Development of clinical criteria for the evaluation of indirect restorations.

Objective: To propose the development and validation of criteria for evaluating the clinical performance of indirect restorations, considering the variables related to the operator, material, and/or patient.

Materials And Methods: The experimental design of this study was divided into three stages. Stage 1: development of the new criteria items by specialists in Prosthodontics.

[Is it necessary to have advanced statistical knowledge to access medical literacy?].

The introduction of statistical analysis in biomedical journals should be attributed to Dunn and Greenwood in the 1930s, who reflect the concepts of statistical analysis and interpretation. The aim of this study was to analyze the use of different statistical tests and the level of accessibility analysis-dependent and article-dependent of the original articles published in the journal Medicina (B Aires) in the period 2008-2017. A bibliometric, descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out, in which the original articles were evaluated according to the scale proposed by Mora Ripoll et al.

Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale: Validation of the Argentine Version.

Objective: The objective of this study was to validate the Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale (VTD) Argentine version.

Study Design: Nonrandomized, cross-sectional prospective study with control group.

Material And Methods: The VTD Scale was culturally and linguistically adapted to Argentinian Spanish according to the recommended requirements of translation, closely observing the methodology that was suggested (translation, summary, review and back-translation).

The eSS rat, a nonobese model of disordered glucose and lipid metabolism and fatty liver.

Background: eSS is a rat model of type 2 diabetes characterized by fasting hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia and early hypertriglyceridemia. Diabetic symptoms worsen during the second year of life as insulin release decreases. In 12-month-old males a diffuse hepatic steatosis was detected.

[Dynamic modifications in islets of Langerhans in two lines of spontaneously diabetic rats].

The eSMT rat is derived from the crossing of eSS and beta, both lines belonging to the IIM strain, while eSS is a model of type 2 diabetes without overweight and beta develops moderate obesity and late glucose intolerance. Metabolic characteristics and histopathological findings in endocrine pancreas of eSS and eSMT were compared. Young eSMT animals are more robust than eSS and develop more intense fasting hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance at an earlier age.

[Feeding behavior and glycemic profile in two lines of rats with genetic diabetes].

Introduction: Food intake can aggravate diabetes in humans and in animal models. In rat model systems, the eSMT rat strain shows increased diabetes expression and higher biomass than its eSS parental line. OBVJECTIVE: The feeding behavior of eSMT and eSS males was compared under conditions of ad libitum versus restrictive food intake.

Hepatic delta9, delta6, and delta5 desaturations in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus eSS rats.

Both diabetes mellitus type 1 and diabetes mellitus type 2 are widespread diseases that alter carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. e Stilmann-Salgado (eSS) rats are experimental animals that spontaneously evolve to a state similar to that of young people affected by non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM; type 2). Using 6-mon-old eSS rats that, according to the literature [Martinez, S.

[Chronic bronchial dilatations in different colonies of laboratory rats].

Bronchiectasis occurred naturally in 12-month-old spontaneously diabetic eSS male rats. The lungs of 3 and 6-month-old eSS rats were compared in eumetabolic eSS rats from three inbred lines consisting of inbred spontaneously diabetic eSS derived from IIM strain; these were compared with eumetabolic, outbred Wistar rats, paired by sex and age. Acrylic casts of bronchial tree were obtained after injection of a plastic substance.
