Bruxism is a non‑functional involuntary muscle activity that affects more than one‑third of the population at some point in their lives. A number factors have been found to be related etiopathogenesis bruxism; therefore, condition considered multifactorial. The most commonly accepted factor stress. Stress has long increase tone and reduce pain threshold. Current evidence indicates exposure chronic stress, distress allostatic load ignite neurological degeneration attenuation critical neuronal...
Abstract – A very popular sport worldwide, soccer generates a great number of maxillofacial injuries, mainly fractures, resulting in esthetic or functional problems. The aim this retrospective study was to contribute the knowledge soccer‐related and call attention risk factors that favor these injuries. total 108 patients, who attended hospital because injuries during within period 8 years, were included study. relationship patients with soccer, type, site, severity, mechanism applied...
Twenty-two patients with major depressive disorder, 11 of them melancholic features, and controls were investigated CANTAB subtests focusing in visual memory/learning executive functions. Melancholic performed worse than the other groups all tasks manifested a significant impairment set shifting. The results are discussed association prefrontal dysfunction.
Background The pretreatment neuropsychological profile of drug-resistant patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) referred for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may differ from that their drug-respondent MDD counterparts. Such differences could help in identifying distinct subtypes, thus offering insights into the neuropathology underlying differential treatment responses. Method Depressed ECT referral (ECTs), depressed no (NECTs) and non-psychiatric Controls (matched groups, n =15) were...
The association of the high blood pressure D variant angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene with medication-related jaw osteonecrosis (MRONJ) is described in two Greek patients. first patient, a 73-year-old man, took zolendronate, 4 mg/100 ml IV once per month for years prostate cancer and bone metastases. Three months after drug discontinuation, extraction premolar was performed. After intervention, he suffered from mandible. He presented hypertension genetic testing revealed that...
Previous studies have associated certain variations in genes encoding factors of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), indirectly leading to higher angiotensin II (AngII) levels, with greater risk for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) development. Chymase (CMA1) is the main regulator RAS-independent AngII generation pathway and numerous shown its oncogenic potential several cancer types including BCC. In this study, we investigated possible association between BCC pathogenesis functional DNA polymorphism...
<h3>Abstract</h3> Background/Aim: The G8790A (rs2285666) functional polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene influences alternative mRNA splicing and quantitatively affects enzyme's production. Specifically, presence A allele has been associated with higher ACE2 plasma levels. In this study, we investigated possible association ACE2-G8790A pathogenesis basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Patients Methods: total 190 DNA samples were studied, including 91 BCC patients 99...
To study if the angiotensin receptor blocker olmesartan reduces levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1), a risk factor for oral cancer, in mouse model and therefore whether it could be used treatment this malignancy.Twelve transgenic PAI1 mice aged 16-20 weeks were divided two groups each containing six animals. One group was given every day 30 days drinking water an amount corresponding to their weight, 0.005 mg/g, while second did not receive any medication (control group)....
