[Optimization of systemic treatments for chronic plaque psoriasis. Recommendations for switching and transitioning.]
2014
The aim of this study was to provide practical recommendations for optimizing the use of conventional and biological systemic treatments for moderate-severe chronic plaque psoriasis, particularly in case of transitioning and switching.A total number of 147 dermatologists from 33 different countries including Italy achieved consensus in providing practical recommendations for the use of conventional and biological treatments for moderate to severe psoriasis based on systematic literature review and/or expert opinion.In general, the continuous treatment regimen should be preferred in order to achieve a complete and long-term control of psoriasis. However, the treatment could be stopped or the…
Gingivitis
2014
Gingival inflammation is caused by bacterial plaque (dental biofilm) that accumulates daily on the teeth. Results in redness, slight swelling, or "puffiness" of the gums and bleeding on tooth brushing. Treatment involves thorough professional tooth cleaning and effective daily removal of dental plaque by tooth brushing and cleaning between the teeth. Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) is a more serious condition that is mainly found in developing countries associated with people with severe malnutrition or HIV/AIDS with low CD4 T-cell counts.
Estudio de los mecanismos responsables del efecto protrombótico de Abacavir
2021
La terapia antirretroviral combinada es la que se utiliza para el tratamiento del virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) y ha permitido que el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) haya pasado de ser una enfermedad mortal a crónica. Sin embargo, su uso se ha asociado con la aparición de diversos efectos adversos, entre ellos las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Debido a que los fármacos antirretrovirales se pautan de manera combinada, es difícil establecer la implicación de cada uno de los fármacos en estos efectos adversos. Abacavir (ABC) —inhibidor de la transcriptasa inversa análogo de nucleósido, concretamente de la guanina (purina endógena)— ha sido relacionado con un mayor …
Molecular Characterization of a Variant of Bacillus anthracis-Specific Phage AP50 with Improved Bacteriolytic Activity▿ †
2008
ABSTRACT The genome sequence of a Bacillus anthracis -specific clear plaque mutant phage, AP50c, contains 31 open reading frames spanning 14,398 bp, has two mutations compared to wild-type AP50t, and has a colinear genome architecture highly similar to that of gram-positive Tectiviridae phages. Spontaneous AP50c-resistant B. anthracis mutants exhibit a mucoid colony phenotype.
