Assessing reading and online research comprehension: Do difficulties in attention and executive function matter?
2021
This study evaluated the relation between sixth graders' (N = 426) teacher-rated difficulties in attention and executive function (EF) and their comprehension skills. Reading comprehension was assessed with a multiple-choice task and online research and comprehension (ORC) with a problem-solving task. The analyses were controlled for gender, reading fluency and nonverbal reasoning. To investigate differences in students' performance between the tasks, comprehension skills in the multiple-choice task were also controlled for in the ORC task. Structural equation models showed that teacher-rated attention and EF difficulties were related to students' performance more in the problem-solving tas…
Botulinum Toxin A for Oral Cavity Cancer Patients: In Microsurgical Patients BTX Injections in Major Salivary Glands Temporarily Reduce Salivary Prod…
2012
Abstract: In patients suffering from oral cavity cancer surgical treatment is complex because it is necessary to remove carcinoma and lymph node metastasis (through a radical unilateral or bilateral neck dissection) and to reconstruct the affected area by means of free flaps. The saliva stagnation in the post-operative period is a risk factor with regard to local complications. Minor complications related to saliva stagnation (such as tissue maceration and wound dehiscence) could become major complications compromising the surgery or the reconstructive outcome. In fact the formation of oro-cutaneous fistula may cause infection, failure of the free flap, or the patient’s death with carotid b…

UV filters: From sunscreens to human body and the environment
2007
Recognition of the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin has triggered development of organic chemicals (commonly referred as UV filters) that can absorb UV radiation and attenuate the negative effects of sunlight exposure. Depending on the properties and the intended degree of protection, a wide array of combinations is being marketed as delivering protection against most kinds of UV-induced skin damage. However, some UV filters have dermatological implications, so maximum applicable concentrations have been established. To monitor to what extent commercial products comply with the mandatory limits, several analytical methods have been used for their determination in co…
Estudio del efecto del paclitaxel en las propiedades físicas, biomecánicas y fisiológicas del tejido cutáneo en pacientes oncológicos y en cultivos d…
2020
La toxicidad en la piel es uno de los efectos perjudiciales más comunes de los taxanos. El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto del fármaco paclitaxel sobre la piel en un grupo de pacientes con cáncer ginecológico, y en un modelo 3D in vitro de piel, así como en melanocitos, queratinocitos, fibroblastos y en células microvasculares dérmicas humanas. En el estudio in vivo se realizaron las medidas en una población control de mujeres sanas (n=20) y una población de pacientes con tumores ginecológicos en tratamiento con paclitaxel (n=20), antes, durante y después. Las diferentes determinaciones fueron el valor de hidratación, la TEWL, el valor de sebo, valores de pigmentación y eritema, valores de e…
NMDA receptor antagonists and pain relief: A meta-analysis of experimental trials
2019
ObjectiveWe conducted a meta-analysis of controlled trials that used experimental models of acute pain and hyperalgesia to examine the analgesic effects of NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonists.MethodsSix major databases were systematically searched (to March 2018) for studies using human evoked pain models to compare NMDAR antagonists with no-intervention controls. Pain outcome data were analyzed with random-effects meta-analysis.ResultsSearches identified 70 eligible trials (n = 1,069). Meta-analysis found that low-dose ketamine (<1 mg/kg) produced a decrease in hyperalgesic area (standardized mean difference 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34, 0.74, p < 0.001) and a 1.2-point decr…
La plaine de la Tille (Côte-d’Or, Bourgogne), du Néolithique à l’Antiquité. Étude pluridisciplinaire du remplissage de struc tures archéologiques en …
2013
National audience; À l’occasion des récentes fouilles archéologiques réalisées dans la plaine de la Tille, au sud-est de Dijon (Bourgogne), une approche luridisciplinaire croisant micromorphologie, palynologie et paléoparasitologie, a été mise en oeuvre. Son objet était d’exploiter au mieux les informations piégées dans le remplissage de structures creusées entre le Néolithique moyen et l’Antiquité, sachant que ces structures constituentsouvent les seuls vestiges de ces occupations passées. Les premiers résultats de cette approche permettent de discuter différents points touchant aux modalités d’occupation et à la dynamique environnementale.
Gender differences in the battle against COVID‐19: Impact of genetics, comorbidities, inflammation and lifestyle on differences in outcomes
2020
Abstract It has been over six months now since the entire globe was struck by the new Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19; aka severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS‐CoV‐2]), which has affected 215 nations. The medical and scientific communities continue to search for and study potential treatments for COVID‐19 as well as an effective vaccine. As of 21 June 2020, 11.4 million cases have been confirmed worldwide, with approximately 530,000 deaths. A large number of scientific papers have been produced, hundreds of thousands of patients have been hospitalized and studied, several treatments and vaccines are being tested in randomized clinical trials, social distancing regulation…
