Resonancia mágnetica pélvica dinámica versus videodefecografía en el estudio del síndrome de defecación obstructiva
2015
Título: Resonancia magnética pélvica dinámica versus videodefecografía en el estudio del síndrome de defecación obstructiva. Introducción: El síndrome de defecación obstructiva (SDO) designa la dificultad de evacuar satisfactoriamente el recto durante la defecación. Una herramienta esencial para definirlo son los estudios dinámicos de imagen como la videodefecografía (VD) y la resonancia magnética pélvica dinámica (RMPD). La prueba complementaria para el estudio del SDO más empleada actualmente es la VD introducida en los años 60 Burhenne et al. La RMPD supone una moderna alternativa con múltiples ventajas potenciales para el estudio del SDO. El objetivo del trabajo es realizar un estudio p…
Evolution of Functional Exercise Capacity in Lung Transplant Patients With and Without Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome: A Longitudinal Case-Control…
2019
Introduction: Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) is a debilitating disease with limited treatment options that threatens both the quality of life and long-term survival of lung transplant (LTx) recipients. This retrospective longitudinal case-control study was performed to compare the long-term functional evolution of LTx recipients with and without BOS. Methods: Twenty-four LTx recipients with BOS (BOS=Cases) and 24 without BOS (NON-BOS=Controls) were selected and individually matched according to age, gender, diagnosis and LTx characteristics. Measurements of 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), symptoms of dyspnea (BORG CR-10 scale), and comprehensive pulmonary function testing were pe…
A Bayesian cost-effectiveness analysis of a telemedicine-based strategy for the management of sleep apnoea: a multicentre randomised controlled trial
2015
Background Compliance with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is essential in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but adequate control is not always possible. This is clinically important because CPAP can reverse the morbidity and mortality associated with OSA. Telemedicine, with support provided via a web platform and video conferences, could represent a cost-effective alternative to standard care management. Aim To assess the telemedicine impact on treatment compliance, cost-effectiveness and improvement in quality of life (QoL) when compared with traditional face-to-face follow-up. Methods A randomised controlled trial was performed to compare a telemedicine-bas…
Investigation and management of residual sleepiness in CPAP-treated patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: the European view
2022
International audience; Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a major symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), defined as the inability to stay awake during the day. Its clinical descriptors remain elusive, and the pathogenesis is complex, with disorders such as insufficient sleep and depression commonly associated. Subjective EDS can be evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, in which the patient reports the probability of dozing in certain situations; however, its reliability has been challenged. Objective tests such as the multiple sleep latency test or the maintenance of wakefulness test are not commonly used in patients with OSA, since they require nocturnal polysomnography, da…
Queilitis granulomatosa de Miescher: presentación de cinco casos
2004
La queilitis granulomatosa de Miescher (QG), consiste en la aparición de edema labial recurrente en uno o ambos labios, el cual puede llegar a ser persistente. Ha sido considerada tradicionalmente, como una forma monosintomática del síndrome de Melkersson Rosenthal, descrito como la asociación de edema labial y/o facial recurrente, parálisis facial recidivante y lengua fisurada. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una serie de 5 casos diagnosticados clínica e histopatológicamente de QG, que acudieron a la consulta de la Unidad Docente de Medicina Bucal de la Universidad de Murcia. Se realizó un estudio completo de estos pacientes, valoramos la edad y el sexo, antecedentes familiares, l…
The burnout syndrome and associated personality disturbances. The study in three graduate programs in Dentistry at the University of Barcelona
2008
Objective: Determine the presence of ?burnout? syndrome and characteristic personality patterns in the students and faculty of three graduate programs in Dentistry at the University of Barcelona: Department of Oral Surgery and Implantology, Department of Orthodontics and Department of Integrated Dentistry. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in 78 dentists. The level of ?burnout? was evaluated using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, socio-demographic variables and, finally, the personality test. Results: Oral surgeons constituted the group of highlevel ?burnout?. The profile of an individual with a propensity to ?burn out? is a single man, with a median age of 27, that is in the f…

Eficacia y cambios anatómicos inducidos por los dispositivos de avance mandibular en pacientes con síndrome de apnea-hipopnea del sueño (SAHS).
2016
Los dispositivos de avance mandibular (DAM) se consideran la primera elección terapéutica en pacientes con síndrome de apnea-hipopnea del sueño (SAHS) leve o moderada y en SAHS severos que no toleren o rechacen otras opciones de tratamiento. Sin embargo, todavía existen cuestiones por resolver acerca de la utilización de los DAM como el lugar y el modo de acción exactos, o identificar aquellos pacientes que pueden tener un resultado satisfactorio a través de la selección de varios factores predictivos, o saber porqué en el paciente SAHS severo el dispositivo de avance mandibular no es siempre un tratamiento eficaz. Objetivos: Determinar los cambios morfológicos en la vía aérea superior (VAS…
