A new study raises a novel idea about what might trigger celiac disease, a condition that makes patients unable to tolerate foods containing gluten. The study suggests that a common virus may be to blame. For people with celiac disease, gluten can wreak havoc on their digestive systems. Their immune systems...
Depression is a feeling of perennial sadness associated with a reduction of interest or pleasure in daily activities; sometimes it can be so intense or profound that it interferes with the patient's quality of life, causing him or her to have no prospects, not to live serenely in the...
Although ozone therapy has long been known in medicine, its application in dentistry today represents one of the most promising innovations in the field. Thanks to technological advances—particularly the use of ozonized water—this natural and non-invasive method is proving invaluable in a wide range of treatments: from tooth extractions...
Customised surgery, reduced rehabilitation times, increasingly minimally invasive and accurate surgical techniques, and increasingly high-performance and biocompatible prosthetic materials. These are some of the goals made available today by technological progress and scientific research for the treatment of orthopaedic pathologies. Illustrating the latest frontiers in the field is Dr Michel...
Oooooh, I love this stuff. It’s like becoming the new general of an army. OK, here’s what I would do to win your new team over. First, have a plan. You’re a manager for a reason. Figure out what the company needs and turn that into a strategy. Make...
Humans continue to produce new neurons in a part of their brain involved in learning, memory and emotion throughout adulthood, scientists have revealed, countering previous theories that production stopped after adolescence. The findings could help in developing treatments for neurological conditions such as dementia. Many new neurons are produced in...
A NEW FILTERING DEVICE FOR CORONAVIRUS Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus emergency, air filtration systems are becoming increasingly important to protect public health and consequently improve the quality of work environments. Engineer Michele Ramaglia, shareholder of Adiramef S.r.l. - a Campana company highly specialized in the technical assistance of electromedical,...
Visual defects (nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness) are becoming increasingly common, and refractive surgery now offers several cutting-edge techniques (excimer laser and femtosecond laser) to eliminate them definitively in a completely safe and painless manner. "Beyond the age of 40, however, when the patient's defect exceeds the corrective possibilities of...
Diabetes that begins in adulthood falls into five distinct categories, new research has revealed, with scientists suggesting it is time to ditch the idea that diabetes is largely split into two types. Researchers say all of the newly classified subgroups are genetically distinct and have numerous differences, including the age at which...
We live in an era in which dental medicine has been profoundly transformed by technology. One of the fields where innovation has made the greatest strides is implantology. Until a few years ago, rehabilitating a full dental arch meant long healing times, temporary removable dentures, and multiple surgeries. Today,...
