title: The effect of alpha binaural beat music on orthodontic pain after initial archwire placement: A randomized controlled trial

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this article was to evaluate the effect of alpha binaural beat music on pain level after initial placement of a maxillary fixed appliance, compared to music without binaural beats (placebo) and no music (control). Methods: 60 patients undergoing maxillary fixed orthodontic appliance and initial archwire placement were randomly allocated into the three aforementioned groups. The pain level experienced was monitored for the following seven days, using the short-form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ). Results / Descriptors: Intensity of both sensory and psychological aspects of pain reduced significantly in the binaural beat music (BBM) group, compared to the control, after the 5th day. Statistically significant lower affective and total pain scores were also found on day 6 for the placebo group, compared to the control. Present Pain Intensity (PPI): Statistically significant lower scores were found between the BBM group and the control group from days 3 to 7. Statistically significant lower scores were also found between the placebo and the control groups on days 4, 5 and 6. Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Compared to the control group, the placebo group had a lower VAS score on day 4, and the BBM group had lower scores on days 6 and 7. Conclusions: There was a significant reduction of pain demonstrated in the BBM group, compared to the control, toward the end of the first week of treatment. There was no difference in reported pain between the BBM and placebo groups for any of the scores.

title: A study of TLCD parameters for structural vibration mitigation

description: Abstract In this article, the efficiency of the tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) in reducing structural vibration is analyzed. The analysis by numerical methods and by analytical methods is adopted in the search for the ideal parameters for the liquid column. The equivalent linear model is considered for the U-shaped liquid column equation of motion with damping resulting from an orifice. Thus, variation of TLCD parameters for different loads is investigated. Initially, for the numerical study in conjunction with the analytical formulation, a sinusoidal forcing is adopted. Subsequently, the action of an earthquake through the recorded ground accelerations is considered in the case study. Optimal TLCD parameters are presented via response map for reducing the structure's maximum permanent response to harmonic excitation and for reducing the structure's rms response to seismic excitation with wide frequency and various amplitude. The variation of the TLCD parameters presented by the response map is directly related to the force acting on the structure. However, it is verified that regardless of the acting force, there is an ideal frequency range to tune the TLCD where the greatest reductions in the primary system response are found. It appears that reducing the aspect ratio of the liquid column makes this range narrower, making the damper more sensitive to parameter variations, as well as its performance. It is also observed that the increase in the attenuator mass ratio combined with the correct tuning and damping ratios present greater reductions in structural vibration. Also, the frequency ratio is reduced with the increase of the mass ratio, while the damping rate of the liquid column increases. From the ideal liquid column parameters determined by the parametric analysis, structural response reductions of approximately 60% were achieved.

title: Reflections on mathematical figures and engineering approaches in anthropology

description: Abstract This paper presents and discusses some examples of how mathematical figures and engineering approaches can be detected in anthropological theorizing and how a mathematical reading of certain anthropological theories is possible and sometimes fruitful. The paper proceeds in three steps: a comparison between experimental measuring and engineering “black boxing” as different ways of representing ethnographic reportage and anthropological theorizing; a discussion of feedback loops in anthropological theorizing; and a discussion of chaos theory and fractal geometry and some of their uses in anthropological writing. I finish by hinting at the fruitfulness of making allies across disciplinary boundaries given our anthropocenic predicaments and limitations in our cross disciplinary analogies.

title: Is self-perception of oral health associated with expectations of employability?

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire that allows a systematic evaluation of the impact of self-perceived oral health on expectations of getting a job on adult population seeking dental care, and to describe its associations with demographic characteristics, job related, and health coverage variables. We designed a descriptive cross-sectional study including men and women aged 18 to 65 years from a population seeking dental services in a walk-in clinic. In a first stage we design and validated an instrument on a sample of 100 subjects. The questionnaire was registered in a Likert scale, with higher scores represented higher impact of the oral status self-perception on employability. We calculated internal consistency, construct validity, and domains validation. The final instrument consisted in an 18-item questionnaire (Cronbach α = 0.814), grouped into two domains based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The total variance explained with values &gt;1 was 66 percent, grouping questions into six components. One domain refers to oral health status and importance of dental aesthetics, while the other refers to specific job-seeking elements. In a second stage we applied the questionnaire on 800 participants from the same population of reference. Women, people who intended to change jobs, those younger than 40 years old, having health insurance, and higher educational level showed statistically significant higher scores than their counterparts (p&lt;0.001). We developed a tool that enables evaluating the impact of self-perceived oral health on expectations of getting a job for adults seeking emergency care in a dental clinic.

title: Serratus plane block with sedation for patients submitted to axillary dissection: a prospective case series

description: ABSTRACT Axillary dissection is a standard surgical procedure for stage III skin and soft tissue tumors and is usually performed under general anesthesia. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of performing axillary dissection with Serratus muscle plane block plus intravenous sedation. Fifteen patients undergoing axillary dissection were prospectively recruited. The patients were evaluated during their pre-operative anesthetic appointment, during their procedure, and at post-operative days 1 and 30. The blockade was performed superficial to the Serratus muscle at the level of fourth rib. Sedation was performed using propofol, fentanyl, dexmedetomidine, and S-ketamine. None of the patients required conversion to general anesthesia. Surgeons showed a highly positive response when asked about the anesthetic technique, and most of them found the technique “indistinguishable” from general anesthesia. The median (interquartile range) pain scores at rest over all time frames was 0 (0-0). Furthermore, no patients developed nausea, hemodynamic instability, or any complications associated with the technique. The Serratus plane block associated with intravenous sedation proved feasible for axillary lymphadenectomy, however, further clinical trials should evaluate potential advantages compared to other techniques.

title: Analysis of the effect of localized corrosion shape on a cracked and notched 2024 AL plate repaired with composite patch under thermo-mechanical loading

description: Abstract This study highlights the analysis of corrosion shape effects under thermo-mechanical loading on the development of damage in corroded and cracked aluminum plates. This study is divided into two parts, the numerical analytical part, was performed to compare the effect of the corrosion geometry on the repair and adhesive damage; We analyzed the effects of damaged areas on the level of corrosion in the adhesive layer of three composite materials (boron/epoxy, glass/epoxy, and graphite/epoxy), and studied the change of the stress intensity factor for circle or square-shaped corrosion. The second part related to an experimental study of the corrosion shape on the ultimate strength of the damaged plate repaired by the boron/epoxy composite material. The results obtained, indicated that the effect of the circular shape of corrosion is small compared to the square shape. The type of composite material (boron / epoxy) has proven its optimal effect on repair.

title: Impact of surgical checklists on the time of surgical processes: a cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the impact of the use of checklists on the mean time of the operative processes of patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasties. Method: cross-sectional and analytical research conducted between November/2020 and March/2022 with retrospective consultation in a simple random sample of 291 medical records, distributed in three periods (2010/2013/2016). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis; p=0.05 values indicated significance. Results: there was a reduction in the time of entry-exit from the operating room (p=0.002), surgery (p&lt;0.001) and between the onset-anesthesia and the beginning-incision (p=0.021). There was no difference in time between patients with and without the use of checklists (p=0.05) in relation to the variables onset-anesthesia, onset-incision, time of anesthesia and surgery. Conclusion: the implementation of checklists potentially contributed to reduce the time of use of the operating room. The nonassociation of its use with the increase in the mean time of the processes in the operating room shows that its application does not interfere negatively in this indicator.

title: Educational practices of nutritionists: educational perspectives expressed in the PSE

description: ABSTRACT Health education is a knowledge production process that expands people’s critical and reflective awareness. The objective of the study was to analyze the educational practices of nutritionists in the School Health Program related to educational perspectives. This was a qualitative, explanatory study, carried out through semi-structured interviews with 22 nutritionists in 10 host cities of health regions in the state of Piauí, in the Northeast region of Brazil. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to content analysis by Bardin. After such analysis, they were submitted to the IRaMuTeQ software and presented in word clouds and similarity analysis. The educational practice was related to guidance, transfer, and intervention. Action planning, situational diagnosis, time, and resources were considered in the reports for carrying out the practices. As for health conditions, schools do not always inform professionals about the demands for actions. For the participants, health is the protagonist in facing these actions and there is a lack of intersectoriality between education and health. The educational practices, in general, are guided by the transmission of knowledge, changes in behavior, and an authoritarian nature. The study suggests another perspective of health education with the participation of society focused on the autonomy of the subject.
