Francia : ¿instrumentalización de la COVID-19 contra la igualdad escolar?
2021
La pandemia de COVID-19 ha puesto a prueba los sistemas educativos. Este artículo trata del caso francés, en el que tuvo lugar un confinamiento de dos meses, seguido de una reanudación muy parcial y selectiva del curso antes del verano, que no llegó a funcionar de nuevo realmente hasta septiembre, en condiciones sin precedentes. Muestra que lejos de ser un paréntesis excepcional, la crisis sanitaria fue utilizada por el gobierno para tratar de imponer cambios estructurales. Estas conclusiones se derivan de un análisis de las lógicas que estaban previamente en marcha en los proyectos de reforma de la enseñanza francesa, lo que permite distinguir entre las respuestas puntuales a una situación…
Orofacial features and medical profile of eight individuals with Kabuki syndrome
2019
Background To evaluate oral, craniofacial and systemic characteristics of eight patients with Kabuki syndrome (KS), aged between 3 and 16 years old. Material and Methods In this retrospective study, medical records of all patients were reviewed for information on family history, growth and development, medications in use, general systemic complications and oral and craniofacial characteristics. Results The medical alterations found included recurrent infections such as pneumonia and otitis media (n = 6), cardiovascular malformations (n = 4), kidney abnormalities (n = 2), epilepsy (n = 2) and visual deficiency (n = 2). The individuals exhibited dental caries (n = 5), agenesis (n = 5), delaye…
Oral manifestations of Diabetes Mellitus. A systematic review
2017
Background: Diabetes Mellitus has become a global epidemic and presents many complications, usually proportional to the degree and duration of hyperglycemia. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the different oral manifestations associated with Diabetes Mellitus. Material and Methods: A MEDLINE search for “Diabetes Mellitus and oral manifestations” was performed. A further search was conducted for “diabetes” and its individual oral manifestation. Inclusion criteria were as follows: human clinical studies with a minimum of 30 patients; studies published in relevant scientific journals between January 1998 and January 2016. Nineteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and…
In vitro and in vivo investigations of osteogenic differentiation ability of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSC…
2020
Thanks to the use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), smart biomaterials and active biomolecules, Regenerative Medicine (RM) and Bone Tissue Engineering (BTE) can restore structure and function of injured tissues. Among the different sources of hMSCs, the oro-facial hMSCs have promising in vitro and in vivo regeneration potential; in particular, dental pulp and gingiva are valuable sources of autologous hMSCs. The aim of this PhD thesis is testing the in vitro and in vivo bone regeneration ability of hMSCs isolated from dental pulp and inflamed gingiva of periodontally-compromised teeth, up to now considered biological waste tissues and discarded during surgical procedures, on two comm…
Empowerment – a Double Edged Sword?
2015
The concept of empowerment is a democratic tool and a logical next step in the evolution of public administration. In this article we explore the possibility of this concept to be used as a tool of unconventional warfare under a certain set of conditions. The carried out case study of the recent events in Ukraine, Crimea allows to conclude that empowerment can indeed be used to compromise the territorial integrity of a sovereign country.
El sistema de prestaciones por hijo a cargo en España
2006
Child Benefit (prestaciones familiares por hijo a cargo) is the only monetary, regular and direct allowance to contribute bringing up children in Spain. Therefore, the Family Allowance System might be seen as a privileged watchtower where it is possible to observe complex and dynamic relationships between the family, the State and the market. Moreover, it shows its influence on the wellbeing and on the dynamics of inclusion or exclusion. This paper analyzes the Spanish economic allowance addressed to children and its evolution since its last reform in 1990. The main goal is to contribute to our understanding of the compromise level acquired by the Spanish State for familycare. This study tr…
Survival in Immunocompromised Patients Ultimately Requiring Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Pooled Individual Patient Data Analysis
2021
Rationale: Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is associated with high mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly when invasive mechanical ventilation is needed. Therefore, noninvasive oxygenation/ventilation strategies have been developed to avoid intubation, with uncertain impact on mortality, especially when intubation is delayed. Objectives: We sought to report trends of survival over time in immunocompromised patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. The impact of delayed intubation after failure of noninvasive strategies was also assessed. Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis using individual data (IPD) of studies which focused on immunocompromised adult patie…
Exploring Associations Between Respiratory Mechanics and Survival in Immunocompromised Patients With ARDS.
2020
Thanks to improvements in organ support strategies and to advances in the treatment of solid and hematological tumors, outcome of immunocompromised patients requiring ICU admission has improved impressively over the last decade . For this reason, the number of immunocompromised patients admitted to the ICU and deemed candidates for invasive therapies is steadily increasing. Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is the leading cause of hospital and ICU admission, but the optimal first-line reatment of respiratory failure in these patients remains to be determined
Diabetes mellitus tipo 1: breve revisión de los principales factores psicológicos asociados
2015
Resumen: La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) es una enfermedad crónica ampliamente extendida entre la población infantojuvenil. Suele suponer una sobrecarga significativa en el niño y su familia, modificando aspectos en su estilo de vida, necesarios para cumplimentar las exigencias del tratamiento.Nuestro objetivo es estudiar las principales características psicológicas, familiares y de ajuste a la enfermedad de los niños y adolescentes diagnosticados de DM1, haciendo especial hincapié en los factores psicopatológicos asociados.La metodología empleada ha consistido en una búsqueda bibliográfica sistemática en las principales bases de datos científicas.Debido al impacto biopsicosocial que la D…
Evaluation the oral hygiene conditions, oral Candida colonization and salivary Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli density in a group of β-thalasse…
2019
Background In this study, the prevalence and distribution of dental caries and oral hygiene conditions in a group of patients with β-TM are evaluated and the results compared to age-and gender-matched healthy patients. In addition, oral candida colonization and the density of Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans) and Lactobacilli in the total saliva are assessed. Material and Methods This study involved 59 β-TM patients between 6-16 years old (mean:11.59±3.22), who applied to the Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Akdeniz University, with ongoing follow-up, treatment and regular blood transfusions. All enrolled patients were diagnosed with β-TM by the Department of Pediatric Hematol…
