Oral lichen planus: A look from diagnosis to treatment.
2013
Abstract: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease of unknown etiology. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and it may affect the oral mucosa, skin and other mucous membranes. Diagnosis is based on clinic and histopathology; direct immunofluorescence techniques can also be of use. It affects about one to two percent of the population, mainly women between the fifth and sixth decades of life. In the mouth, the most affected area is the buccal mucosa, followed by the gums, tongue and/or palate. Its three most representative clinical forms are reticular, erythematous and erosive; evolution depends on the type it is. Lesion treatment is determined by the clinical form and, si…
Non-communicable Diseases and Oral Health: An Overview
2021
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, diabetes, cancer and diseases of the oral cavity such as caries or periodontitis represent a global and highly relevant problem due to demographic and epidemiological changes. They are not only responsible for millions of deaths worldwide, but also cause relevant costs for national economies arise for the health care of societies. Assuming that oral health and general health are directly linked, emerging interactions between systemic and oral diseases are increasingly being researched. Common important risk factors have implications for economic, social, and moral determinants of health. Interdisciplinarily train…
Breakthrough Cancer Pain: Ten Commandments
2016
The term "breakthrough cancer pain" (BTcP) was introduced about 25 years ago. Peaks of pain intensity reported in patients with cancer had been invariably examined in the past years, providing relevant information for a better knowledge of this phenomenon and its treatment. The aim of this critical review was to provide the golden rules, namely, the 10 commandments, for a correct diagnostic pathway of BTcP and a consequent personalized pharmacological treatment. These are as follows: 1) assessment of background analgesia, 2) drugs used for background analgesia, 3) BTcP is a frequent phenomenon, 4) characteristics of BTcP, 5) diagnosis of BTcP, 6) continuous assessment, 7) tailored pharmacol…
Panorámica de la desigualdad digital en España: operacionalización y dimensionamiento de las brechas digitales de accesibilidad, habilidades y formas…
2019
En este artículo, se realiza un análisis estadístico de la desigualdad digital en España a partir de una operacionalización de las tres brechas digitales más relevantes: (1) accesibilidad a los dispositivos TIC; (2) competencias y habilidades digitales; y (3) prácticas digitales y formas diferenciales de uso. La metodología es cuantitativa, basada en la última oleada (2018) de la encuesta sobre equipamientos tecnológicos en el hogar del INE (TIC-H), a partir de la cual se ha desarrollado un análisis comparativo por género, edad, nivel de estudios, situación laboral y tipo de hábitat residencial. Los resultados muestran cómo la desigualdad de acceso tiene actualmente más que ver con las moda…
Visual cues improve students’ understanding of divergence and curl: Evidence from eye movements during reading and problem solving
2019
The coordination of multiple external representations is important for learning, but yet a difficult task for students, requiring instructional support. The subject in this study covers a typical relation in physics between abstract mathematical equations (definitions of divergence and curl) and a visual representation (vector field plot). To support the connection across both representations, two instructions with written explanations, equations, and visual representations (differing only in the presence of visual cues) were designed and their impact on students’ performance was tested. We captured students’ eye movements while they processed the written instruction and solved subsequent c…
Desarrollo de métodos de disolución con capacidad predictiva del rendimiento in vivo de formulaciones farmacéuticas
2019
Los estudios de bioequivalencia permiten el desarrollo de medicamentos genéricos como una vía sustentable para el acceso a medicamentos seguros, eficaces y de calidad. El Sistema de Clasificación Biofarmacéutico (SCB), estableció los factores que determinan la absorción de fármacos por vía oral, con grandes beneficios desde el punto de vista económico y ético. La presente investigación tiene por objetivo desarrollar metodologías in vitro e in situ que permitan predecir el desempeño in vivo de formas farmacéuticas que contienen fármacos de la clase 2 del SCB. Se estudiaron formulaciones sólidas orales de liberación inmediata de candesartán cilexetilo (CDT), valsartán (VAL) y clonazepam (CLZ)…
La relevancia de la investigación social a nivel local para el diseño de políticas municipales: el diagnóstico social de la ciudad de Valencia
2019
Presentamos algunos de los resultados obtenidos con la investigación ?Diagnóstico Social de la Ciudad de València, 2017?, realizada en el marco de un convenio de colaboración entre el Ayuntamiento de València, a través de la Concejalía de Servicios Sociales y del Servicio de Bienestar Social e Integración y la Universitat de València (Red Incluye). Uno de los rasgos más relevantes de la investigación fue su enfoque local, territorial y subterritorial en el desarrollo metodológico y técnico de la investigación al estarorientada a proporcionar información actualizada, inédita y relevante para las funciones del personal técnico de las once áreas de los Centros Municipales de Servicios Sociales…
In search for criteria of relevance for argumentation theory
2008
Argumentaatioteoria tutkii väittelyprosessia, joka nähdään rationaalisena toimintana, ja jossa esitetään väitteitä sekä perustellaan niitä. Klassisen logiikan piirissä on traditio, jossa logiikan teoriaa käytetään argumentaatiossa esiintyvien päättelyjen mallintamiseen. Tässä työssä logiikan lähestymistapaa tarkastellaan sen argumenttien arviointikyvyn valossa, kun pätevyydellä tarkoitetaan loogista pätevyyttä. Havaitaan, että looginen pätevyys ei ole riittävä kriteeri, sillä relevanssi muodostuu ongelmaksi. Viime vuosikymmenien aikana argumentaation tutkimus samoin kuin eiklassiset logiikan tutkimukset ovat saaneet elinvoimaa. Tässä työssä tarkastellaan erästä vaikuttavimmista argumentaati…
Fault diagnosis of induction motors broken rotor bars by pattern recognition based on noise cancelation
2014
Current signal monitoring (CSM) can be used as an effective tool for diagnosing broken rotor bars fault in induction motors. In this paper, fault diagnosis and classification based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) is done in two stages. In the first stage, a filter is designed to remove irrelevant fault components (such as noise) of current signals. The coefficients of the filter are obtained by least square (LS) algorithm. Then by extracting suitable time domain features from filter's output, a neural network is trained for fault classification. The output vector of this network is represented in one of four categories that includes healthy mode, a 5 mm crack on a bar, one broken bar, …
La inscripción de la ciudadanía en la cuba neocolonial (1902-1919) : Sucinta referencia histórico-jurídica
2021
This historical-legal account brieflycovering 17 years of civil registration activity carried out during the neocolonial period by Municipal Judges and Secretaries, specifically that related to registration of Cuban citizens)becomes considerably relevant to understand and to godeeper into the origins of this complex process, as well asto achieve a re-encounter with the history of those who passed through those times, currently a hidden history in the shadows of Civil Registration offices, but still alive and thus allowing us to find all the beauty that there was in it.
