Abstract

In this world of uncertainties and challenges, mental well-being of youth is crucial. Experiential arts and theatre-based techniques have enormous potential to improve mental health and have profound therapeutic benefits. To explore and evaluate the impact and efficacy of various art and theatre-based interventions used solely to promote young people's positive mental health and well-being. Peer-reviewed reports published between 2002 and 2022, identified from databases such as PubMed, Ovid, Google Scholar, and ERIC, were used to collate and gather ideas on arts and theatre-based interventions for positive mental health and well-being in young people. From the 623 identified reports, a total of nine studies were identified. Arts-based interventions implemented in schools, community centers, and healthcare settings showed promising results in the mental well-being of young people. The outcomes evaluated were alleviation of symptoms, better emotional well-being, self-expression, improved self-esteem, and coping abilities. The findings of this scoping review suggest that art and theatre-based interventions can potentially improve young people's mental health. The wide range of interventions and results explores these techniques, the domains targeted, and their adaptability and efficacy suggest that they are far better than the other approaches.

Abstract

Background: This manuscript investigated the intricate relationships among obesity, chronic periodontitis (CP), and salivary proteomics. Purpose: Aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these interconnected health conditions. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in compliance with the registered PROSPERO protocol (vide number CRD42023422848). Out of 361 screened records, four articles were chosen and analyzed to examine the potential connections between obesity-related systemic inflammation, oral health decline, and changes in salivary protein profiles. Results: The major biomarkers identified were interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, matrix metalloproteinases, and alpha defensins. Conclusion: The results shared here could aid in crafting specific diagnostic and treatment approaches for those suffering from obesity and CP.
