L'assistente in ortodonzia. Gestione ed organizzazione di uno studio ortodontico

Gli Autori descrivono i compiti specifici dell’assistente in ortodonzia: nell’ambito dell’organizzazione di uno studio odontoiatrico è di fondamentale importanza infatti definire ruoli, competenze e limiti di ogni figura che lavora all’interno di esso; ogni persona infatti è responsabile di particolari aspetti di ordine pratico che rendono l’attivita’ di uno studio ordinata e ben articolata. Il ruolo dell’assistente risulta essere fondamentale anche per il lavoro ortodontico. Per tale motivo la sua figura deve essere accuratamente selezionata, reclutata, controllata ed aggiornata nel tempo, così da poter contare durante le fasi operative su personale realmente affidabile ed esperto

First Evidence of Temporary Read Errors in TLC 3D-NAND Flash Memories Exiting from an Idle State

This paper presents a new reliability threat that affects 3D-NAND Flash memories when a read operation is performed exiting from an idle state. In particular, a temporary large increase of the fail bits count is reported for the layers read as first after a sequence of program/verify and a idle retention phase. The phenomenon, hereafter called Temporary Read Errors (TRE), is not due to a permanent change of cell threshold voltage between the program verify and the following read operations, but to its transient instability occurring during the idle phase and the first read operations performed on a block. The experimental analysis has been performed on off-the-shelf gigabit-array products to characterize the dependence on the memory operating conditions. The TRE is found to be strongly dependent on the page read, on the read temperature and on the time delay between the first and the second read after the idle state. To emphasize its negative impact at system-level, we have evaluated the induced performance drop on Solid State Drives architectures

Assessing the role of program suspend operation in 3d nand flash based solid state drives

3D NAND Flash is the preferred storage medium for dense mass storage applications, including Solid State Drives and multimedia cards. Improving the latency of these systems is a mandatory task to narrow the gap between computing elements, such as CPUs and GPUs, and the storage environment. To this extent, relatively time-consuming operations in the storage media, such as data programming and data erasing, need to be prioritized and be potentially suspendable by shorter operations, like data reading, in order to improve the overall system quality of service. However, such benefits are strongly dependent on the storage characteristics and on the timing of the single operations. In this work, we investigate, through an extensive characterization, the impacts of suspending the data programming operation in a 3D NAND Flash device. System-level simulations proved that such operations must be carefully characterized before exercising them on Solid State Drives to eventually understand the performance benefits introduced and to disclose all the potential shortcomings

Endocrine and neuropsychological assessment in a child with a novel mutation of thyroid hormone receptor: response to 12-month triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) therapy

Objective: To determine the endocrine, neuropsychological and genetic features of a child with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH), and his response to long-term triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) therapy. Methods: Growth, thyroid function, and neuropsychology were assessed at baseline and during 12-month TRIAC therapy. Genetic analysis was performed by PCR and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography. Results: The main clinical finding was the attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A novel mutation in exon 10 (phenylalanine to isoleucine in codon 455) was found. Long-term TRIAC therapy was effective in the management of the endocrine and neuropsychological manifestations of the syndrome. Conclusions: ADHD was the only phenotypic manifestation of this novel mutation of thyroid hormone (TH) receptor. TRIAC is an effective and safe drug in the long-term treatment of children with RTH
