Have the constitutions of the new latin american constitutionalism succeeded?
2018
Resumen Desde la decada de los noventa del siglo pasado, America Latina esta experimentando un ciclo de procesos constituyentes democraticos que suele conocerse en la doctrina como nuevo constitucionalismo. Decadas despues de su aprobacion, cabe analizar criticamente los efectos de esta corriente que buscaba mejorar la situacion social, democratizar la politica y transformar el Estado. El presente articulo de investigacion se plantea cuatro preguntas: 1. ?Las Constituciones han servido para mejorar las condiciones de bienestar de los ciudadanos?; 2. ?Se ha podido limitar el poder de los organos constituidos?; 3. ?Ha disminuido la desigualdad y la pobreza?; 4. ?Ha mejorado la situacion de lo…
Brain erythropoietin fine-tunes a counterbalance between neurodifferentiation and microglia in the adult hippocampus
2021
In adult cornu ammonis hippocampi, erythropoietin (EPO) expression drives the differentiation of new neurons,independent of DNA synthesis, and increases dendritic spine density. This substantial brain hardwareupgrade is part of a regulatory circle: during motor-cognitive challenge, neurons experience ‘‘functional’’hypoxia, triggering neuronal EPO production, which in turn promotes improved performance. Here, weshow an unexpected involvement of resident microglia. During EPO upregulation and stimulated neurodifferentiation,either by functional or inspiratory hypoxia, microglia numbers decrease. Treating mice with recombinanthuman (rh)EPO or exposure to hypoxia recapitulates these changes and…
Streamwater responses to reduced nitrogen deposition at four small upland catchments in Norway
2020
AbstractReduced emissions of nitrogen (N) in Europe have resulted in decreasing atmospheric deposition since 1990. Long-term data (1988–2017) from four small Norwegian catchments located along gradients in N deposition, rainfall, and organic carbon (C) show different responses to 25–30% reductions in N deposition during the same period. At three sites the decreased N deposition caused reduced leaching of nitrate to surface water, whereas the westernmost site showed no decrease, probably due to thin soils with low C:N ratio, poor vegetation cover and high precipitation. The loss of total N to streamwater constituted 30–50% of the N deposition. Losses via denitrification are unknown but assum…
Osseous oral hyaline ring granuloma mimicking a mandible tumor in a child with congenital agenesis of the corpus callosum
2017
Background Hyaline ring granuloma (HRG) of the oral cavity is an uncommon disorder considered to be a foreign-body reaction resulting from implantation of food vegetable particles. Microscopically, it is characterized by the presence of structures of hyaline rings in an inflamed fibrous tissue background, which contains multinucleated giant cells. Material and methods We present the case of a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with a mandible osseous HRG, which showed clinical and tomographic aspects suggestive of an aggressive bone tumor. Results The patient underwent surgical exploration and histopathologic analysis showed fragments composed predominantly of widespread dense connective tissue with …
In vitro retentive strength of zirconium oxide ceramic crowns using different luting agents
2005
Statement of problem In contrast to gold crowns, in vitro determination of the retentive strength of all-ceramic crowns is more difficult because components allowing connection to testing apparatus are not as easily integrated into the all-ceramic material. Nevertheless, retentive strength data are crucial for obtaining information about the potential clinical performance of luting cements for all-ceramic restorations. Therefore, a new in vitro model was necessary to evaluate the retentive strength of all-ceramic crowns. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the retentive strength of 4 resin-cement systems, a compomer, a glass-ionomer cement, a resin-modified glass-ion…
What can we do with a dental avulsion? A multidisciplinary Clinical Protocol
2020
Purpose The aim of this case report was to explain a multidisciplinary and conservative approach carrying out the replantation of an avulsed closed apex central incisor stored in dry conditions for a 16-hour period from the moment of trauma. Case report This report describes a case of a 28 year-old male who suffered contusion of the upper lip, avulsion of right upper central incisor, enamel cracks after trauma of left upper central incisor and upper left lateral incisor crown fracture due to an accident. Avulsed tooth was dry stored and it was replanted 16h after the trauma. The root was disinfected and the necrotic periodontal tissue removed, the endodontic treatment was done before replan…
Primordial odontogenic tumor with prominent calcifications: a rare case report
2019
Primordial odontogenic tumor (POT) is a rare odontogenic tumor. It is a new entity in the latest edition of the World Health Organization classification in 2017. In the English-language literature, only 14 cases have been documented. Most POTs show a well-defined unilocular radiolucency surrounding a crown of an unerupted molar, resembling a dentigerous cyst. Microscopically, POT may be difficult to distinguish from odontogenic myxoma, ameloblastic fibroma, hyperplastic dental follicle and dental papilla. Here, we reported a case of POT in a 17-year old female presenting with an asymptomatic bony hard swelling at the left posterior mandible. Interestingly, this case shows unique radiographi…
Removal of a migrated dental implant from a maxillary sinus through an intraoral approach: A case report
2021
Background The replacement of maxillary posterior teeth often challenges the clinician due to bone resorption after dental exodontia and low bone quality. Currently, attempts are being made to shorten treatment times by placing implants simultaneously to sinus lift procedures in borderline cases, which can lead to complications such as displacement of implants into the maxillary sinus. Clinical case A 54-year-old patient who was planned for complete rehabilitation of the maxilla through a fixed implant-supported prosthesis on 6 implants. At the level of the 3rd sextant, a sinus lift was performed with a lateral window approach (Caldwell-Luc type) and the simultaneous placement of two implan…
Severe odontogenic infection: An emergency. Case report
2017
Odontogenic infections (OI) are a major reason for consultation in dental practice. They affect people of all ages, and most of them respond well to current medical and surgical treatments. However, some OI can spread to vital and deep structures, overcome the host immune system - especially in diabetic, immunocompromised or weakened patients - and even prove fatal. Ludwig's angina is a severe form of diffuse cellulitis that can have an acute onset and spread very rapidly, bilaterally affecting areas of the head and neck, and may prove life threatening. A case of severe dental infection is presented in which emphasis is placed on the importance of airway maintenance, followed by surgical de…
Three steps to maintain predictable interdental papilla and gingiva emergence profiles in immediate implant placement. A 3-year follow-up case report
2018
We present a case that describes a three-step clinical technique to provide guidelines to replace fractured teeth with immediate implant placement using the same dental structure as a temporary crown and a regenerative approach. This approach predictably maintains the interdental papilla and gingiva emergence profile to ensure a favorable cosmetic result. A 3-year follow-up has shown good clinical outcomes and stability in crestal bone levels. Consequently, this is an innovative way to do temporary crown and design restorations in everyday clinical practice. Key words:Interdental papilla, dental implant, inmmediate implant, gingival aesthetics, dental aesthetics.
