Movement evaluation of overerupted upper molars with absolute anchorage: An in-vitro study

Introduction: The overeruption of upper molars due to the premature loss of antagonist teeth can be treated with the help of miniscrews. The aim of this study was to evaluate the movement of a typodont molar according to the biomechanical approach used with miniscrews. Study design: The study was conducted with four plaster models filled with typodont wax. In each model we used one absolute anchorage on the palatal side and another on the buccal side in different positions, thus generating four different biomechanical systems. A force of 150 g was applied to each side of the resin tooth. Periapical radiographs were taken preintrusion and immediately after completion of the intrusion. Photographs were taken in both the sagittal and occlusal planes every 3 min. The radiographic films and photographs were measured and compared. Results: A vertical movement of the molar was observed in all the models, with system 4 showing the greatest movement. Rotation in the occlusal plane only occurred in system 2, while in system 1 there was a change in the axial axis of 37 degrees. Conclusions: The anchorage site and the combination of forces applied may determine the resulting tooth movement

Aprender en contexto: el uso de la geolocalización en la educación secundaria

Los profesores están sometidos a diferentes tensiones: sociales, culturales, de mercado, detendencias. Una de estas tensiones más actuales es la irrupción de la cotidianeidad tecnológi -ca dentro y fuera del aula. Son muchos los estudios que intentan visualizar los usos tecnológicospara el aprendizaje, por ejemplo, (Usos de las TIC entre los estudiantes universitarios:perspectiva académica y social de los procesos de aprendizaje mediados. EDU2009-12125) y losusos de las tecnologías por los adolescentes fuera del aula. La tensión a la que nos hemosacercado con nuestra investigación es la prohibición del uso de los móviles en las aulas y/o suuso pedagógico. Esta comunicación se focaliza en el estudio realizado dentro del proyecto “Mimóvil al servicio de la comunidad: aprender y compartir” una iniciativa impulsada por FundaciónTelefónica en colaboración con Fundación Itinerarium y el Grupo de investigación Consolidado EMA (Entornos y Materiales para el Aprendizaje) de la Universidad de Barcelona, en su línea de Laboratorios Sociales...

Fructose induces synthesis and reduces oxidation of liver fatty acids through ChREBP activation

Introduction and aims. During last few decades, the prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, among other metabolic disturbances, has raised considerably in many countries worldwide. Environmental factors (diet, physical activity), in tandem with predisposing genetic factors, may be responsible for this trend. Along with an increase in total energy consumption during recent decades, there has also been a shift in the type of nutrients, with an increased consumption of fructose, largely attributable to a greater intake of beverages containing high levels of fructose...

Cambios en los cuidadores informales en cuanto a estilos de vida, relaciones y alteraciones de salud mental

Changes in the informal caregiver life styles, relations and alterations of mental health. Justification.The increase of the population aged 65 years and older in developed countries is generating a proportional increasing of the dependency caused by chronic pathologies. The care of these persons is being carried out by relatives, informal carers, leading to some alterations in diverse areas, among them mental alterations, as a consequence of taking care. Objectives. To develop a profile of the informal carers and to correlate the caregiver burden with the carers disorders. To detect risk factors to allow carrying out premature nursing interventions to diminish the disorders in the informal carers. Design. An observational and cross-sectional study is made in primary care health services area of the city of Girona. Methodology. Random sample of carer of dependent people at their home , assigned to the program of domiciliary attention (ATDOM) of the educational basic areas of health (ABS). A sample size of 269 persons, with a level of precision of 9% was needed. Questionnaire ICUB 97, the test of Barthel, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center scale, and a questionnaire are used as instruments that includes demographic and social variables, and mental and physical carers disorders.Results. A total of 80 participants were interviewed. The most common problems as consequence of taking care were the backache, to feel more tired, to feel impotent and to have less free time. Correlation between the level of dependence of the patient with the number of problems perceived by the caretaker does not exist. Since they are informal carers they eat frequently outside the habitual schedule, took place an increase or loss of weight, experienced more disorders in sexual life and an increasing lack of interest in surroundings. A 33% of the informal carers are being treated for problems related to the mental health.Conclusion. The fact of being informal carer carries important consequences in their health, the lifestyles and the social relations. These can be attenuated if the nursing interventions are able to consider to the well-taken care of subject, and its surroundings in an holistic way. The professionals of infirmary of mental health must contribute to their knowledge and abilities contributing to make an assessment, a diagnosis and an intervention paying special attention to psycho-social aspects mentioned
