by a variety of local and systemic factors. This report describes a case of multiple and severe apical
root resorptions in a patient with Turner syndrome. The condition was discovered in a young female
with Turner syndrome after 30 months of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliance. The purpose
of this report is to present reports by other authors on the potential causes of the increased risk of
tooth resorption in patients with Turner syndrome and to share insights derived from its course,
highlighting the implications and lessons learned. Patients with Turner syndrome are not ideal
candidates for orthodontic treatment. Prior to commencing orthodontic treatment, it is essential
to carefully consider the potential benefits of the therapy compared to the risk associated with
exacerbating root resorption. In the case of Turner syndrome patients, where there is an elevated risk
of such complications, a thorough analysis should be conducted to determine whether the expected
benefits of the treatment outweigh the potential hazards to the patient’s dental health.Odontologí
El papel de la rúbrica en la evaluación continúa: el área de finanzas
No full textEl interés que despierta este trabajo por la utilización de las rúbricas tiene lugar a partir de un proceso de análisis y reflexión de los criterios de evaluación que hasta la fecha se han aplicado dentro del módulo de finanzas. Así, se observa que los criterios de evaluación no muestran con claridad el grado de aprendizaje conseguido por el alumno, no sólo de los conocimientos sino también en las competencias previamente definidas en el citado módulo. Ante esta situación se plantea la necesidad de incorporar la utilización de instrumentos válidos y adecuados a lo largo del semestre que que persigan favorecer el grado de motivación del alumno en el desarrollo de las actividades, evitando un desánimo inmediato y la necesidad de acudir de forma reiterada a un refuerzo positivo por parte del docente en cada paso resolutivo.Administración y Dirección de Empresa
Literatura como Logos: Una lectura de An Experiment in Criticism de Clive Staples Lewis
Get PDFClive Staples Lewis (1998-1963), escritor, profesor y crítico literario, planteó en su ensayo de 1961 An Experiment in Criticism (La experiencia de leer. Un ejercicio de crítica experimental) una propuesta de crítica literaria novedosa en la época. Para comprenderla, este trabajo, que emplea una metodología cualitativa y comparativa, con un enfoque descriptivo centrado en el contenido, repasa y analiza su biografía, sus gustos literarios, sus escritos y la evolución de su pensamiento. Desde su infancia sintió Lewis un «anhelo» (longing) de trascender la realidad fenoménica para alcanzar la verdad de las cosas a través del arte y la espiritualidad. De ahí que considere fundamental el concepto de la imaginación como facultad estética pero también cognoscitiva que, mediante su engarce con la razón, permite acceder tanto al disfrute estético de las obras de arte como a su mensaje. Sostiene que en el acto de leer confluyen el autor, el texto y el lector y plantea el concepto de «Literatura como Logos». El autor, inspirado por el Logos, conocimiento común a toda la humanidad, transmite en la obra una simiente que, si el terreno es propicio, germinará en el espíritu del lector, originándose un proceso generador análogo al que se produce en la naturaleza física de las cosas. Una propuesta de crítica literaria innovadora en su tiempo y que abrió caminos a la crítica literaria posterior.Clive Staples Lewis (1998-1963), writer, professor and literary critic, put forward in his 1961 essay An Experiment in Criticism a proposal for literary criticism that was novel at the time. In order to understand it, this work, which employs a qualitative and comparative methodology, with a descriptive approach focused on content, reviews and analyses his biography, his literary tastes, his writings and the evolution of his thought. From his childhood Lewis felt a "longing" to transcend phenomenal reality in order to reach the truth of things through art and spirituality. Hence, he considers fundamental the concept of imagination as an aesthetic but also a cognitive faculty which, through its connection with reason, allows access both to the aesthetic enjoyment of works of art and to their message. He argues that in the act of reading, the author, the text and the reader converge and puts forward the concept of "Literature as Logos". The author, inspired by the Logos, knowledge common to all humanity, transmits in the work a seed which, if the soil is propitious, will germinate in the spirit of the reader, giving rise to a generative process analogous to that which takes place in the physical nature of things. This was an innovative approach to literary criticism in its time and opened the way for subsequent literary criticism.FilosofíaPrograma de Doctorado en los Retos de las Ciencias Sociales y Humanas en la Sociedad del Siglo XX
Modernity and Ars Vivendi: a reinterpretation of the origins of modern thought
Get PDFLa interpretación usual de la Modernidad es la de una época de cambio radical por respecto a los modelos tradicionales de pensamiento, en la filosofía, en las ciencias o en las artes. En ese sentido, se habría producido una revolución, del Renacimiento en adelante, que dejó atrás los saberes de la Antigüedad, y esto parece claro en el caso de la concepción del pensamiento filosófico como ars vivendi que, supues-tamente, se hundió en el olvido hasta prácticamente nuestros días. No obstante, si se atiende a la obra de autores como Michel de Montaigne o René Descartes es posible encontrar una propuesta de filosofía como forma de vida distintivamente moderna. En el primer caso, Montaigne puede parecer simplemente un heredero de los pensadores griegos y romanos, pero su filosofía vital se separa claramente del arte de vivir de la Antigüedad. En el segundo, quizá el más claro ejemplo de un filó-sofo en apariencia desinteresado por cuestiones morales, encontramos también una novedosa propuesta de ars vivendi, donde el conocimiento y el cuidado de sí continúan tan vigentes como en los clásicos, aunque todo se diga de otra maneraThe usual interpretation of Modernity is that of an era of radical change with respect to traditional models of thought, whether in philosophy, science, or the arts. In that sense, a revolution would have taken place, starting from the Renaissance onwards, leaving behind the knowledge of Antiquity. This seems evident in the case of the conception of philosophical thought as ars vivendi, which supposedly sank into oblivion until practically our own days. However, by examining the works of authors such as Michel de Montaigne and René Descartes, it is possible to find a proposal for philosophy as a distinctly modern way of life. In the first case, Montaigne may appear as a mere heir to Greek and Roman thinkers, but his vital philosophy clearly departs from the art of living in Antiquity. In the latter case, perhaps the clearest example of a philosopher supposedly uninterested in moral questions, we also find a novel proposal of ars vivendi, where knowledge and self-care remain as relevant as in the classics, although expressed in a different mannerMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación «Éticas y metafísica de los afectos: las génesis modernas» (PID 2021 12612333NB-100) Grupo de investigación «Historia conceptual y crítica de la Modernidad» (GIUV2013-037)Filosofí
Maneras de pensar, maneras de vivir
Get PDFLa idea de que la filosofía no es un mero ejercicio teórico y abstracto, sino una práctica transformadora que incide en la vida misma y en la construcción de valores, se encuentra en la concepción antigua de la filosofía como arte de vivir (ars vitae o ars vivendi) y en sus desarrollos modernos y contemporáneos. Distintos autores y tradiciones, desde Epicuro y Séneca, Montaigne y Gracián, Schopenhauer y Nietzsche, Heidegger y Sartre, Fromm y Foucault hasta Sloterdijk y Butler, han ofrecido múltiples caracterizaciones de la filosofía del arte de vivir –forma de vida, ejercicio, terapia del alma, cuidado de sí, camino de perfección, pensamiento crítico y creativo, estética de la existencia, búsqueda del sentido, antropotécnica– y han desarrollado conceptos tales como los de compasión, reconocimiento, autenticidad, libertad o autocreación para entender el mundo y desarrollar formas éticas de actuar con sabiduría.Filosofí

Aortic thrombosis and acute kidney injury due to atherosclerosis in a dog
Get PDFOBJECTIVE
Atherosclerosis is a chronic lipid-driven inflammatory disease of the arterial wall. Due to its cardiovascular ischemic
complications, it is one of the most common causes of death in people. However, atherosclerosis is seldomly reported in dogs.
ANIMAL
A 10-year-old male mixed-breed dog.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES
Severe acute kidney injury associated with thrombosis of the abdominal aorta.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
Treatment included renal replacement therapy, antithrombotic therapy, and supportive care. However, the dog developed neurological and respiratory complications and was euthanized due to worsening kidney function and lack
of improvement of the thrombosis. Postmortem examination confirmed the presence of aortic thromboembolism
and renal infarcts. Histology revealed severe chronic-active atherosclerosis of the distal aorta and renal arteries.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Aortic thrombosis is uncommon in dogs, and it is often associated with underlying conditions such as protein-losing
nephropathy, endocrine disorders, cardiac disease, or hypercoagulability. In this case, no specific underlying cause
was identified and atherosclerosis was considered the primary cause of the thrombosis.Veterinari

Nanomaterials can be designed for immune system manipulation, with precise targeted delivery and improved immunomodulatory efficacy. Here, we elaborate on various strategies using nanomaterials, including liposomes, polymers, and inorganic NPs, and discuss their detailed design intricacies, mechanisms, and applications, including the current regulatory issues. This type of nanomaterial design for targeting specific immune cells or tissues and controlling release kinetics could push current technological frontiers and provide new and innovative solutions for immune-related disorders and diseases without off-target effects. These materials enable targeted interactions with immune cells, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, and adoptive cell therapies. Moreover, they allow for fine-tuning of immune responses while minimizing side effects. At the intersection of nanotechnology and immunology, nanomaterial-based platforms have immense potential to revolutionize patient-centered immunotherapy and reshape disease management. By prioritizing safety, customization, and compliance with regulatory standards, these systems can make significant contributions to precision medicine, thereby significantly impacting the healthcare landscape.Biotecnologí

Cadaveric study of the ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block over the transverse process of the twelfth thoracic vertebra in dogs: Transversal vs longitudinal approach
Get PDFThis study describes a transversal (TV) ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block technique over the
transverse process of T12. And evaluates the distribution of the dye and affected nerves branches compared to a
longitudinal (LNG) approach over the transverse process of T12 in canine cadavers. Secondly, it also compares de
anatomy and dimensions of the transverse processes of T12 with T9 and T5. For this double-masked, cadaveric
experimental study, 12 adult Beagle cadavers were injected with 0.6 mL/kg of dye/contrast. Spread was eval-
uated by computed tomography (CT) and dissection.
Mean bodyweight was 9.76 (±0.59) kg. The TV and LNG approaches stained a median (range) of four (2–6)
and three (1–6) medial branches of the dorsal rami of the spinal nerves, three (2–6) and three (2–5) lateral
branches, and one (0 3) and one (0 4) ventral branches, respectively. Dye was detected in the epidural space in
55.6% and 66.7% of cases for the TV and LNG approaches, respectively (P=0.63). And in the ventral para-
vertebral compartment in 22.2% and lymphatics in 88.8% in both approaches. There were no statistical dif-
ferences for the spread. The dorsolateral edge of the transverse process (TP) was not visible with CT at T12. The
mean (±SD) length of the TP was significantly shorter at T12 [3.34 (±0.22)] mm, compared to T9 [6.08 (±0.47)]
mm and T5 [5.93 (±0.62)] mm (P <0.001). This study showed similar distribution whether using a TV or LNG
approach and differences in the anatomy and length of the T12 TP.Veterinari
