Staged extractions and implant placement in a periodontally compromised patient: A clinical report.

Staging the extraction of selected teeth in a periodontally compromised patient during complete mouth rehabilitation has advantages, including avoiding a transitional complete denture, keeping the patient with a fixed prosthesis throughout the treatment without the need to immediately load the implants, maintaining the interdental papillae, and providing comfort for the patient. The need for a multistep extended treatment and additional cost are the main disadvantage of this approach. This clinical report describes the clinical steps and follow-up of a staging approach and implant placement in a periodontally compromised patient with excessive gingival display to achieve a good functional and esthetic result.

Clinical management, expectations, and satisfaction of patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinoconjunctivitis treated with SQ-standardized grass-allergen tablet under routine clinical practice conditions in Spain.

Background: Sublingual immunotherapy has been proven as a well-tolerated and effective treatment for allergic rhinitis. Within this type of treatment, GRAZAX is the most documented product in terms of safety and efficacy. The objective of this study was to identify the patients' expectations and level of treatment satisfaction, as well as the clinical management of patients with moderate/severe allergic rhinoconjunctivitis treated with GRAZAX.

[Usefulness of Holter in the diagnosis of apnea-hypopnea syndrome in cardiac patients].

Background And Objective: Several studies have described the changes observed in the response of the autonomous nervous system in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). From the point of view of cardiology outpatients, we tried to relate the presence of the disease with the behavior of a Holter algorithm, the very low frequency increment (VLFI), in a direct relationship to sympathetic regulation during sleep. In addition, we studied the characteristics of our population group with regard to OSAS.
