Immediate post-extraction implants subject to immediate

Since Brånemark first started developing its implant system, there has been a continuous and significant evolution in oral implantology through experimental and clinical research, and many of the concepts that were once considered valid have now become the subject of debate. The insertion of the implant immediately after extraction of the tooth to be substituted has now become the implant treatment of choice and is associated with preserving the bone structure and the gingival architecture, as well as with reducing the treatment time, which ultimately benefits the patient. Objective: To evaluate the success rate of the immediate post-extraction implants (IPI) subject to immediate loading. Study Design: A meta-analytic study was carried out on 659 immediate post-extraction implants obtained from a bibliographic review of 25 articles published within the last 9 years. Results: We obtained a sample of 322 patients who had been treated with a total of 659 implants placed immediately following extraction. The mean age of the patients was 51 years old. A total of 441 implants were inserted in the maxilla, 152 in the mandible and 64 were placed in an unspecified location. The survival rate ranged between 85% and 100%. Conclusions: Immediate post-extraction implant treatment is an implant alternative with a survival rate similar to that of the conventional technique for implant placement and enables preserving both the bone structure and gingival architecture, as well as providing immediate functional loading, thus improving the quality of the treatment as far as the patient is concerned. © Medicina Oral S.

Formación inclusiva del profesorado de primaria en tres regiones chilenas

La formación inicial del docente de Educación General Básica (EGB) en Chile ha sido un tema que viene en discusión hace muchos años, sin embargo, no se ha ajustado a los requerimientos de las últimas legislaciones implementadas para abordar una educación inclusiva (Ley de inclusión, Decreto N°83 y actualizaciones del Decreto N° 170), así como tampoco se ha ajustado a las necesidades y requerimientos de quienes están al frente en cada aula junto a sus estudiantes. Este artículo pretende analizar e identificar las necesidades formativas en inclusión de los docentes egresados entre 2008 y 2018. Se aplicó un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc, con un diseño descriptivo (n=118) al profesorado. Los resultados señalan las necesidades formativas teóricas y metodológicas, con una predominancia en los aspectos metodológicos que permitan a los docentes trabajar con diversos diseños estratégicos que promuevan el auto-aprendizaje o trabajo colaborativo, implementar adaptaciones curriculares requeridas por el Decreto 83, generar planes educativos individuales, que permitan centrar el aprendizaje en la persona, conocer la importancia de los espacios virtuales para promover la educación inclusiva y resaltar la importancia de los recursos humanos (psicopedagoga, psicólogo, educadora diferencial u otros), para facilitar el trabajo con estudiantes con Necesidades Educativas Especiales (NEE). Por lo tanto, esta investigación permitirá que las instituciones formadoras adecúen su formación a estas necesidades y generen proyectos de formación inicial y continua los docentes en Chile.//The initial training of elementary teacher in Chile has been a topic that has been under discussion for many years, however, it has not been adjusted to the requirements of the latest legislation implemented to address an inclusive education (inclusion law Decree No. 83 and updates to Decree No. 170), as well as not being adjusted to the needs and requirements of those who are at the forefront in each classroom with their students. This article aims to analyze and identify the training needs for inclusion of graduate teachers between 2008 and 2018. A questionnaire prepared ad hoc, with a descriptive design (n = 118) was applied to teachers. The results indicate the theoretical and methodological training needs, with a predominance in the methodological aspects that allow teachers to work with various strategic designs that promote self-learning or collaborative work, implement curricular adaptations required by decree 83, generate individual educational plans , that allow to focus learning on the person, know the importance of virtual spaces to promote inclusive education and highlight the importance of human resources (psycho-pedagogue, psychologist, differential educator or others), to facilitate work with students with SEN Therefore, this research will allow training institutions to adapt their training to these needs and generate initial and ongoing training projects for teachers in Chile

Intestinal inflammation and the enterocyte transportome

Abstract Diarrhoea is a hallmark of intestinal inflammation. The mechanisms operating in acute inflammation of the intestine are well characterized and are related to regulatory changes induced by inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, cytokines or reactive oxygen species, along with leakage due to epithelial injury and changes in permeability. In chronic colitis, however, the mechanisms are less well known, but it is generally accepted that both secretory and absorptive processes are inhibited. These disturbances in ionic transport may be viewed as an adaptation to protracted inflammation of the intestine, since prolonged intense secretion may be physiologically unacceptable in the long term. Mechanistically, the changes in transport may be due to adjustments in the regulation of the different processes involved, to broader epithelial alterations or frank damage, or to modulation of the transportome in terms of expression. In the present review, we offer a summary of the existing evidence on the status of the transportome in chronic intestinal inflammation

Innovación y estrategias de intervención en acoso escolar

Los problemas de convivencia escolar, violencia escolar, bullying y cyberbullying, en los centros españoles son una realidad y, por tanto, es necesario que los futuros docentes cuenten con estrategias específicas para el abordaje de estas situaciones cuando se enfrenten a la realidad de las aulas. En este manual, profesionales del área de la convivencia escolar presentan las actuaciones, programas y herramientas disponibles que en estos momentos se están poniendo en práctica en los centros escolares con resultados positivos. Así, se pretende ampliar el conocimiento teórico-práctico en el ámbito de la convivencia, gestión de conflictos y violencia escolar.EducaciónPsicologí

Predictors of positive (18) F-FDG PET/CT-scan for large vessel vasculitis in patients with persistent polymyalgia rheumatica

Objective: Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is often the presenting manifestation of giant cell arteritis (GCA). Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan often discloses the presence of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) in PMR patients. We aimed to identify predictive factors of a positive PET/CT scan for LVV in patients classified as having isolated PMR according to well-established criteria. Methods: A set of consecutive patients with PMR from a single hospital were assessed. All of them underwent PET/CT scan between January 2010 and February 2018 based on clinical considerations. Patients with PMR associated to other diseases, including those with cranial features of GCA, were excluded. The remaining patients were categorized in classic PMR (if fulfilled the 2012 EULAR/ACR classification criteria at disease diagnosis; n=84) or atypical PMR (who did not fulfill these criteria; n=16). Only information on patients with classic PMR was assessed. Results: The mean age of the 84 patients (51 women) with classic PMR was 71.4±9.2 years. A PET/CT scan was positive in 51(60.7%). Persistence of classic PMR symptoms was the most common reason to perform a PET/CT scan. Nevertheless, patients with positive PET/CT scan often had unusual symptoms. The best set of predictors of a positive PET/CT scan were bilateral diffuse lower limb pain (OR=8.8, 95% CI 1.7-46.3; p=0.01), pelvic girdle pain (OR=4.9, 95% CI 1.50-16.53; p=0.01) and inflammatory low back pain (OR=4.7, 95% CI 1.03-21.5; p=0.04). Conclusion: Inflammatory low back pain, pelvic girdle and diffuse lower limb pain are predictors of positive PET/CT scan for LVV in PMR

White blood cell counts as risk markers of developing metabolic syndrome and its components in the Predimed study.

Background The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that includes hyperglucemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia and central obesity, conferring an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The white blood cell (WBC) count has been proposed as a marker for predicting cardiovascular risk. However, few prospective studies have evaluated the relationship between WBC subtypes and risk of MetS. Methods Participants were recruited from seven PREDIMED study centers. Both a baseline cross-sectional (n = 4,377) and a prospective assessment (n = 1,637) were performed. Participants with MetS at baseline were excluded from the longitudinal analysis. The median follow-up was 3.9 years. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, fasting glucose, lipid profile and WBC counts were assessed at baseline and yearly during the follow-up. Participants were categorized by baseline WBC and its subtype count quartiles. Adjusted logistic regression models were fitted to assess the risk of MetS and its components. Results Of the 4,377 participants, 62.6% had MetS at baseline. Compared to the participants in the lowest baseline sex-adjusted quartile of WBC counts, those in the upper quartile showed an increased risk of having MetS (OR, 2.47; 95%CI, 2.03-2.99; P-trend<0.001). This association was also observed for all WBC subtypes, except for basophils. Compared to participants in the lowest quartile, those in the top quartile of leukocyte, neutrophil and lymphocyte count had an increased risk of MetS incidence. Leukocyte and neutrophil count were found to be strongly associated with the MetS components hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol. Likewise, lymphocyte counts were found to be associated with the incidence of the MetS components low HDL-cholesterol and high fasting glucose. An increase in the total WBC during the follow-up was also associated with an increased risk of MetS. Conclusions Total WBC counts, and some subtypes, were positively associated with MetS as well as hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-cholesterol and high fasting glucose, all components of MetS
