A comparative study of a surgical method and scaling and root planing using the Odontoson(R)
No full textThis investigation compared a traditional periodontal surgical method with a non-surgical treatment of scaling and root planing by an ultrasonic device (Odontoson M(R)) using irrigation with an iodised solution. 8 adult patients with periodontal disease were each treated at 2 randomly chosen quadrants by a Widman flap type surgical technique, and the remaining non-surgically. The patients then attended bi-monthly oral hygiene sessions over a period of 1 year. At that stage, clinical evaluation revealed that the Odontoson M(R) plus an ionized irrigant solution achieved a statistically comparable outcome to that of surgical treatment, even in the pockets initially up to 7 mm in depth
Laser spectroscopy and imaging applications for the study of cultural heritage murals
No full textLaser induced fluorescence (LIF) associated with imaging scanning techniques has already proved to be a powerful diagnostic tool for artworks. The aim is to assess on-site and remote sensing systems and imaging measurements on murals in order to detect vulnerability and weathering forms due to the effects of environmental conditions. It also seeks to identify treatments in order to optimize interventions by restorers. Four murals (16-18th centuries) were studied using a LIF prototype remotely operating in reflectance and fluorescence mode. Relevant spectral features are identified using principal component analysis and a spectral angle mapper to assess surfaces using imaging applications. The combination of these methods makes possible to identify bio-crust, fissures and the presence of different treatments. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Laser induced fluorescence applied to diagnosis in calcareous stones
No full textThe Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique has been already proved to be a powerful diagnostic tool for artworks. The aim of this work is to validate LIF measurements to detect the different detrimental effects of the environmental conditions on the stone materials and to discriminate among different biofilms and crust from smog or pollutants, in order to optimize the restorers’ interventions. A scanning LIF system at 266 nm excitation wavelength has been employed. The line scanning system has operated in two operating mode: reflectance and fluorescence. Reflectance measurements are made by performing a scan while the laser is off and the sample is exposed to the light emitted by a NIST traceable lamp. The result gives for each pixel of the scanned area the reflectance spectrum, from which the CIE/lab coordinates can be computed once the system is calibrated against a reference surface. The samples were placed on a holder for LIF measurements. The acquisition system was placed at than 3.5 m distance from the target and several images acquired with a spatial resolution of approximately 0.0025 m. The most relevant spectral features of crusts are identified by Principal Component analysis. Three groups of samples can be detected: a) samples with blue false color in the images, that are mainly formed by biocrust, b) samples mainly composed with crust and deposits with yellow or green colour, c) samples with no difference between faces. These classifications of samples are mainly according to the results obtained by morphometric techniques. LIF and reflectance measures seems a very powerful technique in this preliminary results, to discriminate the presence of biocrust and crusts/deposits with more sensitive that a naked-eye at 2.5 m of monuments. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, London

Growth hormone stimulation tests in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson'sdisease
No full textIdiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder whose differential diagnosis from other forms of atypical parkinsonism, for instance multiple system atrophy (MSA) or progressive supranuclear palsy, may be difficult, especially in the early stages. Growth hormone stimulation tests have been recently reported to be useful in the differential diagnosis between IPD and MSA. Both clonidine, an alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist, and arginine, an amino acid activating the cholinergic system, have been used to assess growth hormone response in patients with IPD and MSA. This review summarizes the results of several studies and discusses the validity of these tests in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonisms
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

No full textHyperprolactinemia after menopause: Diagnosis and management
No full textMost prolactinomas are diagnosed in women of reproductive age and are generally microadenomas. Prolactinomas diagnosed in postmenopausal women are less common and are not usually associated with the typical syndrome induced by prolactin excess, including infertility and oligo-amenorrhea. This implies that the diagnosis of prolactinomas after menopause may be delayed and require greater clinical effort. Limited data are available on the management and prognosis of prolactinomas in postmenopausal women. However, the physiologic decline of prolactin levels during menopause and the lack of fertility concerns, which represent specific indications for medical treatment with dopamine agonists, might require a careful reassessment of therapeutic management in such patients. Postmenopausal women with microprolactinoma may be successfully withdrawn from medical therapy with dopamine agonists, whereas in those with macroprolactinomas greater caution is advisable before dopamine agonists are discontinued, considering the potential, although rare, tumor enlargement. This review focuses on the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic management of prolactinomas in postmenopausal women
