Estudo da técnica de ressonância magnética para algumas aplicações voltadas à neurologia e à neurociência

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is studied since 1938, is a technique used in medicine to produce high quality images from inside the human body. These images are produced non-invasively and without ionizing radiation. In addition, MRI is an extremely flexible technique, with which it is possible to produce images with different contrasts that provide different information about the anatomy, structure and function of the human body, and it is therefore one of the techniques preferred by radiologists. The phenomenon of MRI is based on the interaction of magnetic fields with the nuclear spins of the scanned sample. In this work a detailed study of the technique of magnetic resonance imaging is presented, with a description of the main features of the images produced by the technique and an analysis of its application to the fields of applications Neurology and Neuroscience

Angiografia comparativa, prós e contras entre os métodos: por raios-X, Tomografia Computadorizada e Ressonância Magnética

By the early 20th century, the blood vessels could only be seen by anatomical studies. Shortly after the discovery of X-rays by Conrad Roentgen in 1895, the first experiments with radiographic imaging were performed with blood vessels. In 1905, the first experiment involving catheterization of arterial and venous system in dogs was performed and only in 1914 performed on living human patients. Parallel to these landmarks, there were advances in diagnostic imaging devices and the evolution of contrast substances was of utmost importance to the current angiography occupy a prominent role not only in terms of diagnosis, but also in the treatment of various disorders. The main objective of this review is to weave historical considerations and comparisons between the different methodologies used in angiography, because its importance; that may be in future, a veterinary diagnostic decisive test

Caracterização da contribuição da albumina para a formação do espectro de ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) do plasma sanguíneo

The plasma represents a average of the information referring biochemists to the physiology of the organism as a whole, therefore it indirectly or directly interacts with all tissues of the body. In such a way the plasma can be considered as a metabolic “soup”. Using the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy sanguineous plasma spectra had been generated and using deconvolution techniques it was possible to know the contribution of the albumin for the formation of the spectra of the sanguineous plasma

Separação de Isótopos por Ressonância

Devido a grande demanda do uso da energia atômica, as pesquisas sobre o processo de separação de isótopos tornam-se cada vez mais importantes. Neste trabalho mostramos uma técnica de separação de isótopos usando o efeito da ressonância.

Frequência de ressonância e sondagem peri-implantar em implantes curtos sob carga imediata com prótese total fixa em cantiléver na arcada mandibular: acompanhamento de um ano

This paper presents a case report with the use of short dental implants and immediate prosthesis placement. After 13 months of follow-up, peri-implant probing values are near 1.87 mm and ISQ values around 78.56.

Correção da deficiência transversa da maxila por meio da expansão rápida da maxila cirurgicamente assistida

Fundamentation: The correction of maxillary transverse deficiencies involves orthodontic and surgical procedures that can be performed before or after skeletal maturity. The surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SAR ME) is performed by osteotomies through the lateral walls of the maxilla, zygomatic and canines buttresses, palatal and pterygomaxillary sutures, causing the maxillary disjunction. Followed by activation of the expander to the desired over-expansion in order to correct intercuspal later. Objective: The purpose of this study was to discuss the issues involved in the diagnosis of maxillary atresia, SAR ME indications, as well as surgical technique, through a case study. Methods: The male patient, 19 years old, had severe transverse maxillary deficiency with facial pattern III , Class III , with great lip incompetence. The patient underwent general anesthesia in a hospital environment, the osteotomies was done according to the technique described by Epker and Wolford (1980). Postoperatively, the patient underwent activations daily for 15 days and after 6 months, the orthodontist installed fixed orthodontic appliance to prepare the patient to orthognathic surgery later. Conclusion: The diagnosis by clinical evaluation and models study is essential for the indication of SAR ME and this procedure provides good predictability in the correction of transverse deficiency, with minimal morbidity.

Aprendizagem significativa do conceito de ressonância

In this research work we verified the interaction between teacher and students through the use of reading an alternative text, the use of an experimental activity demonstration and presentation of videos involving the concept of resonance in a room on the 3rd year of teaching medium, led to meaningful learning of that concept. The instruments for the creation of data were based on audio and video records, taken during the lecture and the written evaluations performed by the students two weeks later. The results showed that this interaction, mediated by the use of these resources, led to meaningful learning of the concept of resonance. It was also possible to observe the students' motivation to participate actively in class.

The expanded spectrum of neuromyelitis optica - evidences for a new definition

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) has been traditionally described as the association of recurrent or bilateral optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM). Identification of aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) has deeply changed the concept of NMO. A spectrum of NMO disorders (NMOSD) has been formulated comprising conditions which include both AQP4-IgG seropositivity and one of the index events of the disease (recurrent or bilateral optic neuritis and LETM). Most NMO patients harbor asymptomatic brain MRI lesions, some of them considered as typical of NMO. Some patients with aquaporin-4 autoimmunity present brainstem, hypothalamic or encephalopathy symptoms either preceding an index event or occurring isolatedly with no evidence of optic nerve or spinal involvement. On the opposite way, other patients have optic neuritis or LETM in association with typical lesions of NMO on brain MRI and yet are AQP4-IgG seronegative. An expanded spectrum of NMO disorders is proposed to include these cases.

Tromboflebite plantar: achados em ressonância magnética

OBJETIVO: Demonstrar os achados em ressonância magnética (RM) da tromboflebite plantar. MÉTODOS: Revisão retrospectiva de 20 pacientes com dor na região plantar nos quais os achados de ressonância magnética indicaram tromboflebite plantar. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 14 homens e seis mulheres, com idade média de 46,7 anos. Oito desses pacientes também foram submetidos à ultrassonografia com doppler, que confirmaram a tromboflebite. As imagens de ressonância magnética foram avaliadas em consenso por dois radiologistas com experiência em radiologia do sistema musculoesquelético (mais de 10 anos cada um), demonstrando edema perivascular em todos os 20 pacientes (100%) e edema muscular em 19 dos 20 pacientes (95%). Todos os 20 pacientes apresentavam intensidade de sinal intermediária intraluminal em T2 (100%) e ectasia venosa estava presente em 17 dos 20 casos (85%). Veias colaterais foram visualizadas em um dos 20 pacientes (5%). Todos os 14 casos (100%), nos quais o contraste intravenoso foi administrado, apresentavam realce dos tecidos perivenulares e defeito de enchimento intraluminal. Ectasia venosa, perda da compressibilidade e ausência de fluxo na ultrassonografia com doppler também foram observados em todos os oito casos examinados pelo método. CONCLUSÕES: A RM é um método sensível na avaliação de tromboflebite plantar em pacientes com dor plantar.
