Relationship between caries, body mass index and social class in Spanish children
2017
Abstract Objective: To determine the association between caries, body mass index (BMI) and social class in child population of the Valencia region (Spain) at 6, 12 and 15 years, and study. Methods: In a cross sectional study of 1326 children aged 6 (n = 488), 12 (n = 409) and 15 years (n = 433) who took part in the 2010 Oral Health Survey of the Valencia region, the ICDAS II criteria were employed for diagnosing and coding all the teeth examined. The quantitative BMI values on a continuous scale were grouped into 3 categories (normal weight, overweight, obese) based on a table adjusted for age and gender. The highest-ranking occupation of the parents was taken to indicate the social class o…
Wie oft wird die Depersonalisations-Derealisationsstörung (ICD-10: F48.1) in der ambulanten Versorgung diagnostiziert?
2010
Zusammenfassung Fragestellung: Untersucht wird erstmalig, wie haufig die Depersonalisations-Derealisationsstorung (ICD-10: F48.1) in der Allgemeinbevolkerung unter Alltagsbedingungen diagnostiziert wird und mit welchen weiteren Krankheitsgruppen sie assoziiert ist. Methode: Die Untersuchungspopulation umfasst 1.567 Millionen Versicherte einer gesetzlichen Krankenkasse (Gmunder Ersatzkasse). Analysiert wird die Einjahrespravalenz der Diagnose F48.1 sowie deren Assoziation mit anderen ICD-10-Diagnosenschlusseln. Ergebnis: Es fand sich eine Einjahrespravalenz fur die Diagnose F48.1 von 0.007 %. Nach Adjustierung fur Alter, Geschlecht, Depression und Angst waren unter anderem folgende somatisch…
Consensus guidelines for the detection of immunogenic cell death
2014
Apoptotic cells have long been considered as intrinsically tolerogenic or unable to elicit immune responses specific for dead cell-associated antigens. However, multiple stimuli can trigger a functionally peculiar type of apoptotic demise that does not go unnoticed by the adaptive arm of the immune system, which we named "immunogenic cell death" (ICD). ICD is preceded or accompanied by the emission of a series of immunostimulatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in a precise spatiotemporal configuration. Several anticancer agents that have been successfully employed in the clinic for decades, including various chemotherapeutics and radiotherapy, can elicit ICD. Moreover, defect…
Cultural adaptation of the Smiling is Fun program for the treatment of depression in the Ecuadorian public health care system: A study protocol for a…
2021
Background Depression is one of the world's major health problems. Due to its high prevalence, it constitutes the first cause of disability among the Americas, where only a very low percentage of the population receives the adequate evidence-based psychological treatment. Internet-Based Interventions (IBIs) are a great alternative to reduce the treatment gap for mental disorders. Although there are several studies in low-and middle-income countries proving IBIs' feasibility and acceptability, there is still little evidence of the effectiveness in diverse social and cultural contexts such as Latin America. Methods Two studies will be described: Study 1 is focused on the cultural adaptation o…

Kariesa izplatība, kas novērtēta ar ICDAS II (starptautiskā kariesa noteikšanas un novērtēšanas sistēma), pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem Latvijā
2019
Ievads Zobu kariess ir plaši izplatīta multifaktoriāla slimība, kas ietekmē visu populāciju, tomēr pieejami maz datu par zobu kariesa prevalenci Latvijas populācijā. Šis šķērsgriezuma pētījums tika veikts 2018.gadā Rīgas apkaimē, lai novērtētu kariesa prevalenci pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem. Šī pilotpētījuma galvenie mērķi bija, pirmkārt, izpētīt kariesa prevalenci starp 2-6 gadus veciem bērniem Latvijas bērnudārzā, pielietojot ICDAS II; otrkārt, salīdzināt ICDAS II kritērijus ar DMF indeksu, lai izvērtētu kariesa prevalenci. Metodes Kopumā tika izmeklēti 176 Latvijas bērnudārza bērni vecumā no 2 līdz 6 gadiem. Zobu kariesu izvērtēja, lietojot ICDAS II kritērijus. Bērni tika iedalīti 2 gadu, …
Fuzzy Logic, Knowledge and Natural Language
2012
This is an introductive study on what Fuzzy Logic is, on the difference between Fuzzy Logic and the other many-valued calculi and on the possible relationship between Fuzzy Logic and the complex sciences. Fuzzy Logic is nowadays a very popular logic methodology. Different kinds of applications in cybernetics, in software programming and its growing use in medicine seems to make Fuzzy Logic, according to someone, the “new” logic of science and technology. In his enthusiastic panegyric of Fuzzy Logic, Kosko (1993) argues that after thirty years from the birth of this calculus, it is time to declare the new era of Fuzzy Logic and to forget the old era of classical logic. I think that this poin…
A Design Theory for Secure Information Systems Design Methods
2006
Many alternative methods for designing secure information systems (SIS) have been proposed to ensure system security. However, within all the literature on SIS methods, there exists little theoretically grounded work that addresses the fundamental requirements and goals of SIS design. This paper first uses design theory to develop a SIS design theory framework that defines six requirements for SIS design methods, and second, shows how known SIS design methods fail to satisfy these requirements. Third, the paper describes a SIS design method that does address these requirements and reports two empirical studies that demonstrate the validity of the proposed framework. peerReviewed
Progress towards innovative and energy efficient logic circuits
2020
Abstract The integration of superconductive nanowire logic memories and energy efficient computing Josephson logic is explored. Nanowire memories are based on the integration of switchable superconducting nanowires with a suitable magnetic material. These memories exploit the electro-thermal operation of the nanowires to efficiently store and read a magnetic state. In order to achieve proper memory operation a careful design of the nanowire assembly is necessary, as well as a proper choice of the magnetic material to be employed. At present several new superconducting logic families have been proposed, all tending to minimize the effect of losses in the digital Josephson circuits replacing …
Patient Alert to detect ICD lead failure: efficacy, limitations, and implications for future algorithms.
2006
Aims An algorithm that alerts implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients, in case of abnormal lead impedance (Patient Alert™, Medtronic), may help to recognize lead dysfunction. We aimed to determine the utility of Patient Alert for ICD lead-failure detection in a prospective study. Methods and results Three hundred and sixty ICD patients were followed for 22±14 months. Patient Alert was active for pacing impedance 2000–3000 Ω, and high-voltage conductor impedance 200 Ω. Ten alert events and a total of 29 severe system complications occurred. Patient Alert detected three of 10 ICD lead failures, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 77.8% for any severe system complication. R…
