Estudo biométrico das furcas radiculares vestibular, mesial e distal dos primeiros e segundos molares superiores permanentes de humanos

Foram analisados 100 dentes primeiros molares e 100 dentes segundos molares superiores, direitos e esquerdos, permanentes, extraídos de humanos, com o objetivo de explorar a região anatômica da furca, mais especificamente realizar medidas das distâncias das aberturas das furcas vestibular, mesial, e distal até à junção esmalte-cemento, e das distâncias das referidas aberturas até às faces radiculares pertinentes: vestibular, mesial, distal e lingual. Utilizou-se para mensuração um microcomputador 486 DX-66Mhz, no qual estava instalado um software analisador de imagens Mocha-Jandel Scientific SigmaScan Pro, version 2.0. Em relação às distâncias das aberturas das furcas até à junção esmalte-cemento foi observado que as distâncias médias para a furca vestibular foram de 3,50mm e 3,03mm; para a furca mesial de 4,44mm e 4,69mm; para a furca distal de 4,26mm e 3,73mm, respectivamente para os primeiros e segundos molares superiores. Em relação às distâncias das aberturas das furcas até às faces radiculares pertinentes foi observado que as distâncias médias da furca vestibular até à face mesial da raiz mesio-vestibular foram de 3,78mm e 3,72mm; da furca vestibular até a face distal da raiz disto-vestibular 3,62 e 3,64mm; da furca mesial até à face vestibular da raiz mesio-vestibular 7,33mm e 6,89mm; da furca mesial até a face lingual da raiz lingual de 4,13mm e 4,33mm; da furca distal até à face vestibular da raiz disto-vestibular de 5,61mm e 5,09mm; da furca distal até a face lingual da raiz lingual de 4,73mm e 4,65mm, respectivamente para os primeiros e segundos molares superiores.

Bloqueios anestésicos perineurais da região distal do membro torácico do equino para diagnóstico em claudicações

This work demonstrates the technique of perineural anesthetic blocks made in the distal forelimb of the horse, and also covers aspects relating to the interpretation of the results obtained with the procedure. The limit of the subject the distal forelimb of horses is explained by the distribution of common lameness, being more frequent in this region. The procedure is intended to provide analgesia to a region of the limb, causing the animal to stop limping or decrease the intensity of claudication temporarily, since this region is responsible for the claudication, allowing thus, the likely location of the lesion, which may be investigated by other helper methods to confirm the diagnosis. Besides the description of the technique, were approached concerning aspects to the location of the anatomical structures involved, materials needed, cares with the animals, and possible complications from the procedure

Nephron-sparing surgery for treatment of reninoma: a rare renin secreting tumor causing secondary hypertension

A 25-year-old hypertensive female patient was referred to our institution. Initial workup exams demonstrated a 2.8 cm cortical lower pole tumor in the right kidney. She underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy without complications. Histopathologic examination revealed a rare juxtaglomerular cell tumor known as reninoma. After surgery, she recovered uneventfully and all medications were withdrawn. Case hypothesis: Secondary arterial hypertension is a matter of great interest to urologists and nephrologists. Renovascular hypertension, primary hyperadosteronism and pheocromocytoma are potential diagnosis that must not be forgotten and should be excluded. Although rare, chronic pyelonephritis and renal tumors as rennin-producing tumors, nephroblastoma, hypernephroma, and renal cell carcinoma might also induce hypertension and should be in the diagnostic list of clinicians. Promising future implications: Approximately 5% of patients with high blood pressure have specific causes and medical investigation may usually identify such patients. Furthermore, these patients can be successfully treated and cured, most times by minimally invasive techniques. This interesting case might expand knowledge of physicians and aid better diagnostic care in future medical practice.

Distal extension removable partial denture with resilient attachment connect to an anterior fixed implant-supported prosthesis: a clinical report

Background: Considering the limited qualitative and quantitative bone in the posterior arch, this modality of prosthetic treatment could provide a positive emotional factor reestablished by immovability of the anterior fixed implant-supported segment. Objective: This clinical report demonstrates the possibility of achieving positive results with a removable partial denture connected to an implant-supported fixed prosthesis associated to an extra resilient attachment. Clinical significance: In cases of posterior mandibular and maxilla atrophy added to the patients desire against the bone graft, this kind of prosthetic treatment has an important place as an alternative.

Severe distal cytomegalovirus esophagitis with aerodigestive symptoms in an immunocompetent infant

We report a case of an immunocompetent infant, with no evidence of neurological disorders, which developed clinical manifestation of recurrent crisis of choking, dysphagia, laryngeal stridor and sub costal retractions since the first day of life. Direct laryngoscopy was unremarkable. Upper gastrointestinal series showed a dilated tortuous esophagus with severe peristalsis impairment and reflux episodes till the proximal third of the esophagus. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a moderately dilated esophagus with erosive lesions in the distal esophagus. Esophageal biopsy specimens revealed CMV inclusion bodies associated to moderate inflammation and immunohistochemistry was positive for CMV early antigen. Prolonged 24 h esophageal pH metry was within normal limits. Antiviral therapy with intravenous ganciclovir was introduced and was associated with rapid improvement of the symptoms. Child gradually increased oral intake and weight gain, and there were no side effects related to therapy. Thus, the respiratory symptoms could have been a supra esophageal manifestation of a non-acid reflux disease related to the CMV esophagitis.
