Impact of the anterior commissure involvement on the survival of early glottic cancer treated with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy: a retrospective study
2018
Eugenia Allegra,1 Vincenzo Saita,2 Alfio Azzolina,2 Massimo De Natale,2 Maria Rita Bianco,1 Domenico Michele Modica,3 Aldo Garozzo1 1Otolaryngology, Department of Health Sciences, University of Catanzaro, Catanzaro, Italy; 2Otolaryngology Unit, Cannizzaro Hospital, Catania, Italy; 3Otolaryngology Unit, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy Background: Laryngeal early glottic tumors can benefit from different treatment modalities, including transoral laser microsurgery, open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL), and radiotherapy. However, the treatment of early glottic tumors with the involvement of the anterior commissure remains controversial. The studies about the role of anterior commi…
Rehabilitación del maxilar superior con atrofia severa horizontal utilizando implantes dentales palatinizados.
2016
Objetivo: Evaluar las condiciones de los tejidos blandos y la pérdida de hueso alrededor de los implantes palatinizados en maxilares con severa atrofia horizontal, rehabilitados con prótesis fija de arco completo y compararlos con los implantes convencionales centrados en la cresta ósea de maxilares no atróficos tras un periodo mínimo de 5 años de seguimiento. Material y método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo clínico y controlado sobre pacientes que fueron rehabilitados con prótesis fija de arcada completa sobre implantes dentales en el maxilar y con un seguimiento mínimo de 5 años después de la carga del implante. Los pacientes se dividieron en 2 grupos: pacientes con maxilar clase IV…
Evolutionary advantage conferred by an eukaryote-to-eukaryote gene transfer event in wine yeasts
2015
Although an increasing number of horizontal gene transfers have been reported in eukaryotes, experimental evidence for their adaptive value is lacking. Here, we report the recent transfer of a 158-kb genomic region between Torulaspora microellipsoides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeasts or closely related strains. This genomic region has undergone several rearrangements in S. cerevisiae strains, including gene loss and gene conversion between two tandemly duplicated FOT genes encoding oligopeptide transporters. We show that FOT genes confer a strong competitive advantage during grape must fermentation by increasing the number and diversity of oligopeptides that yeast can utilize as a s…
