Proyecto migratorio y trayectorias laborales de cuidadoras latinoamericanas: efectos de la Gran Recesión. Un estudio cualitativo en el Área Metropoli…
2021
Este texto aborda el proyecto migratorio y las trayectorias laborales de mujeres latinoamericanas que trabajan como cuidadoras en el ámbito doméstico en el Área Metropolitana de Valencia. A partir del uso de una metodología cualitativa se llega a varias conclusiones: existe una explicación multicausal de los proyectos migratorios, predominando los de carácter económico/laboral, y, en segundo lugar, sus trayectorias laborales se caracterizan por el mantenimiento en las mismas ocupaciones con ligeros cambios, o con modificaciones en sectores muy concretos. Además, la Gran Recesión ha afectado de manera negativa aquellas que habían visto levemente mejoradas sus posiciones en el mercado laboral…
Gingival recession associated with Orthodontic treatment and root coverage
2010
Many patients seek to pursue orthodontic treatment for esthetic improvement. These patients present with mal- alignment of the anterior teeth. There was strong correlation between the severity and extent of gingival recessions and past orthodontic treatment, it was suggested that orthodontic tooth movement may lead to gingival recession. The principal objective in the treatment of gingival recession is to cover the exposed root surfaces to improve es- thetics and to reduce hypersensitivity. Different soft tissue grafting procedures have been proposed in the treatment of gingival recessions. Free gingival grafts (FGG) are a reliable method for treatment of gingival recessions: An autograft i…
Interdisciplinary approach for the treatment of periodontally compromised malpositioned anterior teeth: a case report
2009
Today many adult patients with periodontal disease demonstrate positioning of teeth that comprise their ability for proper mechanical tooth cleaning of approximal tooth surfaces. With adequate combined periodontal-orthodontic treatment it is possible to re-establish a healthy and well-functioning dentition. However, while orthodontic treatment can realign periodontally affected teeth, esthetic appearance may be compromised by gingival recession due to alveolar bone dehiscences or fenestrations in combination with a thin gingival biotype. This article reports an interdisciplinary (periodontic, orthodontic, restorative) approach for the treatment of a periodontally compromised patient with an…
Classification of Gingival Recession
2018
Gingival recession is a common finding in many patients and is clinically manifested by an apical displacement of the gingival margin in relation to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Various classification systems have been proposed to classify gingival recession defects and to predict final root coverage outcomes. Among them, the Miller classification is still the most commonly used among dental practitioners and researchers. This chapter reviews the different classification systems available for gingival recession defects and explores the strengths and limitations of them.
Definition of Gingival Recession and Anatomical Considerations
2018
The gingiva is an integral part of the periodontium that covers the cervical portions of the teeth and the alveolar processes of the jaws. In health, the closely adapted gingival tissues provide effective protection against mechanical trauma and bacterial invasion and also play a critical role in aesthetics. Therefore, a recession of the gingival margin not only affects the aesthetic appearance but may cause several adverse consequences due to exposure of the root surface. This chapter provides a definition of gingival recession and gives a basic overview of the anatomical characteristics of the gingiva. A basic understanding of the macroscopic and microscopic features of healthy gingiva is…
Progress towards the first measurement of charm baryon dipole moments
2021
Electromagnetic dipole moments of short-lived particles are sensitive to physics within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics but have not been accessible experimentally to date. To perform such measurements it has been proposed to exploit the spin precession of channeled particles in bent crystals at the LHC. Progress that enables the first measurement of charm baryon dipole moments is reported. In particular, the design and characterization on beam of silicon and germanium bent crystal prototypes, the optimization of the experimental setup, and advanced analysis techniques are discussed. Sensitivity studies show that first measurements of $\Lambda_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^+$ baryon dip…
C21orf2 is mutated in recessive early-onset retinal dystrophy with macular staphyloma and encodes a protein that localises to the photoreceptor prima…
2015
Background/aim We have noted a phenotype of early-onset retinal dystrophy with macular staphyloma but without high myopia. The aim of this study is to report the underlying genetic mutations and the subcellular localisation of the gene product in the retina. Methods Retrospective case series (2012–2015); immunohistochemical analyses of mammalian retina for in situ protein localisation. Results All three probands were first noted to have decreased vision at 3–6 years old which worsened over time. At ages 39, 37 and 12 years old, all had similar retinal findings: dystrophic changes (retinal pigment epithelium mottling, vessel narrowing), macular staphyloma (despite only mild myopia or high hy…
Autosomal recessive micrencephaly with simplified gyral pattern, abnormal myelination and arthrogryposis.
1999
The clinical courses, neuroimaging and muscle biopsy findings of two infants born to an inbred Arab family are described. They had a syndrome of micrencephaly with simplified gyral pattern, abnormal myelin formation and arthrogryposis. Increased variation of fiber size was seen in the muscle biopsy, creatine kinase, however was normal. Large areas of muscle were replaced by adipofibrous tissue. The infants had dysmorphic features consistent with the fetal akinesia/hypokinesia sequence. The abnormalities were suggestive of microlissencephaly probably associated with a dysgenetic process in the muscles. The syndrome showed an autosomal recessive inheritance.
Morphea “en coup de sabre”: an unusual oral presentation
2017
Morphea, or localized scleroderma, is an inflammatory disease that leads to sclerosis of the skin and underlying tissues due to excessive collagen deposition. Oral involvement is unusual and it may produce white linear fibrotic areas with a scar-like appearance, atrophy of tongue papillae, gingival recession and alveolar bone resorption. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl who consulted for progressive recession on the attached gingiva of her upper left incisors. She also presented a hypopigmented line on the left side skin of her upper lip, which continued through the vermilion and the lip mucosa, including the gingiva of the affected teeth. Clinical examination, blood tests, computeriz…
Incidence of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses in West Germany: Variation of a method for studying autosomal recessive disorders
1992
The incidence of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCL) in West Germany was determined using a novel method which is applicable to other autosomal recessively inherited diseases. Questionnaires were sent to all pediatric departments (answer rate 189/276, 68%), schools for the blind (39/46, 85%), and neuropathological institutes (15/22, 68%). Diagnoses were accepted only when based on firm clinical and/or electron microscopic criteria; 207 such identified patients were sorted according to year of birth. Plotting the cumulative number of new cases per year against the year of birth resulted in a slightly S-shaped curve. Before the year 1962, the curve is relatively flat, probably due to ineffic…
