Princípios de redução das fraturas panfaciais: revisão de literatura

Are called panfacial fractures when the upper, middle and lower facial thirds present fractures concurrently. In clinical practice, came to imply the involvement of two facial thirds. Panfacial fractures are usually accompanied by other systemic lesions that impair the patient's life and therefore require primary treatment. Almost invariably are associated with damage to soft tissues and severe losses of bone structures which may lead to severe facial deformations and malocclusions. The panfacial fractures treatment is complex because often there isn’t a stable bone structure to guide the reduction of various fractures. Several orders of treatment have been proposed, but they are variations of the two classical approaches "bottom to top and inside-out" and "top to bottom and out-inside". The aim of this paper is to discuss the principles of management and panfacial fractures treatment, emphasizing the sequence of fracture reduction and highlighting its indications, advantages and disadvantages, through literature review and reports of surgical clinic cases. We conclude that the exact sequence of fracture reduction is not as important as developing a treatment plan that allows accurate positioning of the fractured segments.

Transmissão congênita em cabras reinfectadas com Toxoplasma gondii

This study evaluated the potential of congenital transmission in goats experimentally infected and reinfected with Toxoplasma gondii, in three gestational stages (initial, intermediate and final). Of the 25 non-pregnant females negative for T. gondii, 20 were orally inoculated with 2.5 x 103 T. gondii ME49 oocysts. Of these, 15 pregnant females chronically infected were reinoculated, via oral, with 2.5 x 103 T. gondii VEG oocysts. Five experimental groups were formed (n=5): I, II and III (reinoculations in the initial, intermediate and final gestational stage, respectively), IV (inoculation) and V (no inoculation). Clinical and serological exams (IgG IFAT [indirect immunofluorescence antibody test]) in different days of evaluation, and bioassay and PCR were performed in all goats. In the infected goats with T. gondii a peak of 40.2°C (IV) at nine, seroconversion (IgG≥64) at 21 and stabilization (IgG<1024) at 119 days postinoculation were observed. In the reinfected goats with T. gondii occurred an increase in IgG titers (≥1,024) at 28 (I), 7 (II) and 3 (III) days post-reinoculation. During kidding were observed only in the reinfected groups: dystocia, malformation body, stillbirth and weakness, and IgG anti-Toxoplasma were detected in all and in some offsprings of the reinfected and infected goats, respectively. Tissue parasitism by T. gondii was diagnosed by bioassay and PCR in infected and reinfected goats and in their offspring. The congenital toxoplasmosis was possible in goats chronically infected and reinfected with T. gondii. The primary infection with T. gondii did not protect the pregnant goats against congenital disease resulting from toxoplasmic reinfection, in different gestational stages (initial, intermediate and final).

A transmissão vertical do HIV na Percepção de Mulheres Brasileiras

This study had the aim of verify the perception of women and pregnant women about the HIV vertical transmission. It was approved by the Ethical Review Board. A semistructured questionnaire, pretested, was used, with open and closed questions which presented variables about socioeconomiccultural status and HIV vertical transmission. After informed consent, 114 women were enrolled in the study, 72 of them pregnant women, who looked for health care on the public health service of a Brazilian city, at São Paulo State, from October, 2009 to January, 2010. None of the interviewed women knew the meaning of HIV vertical transmission term. When asked about HIV transmission from mother to child, 86.8% answered it could happen, but half of them didn’t know how it occurred and only 34.2% knew how to prevent, but in a deficient way. As conclusion, these women did not know the HIV vertical transmission term and when they had some knowledge this was limited. These results serve as support for a preventive program for conscientization of women about HIV vertical transmission.

Avaliação da redução de matéria orgânica do tratamento do efluente líquido deextração de fécula de mandioca por processo de biodigestão anaeróbia.

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment of cassava wastewater, separately from the root washing water, by means of ascending flux anaerobic digesters, with separation of the phases, without temperature control or addition of chemical products and to evaluate its suitability by means of its physical and chemical characteristics for throwing in receiving body, public sewage system or application in fertilization and irrigation. After reactors had been stabilized, essays were conducted varying feeding flow with 8.0, 12.0 and 16.0 Ld-1 corresponding to a hydraulic retention time of 8.17, 5.44 and 4.08 days, respectively. The best reduction for organic load reduction were obtained with hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 8.17 and 5.44 days with mean efficiencies of 89.8 and 90.9%, respectively.

Redução da quantidade de vinhaça através da evaporação

A perspectiva de aumento da produção de álcool combustível causa preocupação a respeito da vinhaça, subproduto da destilação do etanol de cana. A vinhaça é um poluente com alto teor de orgânicos e que precisa ser tratada. Atualmente, a utilização da vinhaça in natura no solo é comum, porém, há controvérsias sobre salinização do solo e contaminação de aqüíferos subterrâneos. Dentre os processos de tratamento da vinhaça, encontram-se na literatura científica, vários trabalhos a respeito da fertirrigação e digestão anaeróbia, mas não a respeito da evaporação da vinhaça, que pode ser realizada através de evaporadores tipo falling film. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o potencial de redução da quantidade de vinhaça através da evaporação, o que não descarta a utilização da vinhaça concentrada como fertilizante. Para isto, elaborou-se o balanço de massa e energia de uma planta de evaporação de vinhaça localizada na cidade de Potirendaba – SP, confrontando os resultados obtidos com os dados obtidos na unidade. A unidade de evaporação tem capacidade de processar cerca de 100 m3 vinhaça, retornando cerca de 80 m3 elaborado através de um software comercial (SugarsTM). Os resultados obtidos pela simulação refletiram os dados coletados na planta. /h de água para o processo da usina. O balanço foi elaborado através de um software comercial (SugarsTM). Os resultados obtidos pela simulação refletiram os dados coletados na planta.

A contribuição do projeto de identidade corporativa na redução da poluição visual nas cidades

One of the actual biggest problems in big towns is the visual pollution. The advertising has become a necessity for any type of business, resulting in the use of as urban spaces as possible like fronts structures, lights, with too many colors and details to keep the attention of sight, thus becoming an important problem for the social and cultural coexistence. The work of graphic designer can reduce this problem through the concepts of visual identity applied on the enterprise building front, giving harmony in the colors and spaces where they can apply the advertising without to attack the urban beauty and esthetics.

A contribuição do projeto de identidade coorporativa na redução da poluição visual

Among Richard Wagner´s work output one finds the Tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung, composed of four stories interconnected by the same plot. The theme is mythological and involves dramatis personae taken from the nordic universe. This article examines Erda, one of the protagonists of the story as she is called in the musical drama. This article will consist of a series of pertinent questions posed in order to fully understanding of the character and its role in the plot, the vocal type assigned to it and the co-relation between its Leitmotiv and the musical interweaving created by the composer, besides exploring other themes that bear direct relationship with the same.

A política externa estadunidense no atual quadro político sul-americano

The central thesis that we aim to survey in this paper is that the present South-American political scene has required of the American imperialism a strategical redesign, in the sense of the neutralization, weakening and, if it is possible, destruction of regional political experiences/tendencies not aligned to its foreign politics. Under the mask of the defense of democracy and beneath the argument that Latin American "market oriented politics" are at stake, due to questions that goes back from the "delin-quency" —in Mexico—, the global terrorism, the organized international crime up to the worldwide drug traffic, the global strategy of American imperialism then sets up the definition of a new doctrine of preventive war that justifies the utilization of hard power against any country, in the name of its own defense. At the heart of the question what —actually— is in the agenda is the defense (and reproduction) of the benefits of its multinationals corporations and financial capital, by means of the international sub-traction of profitable assets, such as financial, energetic, communicational and natural resources, in addition to the domination of local markets, beyond facilitating capital flee amongst others.

O rádio na educação brasileira

The scenario that outlines this research project is characterized by the centrality of ICT on society and the necessity of having them embedded on education, both face-to-face and distance learning. Amongst the available ICT, the medium radio has been chosen due to its popularity within Brazilian society, as well as its 90 years of initiatives applied on education. Although the radio seems to be historically useful to education, it has been supporting more conservative approaches, such as teaching centred practices, simplytransmitted lessons and assessment based on memorization. On the other hand, Brazilian educational system has been changed since the early 90s, and those reforms brought new challenges to the radio on education, such as training critical listeners, concerned citizens, people with aesthetic sensibility, ethical standards etc. Thus, a systematic assessment of the real educational possibilities of the radio is even more necessary. This research projectaims to retrieve the most prominent educational initiatives using the radio, connecting them to the Brazilian regulatory framework on Education. The methodology consists of desk research and official documents analyses.

Análise dos benefícios do edi para a competitividade logística das organizações

The concept of EDI -Electronic Data Interchange is normally used to determine integration technologies between companies. Logistically, this implies in the integrationbetween enterprises in supply chain, involving the electronic transmission of data and thus reducing human intervention in the process, still favoring organizational performance. This study investigated the main benefits of EDI for organizational competitiveness and its possible impacton improving logistics performance of four companies comprising large national networks. Through multiple case studieswere able to identify common features that the use of EDI can favorer these companies. The results were significant and assume that the use of this tool can add value to logistics, primarily through streamlining processes, inventory optimization, cost reduction and performance improvement potential. Thus, the use of Electronic Data Interchange as a strategic tool for logistics proved, through this study, an efficient alternative for business improvement and good practice, able to leverage competitive advantages not only for individual companies, but also for the entire supply chain.
