Toward evidence-based severity assessment in rat models with repeated seizures: I. Electrical kindling
2018
Objective: Rodent epilepsy models can significantly contribute to our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and to validation of biomarker and target candidates. Evidence-based severity assessment is a presupposition for the ethical evaluation of animal experimentation allowances as well as for the development of efficacious refinement concepts. Methods: Aiming to improve our understanding of the impact of experimental procedures and repeated seizures, we have completed a comprehensive behavioral and biochemical analysis assessing various parameters that can inform about the influence of an electrical kindling paradigm on well-being in rats. Thereby, we have focused on the immediat…
Induced Dipoles and Possible Modulation of Wireless Effects in Implanted Electrodes. Effects of Implanting Insulated Electrodes on an Animal Test to …
2021
There is evidence that Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) produces health benefits in patients even before initiating stimulation. Furthermore, DBS electrode insertion in rat infralimbic cortex (ILC) provokes antidepressant-like effects before stimulation, due to local inflammation and astrogliosis. Consequently, a significant effect of implanting electrodes is suspected. External fields, similar in magnitude to the brain’s endogenous fields, induce electric dipoles in conducting materials, in turn influencing neural cell growth through wireless effects. To elucidate if such dipoles influence depressive-like behavior, without external stimulation, the comparative effect of conducting and insulate…
Comportamiento clínico y radiológico de 290 implantes con superficie tratada mediante un primer grabado de ácido fluorhídrico y un segundo de ácido f…
2005
Objetivo: El presente trabajo ofrece los resultados sobre el comportamiento clínico y radiográfico, durante dos años, de 290 implantes tratados con un primer grabado de HF y un segundo de HF y HNO3 y que fueron sometidos a carga protética a las ocho semanas de su inserción. Diseño del estudio: Se trata de un estudio observacional prospectivo sobre 290 implantes colocados en 56 pacientes con un rango de edad entre 28 y 81 años. La selección se hizo previo estudio radiológico de proyecciones panorámica y tomográfica para realizar posteriormente el tratamiento implantológico con carga protésica y control evolutivo clínico (15 días, 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 y 24 meses) y radiológico (12 y 24 meses). Res…
Peri-Implant Behavior of Tissue Level Dental Implants with a Convergent Neck
2021
Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the radiographic peri-implant bone loss of bone level implants and tissue level implants with a convergent neck in screw-retained single crowns and in screw-retained fixed partial prostheses, after two years of functional loading. Materials and methods: The sample was divided into two groups according to their type: Group I: supracrestal implants with convergent transmucosal neck
Estudio comparativo in vitro de distintos métodos de extracción de tornillos fracturados en implantes
2022
En los tratamientos sobre implantes, pueden aparecer complicaciones como la fractura de los tornillos que sujetan las prótesis que van sobre ellos. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue evaluar in vitro la efectividad de los sistemas mecánicos de extracción de tornillos fracturados en implanto-prótesis. Material y Método: Se utilizaron 180 muestras que consistían en un implante de conexión interna Sweden&Martina® con un pilar prefabricado de titanio Sweden&Martina®, que se atornillaba al implante con un tornillo de titanio, de la misma casa comercial. Cada una de las muestras fue sometida a una carga cíclica y posteriormente a una carga de compresión hasta conseguir la fractura de…
Chronic sacral spinal nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence: long-term results with foramen and cuff electrodes.
2002
PURPOSE: Sacral spinal nerve stimulation is a new therapeutic approach for patients with severe fecal incontinence owing to functional deficits of the external anal sphincter. It aims to use the morphologically intact anatomy to recruit residual function. This study evaluates the long-term results of the first patients treated with this novel approach applying two techniques of sacral spinal nerve stimulator implantation. METHODS: Six patients underwent either of two techniques for electrode placement: one “closed” (electrodes placed through the sacral foramen) and one “open” (cuff electrodes placed after sacral laminectomy). Follow-up evaluation of their continence status ranged from 5 to …
Pacemaker therapy in premature children with high degree AV block.
1998
The smallest pacemaker pulse generator and a steroid-eluting bipolar epicardial lead were implanted in two premature children with symptomatic AV block. Stable capture threshold and high amplitude evoked response electrogram resulted in normal function of the pacemaker Autocapture algorithm, which adjusts output 0.3 V above the measured capture threshold. Autocapture had previously been used only with endocardial leads. Longer-term observation is required.
