Use of DIAGNOdent and VistaProof in diagnostic of Pre-Cavitated Caries Lesions—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

2019

Objective: To analyse the published evidence of the validity of DIAGNDOdent and VistaProof in diagnosing carious depths in pre-cavitated lesions. Material and methods: A systematic review was carried out after identifying a total of 184 articles, including 27 concerning the qualitative review and a subsequent meta-analysis. The quality of the studies was evaluated by using the QUADAS-2 tool. Results: For DIAGNOdent, the sensitivity value was 0.77, the specificity value was 0.75 and AUC was 0.81 for the global meta-analyses. In relation to subgroups, the values estimated 0.85, 0.76 and 0.86, respectively, for the in vivo group and 0.71, 0.75 and 0.83 for the in vitro group. For VistaProof, s…

Prognostic Impact of let-7e MicroRNA and Its Target Genes in Localized High-Risk Intestinal GIST: A Spanish Group for Research on Sarcoma (GEIS) Study

2020

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, and they have been described as being associated with tumor prognosis. Here, miRNA profiling was planned to explore new molecular prognostic biomarkers in localized intestinal high-risk GIST. Paraffin tumor blocks of 14 and 86 patients were used in the discovery and expansion sets, respectively. GeneChip miRNA v3.0 was employed to identify the miRNAs differentially expressed between relapsed and non-relapsed patient samples, which were validated in the expansion set, by qRT-PCR. RT2 Profiler PCR Array was used for the screening of let-7e targets. Expression levels were co…

Diagnóstico diferencial inmunomorfológico de las lesiones quísticas maxilares con queratinización

2011

ResumenObjetivosLos quistes maxilares con queratinización son formas lesionales de carácter controvertido y de relevancia clínica, dada la implicación clínico-evolutiva del llamado tumor odontogénico queratoquístico (TOQ). En el presente estudio nos planteamos valorar la utilidad de las técnicas inmunohistoquímicas en la identificación de estas lesiones.Material y métodosSe analizan de forma retrospectiva las lesiones quísticas maxilares dotadas de fenómenos de queratinización interna, diagnosticadas en un mismo centro hospitalario, a lo largo de un periodo de 4 años, realizando un estudio inmunohistoquímico mediante la aplicación de un panel de cinco anticuerpos (Ki67, Bcl-2, p53, CK19, D2…

Evaluación por rúbricas de la Composición Escrita en 2º ciclo de Educación Primaria

2015

Evaluación por rúbricas de la Composición Escrita en 2º ciclo de Educación Primaria. Resumen El objetivo de este estudio de tesis doctoral es elaborar y validar un sistema de rúbricas como instrumento de evaluación e información de los procesos docentes, permitiendo la medición de aprendizajes complejos; en concreto, la habilidad para componer textos escritos, cuando aún no está consolidada esta subcompetencia; es decir, durante su proceso de adquisición. El nivel educativo seleccionado para la obtención de las muestras de producción escrita es 2º Ciclo de Educación Primaria, con alumnos entre los 8 y 10 años. Y la cuestión es ¿evalúa la rúbrica construida lo que intenta medir? Para ello, s…

Evaluation of the primary stability in dental implants placed in low density bone with a new drilling technique, osseodensification: an in vitro study

2020

Background Primary stability is an important key determinant of implant osseointegration. We investigated approaches to improve primary implant stability using a new drilling technique termed osseodensification (OD), which was compared with the conventional under-drilling (UD) method utilized for low-density bones. Material and Methods We placed 55 conical internal connection implants in each group, in 30 low-density sections of pig tibia. The implants were placed using twist drill bits in both groups; groups Under Drilling (UD) and Osseodensification (OD) included bone sections subjected to conventional UD and OD drilling, respectively. Before placing the implants, we randomized the bone s…

Warum ist Pränataldiagnostik in der Diskussion? Eine Einführung

2017

Prenatal diagnosis has been a subject of intense discussion since it became technically achievable. This is because the results it provides can dramatically change the attitude of mothers towards their unborn children, and can lead to considerable social pressure to abort the child. These undesirable effects might come as a surprise, given that prenatal testing was primarily intended to allow better care for infants waiting to be born. The possible risks of invasive procedures and the only statistical evidence of results are the factors most responsible for the ambivalent attitudes that surround prenatal diagnosis. Another significant factor is the discrepancy between the general availabili…

Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Significance in Prenatal Diagnosis—Case Series

2022

The persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a congenital heart anomaly reported in 0.3–0.5% of the general population and can be associated with congenital heart diseases in up to 8% of cases. Prenatal identification of PLSVC is important to prompt an extended cardiac and extracardiac fetal examination. We retrospectively reevaluated anomaly scans performed in our unit in a 2-year interval according to the national guidelines to evaluate the incidence of PLSVC and its association with prenatal morbidity. In our population, the incidence of PLSVC was 0.31%, and we found a low association with cardiac and extracardiac anomalies. The standard sections (three-vessel and trachea view, four…

Study que Stion What are the long term trends in the total (live births, fetal deaths, and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomaly) and live birth prevalence of neural tube defects (NTD) in Europe, where many countries have issued recommendations for folic acid supplementation but a policy for mandatory folic acid fortification of food does not exist? Method S This was a population based, observational study using data on 11 353 cases of NTD not associated with chromosomal anomalies, including 4162 cases of anencephaly and 5776 cases of spina bifida from 28 EUROCAT (European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies) registries covering approximately 12.5 million births in 19 countries betwe…

Aneurysma des Ductus arteriosus Botalli

2000

A congenital aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus Botalli was detected by chest X-ray as an intrathoracic mass in a 7-day-old infant. Following confirmation of the diagnosis by echocardiography and MRI the aneurysm was successfully resected via left lateral thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful. Six years after operation the patient is asymptomatic and growing normally. An intrathoracic mass may be considered in the differential diagnosis especially in infants and children. Aneurysms of ductus arteriosus potentially are associated with serious complications. Timely diagnosis and early surgical intervention are decisive for prevention of serious com…
