    La cardiopatía isquémica es una enfermedad frecuente en los individuos de edad avanzada, por lo que es necesario conocer su diagnóstico y tratamiento para poder ofrecer así una correcta atención odontológica a los pacientes afectos de dicha patología. Previo al tratamiento de la patología de la cavidad bucal deberemos considerar una serie de precauciones y cuidados, dependiendo del grado de cardiopatía que presenten (angina estable, angina inestable, angina variante o infarto). Otro aspecto importante a considerar es el conocimiento de la prevención y de la conducta correcta a seguir ante un paciente con un ataque anginoso en la consulta dental

    Nonrenormalization of Flux Superpotentials in String Theory

    Full text link
    Recent progress in understanding modulus stabilization in string theory relies on the existence of a non-renormalization theorem for the 4D compactifications of Type IIB supergravity which preserve N=1 supersymmetry. We provide a simple proof of this non-renormalization theorem for a broad class of Type IIB vacua using the known symmetries of these compactifications, thereby putting them on a similar footing as the better-known non-renormalization theorems of heterotic vacua without fluxes. The explicit dependence of the tree-level flux superpotential on the dilaton field makes the proof more subtle than in the absence of fluxes.Comment: 16 pages, no figures. Final version, to appear in JHEP. Arguments for validity of R-symmetry made more explicit. Minor extra comments and references adde

    Presurgical diagnosis of diffuse gliomas in adults:Post-WHO 2021 practical perspectives from radiologists in neuro-oncology units

    Get PDF
    The 2021 World Health Organization classification of CNS tumours was greeted with enthusiasm as well as an initial potential overwhelm. However, with time and experience, our understanding of its key aspects has notably improved. Using our collective expertise gained in neuro-oncology units in hospitals in different countries, we have compiled a practical guide for radiologists that clarifies the classification criteria for diffuse gliomas in adults. Its format is clear and concise to facilitate its incorporation into everyday clinical practice. The document includes a historical overview of the classifications and highlights the most important recent additions. It describes the main types in detail with an emphasis on their appearance on imaging. The authors also address the most debated issues in recent years. It will better prepare radiologists to conduct accurate presurgical diagnoses and collaborate effectively in clinical decision making, thus impacting decisions on treatment, prognosis, and overall patient care.</p

    Incidence of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (MORN) after intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) versus 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT): A systematic review

    Background: Analyze the incidence of MORN after head and neck radiotherapy by two novel irradiation techniques. 3DCRT and IMRT and compare the success rates of distinct authors. Material and Methods: An electronic search in Pubmed (MEDLINE), Ovid. Google Scholar and Cochrane Library (Wiley). databases was conducted with the key words Radiotherapy, Conformal[Mesh] OR Radiotherapy. Intensity-Modulated[Mesh]) AND Osteoradionecrosis[Mesh] for all databases. The inclusion criteria randomized controlled trials (RCT), as well as prospective and retrospective cohort studies published in English; MORN patients treated with 3D-CRT y IMRT. Results: 27 articles were selected from 194 initially found. 14 articles out of 27 were excluded and finally included 8 publications were included in the systematic review that were ranked according to their level of scientific evidence using the SORT criteria. Conclusions: When both RT techniques were compared; IMRT revealed a lower risk incidence of MORN development and enhanced dose constraint than 3D-CRT (less than 10%). this improvement could translate into less complications post RT treatment

    Cosmological Rescaling through Warped Space

    Full text link
    We discuss a scenario where at least part of the homogeneity on a brane world can be directly related to the hierarchy problem through warped space. We study the dynamics of an anti-D3-brane moving toward the infrared cut-off of a warped background. After a region described by the DBI action, the self-energy of the anti-D3-brane will dominate over the background. Then the world-volume scale of the anti-D3-brane is no longer comoving with the background geometry. After it settles down in the infrared end, the world-volume inhomogeneity will appear, to a Poincare observer, to be stretched by an exponentially large ratio. This ratio is close to that of the hierarchy problem between the gravitational and electroweak scales.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures; v2, PRD version, comments and references adde

    Instanton effects and linear-chiral duality

    Full text link
    We discuss duality between the linear and chiral dilaton formulations, in the presence of super-Yang-Mills instanton corrections to the effective action. In contrast to previous work on the subject, our approach appeals directly to explicit instanton calculations and does not rely on the introduction of an auxiliary Veneziano-Yankielowicz superfield. We discuss duality in the case of an axion that has a periodic scalar potential, and find that the bosonic fields of the dual linear multiplet have a modified interpretation. We note that symmetries of the axion potential manifest themselves as symmetries of the equations of motion for the linear multiplet. We also make some brief remarks regarding dilaton stabilization. We point out that corrections recently studied by Dijkgraaf and Vafa can be used to stabilize the axion in the case of a single super-Yang-Mills condensate.Comment: 1+18 pages, 1 figure, comments and references adde

    Complicaciones de la radioterapia cervicofacial. Osteorradionecrosis.

    Get PDF
    El tratamiento de los tumores de la cavidad bucal incluye en la mayoría de los casos la combinación de cirugía y radioterapia. Dentro de las secuelas de la radioterapia de la región cervicofacial podemos distinguir efectos agudos como radiodermitis, mucositis e hiposialia,y efectos tardios como necrosis cutánea, mucosa y ósea.La necrosis ósea u osteorradionecrosis es la complicación más severa de la radioterapia cervicofacial, siendo la mandibula la zona de la cavidad bucal que presenta una mayor incidencia. En este artículo presentamos una revisión bibliográfica de los efectos secundarios de la irradiación en la región de cabeza y cuello, haciendo especial hincapié en la osteorradionecrosis, describiendo su fisiopatología, clínica,diagnóstico,tratamiento y medidas preventivas encaminadas a minimizar o evitar esta patología

The second order rate constants (1.3 +/- 0.4) x 10(8) and (1.1 0.4) x 10(8) M-1 s(-1) were determined for the reaction of Cl-2(center dot-) with MT and DM, respectively. A reaction mechanism involving an initial charge transfer from the sulfide groups of the insecticides to Cl-2(center dot-) is proposed and supported by the identified transient intermediates and reaction products. The formation of chlorinated byproducts was determined. The unexpected consequences of an efficient Cl-2(center dot-) activity towards MT and DM on the degradation capacity by Advanced Oxidation Procedures applied to polluted waters containing the insecticides and Cl- anions is discussed.
