Abstract Peer review is not only a quality screening mechanism for scholarly journals. It also connects authors and referees either directly or indirectly. This means that their positions in the network structure of the community could influence the process, while peer review could in turn influence subsequent networking and collaboration. This paper aims to map these complex network implications by looking at 2232 author/referee couples in an interdisciplinary journal that uses double blind peer review. By reconstructing temporal co-authorship networks, we found that referees tended to recommend more positively submissions by authors who were within three steps in their collaboration netwo…
Satisfaction in complete denture wearers with and without adhesives: A randomized, crossover, double-blind clinical trial
2018
Background The purpose of this study was to compare the satisfaction of patients regarding retention, stability and accumulation of particles with a randomized, double-blind crossed method in users with complete dentures with and without adhesive. Material and Methods Seventeen edentulous individuals were randomized and received new upper and lower complete dentures. After a period of adaptation, they participated in some masticatory tests and clinical revisions, after use the protheses with and without the use of two denture adhesives: Adhesive A (Fittydent, Fittydent International GmbH) and adhesive B (Corega, GlaxoSmithKline) at 0, 7 and 14 days. Satisfaction was measured immediately aft…

Small-diameter titanium Grade IV and titanium-zirconium implants in edentulous mandibles: three-year results from a double-blind, randomized controll…
2015
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare crestal bone-level changes, soft tissue parameters and implant success and survival between small-diameter implants made of titanium/zirconium (TiZr) alloy or of Grade IV titanium (Ti) in edentulous mandibles restored with removable overdentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a randomized, controlled, double-blind, split-mouth multicenter clinical trial. Patients with edentulous mandibles received two Straumann bone-level implants (diameter 3.3 mm), one of Ti Grade IV (control) and one of TiZr (test), in the interforaminal region. Implants were loaded after 6-8 weeks and removable Locator-retained overdentures were placed within 2 weeks of l…
Small-diameter titanium grade IV and titanium-zirconium implants in edentulous mandibles: five-year results from a double-blind, randomized controlle…
2015
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the 5-year survival and success rates of 3.3 mm dental implants either made from titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloy or from Grade IV titanium (Ti Grade IV) in mandibular implant-based removable overdentures. METHODS The core study had a follow-up period of 36 months and was designed as a randomized, controlled, double-blind, split-mouth multicenter clinical trial. Patients with edentulous mandibles received two Straumann Bone Level implants (diameter 3.3 mm, SLActive®), one of TiZr (test) and one of Ti Grade IV (control), in the interforaminal region. This follow-up study recruited patients from the core study and evaluated the plaque and sulcus …
REDUCTION OF CHOLESTEROL WITH NUTRACEUTICAL: RESULTS OF A DOUBLE BLIND STUDY
2013
A large body of evidence has demonstrated that LDL-C reduction by statins decrease cardiovascular risk. Statin treatment may also lead to non-lipid effects which may improve vascular protection, including an amelioration of endothelial function. On the other hand, despite a good tolerability demonstrated by several studies, statin treatment may lead to side effects, in particular when higher dosages are used. Alternative hypolipidemic treatments are nutraceuticals which are a food, or part of a food, that provides medical bene ts. Due to the low ef cacy associated to a high tolerability, patients with mild or moderate risk and/or statin-intolerant subjects are the best target of nutraceutic…

Considerations to the policy of future clinical therapeutic trials in DMD.

In spite of rapidly increasing insight into the molecular basis of neuromuscular diseases, treatment still relies on convention and clinical studies. Experience with a multicentre double blind treatment study in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and with consecutive steroid treatment documentation for up to 8 years enables us to identify a series of crucial points on which to focus while planning such clinical trials. The most important seem to be: a carefully structured, detailed study, clear-cut aims and objectives, expertise of investigators, sufficient training of examiners, and careful monitoring. If patients with neuromuscular diseases are treated outside structured studies, their course sh…
