Introduction: The study of graft donor sites, whether from the anatomical, physiological or morphological point of view, has become a topic of current interest, due to the increasing number of patients needing facial bone reconstruction for various reasons. Purpose: In view of the need to constantly improve surgical techniques for autogenous bone graft harvesting, still considered the best choice for facial bone reconstruction, this paper describes an anatomical study on dry skulls in order to evaluate the average thickness of the parietal bone. Material and Methods: Measurements of this bone were taken with a goniometer, at four previously defined points, in the region that is often used as a donor site, in 49 dry skulls (98 parietal bones). The results were evaluated using the T test. Results: Thickness was measured at four predetermined points. The mean values (Point A = 4898mm, B = 4517mm, C = 6185mm, D = 4280mm) show that the bone can be even thinner than previously reported in the literature in other studies of the same nature. The largest bone thickness is in the medial and posterior region. Conclusion: A knowledge of these anatomical characteristics is helpful in preventing possible surgical complications, as well as making it safer for the surgeon to remove this graft and providing more information on whether or not to indicate this region as a bone graft donor site.

O trauma do seio frontal não é raro, correspondendo a 8% das fraturas faciais. Pode afetar a lâmina anterior e/ou posterior, com ou sem envolvimento do ducto nasofrontal. Tem alto potencial para complicações e seu manejo ainda é controvertido em algumas situações. OBJETIVO: Apresentar a epidemiologia, o diagnóstico e tratamento clínico e cirúrgico de 24 pacientes com fratura do seio frontal. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo, não randomizado, de 24 pacientes com fratura de seio frontal operados no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brasil. RESULTADOS: Dos 24 pacientes, 16 tinham fraturas da lâmina externa e 8, da lâmina interna e externa. em 2 casos havia lesão do ducto nasofrontal. Vinte (83,4%) pacientes tiveram fraturas faciais associadas e em 13 (54,2%) foram observadas complicações intracranianas. A incisão em asa de borboleta, abaixo da sobrancelha, foi empregada na maioria dos casos cirúrgicos com bom resultado estético. Fixação dos fragmentos ósseos com diferentes materiais (fio de aço, mononylon, miniplacas de titânio) e, se necessário, reconstrução da tábua anterior com material aloplástico ou osso parietal. CONCLUSÃO: A causa principal das fraturas do seio frontal é acidente com veículos. O tratamento depende de sua complexidade, pois comumente há lesões cranioencefálicas associadas. As técnicas cirúrgicas utilizadas são as incisões, retalho bicoronal ou na sobrancelha, infra-orbital (em asa de borboleta), associadas à cirurgia endoscópica em casos de infecção fístula liquórica e complicações orbitárias.

Foi analisado um total de 249 espécimes das subespécies de Liophis reginae que ocorrem no Brasil (Liophis reginae macrosomus e Liophis reginae semilineatus), com o objetivo de caracterizar morfologicamente os dois táxons e verificar a validade de Liophis oligolepis, táxon considerado sinônimo de Liophis reginae semilineatus. Foram considerados 22 dados merísticos e 18 morfométricos. Os complexos osteológicos e cefálicos, assim como os hemipênis foram analisados comparativamente entre os táxons. Foram identificadas, utilizando MANOVA, diferenças sexuais significativas em variáveis mensuradas da cabeça e do corpo. Uma análise da função discriminante (AFD) foi utilizada em sexos separados para maximizar a separação, num espaço rnultivariado, dos três táxons definidos a priori: Liophis regime semilineatus, Liophis reginae macrosomus e Liophis oligolepis. Os escores dos espécimes machos separaram claramente Liophis reginae semilineatus de Liophis oligolepis no eixo da primeira função discriminante e Liophis reginae semilineatus de Liophis reginae macrosomus na segunda função. Em fêmeas, a primeira função discriminante separou Liophis oligolepis de Liophis reginae semilineatus e Liophis reginae macrosomus. Na AFD de Liophis oligolepis e Liophis reginae semilineatus, considerando os dois sexos juntos, houve uma diferenciação entre os dois táxons na primeira função discriminante. A mesma análise foi feita para Liophis reginae semilineatus e Liophis reginae rnacrosomus, sendo observado uma separação destes táxons na primeira função discriminante. Verificou-se alguns exemplares de Liophis reginae semilineatus e Liophis reginae macrosomus além das áreas de distribuição registradas para essas subespécies. Para verificar se estes e os outros exemplares, ocorrentes nas áreas de distribuição citadas em bibliografia, formavam o mesmo grupo, foi feita uma análise da função discriminante. Os resultados indicam que as novas ocorrências pertencem ao mesmo grupo de espécimes previamente estabelecidos. A morfologia hemipeniana não diferiu entre Liophis reginae semilineatus, Liophis oligolepis e Liophis reginae macrosomus. Os três táxons apresentam crânios semelhantes no aspecto geral, porém existem diferenças, no osso parietal de Liophis reginae semilineatus e Liophis oligolepis. O status taxonômico de Liophis oligolepis foi definido na categoria específica com base nos caracteres meristicos, morfométricos e morfológicos. As subespécies Liophis reginae semilineatus e Liophis reginae macrosomus deverão ser reavaliadas no futuro, para a verificação de seus status. Com a análise de mais exemplares e a inclusão de Liophis reginae regime e Liophis reginae zweiftli nas análises.

This research objective was to verify the tissues reactions obtained, in surgical experimental bone defect, after the etil cyanoacrylate chemical adhesive application in rats parietal bones. 1t was investigated the acceptance or no acceptance of the tissues surround the bone defect in which was placed the etil cyanoacrylate and the control bone defect. The specimens were submitted to light microscopic analysis. 24 adults rats were used (Rattus norvergicus, albinus, Wistar) with the average weight to 300 gr. and were divided in two groups: treated and control. After the bone defects were realized, etil cyanoacrylate was placed over one of the defects at the parietal bone (treated group). On the other defect nothing was placed and it was used like control group. After 24 hours, 3,5,7,30 and sixty days after surgery, for animals of each group were sacrificed. The bone samples were removed and fixed in 10% formalin during 72 hours and analyzed using light microscopy. The results showed that the acute inflammatory responses was more observed at lhe treated group than the control group. The chemical adhesive was observed until 60 days follow the surgery and the tissues around it present normal appearance. The chemical adhesive, etil cyanaocrylate, did not impede at the bone repair process

Abstract : The objective of this study was to evaluate quantitatively and to describe qualitatively the process of bone repair in the interface of receptor bed and graft autogenous bone block with or without a e-PTFE membrane, in osteopenia induced rats. To this end, we used forty-eight Wistar rats weighing about 300g, in which, with the aid of 4.1 mm trephine a graft was removed from the parietal bone and fixed to the surface of the left mandibular ramus. The animals were randomly divided into four experimental groups: Group 1 (n=12): SHAM operated and autogenous bone graft only; Group 2 (n=12): SHAM and autogenous bone graft covered by e-PTFE membrane; Group 3 (n=12): ovariectomized rats (OVX) and autogenous bone graft only; Group 4 (n=12): OVX and autogenous bone graft covered by e-PTFE membrane. The animals in each group were sacrificed at three time periods: 21, 45 and 60 days, each time with 4 animals per group. The specimens were decalcified and included, the sections were stained with HE and subjected to histological and histomorphometric analysis in light microscopy. The results of the ANOVA showed that the variables on the condition (OVZ and SHAM), and the time (21, 45 and 60 days) were statistically significant, and can be established with the Tukey test (5%) that the period 21-day differs significantly from the periods of 45 and 60 days, which did not differ among themselves. The descriptive histological analysis showed integration of the graft in all animals. It was concluded that the initial integration of the graft bed was negatively affected in the presence of induced osteopenia, and that the use or not of a e-PTFE membrane did not interfere in the process of integration

Sensory-motor circuits course through the parietal cortex of the human and monkey brain. How parietal cortex manipulates these signals has been an important question in behavioral neuroscience. This thesis presents experiments that explore the contributions of monkey parietal cortex to sensory-motor processing, with an emphasis on the area's contributions to reaching. First, it is shown that parietal cortex is organized into subregions devoted to specific movements. Area LIP encodes plans to make saccadic eye movements. A nearby area, the parietal reach region (PRR), plans reaches. A series of experiments are then described which explore the contributions of PRR to reach planning. Reach plans are represented in an eye-centered reference frame in PRR. This representation is shown to be stable across eye movements. When a sequence of reaches is planned, only the impending movement is represented in PRR, showing that the area is more related to movement planning than to storing the memory of reach targets. PRR resembles area LIP in each of these properties: the two areas may provide a substrate for hand-eye coordination. These findings yield new perspectives on the functions of the parietal cortex and on the organization of sensory-motor processing in primate brains.

In the last decade, research efforts into directly interfacing with the neurons of individuals with motor deficits have increased. The goal of such research is clear: Enable individuals affected by paralysis or amputation to regain control of their environments by manipulating external devices with thought alone. Though the motor cortices are the usual brain areas upon which neural prosthetics depend, research into the parietal lobe and its subregions, primarily in non-human primates, has uncovered alternative areas that could also benefit neural interfaces. Similar to the motor cortical areas, parietal regions can supply information about the trajectories of movements. In addition, the parietal lobe also contains cognitive signals like movement goals and intentions. But, these areas are also known to be tuned to saccadic eye movements, which could interfere with the function of a prosthetic designed to capture motor intentions only. In this thesis, we develop and examine the functionality of a neural prosthetic with a non-human primate model using the superior parietal lobe to examine the effectiveness of such an interface and the effects of unconstrained eye movements in a task that more closely simulates clinical applications. Additionally, we examine methods for improving usability of such interfaces.

The parietal cortex is also believed to contain neural signals relating to monitoring of the state of the limbs through visual and somatosensory feedback. In one of the world’s first clinical neural prosthetics based on the human parietal lobe, we examine the extent to which feedback regarding the state of a movement effector alters parietal neural signals and what the implications are for motor neural prosthetics and how this informs our understanding of this area of the human brain.
