...first chukker, the power play between Nick and Charlie Hutchinson, UConn’s leading player, makes immediately clear that the two teams are closely matched; the seven-and-a-half minutes end with UConn in a one-goal lead. But in the second chukker, Harvard loses its close follow, racking up multiple crossing violations and missing several foul shots.

Hu said he hopes that results of this study will eventually help scientists better understand the biological mechanisms that cause gum disease. Data used in Jimenez’s analysis was collected as part of the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, an HSPH longitudinal study funded by the National Institute of Health, which has been following over 51,000 male health professionals since 1986. In a similar study, Jimenez also found a strong correlation between obesity and increasing risk of periodontal disease in the elderly population. Jimenez presented...
