title: The periosteal graft and flap use in Ophthalmology

description: Abstract Purpose: The authors reviewed the periosteum use in ophthalmic surgery and its results. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature using Google Scholar, PubMed and SciElo databases with all articles about the periosteum use in Ophthalmology published from 1977 to 2018. Results: A total of 21 studies followed the review's purpose: 9 case reports, 9 case series, 1 retrospective cohort and 2 prospective cohorts. 206 patients were submitted to the procedures with the periosteum use in the two main forms: graft and flap. The principal reasons for periosteal use were: orbital implant covering and eyelid reconstruction. Surgical outcomes were very satisfactory with low complication rates of 10.67% and minimal necessity of new surgical intervention of 2.42%. Conclusion: The periosteum use in Ophtalmology is a promising technique with good results so far and should always be a therapeutic option for the ophthalmologist. However, based on available data in the literature, more studies with statistical power for knowledge sedimentation in this subject are recommended.

title: Frontal-Mental Line Inclination Test for assessment of cervical curvature: validation and applicability

description: Abstract Introduction: Alternative testing for X-rays in the assessment of the spine have the advantage of not causing radiation problems, but need to be validated. Objective: To propose a clinical test for assessment of the cervical spine based on the frontal-mental line inclination, identifying its concurrent validity in relation to the gold standard and determining its clinical applicability. Method: The present study was separated into two phases: (1) Test of Frontal-mental Line Inclination’s (TFMLI) validation protocol (evaluation of head position using X-ray analysis and computerized photogrammetry and assessment of cervical curvature using X-ray analysis and the TFMLI) (n = 35); (2) testing the possibility of performing the TFMLI with a universal goniometer (n = 23). Results: In phase 1, for the evaluation of head position, the gold standard and photogrammetry showed high and significant correlation (r = 0.602; p &lt; 0.001). When evaluating cervical curvature, the gold standard and the TFMLI showed high and significant correlation (r = 0.597; p = 0.019). In phase 2, for the evaluation of head position, photogrammetry and goniometry showed high and significant correlation (rs = 0.662; p &lt; 0.001). For the evaluation of cervical curvature, the TFMLI performed with photographs and with goniometry showed almost perfect and significant correlation (r = 0.969; p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: The TFMLI is suitable for an initial evaluation of the cervical spine posture of individuals with anterior head position and can be applied in clinical practice with the use of a universal goniometer.

title: Corrosion Investigation of Stir Cast Zn-27Al Based Hybrid Composites Reinforced with Quarry Dust and Silicon Carbide Particles

description: This paper investigates the corrosion behaviour of Zn-27Al based hybrid composites reinforced with quarry dust (QD) and silicon carbide particles (SiCp). The Zn-27Al hybrid composites containing 8 wt% and 10 wt% SiCp-QD particles reinforcement with varied weight percentage of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% quarry dust respectively were synthesized using stir casting technique. The corrosion behaviour of the composites was investigated in 0.3M H2SO4 and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at 25ºC using electrochemical methods in accordance with ASTM G59-97(2014) standard. The results show that for 8 wt% reinforcement, the hybrid composites A2 and A3 (corresponding to 50% SiCp: 50% QD and 25% SiCp: 75% QD respectively) having corrosion rate of 0.006 mmpy displayed superior corrosion resistance. For 10 wt% reinforcement, hybrid grades B1 (75% SiCp: 25% QD), B2 (50% SiCp: 50% QD) and B3 (25% SiCp: 75% QD) has superior corrosion rate of 0.0172, 0.0126 and 0.0135 mmpy respectively while B4 (corresponding to 100% QD) shows the most superior corrosion rate of 0.00315 mmpy when compared with the monolithic alloy having corrosion rate of 0.213 mmpy all in marine environment (3.5 wt% NaCl solution). However, except for composite grade A2 with 0.055 mmpy corrosion rate and B4 (corresponding to 100% QD) with superior corrosion rate of 0.0143 mmpy in 0.3M H2SO4 medium, all other composite grades performed poorly in the acidic medium.

title: Functionality in subjects with major depressive disorder: evaluation of psychometric properties of Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) scale in Brazilian sample

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is very prevalent and incapacitating and there is a common persistence of functional impairment after clinical remission. Research that proposes to study rehabilitation in TDM is necessary. There is a lack of instruments that evaluate the functionality in subjects with TDM. We aim to observe the psychometric properties of the FAST scale in Brazilian sample, cases (n = 44) and not cases (n = 44) of MDD. Methods: a) Questionnaires with socioeconomic information and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5.0.0 scale for screening in outpatient waiting room of two public universities of the State of São Paulo; b) face-to-face interviews with the FAST, Global Functional Assessment and Hamilton Depression Scale instruments. Results: Strong correlations between FAST and AGF (rho = −0.85) and between each subscale and total scale (rho = 0.86), good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.98) and test-retest reliability weighted &gt;0.84). The discriminative validity study evidenced that the FAST discriminates the cases of non-cases of MDD, as well as moderate/severe cases of the others. Conclusion: The psychometric properties of FAST in 88 subjects showed good reliability and validity to assess the impact of depression on functionality in Brazilians with MDD. Future studies with larger samples are recommended.

title: Left ventricular noncompaction in a Para athlete

description: ABSTRACT The left ventricular noncompaction is a congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by the presence of abnormal trabeculations in the left ventricle. The present study describes the case of a 14-year-old female Para athlete, who plays goalball. She was asymptomatic, with history of congenital nystagmus and mild visual impairment, who presented nonspecific electrocardiographic abnormalities during pre-competition screening. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed left ventricular non-compaction (non-compacted to compacted layer ratio equal to 2.5) and mild biventricular systolic dysfunction. Initially, the patient was excluded from sports participation and clinical follow-up was performed every three months. Patient remained asymptomatic during the one-year follow-up, with no history of unexplained syncope, marked impairment of systolic function or significant ventricular arrhythmias at the exercise stress test. Finally, she was released for competitive goalball participation and clinical follow-up was continued every 6 months. There is no consensus regarding the eligibility criteria for sports participation in cases of left ventricular non-compaction. Thus, it is prudent to individualize the decision regarding practice of sports, as well as to consider participation in competitive sports for asymptomatic individuals and with no disease repercussions.

title: Al-doping and Properties of AZO Thin Films Grown at Room Temperature: Sputtering Pressure Effect

description: Aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were synthesized on glass substrates by radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering from a metallic Zn-Al (5 at. %) target at room temperature. The morphological, structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were studied as a function of the sputtering pressure, which was varied from 0.1 to 6.7 Pa. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that the films obtained were polycrystalline, having a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a preferential orientation in the (002) plane. In addition, the crystallite size increased as a function of sputtering pressure. Owing to the re-sputtering of the Zn atoms from the growing film, the aluminum concentration presented a maximum value of 13 at. %. At pressures close to 0.16 Pa, we obtained films with values of electrical resistivity and mobility of 2.8 10-3 Ω cm and 17 cm2/Vs, respectively. Finally, our results indicate that the structure zone diagram proposed by Thornton and later modified by Kluth does not fully predict the structural/morphological behavior of the AZO films, since plasma interactions must also be taken into account. With the methodology used, transparent conductive electrodes can be deposited on substrates at low temperatures.

title: Oral squamous papilloma: a view under clinical, fluorescence and histopathological aspects

description: ABSTRACT Oral squamous papilloma is a benign tumor whose pathogenesis has been associated with human papillomavirus infection. Thus, it is noteworthy that human papillomavirus infection is one of the risk factors associated with the development of cervical, anogenital, pharynx, larynx and oral cavity carcinomas. Oral squamous papilloma can affect any region of the oral cavity, and transmission of human papillomavirus can occur by direct contact, sexual intercourse or from mother to child during delivery. The diagnosis is clinical and histopathological, with surgical removal representing the treatment of choice. Recently, widefield optical fluorescence has been used as a complementary examination to the conventional clinical examination in the screening of oral pathological lesions and for the delimitation of surgical margins. We report a case of oral squamous papilloma with its clinical, histopathological features and, in addition, from the perspective of wide field optical fluorescence.

title: Fetal death: obstetric, placental and fetal necroscopic factors

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Fetal death is defined as the death of the product of conception, regardless of gestational age. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the maternal (obstetrical and placental) risk factors and the necropsy findings associated with fetal death, based on data obtained from the Verification of Death Service [Serviço de Verificação de Óbito (SVO)] in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Material and method: This is an observational, cross-sectional study using secondary data. Were included the reports released between 2010 and 2015, with a diagnosis of fetal deaths at gestational age of 20 weeks or more. Results: During the period evaluated, 210 autopsies were performed. From these, 15.2% (n = 32) presented umbilical cord abnormalities, 22.4% (n = 47) placental abnormalities, 49.5%(n = 104) maternal health problem related to pregnancy, and 10% (n = 21) previous maternal disease. Among the fetal characteristics involved, it was observed that 6.7% (n = 14) presented meconium aspiration and 5.2% (n = 11) fetal malformations. In this study, 21.9%(n = 46) did not have their causa mortis defined. Discussion: The findings of this study show a statistically significant association (p &lt;0.05) between meconium aspiration and full term pregnancy, hospital origin and normal birth weight. Such information is in agreement with the literature, which shows signs of intrauterine hypoxia, such as the presence of meconium, which are more prevalent in full term pregnancy. Conclusion: Among the causes of fetal death, ascending infection was the most prevalent; the maternal death related to pregnancy were the ones that stood out the most.
