From web site The mouth guards may mean less work for the postural muscles and more stability for athletes such as ice hockey players. By Chris Berdik Like most Canadians, Serge Bourgeois, the men’s hockey coach at New Brunswick’s Université de Moncton, takes the sport seriously. Naturally he was skeptical when a local dentist, Patrick Girouard, DG11, suggested that mouth guards might help his team skate better, shoot straighter and suffer fewer muscle aches and strains. Mouth guards aren’t mandated for college hockey players in Canada. But there is some evidence that they may protect athletes from concussions by absorbing the shock of blows to the head and stabilizing the head and neck muscles, and Bourgeois encouraged his players to wear them. So when Girouard asked if the team would help him investigate the relationship between bite, balance and performance, Bourgeois put his skepticism aside. “I was all for it,” he says. Girouard is conducting the research fo...

L’IMPIEGO DELLA STRUMENTAZIONE NELLA FORMULAZIONE DELLA DIAGNOSI Luca Martinelli 21 ottobre 2016   1.     PREMESSA Tutti gli strumenti, dallo stetofonendoscopio ai software di intelligenza artificiale che in pochi secondi ipotizzano una diagnosi sulla base dell’analisi di milioni di testi di letteratura specifica disponibile in rete, ricoprono un ruolo importantissimo nel processo decisionale di formulazione della diagnosi.   Gli strumenti sono inoltre importanti per il controllo della terapia e la vigilanza.   Nessuna strumentazione può comunque, da sola, sostituire la conoscenza, competenza ed esperienza del clinico.   Gli strumenti portano con sé il rischio di una possibilità di errore di interpretazione dei dati ma del resto gli errori possono essere fatti anche in fase ad esempio di riconoscimento/individuazione dei sintomi, di valutazione dei dati anamnestici ecc.   Facciamo un esempio semplice. Prendiamo un metro, misu...

The Rapid Alert System for non-food dangerous products facilitates the rapid exchange of information between   national authorities   of 31 countries and the European Commission on dangerous products found on the market. The Commission publishes a weekly overview of the alerts on products reported by the national authorities. They include information on the dangerous products found, the risks identified and the measures taken in the notifying country in order to prevent or restrict their marketing or use. Measures can be ordered by national authorities ("compulsory measures") or be taken directly by producers and distributors ("voluntary measures"). Each alert also includes information on the countries where the same product was found and further measures were taken.

From website This study's data, indicating smart repair of tooth decay, prolonging the life of composite fillings and reducing the need for mercury based amalgams indicates a significant step forward in tooth restorative materials. New Smart Fillings Could Help Repair Tooth Decay Over 80 percent of the population in the UK has at least one filling, with seven being the average while eight million cavities are filled with amalgam each year. This data, indicating smart repair of tooth decay, prolonging the life of composite fillings and reducing the need for mercury-based amalgams indicates a significant step forward in tooth restorative materials. Professor Hill outlines how new bioactive glass composites are unique in their ability to release fluoride as well as the significant quantities of calcium and phosphate that are needed to form tooth mineral. Professor Hill explains that while current dental fillings include inert materials, the data on the new bio...

Sul numero 43 della rivista di salute Starbene è apparso un articolo interamente dedicato al dispositivo medico per stretching mandibolare. Saranno pubblicati a breve, da una rivista scientifica internazionale, i risultati degli ultimi studi effettuati sugli effetti dello stretching mandibolare. Il Prof. Marcello Brunelli, neuroscenziato di fama internazionale, e il Dott. Daniele Tonlorenzi, Medico, Odontoiatra e Gnatologo, che insieme ad altri ricercatori hanno condotto gli studi hanno anticipato che ci saranno delle novità inaspettate. L'Ente di Ricerca & Sviluppo dell'azienda italiana  QUASAR DENTAL EQUIPMENT , già conosciuta per  le basi universali in silicone autoclavabil     e per   gli strumenti odontoiatrici conformi alla direttiva  2010/32/UE  "Tagli e punture" , collabora da tempo con i ricercatori realizzando, oltre al dispositivo già in vendita, proto...

From FDA US Web site FDA posts consumer information about the most serious medical device recalls. These products are on the list because there is a reasonable chance that they could cause serious health problems or death. Use the yearly lists to find information about Class I medical device recalls and some Class II and III recalls of interest to consumers. The links give details about what to do if you own or use one of these products. If you wish to find a Class II or Class III recall, you can search the  CDRH Recalls Database .   Please note that FDA now lists medical device recall notices by the date that it posts the recall rather than the recall initiation date. You can find the date that a firm initiated a recall in the text of the recall notice. Learn more about  medical device recalls here .
