Improving accuracy of the intermediate splint in substantial intermaxillary sagittal discrepancies using an extra anterior anchorage point: technical…

2021

Background To describe a technical feature that increases the stability of the intermediate splint in patients where bimaxillary surgery with great maxillary/mandibular advancements are planned. Material and Methods Prospective evaluation of the intermediate splint dental vertical penetration in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery where great sagittal discrepancy occur in the anterior sector between the upper and lower jaws when the intermediate splint is placed by adding an extra intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screw (2x9 mm) placed between the central incisors of the maxilla and fixed to the most anterior aspect of the intermediate splint following the direction of the sagittal maxillo-…

LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACT: MUC1 downregulation induces corticosteroid resistance in asthma'sin vitroandin vivomodels

2016

Background: Corticosteroids are in the first-line of Asthma treatment. However a subset of asthmatic patients is insensitive to anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids. Our previous data demonstrated that MUC1 downregulation correlates corticosteroid resistance in Nasal Polyposis and COPD. We hypothesized that MUC1 is also involved in corticosteroid resistance in Asthma. Objective: To analyze the role of MUC1 in the corticosteroid effectiveness in Asthma9s in vitro and in vivo models. Methods: 20 patients with steroid resistant Asthma were recruited. The expression of MUC1 was determined by real-time PCR in inflammatory cells from peripheral blood. HMVEC-L and U937 cells knockdown with…

With advancing age, thymic efficiency shows progressive decline due to thymic involution allowing impaired cell-mediated immunity and the appearance of age-related diseases. The intrinsic cause of thymic involution is still undefined. Chronic inflammation and high glucocorticoids (GCs) may be involved. However, transgenic mice, with increased GC sensitivity and over expression of GC receptors, display delayed age-associated thymic involution. This fact suggests that other substances may affect thymic involution. Among them, both isoforms of metallothioneins (MTs) I+II and III are the major candidates because their increments leads to organ atrophy in constant stress and are induced by IL-6,…

Análisis coste-utilidad de la triple terapia con telaprevir en pacientes con hepatitis C no tratados previamente

2014

Introducción: En España, con una prevalencia del 2,5%, la hepatitis C (VHC) se asocia a una elevada morbi-mortalidad. El tratamiento combinado de telaprevir y peginterferon/ribavirina ([T/PR]) es eficaz en pacientes con VHC-G1. El objetivo primario de este estudio fue evaluar la relación coste-utilidad (RCUI) de [T/PR] versus peginterferon alfa 2a/ribavirina ([PR]) en pacientes naïve VHC-G1, según el grado de fibrosis y bajo la perspectiva del sistema sanitario español. Metodología: La eficacia y la incidencia de efectos adversos (EAs) se obtuvieron de los estudios ADVANCE y OPTIMIZE. La estimación de los costes de monitorización, de manejo de EAs y de la enfermedad por estados de salud (€,…

Management and research on plastic debris in Uruguayan Aquatic Systems: update and perspectives

2015

Synthetic plastics have become an indispensable component of modern life, and the amount of plastics disposal has increased dramatically as a result. With human population increasing, it is expected that the prevalence of plastic debris in the environment will also increase, unless sustainable daily habits are incorporated, waste management improved, and new alternative materials are discovered and popularized. To date, several reports show negative effects of plastic debris on marine and freshwater fauna (e.g. invertebrates, birds, turtles, marine mammals). Plastic are ubiquitous in the water column, deposited in fine sediments and enter the guts, respiratory structures and tissues of diff…

Challenging management of gingival squamous cell carcinoma: a 10 years single-center retrospective study on Northern-Italian patients.

2020

Background Aim of this study was to describe the outcome of patients with gingival squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC), and to recognize aspects affecting clinical course and to consider survival rate. Material and Methods The case records of patients, over a 10-year period, were retrospectively examined. Differences in distribution of the potential risk factors by prognosis were investigated through non-parametrical tests (Wilcoxon Rank-Sum and Fisher’s Exact). Survival curves for age, therapy and stage were built by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with Log-Rank test. Results 79 patients were analysed. Significant increase in mortality for patients older than 77 and for those with advanced…

Patient outcomes in two steroid-free regimens using tacrolimus monotherapy after daclizumab induction and tacrolimus with mycophenolate mofetil in li…

2008

Introduction. Long-term steroid administration may predispose liver transplant recipients to infectious and metabolic complication. Maintaining effective immunoprophylaxis while minimizing the negative consequences of steroid therapy could be a key factor in improving clinical outcomes.Methods. Six hundred two patients were randomized to receive tacrolimus (TAC) immunosuppression with a single-steroid bolus and two doses of daclizumab (DAC) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).Results. The incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection was 19.7% in the TAC/DAC group and 16.2% in the TAC/ MMF group (ns). Three-month patient and graft survival were similar. Steroid use at month-3 was low at 5.5% in the…
