B.G. Loos, W. J. Teeuw, V. Gerdes en F. Abbas geven een reactie op dit commentaar en betogen dat behandeling van parodontitis bij patiënten met diabetes mellitus altijd zin heeft

Musika eta Mintzairaren Sorrera
No full textEn el presente artículo el autor se refiere a la relación evolutiva entre música y lenguaje y a la naturaleza de ambas habilidades, exponiendo distintas teorías del pasado y actuales en torno a la cuestión. El articulista defiende con B.G. Levman que tanto el lenguaje como la música nacieron de una misma capacidad primitiva y considera aquel lenguaje fundamentalmente como música. Da cuenta de los pros y los contras de las hipótesis que adelanta. En este sentido, expone las conductas de diversos pueblos y razas y diferentes animales, componiendo un tratamiento particularmente completo del tema con análisis efectuados desde diversas disciplinas: etnomusicología, etología, antropología, psicología, acústica.Artikulu honetan autoreak musika eta mintzairaren harreman ebolutiboaz nahiz bi gaitasunon izaeraz dihardu, horren gainean diren eta izan diren teoria ezberdinak azalduz. B.G. Levman artikulugileak berak bai mintzaira eta bai musika antzin-gaitasun beretik sortu zirela defenditzen du, eta orduko mintzaira hura funtsean musikazkotzat jotzen du. Agertzen dituen hipotesien aldekotasun eta kontrakotasunak ematen ditu. Horretarako mundu zabaleko hainbat herri eta animalia arrazen jokamoldeak ekartzen ditu paperera, eta etnomusikologia, etologia, antropologia, psikologia, akustikaren ikuspegitik aztertzen, gaiaren tratamendu bereziki borobila eta osatua eginez.Dans cet article, l'auteur parle de la relation évolutive entre musique et langage et la nature de ces deux talents, en exposant différentes théories du passé et du présent concernant cette question. L'auteur et B.G. Levman défendent la théorie qui soutient que le langage et la musique naquirent d'une même capacité primitive et considèrent ce langage fondamentalement comme de la musique. Il explique le pour et le contre de l'hypothèse qu'il avance. Dans ce sens, il expose les conduites de divers peuples et races et de différents animaux, en traitant le sujet d'une façon particulièrement complète, avec des analyses sur diverses disciplines: ethno-musicologie, éthologie, anthropologie, psychologie, acoustic.In the present article the author makes reference to the evolutionary relationship between music and language and to the nature of both skills, exposing different theories in the past and present in connection with this issue. The author maintains, together with B.G.Levman, that both language and music were born out of the same primitive capacity and considers that language is, fundamentally, music. He also reports on the pros and cons of the hypothesis he advances. In this sense, he describes the conduct of various peoples and races and of various animals, constructing a particularly complete treatment of the topic with analysis carried out from various disciplines: ethnomusicology, ethology, anthropology and psychology
The link between periodontitis and erectile dysfunction (vasculogenic impotence).
No full textPERIODONTITIS HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACVD). Based on longitudinal studies in large cohorts it has been shown that periodontitis can be regarded as another risk factor for the sequalae of ACVD such as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accidents and death. Atherosclerotic pathology lays at the basis of ACVD events and periodontitis can exacerbate at the atherogenic process. With this knowledge, it seems highly conceivable that periodontitis is also associated with erectile dysfunction (ED; vasculogenic importence). Currently ED is mainly considered as another complication of atherosclerotic changes in the vascular system. Nine studies have investigated the relationship of ED with periodontitis and all found an association. One meta-analysis, including 4 eligible (out total of 9) studies reported a significant odds ratio (OR) of 3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.87 - 5.05, p <0.001] for the association. However, there was considerable heterogeneity among the 4 studies. Moreover, one short-term treatment study indicated that periodontal intervention can decrease ED complaints as measured by questionnaires. These preliminary positive results can also be included in the motivation of dental professionals and male patients; periodontitis screening and, if indicated, periodontal treatment, seems helpful to manage this form of impotence

Severe Periodontitis May Result in Higher Numbers of Oral Polymorphonuclear (oPMN) Leukocytes in Oral Rinse Samples
No full textSubjects. Apparently 124 subjects were recruited from clinics at the university dental school. However, the total number of subjects used in the study is unclear; Table 1 reports a total of 112 subjects and Table 2 reports smoking data for 122. Table 2 reports a nearly equal distribution of males/females (49% versus 51%). There is no information on the dates/period of recruitment. There is no flow chart presented on numbers of subjects screened, or subjects excluded or refusing to participate. All dental patients could be included as far as has been reported, except those with “systemic disease that could affect neutrophil function.” However, individuals with diabetes, and perhaps rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, could be included. Moreover “neutrophil function” is not studied here; only neutrophil counts. Key Risk/Study Factor. In this report “periodontitis” is identified as the cause for increased numbers of oPMN leukocytes in an oral rinse sample. Main Outcome Measure. The main outcome measure is total number (count) of oPMN leukocytes in an oral rinse sample. Main Results. Patients with severe periodontitis had 5.5 × 106 (standard error 6.4 × 106) oPMN leukocytes from one oral rinse with 10 ml PBS for 30 s, compared with 0.7 × 106 (standard error 0.1 × 106) in individuals with a healthy periodontium (also not having gingivitis). Moreover, there were correlations between oPMN numbers and numbers of pockets >5 mm and % of sites with bleeding on probing. These results have not been adjusted for potential confounding factors, such as sex, age, diabetes, or smoking. Only non-parametric statistics have been used. Of note, the numbers of oPMN leukocytes are derived from 10 ml rinse, but after centrifugation resuspended in 5 ml PBS; the reported numbers therefore are twice as high as in the original 10-ml rinse sample, if one considers a “per ml” unit. Conclusions. The authors show increased numbers of oPMN leukocytes in an oral rinse with 10 ml PBS of 30 s in patients with severe periodontitis compared with periodontally healthy subjects. There were no significant differences found for oPMN numbers between healthy on one side and mild or moderate periodontitis or gingivitis on the other side
