Efficacy of two dosages of dexamethasone administered by submucosal injection on postoperative sequelae after third molar surgery: A retrospective study
No full textABSTRACT: Purpose: A retrospective clinical study was performed to compare the post-operative sequelae of the submucosal administration of two different low dosages of dexamethasone, after the surgical extraction of lower third molars. Methods: Data regarding edema, trismus, pain and analgesic consumption were collected from 150 subjects, selecting three equal groups (n= 50): a control group with no administered dexamethasone (G1); submucosal injection of dexamethasone 2 mg/0.5 ml (G2) and submucosal injection of dexamethasone 4 mg/1 ml (G3). Collected data were evaluated at three different time points: T0 before surgery, T1 on the third day after surgery and T2 on the 7th day after surgery. Patients’ gender and age were also considered for statistical purposes. Results: The effects on facial swelling reduction were statistically significant in G2 at T1 in the male subgroup. With trismus, the differences between the time points considered were statistically significant in G2 in the subgroup of subjects younger than 25 years old. Differences in analgesics taken were statistically significant when G1 and G2 were compared at T1. (Am J Dent 2022;35:233-237)
Michele Taruffo: el magisterio y la obra ejemplares del genial procesalista «todoterreno»
No full textThe author reflects on Michele Taruffo’s extraordinarily important contribution to the renewal of both conventional procedural law scholarship and the theoretical background of law-court professionals. Taruffo’s contribution was achieved by means of introducing to mainstream culture in those circles the necessary knowledge of the underlying epistemic dimension, which was traditionally suppressed by the strictly legal one.El autor discurre acerca de la importantísima contribución de Michele Taruffo a la renovación del procesalismo convencional y del bagaje teórico de los profesionales de la jurisdicción, mediante la incorporación a la cultura dominante en tales medios del imprescindible conocimiento de la dimensión epistémica subyacente y tradicionalmente sofocada por la propiamente jurídica
Gingival overgrowth caused by Olmesartan Medoxomil: Observational study
No full textObjective: Olmesartan Medoxomil is a type 1 receptor antagonist an antagonist of type 1 receptor (AT1) of angiotensin II (A-II) that inhibits numerous actions of A-II in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). A-II is a significant and multifunctional peptide involved in the pathophysiology of blood hypertension and for this reason it represents the main target in several classes of drugs used to treat and control arterial hypertension, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-i), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and renin direct inhibitors. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the two drugs that have as an active principle Olmesartan Medoxomil, with and without the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide, are able to determine gingival overgrowth. Study Design: 108 subjects were examined and divided into three groups: G1, subjects treated with Olmesartan Medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide (n=60); G2, subjects received only Olmesartan Medoxomil (n=24); G3, control group without pharmacological therapies (n=24). The plaque index (IP) and the gingival overgrowth index (OI) were recorded, considering the vertical and horizontal components. Results: Vertical overgrowth averaged between 0.17 ± 0.15 (G3) and 0.34 ± 0.26 (G2) showing statistically significant differences (p <0.05) compared to the other groups. Horizontal overgrowth ranged from 0.18 ± 0.26 (G3) to 0.49 ± 0.35 (G2) showing statistically significant differences (p <0.05). Conclusions: antihypertensive agents as Olmesartan Medoxomil may result in mild gingival overgrowth in the upper and lower frontal dental elements not related to other etiological factors

Il trionfo della morte di Palermo. Un'allegoria della modernità
No full textOriginariamente collocato nel cortile dell’Ospedale Grande e Nuovo in Palazzo Sclafani, il Trionfo della morte – ora custodito nella Galleria di Palazzo Abatellis, a Palermo – è una straordinaria enciclopedia iconografica medievale e moderna, di cui non conosciamo l’autore.
Il libro di Michele Cometa è una guida all’interpretazione del tessuto narrativo di questo formidabile affresco. Le molteplici fonti pittoriche e letterarie che ne costituiscono la trama convergono nel tratteggiare – evocando la peste nera che imperversava in Europa da più di un secolo – una sorta di confutazione iconologica del retribuzionismo medievale. Le pene mondane, infatti, non sono qui più riconducibili al peccato, ma si stemperano in una melanconia tutta modernaOriginally located in the courtyard of the Great and New Hospital in Palazzo Sclafani, the Triumph of Death - now housed in the Gallery of Palazzo Abatellis, in Palermo - is an extraordinary medieval and modern iconographic encyclopedia, of which we do not know the author.
Michele Cometa's book is a guide to interpreting the narrative fabric of this formidable fresco. The multiple pictorial and literary sources that make up the plot converge in outlining - evoking the black plague that raged in Europe for more than a century - a sort of iconological refutation of medieval retribution. In fact, worldly pains are no longer attributable to sin, but are dissolved in a wholly modern melancholy

It's the Way You Treat Me That Makes Me Angry, It's Not a Question of Madness: Good and Bad Practice In Dealing With Violence in the Mental Health Services
No full textAccessible Summary
What is known on the subject:
• The first access to a mental health service is sometimes marked by aggressive be-
haviours and anger. Forced hospitalization is frequently an occasion for resistance
and hostility to the service, which should not be mistaken for psychotic symptoms.
• If this situation is not dealt with effectively, it can jeopardize the quality of the
relationship with staff and compliance with the treatment programme.
What the paper adds to existing knowledge:
• The narrator presents his experience in undergoing voluntary psychiatric treat- ment, casting light on nurses’ good and bad practices: those that increased resist- ance, and those that helped de-escalate the uncontrolled reaction at the time of access, as well as during the recovery period.
What are the implications for mental health nursing:
• Practitioners should be able to put in place listening techniques and ways of per- sonalizing the relationship with the patient.
• When such measures become part of the patient's meaning system, the vicious circle of misunderstood anger that creates more anger may be interrupted and the patient can invest in relationships of trust
