Rock in Rio – um festival (im)pertinente à música brasileira e à redemocratização nacional

A análise histórica sobre a realização do Rock in Rio (Rio de Janeiro, 1985), evento musical que contou com bandas e cantores nacionais e internacionais, permite trazer, além de dados históricos sobre a inédita concretização de um megaevento musical no Brasil, elementos de compreensão acerca da discussão sobre o Festival bem como o próprio rock nacional oitentista no período de redemocratização política brasileira. Pois, as críticas ao Rock in Rio partiram tanto de membros da Igreja Católica quanto perpassaram o campo musical e político, sempre respaldadas, aliás, em reações em defesa da “autêntica” música brasileira contra a “invasão” do rock, bem como sobre o suposto teor alienante e alienado das esferas e estruturas do rock. Além disso, este artigo busca refletir sobre mais um velho-novo gênero musical nos primeiros e mancos passos da redemocratização política brasileira.

Influência de calços na orientação postural de indivíduos com escoliose idiopática

INTRODUCTION: The relationship between the orientation of the segments and the adjustments that can be triggered by shoe lift and insoles in scoliotic patients during maintenance of standing position is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To verify static changes and those associated with unilateral manipulations of shoe lift in the postural orientation in people with idiopathic scoliosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experimental group composed of ten patients with idiopathic scoliosis with double curve (less 10°) and control group with ten participants without scoliosis (aging from 13 to 24 years). Participants were videotaped in upright stance, standing with no, low (1 cm), and high (3 cm) shoe lift, which were placed under right and left shoe. In each condition, the participant maintain upright stance for 15 seconds and reflective markers were affixed on specific anatomical places. Postural angles were obtained: high thoracic; medium thoracic; thoracolumbar; and lumbar, as well segmental angles: shoulder; scapula; pelvis; and knee. RESULTS: In the no shoe lift condition, differences were observed between groups for high and medium thoracic angles and for shoulder. With low and high shoe lift under the right foot, difference was observed between shoe lift heights for high thoracic, for pelvis and knee angles. With low and high shoe lift under the left foot, differences between groups were observed for thoracolumbar angle and between shoe lift heights for pelvis and knee angles. CONCLUSIONS: The shoe lift promotes reorientation in the lower regions of the spine and segments of pelvis and knee. It might be suggested that in the scoliosis with double curves, manipulation in the basis of support changes the alignment of the trunk that might promote structural reorganization and the search of new adjustments among segments in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

Emergence and stability of interlimb coordination patterns in children with developmental coordination disorder

The purpose of this study was to investigate the emergence and stability of coordination patterns in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) when performing a rhythmic interlimb coordination task on rigid (floor) and elastic (mini-trampoline) surfaces. Twelve typically developing (TD) children and 12 children with DCD were required to clap while jumping under different conditions: in a chosen pattern Free; when the feet touched the surface - Clapping-surface; when the body reached the maximum jumping height, Clapping-jump; and when the feet touched the surface and the body reached the maximum jumping height - Clapping-both. The results showed that the coordination pattern of children with DCD was more variable in the Free, Clapping-surface, and Clapping-jumping conditions and more variable on the mini-trampoline than on the floor under the Free condition when compared with the TD children. Clapping-jumping was more difficult to perform than Clapping-surface for both groups. These findings suggest that the children with DCD were less capable of rhythmically coordinating the jumping-clapping task because they used a type of exploratory strategy regarding the physical properties of the surfaces, whereas the TD children used a type of adaptive strategy displaying behavior that was more consistent across the tasks/environmental demands.

Propriedades de adesão e invasão de cepas de Escherichia coli isoladas de pacientes com doença inflamatória intestinal

A Doença Inflamatória Intestinal (DII) engloba um grupo de processos inflamatórios crônicos de causas não conhecidas. Duas formas clínicas da DII são reconhecidas atualmente: a Retocolite Ulcerativa (RU) e a Doença de Crohn (DC). Foram isoladas de 348 amostras, dos quais 17 foram diagnosticados com com DC, e 40 com RU. Os 41 restantes apresentavam outras patologias e compreenderam o grupo controle. Entre as amostras que apresentaram adesão positiva, 110 delas apresentaram padrão de Adesão Agregativa (AA) e 19 apresentaram padrão de Adesão Difusa (AD). A cepa, DII/013, apresentou o padrão de adesão agregativo e invisibilidade média 18 vezes superior à cepa da EIEC. Quando observada ao microscópio eletrônico, bactérias intracelulares foram detectadas na amostra. Assim, a maioria das amostras apresentaram padrão de adesão agregativo, indicando juntamente com estudos anteriores, que esse padrão teria uma possível relação com a patogenicidade da bactéria em relação a DII

Tabu e preconceito linguístico

The lexicon of a language shows the way the community views the world, in its different aspects. Hence, through the study of the lexicon we can get a clearer idea of the different forms of prejudice present in a society. The aim of this study is to present reflections and theories concerning obscene lexical items and linguistics taboos associated to them, and to discuss the linguistic prejudice that this kind of lexicon may suffer.

Immediate human pulp response to ethanol-wet bonding technique

To evaluate the short-term response of human pulps to ethanol-wet bonding technique. Methods Deep class V cavities were prepared on 17 sound premolars and divided into three groups. After acid-etching, the cavities from groups 1 (G1) and 2 (G2) were filled with 100% ethanol or distilled water, respectively, for 60 s before the application of Single Bond 2. In group 3 (G3, control), the cavity floor was lined with calcium hydroxide before etching and bonding. All cavities were restored with resin composite. Two teeth were used as intact control. The teeth were extracted 48 h after the clinical procedures. From each tooth serial sections were obtained and stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H/E) and Masson's trichrome. Bacteria microleakage was assessed using Brown & Brenn. All sections were blindly evaluated for five histological features. Results Mean remaining dentine thickness was 463 ± 65 μm (G1); 425 ± 184 μm (G2); and 348 ± 194 μm (G3). Similar pulp reactions followed ethanol- or water-wet bonding techniques. Slight inflammatory responses and disruption of the odontoblast layer related to the cavity floor were seen in all groups. Stained bacteria were not detected in any cavities. Normal pulp tissue was observed in G3 except for one case. Conclusions After 48 h, ethanol-wet bonding does not increase pulpal damage compared to water-wet bonding technique. Clinical significance Ethanol-wet bonding may increase resin-dentine bond durability. This study reported the in vivo response of human pulp tissue when 100% ethanol was applied previously to an etch-and-rinse simplified adhesive system.

Características clínicas da associação entre o bruxismo do sono e o refluxo gastroesofágico merecem atenção profissional

Introduction: Bruxism has been defined as an oral parafunctional activity that includes clenching and/or grinding the teeth while asleep or awake. In addition to sleep bruxism (SB), various other orofacial movements sporadically occur during sleep. Occasional regurgitation and heartburn due to gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are frequent in the general population. GER refers to the presence of symptoms that are secondary to the reflux of gastric content through the esophagus with or without signs of esophageal mucosal lesions. Dentists are often the first health care professionals to diagnose GER through observation of its oral manifestation. Objective: The aim of the present case reports was to discuss the diagnosis and clinical procedures followed in two patients with SB and GER, thereby contributing to the dissemination of knowledge about these two entities. We therefore recommend dentists to be alert to identifying the first signs of GER that appear in the oral cavity. Conclusion: At this point, we highlight the importance of treating the patient as a whole, in an endeavor to identify other sources of the problems that could contribute as factors aggravating these conditions.
