Validation of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™, Neuromuscular Module, version 3.0 in Spanish for Argentina.

Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™ 3.0), Neuromuscular Module, version in Spanish for Argentina, for children aged 2-18 years with neuromuscular disease.

Population And Methods: Observational, analytical, prospective validation study conducted in Hospital Garrahan between March 19th, 2019 and March 9th, 2020.

Oral health-related quality of life during supportive periodontal therapy: results from a randomized clinical trial.

Aim: Assessment of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) during a randomized controlled trial of supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) consisting of oral prophylaxis with oral hygiene instructions only (test) or in conjunction with subgingival instrumentation (control).

Methods: OHIP-14 was assessed at baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Data from 62 participants (50.

Supportive periodontal therapy in moderate-to-severe periodontitis patients: A two-year randomized clinical trial.

Aim: Evaluate supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) consisting of oral prophylaxis with oral hygiene instructions as sole intervention (test) or combined with subgingival instrumentation removing/disrupting the subgingival biofilm (control).

Material And Methods: Sixty-two treated periodontitis patients (50.97 ± 9.

Association between metabolic syndrome and periodontitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and periodontitis (PD), through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Original observational studies assessing the association between MS and PD in adults, published before May 11th (2017), were identified through electronic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guideline was used.

Tooth Loss in Patients under Periodontal Maintenance in a Private Practice: A Retrospective Study.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence and causes of tooth loss in periodontal subjects from a private practice in Brazil. Two trained examiners extracted data from the records of subjects who sought periodontal treatment from 1980 to 2013. Only records of patients who completed the non-surgical periodontal treatment and had at least one visit for maintenance were included.

Agreement between clinical and histopathologic diagnoses and completeness of oral biopsy forms.

The present study aimed to assess the rate of agreement between clinical and histopathological diagnoses and to report the frequency of completed forms for specimens that were subjected to histopathological examination and retrospectively examined. Data from 8,168 specimens submitted to histopathological examination were retrieved from the records. A total of 5,368 cases were included.

Exploring the mechanisms of alcohol-related damage in oral mucosa - is oxidative stress associated with the increase in cell proliferation in rat tongue epithelium?

Context: Alcohol consumption has been related to a cell proliferation increase in oral epithelium but its mechanism remains unclear.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether oxidative stress parameters are implicated in the induction of cell proliferation in rat tongue epithelium after different times of chronic alcohol consumption.

Materials And Methods: Cell proliferation was assessed in tongue epithelium using AgNOR (argyrophilic proteins related to active nucleolar organizer regions) quantification.

A 10-year study of specimens submitted to oral pathology laboratory analysis: lesion occurrence and demographic features.

The purpose of the present paper was to describe the range of lesions histologically diagnosed in an oral pathology laboratory in southern Brazil. A retrospective study of 8,168 specimen analyses recorded between 1995 and 2004 was conducted. The records were retrieved from the Oral Pathology Laboratory, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, RS, Brazil.

Organochlorine residues in the blubber and liver of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) stranded in the Canary Islands, North Atlantic Ocean.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated pesticides: dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs), chlordanes (CHLs), dieldrin, and hexaclorobenzene (HCB) were detected in the blubber and liver of 11 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Canary Islands (North Atlantic Ocean). Samples were obtained from stranded dolphins over the period 1997-2005. Among the organochlorines analyzed, PCBs and DDTs were predominant in the two tissues, followed in decreasing order by chlordane, trans-nonachlor > cis-nonachlor > dieldrin and HCB.
