Oral health related to quality of life in patients with stomatological diseases.

Aim: To describe the oral health-related quality of life (OHR-QoL) in patients with stomatological diseases.

Methods: All new patients seen in the Stomatology Clinic, from August 2008 to July 2009 were selected. OHR-QoL was measured using OHIP-14, in face-to-face interviews.

In Vitro Infection of Trypanosoma cruzi Causes Decrease in Glucose Transporter Protein-1 (GLUT1) Expression in Explants of Human Placental Villi Cultured under Normal and High Glucose Concentrations.

Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic Chagas' disease agent, induces changes in protein pattern of the human placenta syncytiotrophoblast. The glucose transporter protein-1 (GLUT1) is the primary isoform involved in transplacental glucose transport. We carried out in vitro assays to determine if T.
