Estudio comparativo de la fiabilidad y reproducibilidad en la medición de los tamaños dentarios y las medidas de la arcada dentaria entre la tomograf…
2011
La tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) ha supuesto un gran cambio en el diagnóstico ortodóncico ya que nos proporciona información de las estructuras orofaciales en las tres direcciones del espacio, a diferencia de la radiografía convencional. A partir del CBCT podemos obtener modelos tridimensionales que reproducen tridimensionalmente la dentición del paciente, pudiendo realizar mediciones que antes realizábamos sobre los modelos de estudio. Estos nuevos modelos nos permiten realizar mediciones en dientes impactados o que no han hecho erupción, así como valorar las inclinaciones radiculares de todos los dientes. Pero para poder hacer uso de estos nuevos modelos de estudio, será n…
The Value of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) for Sepsis Diagnosis and Prognosis.
2021
Sepsis represents an important global health burden due to its high mortality and morbidity. The rapid detection of sepsis is crucial in order to prevent adverse outcomes and reduce mortality. However, the diagnosis of sepsis is still challenging and many efforts have been made to identify reliable biomarkers. Unfortunately, many investigated biomarkers have several limitations that do not support their introduction in clinical practice, such as moderate diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, long turn-around time, and high-costs. Complete blood count represents instead a precious test that provides a wealth of information on individual health status. It can guide clinicians to early-identify …
Editorial: CBCT special issue
2014
In the dental community, it is a common belief that CBCT was invented for oral and maxillofacial imaging. Of course, we know that this is a myth since the technique of a volumetric CT is indeed much older and dates back to the late 1970s.1,2 Considering that CT was introduced in 1973, its volumetric counterpart was developed very soon thereafter driven by the need for high spatial and temporal resolution that a conventional CT at that time was not able to achieve. However, successful marketing of the technique indeed was much later, and certainly a consequence of the publication of “A new volumetric CT machine for dental imaging based on the cone-beam technique: preliminary results” by Mozz…
AB0996 Rheumathologic Diseases in Adolescence: Psychological Profile of a Difficult Age
2015
Background Chronic disease significantly interfere with the quality of life at every age, expecially in a period of life characterized by the need to assume a role in the society and the research of a specific identity. The personal image is often destroyed by the disease, the long term sequelae of pharmacological treatment. Adolescents are frequently obligated to quit many possibilities of experience with peers. Objectives We realized a plurispecialistic approach to adolescents with rheumatologic diseases, with the figures of neuropsychiatric, psychologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, to give an answer to the complex requests of these patients. Methods We evaluated 20 patients with…
Diseño y puesta a punto de un método cefalométrico en 3D para el estudio de la población ortodóncica
2011
Introducción: La introducción de la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) y su aplicación clínica a la imagen craneofacial tridimensional (3D) supone una herramienta diagnóstica esencial para el clínico. Objetivos: 1-Evaluar la reproducibilidad en la localización de puntos cefalométricos pertenecientes a tejidos duros del cráneo sobre imágenes escaneadas con un equipo CBCT 2-Comprobar si los valores de diferentes mediciones de las reconstrucciones 3D del CBCT se pueden comparar a las mediciones realizadas sobre imágenes 2D de la telerradiografía lateral de cráneo y comparar también si existen diferencias entre dos tipos diferentes de software de CBCT. 3-Diseñar un método cefalométri…
Toward a Dimensional Assessment of Externalizing Disorders in Children : Reliability and Validity of a Semi-Structured Parent Interview
2020
Objective: This study assesses the reliability and validity of the DSM-5-based, semi-structured Clinical Parent Interview for Externalizing Disorders in Children and Adolescents (ILF-EXTERNAL). Method: Participant data were drawn from the ongoing ESCAschool intervention study. The ILF-EXTERNAL was evaluated in a clinical sample of 474 children and adolescents (aged 6−12 years, 92 females) with symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). To obtain interrater reliability, the one-way random-effects, absolute agreement models of the intraclass correlation (ICC) for single ICC(1,1) and average measurements ICC(1,3) were computed between the interviewers and two independent rate…
