The aim was to evaluate, in vitro, quantitatively and qualitatively, the effect of pH cycling and simulated toothbrushing on surface roughness (Ra) and bacterial adhesion (Cn) of bulk-fill composite resins. Thirty specimens of each composite resin, 5 mm wide and 4 mm high, were obtained: group 1 (control): Filtek Z250 (Z250); group 2: Filtek Bulk-Fill (FTK); group 3: Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill (TTC); and group 4: Aura Bulk-Fill (AUR). After 24 hours, the specimens were polished and then alternated with demineralization/ ...

The low incidence of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, in premenopausal women has led to the conclusion that ovarian hormones may have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. We evaluated the effects of ovariectomy and/or estradiol on sympathovagal balance and heart rate variability (HRV) in female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with tachycardia and compared them to Wistar rats (12 weeks old; N = 8-12). Ovariectomy (OVX) and/or estradiol (10 µg/kg) did not affect basal arterial ...

Bacillus anthracis was isolated and identified from a bacterial collection of samples from the Amazon river bank. Type II restriction endonuclease activity was detected in this prokaryote, the enzyme was purified, the molecular mass of the native protein estimated by gel filtration, and optima pH, temperature and salt requirements were determined. Quality control assays showed complete absence of 'non-specific nucleases'. Restriction cleavage analysis and DNA sequencing of restriction fragments allowed ...

It is usually associated with umbilical cord abnormalities that lead to mechanical compression with consequent vascular ectasia. Its correct diagnosis and clinical management remains a challenge that has not yet been resolved.

Changes in innervation zone (IZ) position may affect the amplitude of surface electromyograms (EMGs). If not accounted for, these changes may lead to equivocal interpretation on the degree of muscle activity from EMG amplitude. In this study we ask how much the IZ position changes within different regions of the pectoralis major (PM) during the bench press exercise. If expressive, changes in IZ position may explain the conflictual results reported on PM activation during bench press. Single-differential ...

Changes in 5-HT1A receptor (5-HT1AR)-mediated neurotransmission in the hippocampus have been associated with anxiety, depression and in the mode of action of antidepressant drugs. It has been commonly accepted that whereas the dorsal pole of the hippocampus (DH) is involved in cognitive processing, the ventral pole (VH) is associated with emotional regulation. However, to date, only a few studies have directly addressed the role played by VH 5-HT1ARs in anxiety and panic processing, and their results ...

No carcinogenesis or mutagenesis studies have been carried out with etomidate. The current study showed that etomidate has weak cytotoxic potential after 48 h exposure in human lymphocytes and has no hemolytic activity. The weak cytotoxicity seems to be related with redox imbalance of etomidate (40.9 and 81.9 μM) treated lymphocytes. At both etomidate concentrations, a slight decrease of the levels of GSH intracellular content and a significant increase in the amount of carbonylated proteins were ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection acquired during pregnancy is associated with congenital microcephaly. We describe 2 cases of ZIKV infection in women in their 36th week of pregnancy whose fetuses had preserved head circumference at birth and findings of subependymal cysts and lenticulostriate vasculopathy in postnatal imaging. These represent the first signs of congenital brain injury acquired due to ZIKV in the third trimester.

SAP and PI were measured in C57Bl/6J mice subjected to sinoaortic deafferentation (SAD, n = 21) or sham surgery (n = 20). Average SAP and PI did not differ in SAD or control mice. In contrast, SAP variance was enhanced (21 +/- 4 vs. 9.5 +/- 1 mmHg2) and PI variance reduced (8.8 +/- 2 vs. 26 +/- 6 ms2) in SAD vs. control mice. High-frequency (HF: 1-5 Hz) SAP variability ...
