TL;DR: In this paper, a case example of a strengths-based approach to school-family- community partnerships that a school counselor in a Title I elementary school is implementing to empower low-income children and families of color is described.
Abstract: When school counselors team and collaborate with school personnel, families, and community members to foster strengths-based partnerships, they are able to implement classroom, schoolwide, and community-based programs and interventions that support and empower children and families. Strengths-based partnerships utilize the assets found in schools, families, and communities to create strengths-enhancing environments, promote caring and positive adult-child relationships, strengthen children's social support networks, foster academic success, and empower children with a sense of purpose. This article describes a case example of a strengths-based approach to school-family- community partnerships that a school counselor in a Title I elementary school is implementing to empower low-income children and families of color.

TL;DR: Injuries are an important cause of health loss globally, though mortality has declined between 1990 and 2017, and future research in injury burden should focus on prevention in high-burden populations, improving data collection and ensuring access to medical care.
Abstract: Background Past research in population health trends has shown
that injuries form a substantial burden of population health loss.
Regular updates to injury burden assessments are critical. We report
Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 Study estimates on morbidity
and mortality for all injuries.
Methods We reviewed results for injuries from the GBD 2017 study.
GBD 2017 measured injury-specific mortality and years of life lost
(YLLs) using the Cause of Death Ensemble model. To measure non-fatal
injuries, GBD 2017 modelled injury-specific incidence and converted
this to prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs). YLLs and YLDs
were summed to calculate disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
Findings In 1990, there were 4 260 493 (4 085 700 to 4 396 138)
injury deaths, which increased to 4 484 722 (4 332 010 to 4 585 554)
deaths in 2017, while age-standardised mortality decreased from 1079
(1073 to 1086) to 738 (730 to 745) per 100 000. In 1990, there were
354 064 302 (95% uncertainty interval: 338 174 876 to 371 610 802)
new cases of injury globally, which increased to 520 710 288 (493
430 247 to 547 988 635) new cases in 2017. During this time, agestandardised incidence decreased non-significantly from 6824 (6534 to
7147) to 6763 (6412 to 7118) per 100 000. Between 1990 and 2017,
age-standardised DALYs decreased from 4947 (4655 to 5233) per
100 000 to 3267 (3058 to 3505).
Interpretation Injuries are an important cause of health loss
globally, though mortality has declined between 1990 and 2017.
Future research in injury burden should focus on prevention in highburden populations, improving data collection and ensuring access to
medical care.

TL;DR: A review of a number of studies that have examined the visual and microscopic appearance and roughness of glazed, unglazed and polished porcelain surfaces using techniques such as, scanning electron microscopy and surface profilometry shows that polishing can produce an equally smooth surface, which may even be esthetically better.
Abstract: Background Dental porcelain has found an increased number of applications in recent years with the development of new methods for the construction of porcelain veneers and intracoronal restorations. In addition, it is used in metal-ceramic and all-porcelain crowns and bridges for the restoration of anterior and posterior teeth. Methods This paper presents a review of a number of studies that have examined the visual and microscopic appearance and roughness of glazed, unglazed and polished porcelain surfaces using techniques such as, scanning electron microscopy and surface profilometry. Findings All have agreed that glazed porcelain provides a smooth and dense surface. Many have shown that polishing can produce an equally smooth surface, which may even be esthetically better. Some studies supported the use of polishing as an alternative to glazing. However, reports have shown that unglazed porcelain is more abrasive than glazed. Clinical significance This paper aims to guide general practitioners in the proper polishing of adjusted porcelain in the dental office. The recommendations of various authors are summarized in Table I.
