Lichen Planus: A Muco-Cutaneous, Nails and Scalp Disorder – Cases Report
2019
Abstract Lichen planus is an autoimmune, itching disorder that involves T lymphocytes, which may interest the skin, mucous membranes and exoskeletons. The presence of lichen manifestations both at the skin, mucous membranes and at the level of the skin attachments (hair and nails) is rarely mentioned in the literature. Although lichen planus may have a self-limiting evolution, early treatment is important in shortening the evolution of the disease and in controlling the symptoms. The therapeutic effects of retinoids (immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative effects) make them an appropriate choice in the treatment of lichen with (cutaneous-mucosal, nail and planopilaris lesio…

Impact of Narrow Band Imaging in Pre-Operative Assessment of Suspicious Oral Cavity Lesions: A Systematic Review
2021
Introduction: Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a powerful tool that allows visualizing the mucosal and submucosal vasculature. Among the available diagnostic techniques, NBI is one of the most valid for early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Methods: We carried out a bibliographic search in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases using relevant keywords. Articles selected were screened by two independent authors based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Nine papers were singled out according to the eligibility criteria and included in this review. We investigated the articles for pooled sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negativ…
Associations between Mental Well-being and Personality from a Llife Span Perspective
2015
The associations between personality traits and mental well-being are analyzed using data from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (initial N = 369; 53% males). At ages 33/36 to 50, the NEO-PI and Scales of Psychological and Social Well-Being as well as indicators of emotional well-being were administered. At ages 8 and 14, socioemotional behaviors were assessed by teachers. First, both genders show high relative continuity in the Big Five personality traits and mental well-being during mid-adulthood. Second, the developmental course of neuroticism and extraversion during mid-adulthood is similar to that of psychological well-being: over 80% of the partici…
Treatment of oral lichen planus with photodynamic therapy mediated methylene blue: a case report.
2006
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic disease of uncertain origin. Many patients with OLP are refractory to all available therapies. The photodynamic therapy (PDT) was used as a possible alternative method in the treatment of lichen planus. Two patients with five oral lichen planus lesions were treated using topical PDT mediated by methylene blue (MB-PDT). The patients were followed up on sessions 3, 7, 15 days and 1 to 9 months after PDT. Clinical improvement was achieved in four lesions. Two lesions showed complete remission, and another two lesions had about 50% clinically improvement 3-9 months after a single session of PDT. No response detected in one lesion. MB-PDT blue seems t…
Inflammatory response elements, glycan, and proteome profiles as salivary biomarkers for the early diagnosis of OSCC
2021
El cáncer oral, sobre todo el, carcinoma oral de células escamosas (COCE), es la neoplasia maligna más común en la cavidad oral que se caracteriza por un mal pronóstico y una baja tasa de supervivencia, cuando se diagnostica en estadios avanzados. Puede ser tratado de forma efectiva si se detecta en estadios iniciales, mejorando el pronóstico. Por tanto, tras la prevención, el diagnóstico precoz se ha convertido en el principal objetivo en el manejo del cáncer oral, dado su impacto positivo en la supervivencia y calidad de vida de estos pacientes. A menudo, los escasos síntomas iniciales pasan desapercibidos y la enfermedad se descubre en fases avanzadas, por lo que se requiere mejorar el d…

Cornelia de Lange syndrome: A case report
2007
Cornelia de Lange is a genetic syndrome which affects between 1/10.000 and 1/60.000 neonates, but its genetic bases are still not clear. Its principal clinical characteristics are the delay in growth and development, hirsute, structural anomalies in the limbs and distinctive facial characteristic. Dental problems are frequent and include: ogival palate, micrognathia, dental malalignment, delayed teething, microdontic teeth, periodontal disease and dental erosion produced by gastric reflux. Discussed is the case of a 29 year old patient affected by the syndrome in question, which presents the principal clinical characteristics. The patient?s general state of health is acceptable, without car…
