title: Clinical comparison of short and conventional implants placed in the posterior region of the mandible. A pilot study

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate and correlate the values of radiographic bone density, peri-implant bone height and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) of short or conventional implants placed in the posterior region of the mandible after installing a prosthesis. Material and method Eleven patients were selected for this prospective parallel pilot study. The prostheses were supported by two types of implants: short implants (n = 18) (5.0 x 5.5 mm and 5.0 x 7.0 mm) and conventional implants (n = 23) (4.0 x10 mm and 4.0 x 11.5 mm). The implants were evaluated by RFA, by measuring the bone height, and peri-implant bone density. The implants were evaluated at the periods T0 (immediately after installation of the prosthesis), T1 (after 90 days), and T2 (after 180 days). Result There were no statistically significant differences between groups with respect to radiographic bone density (152.50 ± 15.39 vs. 157.60 ± 28.46, for conventional and short implants, respectively at T2), stability of the implants (Conventional implants: 66.76 ± 10.39 at T0, and 61.85 ± 8.38 at T2 vs. Short implants: 57.50 ± 12.17 at T0, and 61.53 ± 7.39 at T2) and peri-implant bone loss (0.03 mm vs.-0.17 mm, for conventional and short implants, respectively at T2). Additionally, a significant correlation between the evaluated parameters was not detected. Conclusion The short and conventional implants presented similar stability, bone level and density after the activation of occlusion loading.

title: SANITARY AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND BACTERIOLOGICAL ADEQUACY OF MINAS ARTISANAL CHEESE PRODUCED IN TWO PROPERTIES

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the sanitary conditions of artisanal dairies, to determine physicochemical and bacteriological parameters, and the minimum maturation period to guarantee the safety of Minas Artisanal cheese produced in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais state. The analyzes were performed up to the 26 days of maturation, on cheese from two properties, before and after training on good practices, totaling 10 lots (productions) with 12 cheeses each. Physicochemical and bacteriological analyzes were performed on cheeses and bacteriological analyzes in environmental samples. Up to 26 days of maturation, the cheese was classified as fat and low moisture, but considering maturation up to ten days (usual commercialization period), cheese is fat with medium moisture. The maturation time influenced the physicochemical indices, except for the fat in the dry matter. Environmental bacteriological analyzes demonstrated poor hygiene and faults or absence in water treatment. Maturation and training influenced the reduction of total coliforms and E. coli, but not Staphylococcus coagulase positive, and it was not possible to determine a minimum maturation period that would guarantee compliance with the legislation. The physicochemical analysis showed expected variations, such as the reduction of the percentage of moisture and the bacteriological analyzes reflected the training applied to the manipulators, since there was a reduction in the counts of total coliforms and E. coli; however, to guarantee the innocuity of the product, set of actions should be applied, including reinforcement and repetition of training, recording of activities, traceability, associated with regular monitoring and inspection.

title: METABOLIC PROFILE OF SANTA INES LAMBS FINISHED IN FEEDLOT WITH FEEDING RESTRICTION AND AD LIBITUM

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the metabolic profile of 24 male Santa Ines sheep, with initial mean live weight of 20 ± 1.25 kg, submitted to feed restriction followed by refeeding, distributed into four treatments with 0, 20, 40 or 60 % of food restriction. Two trials were carried out, one concerning restriction and the other one for feedback. For this, a completely randomized experimental design was used, with four treatments and six replicates. It was observed in the food restriction phase that there was a linear decrease in biochemical concentrations of urea, glucose, GGT, and phosphorus; conversely, the cholesterol concentration increased linearly at the end of the restrictive period. Food restriction had a negative effect on triglyceride and creatinine concentrations. Differently, total protein and albumin values increased significantly with the restriction period. In the refeeding, a linear decreasing behavior was observed for urea, glucose, GGT and magnesium. In the second assay, total protein, globulin and creatinine concentrations were found to differ (P &lt;0.05) between the collection periods. Food restriction levels affected protein metabolism and also interfered with energy and mineral metabolism, and refeeding resulted in altered protein and energy metabolism.

title: Data collection about failures in fixed partial dentures: 1-year monitoring

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction of patients rehabilitated with fixed partial denture and the incidence of failures/clinical complications of prostheses after one year. Methods: The patients answered a questionnaire about the satisfaction degree with dental treatment performed and care maintenance for prosthesis conservation. Clinical and radiographic evaluations of the prosthesis were performed. Data were tabulated for descriptive analysis of the factors assessed, with calculation of absolute frequencies and percentages, and chi-square and Fisher’s exact test.. Results: A total of 9.67% failures were found. The most common was the prosthesis loosening (57.14%), followed by ceramic fracture (28.57%), and abutment tooth fracture (14.29%). Biological failures were observed in 30.65%. The most common failure was gingival recession (52.00%), periodontal pocket (24.00%), support periodontal involvement (16.00%), and recurrent caries (4.00%). Radiographic examination showed that 70.97% of the total number evaluated had some kind of failure. There was statistically significant association between satisfaction degree and technical failure (p=0.04). Conclusion: Patients were satisfied after observation period of 1 year. The main failures detected were: crown cementation failure and ceramic fracture; gingival recession, periodontal pocket; manufacture and cementation of short intraradicular post with increased diameter and crown cervical misfit.

title: The effectiveness of protected areas and indigenous lands in representing threatened plant species in Brazil

description: Abstract Brazil is signatory of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which provides guidelines and directions to existing national policies. This strategy aims to halt the continuing loss of plant diversity through the achievement of 16 outcome-based targets set for 2020. One of these targets (target 7) states that at least 75% of known threatened plant species should be preserved in situ. Here, we assessed the effectiveness of the Brazilian current network of protected areas (PAs) and indigenous lands (ILs) in representing all known threatened plant species. We found that the number of species represented inside PAs and ILs varied according to data type. When using occurrence records, we found that 699 (33%) threatened plant species lie completely outside PAs (and/or ILs) and that 1,405 species (67%) have at least one record inside at least one PA (and/or IL). The number of species unrepresented decreased when we considered polygons of distribution. In this case, only 219 (10%) are supposedly unprotected. Although Brazil is almost reaching GSPC Target 7 in terms of absolute numbers, the government still needs to allocate resources for properly managing and improving the conservation status of its imperiled flora and expand the network of PAs.

title: GROWTH AND LEVELS OF N, P AND K IN ROOTSTOCKS OF TAMARIND TREES USING ORGANIC SUBSTRATES AND DOSES OF PHOSPHORUS

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate different organic substrates and phosphorus doses on the growth and leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in rootstocks of Tamarindus indica L. The experiment was performed in a greenhouse nursery located on the campus of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), from March to October 2013. The treatments consisted of three organic sources at a concentration of 40% (v/v) (bovine manure, goat manure and a commercial organic compound) and four doses of simple superphosphate (0, 0 kg m-3, 2.5 kg m-3, 5.0 kg m-3 and 7.5 kg m-3). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD), with 12 treatments (substrates), four replications and 10 plants per plot, totaling 480 plants. The goat manure and the organic compound were the most suitable treatments for the production of rootstocks of the tamarind tree. The maximum dose of 7.5 g kg-1 of simple superphosphate caused the highest levels of phosphorus and potassium in the dry mass of shoots. The nutrients in the dry matter of shoots accumulated in the following order: N &gt; K &gt; P.

title: IN SITU CULTURED PREANTRAL FOLLICLES IS A USEFUL MODEL TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF HOMEOPATHY MEDICINE ON EARLY FOLLICULOGENESIS

description: Abstract This study investigated the effect of homeopathic medicine (Pulsatilla nigricans and homeopathic follicle stimulating hormone - FSH) and the complex (Bos Stress Fertilis) on the initial folliculogenesis, using the in vitro culture of preantral follicles as in vitro model. For this, swine ovarian fragments were cultured for one or seven days in α-MEM+ in the absence (cultured control) or presence of homeopathic FSH (6 cH), Pulsatilla (6 CH), Bos Stress Fertilis (6 CH), grain alcohol (50% v / v) or recombinant FSH (50 ng / ml) added daily. Uncultured ovarian fragments (fresh control) or cultured for one and seven days were processed for classical histology. Only the homeopathic complex Bos Stress Fertilis maintained the percentage of follicular survival after seven days of culture in relation to the uncultured control and α-MEM+. Regarding follicular growth, only the addition of homeopathic FSH increased the follicular diameter when compared to the uncultured control and a-MEM+. Thus, it can be concluded that the addition of the homeopathic remedies Bos Stress fertilis and homeopathic FSH (6 CH) improved, respectively, survival and in vitro growth of swine preantral follicles included in ovarian tissue.

title: EMERGENCE, GROWTH, AND PRODUCTION OF COLORED COTTON SUBJECTED TO SALT STRESS AND ORGANIC FERTILIZATION

description: ABSTRACT The semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil is vulnerable to problems of water scarcity and salinity, resulting in low-quality irrigation water and the need to adopt cultivation strategies that make the production system viable. Given the above, this study aimed to evaluate emergence, growth, and production of colored cotton subjected to increasing levels of irrigation water salinity and organic matter doses. The experiment was carried out in a eutrophic Regolithic Neosol with a sandy loam texture in a greenhouse in the municipality of Campina Grande - PB, Brazil. A randomized block design was used in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme with three replicates, and the treatments corresponded to four levels of electrical conductivity of water - ECw (1.7, 3.4, 5.1, and 6.8 dS m-1) and four doses of organic matter - OM (0, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5% based on soil volume). Increasing irrigation water salinity with ECw values above 1.7 dS m-1 reduced emergence, growth, and production of colored cotton, and the cotton seed weight was the variable most affected by salinity. Organic matter addition led to increased cotton growth and production, especially in terms of seed weight. Increasing doses of organic matter attenuated the effect of irrigation water salinity on the number of bolls in ‘BRS Jady’ cotton.

title: Functional Characteristics Improvement of Metal Transformable-Volume Structures for Space Applications

description: ABSTRACT Under conditions of the influence of space environment factors, the thin-walled load-carrying transformable-volume structures are subjected to volumetric deformation and long-time exposure to external loads, close to maximum permissible design values. The required functional properties of transformable-volume structures are ensured on the basis of applying surface engineering methods, whose effectiveness is difficult to confirm as there is no possibility to reproduce the space environment factors complex under the terrestrial conditions. The method for verification of applied technologies regarding the modification of surface properties was described. It was based on the comparison of finite-element and experimental-computational models of displacements in equivalent fragments of the transformablevolume structures surface. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of methods is given, allowing changing the rigiditystrength characteristics of transformable-volume structures for space applications without alteration of their mass and compactness.

title: Path of Dialogue: a bioethics experience in primary school

description: Abstract In Brazil, the educational experience in bioethics focuses mainly to higher education in undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In recent years, there is growing recognition of the importance to develop the learning of bioethics from elementary school. The recommendations do not concern the inclusion of bioethics as a formal discipline in basic education, but as an area to be worked interdisciplinary and transversely in the context of whole, humanistic and critical education of children and adolescents. This study aims to present and to analyze an educational experience in bioethics in elementary school called the “Path of Dialogue” which used method inspired by peripatetic Aristotelic practices. This experience indicates that a relatively simple activity, supported primarily by human resources, provides satisfactory results in the approach of bioethics to basic education and promotes dialogue between the academia, society and school, promoting the moral improvement of all involved.

title: BRACHIAL PLEXUS IN THE Leopardus geoffroyi

description: Abstract Six thoracic limbs from four Leopardus geoffroyi specimens were dissected in order to describe origin and distribution of nerves forming the brachial plexuses. The brachial plexus is a result of connections between ventral branches of the last four cervical nerves (C5, C6, C7 and C8) and the first thoracic nerve (T1). These branches are the origin of the suprascapularis, subscapularis, axillary, musculocutaneous, radial, median and ulnar nerves to the intrinsic musculature, and form the brachiocephalicus, thoracodorsal, lateral thoracic, long thoracic, cranial pectoral and caudal pectoral nerves to the extrinsic musculature. The C7 ventral branch is mainly responsible for formation of nerves (70.5%), followed by C8 (47.4%), C6 (29.5%), T1 (19.2%) and C5 (7.7%). From 78 dissected nerves, 65.4% of nerves resulted from a combination of two or three branches, while only 34.6% of nerves originated from a single branch. Through comparison with other carnivoran species, the origin and innervation area of the Geoffroyi’s Cat brachial plexus were most similar to those of the domestic cat, particularly among those nerves extended to the intrinsic musculature. The results of this study suggest that nerve block techniques currently used in dogs and cats might be efficient in Geoffroyi’s Cat too.
