MTA apical barrier: In vitro study of the use of ultrasonic vibration
2016
Background: The apexification is the first alternative treatment on a permanent tooth when, after a tooth trauma and in the presence of immature apex trauma, pulp necrosis occurs. Many studies have demonstrated the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as apical sealing material of choice in these cases, but has a degree of filtration as all other materials. The objective of this study was to analyze the seal ability of MTA on the duct walls in immature teeth unirradicular apexes, using indirect vibration. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 45 teeth divided into 3 groups: Group A or control group in which no vibration for placing the MTA was used, Group B and C or group…
Changes in a patient with neck pain after application of ischemic compression as a trigger point therapy
2010
Objective To describe the immediate effects of ischemic compression (IC) as a trigger point therapy in a case of a patient with neck pain. The application of IC is a safe and effective method to successfully treat elicited myofascial trigger points. The purpose of this method is to deliberate the blockage of blood in a trigger point area in order to increase local blood flow. This washes away waste products, supplies necessary oxygen and helps the affected tissue to heal. In this case study, we treated a 27-year-old female patient with a medical report of neck pain for at least four months. The physical examination revealed a neck pain and stiffness at the left side and pain increases when …
Lyrics against images: music and audio description
2012
Music has been an integral part of films from as far back as the silent movie era, where a piano accompaniment was used to build the narrative and an orchestra was used to drown out the sound of the projector. Music in films can encompass a wide array of elements, from a song to a whistle, and can play many roles, as has been commented upon by many researchers. Due to the relevance of music in film narrative, it is an element which merits attention when it comes to making a film accessible, be it through Audio description, Audio subtitling, Sign Language or Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing. This article focuses on Audio description (AD) and how music is handled in audio described…
Política del ruido. En los límites de la comunicación musical
2016
Este artículo se basa en la idea de cómo la comunicación musical activa no solo elementos musicales sino culturales y sociales. Como práctica social, la música muestra tanto su poder comunicativo como los límites de la comunicación (entendida como un intercambio de mensajes y significados). En este sentido, el ruido se presenta como un factor de disrupción en el circuito semiótico y en las relaciones sociales. La cuestión del ruido se trata como un aspecto liminar del sonido y la música, como puede observarse en diversos ejemplos tomados de la vanguardia (ruidismo) hasta la música popular contemporánea (noise), pasando por géneros musicales particulares como el punk-rock o la música tecno.
Estudio de fracciones en contextos sonoros
2016
En este ensayo resaltamos los vínculos cognitivos entre las matemáticas y la música, que pueden favorecer procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las fracciones en la matemática escolar. Las actividades exhibidas provienen de una investigación que promueve experiencias sensoriales en el campo rítmico para favorecer la construcción de nociones matemáticas. Dichas actividades posibilitan un engranaje armónico entre las matemáticas y la música convergentes en el tiempo y el sonido como los objetos de estudio común entre éstas disciplinas. El análisis de la investigación que aquí reportamos es producto de la aplicación de las actividades en diferentes programas de formación de profesorado de Méx…
Development of an ultrasound-based muscle texture analysis as a potential imaging biomarker for frailty phenotype
2018
Las herramientas habituales para evaluar la fragilidad muestran, entre otras características, una baja sensibilidad y un bajo valor predictivo positivo. Es por eso que, en este estudio prospectivo-retrospectivo, nos preguntamos si es posible identificar y desarrollar biomarcadores cuantitativos a partir de imágenes de ultrasonido muscular, para la identificación de sujetos con riesgo de fragilidad. Para ello utlilizamos el análisis de textura de ecointensidad con ayuda del aprendizaje automático (machine learning, en inglés) como enfoque experimental para responder a esta pregunta. El proyecto se desarrolló en consulta externa, donde se realizó la ecografía muscular. Al final de la adquisic…
Ultrasound imaging assessment of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles in people with a recent history of moderate Covid-19 infection and healthy parti…
2023
Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is a highly infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is associated with a decrease of respiratory, physical, and psychological function, subsequently affecting quality of life. The aim of the present pilot study was to use ultrasound imaging (USI) to evaluate and compare the thickness of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles between individuals recently diagnosed with moderate Covid-19 infection and healthy individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional observational pilot study was performed. A total sample of 24 participants were recruited from a private medical center (Madrid, Spain): Covid-19 (n = 12) and healthy controls (n = 12). The external oblique…
Deformable object segmentation in ultra-sound images
2013
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer being the leading cause of cancer death among females both in western and in economically developing countries. Medical imaging is key for early detection, diagnosis and treatment follow-up. Despite Digital Mammography (DM) remains the reference imaging modality, Ultra-Sound (US) imaging has proven to be a successful adjunct image modality for breast cancer screening, specially as a consequence of the discriminative capabilities that US offers for differentiating between solid lesions that are benign or malignant. Despite US usability,US suffers inconveniences due to its natural noise that compromises the diagnosis capabilities of radio…
La sensación sonora y visual del mar en la pintura valenciana de finales del siglo XIX
2010
This work presents an interpretation from a phenomenological point of view of the visual and sonorous experience on the perception of the sea in the context of XIX century Valencian painting. The use of senses to generate images of the sea establishes a network of links between them that plays a key role in the comprehension and interpretation of its image. The analysis starts from the identification of an autonomous and separated poetics of the sea, focusing on the study of its immensity from the different points of view that its contemplation presents. It ends on the interpretation of the sonorous and mobile potentiality of its matter. The study has identified in the chosen images of the …
Del lenguaje a la escucha.
2020
Este artículo aborda el estudio del lenguaje entendido como sistema de signos para, desde una perspectiva crítica, proponer una concepción práctica y dialógica de la interacción comunicativa. Se pone énfasis en la cuestión de la escucha como eje principal desde el que reenmarcar la consideración del lenguaje como práctica social sin reducirlo a un enfoque monológico. La escucha, así, se propone como una forma de apertura y de desvío creativo, polémico, con implicaciones tanto en relación con la función poética del lenguaje como con su dimensión política. This article deals with the study of language understood as a system of signs to, from a critical perspective, propose a practical and dia…
