Marsupialization of a large dentigerous cyst in the mandible with orthodontic extrusion of three impacted teeth. A case report
2017
The dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst. It is usually asymptomatic and associated with the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. However, after a long duration, it is likely to cause significant bone resorption, cortical expansion, and tooth displacement. This report presents a large infected DC in the mandible of a 12-year-old female patient. The DC was located inferior to badly decayed primary molars and surrounded three impacted permanent teeth: canine, first premolar, which had a dilacerated root, and second premolar. The DC was treated successfully by marsupialization and extrusion of the impacted teeth. In conclusion, the combination of …

However, current dual-task tests appear to be insufficient for early diagnosi…
Anti-senescence and Anti-inflammatory Effects of the C-terminal Moiety of PTHrP Peptides in OA Osteoblasts.
2016
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by degenerative changes in the whole joint leading to physical disability in the elderly population. This condition is associated with altered bone metabolism in subchondral areas suggesting that therapeutic strategies aimed at modifying bone cell metabolism may be of interest. We have investigated the effects of several parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-derived peptides (1-37): (N-terminal), (107-111) and (107-139) (C-terminal) on senescence features induced by inflammatory stress in human OA osteoblasts. Incubation of these primary cells with interleukin(IL)-1β led to an increased expression of senescence markers senescence-associated-β-galac…
Changes in spinal range of motion after a flexibility training program in elderly women
2014
Giuseppe Battaglia,1,2 Marianna Bellafiore,1,2 Giovanni Caramazza,2 Antonio Paoli,3 Antonino Bianco,1,2 Antonio Palma1,2 1Department of Law, Society, and Sport Sciences, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy; 2Sicilian Regional Sports School of Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), Sicily, Italy; 3Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Padova, Padova, Italy Background: Aging-related reduced spinal mobility can interfere with the execution of important functional skills and activities in elderly women. Although several studies have shown positive outcomes in response to spinal flexibility training programs, little is known about the management of sets and repetitions in traini…
COVID‐19 in older adults: What are the differences with younger patients?
2020
Aim The present study aimed both to gain knowledge on the distinctive clinical characteristics of older adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), in comparison with those of younger patients, and to identify risk factors for mortality. Methods A retrospective observational study was carried out of patients consecutively admitted to Doctor Peset University Hospital, Valencia (Spain) for COVID‐19 from 11 March to 28 April 2020. Every case was diagnosed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or by serology test to detect antibodies. Demographic details, clinical characteristics, laboratory findings on admission and complications of each case were collected from electronic me…
Vanhenemismuutosten eteneminen : 75-vuotiaiden henkilöiden antropometristen ominaisuuksien, fyysisen toimintakyvyn ja kognitiivisen kyvykkyyden muuto…
2004
Vanhenemismuutosten eteneminen ikävuosien 75 ja 85 välillä on ominaispiirteiltään erityislaatuista. Vanhenemiselle on tyypillistä suuri vaihtelevuus niin eri yksilöiden välillä kuin yksilön sisäisesti. Muutosten erot eivät ilmene ainoastaan eroina tulosten tasoissa, vaan myös vanhenemismuutosten etenemisen suuntien suhteen. Eri toiminnoissa havaittava muutos voi olla heikentymistä, mutta myös omalla tasolla pysymistä tai toimintakyvyn paranemista vielä korkeassakin iässä, huomasi Sari Ranta väitöstutkimuksessaan. This study aimed at describing both intra-individual and inter-individual variation of age-related changes in anthropometrical characteristics and physical and cognitive capacities…
Senioru dzīves kvalitātes uzlabošana ilgstošās sociālās aprūpes institūcijā
2021
Diplomdarba tēma ir “Senioru dzīves kvalitātes uzlabošana ilgstošās sociālās aprūpes institūcijā.” Darba mērķis ir analizēt teorētisko sociālā darba bāzi, atklāt faktorus, kas rada dehumanizācijas riskus un raksturot dzīves kvalitāti aprūpes institūcijā. Pētījums atklāj, ka pastāv dehumanizācijas riski sociālās aprūpes institūcijā un ieviešot normalizācijas principus sociālās aprūpes institūciju darbībā ir iespēja paaugstināt senioru dzīves kvalitāti, nodrošinot veiksmīgu novecošanos. Empīriskā pētījuma veikšanai izvēlētas divas pētniecības pieejas: kvantitatīvā un kvalitatīvā. Pētījumā izmantotas jauktās pētījuma metodes, pie datu analīzes triangulējot pētījuma datus.
