Cone-beam computed tomography analysis of root and canal morphology of mandibular premolars in a Spanish population
2014
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical anatomy of lower premolar roots in a Spanish population by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), correlating findings with patient gender and tooth type. Materials and Methods: Using 70 CBCT images, we evaluated 126 healthy, untreated, well-developed lower premolars. The number and morphology of roots and root canals, and the foramina number were assessed. Results for gender and tooth type were compared using the chi-squared and ANOVA tests. Results: The average length of teeth and roots was significantly higher in men (p=0.00). All 126 premolars had a single root. One canal was found in 83.3% of the premolars, with no gender or to…
Congenital mitral regurgitation caused by a perforation in the anterior leaflet: Perioperative evaluation by color-coded Doppler echocardiography
1990
Color-coded two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography confirmed the presence of severe congenital mitral regurgitation in an 8-month-old infant. Intraoperative inspection revealed an isolated perforation in the anterior leaflet.
Tradition and modernity: new sound proposals from the music schools of the federation of musical societies of the valencian community
2019
Background: The Federation of Musical Societies of the Valencian Community (FSMCV) is a democratic association created 50 years ago, which represents and supports the 550 associations that make it up, with the aim of promoting, disseminating and teaching music. It promotes associationism and provides society with a way of developing cultural articulation, mainly developing its activities within the Valencian Community, although its national and international activity is very remarkable. Methodology: This article based on a prospective study using a qualitative methodology analyzes one of the proposals made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the FSMCV through the use and application of t…
Effects of continuous and rotational grazing of different forage species on ewe milk production
2012
Abstract The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of continuous and rotational grazing of different forage species on milk production in ewes. The forage species were chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), a mixture of oat (Avena sativa L.) and berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), and sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.). Forty ewes were divided into 5 groups, and subjected to one of the following treatments: continuous grazing on chicory, continuous grazing on the mixture, continuous grazing on sulla, rotational grazing on the mixture, or rotational grazing on sulla. Among the species continuously grazed, chicory showed a lower biomass than the mixture, or sulla. Ewes grazing chicor…
La metafora della guerra e il coronavirus. Osservazioni sulla carriera della metafora.
2021
Il dibattito pubblico sul coronavirus è stato caratterizzato dall’uso pervasivo della metafora della guerra. Fin dall’inizio la concettualizzazione della pandemia nei termini di guerra è stata tematizzata da giornalisti e linguisti che nehanno messo in luce i limiti. In questo articolo tematizzerò questo dibattito,discutendo l’appropriatezza della metafora bellica per concettualizzare lapandemia. Sosterrò, rifacendomi a Dedre Gentner che si tratta di una metafora che funziona finché restainconsapevole e, pertanto, la massiccia operazione di tematizzazione, porta inevitabilmente ad una perdita dei suoi egfetti perlocutivi.
La perforazione in peritoneo libero nella malattia di Crohn
2004
Free perforation in abdominal cavity in patients with Crohn's disease is a rare entity as attested from the data reported in the literature. It is a very dangerous event and requires a surgical urgency management. The Authors reported two cases of free perforation, in patients with Crohn' disease, undergoing surgical operation in urgency. Analyzing pathogenesis, difficulty in diagnosis making and therapeutic choices, they underline that CT is very useful in the diagnosis, while resection of the perforated intestinal tract represent the best surgical treatment.
Large retroperitoneal abscess extended to the inferior right limb secondary to a perforated ileal Crohn’s disease: the importance of the multidiscipl…
2016
The typical complications of Crohn's disease concerns small and large bowel. The full thickness inflammation of the intestinal wall develops in strictures, fistulas and abdominal abscesses. Nowadays the most accepted therapeutic for intra-abdominal abscess option is antibiotic therapy and, in case of need, percutaneous drainage of the abscess. If the abscess passes through the pelvic foramen the abscess can involve the inferior limbs. We report a case a perforation of terminal ileum in Crohn's disease complicated by a large abscess of the right iliac fossa reaching the spaces between the anterior lateral muscles of the right thigh as far as the anterior lateral pre-tibial region. We discuss…
Applied Chemical Ecology to Enhance Insect Parasitoid Efficacy in the Biological Control of Crop Pests
2018
The field application of semiochemicals, used by parasitoids to find mates and to locate their hosts, is a promising environmentally sustainable and highly specific pest control strategy and an attractive alternative to the use of pesticides. In this chapter, we first examine research progress dealing with the effect of semiochemical cues on parasitoid foraging strategy. In the second part, we review the possible field applications of these chemical cues to enhance pest control strategies, either through direct pest control or by manipulating parasitoid behaviour. We then consider novel approaches, such as the “attract and reward” strategy, combining semiochemical application and habitat ma…
Borges y Escher: el laberinto Barroco y las paradojas de la percepción del neo-Barroco
2016
En los laberintos barrocos se consuma el placer perverso de la complejidad artificiosa, el gusto por una arquitectura virtual que metaforice las infinitas trayectorias de un universo inextricable. Uno de los signos tangibles de la crisis neobarocca que aparece en la poética de Borges se puede encontrar sin lugar a dudas en la presencia de las metáforas geométricas del laberinto. También Escher, a través de sus representaciones gráficas del inestable equilibrio que existe entre ilusión y desilusión, entre descifración y duda ontológica, entre figuras posibles e imposibles, termina por inscribirse plenamente en el ámbito de la crisis neobarroca.
Las tecnologías de reproducción asistida y sus metáforas
2005
The enormous development -in both research and application- of assisted reproduction technologies has been accompanied by a lack of theoretical reflection on its power of change: the concept and treatment of the body, the concept of paternity or motherhood, etc.The metaphorical analysis allows us to deconstruct both dominant discourses: patriarchal and reductionist biomedical. We propose a transdisciplinary analysis which explains the interactions between the diverse discourses: biomedical, mass media, legal, symbolicpsycho-social, gender, historic- which make up the supply as well as the creation of demand of all these practices. The transdisciplinary analysis would help to reveal the biom…
