Prevalence of complications after the oral rehabilitation with implant-supported hybrid prostheses

Objectives: Assess the main problems referred by the patients and observed by the professionals after the bucodental rehabilitation with an implant-supported hybrid prothesis. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in which there were 43 patients included who were visited in the Department of Oral Surgery and Orofacial Implantology of University of Barcelona Dental School for one year. An oral rehabilitation with an implant-supported hybrid prosthesis was made to those patients. The following variables were registered: age, gender, number of inserted implants, type of implant and principal problems produced by the hybrid prosthesis. Results: The rehabilitation with an implant supported hybrid prosthesis was only performed in 43 of 116 cases treated in one year (January, 2006 to January, 2007). They were 26 men and 17 women of ages between 37 and 74 years, being the rate age of 56,5 years. The main complication recorded was the mucositis, associated frequently with a difficulty to carry a correct oral hygiene and to an overextention of the tail of resin of the prosthesis. Other observed problems were the peri-implantitis, the break of the acrylic teeth and the loss of some of the prosthetic screws. Conclusions: The most frequent complication after the laying of an implant supported hybrid prosthesis was the mucositis, associated mainly with a prosthetic tail too long and to the consequent difficulty of carrying a correct oral hygiene. In spite of the high prevalence of observed complications, most of them were mild and resolved on subsequent visits.

Adverse side effects of statins in the oral cavity

Increased plasma levels of cholesterol are high risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Statins are drugs that inhibit cholesterol synthesis at both pancreatic and extrahepathic levels, being the treatment of choice for hypercholesterolemia. Objective: To analyze the side effects of statins in the mouth cavity, and to analyze the symptoms after interruption of the treatment. Design: Observational study, preliminary. Material and methods: Patients aged 50-70, diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia and undergoing treatment with statins, referred from their primary care physician to the dentist"s office. Anamnesis over oral symptoms was performed in the first visit. Statin treatment was discontinued, followed by lab tests and control visits seven and fifteen days later. We monitored the improvement and/or remission of oral symptoms. Statin treatment was resumed, sending out a report of the patient evolution to the PCP. Symptoms were registered in sheet specially designed for the study. Exclusion criteria: patient refusal, use of drugs for dry mouth treatment, Sjögren"s syndrome. Results: n=26 patients. Dry mouth patients: improvement in 17 out of 23 patients (88.5%). Itchiness: 6 out of 15 cases improved (57.7%). Bitterness: improvement in 13 out of 14 patients (53.8%). Cough: improvement in 11 out of 12 patients (46.1%). Discussion: A high percentage of oral symptoms are associated to treatment with statins. There is a marked improvement after temporary interruption of the treatment. Little is known regarding the side effects of oral treatment with statins. This preliminary study includes a relatively small number of patients. The design of experimental treatments will be required to establish a true correlation between statin treatment and oral symptoms

Produção estacional, índice de área foliar e interceptação luminosa de cultivares de alfafa sob pastejo

A alfafa (Medicago sativa L.) pastejada pode promover redução de custos de alimentação de ruminantes, mas o desempenho agronômico de cultivares sob pastejo no Brasil ainda é pouco conhecido. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do método de pastejo sobre o acúmulo de forragem (AF), índice de área foliar (IAF) e interceptação luminosa (IL) de cinco cultivares de alfafa, durante 295 dias de pastejo em Piracicaba, SP. O experimento seguiu um delineamento de blocos completos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas (método na parcela e cultivar na subparcela). A cultivar ABT-805 foi a mais produtiva sob lotação contínua (26.600 kg ha-1 ano-1) e rotacionada (18.000 kg ha-1 ano-1), com maior IAF médio (2,1) e o máximo valor médio de IL (53%) sob lotação rotacionada. Alfagraze, apesar de ser uma das menos produtivas sob lotação rotacionada (13.300 kg ha-1 ano-1), foi semelhante em produtividade a ABT-805, sob lotação contínua (26.300 kg ha-1 ano-1), apresentando IL média de 47% e IAF médio de 1,1 e 1,8 para a lotação contínua e rotacionada, respectivamente. Pioneer 5432 foi intermediária, com IL média de 49%, AF de 24.300 e 15.300 kg ha-1 ano-1, valores médios de IAF de 0,98 e 1,76 e sobrevivência de 7,3% e 24,9% para lotação contínua e rotacionada, respectivamente. Crioula e CUF-101 são as mais estacionais sob ambos os métodos. ABT-805 tem a maior produtividade sob pastejo nas condições edafoclimáticas da região.

Oral English in different school settings

Hi ha molts tipus d’escoles diferents, i fins i tot, podem constatar que cada escola és diferent de les altres. Per aquesta raó, quan parlem sobre l’aprenentatge de l’anglès, no podem generalitzar una manera de fer-ho, perquè cada una d’elles tracta aquesta llengua de manera diferent. A més, pel que fa a l’aprenentatge d’una llengua, hi ha diferents habilitats involucrades, i entre totes aquestes, he centrat aquest projecte en l’habilitat oral. Aquesta recerca esta basada en l’observació de tres exemples de tipus d’escoles, i per ser més precisos, té l’objectiu d’aprofundir com tracten l’Anglès. D’aquesta manera, el principal objectiu d’aquest projecte és comparar l’habilitat oral dels alumnes d’aquestes escoles, tot considerant les seves diferències. Així doncs, amb el desenvolupament d’aquesta recerca, vaig voler descobrir si hi havien alguns alumnes amb millors habilitats orals que d’altres, i trobar-ne la possible raó.

Oral versus intravenous empirical antimicrobial therapy for fever in patients with granulocytopenia who are receiving cancer chemotherapy. International Antimicrobial Therapy Cooperative Group of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer.

BACKGROUND: Intravenously administered antimicrobial agents have been the standard choice for the empirical management of fever in patients with cancer and granulocytopenia. If orally administered empirical therapy is as effective as intravenous therapy, it would offer advantages such as improved quality of life and lower cost. METHODS: In a prospective, open-label, multicenter trial, we randomly assigned febrile patients with cancer who had granulocytopenia that was expected to resolve within 10 days to receive empirical therapy with either oral ciprofloxacin (750 mg twice daily) plus amoxicillin-clavulanate (625 mg three times daily) or standard daily doses of intravenous ceftriaxone plus amikacin. All patients were hospitalized until their fever resolved. The primary objective of the study was to determine whether there was equivalence between the regimens, defined as an absolute difference in the rates of success of 10 percent or less. RESULTS: Equivalence was demonstrated at the second interim analysis, and the trial was terminated after the enrollment of 353 patients. In the analysis of the 312 patients who were treated according to the protocol and who could be evaluated, treatment was successful in 86 percent of the patients in the oral-therapy group (95 percent confidence interval, 80 to 91 percent) and 84 percent of those in the intravenous-therapy group (95 percent confidence interval, 78 to 90 percent; P=0.02). The results were similar in the intention-to-treat analysis (80 percent and 77 percent, respectively; P=0.03), as were the duration of fever, the time to a change in the regimen, the reasons for such a change, the duration of therapy, and survival. The types of adverse events differed slightly between the groups but were similar in frequency. CONCLUSIONS: In low-risk patients with cancer who have fever and granulocytopenia, oral therapy with ciprofloxacin plus amoxicillin-clavulanate is as effective as intravenous therapy.

Classes de perfilhos na composição do índice de área foliar em pastos de capim-elefante

O trabalho foi conduzido de outubro de 2002 a abril de 2003, em Coronel Pacheco, MG, com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da altura do resíduo pós-pastejo (50 e 100 cm) sobre a radiação fotossinteticamente ativa (RFA) interceptada pelo dossel e o coeficiente de extinção luminosa; a contribuição relativa de classes de perfilhos (basais e aéreos) sobre o índice de área foliar (IAF) e o acúmulo de forragem (AF), em pastos de capim-elefante (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) cv. Napier manejados com intervalos de 30 dias entre pastejos. Foi usado o delineamento blocos completos ao acaso e um arranjo de parcelas subdivididas com quatro repetições, com alturas de resíduo alocadas nas parcelas e as classes de perfilhos nas subparcelas. O IAF, a interceptação da RFA e o coeficiente de extinção luminosa foram influenciados pela altura do resíduo pós-pastejo. As interceptações da RFA foram maiores no verão do que na primavera, em pastos manejados com resíduo de 100 cm. As variações do IAF e da interceptação da RFA não estiveram associados, durante todos os ciclos de pastejo. O IAF e o AF apresentaram variações sazonais, relacionadas à participação de perfilhos basais e aéreos, na população de perfilhos do pasto.

Les cançons en els contes de tradició oral. Metanàlisi del repertori tradicional català

Aquest article pretén analitzar les cançons presents en contes tradicionals catalans recollides a les antologies més importants de cançó i conte a Catalunya. Inicialment es fa un repàs de la importància del conte en el desenvolupament de l'infant i del simbolisme associat, per passar a fer un resum dels principals trets diferencials de la cançó tradicional i en concret de la cançó tradicional catalana. A continuació es procedeix a una metanàlisi dels continguts musicals presents a les divuit cançons que figuren dins dels contes, en els aspectes melòdics, rítmics, textuals, formals i mètrics. Per acabar es presenten els resultats obtinguts de l'anàlisi efectuada, i una bibliografia d'aprofundiment del tema.
