Kampania wielkopolska i kujawska Chryzostoma Jana Niemiry Gniazdowskiego

2020

W pracy przedstawiony został przebieg kampanii wielkopolsko-kujawskiej, która trwała dziewięć miesięcy, od lutego do października 1716 r. Przyjętym przez tarnogrodzian celem było rozszerzenie związku konfederackiego na Wielkopolskę właściwą, a następnie Kujawy i Pomorze. Poprowadzona została przez regimentarza, pułkownika Chryzostoma Jana Niemirę Gniazdowskiego - jeśli nie najzdolniejszego, to niewątpliwe najbardziej rzutkiego, skorego do podejmowania ryzykownych akcji, a przy tym skutecznego dowódcę konfederackiego. Jego przeciwnikiem były wojska królewskie złożone z oddziałów saski i polskich, dowodzone przez generała porucznika Kaspra von Seidlitz oraz generałów majorów Aleksandra Dietri…

A new styracosternan hadrosauroid (Dinosauria: Ornithischia) from the Early Cretaceous of Portell, Spain

2021

A new styracosternan ornithopod genus and species is described based on the right dentary of a single specimen from the Mirambell Formation (Early Cretaceous, early Barremian) at the locality of Portell, (Castellón, Spain).Portellsaurus sosbaynatigen. et sp. nov. is diagnosed by two autapomorphic features as well as a unique combination of characters. The autapomorphies include: the absence of a bulge along the ventral margin directly ventral to the base of the coronoid process and the presence of a deep oval cavity on the medial surface of the mandibular adductor fossa below the eleventh-twelfth tooth position. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that the new Iberian form is more closely related …

Dental disease and dietary isotopes of individuals from St Gertrude Church cemetery, Riga, Latvia.

2018

This research explores oral health indicators and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to explore diet, and differences in diet, between people buried in the four different contexts of the St Gertrude Church cemetery (15th– 17th centuries AD): the general cemetery, two mass graves, and a collective mass burial pit within the general cemetery. The main aim is to assess whether people buried in the mass graves were rural immigrants, or if they were more likely to be the victims of plague (or another epidemic) who lived in Riga and its suburbs. The data produced (from dental disease assessments and isotope analyses) were compared within, as well as between, the contexts. Most differences em…

Bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaws in Italy: an observational report of 24 cases

L-PRF application in extraction sockets of bisphosphonate-treated patients: preliminary results

2016

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a severe adverse event related to bisphosphonates (BPs) therapy; tooth extraction has been described as the main trigger. Autologous platelet concentrates, such Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF, Intraspin !) are designed to release platelet growth factors, improving the tissue healing in oral surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of our dental extraction protocol applied in BPs patients.

Maxillary bone necrosis following the use of bisphosphonates in patients with cancer: management and case series

2008

Bisphosphonates are bone-turnover modulating drugs used to treat various diseases such as certain cancers, bone metastasis, bone- and calcium-related disorders, Paget`s disease, osteoporosis and osteopenia. Recently, several preliminary reports have reported the insurgence of osteonecrosis of the mandible and/or maxilla, associated with intravenously administered bisphosphonates. This case series describes the effects of bisphosphonates used in the treatment of certain cancers on oral bone tissues.

The preventive care of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ): a position paper by Italian experts for dental hygienists

2022

Abstract Purpose The prevention and early diagnosis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is fundamental to reducing the incidence and progression of MRONJ. Many in the field believe that dental hygienists should play an integral role in primary and secondary MRONJ prevention. However, to date, very few publications in the literature have proposed standardised MRONJ protocols, which are dedicated to dental hygienists. The aim of this study was to provide guidance to the health care providers managing MRONJ. Methods The expert opinion in this study was developed by dental hygienists from the main Italian technical-scientific associations (Italian Dental Hygienists Associatio…

One changing and challenging scenario: the treatment of cancer patients with bone metastases by bisphosphonates and denosumab, the cost-benefit evalu…

2022

Antiresorptive drugs (bisphosphonates and denosumab) have become the cornerstone of medical supportive treatment of bone metastases in solid cancer patients. In the beginning, the choice of available antiresorptive agents was limited to bisphosphonates and the treatment options restricted principally to monthly pamidronate and monthly zoledronic acid. Introduction of new antiresorptive therapies (monthly denosumab) and schedules (zoledronic acid every 3 months, upfront or after initial period of monthly infusion) in the last decade increased the range of available options, thus challenging treatment decision making. Direct and indirect costs of very different treatment options are difficult…

Computed tomography bone density variations in oncological patients undergoing antiresorptive medication

2021

The purpose of this study was to compare jaw and cervical vertebrae bone density in computed tomography (CT) analyses of oncological patients undergoing antiresorptive medication with control patients, aiming to find information that may assist the radiologist and clinician in predicting risks and monitoring osteonecrosis in the jaw. Thirty-one patients treated with zoledronic acid and 37 control were included in the study. Two areas in regions of interest were chosen and standardized, one in the lower portion of the mandible and another in the axial cervical vertebra (C2) of patients undergoing antiresorptive drug treatment (experimental group) and the control group. Density analysis was p…
