O Colégio de Dão José: a educação feminina católica no nordeste oitocentista
Authors: Farias Genilson de Azevedo , Medeiros Neta Olivia Morais de
Published: May 2022

A partir de meados do século XIX o Brasil começou a receber nas suas principais cidades muitas escolas europeias. Uma grande parte delas era destinada ao ensino de meninas abastadas. Entre estas escolas, destacamos o Colégio de São José que tinha origem italiana sendo vinculado à ordem das irmãs doroteias que chegou a cidade do Recife, em 1886, se instalando no bairro da Soledade. Foi no âmbito desta instituição que a escritora potiguar Magdalena Antunes (1880-1959) estudou nos seus anos de juventude, entre os anos de 1891 a 1896. Em seus anos de maturidade ela escreveu uma obra de cunho memorialístico e autobiográfico intitulada “Oiteiro: memórias de uma Sinhá-moça” (2003) onde, entre outros detalhes de sua vida de menina filha de senhores de engenho, Magdalena trouxe para as páginas de seu livro registros do momento em que ficou internada como aluna no referido colégio. O Colégio de São José evidenciava um padrão de educação feminina idealizado pela sociedade patriarcal de então, todavia, por outra via, ele possibilitava às meninas e moças abastadas o acesso ao aprendizado formal numa época em que o analfabetismo no Brasil era bastante forte, sobretudo entre as mulheres. Dessa forma, a partir de uma perspectiva metodológica interdisciplinar de análise bibliográfica e documental o nosso trabalho tem por objetivo trazer alguns aspectos da história desta instituição de ensino tomando por fonte o livro de memórias acima citado em diálogo com outras fontes igualmente importantes tais como: os livros de matrícula (1866-1919) e os Estatutos do Colégio.

Published: May 2022

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic intestinal failure (IF) which warrants long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). Despite the common use of PN, there has been few literature on PN use for IF patients since before pregnancy. Our patient was diagnosed with gangrenous bowel secondary to congenital malrotation in 2015. Extensive bowel resection resulted in SBS requiring lifelong home PN. In February 2020, patient discovered her pregnancy and PN pharmacists were informed. Energy from PN was increased with addition of multivitamins, trace elements (TEs) and electrolytes tailored to weekly blood results. At gestation week 34, 24-hour urine urea test showed positive nitrogen balance of +3g/day, demonstrating adequate supply from PN. At gestation week 37, a small-for-gestational-age female infant was delivered via spontaneous labour. Apgar score demonstrated excellent condition and the infant managed to thrive subsequently. Patient’s pre-pregnancy underweight status and insufficient weight gain throughout pregnancy are believed to have put her at higher risk for low-birth-weight infant. Vitamins and TEs supplementation generally met the recommendation for pregnancy, which is however established for oral/enteral intake. This case report proved that successful pregnancy is possible in SBS patients on HPN with close monitoring and effective communication with patient.

Published: May 2022

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018 at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Kaul (Kaithal) to study the effect of planting geometry and nitrogen levels on growth and yield attributes of scented rice variety Pusa 1121. The experiment was conducted with three planting geometry in main plots and five nitrogen levels in sub plots using split plot design with four replications. Results showed that planting geometry did not have any significant effect on plant height even at all the growth stages. However, narrow planting geometry of 20 cm x 15 cm recorded significantly higher number of tillers m-2 (309) at peak tillering, dry matter accumulation and crop growth rate at various growth stages. The same planting geometry recorded significantly higher number of effective tillers m-2 (273), grain yield (4.4 t ha-1 ) and straw yield (5.9 t ha-1 ). Whereas, wider planting geometry of 30 cm x 20 cm recorded significantly higher number of grains per panicle (107). Test weight and harvest index did not show any significant difference among planting geometries. The treatment imposing with 120 kg N ha-1 was significantly superior to other treatments with regards to plant height, number of tillers m-2 (311), dry matter accumulation and crop growth rate at various growth stages. The same treatment also showed significantly superior response with regard to number of effective tillers m-2 (303), number of grains per panicle (115), test weight (25.8 g), grain yield (4.5 t ha-1 ) and straw yield (5.8 t ha-1).

Published: May 2022

A field experiment was conducted at RARS Nandyal during Kharif season of 2017 to study the precision nitrogen management in rice crop, grown under conservation agriculture. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with seven treatments (absolute control, recommended dose of fertilizers (100% RDF), STBF, precision N management practices like green seeker, LCC, SPAD) in vertisols. Amongst tested N management strategies; a saving of N by 45 and 20 kg with green seeker, LCC and SPAD, respectively was found compared to recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF). There was no significant difference between any treatment for yield attributes like plant height, production tillers per hill , panicle length and grains per panicle. Among all the treatments, Green Seeker directed N application recorded highest grain (5.5 t ha-1) and straw yield (8.4 t ha-1) compared to all the treatments followed by LCC based N application (5.2 t ha-1). By using Green seeker 45 kg N ha-1 was minimized as compared to RDN. Benefit cost ratio was found to be highest (2.76) with Green seeker which also was statistically at par with LCC (2.45) and SPAD (2.32) and lowest with control (0.72).

Published: May 2022

Conventional fertilizer application techniques are resulting in seriously overdosing of chemical fertilizers which has become evident through the phenomenon of eutrophication, volatilization, leaching, release of nitrous oxides and thus being the greenhouse gases, contribute to the global warming. Nanotechnology is a promising field of research which has the potential to offer sustainable remedies to pressing challenge scon fronted to modern intensive agriculture. Nanofertilizers hold potential to fulfill plant nutrition requirements along with imparting sustainability to crop production systems and that too without compromising the crops yield. The results of 187 trials conducted on farmers’ fields with potato have proved that the quantity of urea being applied by the farmers to supply nitrogen to the crop can be successfully reduced to half. The yields obtained with 50% less nitrogen as compared to FFP and applying 2 sprays of nano-nitrogen in standing crops gave yields higher than FFP in most of these trials. This paper describes the results of 187 on-farm trials conducted on potato during winter season of 2019-20 in Uttar Pradesh.

Abstract. The reason for this study was the lack of literature data on the quercetin effect on endogenous cardiovascular risk factors and ageing biomarkers in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). The results of this study showed that quercetin has a favourable corrective effect on endogenous cardiovascular risk factors in elderly patients with MS, quercetin course increases the resistance of the elderly to the effects of hypoxia, long-term quercetin use (within 3 months) leads to lengthening of telomeres and a decrease in metabolic age, which indicates the presence of a geroprotective effect. The obtained results of the quercetin course application influence on the telomere length show the expediency of continuing the study of this drug as an effective geroprotective agent.

Distribution of recent ostracods near the Ombrone River mouth (Northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)
Authors: Frezza Virgilio , Di Bella Letizia
Published: May 2022

Ostracod assemblages of 52 samples, collected between 15 and 50m water depth on the Southern Tuscany continental shelf (Northern Tyrrhenian Sea), were analysed. A total of 68 species and 39 genera was determined. Q-mode cluster analysis performed on the 22 most abundant species (>5% in at least one sample) led to identification of clusters (and subclusters) corresponding to four distinct ostracod assemblages. The first assemblage is characterised by the high dominance of Cytheridea neapolitana and is probably linked to an organic matter enrichment, in silty clay bottom; the other three assemblages are more diversified and are dominated, with lower percentages, by species typical of infralittoral and circalittoral environments: C. neapolitana, Cytheropteron ruggierii and Loxoconcha subrugosa assemblage (on silty clay sediments), Pontocythere turbida assemblage (silty sand and silty clay substrates) and Loxoconcha ovulata assemblage (sandy clay and vegetated bottoms). The distribution of ostracod assemblages shows a good correlation with the benthic foraminiferal assemblages founded in the investigated area. Nevertheless, the recognised low diversity can be related to an organic matter enrichment.

Published: May 2022

We investigated benthic foraminifera in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean at the Integrated OceanDrilling Program Site U1334 (~3580 to 3650m paleo-depth) during a time interval of ~33.2–31.9Ma, which is characterized by paleoceanographic changes after the “overshoot” associated with the Antarctic glaciation across the Eocene-Oligocene transition. Correlation between MDS axis 1 (faunal composition of benthic foraminifera) and the fragmentation rate of planktonic foraminifera was positive. MDS axis 1 was also positively correlatedwith the d13C values of benthic foraminifera at Site 1218. The positive correlation between the benthic foraminiferal d13C values at Site 1218 and the fragmentation rate at Site U1334 did not correspond to the general relationship between the benthic foraminiferal d13C values and carbonate corrosivity. Transient common occurrence and subsequent gradual decrease of Astrononion echnolsi, a characteristic species of MDS axis 1 that appeared to expand temporarily from the Southern Ocean to the abyssal Pacific, occurred abundantly during ~33.2–31.9Ma. The similarities among MDS axis 1, the fragmentation rate and the benthic foraminiferal d13C values were likely explained by the heterogeneity in carbonate corrosivity changes, associated with different extent of export production in the Southern Ocean compared to other oceans after the Oi-1 Antarctic glaciation. Such heterogeneity might result from the transient expansion of the Southern Ocean deep water into the abyssal Pacific during the earliest Oligocene.
Trigonium curvatus sp. nov. and Trigonium arcticum (Bacillariophyceae) from the surface sediments of Prydz Bay, East Antarctica
Authors: Nair Abhilash , Mohan Rahul , Shetye Suhas , Gazi Shina , Jafar Syed A.
Published: May 2022

Here we propose a new species of genus Trigonium namely Trigonium curvatus from the surface sediments of coastal Antarctica. A comparative study was done between Trigonium curvatus and Trigonium arcticum to find out the differential morphological characters. Trigonium curvatus is differentiated from the earlier described Trigonium arcticum on the basis of valvemorphology such as the presence of clustered rimoportulae at centre of the valve, concave sides of the valve, smaller areolae, constricted structure of areolae and fewer pores surrounding areolae. On the contrary, in Trigonium arcticum rimoportulae are absent or inconspicuous, sides of the frustules are convex/straight and it has larger areolae which appear to be flattened with more pores encircling it. Both species show basic resemblance to genus Trigonium such as triangular valve structure, centrally radiating areolae and valve apices comprised of pseudocelli. Hence, it is proposed that Trigonium curvatus is different from the originally described Trigonium arcticum and is a new species of genus Trigonium.

Authors: Aljahdali Mohammed , Wise Sherwood W. , Bergen James E. , Pospichal James J.
Published: May 2022

Sphenolithus avis n. sp. is a new calcareous nannofossil species described in materials recovered from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) sites in the equatorial region. Sphenolithus avis n. sp. is small to medium size with a short tapered apical spine and a large flaring proximal cycle. Its stratigraphic range spans Martini Zones NP23 to NP25, and it is widely distributed in three different equatorial regions, ranging from marginal to deep-sea locations. Because of its relatively short range and global distribution, S. avis n. sp. is a potential secondary Sphenolithus zonal marker in the upper Oligocene.
Upper Cretaceous agglutinated foraminifera from a red sediment interval in the southern Norwegian Sea
Authors: Setoyama Eiichi , Kaminski Michael A.
Published: May 2022

Foraminiferal assemblages from a red sediment interval of the uppermost Santonian–middle Campanian Nise Formation, offshore Norway were examined for taxonomy and their paleoenvironmental implications using morphogroup analysis. The relatively highly diversified assemblages are composed only of deep-water agglutinated forms, and in total 61 taxa were identified. The taxonomic and morphogroup composition of the assemblages resemble both the slope flysch-type biofacies in containing robust tubular forms and rzehakinids, and assemblages described from Cretaceous Oceanic Red Beds (CORBs) in the North Atlantic and the Carpathians in the high abundance of infaunal forms in supposedly environments with low flux of organic matter. The intermediate nature of the assemblages in the red sediment interval is probably related to the shallower bathyal depositional settings and higher flux of organic matter due to the proximity to land in a narrow seaway inferred frommorphogroup analysis than abyssal settings of other CORBs. The foraminifera from the red sediment may be regarded as the background deep-water assemblage which reflectswell-oxygenated and low-nutrient environments only with small terrigenous input in the Norwegian Sea which was tectonically active during the Cretaceous.

A Systematic Literature Review of Lexical Analyzer Implementation Techniques in Compiler Design
Authors: Pai T Vaikunta , Jayanthila Devi A. , Aithal P. S.
Published: May 2022

The term “lexical” in lexical analysis process of the compilation is derived from the word “lexeme”, which is the basic conceptual unit of the linguistic morphological study. In computer science, lexical analysis, also referred to as lexing, scanning or tokenization, is the process of transforming the string of characters in source program to a stream of tokens, where the token is a string with a designated and identified meaning. It is the first phase of a two-step compilation processing model known as the analysis stage of compilation process used by compiler to understand the input source program. The objective is to convert character streams into words and recognize its token type. The generated stream of tokens is then used by the parser to determine the syntax of the source program. A program in compilation phase that performs a lexical analysis process is termed as lexical analyzer, lexer, scanner or tokenizer. Lexical analyzer is used in various computer science applications, such as word processing,information retrieval systems, pattern recognition systems and language-processing systems. However, the scope of our review study is related to language processing. Various tools are used for automatic generation of tokens and are more suitable for sequential execution of the process. Recent advances in multi-core architecture systems have led to the need to re-engineer the compilation process to integrate the multi-core architecture. By parallelization in the recognition of tokens in multiple cores, multi cores can be used optimally, thus reducing compilation time. To attain parallelism in tokenizationon multi-core machines, the lexical analyzer phase of compilation needs to be restructured to accommodate the multi-core architecture and by exploiting the language constructs which can run parallel and the concept of processor affinity. This paper provides a systematic analysis of literature to discuss emerging approaches and issues related to lexical analyzer implementation and the adoption of improved methodologies. This has been achieved by reviewing 30 published articles on the implementation of lexical analyzers. The results of this review indicate various techniques, latest developments, and current approaches for implementing auto generated scanners and hand-crafted scanners. Based on the findings, we draw on the efficacy of lexical analyzer implementation techniques from the results discussed in the selected review studies and the paper provides future research challenges and needs to explore the previously under-researched areas for scanner implementation processes.

Thirty (30) samples, five (5) each were randomly collected from different environs within Abraka and Eku metropolis between the months of February and March, 2020. Standard microbiological procedures and biochemical techniques were conducted for the isolation, characterization and identification of bacterial isolates. Fungal isolations were done by microscopic and macroscopic examinations. The result findings of the total bacterial counts was observed to range from 3.7 ± 0.34 to 5.7 ± 0.32 ×103CFU/ml for sampled water obtained from Okomuku and Okurekpo respectively. Also, the counts of coliform and fungi ranged from 1.0± 0.42 to 4.4 ± 0.26 × 103 CFU/ml; 2.6 ± 0.18 to 4.7 ± 0.26 × 103CFU/ml respectively. Ten (10)species of bacteria were identified which includes: Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., Klebsiella sp., Shigella sp., Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Micrococcus sp., Proteus sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Enterococcus sp. While the identified fungi include: Rhizopus sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium sp. The result of percentage prevalence of bacterial species showed that Escherichia coli (22.2%) had the highest occurrence, while Proteus sp. (7.9%) and Enterococcus sp. (7.9%) were the least dominant isolates. Whereas, in fungal isolation, Aspergillus fumigatus (25%) was the most dominant compared to Rhizopus sp. (21.4%) and Penicillum sp. (17.8%) which followed in order of dominance. Virtually all antibiotics were observed to be susceptible to the Gram negative and positive bacterial isolates especially Ciprofloxacin (83%) and Chloramphenicol (100%). Results of the physicochemical properties and heavy metal ion compositions fell within the allowable limit set-up by the World Health Organization. However, the high contamination by microbes as revealed in the study could cause water-borne diseases and infections to consumers if not properly treated.

Published: May 2022

Com o advento da literatura digital, produzida e fruída em ambiente digital, pululam inquietações, mormente pela ausência de tradição crítico-pedagógica e por certo temor diante dos novos objetos, em termos de sonoridades, pictorialidades e interrelações. Certas questões se tornam prementes, no âmbito das materialidades do objeto digital: os procedimentos intermedializantes e seus potenciais significados, a experiência multimediática e os textos teórico-explicativos que, por vezes, os acompanham, aqui denominados de paratextuais. Assim, ao longo do texto, discuto os conceitos de forma, desforma, instalação, interpretação, cânone e tradição, em ligeira visitação ao poema digital “O cosmonauta” de Wilton Azevedo e Alckmar dos Santos.
Web arte no Brasil em tempos pandêmicos
Authors: Oliveira Nunes Fábio
Published: May 2022

Este artigo é baseado em um levantamento inicial acerca de trabalhos de arte e tecnologia criados por artistas brasileiros para a Internet durante a pandemia de COVID-19, entre os anos de 2020 e 2021, buscando contextualizá-los a partir dos campos de significações, especificidades técnicas e conceituais deste meio (NUNES, 2010; 2012) e das circunstâncias geradas a partir da necessidade de isolamento social. Podemos abordar este conjunto de obras brasileiras em web arte a partir de três pontos: dos trabalhos que dialogam diretamente com a crise sanitária, dos trabalhos baseados em mundos virtuais e das possibilidades em redes sociais da Internet. Antes da crise sanitária, esta produção tinha perdido boa parte do seu protagonismo; a pandemia, por sua vez, reacende não só a pertinência desta produção artística, mas também a necessidade de sua preservação.
Notas sobre o papel da evolução técnica na produção e crítica de literatura eletrônica
Authors: Moura Cláudio
Published: May 2022

Este artigo discute o papel, por vezes negligenciado, da evolução técnica no que diz respeito à abordagem tanto de obras quanto de ferramentas ligadas à práxis da Literatura Eletrônica. Para tanto, dialoga com escritos sobre o tema em específico (BARNET, 2013, BARNET; ELDREDGE, 2004, ELDREDGE, 2011) para apontar a possibilidade de uma forma mensurável de aferição dessa evolução e de suas etapas ao longo do tempo por meio da observação da Lei de Moore (MOORE, 1965). A partir daí, tomando como exemplo o software de escrita hipertextual Storyspace (BOLTER; JOYCE, 1987), propõe conceitos tais quais os de contexto tecno-histórico e tecnoanacronia e discute o passível risco que se incorre quando da não-observância de suas premissas durante o exercício crítico acerca dos objetos tecnológicos.
Active shooter mitigation techniques
Authors: Bott, PhD Robert , Frantz, PhD Braiden , Dietz, PhD, PE J. Eric
Published: May 2022

This paper looks at current active shooter mitigation techniques employed by schools throughout the country in an attempt to mitigate casualties during an active shooter event. The researchers modified an existing Columbine High School agent-based model created by Jae Lee, MS, to examine if the introduction of a school resource officer (SRO), concealed carry weapon (CCW) holder, or both would change the outcome of the previous research. RUN.HIDE.FIGHT® scenarios were modeled with the same parameters of the previous work, but now included armed first responders during the incident to assess whether their presence decreased casualties through a reduction in response time. The researchers determined that the addition of either an SRO, CCW holder, or both significantly reduced casualty rates during an active shooter scenario.

Published: May 2022

We searched for the best clinical support for daily practice with twin pregnancies. This retrospective study aim was to determine fetal growth standards separately for the bigger and smaller twin based on the group of potentially healthy neonates.
Data of the live-born twin neonates born between the 25th and 40th week of gestation were collected.
When comparing 50th percentiles for the same gestational period between bigger and smaller twins, the split is always close to 240 grams. The biggest split of the growth curves appears between weeks 31–35. The minimum weight gain for both twins was shown to be similar with ≥120g at weeks 27–24, and ≥140 at weeks 34–37. As compared, the medium fetal mass for summarized 50th centiles of the bigger vs smaller neonates were 2019.5g vs 1858.8g.
Twin growth curves, especially for the bigger and smaller baby should be mandatory for daily clinical use.

A total of 1920 teenagers were included. The average score of IHLQCT was (72.45±8.99). Mixed linear analyses showed that parents' educational level (β=-0.11, 95%CI: -0.19, 0.05), monthly family income (β=0.08, 95%CI:0.02, 0.16), IHLQCT scores (β=0.15, 95%CI: 0.10, 0.23) were associated with the risky dietary behavior patterns in teenagers (all P<0.05). Only child (β=-0.12, 95%CI: -0.35, -0.09), parents' educational level (β=0.49, 95%CI:0.13, 0.95) monthly family income (β=0.14, 95%CI: 0.08, 0.38), IHLQCT scores (β=0.45, 95%CI: 0.24, 0.69) were associated with the protecting dietary behavior patterns (all P<0.05). Only child (β=-0.16, 95%CI: -0.41, -0.07), parents' educational level (β=0.49, 95%CI: 0.11, 0.82) monthly family income (β=0.17, 95%CI: 0.10, 0.41), risky dietary behavior patterns (β=0.34, 95%CI: 0.14, 0.83), protecting dietary behavior patterns (β=0.22, 95%CI: 0.07, 0.51) were associated with the IHLQCT (all P<0.05).

Conclusions

Teenager dietary behavior is closely associated with health literacy. There are differences in the dietary behaviors of teenagers under different family characteristics in China.

INTRODUÇÃO: O Cisto Odontogênico (CO) é uma lesão que acomete os ossos gnáticos, conceitualmente definido como uma concavidade revestida por epitélio pavimentoso estratificado que atua na formação dentária de forma direta ou indireta. Dessa forma, os cistos odontogênicos variam conforme sua localização, comportamento, histogênese e frequência, sendo assim, nem todo CO é tratado utilizando a mesma técnica cirúrgica. OBJETIVO: Apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre o tratamento dos cistos odontogênicos, fazendo um comparativo entre a técnica de marsupialização isolada e seguida de enucleação. MATERIAIL E MÉTODOS: Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados Scielo, Google Acadêmico e LILACS, onde foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: cisto odontogênico, enucleação e marsupialização, entre os anos de 2013 à 2022. RESULTADOS: A marsupialização é uma técnica conservadora, indicada em casos em que há riscos de lesões às estruturas nobres. Consiste na realização de uma grande loja cirúrgica na parede do cisto através de uma incisão circular que depois é suturada na mucosa bucal. A comunicação entre a cavidade oral e o CO permite a redução da pressão interna da cavidade cística e a remoção do conteúdo líquido. Está manobra pode ser feita como tratamento definitivo ou associada a enucleação em um segundo momento cirúrgico. A enucleação consiste na remoção total da lesão cística para exame histopatológico e diagnóstico final da lesão e quando feita como tratamento único, é contraindicada em lesões extensas, pois pode comprometer estruturas anatômicas e dentes. CONCLUSÃO: Por via desta revisão de literatura, é possível concluir que a escolha da técnica cirúrgica varia de acordo com as características de cada CO. A marsupialização nem sempre poderá ser utilizada como tratamento definitivo e deverá ser acompanhada de uma segunda fase cirúrgica. No entanto, nos casos de cistos odontogênicos em que a técnica é executada corretamente, a lesão não apresenta potencial de recidiva e exista colaboração do paciente, a marsupialização isolada possui sucesso.

Introdução: A Síndrome da Angústia Respiratória Aguda (SARA), é um tipo de insuficiência pulmonar que expressa-se sob a forma de agressão pulmonar, como o dano alveolar difuso (DAD) e lesões epiteliais e endoteliais na barreira alvéolo-capilar. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as principais características fisiopatológicas relacionadas à agressão do SARA no sistema respiratório. Material e métodos: O trabalho é uma revisão bibliográfica amparada por artigos em inglês publicados na plataforma PubMed entre os anos de 2019 e 2021. Resultados: A partir das informações obtidas, observa-se que o epitélio alveolar do pulmão é constituído por pneumócitos tipo I e II, tipos celulares que formam um bloqueio impedindo a passagem de pequenas partículas e que têm a capacidade de retirar o excesso de fluido dos espaços alveolares, através de canais de sódio e bombas de Na+/K+ ATPase. Quando há o desenvolvimento de edema (acúmulo de líquido), essas células terão sua função aumentada e mais fluido edematoso será reabsorvido. No SARA, a partir da primeira fase (exsudativa), esse mecanismo de dano alveolar difuso é exacerbado, causando uma inflamação acentuada devido a agressão definitiva das células endoteliais dos vasos e epiteliais dos alvéolos, o que leva a um aumento da permeabilidade celular para a entrada de fluido e seu consequente extravasamento, formando uma membrana hialina, a qual poderá posteriormente desenvolver uma trombose intracapilar, afetando em maior intensidade a oxigenação e consequente ventilação do paciente. Nesse caso, células do sistema imune, como macrófagos alveolares e neutrófilos, são imprescindíveis para que a lesão não evolua para formas mais graves. Após a fase inicial da doença os pneumócitos tipo II podem sofrer hiperplasia e até desenvolver uma fibrose intersticial. No entanto, deve-se salientar que o dano alveolar difuso está presente na metade dos casos, sendo a outra metade afetada por pneumonia aguda e infiltração de células do sistema imune. Conclusão: Conclui-se, a partir do estudo, que a SARA tem, em praticamente metade dos acometimentos, o agravamento por DAD, tendo como característica o aumento da permeabilidade alveolar e consequentes problemas circulatórios e ventilatórios, principalmente.

INTRODUÇÃO: As lesões ulcerativas são de fácil diagnóstico podendo ser representações de manifestações de doenças locais ou sistêmicas. Lesões na cavidade oral são comumente achados em clínicas odontológicas, sendo ocasionados em suma maioria por traumas mecânicos durante o tratamento ortodôntico. Os principais sintomas e queixas incluem a dor e o desconforto da pressão no ligamento periodontal associado à movimentação dentária e o aparecimento de feridas em decorrência da fricção entre os braquetes, fios ortodônticos e tecidos moles. OBJETIVO: Realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema ”Lesões Ulcerativas por Aparatos Ortodônticos”, abordando sua etiologia, diagnóstico e prevalência. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas plataformas Google Acadêmico, Scielo e PubMed, em busca de artigos científicos do presente tema através das seguintes palavras chaves: lesão, úlcera, ortodontia. RESULTADOS: A principal lesão ulcerativa que surge durante um tratamento ortodôntico é a estomatite aftosa, com predileção pelo sexo feminino, podendo ser aguda ou crônica, isolada ou múltipla, associada ou não a condições infecciosas, imunológicas e traumáticas, sobretudo em regiões de dorso da língua e mucosa jugal, no qual a primeira sintomatologia dolorosa pode manifestar-se logo após a instalação do aparelho ortodôntico, mas desaparecer alguns dias depois; sua prevenção se dá através dos hábitos alimentares, evitando comidas de pH ácido ou mecanismos de proteção acopladas ao aparelho como ceras ou a utilização de resina flúida na extremidade final do fio ou do último braquete, tal qual o seu tratamento inclui pomadas orais de ação antiinflamatória como a Omcilon A Orobase. CONCLUSÃO: O tratamento ortodôntico pode induzir o aparecimento de lesões ulcerativas na mucosa oral. Portanto, recomenda-se diagnosticar o mais cedo possível, bem como orientar sobre os cuidados paliativos sobre a higiene bucal e quais fármacos adequados à cada caso clínico, a fim de evitar lesões não traumáticas e fazer com que o paciente compreenda que esses incidentes são consequências naturais desse procedimento e que será um processo de adaptação.

INTRODUÇÃO: A calcificação distrófica, uma condição patológica, é caracterizada pela deposição tecidual local anormal de cristais de hidroxiapatita em tecidos não osteoides lesionados ou necróticos. Isso ocorre por exposição de núcleos primários, aumento local na concentração de fosfato ou cálcio e a remoção de inibidores de calcificação, sem apresentar sinais ou sintomas. É considerado um risco ao afetar o sistema cardiovascular. OBJETIVOS: Elucidar e aprofundar os mecanismos patológicos etiológicos da calcificação distrófica, correlacionando-os com o impacto de sua ocorrência no sistema cardiovascular, de modo a otimizar o diagnóstico clínico visando um tratamento precoce mais específico. METODOLOGIA: A metodologia consistiu em uma revisão literária de artigos publicados nas bases de dados “Pubmed”, “SciElo” e “ScienceDirect”, no período entre 2017 e 2022. Os artigos citados apresentam-se em português e inglês RESULTADOS: Com base nos artigos apurados, foram expostos como a calcificação distrófica apresenta repercussões potencialmente nocivas ao atingir o sistema cardiovascular, principalmente as valvas cardíacas, sendo passível a ocorrência de uma insuficiência valvar e estenose. Ademais, tal patologia intensifica o quadro de pacientes portadores de agravantes prévios como diabetes, doença renal crônica, aterosclerose, assim como aqueles que vivem com alguns fatores de risco, dentre eles o tabagismo e a hipertensão. Tal enfermidade ao manifestar-se como valvar aórtica, é caracterizada por envolver nas grandes artérias a túnica íntima e média nas artérias elásticas, configurando a condição como um preditor de mortalidade e morbidade cardiovascular. Logo, a calcificação da valva aórtica pode se apresentar como uma regurgitação valvar ou estenose, resultando na restrição e disfunção dos folhetos. CONCLUSÃO: Ante a revisão exposta, é possível inferir a problemática da calcificação distrófica e como cada padrão histológico de estudo deve ser avaliado individualmente, afinal cada condição influencia na escolha das técnicas de intervenção (via aberta ou endovascular). Conclui-se, portanto, que apesar de a deposição de cálcio não apresentar demasiados riscos em determinados tecidos e ser inócua na maioria dos casos, quando afeta o sistema vascular, essa condição pode ser significativa para a morbidade cardiovascular e consequente mortalidade.
