Fatores extrínsecos que afetam a absorção de água em carcaças de frango de corte

O Brasil ocupa uma posição de destaque como produtor e exportador de carne de frango. Um parâmetro importante na qualidade da carne de frango é a quantidade de água absorvida pela carcaça durante o processamento. No Brasil, o resfriamento das carcaças é feito por imersão em água refrigerada e, neste processo, a carcaça é reidratada, recuperando a água perdida durante o transporte e as operações iniciais. Este projeto teve como objetivo avaliar os fatores extrínsecos que podem influenciar a absorção de água pela carne de frango. Para isso, foram utilizados 144 frangos da linhagem Cobb, divididos em 24 grupos de seis aves. Aos 42 dias de idade, uma ave de cada grupo, com peso variando até 10% para mais ou para menos, em relação à média do grupo, foram abatidas em abatedouro experimental. A etapa de resfriamento foi realizada seguindo um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com arranjo fatorial 3x2, onde os fatores foram: três temperaturas na primeira seção do sistema de refrigeração (4, 10 e 16 º C) e dois graus de dureza da água (água dura e água mole), com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições. A legislação brasileira estabelece que a temperatura da água na primeira seção do resfriador não deve ser superior a 16ºC. Todas as carcaças permaneceram na primeira seção do resfriador durante 30 minutos e, em seguida, foram transferidas para outro tanque com água a 4ºC, permanecendo até atingir 7ºC. As carcaças foram pesadas antes e após o resfriamento por imersão, para avaliação da percentagem de água absorvida. A absorção de água foi influenciada pela temperatura inicial da água no pré-resfriador e pela dureza da água. Quando imersas inicialmente em água a 4ºC, as carcaças absorveram, em média, 2,70%, uma absorção significativamente menor do que a média de 3,83% observada nas carcaças que foram inicialmente imersas em água a 16ºC (p<0,05). As carcaças imersas em água a 10ºC apresentaram média de absorção de água de 3,66%, não diferindo das médias observadas nos outros tratamentos (p>0,05). Em água dura, a média de absorção de água foi de 2,46% e, em água mole, de 4,33% (p<0,05). Em todos os tratamentos, a absorção de água não excedeu o limite estabelecido pela legislação brasileira, que é de, no máximo, 8%. Esta informação é importante para controlar a absorção de água pelas carcaças em processamento de carne de frango, impedindo que os consumidores sejam prejudicados.

O papel do epstein barr vírus na carcinogênese oral

Introduction: the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the head and neck cancer of higher occurrence, representing about 90% of all these tumors. The SCC has several risk factors as smoking, alcohol and some oncogenic viruses, including the Epstein Barr virus (EBV). The EBV is a member of Herpesviridae family and has tropism for B lymphocytes and also for epithelial cells. Aim: the aim of this study was accomplish a review of the literature about the presence of the EBV in oral carcinomas. Conclusion: EBV is closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a SCC of high incidence in Southeast Asia, however its role in others oral SCC has not been proved.

Uso de implantes zigomáticos na fixação de próteses bucomaxilofaciais

The maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation aims of individuals with craniofacial deformities resulting from trauma, congenital malformations or tumors. Many researches have been done to improve the stability and retention of dentures in patients. With the advent of osseointegration, the maxillofacial prosthesis suffered a major advance making possible the realization of prosthetic works with stability, aesthetic quality and predictable results. This paper reviews the literature regarding the use of zygomatic implants in the fixation of maxillofacial prostheses.

Biofilmes orais como um possível fator de risco ao câncer bucal: revisão da literatura

Introduction: much studies regarding risk factors associated with oral cancer. Factors such as smoking and alcohol and solar radiation are well established, but others, such as bacterial influence in the development or progression of a tumor still remain unexplained. Interest in the possible relationship between bacteria and different stages of cancer development has increased since the classification of H. pylori by the WHO as a definite carcinogen. Subsequently, links between infection and the onset of cancer in various sites in the body were discovered. Review of literature: this literature review attempts to show the influence of poor oral hygiene, with consequent bacterial accumulation as a possible important risk factor for the initiation and development of mouth cancer, and correlate the possible mechanisms by which bacteria can initiate or promote carcinogenesis. Conclusion: there is much evidence that bacteria in the oral cavity and periodontopathic are present in tumor tissue, however, still can not affirm that these bacteria initiate or promote carcinogenesis.

Reabilitação total bimaxilar e o restabelecimento da tríade: função, fonética e estética

O tratamento de indivíduos totalmente desdentados, desde os primórdios dos conceitos e fundamentos da reabilita-ção oral, tem sido um grande desafio para os profissionais da odontologia, especialmente em relação à retenção, suporte e estabilidade das próteses totais. Esses pré-requisitos protéticos estão geralmente deficientes em pacientes que apresentam um longo período de desdentamento, com grande atrofia e reabsor-ção dos rebordos alveolares, especialmente no arco mandibular. Com o advento da implantodontia e com a evolução sequencial dos estudos envolvendo o processo de osseointegração essa filosofia se tornou otimizada pelas próteses totais fixas implantossuportadas, denominadas próteses protocolo, repre-sentando uma modalidade clinicamente previsível no âmbito da dontologia moderna. Com base nessa premissa, o objetivo do presente trabalho é elucidar a sequência clínica de uma reabilitação total bimaxilar, conjugando-se uma prótese total convencional superior e uma prótese protocolo inferior.

A comparative analysis of caries and fluorosis among cities with and without public water supply fluoridation in São Paulo State, Brazil

Purpose: This population-based, cross-sectional study aimed to record the DMFT index for 12 year-old children with dental caries and fluorosis levels in cities with and without public water supply fluoridation. Methods: From the 101 municipalities belonging to the Health Regional Department XV (DRSXV-SJRP) of the São Paulo state in the Southeast region of Brazil, 85 cities were selected after exclusion of those with incomplete data and less than ten years of fluoridation treatment in 2004. The criteria adopted for the assessment of dental caries and fluorosis levels were based on the guidelines published in the WHO Manual 4th edition. The data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact tests at a significance level of 5%. Results: The prevalence of caries in 12 year-old children had no significant association with fluoridated water, and was considered “moderate” and “high” in cities without fluoridation and “low” and “moderate” in cities with fluoridation. A significant association was found between water fluoridation and fluorosis (P=0.001), but not between water fluoridation and the DMFT index (P=0.119). Conclusion: The prevalence of fluorosis was related to water fluoridation in this study. However, fluorosis was also observed in non-fluoridated cities, which may result from fluoride intake through other sources.

Stress levels and quality of sleep in subjects with temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Purpose: The aim of this study was to test the association between quality of sleep and stress in individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Methods: The study sample consisted of 354 adult subjects (males and females) from the municipality of Piacatu, São Paulo state, in the Southeast region of Brazil. Data were collected using the Fonseca’s Questionnaire to record the level of TMD, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess quality of sleep and the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) to record stress level. The data were analyzed by the software Epi Info 2000 version 3.2 using a chi-square test at the 0.05 level of significance. Results: One hundred and eighty (50.8%) subjects had some level of TMD. The statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between the three stress scores and the presence or absence of sleep disorders, considering an overall PSQI score > 5 as an indicator of a subject with sleep problems (P<0.01). Conclusion: Both quality of sleep and stress levels were associated with TMD in this sample.

Perceptions of educators and students about using fluoridated mouthwashes

Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the perceptions and opinions of public school teachers and students in the city of Araçatuba, SP, Brazil, on the importance of using fluoridated mouthwashes, the difficulties of the method and the procedure in general. Methods: Students from grades 5 through 8 in schools with and without dental services were asked about their opinion on the use of fluoridated mouthwashes. The educators answered questions about the importance of preventive methods in oral health and the difficulties in performing those methods at school. Data were collected using a faces scale, a categorization method, and a Likert scale with five levels of responses to check the level of agreement with the questions. Results: The sample consisted of 264 (40.3%) teachers and 5,788 (73.6%) students. A total of 254 (96.2%) and 72 (27.3%) teachers responded favorably to the first and second questions, respectively. A total of 1,128 (19.5%) students had negative feelings about the fluoridated mouthwash. Conclusion: The majority of the teachers supported the use of fluoridated mouthwashes; however, a large number of teachers believed that the practice disrupts the class routine. Most of the students had a positive opinion about the use of fluoridated mouthwash, although they highlighted some negative aspects, which were overcome by the benefits that the method provides.
