Evaluation of the iridocorneal angle with accommodation using optical coherence tomography
2017
The changes in the iridocorneal angle structure during accommodation are assessed by means of anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Thirteen right eyes were included in the study. The device used for the measurement was the Visante® omni system. The stimuli were set up at different vergences (0.0 D, -1.5 D, and -3.0 D). The angle opening distance 500 and 750, the trabecular iris space area 500 and 750, and the scleral spur angle parameters were assessed at the nasal and temporal regions. The results in the iridotrabecular angle comparing the three accommodative states of the eye did not yield any statistically significant difference at nasal or temporal angle sections. In light of …
The Difference in Verbal aggressiveness Between the United States and Thailand
2013
This study analyzes the verbal aggressiveness of Americans (n = 592) and Thais (n = 232). Specifically, the analysis of this convenience sample revealed that Thais are more verbally aggressive than Americans. Cultural differences between the 2 nations are discussed as explanations for differences between the 2 nations in verbal aggressiveness.
Valoración de la regeneración ósea en un modelo animal: Utilización del plasma rico en plaquetas en la curación de los defectos óseos. Estudio prelim…
2007
INTRODUCCIÓN: Los factores de crecimiento y otras moléculas con capacidad osteoinductora pueden considerarse biomateriales que poseen actividad importante en los procesos de reparación y regeneración de los seres vivos. Esta capacidad puede utilizarse para favorecer, asegurar y aumentar lo procesos de reparación del tejido óseo. En esta tesis doctoral se realiza el estudio de la aplicación aislada en un defecto óseo, de un compuesto rico en plaquetas y factores de crecimiento, el plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP).MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Hemos realizado un estudio experimental prospectivo, comparativo bilateral y controlado, interviniendo quirúrgicamente 30 conejos raza Nueva Zelanda, a los que se p…
Familia y problemas de desajuste en la adolescencia: El papel mediador de los recuerdos psicosociales.
2006
Introducción: Existe una muy amplia literatura científica que señala que las relaciones dentro de la familia (la composición familiar, el estilo, el clima, etc.) configuran un escenario que condiciona el repertorio deconductas adolescentes y sus mayores o menores posibilidades de que éstas sean de tipo problemático. Más aun, las relaciones en el contexto familia pueden condicionar la base de seguridad y confianza con la que los chicos y chicas gestionarán los riesgos y crisis que tendrán que vivir. Nuestro interés se centra en conocer por qué o cómo la familia influye en las conductas de los hijos/as adolescentes. Es decir, consideramos que pueden existir ciertas variables relacionadas con …
Turning Right/Turning Left? : A Neoclassical Socioeconomic Query of the Arts Signaled by Museum and Branding in Finland
2016
ABSTRACTThe Guggenheim Helsinki Plan indicated a wishful turn of the arts and culture in Finland from the socio-democratic tradition of a welfare society towards a further neoliberalism. Following the Finnish historical timeline and from a museological viewpoint, this article reviews how national identity was built through the arts, which later integrated into formal and informal education to enhance human capital. This instrumental view now promotes the idea of useful art to fuel an innovation economy of advanced technology. Considering embarking on the intricate platform of arts, economics, and finance through Guggenheim, rethinking the contemporary art market mechanism may prove to be be…
Caracterización inmunofenotípica del cáncer de cuello uterino asociado a la infección por Virus Papiloma Humano (HPV)
2006
Se llevó a cabo un estudio inmunohistoquímico incluyendo un panel de 18 biomarcadores y un estudio molecular en 81 biopsias de cáncer de cuello uterino (59 carcinomas epidermoides y 19 adenocarcinomas cervicales) diagnosticados en el Servicio de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia, con la finalidad de realizar la caracterización inmunohistoquímica de esta neoplasia invasora y determinar la presencia de ADN-HPV asociado. El estudio inmunohistoquímico se realizó, en tumores cervicales y tejido cervical benigno como control, mediante la técnica de avidina-biotina, interpretado mediante una escala semicuantitativa. Se determinó la presencia y genotipificación de A…
The case for simplifying and using absolute targets for viral hepatitis elimination goals
2021
The 69th World Health Assembly endorsed the Global Health Sector Strategy for Viral Hepatitis, embracing a goal to eliminate hepatitis infection as a public health threat by 2030. This was followed by the World Health Organization's (WHO) global targets for the care and management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. These announcements and targets were important in raising awareness and calling for action; however, tracking countries’ progress towards these elimination goals has provided insights to the limitations of these targets. The existing targets compare a country's progress relative to its 2015 values, penalizing countries who started their programmes …
Multidimensional prognostic index and the risk of fractures: an 8-year longitudinal cohort study in the Osteoarthritis Initiative
2021
Abstract Summary In this longitudinal study, with a follow-up of 8 years, multidimensional prognostic index (MPI), a product of the comprehensive geriatric assessment, significantly predicted the onset of fractures in older people affected by knee osteoarthritis. Purpose Frailty may be associated with higher fracture risk, but limited research has been carried out using a multidimensional approach to frailty assessment and diagnosis. The present research aimed to investigate whether the MPI, based on comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), is associated with the risk of fractures in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) study. Methods Community-dwellers affected by knee OA or at high risk f…
Environment and Endometriosis: A toxic relationship
2015
Endometriosis is a common, be- nign, estrogen-dependent gynecological dis- ease that represents one of the main causes of hospitalization in industrialized countries. It is well established that a large amount of natural and man-made chemicals are present in the en- vironment and both humans and animals are exposed to them. Dioxin and dioxin-like com- pounds have long biological half-life, can accu- mulate within the organism and could negative- ly affect several physiological processes. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the possible relationship between these chemicals and the pathogenesis of en- dometriosis.
