Purpose: We aimed to elucidate the influence on analgesic effect of genetic polymorphisms in enzymes responsible for biotransformation of tramadol and ibuprofen or other possible genes involved in their mechanism of action.
Methods: The study population comprised 118 patients from a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III clinical trial that assessed the analgesic efficacy and tolerability of a single dose of ibuprofen (arginine)/tramadol 400/37.5 mg compared with ibuprofen arginine 400 mg alone, tramadol 50 mg alone, and placebo in patients with moderate to severe pain after dental surgery.

Objective: The basic sources of information on drug use are epidemiological surveys, although they have some limitations: their results may be conditioned by the lack of veracity of the responses and the sampling method makes it difficult to detect lowprevalence behaviours in target populations. This study aimed to establish the epidemiological pattern of drug use in the population undergoing drug testing in hair, in the framework of judicial investigations, in order to provide an additional approach to the knowledge of high-risk drug use.
Methods: A cross-sectional study on drug use was conducted on the population subjected to drug testing in hair (N=5,292) in the forensic context.
Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a pathological condition without effective established treatment and preventive strategies. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) in an experimental murine model of osteonecrosis.
Material And Methods: 38 Wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with zoledronic acid.
Summary: Multiview datasets are the norm in bioinformatics, often under the label multi-omics. Multiview data are gathered from several experiments, measurements or feature sets available for the same subjects. Recent studies in pattern recognition have shown the advantage of using multiview methods of clustering and dimensionality reduction; however, none of these methods are readily available to the extent of our knowledge.

We aimed to establish the effective dose of CTC for treating acute pain following oral surgery.
Methods: A dose-finding, double-blind, randomised, placebo- and active-controlled, multicentre (nine Spanish hospitals), phase II study (EudraCT number: 2011-002778-21) was performed in male and female patients aged ≥ 18 years experiencing moderate to severe pain following extraction of two or more impacted third molars requiring bone removal.
