Authors: Santiago Rejane de Carvalho , Moraes Vardeli Alves de , Almeida Rogério José de
Published: October 2020

Resumo: Introdução: As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) para Graduação em Medicina estabelecem que o curso deve ser centrado no aluno como sujeito da aprendizagem. Devem-se utilizar metodologias que privilegiem a participação do aluno na construção do conhecimento. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender a percepção do aluno de Medicina acerca da metodologia da problematização na unidade Problema Integrador de Competências (PIC) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC Goiás). Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada que se utilizou de um roteiro de temas previamente confeccionado. Entrevistaram-se 30 acadêmicos do primeiro ao décimo segundo módulo sobre a unidade PIC que é desenvolvida por meio da metodologia da problematização com a inserção do arco de Charles Maguerez. Para a análise dos dados, adotou-se Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados ou Grounded Theory. Resultados: Com os resultados obtidos após realização da transcrição e análise das entrevistas, foi possível criar as seguintes categorias explicativas do fenômeno investigado: pontos fortes, frágeis e melhorias; características do aluno e do professor no PIC; contribuições do PIC para formação médica. Por meio da análise das categorias explicativas, evidenciaram-se a eficiência e as contribuições da funcionalidade e aplicabilidade da metodologia da problematização na unidade do PIC. Constatou-se que os discentes que participaram desta pesquisa conseguiram desenvolver habilidades relacionadas à comunicação, pesquisa, resolutividade e proatividade, aprenderam a trabalhar em equipe e ouvir e respeitar a opinião dos colegas, tornaram-se pessoas mais críticas e entenderam a importância de enxergar o paciente de forma holística; todos aspectos imprescindíveis para a formação em Medicina. A partir da percepção dos acadêmicos de Medicina, foi possível evidenciar que a metodologia da problematização inserida no campo da formação médica ainda tem fragilidades tanto na formação do aluno quanto na atuação do professor mediador. Conclusões: Os resultados aqui apresentados poderão servir para que os cursos de Medicina que se utilizam dessa metodologia possam fomentar estratégias que visem à sua correta aplicabilidade.
Food transition in premature newborn children: interfering factors
Authors: Amoris Ellen Viviane do Nascimento , Nascimento Edinalva Neves
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: to check the variables which interfere in the transition from the alternative way of feeding to the beginning of proper oral mode. Methods: 30 preterm newborns from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) participated, with initial weight of 1,500 grams, interned between May and July 2018. The study of the medical records of babies was performed in relation to comorbidities such as length of stay, weight, gestational age, use of mechanical ventilation, as well as quantitative and correlational analysis of the data. Results: among the participants, 27 newborns began being fed in an orogastric manner and three, in a nasogastric way, and in some cases, artificial nipples were used. The average of gestational age coincided with the possibility of the proper via oral feeding. The longest time of transition was exactly with the newborns who had had clinical complications. Conclusion: the clinical complication interfered in the time and prevalence of the alternative way of feeding during the process of food transition which, associated with the use of artificial nipples, may have interfered in the early weaning and in the failure of exclusive breastfeeding.

Authors: Gonçalves Claudia Giglio de Oliveira , Santos Fabiane Rodrigues dos , Schmidt Lucas , Marques Jair Mendes
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize speech-language pathologists/audiologists and their interventions in the occupational health area, regarding the Hearing Prevention Program (HPP). Methods: a cross-sectional, quantitative study with 74 speech-language pathologists/audiologists from several regions of Brazil, working in the areas of Occupational Health and Audiology. The participants answered a questionnaire on their professional and educational profile, as well as on their work related to the HCP components. For data analysis, statistical procedures were used (Chi-Square Test and the test of difference in proportions, at the significance level of 0.05 - 5%), in relation to the variables of gender, age, job position, time since their graduation and academic training in occupational safety and health. Results: the speech-language pathologists/audiologists, mostly women, who reported performing the HPP, were older than 30 years, had specific postgraduate courses, but still had doubts about the Program implementation, they worked for companies with over 1,000 employees, disregarding their employment status, performing interventions, such as: hearing management and guidance on the correct use of ear protectors. Conclusion: a high number of speech-language pathologists in the Occupational Health area have not developed a complete hearing conservation program to this date.

Published: October 2020

Abstract Fish ecomorphology and diet can help us to understand species response to impacts and coexistence patterns. Thus, we developed a comparative analysis of ecomorphology and diet of Inpaichthys kerri and Hyphessobrycon vilmae and tested for environmental variables that explain their abundance in headwater streams. We sampled streams from the Aripuanã River basin, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. We sampled environmental variables following a standardized protocol and used 30 and 80 individuals from each species to obtain ecomorphological attributes and feeding index, respectively. To identify environmental variables that influence species abundance, we developed generalized additive mixed models. Inpaichthys kerri presented broader and deeper caudal peduncles, more dorsal eyes, and larger fins, besides the lower consumption of aquatic insects, algae, and detritus when compared to H. vilmae. Inpaichthys kerri was more abundant in fast waters with little amounts of marginal grasses, conditions associated with more forested streams, while H. vilmae was more in streams with more abundant marginal grasses from pasture. Deforestation in the Aripuanã basin threatens the persistence of I. kerri, since its optimal environmental conditions tend to be replaced by H. vilmae optimal conditions. Natural history helps us to understand species occurrence and represents a substantial contribution for more effective conservation measures.

Abstract Due to the ecological importance of Lophiosilurus alexandri, the present work evaluated its genetic representativeness by comparing wild stocks to broodstocks that were kept at three restocking hatcheries along the São Francisco River. A total of 97 samples were genotyped for newly developed microsatellite markers. Low levels of genetic diversity (average alleles number of 4.2 alleles) were detected in all cases, being more severe in captive groups. Significant pairwise FST and DEST values, Structure, and DAPC analyses showed that wild animals were structured in two groups, and a third group was formed by captive animals, evidencing the need to adopt genetic criteria to retain genetic diversity in the hatcheries. For this reason, three full-sib families were constructed to select the best relatedness estimator for L. alexandri and establish a cut-off value aimed to avoid full-sibling matings in the hatcheries. Two estimators, Wang (RW) and Lynch & Li (RLL), were accurate in reflecting the relatedness level for full-sibs in this species. According to them, less than 50% of the potential breeding matings in the three hatcheries are advisable. The innate low diversity of L. alexandri highlights the importance of minimizing inbreeding and retaining genetic diversity towards the species recovery.

Published: October 2020

Abstract Data on the deep sea fishes found off the northern Brazilian coast are restricted to the results of the surveys of the RV Oregon, a research vessel of the North American National Marine Fisheries Service, and the REVIZEE Program. The REVIZEE Score-Norte Program focused on commercial fish species and natural resources with potential for exploitation on the continental shelf and slope off the northern coast of Brazil. In this sense, the REVIZEE Score-Norte Program generated little information on species of no commercial value, did not catalog its inventory in zoological collections, and did not publish species lists. Given this considerable knowledge gap on the deep-sea fish found off the North coast of Brazil, we compiled all the available data on the deep-sea fish of this region and also retrieved photographic records from the REVIZEE Score-Norte Program, including the PRODEMERSAL and PROTUNA projects. Considering the published records, specimens deposited in zoological collections, and the interpretation of photographic records, we compiled a list of 63 species of deep-sea fish from the North coast of Brazil. An additional 30 species were found in the published records from the PRODEMERSAL and PROTUNA, but were considered to be doubtful or pending confirmation.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the semen characteristics of Astyanax lacustris after hormonal induction and to evaluate the sensitivity of the species sperm to cryoprotective solutions based on the cryoprotectants dimethyl sulfoxide and methyl glycol. Volume, color, sperm concentration, total motility and aspects of sperm movement were analyzed using “Integrated Semen Analysis System”. Three different extenders were tested: A) glucose 5%+egg yolk 10%, B) BTS®5% and C) glucose 5% and two permeable cryoprotectants: dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and methyl glycol (MTG). Fresh A. lacustris semen presented total motility of 76.6±11.2%, motility duration of 33.0±2.2s, sperm concentration of 7.22±3.2×109sptz/mL and seminal osmolality of 219±0.03mOsm/kg-1. The toxicity test showed the highest total motility values at the MTG15%+A, Me2SO15%+B and Me2SO10%+C dilutions, and the Me2SO10%+C and Me2SO15%+C dilutions presented the highest values for curvilinear velocity, linear velocity and average velocity. The tested protocol was not effective at maintaining the viability of A. lacustris semen after freezing because no motility was observed in any of the dilutions. However, the Comet Assay demonstrated that cryoprotectant solutions were effective in protecting the genetic material of cells, as DNA damage levels were low, with no difference between control and Me2SO10% + A, dilutions MTG10%+C, Me2SO10%+B and Me2SO15%+B.

Authors: Ferreira Helen Caroline , Nerbass Fabiana Baggio , Calice-Silva Viviane
Published: October 2020

Abstract Introduction: Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (US-PD) has been used worldwide with very positive results. The prior assessment of candidates for this therapy by a nurse can favor the success of the therapy. Objectives: To identify the profile of patients who are candidates for US-PD, the causes of contraindication of the method by the nurse and their permanence in the method after 30 days, as well as the growth of the service after implementing the program. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the forms used to assess candidates for US-PD applied by nurses between May 2017 and August 2019 in a clinic in Santa Catarina. We analyzed information on demographic profile, reasons for contraindication and permanence in the method after 30 days, as well as service growth after the program was implemented. Results: Of the 215 patients indicated for US-PD, 51% were male, 55% were under 60 years old, 51% had diabetes mellitus and 89% were hypertensive. Of these, 173 (80%) patients had the nurse’s approval for PD. The only cause contraindicated was the inability to self-care associated with the lack of family support. In the first 30 days after the assessment, 89% of the patients who started PD remained on it. During the study period, the PD service grew by 91%. Conclusion: During the study period, a fifth of patients referred to US-PD received contraindication by nursing due to self-care inability associated with the lack of family support. After 30 days, 89% of the patients remained on it.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT This study was carried out with bryophyte populations in order to study the presence of populations and how they change over altitudinal gradients. Mosses were chosen as a model to do this study because they have a high sensitivity to climatic conditions and wide distribution. The western region of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, Boyacá, Colombia has a wide range of climate and ecosystems due to its complex topography. Plots were sampled every 200 m from the peak of Mount Mahoma at 4,200 m a.s.l. south to the Chicamocha River canyon at 1,200 m a.s.l. Diversity and cover are analyzed in each plot from soil, rock and bark substrates. We found 80 species distributed in 29 families, with Pottiaceae and Brachytheciaceae the most diverse families. Ours results show a tendency of the diversity and the coverage to increase with altitude, and we observed five altitudinal belts with three populations defined by mosses species. The Páramo and Superpáramo belts are the richest ones.

Published: October 2020

Abstract: Seed priming with salicylic acid (SA) has been described as a method with potential to improve seed germination under unfavorable conditions. The present study aimed to evaluate the ability of seed priming with SA to attenuate the impact of water restriction during germination and early seedling growth of tomato. Seeds were subjected to different concentrations of SA (0, 25 and 50 µM) and sowed on substrates at different percentages of the water holding capacity (20, 30, 40 and 100%). The following variables were evaluated: germination, first count of germination, germination speed index, shoots/root length and dry mass, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activities, contents of hydrogen peroxide and of malondialdehyde. Water restriction significantly decreased the variables related to germination and seedling performance. Despite increasing germination speed and seedling development when combined with well-irrigated conditions, priming with SA negatively impacted those characteristics under water deficit conditions. That was through increases in superoxide dismutase activity and H2O2 accumulation. Thus, it was concluded that seed priming with SA does not improve tomato seed germination and early seedling growth under water deficit.

Published: October 2020

Abstract: Studies on seeds ecophysiology are important to understanding of adaptation mechanisms and of species´ tolerance limits to natural conditions, because determine the potential of use in recovery plans of degraded areas. The aim of this study was to characterize and assess the effect of different temperatures, methods of dormancy overcoming and water and salt stresses on the germination of Senna uniflora. Imbibition curve and germination assay were conducted to assess the effect of temperature regimes (20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C, 40 °C and 20-30 °C), of methods of overcoming dormancy (without scarification, mechanical scarification, chemical scarification and thermal scarification) and of water and salt stresses at the osmotic potentials (0.0; -0.2; -0.4 and -0.8 MPa) . The assessed variables were germination, germination speed index and average germination time. Methods of mechanical and chemical scarification for 5, 15 and 30 min were efficient to overcome physical dormancy, especially on constant temperature regimes of 25 °C and 30 °C and alternated 20-30 °C. Submitted to conditions of water and salt stresses, seeds germination was reduced with the increase of the osmotic potential, being -0.8 MPa the germination minimum limit, in addition, seeds were more sensitive to water stress than to salt stress.

ABSTRACT Objective To correlate chronic low back pain with female sexual function. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. Thirty-two women aged between 18 and 44 years old, with body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 kg/m2 and 29.9 kg/m2, with a medical diagnosis of chronic low back pain and sexually active in the last six months were selected. The patients underwent a physical therapy evaluation and responded to two questionnaires: the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and the Female Sexual Quotient (QS-F). Pearson’s correlation test was used to assess the impact of chronic low back pain on sexual activity. Results The mean age was 30.31 years old (±.7.10) and the mean BMI was 24.54 Kg/m2 (±3.06). The mean Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire score was 5.2 ( ± 3.28), indicating that the patients did not have significant disability. The mean QS-F score was 60.37 (±14.48), classified as “unfavorable to normal”. The correlation test showed a low correlation between chronic low back pain and female sexual function (r = 0.027). Conclusion There was a low correlation between chronic low back pain and female sexual function in the study population, but the moderate correlation between the “comfort” domain and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire score was significant.

ABSTRACT Objectives To present a series of aggressive hemangiomas of the institution, with a review of the management options described in the literature. Methods This is a retrospective survey of aggressive vertebral hemangiomas treated by the service in the last 10 years, with histological confirmation of the diagnosis and a minimum follow-up of 1 year. The case analysis and literature review were conducted with emphasis on treatment options for these injuries. Results Seven cases were found, three with pain and four with severe neurological deficits. Two patients were treated with open decompression, one with open decompression and cementation, one with open decompression and arthrodesis, one with biopsy and cementation, one with percutaneous biopsy, and one with open biopsy followed by decompression surgery. All patients underwent radiotherapy. There was a significant regression of presentation deficits, but one patient developed an irreversible deficit during treatment. There were no recurrences or late complications in the follow-up period. Conclusions Surgical decompression in patients with significant neurological deficit is a point of consensus in the literature. Subtotal resection followed by radiation therapy was effective in treating deficits and controlling pathology. Cases manifesting pain only can be managed with minimally invasive techniques, whether or not they are followed by radiotherapy. Level of evidence IV; Therapeutic study of case series.

ABSTRACT Objective To present a new principle for correction of the sagittal plane of the spine through the convergent or divergent placement of monoaxial pedicle screws in this plane, associated with compression or distraction, to provide lordotizing or kyphotizing leverage force. Method A statistical mechanical study of twenty-eight fixations in synthetic spine segments was performed. In fifteen pieces, pedicle screws were applied to the ends of the segments with positioning convergent to the center of the fixation. They were attached to the straight rods and subjected to compression force. The other thirteen segments were fixed with pedicle screws in a direction divergent to the center of the fixation, attached to the straight rods, and subjected to distraction force. Results To create kyphosis in the 15 synthetic segments of the spine, the mean pre-fixation Cobb angle was - 0.7° and the mean post-fixation angle was +15°. To create lordosis in the 13 segments, the mean pre-fixation Cobb angle was +1° and the mean post-fixation angle was +18°. The difference was confirmed by statistical mechanical tests and considered significant. However, there is no relevant difference between the mean angles for lordosis and kyphosis formation. Conclusions It was concluded that the correction of the sagittal plane of the spine by applying the new instrumentation method is efficient. A statistical mechanical test confirmed that the difference in Cobb degrees between pre- and post-fixation of the synthetic spine segments was considered significant in the creation of both kyphosis and lordosis.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Herbert von Luschka, a German anatomist, was the first to describe the developmental changes in the anatomical structures of the cervical spine. Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) represents a collection of pathological entities that cause compression of the cervical spinal cord, resulting in a clinical syndrome typified by spasticity, hyperreflexia, pathologic reflexes, finger/hand clumsiness, gait disturbance and sphincter dysfunction. In the cervical spine, certain patients are more likely to have myelopathy due to a congenitally narrowed cervical spine canal. Degenerative changes are more common at C5 and C6 or C6 and C7 due to the increased motion at these levels. Additional contributors to canal narrowing are infolding of the ligamentum flavum, olisthesis, osteophytes, and facet hypertrophy. Myelopathy will develop in approximately 100% of patients with canal stenosis greater than 60% (less than 6 mm sagittal disc cord space). Classically it has an insidious onset, progressing in a stepwise manner with functional decline. Without treatment, patients may progress toward significant paralysis and loss of function. Treatment requires surgery with either anterior or posterior decompression of the area of narrowing, and probable fusion. Factors of a poor prognosis include symptoms lasting for more than 18 months, increased range of motion in the cervical spine, and female gender. In this study, we give an overview of the state-of-the-art in DCM, with a focus on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, imaging evaluation, natural history, treatment options and complications.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies and their associated factors among goats in farms from the Paraná state, South Brazil. The serological analysis was performed by indirect ELISA on 629 goat serum samples collected from 32 farms distributed in five mesorregions from the state. Seropositivity was observed in 30.7% of the animals for T. gondii, 6.3% for N. caninum, and 3.0% for both agents. Final multiple regression models showed that the use of assisted reproduction decreased the chance of seropositivity for T. gondii (PR=0.70) and the slaughtering site on the farm (PR=2.03) increased it. To N. caninum, the supplying concentrated feed to animals (OR=4.80) and animal pre-weaning death (OR=9.96) increased the chance of seropositivity. The variables associated with these seropositivities suggest deficiencies in sanitation and reproductive management. In addition, it recognizes critical points of infection for animal production management.

Abstract A severe outbreak of diarrhea associated with poor growth was reported in ten newly weaned goat kids that originated from a research farm (Group A). Two of these kids underwent necropsy examination. Five goat kids of the same age maintained in the same pen showed no clinical signs (Group B). The clinical, gross pathological and histopathological features of the clinically sick animals were consistent with severe coccidiosis. Group A animals had significantly lower levels of serum vitamin B12 (<200 pg/ml) compared with group B animals (2000 pg/ml). In addition, kids belonging to group A had significantly higher Eimeria arloingi oocysts per gram (OPG) of faeces (101,400/g) compared with kids of group B (9,154/g). Microscopy and molecular tools (18S rRNA and COI genes) confirmed that the goat kids were infected with the caprine protozoan parasite E. arloingi. This study provides a definitive association between low levels of serum vitamin B12 and clinical E. arloingi infection, and also provides support to our previous studies that demonstrated how low levels of serum vitamin B12 leads to an impairment of neutrophil function and thereby potential lowered immunity to pathogens.

Abstract There is great diversity in swine coccidia, which are responsible for causing intestinal disorders ranging from sporadic diarrhea to severe cases of hemorrhagic enteritis. Thus, determining the species of coccidia that affect the animals of a region and associating them with the characteristics of the farms become extremely important. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of coccidia parasites in pigs reared in a family farming production system in the Semiarid Region of the State of Paraíba, Northeast Brazil. Fecal samples for analysis were collected from 187 pigs on 51 farms. For morphological analysis, 1,590 sporulated oocysts were used. The prevalence of oocysts in fecal samples was 56.6% (106/187). The most prevalent species were Eimeria suis (21.9%), followed by Eimeria neodebliecki (16.6%), Eimeria perminuta (14.9%), Eimeria polita (12.8%), Eimeria debliecki (10.6%), Eimeria porci (10.1%), Cystoisospora suis (3.7%), Eimeria scabra (1.6%) and Eimeria cerdonis (0.5%). It can be concluded that pigs from the Semiarid Region of the State of Paraíba were parasitized by a diversity of coccidia species, mainly of the genus Eimeria, and predominantly presented with mixed infections occurring in the subclinical form.

Abstract Aim The aim was to analyze the incidence of microplastics in the diet of fish in the middle Uruguay River. Methods The present work analyzed the gastrointestinal content of two species: Astyanax lacustris and Iheringichthys labrosus. Results This study provides the first evidence of synthetic materials, such as fibres and plastics in the gastrointestinal tract of fish species in the Middle Uruguay River basin. A sample of sixty-one A. lacustris and twenty-nine I. labrosus were examined to highlight the ingestion of microplastics in the middle section of the Uruguay River in Brazil. In the A. lacustris, eleven fibres and two fragments were found in their gastrointestinal contents, corresponding to 18.1% of the specimens, while in the I. labrosus, twelve fibres and one fragment were found, corresponding to 34.5% of the specimens analyzed. Blue staining was also prevalent in the occurrence of microplastics. Conclusions These data are the first record of microplastics in this zone and represent a baseline for this contamination for future studies.

Abstract Aim We evaluated the effect of the presence of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. (Rhamnaceae) in riparian zones on the organic matter dynamics of small subtropical streams. Methods We conducted this study in three subtropical Atlantic Forest streams with different densities of H. dulcis in riparian vegetation located in southern Brazil. In each stream, we quantified the input of allochthonous organic matter for one year using buckets (area: 0.04 m2/bucket) suspended about 1 m from the streambed in three different sections (15 buckets/stretch = 45 buckets/stream). Monthly, the plant material retained in the buckets was collected individually, dried (40±5 °C/72 h), identified (native litter together and H. dulcis litter alone) and weighed. Results The largest input of native organic matter occurred during the winter months (~55 g.m-2), ranging from ~31 g.m-2 (summer) to ~46 g.m-2 (spring) over the year. The input of H. dulcis organic matter was concentrated in the autumn (~56 g.m-2) and summer (~28 g.m-2), being scarce in the other seasons (~3 g.m-2 in the spring and winter). Only the contribution of native organic matter was associated with precipitation. Contrary to that observed with native vegetation (input of organic matter related with rainfall), H. dulcis input was related to the phenology of the species, which is deciduous, with leaf fall strongly marked, occurring especially during the autumn. Conclusions When present at high densities (dominant), the presence of H. dulcis in riparian stream vegetation makes the supply of allochthonous plant resources scarce at some periods of the year, altering the energy availability in these ecosystems and, potentially, the functioning of subtropical streams.

DOI:10.17014/ijog.7.2.105-119This paper comprehensively discusses overpressuring in the North Sumatra Basin by using wireline log, drilling events and parameters, and clay mineralogical data. It shows an interesting phenomenon related to overpressuring in this basin, i.e. strong log reversals indicating high overpressure, yet the mudweight used during drilling was relatively low, indicating low overpressure with no significant drilling events noted in the final well report.The result of the study shows that wireline log is the best parameter to imply overpressure magnitude. Regarding low mudweight in the strong log reversal zone, it would be elucidated that the drilling in that zone was in underbalance condition with respect to shale pressure, but not to sandstone pressure. The sandstone pressure is interpreted to be lower than shale pressure due to lateral drainage process. By applying the Eaton’s method, the estimated maximum overpressure magnitude in the Baong Formation is in the range of 1,594 - 3,185 psi. or equivalent to the mudweight of 1.61 - 192 g/cm3. The analysis of wireline log in combination with clay mineralogical data shows that there are two compaction lines in the studied area, i.e. smectitic and illitic compaction lines. The cross-plot of density and sonic logs in shale section suggest that the cause of overpressure was loading mechanism. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image confirms that in overpressure zone, grain to grain contact is still able to be observed fairly well, inferring that loading mechanism is really the cause of overpressure in the studied area.

Introduction: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is one of the main causes of low back pain (LBP). Standardized diagnostic algorithms for adequate estimation and classification of changes of lumbar discs are mandatory before starting with therapy.Methods: One hundred patients who were indicated for lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included in the study. Pfirrmann grading system was used for the determination of IDD, while the visual analog scale (VAS) is used for evaluation of the intensity of LBP. To quantification of disability for LBP, we used the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).Result: Results showed higher Pfirrmann grades II and III for L2/L3 and L3/L4 lumbar levels and lower scores at L4/L5 and L5/S1. The analysis also showed low scores at the L2/3 and L3/4 lumbar level for Pfirrmann grades IV and V, and there was an increased at more inferior lumbosacral levels L4/5 and L5/S1. There was a significant correlation between Pfirrmann grades and ODI (p = 0.24) as well as VAS (p = 0.16).Conclusion: Higher Pfirrmann grades correlated with increased ODI and VAS. Therefore, MRI can be used as a strong indicator of clinical appearance, but it is important to take into consideration that LBP should be correlated with clinical features. By summing Pfirrmann grades of all lumbar intervertebral levels in each patient, we can get more accurate insight for the status of the lumbar spine.

Published: October 2020

The work is devoted to the use of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis for producing aluminum-manganese alloy in the MnО3 AI system. The experiment was carried out in a specially designed SHS reactor at various pressures with and without preliminary heating. The synthesized samples were studied by X-ray diffraction, metallographic, and X-ray spectral analysis; compression tests were performed. X-ray powder diffraction data showed the presence of intermetallic compounds of different stoichiometries: Al8Mn5, Al11Mn4, and Al6Mn. It was established that the main phase is the Al8Mn5 intermetallic compound. The structure of the sample has a needle structure. The alloy has a high hardness of structural components: from 624 HV to 934 HV.

High compressive strength and high hardness are evidence that the synthesized alloy is a direct competitor to hard alloys.

Periodontal diseases- A brief review
Authors: Dubey Pragati , Mittal Neelam
Published: October 2020

Periodontal diseases consists of a wide range of inflammatory conditions which causes degeneration of Periodontium and affects all supporting structures of teeth such as gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone etc. followed by teeth loss. WHO had reported about 10-15% of the world population is suffering from severe periodontal condition. It is complex infectious disease caused by aggressive microbial growth on teeth. The main aim of this study is to provide systemic update on periodontal disease regarding its stages, occurrence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and management. The pathophysiology of periodontal disease is associated with dental plaque, microbial biofilm formation and immunogenicity of the host cell. The severity of this disease depends upon risk factors and chronological stages. Prevention is attained by daily maintenance of oral hygiene. Various surgical and non-surgical treatments are available to control the formation of microbial biofilm. Daily maintenance and periodic management of this disease control worsening of condition and shows definite improvement in oral health.

The oral environment is highly altered when a removable dental prosthesis is inserted. This further causes adverse effects on the integrity of the oral tissues. A rough surface on a denture may cause mechanical irritation resulting in a mucosal reaction, surface irregularities or porosities may result in accumulation of microbial plaque on the dentures, sometimes the constituents of the dental materials itself may induce an allergic reaction. A constant pressure on the bony ridge results in residual ridge resorption. Wearing complete denture significantly alter the masticatory function, indirectly resulting in nutritional deficiency. The sequelae of wearing complete denture reaction may be a direct or an indirect one.
