The interface between oral and systemic health: the need for more collaboration.

The focus of this review is to highlight the need for improved communication between medical and dental professionals in order to deliver more effective care to patients. The need for communication is increasingly required to capitalise on recent advances in the biological sciences and in medicine for the management of patients with chronic diseases. Improvements in longevity have resulted in populations with increasing special oral-care needs, including those who have cancer of the head and neck, those who are immunocompromised due to HIV/AIDS, advanced age, residence in long-term care facilities or the presence of life-long conditions, and those who are receiving long-term prescription medications for chronic conditions (e.g., anti-hypertensives, anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, antidepressants). These medications can cause adverse reactions in the oral cavity, such as xerostomia and ulceration. Patients with xerostomia are at increased risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease and infection. The ideal management of such individuals should involve the collaborative efforts of physicians, nurses, dentists and dental hygienists, thus optimising treatment and minimising secondary complications deriving from the oral cavity.

Integració del motor APIS de qüestionaris on-line en una plataforma d'eLearning basada en serveis

El projecte Integració del motor APIS de qüestionaris on-line en una plataformad'eLearning basada en serveis descriu el procés d'anàlisi i implementació del codi necessari per integrar dins de la plataforma d'eLearning SLeD tot el motor d'APIS de manera que SLeD pugui reproduir preguntes o items i exàmens complets o tests dins d'una UOL o unitat d'aprenentatge. Això permetrà dotar a APIS d'un control de sessió d'usuari i permetrà una utilitat que fins ara no tenia, la possibilitat de entrar al món online mitjançant SLeD. Tot aixòs’implementa gràcies a la connexió WebServices amb el mòdul CCSI de CopperCore i SLeD que s'encarrega de donar facilitats al programador de cara a ampliar el ventall d'eines que ofereix aquesta plataforma i fomentar encara més la idea del codi lliure (open source) i la utilitat globalitzadora d'e-Learning.
