title: Class III treatment with mini-implants anchorage in young adult patients: short and long-term results

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Class III malocclusion should be intercepted and treated at early age, to prevent the necessity of future complex and expensive procedures. The orthopedic facemask therapy has the goal to achieve skeletal changes, minimizing side effects on dentition. The use of skeletal anchorage, combined with Alternate Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Constriction (Alt-RAMEC) protocol, may be effective in treating a greater number of growing Class III patients. Objective: To summarize the existing evidence-based literature on Class III malocclusion treatment in young adult patients, and to illustrate its application and effectiveness, by presenting an emblematic case report. Conclusion: The resolution of the present case, its long-term follow up, along with the studies conducted on a larger sample, demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategic combination of orthopedic and orthodontic treatments by using an hybrid rapid palatal expander and Alt-RAMEC protocol for treating Class III malocclusions in adult patients.

title: The Brazilian and Chinese scientific publication indexed on the Web of Science: analysis of the Information Science area

description: Abstract This study compares the profile of Brazilian and Chinese scientific publications in Information Science indexed in the Web of Science. The specific objectives are: (a) to survey the number of articles published by each country; (b) identify the characteristics of the journals in which the articles are published; and (c) identify the nationality and type of publishers that edit these journals. The Web of Science search yielded 6,417 articles, with 2,005 articles authored by Brazilian institutions and 4,412 articles authored by Chinese institutions. Of these articles, 29.5% of the Brazilian publications and the majority (99.9%) of the Chinese publications were in English. Brazilian production is published in 99 of the 221 journals, while Chinese is published in 122. Different access models were identified for the articles. Specifically, 91% of Chinese publications were accessible via subscription and 76% of the Brazilians via open access. The highest concentration of journals is in England, the United States, and the Netherlands, with an Impact Factor of less than one. Commercial publishers publish most Chinese articles (92.3%) while Brazilian articles are predominantly available through university publishers with open access repositories (72.3%). It is concluded that the scientific production in the field of Information Science from Brazil and China, as indexed in the Web of Science, exhibits diversified strategies. Brazil stands out for the indexing of national journals and publishing articles in Portuguese that are available through Open Access repositories. On the other hand, China is notable for its publication of articles in English, in journals that are already indexed in the Web of Science, and predominantly edited by commercial publishers. A more internationalized production than the Brazilian one, but with greater dependence on the system by the scientific community.

title: Broiler behavior: Influence of thermal stress, age, and period of the day

description: ABSTRACT This study evaluated the behavior of broiler chickens subjected to thermal stress during different periods of the day and age of birds. A total of 180 one-day-old male broiler chicks were allocated to three chambers. Each chamber contained five boxes, with 12 chicks/box. Birds were assigned to a completely randomized design. The birds were filmed, and the images recorded every minute during the two periods: morning (from 08:00 to 09:00 h) and afternoon (from 17:00 to 18:00 h), at 7, 14, and 35 d of age. The frequency of the behavioral category (water intake, feed intake, resting, exploration, and comfort) was determined. Data were subjected to variance analysis for mixed models with rearing temperatures (cold, usual, and hot) and age of birds (7, 14, and 35 d) as subdivided plot, and periods of the day (morning and afternoon) as sub-subdivided plot. Birds at cold and usual temperatures showed higher feed intake than those at hot temperature in the morning. Birds exposed to cold and usual temperatures explored the environment less frequently at 35 d when compared with 14 d. However, chickens at hot temperature showed decreased exploration according to the increase of age. Birds spent more time feeding during the morning, regardless of age and rearing temperature. Also, during this period of the day, chickens spent most of the time exploring the environment. The frequency of feed intake and exploration decreases with the increase of age. The similarity of behavior between chickens reared at cold and usual temperatures may be due to a change in the thermal comfort zone of the birds. It suggests that the real thermal comfort temperature is between the two temperature ranges studied (cold and usual).

title: Time course of hemispheric cerebral volume after decompressive craniectomy in malignant middle cerebral artery stroke

description: Abstract Background Brain edema is the leading cause of death in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. Midline shift (MLS) has been used as a monohemispheric brain edema marker in several studies; however, it does not precisely measure brain edema. It is now possible to directly measure hemisphere brain volume. Knowledge about the time course of brain edema after malignant middle cerebral artery infarction may contribute to the condition’s management. Objective Therefore, our goal was to evaluate the course of brain edema in patients with malignant MCA infarction treated with decompressive craniectomy (DC) using hemispheric volumetric measurements. Methods Patients were selected consecutively from a single tertiary hospital between 2013 and 2019. All patients were diagnosed with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction and underwent a decompressive craniectomy (DC) to treat the ischemic event. All computed tomography (CT) exams performed during the clinical care of these patients were analyzed, and the whole ischemic hemisphere volume was calculated for each CT scan. Results We analyzed 43 patients (197 CT exams). Patients’ mean age at DC was 51.72 [range: 42–68] years. The mean time between the ischemic ictus and DC was 41.88 (range: 6–77) hours. The mean time between the ischemic event and the peak of hemisphere volume was 168.84 (95% confidence interval [142.08, 195.59]) hours. Conclusion In conclusion, the peak of cerebral edema in malignant MCA infarction after DC occurred on the 7th day (168.84 h) after stroke symptoms onset. Further studies evaluating therapies for brain edema even after DC should be investigated.

title: Evaluation of the effect of melatonin in patients with Burning mouth syndrome: a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial

description: Abstract The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Melatonin and Placebo in the patient with the Burning mouth (BMs). This double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial study was carried out on 30 patients who were suffering from BMS. During this period patients were divided into 2 study and control groups. The study group used four 3 mg Melatonin daily and the control group received a placebo. Then the severity of the burning sensation was measured by the physician Sleep quality was measured using the VAS scale using the Petersburg questionnaire. Data in the application Enter SPSS 20 and then using T test or equivalent Nonparametric was analyzed, mean sleep score and mean severity of oral irritation before and after treatment in two the group was evaluated using T-test Independent. Level significance was considered 0.05. The results of the present study show that the use of melatonin and a placebo in patients with BMS reduces sensation and improves their sleep quality, although it may not reduce it completely. In this study severity of burning was 4.93±2.56 after treatment in the study group and 6.93±2.12 in the control group, which was statistically significant (P =0.036). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the sleep quality score (P-value = 0.43). Using Melatonin can be a reliable way to treat pain for which there is no standard treatment to date. Although evidence suggests an association between sleep disorders and BMS, melatonin was not superior to a placebo in reducing BMS-induced burning in the present study. Identification of stressors and the ways to struggle with them, further studies with larger samples and higher oral doses, extended follow-up periods and control of psychological factors, and measurement of body mass index that may affect pharmacokinetics are recommended.

title: Innovated shear deformable FE formulations for the analyses of steel beams strengthened with orthotropic GFRP laminates

description: Abstract The present study develops an innovated shear deformable theory and four finite element formulations based on a total potential energy variational principle for the analysis of steel beams strengthened with GFRP laminates. The present theory captures orthotropic properties of the GFRP laminae, GFRP lamina stacking sequences, partial interaction between the steel beam and the GFRP laminates, and shear deformations. Three examples are conducted for the validation of the present theory. Through comparisons, the system responses predicted by the present solutions are excellently validated against those of recent experimental studies and three-dimensional finite element analyses. Key results obtained in the present study include: (i) the responses of GFRP-strengthened beams are strongly influenced by GFRP fiber angle arrangements. (ii) The strengthening is the most effective for steel beams strengthened with a GFRP laminate stacked with fiber angles of 0 degree. Based on two parametric studies, the effects of the orthotropic GFRP lamina properties and GFRP laminate thicknesses on the system deflections are also investigated.

title: High-risk spatial clusters for Zika, dengue, and chikungunya in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the spatial distribution and identify high-risk spatial clusters of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya (ZDC), in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and their socioeconomic status. METHODS An ecological study based on data from a seroprevalence survey. Using a rapid diagnostic test to detect the arboviruses, 2,114 individuals were tested in 2018. The spatial distribution was analyzed using kernel estimation. To detect high-risk spatial clusters of arboviruses, we used multivariate scan statistics. The Social Development Index (SDI) was considered in the analysis of socioeconomic status. RESULTS Among the 2,114 individuals, 1,714 (81.1%) were positive for at least one arbovirus investigated. The kernel estimation showed positive individuals for at least one arbovirus in all regions of the city, with hot spots in the North, coincident with regions with very low or low SDI. The scan statistic detected three significant (p&lt;0.05) high-risk spatial clusters for Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses. These clusters correspond to 35.7% (n=613) of all positive individuals of the sample. The most likely cluster was in the North (cluster 1) and overlapped regions with very low and low SDI. Clusters 2 and 3 were in the West and overlapping regions with low and very low SDI, respectively. The highest values of relative risks were in cluster 1 for CHIKV (1.97), in cluster 2 for ZIKV (1.58), and in cluster 3 for CHIKV (1.44). Regarding outcomes in the clusters, the Flavivirus had the highest frequency in clusters 1, 2, and 3 (42.83%, 54.46%, and 52.08%, respectively). CONCLUSION We found an over-risk for arboviruses in areas with the worst socioeconomic conditions in Rio de Janeiro. Moreover, the highest concentration of people negative for arboviruses occurred in areas considered to have better living conditions.
