Based on a national survey of women and the creation of a ‘conservatism-liberalism index’, this study shows that conservatism in Chile has deep religious roots and continues to be the most significant symbolic reference point in women's lives. The study concludes also that the female population is drawn more towards a ‘liberal’ vision, but liberal attitudes are not able to provide an alternative symbolic reference point to conservatism. This is because liberalism seems to be the result of popular exposure to the requirements of modern life rather than a discourse or ideology. For this reason, the opinions and attitudes of women are highly contradictory and heterogeneous and do not find their form, for the most part, in a clearly liberal discourse or in one which is wholly conservative. We are thus dealing with a kind of ‘liberalism through exposure’, the limits of which are to be found in the conservative ideology which underlies the liberal opinions expressed and is clearly visible in the proportion of the population which is highly educated and deeply religious.

Resumen: Dentro de las lesiones fibro-óseas benignas se encuentra el fibroma osificante (FO); esta entidad se considera una verdadera neoplasia que comprende una proliferación encapsulada de tejido fibroso; que afecta generalmente a los maxilares especialmente a la mandíbula en la región de molares. Su crecimiento es lento, pudiendo generar el desplazamiento dentario, incluso la rizólisis de los mismos. Para el diagnóstico de FO se requiere de la correlación clínica-radiológica, con los hallazgos intraoperatorios; ya que la histología puede presentar similitudes con otras lesiones fibro-óseas. Se describe el caso de un paciente tratado en nuestro servicio por fibroma osificante de maxilar inferior. Palabras clave: Fibroma osificante; Lesiones fibro-óseas benignas.Recibido: 09.06.08 Aceptado: 17.12.08 Abstract: The benign fibro-osseous lesions include ossifying fibroma (OF). This condition is considered to be a true neoplasm consisting of an encapsulated proliferation of fibrous tissue that generally affects the jaws, especially the molar region of the mandible. Its growth is slow and it can cause tooth displacement, including dental rhizolysis. In order to reach the diagnosis of OF, a clinico-radiologic correlation with intraoperative findings is required because the histology may be similar to other fibro-osseous lesions.The case of a patient treated in our department for ossifying fibroma of the mandible is reported.

We found that left atrial volume index determined by echocardiographic Area-length method, but not left ventricle hypertrophy or dimensions of cavities, are related on hydration status based on bioimpedance measured time-averaged fluid overload (TAFO), and not with FO/ECW.
