Melanoma of the oral mucosa with cerebral metastasis: a clinical case
2005
Summary Oral melanoma (OM) is an infrequent neoplasia making up less than 1% of all melanomas, and which exhibits a much more aggressive behaviour than those found on the skin. We present a case of OM located on the hard palate, vestibular alveolar gingiva of the maxilla, and upper lip in a 75-year-old patient who developed a distant metastasis on the left parietal lobe. The advanced stage of the disease contraindicated any surgical intervention and it was decided to carry out palliative radiotherapy, but the patient died before treatment.
Pityriasis rosea Gibert triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection: A case report.

Viridans streptococcal infective endocarditis associated with fixed orthodontic appliance managed surgically by mitral valve plasty
2018
Abstract Rationale: Streptococcus viridans, a heterogeneous group of alpha-hemolytic streptococci, is part of the normal flora of the mouth, usually responsible for dental caries (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis), and pericoronitis, as well as for subacute infective endocarditis. They are responsible for 40-60% of the endocarditis cases occurring on the normal valves, especially in male patients and over 45 years of age. A change in the bacterial flora of the oral cavity is taking part after orthodontic fixed appliances are introduced into the oral cavity, change that is associated with an increased concentration of the acidogenic bacteria. Bacteraemia is the consequence of or…

Sobre alguns participis actius amb verbs de moviment
2021
L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és analitzar les estructures formades a partir de la combinació d’un participi amb un verb de moviment, en casos com venir plorat de casa. L’interès d’aquestes dades rau en el fet que els participis que descrivim no són actius (plorat, tossit), però adquireixen una lectura activa en combinar-se amb verbs de desplaçament (venir, sortir, arribar). Al llarg de l’article recopilem i descrivim les dades que segueixen aquesta configuració i mirem d’esbossar alguns apunts per a una possible anàlisi formal. D’una banda, seguint la proposta d’Armstrong (2017), defensem que verbs com plorar o tossir permeten la formació d’un participi actiu resultatiu perquè tenen un object…
