Objective: To compare the perception of the occlusal plan canting in a frontal smile picture, among patients treated with metallic braces, aesthetic braces, and transparent aligners. Methods: A survey was performed with five randomly distributed photographs of a female smiling and presenting a canting of the occlusal plane of 0-degree, 2-degrees, 4-degrees to the left and the right. Photographs were scored by all the participants (50 adult patients: 36 females and 14 males mean age 33,9 ± 13,2 years old), distributed into three groups: patients treated with metaliics braces (30 patients), patients treated with transparent aligners (10 patients), patients treated with aesthetic braces (30 patients). Data were analysed with ANOVA. Results: Patients tend to score lower deviations of 4-degrees. There is no difference in score between 0 a 2-degrees cant (p > 0,05). The photograph with the worst score is 4-degrees right cant (p < 0,01), followed by the 4-degree left (p < 0,05). No statistical evidence to suggest that patients with aesthetic braces or transparent aligners have a worse perception of smile (p > 0,05). Gender was not influencing in the perception of occlusal plan canting (p > 0,05). Conclusion: Occlusal canting of less than 4-degrees angle are not perceived unaesthetically by patients regardless of their treatment. Gender did not seem to have a role in this perception.

The objective of this work was to search into a suitable methodology to examine the use and function of the vose forms preceding subjunctive constructions spoken in the city of Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina. We believe most of the studies done in the use of vose forms have been biased by the researchers' selection of a suitable environment that would yield successful results attesting to the uses of vose forms by a variety of Spanish speakers. Pragma-linguistics aspects involved in the data collection process as well as the explanations about the origin of one linguistic form or the other have been generally omitted or scarcely hinted at. For the purpose of this paper, we have reviewed previous studies on the use of vose forms carried out in the rioplatense area to observe the methodology followed in the compilation of the corpus. We focused on those research works which provide details on methodology or provide recommendations on this issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The garlic (Allium sativum L), it is a species belonging to the family of the Allied. Argentina is one of the principal producing countries and the second world exporter of garlic, after China, the major quantity is exported from January to June. To evaluate the culture in not traditional zones as La Pampa, it is a valuable contribution, where environmental factors conjugate not alone but also characteristics of soil, quality of water, managing of culture, workforce, and response to fertilization, plagues, diseases, crop, yields and marketing. The aim of the work was to evaluate the productive behavior of two clowns of garlic, "Chinese" and "Colorado" and his response to the fertilization with sulphate of ammonium in one and two applications. The plantation was realized in the garden of the Facultad de Agronomía, UNLPam, April 15, 2005, in a design of complete blocks at random by 4 repetitions, the experimental unit consisted of a plot of two lines of 5 m. Of length, to 0.60 m between lines, with two lines of bordure. There were fertilized by sulphate of ammonium 30/7 in the treatments 1 (the only application) and 2, and 30/9 in the treatment 2 (double application) because of 50 kg ha-1 every time. The values were compared by means of ANOVA, and Tukey's test with α = 0.05. Bearing in mind the weight of dry clean garlic, the results indicate that both clowns answered favorably to the double fertilization, obtaining significant differences between treatments, obtaining major production with double fertilization, with regard to the unique fertilization, and in turn the plots with an alone fertilization produced more in weight that the plots witness without fertilizing. Also significant differences between clowns were obtained. The results reveal the major yield of the "Chinese" clown in the different treatments respect of the clown "Colorado".

Résumé Objectif Il est classique de considérer que la bi-arthrite de cheville est un critère diagnostique du syndrome de Löfgren. L'objectif de cette étude est de caractériser, à l'aide de l'échographie, l'atteinte articulaire et périarticulaire des chevilles au cours du syndrome de Löfgren. Méthodes Étude multicentrique descriptive sur une cohorte de patients atteints d'un syndrome de Löfgren ayant bénéficié d'une échographie de cheville. Les données cliniques, d'imagerie, de biologie, à la fois sanguine et du liquide synovial lorsqu'une ponction était réalisée, étaient recueillies. Résultats Les résultats d'échographie des chevilles de 40 patients ont été analysés. En mode B, un œdème sous-cutané était l'anomalie échographique la plus fréquente (26 patients), suivi par la ténosynovite (22/40), sans prédominance de compartiment. L'atteinte articulaire était retrouvée sous forme d'une synovite chez 7 patients et d'un épanchement chez 10 patients. Trois patients sur 40 avaient une synovite hyperhémique en mode Doppler. Nous n'avons retrouvé aucune association statistique significative entre la présence d'une synovite ou ténosynovite et les caractéristiques cliniques (âge, sexe) et paracliniques (biologie, imagerie thoracique) des cas de syndrome de Löfgren. Conclusion Contrairement à ce qui est classiquement admis, ces résultats suggèrent que l'atteinte abarticulaire des chevilles est plus fréquente que l'atteinte articulaire au cours du syndrome de Löfgren. Ceci doit faire discuter les critères diagnostiques du syndrome de Löfgren qui font référence à une « bi-arthrite » de chevilles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In La Pampa province the information is insufficient on report of pest and of benefit species in lettuce. For what there arose the need to know and investigate on the harmful organisms and his natural enemies, and which are the conditions that favour the increase of his populations. The aims of this study it was to determine the phytophagous species for two varieties of lettuce in two systems of production and to identify the benefit species that could act as biological controllers of those. The study was realized in the garden of the Faculty of Agronomy, UNLPam, the samplings were carried out weekly, from July until October, 2004: to field with complementary irrigation and low covered in a macrotunnel provided with irrigation by drip in two varieties of lettuce (Grand Rapid and Gallega de invierno). In each of these varieties and in every system of production 6 plants were checked at random, registering: species number of individuals and condition of development of the same ones. The obtained information was compared by means of ANOVA and Tukey's test with α = 0,05. There was detected the presence of two species of aphids: Myzus persicae Sulzer (Homoptera: Aphididae) and Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosley) (this one is it firstly mentions of N. ribisnigri for the province of La Pampa). The system of production under covered concentrated a major number of aphids. Two natural enemies of aphids registered: an entomopatoghenic fungi and a parasitoid: Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). It found likewise larvae of Naupactus leucoloma Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in low densities feeding of the leaves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
