Reproducibilidad en la medición del color «in vitro» e «in vivo» mediante colorímetros específicos para uso dental
2005
Introduccion: La medicion del color dental de la forma mas objetiva y reproducible posible, es uno de los problemas en Odontologia. La reciente aparicion de colorimetros especialmente concebidos para la toma del color dental pueden ser de ayuda para este fin. Objetivo: Evaluar la fiabilidad en la reproducion de las mediciones del color de tres colorimetros, disenados para la toma del color dental. Material y metodo: Se midio el color tres veces sucesivas a cada uno los doce dientes anteriores de diez pacientes y se tomo cinco veces el color de cada uno de los dieciseis dientes de tres guias Vitapan Classical. Resultados: La reproducibilidad para la medicion de las guias vario entre 72, 25 y…
A pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of adjunctive use of two antimicrobial topical gels in chronic gingivitis
2021
Background Gingivitis is one of the most prevalent oral disease in humans. The most important etiological factor of gingivitis is dental plaque. Plaque control procedures comprises of several mechanical and chemical methods. Many studies have advocated that chemical plaque control methods can be used successfully as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control procedures. Thus, the aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two topical antimicrobial gels as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control over a period of 2 weeks in treatment of chronic gingivitis patients. Material and methods This is a single blind, two arm parallel design pilot clinical study including 60 systemically…
No association between Helicobacter pylori genotypes and antibiotic resistance phenotypes within families.
2002
Background. Triple therapy combining a proton pump inhibitor with two antibiotics, e.g. clarythromycin (CLR), metronidazole (MTZ) or amoxicillin (AMX), represents the standard in Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens. Resistance to antimicrobial agents, particularly MTZ (up to 56% in Western countries) and CLR (up to 15% in southern Europe), is frequently observed and may be associated with treatment failure [1]. Recently, several studies indicated that individual H. pylori colonies from a single anatomic site may not always yield identical genotypes, or the identical patterns of susceptibility to antibiotics [2–5]. Representative for every single patient we analyzed 27 H. pylori antrum …

In-between sprawl and neo-rurality. Sparse settlements and the evolution of socio-demographic local context in a Mediterranean region
2018
Dispersed urbanization during the last half century has transformed metropolitan regions into well-connected, low-density residential areas. However, this kind of urbanization has changed irreversibly the traditional rural landscape around cities, leading to a new definition of &lsquo
Trayectorias Económicas de las Regiones Españolas en un Escenario Post-crisis: Efectos de Vecindad, Especialización y Aglomeración.
2019
Over the last decade, the Spanish regions have undergone deep economic transformations that have gone hand in hand with changes in the production model. After the bursting of the housing bubble, growth has resumed through a recovery of the international competitiveness and a reorientation towards the foreign market. This new model has a clear territorial dimension visible in terms of unequal regional growth showing specific patterns and driving to a new territorial configuration. In order to define this nee configuration, we shall apply a spatial shift-share analysis to the Spanish regions for the periods 2008-13 (recession) and 2013-17 (recovery) aiming to split growth into its composing e…
A 14-item Mediterranean diet assessment tool and obesity indexes among high-risk subjects: the PREDIMED trial
2012
Objective Independently of total caloric intake, a better quality of the diet (for example, conformity to the Mediterranean diet) is associated with lower obesity risk. It is unclear whether a brief dietary assessment tool, instead of full-length comprehensive methods, can also capture this association. In addition to reduced costs, a brief tool has the interesting advantage of allowing immediate feedback to participants in interventional studies. Another relevant question is which individual items of such a brief tool are responsible for this association. We examined these associations using a 14-item tool of adherence to the Mediterranean diet as exposure and body mass index, waist circum…

Active commuting to school among preschool-aged children and its barriers: An exploratory study in collaboration with parents
2018
Abstract Introduction Active commuting to school (ACS) contributes to children's overall physical activity levels, providing multiple health benefits. However, studies analyzing the modes of transport used among children of preschool age (3–5 years), as well as which factors affect ACS, are scant. Methods We performed a mixed-method study, initially taking a qualitative approach in collaboration with parents of preschool-aged children (i.e., focus groups), to identify their usual modes of commuting to school with their offspring. Following this, we asked parents, through a questionnaire, about the modes of transport to school they use with their children, as well as the weekly use-frequency…
Go for it! Exercising makes you happy and strong
2020
Despite it is generally recognized the beneficial role of physical activity, large portion of the population is physically inactive. Very alarmingly, the well-known gender gap in physical activity is constantly increasing. Several barriers obstacle women to perform physical activity although exercising would be of paramount importance for their health in particular during pregnancy and menopause. In addition to physical health benefits, physical activity may influence well-being and resilience, greatly impacting on quality of life. Here we explore the relationship between physical activity resilience and well-being in a group of 1107 female residents in the Metropolitan area of Naples.
