Irritative and sensory disturbances in oral implantology. Literature review.
2010
The aim of this study was to review irritative and sensory disturbances following placement of dental implants. A literature search was made of PubMed for articles published between 2000 and 2010. Studies that reported sensory disturbances directly caused by the placement of dental implants were included. Sensory deficits or trigeminal neuropathy are caused by damage to the third branch of the trigeminal nerve du-ring surgery. This manifests in the immediate postoperative period as a sensory deficit not usually associated with pain and generally transient. The literature reviewed reported irritative and sensory disturbances caused during surgery, after surgery, and as a result of complicati…
Idiopathic trigeminal sensory neuropathy with gadolinium enhancement in the cisternal segment
2000
The authors report two patients with idiopathic trigeminal sensory neuropathy who showed gadolinium enhancement of the cisternal segment of the corresponding trigeminal nerve in cranial MRI. The resolution of these lesions in a repeat MRI suggests a similarity to Bell's palsy.
Functional Anatomy of the Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus
1993
The trigeminal nerve (nV) conveys general somatic afferent exteroceptive input from the skin of the face and the frontal parts of the head, the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, tongue and nose, the tooth pulp, eye and meninges via the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglion to the nuclei of termination [28]. Somatosensory input reaches the principal sensory nucleus of the nV and the spinal trigeminal nucleus of the nV (STN). Proprioceptive input from masticatory muscles innervated by trigeminal motor efferents is transferred to the nV mesencephalic nucleus.
Efficient two-step synthesis of water soluble BODIPY–TREN chemosensors for copper(II) ions
2017
Two simple fluorescent sensors for Cu(II) ions were synthesized in two reaction steps, using recently developed C–H functionalization reactions for boron dipyrrins, starting from a standard 8-aryl-BODIPY dye and a tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) ligand. At pH 5, the resulting BODIPY–TREN conjugates are demonstrated to be promising, highly selective, water soluble, Cu(II) sensors that can permeate the cell membrane. crosscheck: This document is CrossCheck deposited related_data: Supplementary Information identifier: Bram Verbelen (ORCID) identifier: Wim Dehaen (ORCID) copyright_licence: The Royal Society of Chemistry has an exclusive publication licence for this journal copyright_licence: Thi…
Recent advances on aptamer-based biosensors to detection of platelet-derived growth factor.
2018
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), a significant serum cytokine, is an important protein biomarker in diagnosis and recognition of cancer, which straightly rolled in proceeding of various cell transformations, including tumor growth and its development. Fibrosis, atherosclerosis are certain appalling diseases, which PDGF-BB is near to them. Generally, the expression amount of PDGF-BB increases in human life-threatening tumors serving as an indicator for tumor angiogenesis. Thus, identification and quantification of PDGF-BB in biomedical fields are particularly important. Affinity chromatography, immunohistochemical methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), conventional m…
Radiometric Partial Discharge Detection: A Review
2023
One of the most common failures or breakdowns that can occur in high-voltage (HV) equipment is due to partial discharges (PDs). This occurs as a result of inadequate insulation, aging, harsh environmental effects, or manufacturing flaws. PD detection and recognition methods have gained growing attention and have seen great progress in the past decades. Radiometric methods are one of the most investigated detection approaches due to their immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and their capabilities to detect and locate PD activities in different applications such as transformers, cables, etc. Several review articles have been published to classify and categorize these works. Nonethe…
Development of a polarimetric based optical biosensor using a free standing porous membrane
2013
The first published paper entitled Birefringent porous silicon membranes for optical sensing presents the results of the investigation on free standing silicon membranes prepared from p-type (110) surface oriented silicon as a material for optical biosensing. The birefringence and sensitivity of this type of porous membrane is theoretically simulated using the Bruggeman model which is extended to incorporate the influence that silicon oxidation has on both birefringence and sensitivity. Using this extended theoretical model a good agreement is found between the measured sensitivity values and the theoretical ones. The final section of this chapter describes the development of a statistical …
Towards portability in analytical chemistry: New tools
2023
Desde principios de siglo los cambios en la sociedad, la investigación de nuevos (nano)materiales y la aparición de internet y de nuevas tecnologías han sido tres pilares fundamentales en los que se ha basado el desarrollo de la química analítica. Gracias a los recientes avances tecnológicos se ha generado un gran impulso hacia la creación de nuevas herramientas y dispositivos. Esto, junto con la evolución en la informática ha conllevado a la automatización y miniaturización de los sistemas analíticos, reduciendo los tiempos de análisis y mejorando los resultados obtenidos. Una de las exigencias a tener en cuenta dentro de la química actual es aproximarla a los calificativos sostenible y ve…
Development of new strategies for the design of in situanalysis devices: nano and biomaterials
2021
La Tesis describe el concepto de análisis in situ y biomateriales que han dado lugar al desarrollo de varios dispositivos de análisis in situ. Estos dispositivos se basan principalmente en la inmovilización de reactivos en soportes sólidos. Se han empleado nano y (bio) materiales en el desarrollo de varios (bio) sensores o kits. Para el desarrollo de los dispositivos se consideraron los siguientes dos puntos críticos: i) la selección de los materiales de soporte donde tiene lugar la inmovilización de los reactivos, ii) la reacción involucrada en el procedimiento. Es importante estudiar la reacción entre el material y los reactivos para comprender la liberación del reactivo a la disolución o…
UHF RFID humidity sensor tag based on hygroscopic polymeric load
2012
Passive UHF RFID tags, beside item labelling, are also able to exploit capability of sensing the physical state of the tagged object as well as of the surrounding environment. Here a family of polymer-doped tags are proposed and fully characterized for the detection of ambient humidity. A sensitive chemical species based on PEDOT: PSS is used to dope a properly shaped slot carved into a folded-like patch tag. The sensing capabilities of the radio-sensor are investigated by means of measurements for different quantities of sensitive material and in cyclic exposures. The device could have interesting application in the assessment of the air quality in living and controlled rooms, in the monit…
