Managing patients taking edoxaban in dentistry

2017

Background Anticoagulation therapy is used in several conditions to prevent or treat thromboembolism. A new group of oral anticoagulants with clear advantages over classic dicoumarin oral anticoagulants (warfarin and acenocoumarol) has been developed in recent years. The Food and Drug Administration has approved edoxaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban. Their advantages include: predictable pharmacokinetics, drug interactions and limited food, rapid onset of action and short half-life. However, they lack a specific reversal agent. Material and methods This paper examines the available evidence regarding rivaroxaban and sets out proposals for clinical guidance of dental practitioners t…

Impact of functional mandibular advancement appliances on the temporomandibular joint : a systematic review

2015

Background Although many orthodontists have no doubts about the effectiveness of functional appliances for mandibular advancement, the impact on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is still in dispute. The objective of this systematic review is to examine the main effects on the TMJ of using functional appliances, both in healthy patients and in patients with a pre-existing disorder. Material and Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Only systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized clinical trials (RCTs), case-control studies and cohort studies were included. A detailed language-independent electronic search was conducted in th…

Consumption of anabolic steroids in sport, physical activity and as a drug of abuse: an analysis of the scientific literature and areas of research.

2007

Objective The consumption of anabolic steroids (AS) has been growing continuously in recent years. It has gone beyond the sports world; AS are now widely used as drugs of abuse in connection with bodybuilding. This study sets out to assess the state of scientific research in the area. Design Bibliometrics were employed to evaluate the literature retrieved from the principal relevant bibliographic databases: MEDLINE, SportDiscus, the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index. The core journals were identified along with the leading authors and research groups and their institutional affiliations. Techniques based on social network analysis were applied in order t…

A functional analysis of ACP-20, an adult-specific cuticular protein gene from the beetle Tenebrio. Role of an intronic sequence in transcriptional a…

2004

0962-1075 (Print) Comparative Study Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; A gene encoding the adult cuticular protein ACP-20 was isolated in Tenebrio. It consists of three exons interspersed by two introns, intron 1 interrupting the signal peptide. To understand the regulatory mechanisms of ACP-20 expression, ACP-20 promoter-luciferase reporter gene constructs were transfected into cultured pharate adult wing epidermis. Transfection assays needed the presence of 20-hydroxyecdysone, confirming that ACP-20 is up-regulated by ecdysteroids. Analysis of 5' deletion constructs revealed that three regions are necessary for high levels of transcription. Interaction experiments between i…

Matières de table. Fantaisies gourmandes de Jacques Fontanille.

2021

Following the figurative trajectory of gustatory sensitivity in the work of Jacques Fontanille, three key moments stand out: (1) the entry through the sensory and the flavors, marked by the autonomy of the figurative dimension in the sensitive deployment of the flavor; (2) the putting to the test of the semiotic exploration in different fields of expression: at the table, through "the setting in plate", around the wine; (3) the figurative consistency of the food form as manifestation of a form of life, with its modalities and its modulations

Future capabilities of CME polarimetric 3D reconstructions with the METIS instrument: A numerical test

2015

D.H.M. would like to thank STFC and the Leverhulme Trust for their financial support. P.P. would like to thank STFC and the Leverhulme Trust. The computational work for this paper was carried out on the joint STFC and SFC (SRIF) funded cluster at the University of St Andrews (Scotland, UK). Context. Understanding the 3D structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is crucial for understanding the nature and origin of solar eruptions. However, owing to the optical thinness of the solar corona we can only observe the line of sight integrated emission. As a consequence the resulting projection effects hide the true 3D structure of CMEs. To derive information on the 3D structure of CMEs from whit…

Clustering-Based Protocol Classification via Dimensionality Reduction

2015

We propose a unique framework that is based upon diffusion processes and other methodologies for finding meaningful geometric descriptions in high-dimensional datasets. We will show that the eigenfunctions of the generated underlying Markov matrices can be used to construct diffusion processes that generate efficient representations of complex geometric structures for high-dimensional data analysis. This is done by non-linear transformations that identify geometric patterns in these huge datasets that find the connections among them while projecting them onto low dimensional spaces. Our methods automatically classify and recognize network protocols. The main core of the proposed methodology…
