Comparison of modified Bass, Fones and normal tooth brushing technique for the efficacy of plaque control in young adults- A randomized clinical trial
2019
Background To compare the anti plaque efficacy of Modified Bass, Fones and Normal brushing techniques in young adults. Material and methods An investigator blinded randomized controlled trial with parallel design was adopted to compare the anti plaque efficacy of three tooth brushing techniques. The study population consisted of 120 dental students aged between 18 and 30 years. Results At the baseline, the mean plaque scores were 0.74 ± 0.39, 0.77 ± 0.34 and 0.98 ± 0.36 respectively, for Modified Bass, Fones and Normal brushing technique. After 24 hours without any oral hygiene activity, the plaque scores increased to 1.04 ± 0.30, 1.11 ± 0.32 and 1.21 ± 0.40, respectively. After 1 week of u…
Paulo Freire en Valencia. Conferencia del día 30 de marzo de 1995
2021
El libro recoge la transcripción de la conferencia que Paulo Freire impartió en las Jornadas “La importancia estratégica de la formación de personas adultas en la Comunidad Valenciana”, celebradas en la sede histórica de Valencia de la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) los días 30 y 31 de marzo de 1995, en el marco de la aprobación de la Ley Valenciana de la Formación de Personas Adultas. Aprovechando la coincidencia de dos efemérides muy cercanas –el 25 aniversario de su visita a la Comunidad Valenciana y el centenario de su nacimiento el 19 de septiembre de 2021 en Recife (Brasil)– ahora se recupera por primera vez el contenido de esta conferencia. The book gather…

2021
En 2020 se ha cumplido el vigesimoquinto aniversario de la presencia de Paulo Freire en tierras valencianas como conferenciante principal en el Seminario “La importancia estratégica de la formación de personas adultas en la Comunidad Valenciana”, organizado por la sede local de la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) y llevado a cabo, los días 30 y 31 de marzo de 1995, en el Palau de Pineda de Valencia. En el contexto del mismo Seminario, participó también en dos jornadas formativas en Castellón y en Alicante, los días 3 y 4 de abril. En el Seminario participaron también diferentes ponentes -del ámbito local, estatal e internacional- con destacadas aportaciones en el ám…
Los retos de la alfabetización de las personas adultas. Creencias de docentes peruanos y propuestas metodológicas
2019
[EN] We address the challenges of adult literacy in an American context from a European perspective. We focus on the context of adult education in Peru, a country with a great cultural and linguistic diversity, based on the interaction produced with a hundred Peruvian teachers linked to the CEBA (Basic Alternative Education) centers. The school context of young people and adults in situations of illiteracy ascribed to the Program for Literacy and Basic Education of Young People and Adults (PAEBA) presents situations of extreme poverty and inequality, which require specific actions and methodologies. From the experience of adult literacy centers and the sociolinguistic reality of teaching in…
El modelo norteamericano de educación superior de los Community Colleges
2014
El sistema norteamericano de educación superior es mundialmente conocido, liderado por ilustres universidades, como Harvard o Yale. No obstante, existe una extensa red de instituciones de menor duración, denominadas community colleges, que son las grandes desconocidas fuera de sus fronteras, pese a haber formado a millones de norteamericanos desde su creación en 1901. Son instituciones “made in the USA”, donde cualquier ciudadano puede acceder a los programas oficiales de educación superior o puede cursar materias sueltas de educación universitaria, de formación profesional o de formación continua, sin la necesidad de perseguir titulación alguna, en función de sus intereses profesionales o …
Effects of Functional Strength Training on Functional Movement and Balance in Middle-Aged Adults
2021
Functional movement deficiencies cause falls and injuries in adults. Functional strength training (FST) is emerging as a new training method for athletes, middle-aged and older adults, to improve functional movement: The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of FST on balance and functional movement in healthy and independent middle-aged adults. The sample for this study consisted of 46 physically active individuals (24 female and 22 male). A total of 46 subjects were divided based on randomly into the functional strength training (FST) group (n = 26) aged: 51.55 ± 3.73 years; height: 168.69 ± 8.8 cm; body mass: 75.88 ± 12.18; and traditional s…
V gamma 9V delta 2 T lymphocytes efficiently recognize and kill zoledronate-sensitized, imatinib-sensitive, and imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenou…
2010
Abstract Imatinib mesylate (imatinib), a competitive inhibitor of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, is highly effective against chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells. However, because 20–30% of patients affected by CML display either primary or secondary resistance to imatinib, intentional activation of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells by phosphoantigens or by agents that cause their accumulation within cells, such as zoledronate, may represent a promising strategy for the design of a novel and highly innovative immunotherapy capable to overcome imatinib resistance. In this study, we show that Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes recognize, trogocytose, and efficiently kill imatinib-sensitive and -resistant CML cell lines pre…
Gastric polypoid lesions. Our experience.
2010
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The Authors report the results of their experience on polypoids lesions of the stomach and on endoscopic polypectomies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A study on 2000 OGD (oesophagogastroduodenoscopy) has been carried out on 95 patients with polypoid lesions. The authors have analysed the associations existing between histological type and symptomatology and localisation of the lesion and the status of the Helicobacter pylori and the risk of cancerization. The data were confronted with the ones already available. RESULTS: In the majority of the cases, the polypoid lesions were asymptomatic, the localization changed according to the histological type, with the antrum as the most a…
Replication of the association between CHRNA4 rs1044396 and harm avoidance in a large population-based sample.
2015
Harm avoidance is a personality trait characterized by excessive worrying and fear of uncertainty, which has repeatedly been related to anxiety disorders. Converging lines of research in rodents and humans point towards an involvement of the nicotinic cholinergic system in the modulation of anxiety. Most notably, the rs1044396 polymorphism in the CHRNA4 gene, which codes for the α4 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, has been linked to negative emotionality traits including harm avoidance in a recent study. Against this background, we investigated the association between harm avoidance and the rs1044396 polymorphism using data from N=1673 healthy subjects, which were collected …
Another New Riparian Dendrobatid Frog Species from the Upper Amazon Basin of Peru
2003
A new dendrobatid frog of the genus Colostethus is described from the Cordillera El Sira, an isolated mountain ridge in the upper Amazon basin of central Peru. It has bright yellowish dorsolateral stripes thus resembling Colostethus exasperatus, Colostethus sp. (cf. exasperatus), and Colostethus nexipus, all from the upper Amazon basin of Ecuador and Peru. In morphology, the new species is most similar to Colostethus mcdiarmidi from the eastern Andean slopes of Bolivia and Colostethus alessandroi from the eastern Andean slopes of Peru. The new species can be distinguished from all these taxa on the basis of coloration including the color of the ring around pupil in life, adult male size, le…
