Rehabilitación protésica unitaria sobre implante óseo integrado
Get PDFIntroduction: integrated bone-implants constitute a system that is installed in the remnant bone, this system reproduces the function of one or more lost tooth roots, on which prosthetic restorations of totally or partially edentulous patients are constructed. Case report: the case of a 44-year-old partially edentulous male patient assisted by the multidisciplinary team of the implantology clinic at Antonio Briones Montoto Dentistry Clinic in Pinar del Río. Conclusions: masticatory, aesthetic and phonetic functions were restored and comfort was given to the patient without any displacement of the crown. It was a clinically satisfactory and effective treatment in long term. Introducción: los implantes oseointegrados constituyen un sistema que, instalado en el hueso remanente, reproducen la función de una o más raíces dentarias perdidas, sobre las que se construyen restauraciones protésicas de pacientes total o parcialmente desdentados. Caso clínico: se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 44 años desdentado parcial, atendido por el equipo multidisciplinario de la consulta de implantología en la Clínica Estomatológica "Antonio Briones Montoto" de Pinar del Río. Conclusiones: se restablecieron las funciones masticatorias, estéticas, fonéticas y proporcionó mayor comodidad al paciente sin observarse desplazamiento de la corona. Constituyó un tratamiento clínicamente satisfactorio y efectivo a largo plazo.
Alteraciones de la mucosa bucal en pacientes rehabilitados protésicamente en el Hospital General Abel Santamaría.
Get PDFTeniendo en cuenta que en Cuba el Programa del Adulto Mayor está insertado dentro de los cuatro programas priorizados del MINSAP y que este grupo poblacional constituye una cifra importante de los pacientes que acuden a consulta, se realiza un estudio descriptivo transversal en los meses comprendidos de enero a marzo del año 2006, el cual tiene como universo a los pacientes portadores de prótesis removibles totales o parciales, mayores de 60 años, que radican en el área de salud atendida por el consultorio 75, ubicado en el Reparto Montequín, perteneciente al policlínico “Hermanos Cruz” y atendido por la consulta de Prótesis del Departamento de Estomatología del Hospital General Docente “Abel Santamaría”. Se selecciona una muestra de pacientes para hacerles un examen bucal; con el objetivo de identificar lesiones en su mucosa bucal que puedan estar relacionadas con el estado funcional de las prótesis y ciertos hábitos de uso por ellos practicados, encontrándose como lesión más frecuente la úlcera traumática, hábitos de higiene inadecuados en gran número de personas entrevistadas, así como pacientes portadores de prótesis confeccionadas desde un prolongado tiempo. Estas lesiones atentan contra el equilibrio biopsicosocial de los individuos y algunas pueden dar origen a estados premalignos, por lo que esta investigación representa un gran beneficio para estos pacientes, pues de diagnosticarse alguna patología serán atendidos por el personal calificado que les devolverá su salud. Los resultados obtenidos se recogen por medio de un cuestionario; se procesan estadísticamente y se muestran en tablas

No full textConsidering “The Cuban Program for the Aged “a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out from January to March 2006 taking as sample the patients over 60 years old who had partial or total removable prosthesis. The patients belonged to the health area of “Hermanos Cruz “Doctor’s Office # 75 located in “Reparto Montequín “. The Dentistry Department at Abel Santamaria University Hospital offers service to these patients. They were examined with the purpose of identifying oral mucous lesions related to the functional conditions of the prosthesis and the practice of certain habits. The most frequent lesion was the traumatic ulcer; besides inadequate hygiene habits and the use of the same prosthesis for long periods of time. These lesions damage the psychosocial equilibrium of the
individuals and some of them can provoke pre-malignant conditions, being this study of great help to diagnose the pathologies associated with the use of dentistry prosthesis. Results obtained were collected through questionnaires, statisticalanalysis was conducted and showed in tables.Teniendo en cuenta que en Cuba el Programa del Adulto Mayor está insertado dentro de los cuatro programas priorizados del MINSAP y que este grupo

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
