Management of Statin Intolerance in 2018: Still More Questions Than Answers.
2018
Statin therapy is generally well tolerated and very effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, regardless of cholesterol levels; however, it can be associated with various adverse events (myalgia, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and diabetes mellitus, among others). Patients frequently discontinue statin therapy without medical advice because of perceived side effects and consequently increase their risk for cardiovascular events. In patients with statin intolerance, it may be advisable to change the dose, switch to a different statin, or try an alternate-day regimen. If intolerance is associated with all statins—even at the lowest dose—non-statin drugs and certain nutra…
Propagandasta ja vihasta : kuinka annetut kuvat alistavat ihmisen rituaalisen kielen käyttäjäksi
2012
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, kuinka viha ja propaganda liittyvät toisiinsa ja mitä epäpyhästä liittoumasta seuraa. Motivoivana kysymyksenä tutkimuksen taustalla on: miksi ihminen on toiselle ihmiselle niin kelju, että olemme joutuneet ikuiseen sotatilaan suhteessa Toisiin niin mielissämme, kuin rintamallakin? Tutkimus tarkastelee, mitä propaganda nykypäivänä tarkoittaa, ketkä sitä levittävät, miksi, ja miten se vaikuttaa ihmiseen. Tutkimuksessa vihaa tarkastellaan massoihin kohdistuvana moraalisena ilmiönä ja suhteessa propagandaan. Käsittelyn ulkopuolelle jäävät propagandan tuottamiseen kykenemättömät heikot instituutiot ja niiden vastarintaan liittyvä kapinallinen viha. Tutkimuksen…

2014
La Conferencia de Alma Ata sobre Atención Primaria de Salud en 1978 declaró que ''la salud es un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y el bienestar social y no una mera ausencia de enfermedades o dolencias''. La maloclusión se ha asociado con problemas psicosociales derivados de una estética dentofacial deficiente, alteraciones funcionales en los casos más extremos (puede verse alterada el habla, la masticación y la articulación temporo-mandibular, entre otras) y una mayor susceptibilidad de desarrollar enfermedad periodontal, caries o sufrir traumatismos dentales; así, debe ser considerada como un problema de salud. La maloclusión no es una enfermedad en el sentido estricto por lo …
