Study of temperature variation in cortical bone during osteotomies with trephine drills

The purpose of this study was to compare temperature variation during osteotomies with trephine drills under different irrigation conditions: without irrigation, external irrigation, and double irrigation.Synthetic blocks of bone (type I density) were used for drilling procedures with an experimental computed machine, which measured the maximum temperature in the cortical bone during osteotomy with a bone cut that was 5 mm in both diameter and depth. Three groups were formed depending on the irrigation conditions: no irrigation (G1), external irrigation (G2), and double irrigation (G3). Fifty drillings were performed for each group.The average thermal increase in the groups was 21.7 +/- 1.52 A degrees C in G1, 14.2 A +/- 0.70 A degrees C in G2, and 12.4 A +/- 0.75 A degrees C in G3. The results presented statistically significant differences among all groups (alpha = 0.05).The double irrigation technique resulted in a smaller increase in temperature in the cortical bone model, demonstrating a greater efficiency, which may be beneficial when compared to external irrigation alone.The trephine has been widely used in removing small blocks for bone graft, especially the posterior mandible, where the possibility of heating may be higher due to the density of cortical bone in this area. So it is important that the professionals select instruments that can reduce the risks of complications in the proposed treatment.

Estudo morfométrico do canal do hipoglosso

The hypoglossal nerve (HN) is responsible for the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Knowledge of this is extremely important because this nerve is responsible for tongue movement. HN paralysis can be associated to the disease itself in various zones in which the NH travels, mainly the hypoglossal canal (HC). Variations in shape of the hypoglossal canal have been pointed to as the cause of HN paralysis in several studies. Four hundred dried intact human skulls without sex or race identification, belonging to the Discipline of Anatomy of ICTSJC – UNESP were studied. Each canal was classified into types: type I (without division in the HC), type II (HC with low bone spike), type III (HC more than two projections bone), type IV (presence of complete bony bridge without dividing HC into two distinct canals) and type V (presence of bone bridge by dividing into two HC canals). HC was found in 100% of skulls studied in both side. Regarding types, we found 538 (67.25%) hypoglossal canal of type I (34%, right side and 33.25%, left side), 108 (13.5%) of type II (7.38%, right side, and 6.13%, left side), 60 (7.5%) hypoglossal canal of type III (3.5%, right side and 4.0%, left side) 84 (10.5%) of type IV (4.75%, right side and 5.75%, left side) and 5 (0.63%) of the type V (0.13%, right side and 0.5%, left side). We found 5 (0,63%) different HC and classified ourselves in type VI, VII and VIII. The average angle was 51,3º on right side and 50,25º on left side. Detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the CH supports professionals in interventions of bloody skull base and also in giving the correct diagnosis of the probable causes of paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve

Desempenho do cultivo da berinjela em plantio direto submetida a diferentes lâminas de irrigação

Este estudo foi conduzido no município de Seropédica, RJ, com o objetivo de se determinar, em cultivo orgânico e sistema de plantio direto, a produtividade da cultura da berinjela sob diferentes lâminas de irrigação e sistemas de cultivo (consorciada com leguminosa e solteira). O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos ao acaso, no esquema de parcela subdividida com quatro repetições caracterizando, na parcela, os tratamentos equivalentes à lâmina de irrigação (40; 70; 100 e 120% ETc) e, na subparcela, os sistemas de cultivo consorciado com feijão caupi e solteiro. Ambos os sistemas de cultivo não influenciaram a produtividade final da berinjela; no entanto, considerando as diferentes lâminas, a maior produtividade comercial foi de 65,41 Mg ha-1, obtida para uma lâmina total de 690,04 mm (106,8% ETc). A menor lâmina aplicada resultou em qualidade inferior dos frutos em relação às maiores lâminas, sendo a taxa de descarte dos frutos de 3 e 14%, respectivamente, para a maior e a menor lâmina.

Retrolabyrinthine approach for surgical placement of auditory brainstem implants in children

Conclusion: The extended retrolabyrinthine approach (RLA) is a safe and reliable approach for auditory brainstem placement in children. The surgical landmarks to reach cochlear nucleus are adequately exposed by this approach. Objective: To describe a new approach option for auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) in children, highlighting the anatomical landmarks to appropriately expose the foramen of Luschka. Methods: Three prelingually deafened children consecutively operated for ABIs via the RLA. Results: ABI placement via the RLA was successfully performed in all children without any further complications except multidirectional nystagmus in one child. The RLA we employed differed from that used for vestibular schwannoma only in the removal of the posterior semicircular canal. The lateral and superior semicircular canals and the vestibule remained intact, and there was no need to expose the dura of the internal auditory meatus. The jugular bulb was completely exposed to allow adequate visualization of the ninth cranial nerve and cerebellar flocculus.

Assessment of variations of the mandibular canal through cone beam computed tomography

The neurovascular bundle may be vulnerable during surgical procedures involving the mandible, especially when anatomical variations are present. Increased demand of implant surgeries, wider availability of three-dimensional exams, and lack of clear definitions in the literature indicate that features of anatomical variations should be revisited. The objective of the study was to evaluate features of anatomical variations related to mandibular canal (MC), such as bifid canals, anterior loop of mental nerve, and corticalization of MC. Additionally, bone trabeculation at the submandibular gland fossa region (SGF) was assessed and related to visibility of MC. Cone beam computed tomography exams from 100 patients (200 hemimandibles) were analyzed and the following parameters were registered: diameter and corticalization of MC; trabeculation in SGF region; presence of bifid MC, position of bifurcations, diameter, and direction of bifid canals; and measurement of anterior loops by two methods. Corticalization of the MC was observed in 59% of hemimandibles. In 23%, MC could be identified despite absence of corticalization. Diameter of MC was between 2.1 and 4 mm for nearly three quarters of the sample. In 80% of the sample trabeculation at the SGF was either decreased or not visible, and such cases showed correlation with absence of MC corticalization. Bifid MC affected 19% of the patients, mostly associated with additional mental foramina. Clinically significant anterior loop (> 2 mm of anterior extension) was observed in 22-28%, depending on the method. Our findings, together with previously reported limitations of conventional exams, draw attention to the unpredictability related to anatomical variations in neurovascularization, showing the contribution of individual assessment through different views of three-dimensional imaging prior to surgical procedures in the mandible.

Influence of pulp condition on the accuracy of an electronic foramen locator in posterior teeth: an in vivo study

The aim of this study was to assess, in vivo, the accuracy of the NovApex (R) electronic foramen locator in determining working length (WL) in vital and necrotic posterior teeth. The NovApex (R) was used in 144 canals: 35 teeth with vital pulps (68 canals) and 42 teeth with necrotic pulps (76 canals). WL was measured with the NovApex (R) locator and confirmed using the radiographic method. Differences between electronic and radiographic measurements ranging between 0.0 and 0.4 millimeters were classified as acceptable; differences equal to or greater than 0.5 millimeter were considered unacceptable. Pearson's chi-square test was used to assess the influence of pulp condition on the accuracy of NovApex (R) (alpha = 0.05). Regardless of pulp condition, differences between electronic and radiographic WL measurements were acceptable in 73.61% of the canals. No statistically significant differences in accuracy were observed when comparing vital and necrotic canals (p > 0.05). There were 38 unacceptable measurements. In none of these cases was the file tip located beyond the radiographic apex; in 32, it was located short of the NovApex (R) measurement. Pulp condition had no significant effect on the accuracy of NovApex (R).

Influência da sequência técnica do sistema K3 Endo na segurança e rapidez do preparo de canais curvos simulados

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi comparar duas sequências diferentes na rapidez e segurança no preparo de canais curvos simulados. Foram empregados 30 blocos de acrílico com canais simulados que foram divididos em Grupo 1 – La Axxess 20 e 35/.06 25/.06, 20/.06, 25/.04 e 20/.04 e Grupo 2 – K3 Universal (VTVT) – 25/.10, 25/.08, 35/.06, 30/.04, 25/.06 e 20/.04. No preparo de todos os blocos empregou-se a velocidade de 250 rpm e torque de 1.4N/cm. Foram confeccionados dois pontos externos de amálgama para mensuração do desvio e adotou-se 17 mm como comprimento de trabalho. No Grupo 1, dilatou-se até o instrumento 25/.04, enquanto que no Grupo 2 até o 25/.06, e cronometrou-se o tempo de preparo de cada bloco. Na análise do desvio, radiografias com lima k 15 (antes) e K 25 (depois) foram realizadas e digitalizadas, medindo-se o ângulo antes e depois no programa Digora for Windows 1.51. Os dados foram comparados pelo teste T-Student e Mann-Whitney. Os resultados mostraram que em ambas as técnicas não ocorreram diferenças significantes entre o ângulo antes e depois e que não ocorreu diferença significante entre os desvios médios do Grupo 1 (0,130) e do Grupo 2 (1,330). No tempo de preparo, o Grupo 1 foi significantemente mais rápido que o Grupo 2. No Grupo 1, ocorreu a fratura de 1 instrumento, enquanto que no Grupo 2 ocorrerem duas fraturas. Concluiu-se que ambas as técnicas são seguras para o preparo de canais simulados curvos, sendo que no Grupo 1 o tempo de preparo é menor.

Resultados preliminares de los análisis de contaminantes emergentes y sustancias prioritarias (2008/105/CE) en la red de control del Barranco de las Goteras (Gran Canaria)

[ES] En Gran Canaria, el uso de aguas regeneradas para el riego es una práctica utilizada desde hace más de treinta años, representando actualmente un 8% de los recursos hídricos utilizados (Consejo Insular de Aguas de Gran Canaria, com.per.). Recientemente y como respuesta al uso de aguas regeneradas, existe un creciente interés por la presencia de los denominados contaminantes emergentes en las aguas subterráneas y superficiales. Algunos son altamente móviles con potencial de lixiviación a las aguas subterráneas, mientras que otros se pueden acumular en la capa superior del suelo gracias a su capacidad adsorbente o son biodegradados en este medio. Los contenidos de algunas de estas sustancias en el agua son objeto de control atendiendo al listado de sustancias prioritarias de la Directiva 2008/105/CE. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la situación en la zona del campo de golf de Bandama (NE de Gran Canaria), que ha sido regado con aguas regeneradas desde 1976, donde se ha establecido una red de control de agua de riego y agua subterránea, a partir de la que se están analizando sistemáticamente 185 compuestos emergentes y prioritarios.

Resistencia a antibióticos en bacterias aisladas de muestras de agua en Gran Canaria y su relación con la presencia de contaminantes emergentes

[ES]Hemos analizado la posible relación entre la presencia de contaminantes emergentes en agua regenerada para riego, agua del lixiviado del suelo y agua subterránea y la resistencia a antibióticos de las bacterias aisladas. Se tomaron muestras de agua. Cada muestra se dividió en dos partes. Una se centrifugó y se resembró en diferentes medios. Cincuenta mililitros de la segunda parte se añadieron a Caldo Brain Heart. En la siembra directa de agua de riego y solución del suelo se detectaron numerosas colonias. El crecimiento en la siembra directa de agua de galería fue escaso, y no hubo crecimiento cuando se sembró agua de pozo. Mediante enriquecimiento en Caldo BHI y resiembra posterior, se obtuvieron numerosas colonias
