Migración y salud: diferencias en mortalidad perinatal
2019
INTRODUCCIÓN Más de un billón de personas en el mundo migraron en 2018, 258 millones eran migrantes internacionales, el 48,4% fueron mujeres. España está entre los 10 países con mayor número de migrantes entre 1990 y 2017. Las tasas de mortalidad infantil y perinatal son marcadores del estado de salud poblacional, y clave en la evaluación de la calidad asistencial. La Comunitat Valenciana cuenta con un registro de mortalidad perinatal, con datos de muertes desde la semana 22 de gestación hasta los 28 días de vida. OBJETIVO Analizar la evolución de la mortalidad perinatal en mujeres migrantes y españolas residentes en la Comunitat Valenciana en 2006-2017, y sus causas prevenibles usando dive…
Impacto de la crisis en las políticas y prácticas de salud en Portugal: una mirada a la salud materno-infantil y reproductiva considerando la diversi…
2016
La crisis que se inició en 2008 y la llegada de Troika en 2011 en Portugal, trajo aparejados cambios significativos en el acceso a los servicios de salud, implicando tanto el deterioro de la salud como el aumento de las desigualdades en salud, particularmente en las poblaciones vulnerables, entre ellas las mujeres inmigrantes y sus familias. El presente trabajo de cariz cualitativo tiene como fuente empírica el análisis de 185 entrevistas (profesionales de salud, líderes de asociaciones, y mujeres inmigrantes y autóctonas) y observación participante. En él ilustramos con casos concretos las barreras de acceso a los servicios de salud, especialmente en la salud materno-infantil y salud repro…
Alteraciones salivares en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2
2006
La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es el desorden metabólico más frecuente, siendo además causante de una importante morbi-mortalidad. En estos pacientes se han descrito alteraciones estructurales de la parotida (sialosis) que podrían comportar modificaciones en la composición salivar, así como un incremento de patología dental y periodontal. Objetivos: establecer las alteraciones bioquímicas de la saliva y su posible correlación con los hallazgos morfológicos. Diseño del estudio: se realizo un estudio clínico de 33 pacientes, 17 de ellos con diabetes tipo 2. Se recogieron muestras de saliva para análisis bioquímico y suero para control metabólico. Resultados: en la saliva de los pacientes diabéti…
Identificación, clasificación, caracterización y análisis de las vías ciclistas del municipio de València para la mejora de la movilidad cotidiana so…
2020
En el primer cuarto del siglo XXI nos encontramos ante un panorama muy dinámico respecto a la movilidad urbana derivado de los cambios tecnológicos y ambientales dentro del contexto del cambio climático global. Las ciudades, y en especial la función de movilidad y transporte que en ellas tiene lugar, se encuentran ante la encrucijada de la sostenibilidad social, económica y ambiental y el replanteamiento estratégico de sus modelos de desarrollo. Diversas instituciones internacionales, entre las que se encuentra la Comisión Europea, han planteado la necesidad de implantar nuevos modelos de movilidad urbana eficiente y respetuosa para garantizar la movilidad, la calidad de vida, la protección…
Pfeiffer syndrome: clinical and genetic findings in five Brazilian families
2014
Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is mainly characterized by craniosysnostosis, midface hypoplasia, great toes with partial syndactyly of the digits and broad and medially deviated thumbs. It is caused by allelic mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and 2 (FGFR1 and 2) genes. This study describes the clinical and genetic features of five Brazilian families affected by PS. All patients exhibited the classical phenotypes related to PS. The genetic analysis was able to detect the mutations Cys278Phe, Cys342Arg, and Val359Leu in three of these families. Two mutations were de novo, with one familial. We identified pathogenic mutations in four PS cases in five Brazilian families by PCR seque…
Detection of bifid mandibular condyle using computed tomography
2011
Objective: To determine the frequency and characteristics of bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) using computed tomography (CT) evaluation. Study Design: A retrospective study was carried out using the CT records of 550 patients referred to the Medical School of Erciyes University (Kayseri, Turkey) between 2007 and 2010. T-tests were used to compare frequency of BMC between the left and right sides and between female and male patients. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software and a chi-squared test. Results: Of the 550 Patients, 10 patients (1.82%) were found to have BMCs. Five patients were female (50%) and five were male (50%). Of these 10 patients, 7 (70%) had unilateral and 3 (…
Arthroscopic approach for treating a pigmented villonodular sinovitis of TMJ. A case report
2017
The present report describes the case of a 29-year-old man referred to our service for TMJ pain and progressive reduction of the mouth opening. Differential diagnostics included rheumatologic diseases, monoarthritis and intraarticular lumps. In this line, a face CT scan and a MRI of TMJ were carried out in order to ensure a proper diagnosis. These tests showed a solid lesion into the joint cavity. In view of that, we decided to perform a diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy of TMJ. Histopathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of pigmented villonodular synovitis. The main aim of this report is to describe this rare syndrome with the goal of proposing suitable treatments. Moreover, we …
Osteosarcoma of maxilla: a case report
2010
Osteosarcoma is a common primary malignant bone tumor producing osteoid or bone. It occurs very infrequently in the jaws and comprises of 4% of the tumour number as compared to the osteosarcoma of the long bones. Os- teosarcoma of the maxilla is even rarer presenting with common clinical features of pain and swelling. This pre- sented case is a rare case of osteosarcoma of maxilla in a 21-year-old female patient. Diagnosis and pre-operative assessment was performed using a combination of intraoral periapical radiograph, occlusal radiograph, paranasal view and computed tomography (CT). CT revealed destruction of the walls of maxillary sinus and sunray type of ossification in the soft tissues…
Cemented and screw-retained implant-supported single-tooth restorations in the molar mandibular region: A retrospective comparison study after an obs…
2015
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival and compare the appearance of different mechanical and biological complications, in screw-retained and cemented-retained single-tooth implant-supported restorations localized in the molar mandibular region, over a period of 1 to 4 years. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out with a total of eighty implant-supported restorations, which were placed in eighty patients for prosthetic rehabilitation of a mandibular molar. Forty patients were rehabilitated with a cemented-retained restoration and the other forty with a screw-retained restoration. The presence of the following complications was recorded for both t…
Small cell osteosarcoma of mandible: a rare case report and review of literature.
2010
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone but only 5% of these tumours occur in the jaws. Of all the varieties of osteosarcoma, the juxtacortical type is rare and comprises only less than 4% of all osteosarcomas. Juxtacortical osteosarcoma is further subdivided into parosteal (low grade) and periosteal (high grade). Osteosarcomas can be categorized histologically mainly into chondroblastic, osteoblastic, fibroblastic and numerous others. One of the rare histological variant is small cell osteosarcoma which consists of sheets of round cells that produce an osteoid matrix. The aim of this article is to present a rare case of periosteal osteosarcoma of mandible which on h…
