Selective RAR agonists for acne vulgaris: A narrative review.
2019
Background Acne vulgaris is a chronic disfiguring inflammatory disease of adolescents and adults affecting up to 90% of the population around the world. The sequence of etiopathogenesis in acne is not completely understood but involves abnormalities in sebum production, follicular plugging, proliferation of propionibacterium acnes, and chronic inflammation. Aims This review aims to summarize the features of the topical selective RAR agonists in treating acne vulgaris with a special emphasis on the 4th generation topical retinoid trifarotene. Methods Studies were identified by searching electronic databases (MEDLINE and PubMed) till August 2019 and reference lists of respective articles. Onl…
Ibandronic acid subsequent to raloxifene: Effect on bone metabolism and on cardiovascular risk factors
2015
s / Maturitas 81 (2015) 144–190 161 Materials andmethods: This randomized double-blind clinical trialwas carried out inAhvaz (Iran) fromAugust toDecember 2010. Forty postmenopausal women with symptoms of vaginal atrophy were randomly allocated to two groups to take vaginal suppositories of either 5mg hyaluronic acid sodium salt (n=20) or 1mg vitamin E (n=20) for 8 weeks. The symptoms of vaginal atrophy were evaluated by a self-assessed 4-point scale and the composite score was determined as none, mild, moderate, and severe in four periods. Results: The results showed that the symptoms were relieved significantly in both groups (P<0.001). The relief of symptomswas significantly superior in t…
Hepatitis C virus infection in hemodialyzed patients.
2007
In spite of our present improved knowledge of the epidemiology and pathways of contamination of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), infection still remains a public health problem. One category of patients who have suffered greatly from the consequences of HCV infection is certainly that of hemodialysis patients. In the past, in fact, their need for transfusions exposed these patients to infection and, as a result, subjects on dialysis for over 15 years are today paying the price for those inevitable transfusions, as the virus and its pathways of contagion were unknown then. However, still today, albeit at a much lower prevalence, even subjects with a shorter dialysis age present a higher prevalen…
Erythritol-enriched powder and oral biofilm regrowth on dental implants: an in vitro study.
2021
Background Peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are the main biological complications associated with dental implants. Since most authors agree that bacteria play a major etiological role, the main aims of this study were to determine if a formulation of erythritol and chlorhexidine applied with an air polishing system inhibits biofilm regrowth over dental implants and to compare the decontamination capacity of this therapy with that of mechanical removal by saline and gauze. Material and Methods A multispecies biofilm (P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, A. naeslundii, V. parvula and S. oralis) was grown for 14 days on 52 dental implants in an artificial mouth. Th…
Microbial Leakage at the Implant-Abutment Connection Due to Implant Insertion Maneuvers: Cross-Sectional Study 5 Years Postloading in Healthy Patient…
2015
The aim of this study was to test if stress on the prosthetic connection during insertion maneuvers can induce micro-warping at the implant connection. From September 2011 to July 2013, patients with implants loaded for at least 5 years that were placed with 2 different insertion implant mounters—MP (conventional) and ME (mountless)—were selected from all of those who had received dental implant therapy in the past and were attending routine check-up or spontaneous visits during the study period. Samples were obtained from inside the connection and the abutment surface using absorbent sterile paper tips. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed for total bacterial coun…
Hydrolytic enzyme activity of Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 and effects of the antagonistic bacterium on cell integrity of two soil-borne pathogenic fu…
2000
Paenibacillus sp. strain B2, isolated from the mycorrhizosphere of Sorghum bicolor and having an antagonistic activity towards soil-borne fungal pathogens, possessed extracellular cellulolytic, proteolytic, chitinolytic and pectinolytic enzyme activities. The eventual role of these lytic enzymes in cellular interactions between Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 and Phytophthora parasitica and Fusariumoxysporum was investigated by electron microscopy and molecular cytology. Electron microscopic observations showed that the presence of Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 resulted in disorganisation of cell walls and/or cell contents of P. parasitica and F. oxysporum. However, when P. parasitica was treated…
LA PERCEZIONE DEL BARBARICUM. LIBANIO E LA REALTÀ EXTRA ANTIOCHENA
2015
This paper aims at exploring both the city of Antioch in the 4th century ad as a transit city, thus a melting-pot of cultures, and Libanius the rhetor: but they will be considered with regard to the extra- Antiochian context. Between the lines of Libanius’speeches emerges the primary function of the Empire, that is to say the defence of the polis – a perfect microcosm – against barbarian hordes, observed according to classical stereotypes. Much has already written about Libanius’ image deformation of barbaric peoples, influenced by literary tradition: nevertheless, a careful analysis of his works will show some ability to place them in the wake of Libanius’ coeval climate, especially when t…

Free Will and Moral Judgements
2020
Šī pētījuma mērķis bija uzzināt, kādi ir iespējamie faktori, kas ietekmē attiecības starp cilvēku ticību brīvajai gribai un morālajiem spriedumiem. Tika atklāti vairāki pētījumi, kas uzrāda dažādus rezultātus šīm attiecībām, daudzi pētījumi liecina par pozitīviem efektiem, bet ir arī pētījumi, kas liek šīs attiecības apšaubīt. Man radās aizdomas, ka atšķirīgos efektus var radīt tas, kādā kontekstā determinisms tiek apstrādāts cilvēku prātos, jeb tā integrācijas aspekts. Pētījuma empīriskajā daļā tika nolemts veikt salīdzinājumu starp 3 grupām, kurām katrai tika izveidots unikāls determinisma praimings – fatālistiskais (jeb tāds, kurš noliedz izvēles iespējas), zinātniskais (realitāti ir det…
