Palate Obturators in the Phono-Articular System in Defects Caused by Nasal T / NK Cell Lymphoma | Stephy Publishers

Image
  Internal and Emergency Medicine | Stephy Publishers Abstract: Lymphomas are frequent malignant neoplasms, due to the destructive and rapidity of their clinical course, they present extensive areas of necrosis, which could be induced by the Epstein Bar virus (EBV) that is present in most of these lymphomas causing oro-nasal communications that they have an impact on phonation, chewing, swallowing and loss of self-esteem. Due to the extension of this type of communication, they represent a challenge in surgical rehabilitation opting for a prosthetic device.      Introduction Lymphomas are a group of neoplasms originating in the immune system, whose cells are widely distributed and have an extensive functional range. In the head and neck region there is a high incidence of nasal type T / NK cell lymphomas associated with the Epstein Var virus (EBV) showing a similar pattern of strain type distribution between neoplastic tissues and reactive processes. EBV may infect ...

Impact of Patient Centred Care in a Dementia Ward in an Acute Hospital | Stephy publishers

Image
  Innovative Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience | Stephy Publishers Abstract The older persons with dementia will occupy more hospital beds in the years to come. Caring for a patient living with dementia is challenging for the hospital staff, especially for those exhibiting neuropsychiatric symptoms. Providing person centred care has been recognised as the ideal model of care for the persons with dementia. However, this care model is time consuming and requires training and education. Provision of good care in the hospital for the older persons with dementia include avoidance of restraints, prescription of psychotropics, in-hospital fall reduction, minimising risk of cognitive and functional decline with discharge home to their families and loved ones.Person centred care is effective in the acute setting,with proper training, guidance and leadership.   Keywords Dementia, Falls, Restraints, Person-Centred Care, Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Introduction Dementia represent...

The Two Dominant Electromagnetic Frequencies of Life| Stephy Publishers

Image
  Journal of Environmental Science and Research  | Stephy Publishers Introduction: Life began, developed and matured within the biosphere of the Earth. The 5 fundamental forces of physical reality played a major role in bringing together the material resources that made up the Earth upon which the biosphere was created and that allowed life to flourish. The force of electromagnetism has played a crucial role in the background within which life evolved apart from the formation of stable matter, the ionic nature of matter compounds and the cohesion of matter brought about by the force of gravity. One is the injection of electrons into the ionosphere resonant cavity due to weather, specifically thunderstorms. The resonance produced has a frequency of about 7.8Hz and harmonics, called the Schumann Resonances (Schumann resonances-Wikipedia). The second is the transverse electromagnetic waves produced by the interaction of the Birkland electron current in the crust of the Earth wit...

Reduced Bone Neoformation in Smoking Rat’s Calvaria Grafted with Bone Ceramic | Stephy publishers

Image
  Journal of Dental Research and Oral Hygiene  | Stephy publishers Abstract The impact of cigarette smoke on bone grafts in implantodontics has been discussed in the scientific literature. The present study aimed to evaluate bone repair in calvaria of rats after the performance of critical bone defects and graft of bone ceramic biomaterial in animals exposed or not to cigarette smoke. Bone defects of 5mm in diameter were made in parietal bone. Each defect was filled with Bone Ceramic biomaterial. Twenty rats were used and divided into 2groups: test, consisting of 10rats exposed to cigarette smoke; and a control group, consisting of 10rats not exposed to cigarette smoke. The animals were euthanized in the 4th postoperative week and bone tissue samples were extracted to perform the histometric analysis. The test group showed less bone neoformation, with statistical significance (p<0.05) when compared to the control group. We conclude that cigarette smoke had a negative influe...

Urban Social Waste and Urban Solid Waste in Brazil: Problems, Consequences and Possible Solutions | Stephy Publishers

Image
  Journal of Environmental Science and Research  |  Stephy publishers Abstract Brazil is a country of continental dimensions, with a surface area of 8,510,296km2 , which   is distributed among 26 federal states and a federal district. However, due to an extremely unequal income distribution, one of the major social problems that the country still faces is urban segregation, experienced by a large part of its almost 212 million inhabitants, who still find severe problems with housing, public transportation, security, health, employment, education and infrastructure, especially with regard tothe process of collecting and the treatment of waste generated. In the case of solid urban waste (SUW), approximately 190,000tons are produced daily, which implies a per capita production rate of 0.90kg(inhab.day)-1. Of the total generated, a fraction greater than 90% (w/w) is collected and, of this fraction, a percentage of 25% is still disposed of in open dumps, generating enviro...

Significance of Cortical Micro-Infarcts in the Human Brain | Stephy Publishers

Image
  Innovative Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience - (IJNN)  | Stephy publishers Abstract: Cortical micro-infarcts are due to cerebral small vessel disease. In contrast to the arter i osclerotic type of cerebral small vessel disease, cortical micro-infarcts are mainly related and due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Alzheimer’s disease is the most frequent neurodegenerative dementia disease associated to cerebral amyloid angiopathy and cortical micro-infarcts. Vascular dementia cannot only be due to lacunar infarcts and ischemic white matter changes, but can also be caused by cortical micro-infarcts. The latter are a frequent cause of vascular dementia and decrease globally the cerebral blood flow.

Image
  Journal of Dental Research and Oral Hygiene | Stephy Publishers Abstract: Cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly evolving bacterial infection, which can b e  associated with multiple complications and poor health. However, there are few reported cases that are associated with Candida species, and the studies that report this indicate that it is found mainly in areas such as the pelvis, thorax and to a lesser degree in the arms and legs. The presence of Necrotizing Fasciitis in the cervicofacial region is very rare, which makes the present study relevant. Material and Method:  Descriptive, observational and retrospective study of Odontogenic Cervicofacial Necrotizing Fasciitis and the presence of Candida spp., Carried out during one year, in the Maxillofacial Surgery service of the Specialty Hospital, of the National Medical Center “La Raza” (IMSS). Patients older than 18 years, who were diagnosed with Necrotizing Cervicofacial Fasciitis of dental origin, were ...

Invasive Melanoma: The Treatment-Resistant Skin Cancer with the Deadly Reputation | Stephy publishers

Image
  Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Therapeutics | Stephy publishers Abstract Although melanoma accounts for less than a tenth of all skin cancers, it is responsible for three quarters of skin cancer deaths. It has a more aggressive nature, tendency to metastasise and is more resistant to anti-cancer therapies than non-melanoma skin cancer. The more common skin malignancies arise from the epidermal keratinocytes but the melanoma arises from the melanocyte, sitting on the dermo-epidermal junction. The difference is the neural crest origin of the melanocyte. Cells of neural crest origin are characterised by being heterogeneous, multipotent, mobile, having a high degree of plasticity and, in development and disease able to demonstrate epidermal to mesenchymal transition. The evolutionary deployment of the neural crest cells allowed early chordate species to transform from thin sessile filter feeders into the more mobile, active, and predatory vertebrates, demonstrating adaptatio...

Access and Waiting Time Standard for Early Intervention in Psychosis: At Risk Mental State Identification and Interventions Accepted within a Routine Service| Stephy Publishers

Image
  Journal of Psychological Science and Research  | Stephy Publishers Abstract Aim: Following the introduction of an access and waiting time standard for Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services, the identification and treatment of people experiencing an At-Risk Mental State (ARMS) for psychosis has become a national priority. However, there is a dearth of literature concerning what is offered to and accepted by ARMS service users within routine services. Methods: This descriptive evaluation reports upon the assessment and treatment of people with an at-risk mental state identified during the first year of a routine service operating in line with the EIP standard. The paper details referral sources, referral to treatment times, socio-demographic characteristics, ARMS subgroups and the interventions accepted by these service users. Results: A total of 138 ARMS cases were identified over the evaluation period, with 73% (n=101) aged between 18-34 years and 86% (n=118) m...
