Treatments for Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis

Abstract

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common condition in the Western world, and the condition is one that is not especially responsive to conventional treatments.

Según Abascal, «la nación está formada por los muertos, por los vivos (el pueblo) y por los que están por nacer», 47 lo que se ha transformado en el lema voxista de la «España viva». 48 En esto Abascal demuestra la influencia del filósofo Gustavo Bueno, que ya en 2005 remarcaba la idea de la nación española como una comunidad orgánica.…”
