title: 3D reconstruction of lower anterior teeth from CBCT images: automatic segmentation with manual refinements

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To develop a well-detailed and reproducible tooth segmentation method, when quantifying tooth volumetric measurements is needed. Material and Methods: This was an in vitro study in which lower incisors and canines of five patients were 3D reconstructed by means of an automatic segmentation with manual refinements process. All the images were obtained using a 0.3-mm voxel size CBCT imaging. The software utilized was the ITK-SNAP®. The primary outcomes were the intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities and the respective measurement errors. Results: The intra-rater reliability was excellent, with a mean measurement error of 4.16%. The inter-rater reliability was good, with a mean measurement error of 7.11%. Accuracy assessment was not possible, as the assessed teeth were not extracted. Conclusions: Although the described method is reliable, tooth volumetric error measurements may become significant, depending on the assessed situation.

title: Effect of different disinfection protocols in bacterial viability of an intraradicular biofilm formed in situ

description: Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate bacterial viability after the use of different disinfection protocols in root canals infected with a multispecies biofilm (MB) formed in situ. Palatal roots with a single canal were obtained from extracted maxillary molars and sterilized before being inserted into the mouth. The roots were contaminated with a MB in an intraoral appliance worn by ten volunteers. All volunteers wore six roots simultaneously in two intraoral devices for 21 days. One root from each volunteer was assigned to each group (n=10): PUI - passive ultrasonic irrigation; EC - Easy Clean; XPF - XP-endo Finisher; aPDT - antimicrobial photodynamic therapy; CI - conventional irrigation; and NC - negative control. The samples were evaluated under confocal laser scanning microscopy. The percentage of viable cells (VC) was calculated over the total percentage of MB biovolume. Data were statistically analyzed (α=5%). The cell viability in the entire root canal or for each third was compared between groups (Kruskal-Wallis test, Dunn post-hoc test) and for the same group (Friedman test, Dunn post-hoc test). Disinfection protocols were not significantly different from each other (P&gt;.05). Samples in EC, PUI, and aPDT had lower cell viability than in NC (P&lt;.05). In the coronal third of samples in the EC, XPF, PUI and aPDT, the percentage of VC biovolume was lower than in the NC (P&lt;.05). The percentage of VC in EC samples was lower in the coronal and middle thirds than in the apical third (P&lt;.05). EC, PUI and aPDT had significant effects on cell viability in intraradicular multispecies biofilm formed in situ when compared with untreated samples.

title: Surgical approach in correction of a crack in the gnathotheca of a black swan (Cygnus atratus, Latham, 1790) - First case report

description: ABSTRACT The black swan (Cygnus atratus, LATHAM, 1790) is a bird kept as an ornamental in zoos. Because of their long beaks they tend to have a reserved prognosis in musculoskeletal disorders such as beak trauma, secondary to skull bone fractures, presenting irreversible lesions. The aim of this report is present a clinical surgical innovation in the repair of a black swan’s gnathotheca fissure with the application of non-conventional materials used. It was observed that one of the swans kept in a zoo display area had difficulty feeding, with associated weight loss. It was observed tissue loss and a lacerative lesion in the caudal sublingual region of its beak. The lesion was corrected by a separate simple suture in the cranial region of the beak and with a x-clamping using steel surgical wire and the application of dental resin in the distal region to perform a sustentation bridge in the beak end-gap. After 12 days, the animal was able to feed again and remained perfectly adapted to the restoration, reestablishing the anatomical and physiological function of its beak.

title: Efficacy of household methods for disinfecting water for human consumption: focus on the context of Santarém, state of Pará, Brazil

description: In the Amazon region, cities such as Santarém, in the state of Pará, Brazil, still lack Water Treatment Stations to serve the entire population. In these places, household methods of water disinfection are important to preserve potability and avoid undesirable health effects. Our study experimentally evaluated the effect of household methods for eliminating Escherichia coli in water samples. The techniques evaluated for this study were: (i) sodium hypochlorite 2.5%; (ii) boiling; (iii) ceramic filter, and (iv) sun exposure. Samples were tested, combining different concentrations of E. coli (from 3 to 100 colony forming units/100mL). The results showed that household disinfection methods were effective in eliminating E. coli; except for the ceramic filter, the water of which was still positive for their growth, even after filtration. Considering that the distribution of treated water does not reach most of the population living in Santarém and in peri-urban areas, such as the quilombola and riverside communities, the use of such methods as sodium hypochlorite 2.5%, boiling, and sun exposure may favor health promotion and reduce the occurrence of outbreaks of dysentery transmitted by water.

title: Analysis of discriminant variables for classification of medical schools

description: Abstract: Introduction: This is a methodological study that aims to identify the extent to which a set of variables characteristic of medical schools have a discriminating capacity to classify the courses through cluster analysis. In the last two decades, there has been a significant increase of vacancies in medical courses. This advent has posed challenges for evaluation programs, both because of the need to expand the evaluation process and the need to implement new quality indicators. Objective: To propose analysis techniques to improve the discriminating capacity to classify medical courses through variables related to structural, operational, and objective aspects that can be incorporated into the already used methods. Method: Descriptive, analytical-methodological, quantitative study that used data from existing medical courses in December 2020, in the state of São Paulo. Analysis by hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering of courses was performed to identify the discriminating elements that provide standards that cooperate for the classification of medical schools. The studied variables were: course start, workload, academic regime, methodology, University-Hospital, administrative category of the institution, gratuity. For the construction of the clusters, the Ward method and the Euclidean distance were used to estimate the discrimination between the groups. In the non-hierarchical clustering, the definition of the number of groups was determined by the analysis of the decrease in variance. The correlation between the variables was also evaluated through heatmaps. Results: The cluster analysis showed the existence of three groups of medical schools by similarity, with one group consisting of older schools with greater workload, and the other two consisting of private schools without a university-hospital, differing by the course time. Furthermore, the correlations reinforced that the adopted variables cooperated for the discriminability between the groups. Discussion: There is a known heterogeneity among undergraduate courses in Brazil and this also applies to medical courses, which poses methodological challenges for the established assessment processes. However, the inclusion of variables requires methods capable of refining the discriminant capacity of the analysis. Conclusion: The analysis proposed here proved to be capable of identifying groups of medical schools through objective indicators that can support the evaluation process of medical schools.

title: 3-D network routing of Brazil nut harvesting in tropical forests

description: ABSTRACT Background: The aim of this research is to optimize the routing of Brazil nut harvesting in order to reduce labor costs and promote an equitable redistribution of placements among extractive interests. The study area was located in the Tahuamanu province, designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, in the Madre de Dios region of Peru. Planning for harvesting activities is vital to support sustainable use of the tropical forest by extractive communities, generating profit while minimizing adverse impacts on the forest. A location-allocation model was used to redistribute extraction placement areas, taking into account the number of trees and productivity for analysis. To optimize the order of nut load pickups at the placement areas, the vehicle routing problem (VRP) was used to minimize real distance and reduce traversal time. Results: The time taken to cover the route without delays was 08:46’, which is superior to the time taken to minimize the distance. However, the total delay time was 05:10’. Conclusion: Network analyses were effective in achieving the reallocation of placement areas and optimizing Brazil nut harvest routes.
