Maintenance of the ES Cell State01:14

Maintenance of the ES Cell State

2.7K
The cells of the blastocyst inner cell mass only remain pluripotent for a short time. This state of pluripotency and self-renewal can be maintained in embryonic stem (ES) cell culture by adding specific chemicals or growth factors to ensure the cells can continue dividing and later differentiate into different cell types. In some cases, the cells are grown on a feeder layer of differentiated cells, which provides the growth factors and extracellular matrix components necessary for stem cell...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

294
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance

5.9K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...

Rational Dosage Regimen: Maintenance Dose and Loading Dose

5.4K
A rational dosage regimen considers a drug's pharmacokinetics, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination from the body. By understanding these factors, the appropriate dosage can be determined, and the dosing schedule can be designed to achieve and maintain the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects.
In most cases, drugs are administered repetitively or infused continuously to maintain a steady-state concentration in the body. At a steady...

Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Loading and Maintenance Doses

230
A loading dose is an essential pharmacological strategy to rapidly achieve the target plasma drug concentration necessary for an immediate therapeutic effect. This approach is especially critical for drugs characterized by slow absorption or extended half-lives, where delaying therapeutic plasma levels could compromise treatment outcomes. By administering a loading dose, clinicians ensure a prompt onset of drug action, even for agents with complex pharmacokinetic profiles.Achieving steady-state...

Energy Budgets00:51

Energy Budgets

10.7K
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Summary

Dental implant use is rising, necessitating tailored maintenance protocols. The new periodontal classification now includes peri-implant diseases, emphasizing patient-focused care for implant survival.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Dental implant placements are increasing across diverse patient demographics.
  • Historically, implants were mainly for edentulous patients, but this is shifting.
  • A patient-focused approach to peri-implant maintenance is now crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for updated peri-implant maintenance protocols.
  • To emphasize the impact of maintenance on biological complications and implant survival.
  • To acknowledge the inclusion of peri-implant diseases in the 2018 periodontal classification.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current trends in dental implantology.
  • Analysis of the implications of the 2018 periodontal classification.
