Estudo hodológico das aferências ao primeiro núcleo do circuito neural do reflexo auditivo de sobressalto: núcleo da raiz coclear

Las neuronas de la raíz coclear son las primeras neuronas del sistema nervioso central a recibir la información auditiva proveniente de la cóclea y se conectan con centros de integración sensoriomotora del tronco encefálico, especialmente con el núcleo reticular caudal del puente. Funcionalmente las neuronas de la raíz coclear están envueltos en el circuito elemental del reflejo auditivo de sobresalto juntamente con las células ganglionares del órgano de Corti, el núcleo reticular caudal del puente y las motoneuronas de la médula espinal. El reflejo auditivo de sobresalto presenta una serie de modulaciones como la habituación, la sensibilización, la inhibición por estímulo previo y la potenciación por un estímulo adverso. Las alteraciones en la reacción refleja de sobresalto y sus diferentes modulaciones poseen valor diagnóstico en la clínica médica de enfermedades neurodegenerativas y psiquiátricas como Parkinson y Esquizofrenia. Las modulaciones del reflejo auditivo de sobresalto ocurren mediante la influencia de diversos núcleos sobre los componentes del circuito elemental de este reflejo. El núcleo menos estudiado del circuito neural del reflejo auditivo de sobresalto es el núcleo de la raíz coclear. El patrón de conectividad eferente de las neuronas de la raíz coclear es bien conocido, sin embargo poco se conoce sobre los orígenes de sus aferencias y la identidad neuroquímica de las mismas. Estudios previos demostraron que el soma y en las dendritas de las neuronas de la raíz coclear están cubiertos por botones sinápticos de cuatro tipos, sugiriendo que existan diversos orígenes para estos terminales axonales, con características neuroquímicas propias. El conocimiento de las aferencias a las neuronas de la raíz coclear es relevante para comprender cual el papel del núcleo de la raíz coclear en las modulaciones del reflejo auditivo de sobresalto. Por lo tanto, ...

Captura gravitacional de pequenos corpos por arrasto em um gás modelado usando equações hidrodinâmicas

In this work we have developed an apparatus in order to study the capture of asteroids by planets surrounded by a gas envelope during y-by, to do this we have brought an innovation by using a hydrodynamical gas. We began such project by studying particles trajectories with a code based on the analytical gas. After being used to this model we have started a process to elaborate a code which uses the gas in a numerical way. The hydrodynamical gas is described by equations which are not solved analytically. Therefore, it was used an algorithm able to model the gas by keeping all information of the gas in cells. Thus we have made a code to read such cell`s information and then to solve all calculations. Once this process is done, the program inform us all date about the simulated trajectories

Pérola gera arte: (re)ações entre gêneros

This paper is part of a larger project. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) by Peter Webber using the theoretical perspective of dialogue from the Bakhtin Circle, Medved, Volochinov. The multidisciplinary and interartistic potential of cinema is considered in this paper when the linguistic organization and the translinguistic elements in the corpus are focused on and understood as an example of cinema genre as discussed in the Russian Circle. The study of the ways of incorporation of different genericities by cinema, illustrated by the dialogues between the pictorial genre, the novel and the movies contribute to the recognition of the cinema as a genre that is composed by the incorporation of other genres. The construction of the cinematographic work in analysis will be regarded in its architectonic (form, content and style) and in the activity field in which it circulates.

Aesthetic rehabilitation of oligodontia in primary dentition with adhesive partial denture

The primary teeth are essential for bone development and establishment of the arches on occlusion. Thus, the congenitally absence of teeth may trigger a shift in the balance of the occlusion, promoting disharmony in the structures of the maxilla-mandibular system. However, some interventions are possible to be performed in these cases even in pediatric patients, to redirect growth, preventing growth deviations and reestablishing the aesthetic. The aim of this paper is to report the treatment of a 4-year-old child presenting congenitally absence of mandibular central and lateral incisors and maxilla lateral incisors, which consequently compromises aesthetics, occlusal function, and the development and the functional growth of the bones. The oral rehabilitation was performed with an adhesive partial denture, which was able to restore the aesthetic and the occlusal function, therefore being a viable alternative in the treatment of this patient of little age.

Microbial invasion: focal infection and relationship with atherosclerosis

Os extraordinários avanços no desempenho de técnicas laboratoriais corroboram na evolução do entendimento dos mecanismos das doen- ças de modo geral, facilitando o tratamento e/ou a prevenção. De fato, informações equilibradas, acuradas e atuais estão colaborando de forma estimulante no estudo da relação entre doença periodontal e periapical crônica com o desenvolvimento ou estabelecimento de algumas doen- ças cardiovasculares. Dessa forma, o objetivo da presente trabalho foi descrever de forma sucinta e objetiva a relação entre doença periodontal crônica e doença periapical como fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento ou estabeleciomento da aterosclerose. Estudos epidemiológicos têm procurado demonstrar que indivíduos com doença periodontal ou periapical poderiam apresentar um aumento significativo do risco de desenvolver algumas doenças sistêmicas incluindo a aterosclerose.

Avaliação comparativa in vivo da eficácia do óleo de melaleuca, clorexidina e listerine sobre streptococcus mutans e microrganismos totais na saliva

Objective: To compare the efficacy of the mouthwashes 0.12% chlorhexidine, Listerine, and 0.5% and 2% Melaleuca Alternifolia oil against the salivary levels of Streptococcus mutans and total microorganisms. Methods: This study was double-blind controlled and paired clinical assay. Twenty-six volunteers aged 21 to 35 years old were enrolled. At baseline, 1 mL of unstimulated saliva was collected from each subject, 1 and 15 min after mouthrinsing with the following solutions: sterile distilled water, 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, Listerine (©Johnson & Johnson do Brasil), 0.5% and 2% concentrations of Melaleuca Alternifolia (Sigma-Aldrich). The volunteers used all the evaluated mouthrinses with a 15-day interval between the solutions. Immediately after rinsing, saliva was collected and serial dilutions were performed, followed by plating in blood agar culture medium for growth of total microorganisms and SB-20 (Sucrose-Bacitracin agar) for growth of S. mutans, and incubation at 37 °C for 48 h in microaerophilia. After incubation, the number of colonies was counted and expressed as colony forming units (UFC/mL). Results: Chlorhexidine showed antimicrobial action by reducing total microorganisms and S. mutans, while the action of 0.5% Melaleuca Alternifolia was similar to that of distilled water. Listerine and 2% Melaleuca Alternifolia oil reduced total microbial counts by 11% and 9% respectively, and S. mutans by 20% and 11%. Conclusion: A single rinse with 0.12% chlorhexidine is effective in reducing the levels of total microorganisms and S. mutans present in saliva. Under the same testing conditions, Listerine and 0.5% and 2% Melaleuca Alternifolia oil presented lower efficacy than chlorhexidine.

Diretrizes para o tratamento e acompanhamento periodontal durante o tratamento ortodôntico

The aim of this paper was to search though a revision of the literature the cares before, during and after the orthodontic treatment in patients with a periodontal disease. The literature shows that the orthodontical treatment in healthy patients brings no risk to the periodontium, although the presence of an active periodontal disease counter indicates the dental movement. Thus, it is extremely important to execute a correct diagnosis of any periodontal alteration and treat them before the beginning of the orthodontical treatment. Besides, during the whole orthodontical treatment is also important to have a periodontal control with periodic reevaluations and at the end of the orthodontical treatment, a new oral hygiene orientation may be needed to finally establish the follow-up of the patient according to the risk of periodontal disease.
