Two-body wear and surface hardness of occlusal splint materials = Desgaste de dos cuerpos y dureza superficial de los materiales de férulas oclusales

Por: Mona; Perea Mosquera Gibreel | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the wear and surface hardness of nine materials for conventional manufacturing, subtractive milling, and 3D printing of occlusal splints, as well as to evaluate the differences in wear and surface hardness between rigid and flexible 3D-printed occlusal splint materials. Two-body wear and Vickers hardness tests were performed. The vertical wear depth and Vickers hardness values were statistically analyzed. Vertical wear depth and surface hardness values were statistically significant among the investigated materials (p<0.05). The lowest vertical wear depth was observed for the heat-cured resin (27.5±2.4 ?m), PMMA-based milled material (30.5±2.8 ?m), and autopolymerizing resin (36.7±6.3 ?m), with no statistical difference (p<0.05). Flexible 3D-printed and CAD-CAM milled polycarbonate-based splint materials displayed lower surface hardness and higher wear than the PMMA-based materials. PMMA-based splint materials displayed the most consistent surface hardness and wear resistance regardless of the manufacturing technology. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio in vitro fue evaluar el desgaste y la dureza superficial de nueve materiales para la fabricación convencional, fresado sustractivo e impresión 3D de férulas oclusales, así como para evaluar las diferencias en el desgaste y la dureza de la superficie entre Materiales rígidos y flexibles para férulas oclusales impresas en 3D. Se realizaron pruebas de desgaste de dos cuerpos y dureza Vickers. Se analizaron estadísticamente los valores de profundidad y dureza Vickers. Los valores de profundidad de desgaste vertical y dureza superficial fueron estadísticamente significativa entre los materiales investigados (p<0,05). La profundidad de desgaste vertical más baja se observó para la resina termocurada (27,5 ± 2,4?m), material molido a base de PMMA (30,5±2,8 ?m) y resina autopolimerizable (36,7±6,3 ?m), sin diferencia estadística (p<0,05). Los materiales flexibles para férulas a base de policarbonato impresos en 3D y fresados con CAD-CAM mostraron una menor dureza superficial y un mayor desgaste que los materiales basados en PMMA. Los materiales para férulas a base de PMMA mostraron la dureza superficial y la resistencia al desgaste más consistentes independientemente de la tecnología de fabricación.

Abstract: Aim: the aim of this study was to compare the flexural strength and elastic modulus of three-dimensionally (3D) printed, conventional heat-cured, and high-impact implant-supported overdenture materials specimens. Materials and Methods: Thirty implant-supported overdenture materials specimens (bar-shaped, 65.0 × 10.2 × 5.1 ± 0.2 mm 3) with one central hole were fabricated using 3D-printed, heat-cured conventional, and high-impact denture base resins (n = 10/group). Autopolymerizing acrylic resin was used to attach titanium matrix housings to the central holes of the specimens. A three-point bending test was conducted using a universal testing machine and a model analog with a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min. The indicative flexural strength and elastic modulus were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey tests at ? = 0.05. Results: One-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of denture base material on the flexural strength (p < 0.001) but not on the elastic modulus (p = 0.451) of the evaluated materials. The flexural strength of the 3D-printed specimens (95.99 ± 9.87 MPa) was significantly higher than the conventional (77.18 ± 9.69 MPa; p < 0.001) and high-impact ones (82.74 ± 7.73 MPa; p = 0.002). Conclusions: The maximum flexural strength was observed in the 3D-printed implant- supported overdenture material specimens, which might indicate their suitability as an alternative to the conventionally fabricated ones. Flexural strength and elastic modulus of conventional and high-impact heat-cured implant-supported overdenture materials specimens were comparable.

Sepsis-3 in pregnant women in labour

Por: Eliana Paola Rodríguez Sierra | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: SEPSIS-3 IN PREGNANT WOMEN IN LABOUR Abstract Introduction: Maternal sepsis represents 10.7% of maternal deaths worldwide, ranking as the third cause of mortality after haemorrhage and hypertensive disorders. Despite its high incidence, it still lacks a gold standard diagnosis. The latest update that proposed new sepsis criteria and scores, Sepsis-3, did not mention pregnancy as part of the study population. This study aims to evaluate the inclusion or exclusion of Sepsis- 3 pregnancy. Methods: This is a literature review of the Sepsis-3 database looking for the inclusion or exclusion of pregnancy from the latest update in sepsis and the basis of current definitions and guidelines. In addition, I reported the retrospective measurement of qSOFA and SOFA scores in 100 pregnant patients in labour from the EPIFEVER-2 cohort at the Royal London Hospital compared to their infection status. Results: Sepsis-3 investigators evaluated the predictive validity of the SOFA and qSOFA score for mortality in sepsis among nearly 1 million patients, however, pregnant women were not included. The SOFA and qSOFA score overlap with the normal physiological changes of pregnancy and labour, in the EPIFEVER-2 cohort 16% of uninfected pregnant patients during labour scored 1 point on qSOFA and 17% 1 point on SOFA score. The highest SOFA score of 3 points was obtained in a patient with bleeding rather than infection. Conclusion: Pregnant patients were not included in the Sepsis-3 databases. Therefore, qSOFA and SOFA score have not been validated for use in this population. Furthermore, as they are not modified for the normal physiological changes of pregnancy, detection of patients without infection has been reported. Further validation of qSOFA or modified SOFA scores as sepsis-specific maternal warning scores is expected in future research.

The Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteomic Response to Traumatic and Nontraumatic Acute Brain Injury: A Prospective Study = La respuesta proteómica en el líquido cefalorraquídeo a la lesión cerebral aguda traumática y no traumática: un estudio prospectivo

Por: Carlos Andrés; Vincent Santacruz Herrera | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: Quantitative analysis of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (vCSF) proteins following acute brain injury (ABI) may help identify pathophysiological pathways and potential biomarkers that can predict unfavorable outcome. In this prospective proteomic analysis study, consecutive patients with severe ABI expected to require intraventricular catheterization for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring for at least 5 days and patients without ABI admitted for elective clipping of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm were included. vCSF samples were collected within the first 24 h after ABI and ventriculostomy insertion and then every 24 h for 5 days. Data-independent acquisition and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra (SWATH) mass spectrometry were used to compare differences in protein expression in patients with ABI and patients without ABI and in patients with traumatic and nontraumatic ABI. We included 50 patients with ABI (SAH n = 23, TBI n = 15, intracranial hemorrhage n = 6, ischemic stroke n = 3, others n = 3) and 12 patients without ABI. There were significant differences in the expression of 255 proteins between patients with and without ABI (p < 0.01). There were intraday and interday differences in expression of seven proteins related to increased inflammation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and cellular response to hypoxia and injury. Among these, glial fibrillary acidic protein expression was higher in patients with ABI with severe intracranial hypertension (ICH) (ICP ? 30 mm Hg) or death compared to those without (log 2 fold change: +2.4; p < 0.001), suggesting extensive primary astroglial injury or death. Dysregulated vCSF protein expression after ABI may be associated with an increased risk of severe ICH and death. Resumen: El análisis cuantitativo de las proteínas en el líquido cefalorraquídeo ventricular (vLCR) después de una lesión cerebral aguda (LCA) puede ayudar a identificar vías fisiopatológicas y posibles biomarcadores que pueden predecir un resultado desfavorable. En este estudio prospectivo de análisis proteómico, se incluyeron pacientes consecutivos con LCA grave que se esperaba que necesitaran cateterismo intraventricular cerebral para monitorizar la presión intracraneal (PIC) durante al menos 5 días y pacientes sin LCA ingresados para clipaje electivo de un aneurisma cerebral no roto. Las muestras de vCSF se recolectaron dentro de las primeras 24 h después de la inserción del ITB y la ventriculostomía y luego cada 24 h durante 5 días. Se utilizó la espectrometría de masas de adquisición independiente de datos y adquisición de ventana secuencial de todos los espectros teóricos (SWATH) para comparar las diferencias en la expresión de proteínas en pacientes con LCA y pacientes sin LCA y en pacientes con LCA traumática y no traumática. Se incluyeron 50 pacientes con LCA (HSA n = 23, TCE n = 15, hemorragia intracraneal n = 6, ictus isquémico n = 3, otros n = 3) y 12 pacientes sin LCA. Hubo diferencias significativas en la expresión de 255 proteínas entre pacientes con y sin LCA (p <0,01). Hubo diferencias intradía e interdía en la expresión de siete proteínas relacionadas con el aumento de la inflamación, la apoptosis, el estrés oxidativo y la respuesta celular a la hipoxia y las lesiones. Entre estos, la expresión de la proteína ácida fibrilar glial fue mayor en pacientes con LCA con hipertensión intracraneal (HIC) grave (PIC ? 30 mm Hg) o muerte en comparación con aquellos sin (cambio log 2 veces: + 2,4; p < 0,001), lo que sugiere una extensa Lesión astroglial primaria. La expresión desregulada de las proteínas en el vLCR después de una LCA puede estar asociada con un mayor riesgo de HIC grave y muerte.

La salud pública es más que epidemiología = Public health is more than epidemiology

Por: Carlos Alberto Rosas Ramírez | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: One of the great challenges for students of any discipline is to be able to put into practice the knowledge learned in theory. Public health does not escape this challenge. Research Methods for Public Health is a book that seeks to help students understand in a simple way how to enter into the practice of public health research. This book stands out for its easy reading, but especially because it emphasizes the existence of quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as the combination of both methods. On the other hand, the authors show between the lines, and sometimes more clearly, the importance of teamwork in research groups, a key element to avoid errors, validate procedures or instruments and increase the reliability of the results, as well as the importance of criteria of validity, reliability, precision, relevance, transparency and credibility, among others. Resumen: Uno de los grandes retos para los estudiantes de cualquier disciplina es poder poner en práctica los conocimientos aprendidos en la teoría. La salud pública no se escapa de este desafío. Research Methods for Public Health es un libro que busca ayudar a comprender de manera sencilla cómo introducirse en la práctica de la investigación en salud pública. Este libro se destaca por su fácil lectura, pero especialmente porque pone el énfasis en la existencia de los métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos, así como en la combinación de ambos métodos. Por otro lado, los autores dejan ver entrelíneas, y a veces más claramente, la importancia del trabajo en equipo en los grupos de investigación, elemento clave para evitar errores, validar procedimientos o instrumentos y aumentar la confiabilidad de los resultados, así como la importancia de criterios de validez, confiabilidad, precisión, relevancia, transparencia y credibilidad, entre otros.

Image-guided programming of electrical settings in patients with Parkinson’s disease treated with bilateral subthalamic stimulation and suboptimal outcome

Por: Viviana Torres Ballesteros | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is a treatment in the advanced stage of Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite close follow-up, multiple evaluations, and several months of timeconsuming programming sessions, the clinical response may not be optimal in some cases. Imageguided programming (I-GP) could help optimize programming sessions with better clinical outcomes. Objective: To evaluate clinical and quality of life (QoL) outcomes with I-GP in PD patients with DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and suboptimal clinical improvement and refractory symptoms to conventional clinical programming. Methods: A prospective study in 16 patients with a diagnosis of PD with STN-DBS and remaining adverse effects or symptoms despite a clinical programming adjustment. We simulate potentially effective stimulation based on volume tissue activated (VTA) using commercially available software tools. Clinical outcomes were assessed with motor and quality of life scales. Results: The most frequent suboptimal symptom was gait disorder 33.3% (n=9), residual motor symptoms 25.9%(n=7), and speech 25.9%(n=7). Statistically significant results (p=0.001) were found after I-GP with change in the global Deep Brain Stimulation – Impairment score (41%), The 8- item version of the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (47%), EuroQol visual analogue scale (62%), and motor scale (24%). Conclusions: In suboptimal cases of patients with PD and STN-DBS, especially with ongoing and residual motor symptoms, I-GP could be useful to optimize the programming of DBS and improve patients' QoL.

Hypoxia Differentially Affects Healthy Men and Women During a Daytime Nap With a Dose-Response Relationship: a Randomized, Cross-Over Pilot Study

Por: Alain; Penzel Riveros-Rivera | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: Context: Whether due to geopolitical instability, as in Colombia or Venezuela, global warming, or simply tourism, the movement of lowlanders to high altitudes is increasing. This population movement is accompanied by increased symptoms of physiological deconditioning, among which sleep disturbances stand out. In this scenario, napping is a counter measurement for sleep disturbances; however, its benefits or physiological changes at high altitudes have not been explored. Objective: To evaluate the physiological changes during a nap in conditions simulating high altitude. Methods: Randomized, single-blind, three period cross-over pilot study conducted with 15 healthy lowlander subjects (8 women) with a mean (SD) age of 29(6) years. Volunteers underwent an evaluation around a 90 min midday nap, being allocated to a randomized sequence of three conditions: FiO2 21% (NN), FiO2 14.7% (NH15) and 12.5% (NH13). Results: Compared to NN, RR during napping was shortened by 57 and 206 ms under NH15 and NH13 conditions, respectively (p <0.001). Sympathetic predominance was evident by HRV and increased epinephrine levels. Concomitantly, there were significant changes in endocrine parameters such as EPO (~6 UI/L) and cortisol (~100 nmol/L) (NH13 vs. NN, p < 0.001). Cognitive evaluation revealed changes in the color-word Stroop test. Although sleep efficiency was preserved, polysomnography showed lesser N3 and REM sleep, and periodic breathing, predominantly in men. Conclusions: although napping may have metabolic and cognitive benefits, its implementation as a counter measurement in conditions of altitudinal hypoxia should be carefully evaluated as it could increase the occurrence of sleep disturbances with consequences on autonomic, endocrine and respiratory systems.

Resumen: Contexto: Ya sea por inestabilidad geopolítica, como ocurre en Colombia o Venezuela, por el calentamiento global, o simplemente por turismo, cada vez el desplazamiento de nativos de bajas alturas hacia las grandes alturas es mayor. Este movimiento poblacional se acompaña de un incremento en síntomas de desacondicionamiento fisiológico dentro de los que destacan las perturbaciones del sueño. En este escenario la siesta aparece como una medida contrarreguladora para las alteraciones del sueño; sin embargo, sus beneficios o cambios fisiológicos en las grandes alturas no ha sido explorado. Objetivo: Evaluar los cambios fisiológicos durante una siesta en condiciones que simulan la altura. Metodología: Este fue un estudio piloto aleatorizado, ciego, cruzado llevado a cabo con 15 sujetos nativos de bajas alturas (8 mujeres) con una edad promedio de 29 años (D.E.=6 años). Los voluntarios fueron evaluados fisiológicamente alrededor a una siesta de aproximadamente 90 min, siendo dispuestos en una secuencia aleatoria de tres condiciones: FiO2 de 21% (NN), FiO2 de 14,7% (NH15) y de 12,5% (NH13), con un periodo de reposo entre condiciones de una semana. Resultados: Comparado con NN, los intervalor RR durante la siesta se acortaron significativamente (p < 0,001) en 57 ms (NH15) y 206 ms (NH13). El predominio simpático fue evidente por el análisis de la variabilidad de frecuencia cardiaca y los niveles aumentados de adrenalina. Concomitántemente, hubo cambios significativos en parámetros endocrinos tales como al eritropoyetina (~6 UI/L) y cortisol (~100 nmol/L) (NH13 VS. NN, p < 0,001). La evaluación cognitiva mostró cambios en la prueba de Stroop. Adicionalmente, aunque la eficiencia del sueño se preservó, los resultados polisomnográficos mostraron una disminución en el sueño profundo y MOR, y un incremento de respiración periódica, fundamentalmente en hombres. Conclusiones: aunque tomar la siesta pueda tener beneficios metabólicos y cognitivos, su implementación como contrarreguladora en condiciones de hipoxia altitudinal debe ser evaluada cuidadosamente ya que podría incrementar la aparición de perturbaciones del sueño con efectos en los sistemas autónomo, endocrino y respiratorio.

Risk Factors for High-Arched Palate and Posterior Crossbite at the Age of 5 in Children Born Very Preterm: EPIPAGE-2 Cohort Study = Factores de riesgo para paladar ojival y mordida cruzada posterior a la edad de 5 años en niños nacidos muy prematuros: estudio de cohorte EPIPAGE-2

Por: Sandra; Pierrat Herrera | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: Introduction: Children born very preterm have an immature sucking reflex at birth and are exposed to neonatal care that can impede proper palate growth. Objectives: We aimed to describe the frequency of high-arched palate and posterior crossbite at the age of 5 in children born very preterm and to identify their respective risk factors. Methods: Our study was based on the data from EPIPAGE-2, a French national prospective cohort study, and included 2,594 children born between 24- and 31-week gestation. Outcomes were high-arched palate and posterior crossbite. Multivariable models estimated by generalized estimation equations with multiple imputation were used to study the association between the potential risk factors studied and each outcome. Results: Overall, 8 % of children born very preterm had a high-arched palate and 15 % posterior crossbite. The odds of high-arched palate were increased for children with low gestational age (24–29 vs. 30–31 weeks of gestation) [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17, 2.66], thumb-sucking habits at the age of 2 (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.03, 2.28), and cerebral palsy (aOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.28, 3.69). The odds of posterior crossbite were increased for children with pacifier-sucking habits at the age of 2 (aOR 1.75, 95% CI 1.30, 2.36). Conclusions: Among very preterm children, low gestational age and cerebral palsy are the specific risk factors for a high-arched palate. High-arched palate and posterior crossbite share non-nutritive sucking habits as a common risk factor. The oro-facial growth of these children should be monitored. Resumen: Introducción: Los niños que nacen muy prematuros tienen un reflejo de succión inmaduro al nacer y están expuestos a cuidados neonatales que pueden impedir el correcto crecimiento del paladar. Objetivos: Nuestro objetivo fue describir la frecuencia de paladar ojival y mordida cruzada posterior a la edad de 5 años en niños nacidos muy prematuros e identificar sus respectivos factores de riesgo. Métodos: Nuestro estudio se basó en los datos de EPIPAGE-2, un estudio de cohorte prospectivo nacional francés, e incluyó a 2 594 niños nacidos entre las semanas 24 y 31 de gestación. Los resultados fueron paladar ojival y mordida cruzada posterior. Se utilizaron modelos multivariables estimados por ecuaciones de estimación generalizadas con imputación múltiple para estudiar la asociación entre los potenciales factores de riesgo estudiados y cada desenlace. Resultados: En general, el 8% de los niños nacidos muy prematuros tenían paladar ojival y el 15% mordida cruzada posterior. Las probabilidades de paladar ojival aumentaron para niños con edad gestacional baja (24–29 vs. 30–31 semanas de gestación) [odds ratio ajustado (ORa) 1,76, intervalo de confianza (IC) del 95 % 1,17, 2,66], hábito de succión del pulgar a los 2 años (ORa 1,53, IC 95% 1,03, 2,28), y parálisis cerebral (ORa 2,18, IC 95% 1,28, 3,69). Las probabilidades de mordida cruzada posterior aumentaron para los niños con hábitos de succión del chupete a la edad de 2 años (ORa 1,75, IC del 95%: 1,30, 2,36). Conclusiones: Entre los niños muy prematuros, la baja edad gestacional y la parálisis cerebral son los factores de riesgo específicos para paladar ojival. El paladar ojival y la mordida cruzada posterior comparten hábitos de succión no nutritiva como factor de riesgo común. El crecimiento orofacial de estos niños debe ser monitoreado.

Risk factors associated with late diagnosis and mortality in Latin American migrants living with HIV in England = Factores de riesgo asociados con el diagnóstico tardío y la mortalidad en migrantes latinoamericanos que viven con VIH en Inglaterra

Por: Andrés Felipe Mora Salamanca | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: Background: Although Latin American migrants (LAMs) are one of the fastest-growing migrant populations in England, they still face health barriers that make them unaware of their HIV status, leading to late HIV diagnosis, AIDS, and even death. Thus, this study aims to assess the differences in HIV outcomes among newly HIV-diagnosed LAMs compared to other England populations. Methods: Data on new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in the UK during the 2011-2020 period were obtained from the HIV and AIDS New Diagnoses and Deaths Database (HANDD) and the HIV and AIDS Reporting System (HARS). Potential associations between the region of birth and late HIV diagnosis, AIDS at HIV diagnosis, and mortality were analysed by logistic regression. Furthermore, a comparison between LAMs and the main populations living in the UK was examined. Lastly, a descriptive trend analysis was made. Results: From 2011 to 2020, 47,828 new HIV diagnoses were reported in the UK, with almost a third (29.2%) being late diagnoses. Over half of new diagnoses (52%) were made in migrants, LAMs representing 9.3% of those diagnoses. In general, newly diagnosed HIV LAMs are not more likely to be diagnosed late than UK residents (aRRR: 1.02; 95%CI: 0.90–1.15). However, some subgroups are more likely to be diagnosed late than their UK counterparts (e.g., 15-24 years old). Regarding AIDS and mortality, LAMs are less likely to be diagnosed with AIDS (aOR: 0.50; 95%CI: 0.35–0.71) or die by any cause (aOR: 0.29; 95%CI: 0.16–0.52) than UK residents. Finally, the number of new HIV diagnoses among LAMs increased in those ten years, but the number of late diagnoses remained nearly constant. Conclusions: Although the current HIV epidemiological situation of LAMs living in the UK is not troublesome, the expansion of the LAM population and their increasing number of new HIV diagnoses could become a public health challenge in the coming years. Therefore, to accomplish the 2030 zero HIV transmission goal, it is necessary to integrate the migrant community into future public policies and categorise them as the ‘sixth’ HIV key population in the UK.

Targeting bacterial outer-membrane remodelling to impact antimicrobial drug resistance

Por: Natalia Carolina; Lithgow Rosas Bastidas | Fecha: 2022

Abstract: The cell envelope is essential for the survival and adaptation of bacteria. Bacterial membrane proteins include the major porins that mediate the influx of nutrients and several classes of antimicrobial drugs. Consequently, membrane remodelling is closely linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Knowledge of bacterial membrane protein biogenesis and turnover underpins our understanding of bacterial membrane remodelling and the consequences that this process has in the evolution of AMR phenotypes. At the population level, the evolution of phenotypes is a reversible process, and we can use these insights to deploy evolutionary principles to resensitize bacteria to existing antimicrobial drugs. In our opinion, fundamental knowledge is opening a new way of thinking towards sustainable solutions to the mounting crisis in AMR. Here we discuss what is known about outer-membrane remodelling in bacteria and how the process could be targeted as a means to restore sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs. Bacteriophages are highlighted as a powerful means to exert this control over membrane remodelling but they require careful selection so as to reverse, and not exacerbate AMR phenotypes.
