Results of a dental care protocol for mentally handicapped patients set in a primary health care area in Spain

2007

Objective: Disabled people have the same right as other people to receive the health care they need, but they sometimes have difficulties to achieve it. In Castilla y Leon it has come into effect a law to guarantee Primary and Secondary Care coordination to provide dental treatment under sedation or anaesthesia to mentally disabled people who need it. Our aim is to evaluate the results of the implementation of such a law through a specific protocol in our health setting. Study design: Descriptive, made in a Health Area over a year, on mentally disabled people who were sent to hospital for treatment under anaesthesia after Primary Dental Care Units assessment. It has been studied the age, ge…

Augmented reality based middle and inner ear surgical procedures

2020

Otologic procedures involve manipulation of small, delicate and complex structures in the temporal bone anatomy which are in close proxmity of critical nerves and blood vessels. Augmented reality (AR) can highly benefit the otological domain by providing supplementary anatomical and navigational information unified on a single display. However, despite being composed of mainly rigid bony structures, the awareness and acceptance of possibilities of AR systems in otology is fairly low. This project aims at developing video-based AR solutions for middle and inner ear surgical procedures.We propose two applications of AR in this regard. In the first application, information about middle ear cle…

Molecular characterization of cucumber mosaic virus isolates infecting ornamental species cultivated in the botanical garden of Bologna university.

2006

During an epidemiological survey carried out in the Botanical Garden at Bologna University, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has been detected by applying PAS-ELISA technique infecting some ornamental species exhibiting a severe symptomatology on the leaves. Datura innoxia Miller. showed mosaic and leaf-curling; Globularia nudicaulis L. produced narrowed leaves with a yellow mosaic and/or variegation; Eupatorium cannabinum L. showed a systemic chlorotic and/or yellow mosaic and stunting. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) were employed to characterise these CMV isolates. Total RNA was extracted from symptomatic leaf samples…

Effect of two distinct implant macro-designs on the osseointegration of bicortically installed implants in two topographic sites. A histomorphometric…

Antecedentes científicos y objetivos de estudio: El uso de implantes dentales como alternativa para la rehabilitación oral ha demostrado su eficacia y mostrando altas tasas de supervivencia. Un aspecto clave de la osteointegración del implante dental está relacionado con la obtención de una estabilidad primaria adecuada, asegurada por el enclavamiento mecánico entre el tejido óseo y la interfaz del implante, la cual depende en parte de la geometría del implante, la rugosidad de la superficie y la técnica quirúrgica para la preparación del lecho implantario. Varios factores están involucrados en la interacción entre la superficie del implante y el hueso nativo circundante durante la osteoint…

Clinico-Biomechanical Issues and Dynamic Stabilization When Considering Stem Cell Treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease

2013

After reading the article published in Transplantation (1), scientists are to be congratulatedVespecially with the clinical results as published. Looking for alternatives to avoid fusion is part of function-preserving spine care, as it should be the last option to be undertaken while keeping the debate open (2, 3). Nevertheless, we would like to point out some questions that arise from a clinical point of view from our daily surgical practice. First, several clinical presentations and procedures are compared without taking into account that they are different treatments applied for different disc disease situations (discectomy is performed for disc herniation with radicular symptoms, disc p…

Validation of a Shear Model for RC and Hybrid Beams with Two Different Inclinations of Transversal Reinforcement

2016

The validation of an analytical model recently proposed for evaluation of the shear capacity in Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams containing multiple inclination of transverse stirrups is presented. The model is a suitable extension of that currently proposed in Eurocode 2 for the evaluation of the shear resistance, and it is derived by means of the the variable-inclination stress-field theory based on Nielsen’s plastic approach. Experimental and numerical data available in the literature on Hybrid Steel-Trussed Concrete Beams (HSTCBs) are used for model validation and result discussion. Finally, also the comparison with a different analytical approach for the assessment of the shear resistanc…

TheMedicago truncatulahypermycorrhizal B9 mutant displays an altered response to phosphate and is more susceptible toAphanomyces euteiches

2014

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) plays a key role in the development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, which is favoured when Pi is limiting in the environment. We have characterized the Medicago truncatula hypermycorrhizal B9 mutant for its response to limiting (P/10) and replete (P2) Pi. On P2, mycorrhization was significantly higher in B9 plants than in wild-type (WT). The B9 mutant displayed hallmarks of Pi-limited plants, including higher levels of anthocyanins and lower concentrations of Pi in shoots than WT plants. Transcriptome analyses of roots of WT and B9 plants cultivated on P2 or on P/10 confirmed the Pi-limited profile of the mutant on P2 and highlighted its altered response t…

SKRINING FITOKIMIA, UJI AKTIVITAS ANTIMIKROBA DAN ANTITUMOR TUMBUHAN OBAT KABUPATEN MANOKWARI

2008

<p><em>Pythochemistry screening and testing of antimicrobial and antitumor activities was carried out on 31 species of medicinal plants distributed around Manokwari Regency.  All parts of the plants were collected and screened for the presence of alkaloids, saponins, and tannins; antimicrobial and antitumor activity. The number of positive tests obtained are 17 (55, 3%) for alkaloids, 6 (19, 4%) for saponins, and 26 (84, 7%) for tannins. Eleven species shown inhibition activities (antimicrobial) to Candida albicans, Staphyloccocus aureus, and Echericia colii while only seven species have antitumor activity, especially against tumor cell P-388. </em></p>
