Non-healing tongue ulcer in a rheumatoid arthritis patient medicated with leflunomide. An adverse drug event?
2017
Leflunomide is a member of the disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs group used as a treatment modality in active rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. “Oral ulcers” are reported in 3-5% of leflunomide medicated rheumatoid arthritis patients with adverse events, but they are not described in detail in the literature. We present a case of an ulcer in the tongue of a rheumatoid arthritis patient managed with leflunomide and contemplate on its pathogenesis. Key words:Leflunomide, oral ulcer, DHODH.
Hippocampal event-related potentials to pitch deviances in an auditory oddball situation in the cat: experiment I.
1995
Hippocampal event-related potentials (ERP) in the areas CA1, CA3, and dentate fascia (Df) were recorded in cats during an oddball situation when pitch deviant tones occurred in a series of standard tones. When difference waves were calculated by subtracting ERPs to the standard tones from those to the deviant tones, no clear N40d, corresponding to a cat analogue of the human mismatch negativity (MMN) observed in earlier studies, could be detected. Instead, a prominent later negativity (N130d) was observed. A possible extra-hippocampal source of the process reflected by the MMN-like negativity, and a relation between an orienting response (OR) and the N130d are discussed.
Explicit behavioral detection of visual changes develops without their implicit neurophysiological detectability
2012
Change blindness is a failure of reporting major changes across consecutive images if separated, e.g., by a brief blank interval. Successful change detection across interrupts requires focal attention to the changes. However, findings of implicit detection of visual changes during change blindness have raised the question of whether the implicit mode is necessary for development of the explicit mode. To this end, we recorded the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) of the event-related potentials (ERPs) of the brain, an index of implicit pre-attentive visual change detection, in adult humans performing an oddball-variant of change blindness flicker task. Images of 500 ms in duration were prese…
Event-related potentials reveal rapid registration of features of infrequent changes during change blindness
2010
Background. Change blindness refers to a failure to detect changes between consecutively presented images separated by, for example, a brief blank screen. As an explanation of change blindness, it has been suggested that our representations of the environment are sparse outside focal attention and even that changed features may not be represented at all. In order to find electrophysiological evidence of neural representations of changed features during change blindness, we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) in adults in an oddball variant of the change blindness flicker paradigm. Methods. ERPs were recorded when subjects performed a change detection task in which the modified images w…
Opieka koordynowana po zawale serca. Stanowisko Polskiego Towarzystwa Kardiologicznego oraz Agencji Oceny Technologii Medycznych i Taryfikacji
2016
The in-hospital mortality following myocardial infarction has decreased substantially over the last two decades in Poland. However, according to the available evidence approximately every 10th patient discharged after myocardial infarction (MI) dies during next 12 months. We identified the most important barriers (e.g. insufficient risk factors control, insufficient and delayed cardiac rehabilitation, suboptimal pharmacotherapy, delayed complete myocardial revascularisation) and proposed a new nation-wide system of coordinated care after MI. The system should consist of four modules: complete revascularisation, education and rehabilitation programme, electrotherapy (including ICDs and BiVs …
Jalkojen voiman yhteys mäkijuoksukykyyn ja aerobisen kynnyksen taloudellisuuteen nuorilla suunnistajilla
2011
Suunnistus on intervallityyppinen laji, jossa suorituksen kuormittavuus vaihtelee sekä maaston muotojen, että suunnistusteknisten haasteiden mukaan. Suunnistajalla pitää siis olla hyvä, monipuolinen fyysinen suorituskyky. Urheilijalta vaaditaan niin aerobista kestävyyttä kuin hermolihasjärjestelmän toimintaakin. Myös suunnistuksessa, taloudellisuus on merkitsevä tekijä suorituksessa. Hyvä maksimaalinen hapenottokyky ei suunnistajalla ole ratkaisevin tekijä, hyvä taloudellisuus voi olla yhtä merkittävä. Maksimaalisen ja räjähtävän voimaharjoittelun on monissa tutkimuksissa todettu parantavan etenkin juoksun taloudellisuutta. On myös osoitettu, että maksimivoima- ja kestävyysharjoittelun yhdi…
Incitations à l’offre de prévention et préférences en médecine générale : l’apport de la méthode DCE
2012
L’objectif de cet article est de contribuer à la compréhension des préférences des médecins pour différents dispositifs, financiers ou non, susceptibles d’être implantés en France afin de favoriser la prévention en médecine de ville. La méthode du Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) est mobilisée à travers une enquête menée auprès de 1 396 médecins qui permet d’analyser 3 390 observations. L’estimation économétrique de la fonction d’utilité des médecins est conduite dans le cadre d’un modèle Logit conditionnel, des dispositions à payer marginales sont également calculées. Nos résultats montrent que, si l’aspect financier est important dans les préférences des médecins, les aspects non financie…
LE BÉNÉVOLAT POUR DES ÉVÉNEMENTS SPÉCIAUX: COMPARAISON ENTRE LA VALEUR ATTENDUE ET LA VALEUR PERÇUE
2016
Resumen: El fenómeno del voluntariado, como parte del sector no-lucrativo, puede ser estudiado desde una perspectiva de marketing como un comportamiento de consumo en el contexto de la realización de eventos especiales. En este estudio se busca explorar la dimensionalidad de la experiencia de ser voluntario en un megaevento religioso a través del concepto valor analizado con un enfoque diacrónico: pre-uso (valor esperado) vs. post-uso (valor percibido). Para ello, proponemos un estudio longitudinal sobre 711 voluntarios a través de dos análisis de componentes principales diferentes, antes y después del evento, sobre las mismas escalas de las dimensiones de valor. La estructura propuesta es …
El TDHA a través de narraciones ilustradas
2018
A través de esta propuesta pretendemos contribuir a la atención educativa de los alumnos de Educación Infantil que muestran un patrón conductual compatible con el diagnóstico del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH), desde un enfoque preventivo, estimulando el análisis y la reflexión sobre determinados comportamientos mediante el género narrativo, por su valor educativo en esta etapa. Los alumnos de Educación Infantil se encuentran en un momento madurativo de fascinación natural hacia la escucha de narraciones. Presentamos una propuesta basada en narraciones ilustradas, ideadas y elaboradas por alumnos del Grado en Educación Infantil de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Her…
Chemopreventive and Anticancer Role of Resveratrol against Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
2023
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevailing and aggressive head and neck cancers, featuring high morbidity and mortality. The available conventional treatments suffer from several adverse effects and are often inefficient in terms of their survival rates. Thus, seeking novel therapeutic agents and adjuvants is of the utmost importance for modern society. Natural polyphenolic compounds have recently emerged as promising chemopreventive and anticancer agents. Specifically, the natural compound resveratrol (RSV) has recently gained momentum for this purpose. RSV is useful for treating OSCC due to its antiproliferative, antimetastatic, and proapoptotic effects. Additionall…
