Prevenzione e benessere in tempo di peste: cura della persona e dietetica nel contributo del medico siciliano Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia (1576)

2022

Il saggio intende evidenziare il contributo che Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia (1510-1580) ha offerto alla definizione di un regime salutare di igiene personale e di alimentazione a livello preventivo, secondo la tradizione umoralistica, in occasione dell’ondata epidemica che colpì la Sicilia nel 1575-76. La ricerca, connettendosi a studi recenti su queste tematiche, fa emergere aspetti finora poco noti della personalità scientifica del grande medico siciliano e aggiunge un tassello alla letteratura sul vivere sano. The essay aims to highlight Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia’s (1510-1580) contribution towards identifying and defining a healthy personal hygiene and dietary regime preventing the sprea…

Oral manifestations of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome: a paediatric case report.

2009

ABSTRACT. Background The Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, characterised by multiple congenital malformations, dysmorphic facial features and mental retardation. SLOS is caused by a genetically inherited deficiency of the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol Δ7reductase (7-DHC reductase), the catalyst involved in the final step of cholesterol biosynthesis, with the consequence of an increased serum levels of 7-DHC and generalised cholesterol deficiency. Case Report A 5-year-old female child was referred to the Department of Paediatric Dentistry of the University of Palermo for caries, gingivitis and malocclusion. The medical history revealed the diagnosis …

Perceived and measurable performance of daily brushing and rinsing with essential oils mouthrinse

2010

Aims. To determine whether the oral health benefits of recommending twice daily brushing and rinsing with an essential oil mouthrinse (EOM) are perceived and measurable by dentists and also perceived by their patients at a 3-month recall visit. Methods. This is a monadic, open label, uncontrolled study involving 766 generally healthy Italian subjects aged 19-66 years, with mild to moderate levels of gingivitis, no pockets of more than 4 mm, and at least 20 scorable teeth. Eight dentists scored subjects for plaque and gingivitis at baseline and at 90 days using simplified 4-point plaque and gingivitis indices. All subjects brushed twice daily, immediately followed by rinsing for 30 sec with …

Il mantenimento della salute orale nel paziente in trattamento ortodontico

2008

I trattamenti ortodontici vengono eseguiti con dispositivi rimovibili o fissi che, modificando l’ecosistema del cavo orale, aumentano il rischio d’insorgenza e progressione di lesioni cariose e di malattia parodontale. Pertanto, occorre attuare un protocollo individualizzato di prevenzione che preveda un adeguato addestramento all’igiene orale domiciliare, con rinforzi motivazionali nelle varie fasi del trattamento ortodontico, e l’attuazione di programmi di fluoroprofilassi topica professionale e domiciliare. Fixed or removable appliances impede the maintenance of good oral hygiene resulting in dental plaque accumulation. Plaque retention surrounding orthodontic appliances can increase the…

A Proposal to estimate the roaming–dog Total in an urban area through a PPSWOR spatial sampling with sample size greater than two

2018

Settore SECS-S/05 - Statistica SocialeDogs roaming in urban areas constitute an issue for public order hygiene and health. Proper planning of actions for health and security control and allocation of financial funds require the knowledge of the roaming–dog–population size in a given urban area. Unfortunately a reliable statistical procedure aimed to measure such population is not available yet in literature. This paper presents a simple reproducible survey sampling procedure to estimate the number of roaming dogs in an urban area through the description of a real study carried out on a restricted area of the city of Palermo in southern Italy. A sample of areas is drawn by means of a drawn–by–drawn spatial sampling with probabilities proportional to size and without replacement (PPSWOR). As inclusion probabilities are not available in closed form they are estimated by Monte Carlo approach which is of simple implementation and permits design–based variance estimation even when first–order inclusion probabilities are unknown.

Selfless or Selfish? The Impact of Message Framing and Egoistic Motivation on Narcissists’ Compliance with Preventive Health Behaviors during COVID-19

2021

COVID-19 is one of the greatest international health crises in recent years. Due to the highly contagious nature of the virus, the World Health Organization has recommended that people comply with a set of preventive measures to reduce the infection rate (e.g., social distancing, wearing a face mask, thorough personal hygiene). However, people typically differ in the extent to which they are willing to comply with such recommendations, as they imply certain personal restrictions. The present study aimed to investigate whether narcissism levels and message framing strategies affect individuals’ willingness to accept personal restrictions and, consequently, comply with a set of preventive hea…

2018

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the plaque removal efficacy of an oscillating-rotating electric toothbrush with an orthodontic brush head versus a sonic toothbrush in adolescent patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Materials and Methods: This was a randomized, examiner-blind, replicate single-use, two-treatment, four-period, crossover study with a washout period between visits of approximately 24 hours. Forty-four adolescent patients with fixed orthodontic appliances in both arches were randomized based on a computer-generated randomization schedule to one of four toothbrush treatment sequences. The primary outcome was plaque score change from baseline, measured using digital plaque i…

The Efficacy of Powered Oscillating Heads vs. Powered Sonic Action Heads Toothbrushes to Maintain Periodontal and Peri-Implant Health: A Narrative Re…

2021

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of rotating-oscillating heads (ORHs) VS sonic action heads (SAHs) powered toothbrushes on plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation. Methods: An electronic (MEDLINE, Embase, Inspec, PQ SciTech and BIOSIS) and a complementary manual search were made to detect eligible studies. RCTs meeting the following criteria were included: final timepoint longer than 15 days; year of publication after 2000; patients without orthodontic appliances or severe systemic/psychiatric diseases. Studies comparing two or more different types of sonic/roto-oscillating toothbrushes were excluded. Selection of articles, extraction of data, and assessment of quality were made in…
