Assessment of Osstell ISQ's reliability for implant stability measurement: a cross-sectional clinical study
2013
Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) allows assess implant stability by measuring implant oscillation frequency on the bone. RFA is an objective and non-invasive method for implant stability measurement, although scarce evidence has been provided so far on its reliability. Objectives: Assess the Osstell ISQ system's reliability (i.e., its measurement reproducibility and repeatability) by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) as statistical method. Study Desing: Implants stability registers were completed by means of Osstell ISQ on 85 implants on 23 patients. Six measurements were completed on each implant by means of two different SmartPegs (types I and II); that is, three con…
Bebiendo como chicos: consumo compartido de alcohol y rupturas de género en poblaciones adolescentes
2015
La información epidemiológica en España pone en evidencia los cambios que se vienen sucediendo en los patrones de consumo de alcohol en las poblaciones adolescentes. Estos son especialmente significativos en relación a la reducción de la brecha en los consumos intensivos de alcohol por parte de las chicas. Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir algunos elementos que, imbricados al sistema de género, muestran tendencias de lo que está sucediendo en relación al consumo de alcohol en las poblaciones adolescentes. Para ello fue diseñado un estudio cualitativo en base a grupos focales con chicas y chicos de 14 a 17 años. Los discursos de los 66 adolescentes andaluces participantes en el est…
Efficacy of the NaviTip FX irrigation needle in removing calcium hydroxide from root canal
2012
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the NaviTip FX, brush-covered irrigation needle, in removing calcium hydroxide from the root canal. Study Design: Thirty single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into three groups: A - irrigation with a hypodermic needle inserted as far as possible without binding and activation with #30 K-type file; B - Irrigation with a hypodermic needle without activation; C - irrigation with NaviTip FX needle. Sodium hypoclorite 1% was used in irrigation. The root canals were examined trough scanning electron microscopy. Calcium hydroxide removal was recorded at 1, 5, and 10mm from the working length (WL) and the data were analysed using one-way ANOVA test (p…
Medida del resultado de las intervenciones sanitarias en España: una aproximación mediante el análisis temporal y espacial de la mortalidad evitable …
2006
Fundamento: Muchos estudios proponen la mortalidad evitable (ME) como indicador para monitorizar los servicios de salud aunque su generalización está limitada por el gran número de listas de causas utilizadas. El objetivo es analizar la evolución temporal del período 1986-2001 y la distribución geográfica de la mortalidad evitable utilizando una lista de causas consensuada. Métodos: Se analiza la mortalidad evitable global (ME) y agrupada en causas ISAS (intervenciones de los servicios sanitarios) y causas IPSI (políticas intersectoriales). Se analiza la evolución temporal ajustando una recta de regresión de Poisson o un modelo de regresión de Joinpoint, según el caso, y se estima el porcen…
Condylar distances in hypermobile temporomandibular joints of patients with excessive mouth openings by using computed tomography
2014
Objectives: hypermobility in Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can manifest higher range of motions in mandible. The aim of this study was to compare the position and distances of the head of condyle to glenoid fossa in TMJs of healthy individuals and patients with mild, moderate and severe TMJ hypermobility. Material and Methods: In this clinical study, 69 patients (between the ages of 22 to 42) with manifestation of joint hypermobility were included and Computed tomography were administered for both TMJs. The patients were divided into three groups based on their maximum mouth opening (MMO): (A) with MMO of 50-55 mm; (B) with MMO between 55 to 65 mm; and (C) with MMO >65 mm. Also, 15 healthy …
Pancreatitis aguda necrótico-hemorrágica: propósito de dos autopsias judiciales
2015
la pancreatitis necrótico-hemorrágica, es una complicación inusual y altamente mortal en los casos de inflamación de la glándula pancreática. El diagnóstico es de sospecha clínica apoyado por pruebas de laboratorio y de radiodiagnóstico. Constituye una causa excepcional de muerte súbita. Pero esta forma de presentación de pancreatitis sólo puede ser confirmada mediante el estudio anatomopatológico de la glándula, del cual se dispone en raras ocasiones. Exponemos los hallazgos macroscópicos de dos casos mortales de Pancreatitis Aguda Necro-Hemorrágica. hemorrhagic and necrotizing pancreatitis, is an unusual and highly lethal complication in cases of inflammation of the pancreatic gland. The …
Solitary keratoacanthoma involving upper lip: a diagnostic dilemma - case report and a brief review
2010
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a benign epithelial proliferative lesion which frequently occurs on the sun exposed areas of the skin. KA originates within the pilosebaceous apparatus of the skin and may be solitary or multiple. Solitary KA can be difficult to differentiate from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) both clinically and microscopically. However, the clinical course of the lesion and its ability to self involute makes it a distinct clinical entity. Solitary KA appears on the vermilion border of the lower lips with some frequency. A case of keratoacanthoma involving the upper lip is reported presenting as an exophytic growth that resolved after excisional biopsy. Photo- graphic documentation …

Downregulation of KLF8 expression by shRNA induces inhibition of cell proliferation in CAL27 human oral cancer cells
2013
Objectives: KLF8 is a member of KLF transcription factors which play an important tolr in oncogenesis. It is barely expressed in normal human epithelial cells but highly overexpressed in several types of human cancer cell lines. In the present study, we investigate the role of KLF8 in oral cancer and the effects of KLF8 knockdown via lentivirus mediated siRNA infection in human adenosquamos carcinoma CAL 27 cells. Study Design: �e developed a vector-based siRNA expression system that can induce RNAi in CAL 27 oral canDesign: �e developed a vector-based siRNA expression system that can induce RNAi in CAL 27 oral canesign: �e developed a vector-based siRNA expression system that can induce RN…
Oral submucous fibrosis a disease with malignant potential: report of two Cases
2010
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a high risk precancerous condition characterized by changes in the connective tissue fibers of the lamina propria and deeper parts leading to stiffness of the mucosa and restricted mouth opening. Patients with severe cases have distinct difficulties in chewing, swallowing and speaking. It predominantly occurs in Indians and other population of the Indian subcontinent with certain oral habits. In patients with submucous fibrosis, the oral epithelium becomes atrophic and thereby becomes more vulnerable to carcinogens. It is now accepted that chewing areca is the most important aetiological factor for developing OSF. The atrophic epithelium shows first an inter…
