RESUMO
RESUMEN Las infecciones por herpes virus en la etapa neonatal pueden causar una alta morbimortalidad. La persistencia del virus, a pesar del tratamiento de primera línea, puede llevar a consecuencias devastadoras para el paciente. Presentamos el caso de un paciente neonato con persistencia de Virus Herpes Simplex en LCR, en el cual fue necesario iniciar foscarnet para contener la infección.
ABSTRACT Herpes virus infections in the neonatal stage can cause high morbidity and mortality. The persistence of the virus, despite first-line treatment, can lead to devastating consequences for the patient. We present the case of a neonatal patient with persistence of Herpes Simplex Virus in the CSF, in whic foscarnet treatment was required to contain the infection.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To determine the in vitro antimicrobial effects of 3 endodontic sealers--AH Plus, Sealapex, and Tubli-Seal--on Actinomyces radicidentis, a bacterial species commonly found in root canals. METHODS: Prior to the experimental procedures, bacterial identification tests, such as Gram staining, catalase, and API 20A, were performed, and the bacteria were identified as A. radicidentis. The agar diffusion susceptibility test was performed to determine the areas of bacterial growth inhibition and, consequently, the microbial resistance of the 3 sealers against A. radicidentis. Chlorhexidine was used as a positive control, and saline solution was used as a negative control. RESULTS: Tubli-Seal cement had an average diameter of inhibition zones in the 3 panels of 22.73 mm, that of AH Plus was 17.13 mm, and that of Sealapex, 11.99 mm. A one-way ANOVA test showed that there were significant differences between the 3 cements (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Tubli-Seal showed the highest levels of antimicrobial activity, which was followed by AH Plus with the next highest levels and, finally, Sealapex with the lowest levels of antimicrobial activity.

The European Higher Education Space (EHES) is a project to harmonize all the European University systems in order that all of them will posses a homogeneous structure of undergraduate, graduate and post graduate studies. The time period established to implement this project is year 2010. The present paper describes the establishment of a new career degree model in Spain, the degree in Dentistry that started twenty years ago. Also it has been stated the number of the present Departments and Schools, the access system to Public University Schools of Spain, the evaluation system, and which are the new mechanisms incorporated in the Spanish University system to implement this integration to the EHEE. This is the moment to design the new master guidelines to obtain homogeneous career degrees that may imply more accessibility and mobility of students and professionals.

Dentro del grupo de los tumores malignos epiteliales de las fosas nasales y antro maxilar, el carcinoma mucoepidermoide es el más raro. La participación orbitaria es frecuente y se ilustra con dos casos, uno con participación de la cavidad nasal y antro maxilar y el otro exclusivamente del antro maxilar. Las manifestaciones clínicas dependen de las alteraciones mecánicas musculares y la proptosis; las más frecuentes son: exoftalmo no reductible, disminución de la capacidad visual hasta llegar a la ceguera y deformación facial. La tomografía y resonancia nuclear magnética son muy útiles en el diagnóstico y pronóstico. El pronóstico es malo tanto para la función como para la vida. El tratamiento es eminenetemente quirúrgico, la radioterapia y quimioterapia son paliativos y con severas complicaciones deletéreas
