Evaluación de la primera alimentación en larvas de capaz pimelodus grosskopfii bajo condiciones de laboratorio

Evaluate the performance and survival of capaz larvae Pimelodus grosskopfii after supplying live food (Cladocera, Copepod and Artemia Salina). Materials and methods. Capaz larva were placed in plastic containers with an useful volume of 3 L , and a larvae density of 10 L-1, they were fed four times a day during 15 days with newly hatched Artemia nauplii, Cladocerans of the genders Moina and Ceriodaphnia and Copepods calanoides. Capaz larva were weighed and measured at the beginning and the end of the experiment in order to evaluate their weight gain (WG), length gain (LG), specific growth rate (SGR), relative growth factor (RGF), and survival rate(S). Results. The treatment that showed the best results in WG, LG and S was the lot fed with Artemia nauplii (3.8±0.2 mg, 8±0.7 mm and 48.3% respectively), followed by sample supplied with Cladocera and Copepods. Conclusions. The Artemia nauplii treatment revealed the best results on the productive variables evaluated in P. grosskopfii larvae at the beginning of their exogenous feeding.

Revisión de literatura sobre prescripción y confección de adaptaciones de bajo costo para el desempeño de actividades de la vida diaria:el papel del terapista ocupacional

This article had as main objective to discuss, based on literature review, some aspects of low cost devices, to improve the development of clinical practice related to the Occupational Therapy on Physical Rehabilitation. The concept of Activity of Daily Living, Assistive Technology and Adaptations are discussed. At regard of some kinds of adaptations, their cost and benefits, the making of low cost adaptation ad other aspects that an occupational therapist could considerer discussing by the Brazilian experience. The authors recognized that more researches are necessary to develop the knowledge in this field of knowledge, identified by the gaps in the scientific literature concerning this issue.

Efecto del ácido oxálico bajo restauraciones cervicales en dientes con hipersensibilidad: ensayo clínico randomizado controlado doble ciego

To evaluate the effect of oxalic acid in cervical hypersensitivity, used under two different resin restorations one based on methacrylate and another based on silorane. Methods: 19 patients with “LCNC with hypersensitivity” were distributed into 4 groups according to treatment: G1 (n = 31): 0.5% oxalic acid (Desenssiv, SSWhite) + Z250 (3MESPE), G2 (n = 31): 0.5% oxalic acid + Filtek Silorane - P90 (3MESPE), G3 (n = 30): Distilled water + Z250; G4 (n = 30): Distilled water + Filtek Silorane - P90. Two clinical calibrated (kappa> 0.75) evaluated the sensitivity of the teeth: Before treatment, at 30, 60 and 90 days post-treatment (VAS). Results: The 4 groups at 30, 60 and 90 days reduced HS compared with the baseline (p <0.05). G1 and G2 showed less HS than G3 and G4 (p <0.05). Conclusion: The 4 restorative procedures significantly reduce the hypersensitivity, 30, 60 and 90 days compared to the baseline.
