title: Micro-CT analysis of filling ability and porosity of root-end filling materials

description: Abstract Introduction Filling ability of retrograde cavity and porosity are important properties for root-end filling materials and may be evaluated by using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Objective To evaluate filling ability and porosity of root-end filling materials using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Material and method Cavities with 1 mm internal diameter and 3 mm depth were prepared in bovine dentin sections by using ultrasonic tips (CVD No. 6.1107-6), and filled by Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA); Sealer 26 (S26) and zinc oxide and eugenol cement (ZOE). Before and after filling, cavities were scanned by using micro-CT (SkyScan 1176). Filling and porosity were analyzed by using CTAn software. Filling ability was calculated based on volumetric percentage of the filled cavity. The number and percentage of closed pores were measured throughout entire extension of the filled cavity (total) and in each third (cervical, middle and apical), by using bi and tridimensional analyses. The filling data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests, and porosity data to Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn tests, at a 5% significance level. Result S26 and ZOE presented higher filling ability than MTA (p&lt;0.05). S26 showed the highest total porosity (number and percentage) (p&lt;0.05). In all thirds after 2D and 3D analyses, porosity was higher for S26 in comparison to MTA and ZOE (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion Although Sealer 26 presented more porosity, the material was associated with a great filling ability. Micro-CT analysis showed no correlation between filling ability and porosity.

title: BENEFITS OF LIP READING AND ORALIZATION IN THE READING PERFORMANCE OF PROFOUND DEAF USERS OF BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE

description: ABSTRACT The learning of reading in Portuguese language by deaf has attracted researchers due to the poor performance in this skill displayed by the vast majority of these individuals. This article aims to investigate whether the use of lip reading and/or oralization, as a complement to the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), can help literacy in Portuguese. Thirty-seven profoundly deaf students, from the Brazilian deaf community, enrolled from the 7th year of elementary school to the 1st year of high school, aged from 12 to 18 years old, were assessed by Raven Progressive Matrices, a semi-structured interview and two reading tests. All participants are Libras users and 57% complement it with alternative communication techniques. Our data suggest that the development of lip reading and oralization skills facilitate the reading process.

title: Evaluation of roughness, hardness, and surface of ionomer glass cements after submission to different systems of finishing and polishing

description: Abstract Introduction The roughness of glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a limitation that interferes with its mechanical and aesthetic performance, and it is necessary to use appropriate finishing and polishing procedures in restorations produced with this material. Objective To evaluate the effect of different finishing and polishing systems on roughness, hardness and surface of restorations performed with two types of GIC. Material and method 100 specimens were made and divided into 10 groups, according to the type of GIC (conventional and resin modified GIC) and the finishing and polishing system used (C (Control) - Mylar strip; PD - diamond burs; DA - abrasive disks; PE - Enhance system; BM - carbide burs). After 7 days in distilled water, the specimens were evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and submitted to surface roughness and Vickers microhardness tests. Statistical analysis was performed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey post-test. Result SEM analysis demonstrated a smoother surface in BM group in both types of GIC. Regarding roughness, a statistically significant difference (p &lt;0.05) was observed between some groups of conventional GIC, but there was no difference between GIC types. Regarding hardness, conventional GIC showed better results than resin-modified GIC; Concerning to finishing and polishing materials factor, there was no statistically significant difference, regardless of the type of GIC. Conclusion BM groups presented better results on SEM; The type of GIC did not influence the roughness values; The type of polishing did not influence the hardness.

title: Report of a rare case and review of adult intestinal duplication at the opposite side of mesenteric margin

description: ABSTRACT CONTEXT: To study the previously discovered clinical entity of adult intestinal duplication and its treatment, and propose an extension to its existing classification. CASE REPORT: We report the case of an adult male with abdominal pain, constipation and vomiting. This patient underwent surgical separation of adhesions, reduction of torsion and intestinal decompression. Postoperative pathological findings confirmed the rare diagnosis of intestinal duplication. CONCLUSION: Adult intestinal duplication is quite rare. Its clinical manifestations are nonspecific. From this finding of intestinal duplication originating at the opposite side of the mesenteric margin, a further extension of the existing anatomical classification is proposed.

title: Histopatology of the reproductive tract of Nellore pubertal heifers with genital ureaplasmosis

description: ABSTRACT In order to study and characterize the lesions in the reproductive tract of Nellore heifers naturally infected with Ureaplasma diversum and presenting granular vulvovaginitis syndrome (GVS), fragments of uterine tube, uterus, cervix, vagina and vulva of 20 animals were evaluated. The macroscopic lesions of the vulvovaginal mucosa were classified in scores of “1” mild, until “4”, severe inflammation and pustular or necrotic lesions. The histopathological evaluation was performed using scores of “1” to “4”, according to the inflammatory alterations. The fragments with severe microscopic lesions (3 and 4) were from the uterine tubes and uterus, which showed leukocytes infiltration and destruction and/or necrosis of epithelium. Alterations in the lower reproductive tract fragments were mild, but characteristics of acute inflammatory processes. The histopathological findings of the reproductive tract of females naturally infected with Ureaplasma diversum are consistent with injuries that compromise the environment from the local where spermatozoa acquires ability to fertilize an oocyte until those where the oocyte is fertilized. Therefore, animals with GVS should be identified early in the herd, because, besides the reduction in the fertility rates caused by tissue damages, they can contribute to disseminate the microorganism. Key words: bovine, tissue evaluation, reproduction, Ureaplasma diversum.

title: Qualification and provision of physicians in the context of the National Policy on Comprehensive Care of People with Rare Diseases in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS)

description: This theoretical essay reflects on the qualification and provision of physicians in the context of the National Policy on Comprehensive Care of People with Rare Diseases in the SUS. To carry out this analysis, we introduce the Policy and its guidelines, with a focus on discussion of two integrated strategies: the provision and settlement of geneticist physicians; and training of primary care professionals with regard to genetic diseases and congenital defects. Finally, in view of the Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines for undergraduate medical courses, we suggest a profile of minimum competencies required in Genetics, developed in order to provide resources to undergraduate courses in Health, in particular, medical courses. We provide a theoretical reference to support the outline of programs of education and training in Health, contributing to including Genetics in the SUS.

title: "Catholic female religious congregations facing the secularization and exile in French Third Republic"

description: Abstract This article aims at analyzing the historical period of the French Third Republic (1870-1940). During this period French sisters were forced to face secularization, dissolution or exile, processes that, consequently, allowed them to contribute to the field of the women’s education in the different countries they emigrated to. Particularly, this paper highlights the development and expansion of the Congregation of our Lady of Sion that arrived in Brazil in 1888, as a representative of the French religious who emigrated to various parts of the planet, where they effectively contributed to the education of young people.

title: From gates to block notes: art and institutional support in the More Doctors for Brazil Project

description: This essay presents experiences lived by a visual artist belonging to an Education Ministry institutional support team for the More Doctors for Brazil Project (MDBP). This program is an inter-ministry proposal based on combining work processes and professional training in health and education. Using the notion of the obtuse meaning, proposed by Roland Barthes, and hyphographic methodology, we investigate the lightness and reinvention of actions in the field of public health at the interface of art as an educational process experimented with for two years in the MDBP. Writings on little block notes produced individually and collectively by a group of supporters reveal a singular and sensible process that contributes to the discussion of strengthening collectivities, primary care networks, education in the Brazilian National Health System, and construction of political and poetic perspectives on the MDBP.

title: The critical influence of nocturnal breathing complaints on the quality of sleep after stroke: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and STOP-BANG

description: ABSTRACT In stroke patients particularly, many factors, such as sleep-related respiratory disturbances, can impair sleep. Cheap and easy-to-use tools have been created to identify sleep quality and sleep disturbances in patients after stroke. This study described the scores of the sleep apnea screening questionnaire - STOP-BANG - in patients after a stroke, and correlated the findings with sleep quality measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The scores of the STOP-BANG and PSQI were 4.3 ± 1.8 and 76 ± 3.9, respectively. The STOP-BANG scores were higher in poor sleepers (4.5 ± 1.6 versus 3.5 ± 1.9; p = 0.032). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of subjective sleep quality (PSQI) and the STOP-BANG as a predictor of poor quality sleep, with a relative risk of 1.6, controlled for age and sex. This study indicated that sleep quality was largely influenced by sleep breathing problems, which were well identified by the STOP-BANG, especially in younger stroke patients.

title: Two approaches to calculate TVDI in humid subtropical climate of southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: Soybean crops occupy most areas in Rio Grande do Sul State and are highly dependent on rainfall since most of them are non-irrigated. Rainfall during the harvest period is often insufficient to meet the water demand, making water indicators an important tool for the crops. This study compared two approaches in the parameterization process of TVDI (Temperature-Vegetation Dryness Index) in a subtropical climate region of Brazil. The process used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images of the surface temperature (TS) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), with spatial resolutions of 1,000 m and periods of 8-16 d, respectively. The evaporative triangles for the TS/NDVI scatter plots were built either for each image (scene-specific parameterization) or for all images at once (crop-type parameterization). The rainfall data were obtained from meteorological stations located in the study site and the analysis period comprised two contrasting harvests regarding soybean yield (most important crop in the region). The scene-specific parameterization allowed to analyze water status in the study site by inspecting the wet and dry edge of each image and identifying the areas of stress in each one. TVDI crop parameterization showed that the model was able to determine the time and frequency of water stress events during the crop-seasons. TVDI crop-parameterization, therefore, is more consistent for crop monitoring and forecasting purposes.
