Tomografia computadorizada Cone Beam em Ortodontia - evolução ou revolução? visão geral, aplicações, vantagens/desvantagens e dose de radiação

Introduction: The request of three-dimensional images (3D) of the dentomaxillofacial complex has increased. Hence, new possibilities for assessment, treatment as well as follow-up after treatment have increased their importance with the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The images in two dimensions (2D) have inherent problems that can be solved with treedimensional images assessment. Objectives: To clarify the main doubts about the operational mechanism of complementary diagnostic method; to explain the advantages and disadvantages, to discuss the effective radiation dose and possible applications in orthodontia. Conclusion: The information generated by 2D images from the CBCT does not show differences that may endanger the orthodontic planning when compared with the images of 2D conventional radiographs. The effective radiation dose received by the patient should not be considered as a limiting factor of the tomography exam request.

Estudo comparativo do desempenho de diferentes membranas oclusivas de Látex Natural no reparo ósseo

Introduction: In dentistry, alveolar bone resorption is a limiting factor in the well being of individuals directly interfering in the stomatognathic system, causing problems in the context of overall health. Aiming to promote biological methods that can stimulate bone regeneration, several biomimetic strategies have been developed by the use of diverse materials possible to the bone matrix, culminating in the development of techniques that promote such repair. Objective: This work is a comparative study of the performance of films made with latex as occlusive membrane for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedure in three preparations: Latex preserved in ammonia, produced by Latex rubber clones IAN873 and PR255 polymerized immediately after collection and without use ammonia as a preservative. Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 15 animals in which bone defects of critical size (8mm diameter) were made surgically in the skull. Group A was treated by GBR through the membrane latex preserved with ammonia, Group B received the membrane made of latex from IAN873, Group C, the membrane clone PR255 and group D was not treated by GBR. After a period of 7, 15 and 50 days, 5 animals from each group were euthanized, and specimens containing bone defect collected for microscopic examination (descriptive histology and histomorphometry). Results: The results showed that after 50 days there was bone formation in higher proportions in group D (p <0.05, ANOVA followed by Tukey), suggesting that further experiments should be conducted to conclude about the presence of ammonia and the influence of kind of rubber. Conclusion: GOR is a procedure proven effective in the treatment of bone defects. Therefore, further experiments should be conducted to reach a conclusion regarding the presence of ammonia in the latex composition for the manufacture of membranes, as well as the difference induced by the species of rubber.

A ingestão de carboidrato e sua influência na modalidade futebol. -

Soccer is characterized as a sport that has exercises such as jumping, high-intensity and easy running, directional changes among, and other things. These features characterize soccer as an intermittent exercise. Nutrition along with proper exercise programs can be an excellent tool for the success or failure of the team in a championship. The nutrition, when properly oriented, can decrease fatigue of athletes and also optimize their recovery level, which may result in maintenance of performance along with less risk of injury. This study researched in database Pubmed, Scielo and Bireme, using the following words: futebol, nutrição, carboidrato, carbohydrate, soccer, and nutrition. Carbohydrate is a macronutrient used as energy source for performing exercise and its prevalence is varied according to both volume and intensity of exercise. In soccer, there is recommendation for carbohydrate intake before exercise in order to increase the availability of blood glucose, which in turn results in exercise improved capacity. In addition, carbohydrate intake during exercise increases the rapid replacement of all muscle glycogen reserves lost. Finally, the post-exercise consumption is important in the recovery of several nutritional factors such as muscle glycogen restoration, replacement of fluids and also electrolytes. In this sense, a well-oriented carbohydrate intake will result in improved athlete performance, and than may also promotes the success of their team at the end of the championship

Principais mecanismos envolvidos na maturação oocitária em bovinos: da oogenese a maturação in vitro

Despite the efforts made to improve the production of bovine embryos in vitro, their efficiency is still low, since only 30-40% of developed blastocysts are obtained from oocytes after in vitro maturation (IVM), fertilization and cultured embryos. Assisted reproductive technologies have a limiting impact due a lack of oocytes capable to fertilization.The comprehension of mechanism involved in oocyte maturation are crucial to establish a culture system that allows a larger number production of good quality embryos. The study of the early stages of oocyte and follicle development in vivo is important for a better understanding of the molecular pathways that regulate oogenesis, folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation. Thus the physiological biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in maturation may contribute to the increased efficiency of in vitro embryo production. Therefore, the aim of this literature review is to understand the basic mechanisms that underlie oocyte maturation in cattle, since oocyte and follicle cells in vivo formation to its use in the in vitro environment.

Relação K:Ca:Mg na solução nutritiva para produção de minitomate cultivado em substrato

The study was conducted to evaluate six K:Ca:Mg ratios for production of two cultivars of mini tomato grown in substrate, in a greenhouse, during two growing seasons. The experimental design was randomized blocks with four replications and twelve treatments using both cultivars of mini tomato (Sweet Million and Sweet Grape) and six K:Ca:Mg ratios (4:3:1, 6:3:1, 6:4.5:1, 2.7:3:1, 2.7:2:1, 4:2:1) in nutrient solutions. In both experiments, nutrient solutions with the highest concentrations of Mg, (75 mg L-1) and the lowest concentrations of Ca, (150 mg L-1) led to the highest concentrations of those nutrients in plant dry matter. The Sweet Million cultivar had higher yield (1.69 kg plant-1 and 1.52 kg plant-1), number of fruits per plant (227 and 236), and water use efficiency (29.1 kg m-3 and 25.3 kg m-3). However, the Sweet Grape cultivar had fruits of higher mean weight (9.0 g and 8.8 g) and macronutrient content in the leaves. In both crop cycles, the different K:Ca:Mg ratios affected only the macronutrient contents of the mini tomato plants grown in substrate, with no effect on yield and water use efficiency. The first crop cycle showed the highest N, K, Ca and S content.

Efeito da adubação nitrogenada na produtividade do girassol

Nitrogen, along with K, is the most limiting nutrient for sunflower productivity. The objective of this research work was to determine the best level of nitrogen in a fertilization formula for the cultivation of sunflower of the ‘HELIO – 251’ cultivar. The fertilization procedure was that recommended for the state of São Paulo for sunflower crop, except that, in each one of the treatments, N doses were of 50, 70, 90, 110, and 130 kg ha-1 . These treatments were distributed in the field according to a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. The N dose which resulted in the highest grain yield, highest oil content, and plant dry matter was of 100 kg ha-1 . Leaf N content and 1,000 grains weight increased with N doses.
