To test primary stability of delayed implants placed in post-extraction ridges preserved with autogenous mineralized dentin matrix (MDM) versus xenograft granules. Clinical, histological and pain experience outcomes were further assessed.From March 2018 to July 2020, patients requiring ridge preservation preparation for implant placement sites included. Participants randomly allocated either the or control group (xenograft granules) prior preservation. Visual analogue scale analgesic...
Antibiotic therapy can be used in very specific periodontal treatment situations such as refractory cases of disease found to more prevalent smokers. This study was designed determine the efficacy azithromycin (AZM) when combined with scaling and root planing (SRP) for moderate severe chronic periodontitis smokers.Thirty-one subjects were enrolled into a 6-month randomized, single-masked trial evaluate clinical, microbial (using benzoyl- DL-arginine naphthylamine [BANA] assay), gingival...
Evaluate the relationship of leptin receptor (LEPR) rs1137101, fat mass obesity-associated (FTO) receptors 9939609, melanocortin-4 (MC4R) rs2229616 and rs17782313, proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARG) rs1801282 with clinical metabolic phenotypes in prepubertal children.What is effect polymorphisms on children?A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed to evaluate anthropometric features, percentage body (%BF), biochemical parameters, genotype 773 children.FTO rs9939609...
Background/Objectives: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is recommended for long-term enteral nutrition in dysphagic patients. This study aims to characterize conditions motivating PEG, assess nutritional status on the day, evaluate survival and search predictors. Methods: Retrospective of adult patients who underwent PEG a tertiary hospital from 2001 2023. Data collected included demographics, underlying disorders, (anthropometry/laboratory evaluation) day recorded until death or...
Pediatric overweight, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance can result from unhealthy lifestyle habits increase morbidity mortality in adulthood. Herein, we evaluated the relationship between diet physical activity patterns with metabolic health of 9-year-old school children. Measurements included anthropometry, adiposity, lipid, glycemic profiles. Questionnaires activity. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) screened for patterns, multilevel models against dyslipidemia, markers across schools...
Background Autopsy studies reveal that atherosclerosis lesions can be found as early two years of age. To slow the development this pathology, obesity and dyslipidemia prevention should start from childhood making it urgent to explore new ways evaluate risk in children applied widely, such non-invasive anthropometric evaluation. Objective Assess metabolic profile a pediatric population at specific age describe association between biochemical cardiovascular disease factors; selected variables...
Summary Objective To develop and cross‐validate predictive models for percentage body fat (%BF) from anthropometric measurements [including BMI z ‐score (zBMI) calf circumference (CC)] excluding skinfold thickness. Methods A descriptive study was carried out in 3,084 pre‐pubertal children. Regression neural network were developed with %BF measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) as the dependent variables age, sex independent predictors. Results All grade presented a good global...
