Fixed mandibular propulsion appliances are an alternative for the treatment of Class II malocclusion in individuals with mandibular deficiency. Since they are fixed appliances, said devices keep the mandible in an anterior-forced position during rest and during all mandibular functions. When a propulsive appliance is used, the lower jaw is displaced forward and downward. This movement leads to a new position of the condyle, which can, ultimately affect the normal functioning of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this paper was to review effects of fixed mandibular propulsive appliance on TMJ. Inclusion criteria considered studies on animals or humans using TMJ radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Studies confirm a favorable relation between condyle and glenoid fossa following treatment with fixed mandibular propulsion appliances.

The technology, through the advent of new equipments that allow imaging exams, has helped very much in the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases in Dentistry. The use of informatics, in general, in the manufacture of clinical reports is increasingly present in the dental offices. The legal validity of these systems is questioned, and is matter of discussion. This work makes considerations about Imageology or Diagnostic by image, a new area that is appearing on Dentistry. Among other exams, there are: digital radiography, tomography, computed tomography, artomography, magnetic resonance, computed cefalometry and ultra-sonography. It permits the professional to obtain a better diagnostic, and to the patient, the visualization of his problem and treatment. A survey on the possibilities of using informatics in Dentistry, particularly in Radiology, was also carried out, as well as the legal aspects, which are in accordance with the Law 8.935/94, what guarantees its practicability. Digital Certification is a mechanism that provides legal validity to documents and, as such, to radiographic images and others. It is a procedure that the dentist should take to ensure that he/she has safeguarded the judicial proofs that may be necessary in an eventual demand.

Background: To establish the best methodology for diagnosis and management of patients with solid and complex renal masses by comparing the costs and benefits of different imaging methods and to improve differential diagnosis of these benign and malignant lesions, particularly by investigating tumour calcifications. Methods: We performed a prospective study on 31 patients with solid or complex masses by submitting them to Abdominal Ultrasonography (US), Doppler Ultrasonography of the renal mass (US Dop), Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Results: We found 28 patients with malignant and three with benign masses. Of the 28 malignant, 17 showed calcifications at CT; 16 central and one was of the pure peripheral curvilinear type (egg shell). Excretory Urography (IVP) had a significantly lower detection rate for central calcifications than both US and CT. Benign and malignant masses appeared as described in literature, with US, CT and MRI showing high sensitivity and specificity in renal tumor diagnosis. The exception was US Dop where we obtained lower sensitivity for the characterization of malignant tumor flow. Conclusions: In this series we were surprised to find that CT revealed central calcifications in 51.6% of patients, all with malignant lesions, while, literature reports a frequency of calcification in renal cell carcinoma between 8 and 22%, in studies using abdominal films and EU (IVP). This finding is of great importance when we consider that these calcifications occur particularly in malignant neoplasms. As a result of comparing these different imaging methods we have developed a better methodology for renal tumor investigation.

A modificação de nanopartículas de óxido de ferro tem sido motivo de diversos estudos devido ao grande potencial em aplicações tecnológicas, em especial a área biomédica, pela aliança das propriedades magnéticas dos óxidos com a funcionalidade que a dextrana confere a esse material. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo sintetizar e caracterizar o sistema óxido de ferro/dextranas. O óxido de ferro foi obtido pela reação de co-precipitação de sais de ferro (II) e ferro (III) - na razão molar 1:2 - com hidróxido de sódio e a modificação das partículas magnéticas se deu por dois métodos: (I) a co-precipitação na presença de dextrana e carboximetil dextrana e (II) a co-precipitação seguida da modificação. Para modificação proposta pelo método (II) se fez necessário enxertar a dextrana em ácido acrílico, utilizando o íon Ce(IV) como iniciador da reação de polimerização. Nessa etapa se averiguou a concentração de iniciador ótima para a síntese e, através da técnica de espectroscopia de infravermelho, se pode confirmar a eficiência do enxerto. A concentração 0,3% de íon Ce(IV) apresentou melhor distribuição de tamanho, obtidos por análises de microscopia eletrônica de varredura e espalhamento de luz dinâmico, sendo escolhida para síntese junto a partícula magnética. A difratometria de raio X permitiu determinar a formação de estrutura cristalina da magnetita e maghemita, que são muito parecidas entre si, porém os espectros de infravermelho apontaram desdobramentos da ligação Fe - O característica da maghemita. A relação Fe2+/ Fe3+ obtida por espectrofotometria também resultou em oxidação. A estabilidade coloidal dos sistemas foi avaliada através de medidas de potencial zeta. A modificação da partícula magnética com carboximetil dextrana foi equivalente para os dois métodos empregados, entretanto a modificação com ...
