Description of an ultrasound-guided transverse approach to the transversus thoracis plane block and evaluation of injectate spread in canine cadavers
(MDPI, 2021)
In humans, the aim of the transversus thoracis plane block is to desensitise the intercostal nerves running through this plane, providing analgesia to the anterior chest wall. Our objective was twofold: ...
Mental well-being of the general population: direct and indirect effects of socioeconomic, relational and health factors
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the association between individual mental well-being and social, economic, lifestyle and health factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study on a representative ...
Biological roles and delivery strategies for ions to promote osteogenic induction
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-14)
Bone is the most studied tissue in the field of tissue regeneration. Even though it has intrinsic capability to regenerate upon injury, several pathologies and injuries could hamper the highly orchestrated ...
Novel digital technique to analyze the influence of the operator experience on the accuracy of the orthodontic micro-screws placement
(MDPI, 2021)
To analyze the influence of the operator experience on the accuracy of orthodontic self-tapping micro-screws placement, a total of 60 orthodontic self-tapping micro-screws were randomly distributed into ...
Three dimensional porous scaffolds derived from collagen, elastin and fibrin proteins orchestrate adipose tissue regeneration
(Sage Journals, 2021)
Current gold standard to treat soft tissue injuries caused by trauma and pathological condition are autografts and off the shelf fillers, but they have inherent weaknesses like donor site morbidity, ...
A 3D finite element analysis model of single implant-supported prosthesis under dynamic impact loading for evaluation of stress in the crown, abutment and cortical bone using different rehabilitation materials
(MDPI, 2021)
In the literature, many researchers investigated static loading effects on an implant. However, dynamic loading under impact loading has not been investigated formally using numerical methods. This study ...
New mutations in HFE2 and TFR2 genes causing non HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis
(MDPI, 2021)
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an iron metabolism disease clinically characterized by excessive iron deposition in parenchymal organs such as liver, heart, pancreas, and joints. It is caused by ...

(Elsevier, 2021)
La queratosis actínica (QA) es una afección cutánea caracterizada por la proliferación de queratinocitos mutados que pueden convertirse en carcinoma escamoso cutáneo. Las terapias disponibles, aunque ...
Effects of a short-term resistance-training program on heart rate variability in children with cystic fibrosis: a randomized controlled trial
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and exercise in healthy children modulates the interaction between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. This study aimed ...
Changes in invasive pneumococcal disease caused by streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 following introduction of PCV10 and PCV13: findings from the PSERENADE project
(MDPI, 2021)
Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 (ST1) was an important cause of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) globally before the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) containing ST1 antigen. ...
