Estabilidade sagital da condiloplastia associada à cirurgia ortognática para o tratamento do osteocondroma mandibular

The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of the conservative condylectomy technique and articular disc repositioning as the surgical treatment approach for management of mandibular condylar osteochondroma, with appropriate Orthognathic surgery. Fifteen patients (12 females and 3 males), average age of 32.3 years (range, 13 to 56 years), with unilateral active osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle were analyzed. All patients underwent conservative condylectomy, recontouring of the remaining condylar neck stump and articular disc repositioned and indicated orthognatic surgical procedures. Average post surgical follow-up was 19 months. Each patient's lateral cephalograms were traced at 3 intervals (presurgery, immediate post surgery and long-term follow-up). Immediate after surgery the oclusal plane angle decreased -2.8 ± 4.5o, the maxillomandibular complex rotated counter-clockwise with advancement at menton 5.3 ± 5.6 mm, pogonion 5.0 ± 5.1 mm, B point 3.4 ± 4.2 mm and A point 1.0 ± 1.5 mm. The long-term follow-up showed significant changes in overbite (-0.6 ± 0.5 mm) and SNGoMe (0,93° ± 1,53°). Horizontally and vertically small instabilities occurred in Me (-1.21 ± 1.94 mm) and PNS (-1.48 ± 1.67 mm) respectively. The treatment protocol studied produced counterclockwise rotation and maxillofacial mandibular advancement. The long-term follow-up showed solid dental and skeletal stability with horizontal instability of Me and PNS in the vertical direction.

Interferometric measurements of nanometric displacements in a Piezoelectric Flextensional Actuator by using the new J1...J5 method

In this work, nanometric displacement amplitudes of a Piezoelectric Flextensional Actuator (PFA) designed using the topology optimization technique and operating in its linear range are measured by using a homodyne Michelson interferometer. A new improved version of the J1...J4 method for optical phase measurements, named J1...J5 method, is presented, which is of easier implementation than the original one. This is a passive phase detection scheme, unaffected by signal fading, source instabilities and changes in visibility. Experimental results using this improvement were compared with those obtained by using the J1... J4, J1...J6(pos) and J1...J 6(neg) methods, concluding that the dynamic range is increased while maintaining the sensitivity. Analysis based on the 1/f voltage noise and random fading show the new method is more stable to phase drift than all those methods. © 2012 IEEE.

Modelo esportivo britânico: histórico e evoluções

The British sports suffered an unprecedented crisis in the early 80s instabilities political, economic crisis and lack of planning put the English sport in a very critical situation. However, a number of sports public policies were proposed from the 80's, effectively, completely changed the situation of English sport, which has prompted the development of this research. Thus, the present study, qualitative, aims to analyze the organization and evolution of the sport in the UK, based on the British government projects of the last 30 years included in the Sport Development database. Therefore, the study was developed by the union of bibliographic research, exploratory and documentary. First, after literature, documents were selected, using the academic database Sport Development, in the library of policy documents, separate area of the database containing only the English sport policy documents. For delimitation of the study were analyzed documents from 1980 to 2013, of which eight were selected on which to base discussions in this study. The documents were analyzed using thematic content analysis technique, based on two thematic axes: Axis 1 - funding and Axis 2 - priority groups. The results indicate that the analyzed initiatives show a process of evolution and maturation of public policies of Sport England, both on the issue of financing, such as with regard to priority groups, which have changed and adjustments over the years. It was also noted that much can be learned from these initiatives, even in helping to solve problems of the Brazilian reality. Suggest new studies involving sports management from different countries, in order to leverage other perspectives to support the development of public policies for sport and recreation in the country, seeking successful examples
