Scholar and distinguished research professor in UC's College of Engineering and Applied Science.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 — The government's decision to use the services of satellite internet providers such as Starlink in areas which do not have good internet access is a temporary solution, while the long-term solutions are being implemented. Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the internet service is suitable as a temporary solution because it is plug-and-play, has fast internet speed and the price offered is reasonable. 'In Malaysia, we have four satellite internet service providers including Starlink.

The family of Newcastle woman Krista Kach who was killed by NSW Police in Newcastle last week have released a statement describing Ms Kach as caring deeply about her family and community and police actions that led to her death as 'disturbing'. The statement follows news overnight of another critical incident in which police shot a man when they were called out for a welfare check in Darlinghurst. Greens MP and spokesperson for justice Sue Higginson has called on the government to support a Parliamentary Inquiry into NSW Police responses to vulnerable people through a Select Committee since police tasered 95-year-old dementia patient Clare Nowland to death in May and killed four people in as many months who were experiencing mental health distress.
