The talent management in higher education institutions is complex and embedded in the education and research processes. Knowledge and conscious planning of the interfaces is only possible based on information from a properly functioning quality assurance system. Therefore, in designing, developing, and changing models of quality assurance systems, particular attention should be paid to ensure substantive support for talent management processes. For this reason, talent management cannot be linked to one or another ESG 2015 standards, but must be understood and presented in a complex way, as a whole system. The aim of this study is to explore this complexity, to highlight the links and to suggest possible improvements.

Assessment of Water Quality – A Case Study of Temple Ponds in Kanchipuram
Authors: Meenakshi P. , Ambiga K.
Published: October 2023

Kanchipuram is an ancient city dotted with legendary temples. Temple tanks are water storage structures, and a number of festivals were conducted in pond water. Industries generation and anthropogenic activities create pollution, and a low level of temple pond water, leaving people around the temples facing water scarcity. The research work focused on finding the quality, pollution level of temple pond water, and the nature of its usage. Samples were collected and analyzed in seventeen legendary temple ponds for four years, from January to March. The measured physical and chemical parameters are pH, color, biological oxygen demand, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chloride, sulphate, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, total silica, total nitrogen, ammonical nitrogen, total phosphate, iron, zinc, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and biological parameter total coliform count. The outcomes were associated with BIS Surface Water standards of class C. Heavy metals and other measured parameters are within Class C standard limits. Analyzing the results confirms that pond water is not fit for direct drinking usage. It can be uses for other purposes washing, bathing, holy dip, etc.

Published: October 2023

This study examined the effect of mishandling and vending of used engine oil (UEO) on the environment, health, and urban planning. An evaluation of UEO handling, environmental and public health effects, spatial distribution of UEO vendors and contributing factors to choice of location, and the relationship between the vending location and the contributing factors to the choice of the location was provided. The research adopted multiple approaches including questionnaire administration, interview, observation, and application of a Global Positioning System, Geographic Information System, measuring tape, and a camera. An accidental/snowball sampling technique was viable for the study. Data collected were processed using Microsoft Excel. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used. Results revealed the UEO was acquired from mechanic garages (41%) and stored in plastic containers (74%) until it was completely disposed of (91%). 52% had a hazy knowledge of the environmental effect of UEO, yet 45% rated the extent of its contamination as high. 59% were aware of its potential hazard which can get into the human body through ingestion but did not know it could get into the human body through contact with skin (74%) or breathing (61%). However, 84% wash their hands before a meal, with soap/water (67%), and change clothes after handling the used engine oil (69%). Most of the spots were located within 0-20 meters from the road (11), along the highways, occupying the metalled portion of the road, the road shoulders, setbacks, and walkways, blocking drainages and affecting the visual and aesthetic value of the environment. A larger proportion (40) revealed that visibility/accessibility guided their choice of location. Also, a low correlation coefficient of 0.32 was recorded. The study recommended the promotion of awareness programs, enforcement of environmental regulations, good hygiene practices, enforcement of standards and development regulations, and application of smart technology and big data.

Identification of Aquifer Vulnerability to Pollution Based on GIS in Jekan Raya and Sabangau Districts Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan Province
Authors: Prayetno Prayetno , Segah Hendrik , Tanggara Deddy NSP
Published: October 2023

Groundwater is the main source of needs for living things. Groundwater is stored in aquifer systems contained in the soil. Under certain conditions, aquifers will be very vulnerable to pollution that can be caused by various sources of pollution depending on existing geological conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the vulnerability of aquifers to polluting sources so that they can assist the government in planning and formulating policies related to regional spatial planning. Identification of aquifer vulnerability can be done using the DRASTIC method which is a weighting method of various parameters such as groundwater table depth (D), Rainfall (R), aquifer media (A), soil media (S), Topography (T), Unsaturated zone (I), and hydraulics conductivity (C) and combined with HAI (Human Activity Impact). The weighting results will produce a Static and Dynamic Aquifer Vulnerability Map. The two maps will be stacked with the Spatial Plans of Palangka Raya City so that it is expected to be a consideration for the Palangka Raya City government in the preparation of the next Regional Spatial Planning policy. The results of weighting with the DRASTIC Index and HAI whole Jekan Raya District and Sabangau District, Palangka Raya City are included in a high level of vulnerability which at this level is an area that is very easy to be polluted by all pollutants, so proper handling is needed so that the impact that will be caused is not too high risk for the condition of aquifers in the area.
Analysis of Differences in Cystic Ovarian Neoplasm Volume on Abdomen-Pelvis MRI with Manual Measurement Technique (Linear Measurement) and Active Contour Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) Technique
Authors: Khatamsi Hafsi Afrizun , Sugiyanto Sugiyanto , Budiati Tri Asih
Published: October 2023

MRI image evaluation of cystic ovarian neoplasms was done manually and is generally carried out by Radiologists using a manual technique called linear measurement. This technique has some weaknesses, including being considered a rough calculation estimate because measurements are made on only one largest slice and are vulnerable to subjectivity factors. This research applied a digital image processing program based on Matlab using a segmentation process and active contour Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) in the measurement and calculation of the volume of cystic ovarian neoplasms. Analyze the differences in measurement results and find out which technique is better in the calculation of cystic ovarian neoplasm volume between techniques of linear measurement and techniques of active contour Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG). The research was done with 32 images of abdominal-pelvic MRI images with clinical cystic ovarian neoplasms, and measurements and calculations of the volume of cystic ovarian neoplasms were carried out using the technique linear measurement and active contour Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG). Measurement and calculation are done by Radiologists as an observer with data analysis using statistical processing. Analysis of MRI images of abdominal-pelvic MRI images with clinical cystic ovarian neoplasms using linear measurement and active contour Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) techniques showed a difference with a p-value of 0.004 (p<0.05). The results of measurements using the active contour laplacian of the Gaussian technique are better than the linear measurement, as indicated by the higher mean rank of the active contour laplacian of Gaussian, which was 17.50 (higher than the linear measurement value of 13.50).

Incidencija plućne tromboembolije kod bolesnika podvrgnutih CT pulmonalnoj angiografiji u prvom tromjesečju 2023. godine u KBC Rijeka
Authors: Župan Lucija , Kukuljan Melita , Mršić Ena
Published: October 2023

Cilj: Plućna tromboembolija (PTE) je hitno medicinsko stanje kod kojeg dolazi do okluzije jedne ili više grana plućnih arterija tromboembolusom. CT plućna angiografija (CTPA) je brza, neinvazivna radiološka metoda kojom se postavlja dijagnoza PTE. Glavni cilj ovog rada je odrediti incidenciju pozitivnih PTE nalaza kod 524 pacijenta podvrgnutih CTPA te odrediti učestalost zahvaćenih grana plućnih arterija. Nadalje, jedan od ciljeva je i odrediti incidenciju usputnih nalaza (plućni nodusi, tumor pluća, pneumonija, infarkt pluća, pleuralni izljev). Ispitanici i metode: U ovom retrospektivnom istraživanju prikupljeni su podaci 524 bolesnika koji su zbog sumnje na PTE podvrgnuti CTPA pregledu na Kliničkom zavodu za dijagnostičku i intervencijsku radiologiju, na lokalitetu Sušak, u Kliničkom bolničkom centru (KBC) Rijeka, u razdoblju od siječnja do travnja 2023. godine. Svi potrebni podaci navedeni u nalazu radiologa prikupljeni su iz integriranog bolničkog informacijskog sustava (IBIS) i pripadajuće aplikacije (ISSA). Rezultati: Od ukupno 524 bolesnika podvrgnutih CTPA, PTE je dokazana kod 97 ili 18,51% pacijenata. U našem istraživanju bio je podjednak broj ispitanika muškog i ženskog spola (260 ili 49,62% naprema 264 ili 50,39%). Nešto je veća incidencija PTE bila kod muškaraca (52 ili 53,61%) nego kod žena (45 ili 46,39%). Najveći broj bolesnika (262 ili 50,00%) pripadao je dobnom razredu između 61. i 80. godine života. Usputni nalazi opisani na CTPA, prema redoslijedu učestalosti su bili: pneumonije (37,15%), pleuralni izljevi (34,86%), plućni nodusi (16,79%), tumori pluća (6,87%) i plućni infarkti (4,33%). Zaključak: CT plućna angiografija predstavlja zlatni standard za detekciju plućne tromboembolije. Pregledom dostupne literature, incidencija PTE je komparabilna s rezultatima našeg istraživanja. U našoj, kao i u većini recentnih studija, PTE je najčešće detektirana u segmentalnim i subsegmentalnim granama plućnih arterija, dok se incidencija usputnih nalaza detektiranih na CTPA ne podudara s rezultatima drugih istraživanja.

Evaluation of the buccal bone thickness in the anterior maxillary region using cone-beam computed tomography
Authors: Sağlıklı Ahmet , İpek Fikret
Published: October 2023

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the buccal plate thickness of maxillary anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Methodology: This study involved a retrospective analysis of CBCT images from 104 randomly selected patients aged 20–50 years who had not experienced loss of their maxillary central and lateral incisors and canine teeth. The bone thicknesses of six anterior maxillary teeth were measured at 1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm distances apical to the alveolar bone crest (ABC) and between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and ABC for six anterior maxillary teeth. The association between buccal bone plate width and distance from the CEJ to the ABC was examined across genders and among different age groups.
Results: The mean buccal bone thicknesses were 1.13 mm, 1.22 mm, and 1.04 mm at distances of 1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm, respectively. The mean distance from the CEJ to the ABC was 2.09 mm. A negative correlation was observed between age and the distance from the CEJ to the ABC. No correlation was found between buccal bone thickness and gender, and a negative correlation existed between age and buccal bone thickness. Women displayed a significantly lower distance from the CEJ to the ABC compared to men, and a negative correlation between buccal bone thickness and distance from the CEJ to the ABC was present across all tooth groups.
Conclusion: This study revealed that the bone width in the maxillary anterior region was remarkably thin. Therefore, achieving the minimum bone thickness of 2 mm necessary for optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes is seldom feasible in this area. Considering these findings, additional research utilizing larger patient cohorts is essential to fully comprehend how age and gender affect buccal bone thickness and CEJ-ABC distance. Additionally, utilizing preoperative CBCT for radiographic analysis to identify risk factors and select the appropriate treatment approach is strongly recommended.

Evaluation of the alveolar bone and lingual concavity in the posterior mandibular region based on cone-beam computed tomography data
Authors: Dala Garip , İpek Fikret
Published: October 2023

Aim: The objective of this study is to evaluate the morphology of the alveolar bone in the posterior mandibular region and its relationship with age and sex.
Methodology: In the present study, the reports of 500 patients over 18 years of age who were admitted to our faculty with an existing second premolar and missing first molar and who underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging were randomly selected and retrospectively evaluated. In the study, alveolar crest types, the buccolingual width of the alveolar crest, crest height, lingual concavity depth, and lingual concavity angle were measured.
Results: U-type crest was detected in 47.8% of 500 individuals evaluated using CBCT. The mean depth of the lingual concavities was 2.36 ± 1.11 mm, and the mean angle of the lingual concavities was 61.09 ± 11.33°. No statistically significant relationship was found between age and alveolar crest width, alveolar crest height, lingual concavity depth, and lingual concavity angle. No significant difference was found between genders in terms of lingual concavity depth, whereas alveolar crest width, alveolar crest height, and lingual concavity angle were significantly higher in males.
Conclusion: The alveolar crest height, alveolar crest width, and lingual concavity angle of edentulous crests in the mandibular first molar region were statistically significantly higher in males compared with females. It can be beneficial to evaluate gender-related differences using CBCT to prevent complications before performing implantation and other oral surgical procedures in the related region.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: An increasing number of women and couples need oocyte donation to help achieve pregnancy. Several studies have found a correlation between the use of oocyte donation and adverse obstetrical outcomes such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. A possible additive risk in using double donation (oocyte and sperm donation) compared to the use solely of oocyte donation has been suggested but only sparsely investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in obstetric and neonatal outcomes after double donation compared to oocyte donation.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 197 women, who achieved pregnancy after oocyte donation between 2015 and 2022. The primary outcomes investigated were gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Secondary outcomes were early pregnancy loss, HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelets) syndrome, fetal growth restriction, and gestational diabetes mellitus.Results: No significant differences between the use of oocyte and double donation were observed, when looking at the risk of developing gestational hypertension (AOR = 1.02, 95%CI = [0.33;3.15], P = 0.97) or preeclampsia (AOR = 2.4, 95%CI = [0.68;8.41], P = 0.17). We observed no significant differences between the two groups regarding any of the secondary outcomes.Conclusion: This study did not find an increased risk of obstetrical or neonatal complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, or fetal growth restriction after double donation compared to oocyte donation.

Published: October 2023

O artigo foi produzido a partir dos estudos e análises da pesquisa “Políticas sociais e Prisão: uma avaliação da política de execução penal”, vinculada ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Memória Social. A pesquisa tem o objetivo de avaliar as políticas sociais inseridas no contexto prisional, sendo perpassadas pela concepção de cidadania e, contraditoriamente, pela perspectiva positivista implícita no contexto das prisões. O artigo apresenta uma breve análise das ações educativas desenvolvidas no âmbito prisional e problematiza os limites e desafios da garantia do direito à educação para os sujeitos privados de liberdade. A pesquisa qualitativa foi desenvolvida por meio de uma revisão de literatura e análise dos documentos Modelo de Gestão para a Política Prisional (2016) e o Levantamento Nacional de Informações Penitenciárias (2020). A pesquisa evidencia que as políticas sociais definidas no texto legal da Lei de Execuções Penais representam estratégias de atendimento às necessidades básicas dos presos, no processo de cumprimento da pena, caracterizadas principalmente pela assistência material, jurídica e à saúde. Por outro lado, as políticas sociais no cenário de execução penal efetivam ações e atendimentos necessários à perspectiva de “ressocialização”, “readaptação” e “reinserção social” dos indivíduos privados de liberdade.

In the context of diabetic foot, peripheral neuropathy plays a crucial role. The loss of sensitivity and muscle strength in the feet due to neuropathy increases the risk of ulcers. Additionally, peripheral vascular disease and immunodeficiency are risk factors, making diabetic patients more susceptible to complications. Diabetic foot prevention involves a multidisciplinary approach, including regular foot exams, self-care education, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, keeping the feet clean and dry, wearing appropriate socks and comfortable shoes. Local care, including ulcer debridement and the proper choice of dressings, is essential for healing. Negative pressure therapy may be an option in severe cases. Furthermore, other conditions, such as Charcot arthropathy, venous stasis, deep vein thrombosis, and fractures, can be confused with diabetic foot infections and require differentiation through medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies. In summary, diabetes mellitus is a global health concern, with serious complications like diabetic foot. Prevention, education, and proper treatment play fundamental roles in managing this condition.

This Chapter addresses the content on the practice of physical activities by the elderly in the aquatic environment, more specifically water aerobics. It will discuss the importance of water aerobics socially and physiologically for the elderly and its main benefits; from the prevention to the treatment of diseases that are linked to the aging phase. Worldwide, there is a notorious increase in the population aging process, so it is necessary to perpetuate good eating habits and physical activities, so that this phase is not associated with an increase in pathological conditions. Regarding these practices, water aerobics gives back to the elderly autonomy, self-esteem, greater social bond with new friendships during classes; In addition to physiological benefits such as; improvement of muscular endurance, increase of strength, flexibility, improvement of physical skills and capacities, among others. In this Chapter we will also see that water aerobics brings in its practical proposal, the use of music and the diversity of materials, making it even more pleasurable, playful and special for the elderly. With all its differentials and facilities of execution and good adaptation by this public, this activity also helps to return more quality of life to patients in the treatment of diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and lymphedema. Therefore, it is concluded that the practice of water aerobics is an excellent alternative for health promotion, prevention and treatment of diseases in the elderly.
Efficiency in the management of civil construction waste with the adoption of the integrated waste exchange system in Brazil
Authors: Severo Elisabeth Maria Ferreira , Souza Hipólito José Campos de
Published: October 2023

Federal Law No. 12,305/2010, which provides for the National Solid Waste Policy, establishes that: "Civil Construction Waste (RCC) originates in the construction, renovation, repair and demolition of works, as well as those resulting from the preparation and excavation of land for construction". In addition, the legislation specifies the responsibility of waste generators for collection, transportation, transshipment, and final disposal, aiming at reduction, reuse, recycling, proper treatment of waste and a lower environmental impact. Currently, some industry federations have platforms that aim to promote and facilitate transactions related to the waste produced by their members, however, most operate in isolation. The National Confederation of Industries (CNI) has created a web platform developed for integrated operation that allows the adhesion of state industry federations. Of the twenty-seven federative units of Brazil (Federal District and twenty-six states), the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso do Sul (about 19% of the total) have isolated (non-integrated) Recyclables/Waste Bags and only the states of Paraná, Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Sergipe (15%) participate in the Integrated Waste Exchange System (SIBR) of the National Confederation of Industries. This research aims to present the positive points of the integrated system and propose the use of SIBR in all federative units of Brazil. Initially, it was found that the SIBR system, in addition to facilitating and enabling the execution of transactions such as the intermediation of the sale, exchange, and donation of materials / products, also provides the reduction of costs and time, because of the integration, also contributing to the correct disposal of waste and, consequently, to environmental preservation.

This is an experience report of a quantitative descriptive approach about the performance of the Monitor's Integrated Monitoring project of the Department of Cell Biology and Genetics (MIC-DBG) of UFRN during Emergency Remote Teaching in the pandemic caused by SARS CoV-2. The Monitoring actions were developed with Ecology, Nursing, Dentistry and Pharmacy students, assisting the teachers of 03 classes of Cellular and Molecular Biology and 01 class of Genetics, making a population of 102 students. The use of TDICs in synchronous and asynchronous actions was of relevant importance for both students and professors, and none of them had sufficient skills and competencies to face higher education in the ERE condition as a strategy for continuing the general activities of the global population. The limitations and restrictions were not the same for the actors of the teacher-student teaching process and, consequently, for the Monitor. The results of the Monitor's actions were successful both with Cellular and Molecular Biology classes and with the Genetics class, where the use of Instagram and Whatsapp was the main communication link. The actions included group discussions, holding scavenger hunts through Instagram, providing didactic material, solving exercises discussed remotely, and also using virtual laboratories, online simulators, animations and games of biocellular processes, culminating with the unique opportunity that Monitoring provides, that of teaching a theoretical class supervised by the teacher. There was good adherence of the students with participation in the discussions and search for monitoring to remove doubts individually with preferential use of messaging applications (insert the numbers %). Reports from the students in the groups (67%) point to TDICs as great strategies for a greater assimilation of the content, as well as an improvement in the performance of the evaluations due to the contribution of the monitor. In this report of the experiences of a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing student as an Integrated Monitor, it is noted that, although the challenges experienced during the pandemic have affected the population in several instances, and in education it was no different, the possibilities with new technologies in line with synchronous and asynchronous remote teaching, it was possible to reap good results during the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERE), which contributed so much to the maturation and strengthening of the student triad - Integrated Monitor – Teacher.

This study aimed to evaluate the viability of probiotic cultures (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis) and their physicochemical, rheological, and sensory properties in yogurt with passion fruit pulp and pectin. Six treatments of yogurts were prepared, differing in the addition of passion fruit pulp and pectin and different combinations of starter and probiotic cultures. The addition of passion fruit pulp and pectin interfered in pH, acidity, syneresis, and viscosity but did not affect the viability of the probiotic cultures, and in the sensory evaluation, the evaluators accepted the yogurt well. The results obtained were promising, as in addition to the antioxidant potential and significant nutritional value, they allow the development of a new dairy product with the insertion of regional fruits.

The Zika virus (ZIKAV) is a flavivirus, which causes an arbovirus of epidemiological importance, mainly in tropical countries, which was first isolated in 1947 from a monkey in the Zika forest in Uganda and later in humans in Nigeria. In Brazil, in May 2015, ZIKAV infection was identified, which spread throughout the Americas and coincided with an increase in neurological complications such as congenital microcephaly and numerous cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause acute flaccid paralysis, areflexia and ascending. Recently, some reports from the Brazilian Ministry of Health showed that cases of congenital microcephaly have increased among newborns in the northeastern region of the country, indicating a probable association with ZIKAV infection during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to investigate in the literature the pathogenesis of microcephaly caused by ZIKAV and to present the phenotype of newborns affected by prenatal infection, prognosis and results of early neurostimulation of these affected newborns. It was prepared from a literature review in the VHL (Virtual Health Library) and PubMed (Medline) electronic databases. The search for the articles was restricted between 2009 and 2019. A search strategy was developed in Portuguese and English for each of the databases searched, using the following health descriptors: Zika virus, microcephaly and pathogenesis. The descriptors are in accordance with the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS). Based on the review performed, ZIKAV infection during pregnancy appears to be the cause of a recognizable pattern of congenital anomalies that is consistent and odd, although there are many similar components in other congenital infections there are some distinguishing features, among them severe microcephaly with partially collapsed skull, cerebral cortex with subcortical calcifications, macular scarring and pigmentary retinal spotting, congenital contractures, and early hypertonia with symptoms of extrapyramidal involvement. Based on the phenotype presented by these children, the treatment determined is individualized, and early neurostimulation is essential for better neuronal spasticity and to improve the quality of life of these newborns.

Growth hormone (GH) deficiency is a syndrome caused by impaired GH secretion which may have congenital, less common, or acquired causes. To treat the deficiency, daily subcutaneous injections of GH are used. The treatment is effective and safe, but as it requires daily injections for many years, adherence can be affected. The pharmacist can provide guidance on the use of GH, identifying and solving problems that may compromise adherence to treatment. The objective of this work was to develop material to guide children using GH and their caregivers. In the first stage, interns and pharmacists exchanged their experiences about the consultations. Subsequently, there was a search for information in the literature about the main adherence problems found in the studies. Finally, we developed a Welcome Letter for the child and a Guidance Manual for caregivers.

Population growth will increase global food demand compared to current demand. This factor leads to a shift in consumption to a more diverse diet, which includes a larger share of processed foods, meats, dairy, and fish, all of which add pressure to the supply system. The introduction of more sustainable food sources, such as earthworms, will improve the health of the planet and humans. The purpose of this article is to analyze and present a comprehensive literature review on earthworm consumption in the world. A literature survey was conducted from May to July 2023. The works related to the theme were searched through research on scientific platforms over a period of 27 years. A total of 10 articles related to the theme were found, most of which were in Europe, followed by Asia and America. All studies highlighted the importance of exploring earthworms as a viable sustainable protein alternative for the future, and more studies and awareness of the benefits of their consumption are needed.

The IAC Quarantine Complex is responsible for carrying out the quarantine of plant materials that will be introduced in Brazil by private companies or public institutions, with the objective of scientific research. The materials are analyzed for pathogenic agents, as well as sown in a greenhouse for growth analysis and to verify possible pathogen symptoms. Some viruses, bacteria, and fungi, present in imported materials, require increasingly improved diagnostic and traceability techniques. As of November 2012, implementations began to promote the development of this work within a modern structure, based on international quarantine models. Including adaptations of greenhouses, cold chambers, organization, and assembly of new laboratories for the analysis of materials, in this way, new methodologies were studied and applied, such as techniques involving molecular biology (PCR). To complement the efficiency of the analyzes carried out in plant quarantine, more specific and precise tests were developed. For better results and greater security, the analyzes are carried out within IAC Quarantine complex.

Biocompatibility is the ability of biomaterials to promote and influence the tissue repair process, and to interact with tissues and organs without causing damage or compromising the biomaterial. The aim of this narrative review was to deepen the theoretical concept of the interaction between biomaterial and tissue. In addition to providing an accessible view of biocompatibility without ignoring the concepts. In this vein, the mechanisms of biocompatibility were analyzed, such as the systemic and local physiological response to biomaterials in order to improve clinical applicability. The interaction between biomaterials and the tissue interface is a complex chain of reactions between the organism and the device that can be modulated by the properties of the biomaterial. Understanding this interaction allows us to develop better applicability strategies with better clinical results.
