Editorial: CBCT special issue
2014
In the dental community, it is a common belief that CBCT was invented for oral and maxillofacial imaging. Of course, we know that this is a myth since the technique of a volumetric CT is indeed much older and dates back to the late 1970s.1,2 Considering that CT was introduced in 1973, its volumetric counterpart was developed very soon thereafter driven by the need for high spatial and temporal resolution that a conventional CT at that time was not able to achieve. However, successful marketing of the technique indeed was much later, and certainly a consequence of the publication of “A new volumetric CT machine for dental imaging based on the cone-beam technique: preliminary results” by Mozz…
AB0996 Rheumathologic Diseases in Adolescence: Psychological Profile of a Difficult Age
2015
Background Chronic disease significantly interfere with the quality of life at every age, expecially in a period of life characterized by the need to assume a role in the society and the research of a specific identity. The personal image is often destroyed by the disease, the long term sequelae of pharmacological treatment. Adolescents are frequently obligated to quit many possibilities of experience with peers. Objectives We realized a plurispecialistic approach to adolescents with rheumatologic diseases, with the figures of neuropsychiatric, psychologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, to give an answer to the complex requests of these patients. Methods We evaluated 20 patients with…
Validation of the Cycling Behavior Questionnaire: A tool for measuring cyclists' road behaviors
2018
Abstract Introduction Even though cycling is an activity whose benefits in terms of urban mobility and health are globally recognized, its disproportional growth during the past few decades has led to some unexpected dynamics. In fact, the increasing number of traffic injuries and deaths involving cyclists has a high cost for public health systems. Considering the available empirical evidence, aberrant and positive behaviors on the road constitute relevant predictors for the injuries suffered by road users. Nevertheless, the scarcity of tools that measure and evaluate the behavior of road users, especially in the case of cyclists, constitutes a serious lack in terms of explaining, interveni…
Cytokine expression and antigen-presenting capacity of 4F7 + dendritic cells derived from dermis, spleen, and lymph nodes
1997
We took advantage of the recently generated 4F7 mAb, which recognizes an epitope expressed on dendritic cells (DC) from different tissues, to freshly isolate and positively sort for these cells and to characterize their cytokine pattern and antigen-presenting capacity in comparison with epidermal Langerhans cells (LC). RT-PCR and Northern blot analyses demonstrated constitutive mRNA expression of MIP-1 gamma, MIP-1 alpha, C10, and IL-1 beta in both 4F7+ DC and LC. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment resulted in the upregulation of mRNA expression of all four cytokines and in a newly detected signal for TNF alpha. Immunoblot analysis showed constitutive secretion of MIP-1 gamma, with LPS trea…
Mobile diary for wellness management--results on usage and usability in two user studies.
2008
The prevalence of lifestyle-related health problems is increasing rapidly. Many of the diseases and health risks could be prevented or alleviated by making changes toward healthier lifestyles. We have developed the Wellness Diary (WD), a concept for personal and mobile wellness management based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Two implementations of the concept were made for the Symbian Series 60 (S60) mobile phone platform, and their usability, usage, and acceptance were studied in two 3-month user studies. Study I was related to weight management and study II to general wellness management. In both the studies, the concept and its implementations were well accepted and considered as…
Mitochondrial cannabinoid receptors gate corticosterone impact on novel object recognition
2023
: Corticosteroid-mediated stress responses require the activation of complex brain circuits involving mitochondrial activity, but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are scantly known. The endocannabinoid system is implicated in stress coping, and it can directly regulate brain mitochondrial functions via type 1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptors associated with mitochondrial membranes (mtCB1). In this study, we show that the impairing effect of corticosterone in the novel object recognition (NOR) task in mice requires mtCB1 receptors and the regulation of mitochondrial calcium levels in neurons. Different brain circuits are modulated by this mechanism to mediate the impact of cortico…
Análisis del la relación del genotipado y marcadores de estrés oxidativo con la presencia y grado de vasculopatía periférica en pacientes con diabete…
2014
RESUMEN: Padecer diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) ejerce un efecto independiente y multiplicador en la incidencia de complicaciones vasculares, añadido a la presencia de factores de riesgo clásicos. No todos los diabéticos desarrollan con la misma gravedad la vasculopatía periférica (VP). Este riesgo está presente en la fase de prediabetes, donde las complicaciones vasculares pueden preceder a la aparición de la propia diabetes. La biología vascular ha puesto de manifiesto la participación de otros factores como el estrés oxidativo (EO) y el estado crónico inflamatorio en el incremento de este riesgo. Los principales sistemas conocidos de EO a nivel endotelial generan especies reactivas de oxígeno. Pa…
Identificación de los factores clínico-patológicos relacionados con la obtención de la respuesta completa patológica en pacientes con cáncer de mama …
2019
El objetivo primario de esta tesis es la validación externa de in índice de evaluación de la respuesta patológica tras la administración de quimioterapia neoadyuvante denominado Residual Cancer Burden y su comparación con otros sistemas de valoración de la respuesta patológica, el RDBN y el Sistema Miller & Payne.Este trabajo ha permitido demostrar que RCB es in factor pronóstico independiente relacionado con la supervivencia global y la supervivencia libre de enfermedad, tanto en el aálisis univariante como multivariante. Además, RCB ha demostrado tener in mayor valor pronóstico en relación con SG y SLE en comparación con RDBN y el Sistema de Miller & Payne, siendo estas diferencias estadí…
Nerezidentu noguldījumi Latvijas komercbankās: tendences un riski
2016
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Nerezidentu noguldījumi Latvijas komercbankās- tendences un riski”. Darba mērķis ir analizējot Latvijas likumdošanu, noguldījumu portfeli un tā segmetus, kā arī nerezidentu noguldījumu tendences un riskus laika periodā no 2009.līdz 2015.gadam, secināt kādas ir iespējas un tai pašā laikā draudi saistīti ar nerezidentu noguldījumiem, kā arī izstrādāt priekšlikumus noguldījumu piesaistei komercbankās un ar nerezidentu noguldījumiem saistīto risku mazināšanai. Darbs sastāv no 3 nodaļām un 8 apakšnodaļām. Pirmajā nodaļā apskatīts noguldījumu teorētiskais raksturojums. Otrajā nodaļā tiek analizēts noguldījumu portfelis Latvijas komercbankās. Trešajā nodaļā analizētas nere…
Noguldījumu analīze AS "Swedbank"
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma, „Noguldījumu analīze AS Swedbank” ir aktuāla, jo tā parāda komercbanku atkarību no piesaistītajiem resursiem, šajā gadījumā no noguldījumiem. Šo darba tēmu autore izvēlējas, jo uzskata, ka noguldījumu apjoma palielinājums bankā ir cieši saistīts ar ekonomisko attīstību Latvijā. Darba mērķis ir uz AS „Swedbank”, kā arī autores izvēlēto komercbanku noguldījumu datu izpētes un analīzes pamata, izdarīt secinājumus par Latvijas komercbanku noguldījumu struktūru kā arī izstrādāt priekšlikumus noguldījumu piesaistīšanas pilnveidošanai. Darba gaitā autore veica Latvijas komercbanku noguldījumu teorētisko un praktisko analīzi, pirmajā daļā autore izvērtēja komercbanku noguldīju…
