Since instrumentation of the apical foramen has been suggested for cleaning and disinfection of the cemental canal, selection of the file size and position of the apical foramen have challenging steps. This study analyzed the influence of apical foramen lateral opening and file size can exert on cemental canal instrumentation. Thirty-four human maxillary central incisors were divided in two groups: Group 1 (n=17), without flaring, and Group 2 (n=17), with flaring with LA Axxess burs. K-files of increasing ...

The assessment of oxygen uptake (VO₂) kinetics is a valuable non-invasive way to evaluate cardiorespiratory and metabolic response to exercise. The aim of the study was to develop, describe and evaluate an online VO₂ fitting tool (VO₂FITTING) for dynamically editing, processing, filtering and modelling VO₂ responses to exercise. VO₂FITTING was developed in Shiny, a web application framework for R language. Validation VO₂ datasets with both noisy and non-noisy data were developed and applied to widely- ...

Com o objetivo de comparar a ação de diferentes agentes terapêuticos promotores da cicatrização da pele, foi realizado um estudo clínico, histopatológico e morfométrico em suíno. Utilizou-se seis animais mestiços provenientes de uma mesma leitegada com 90 dias de idade. Foram produzidas seis lesões experimentais quadrangulares do mesmo tamanho na região dorso-lombar e uma delas permaneceu como controle. Em cada animal, foram testados cinco tratamentos: Biofill humano, Biofill veterinário, Tegaderm, ...

Recently, several in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated promising results about the use of photodynamic therapy during root canal system disinfection. However, there is no consensus on a standard protocol for its incorporation during root canal treatment. The purpose of this study was to summarize the results of research on photodynamic therapy in endodontics published in peer-reviewed journals. A review of pertinent literature was conducted using the PubMed database, and data obtained were ...

Abstract Striated muscle activity is always accompanied by oxidative stress (OxStress): the more intense muscle work and/or its duration, the more a redox imbalance may be attained. In spite of cardiac muscle functioning continuously, it is well known that the heart does not suffer from OxStress‐induced damage over a broad physiological range. Although the expression of antioxidant enzymes may be of importance in defending heart muscle against OxStress, a series of combined antioxidant therapeutic ...

BACKGROUND: The FcγRIIA gene is expressed in two polymorphic forms, R131 and H131, which differ by the replacement of histidine by arginine at position 131. The FCGR3B ( FcγRIIIB ) gene exists in two allelic isoforms, known as FCGR3B1 ( FcγRIIIB‐NA1 ) and FCGR3B2 ( FcγRIIIB‐NA2 ), which differ in nucleotides 141, 147, 227, 277, and 349. An additional polymorphism is the SH antigen that is associated with the FCGR3B3 ( FcγRIIIB‐SH ) allele. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: By use of a PCR with allele‐specific primers, the ...

Aim: This article analyzed the location of the apical foramen and its relationship with foraminal file size in maxillary central incisors. Methods: Eighty four human maxillary central incisors were used in this study. K-files of progressively increasing diameters were inserted into the root canal until it got snugly fit and the tip was visible at the apical foramen. The files were removed and teeth were crosssectioned 10 mm from the root apex. The files were then reinserted, fixed with a cyanoacrylate- ...

Abstract In this work we show some multiplicity results for the anisotropic equation where Ω ⊂ℝ N is a bounded smooth domain, 1 < p 1 ≤ p 2 ≤ . . . ≤ p N and λ is a positive parameter. Using genus theory, we study the subcritical case g λ (u) = λ|u| q−2 u with q ∈ (1, p N ) and the critical case g λ (u) = λ|u| q−2 u +|u| p*−2 u with q ∈ (1, p 1 ) and p* = N| p̅/(N−p̅), with p̅ the harmonic mean of the p i ’s.

It has been demonstrated that rat litter size affects the immune cell response, but it is not known whether the long-term effects aggravate age-related memory impairments or microglial-associated changes. To that end, we raised sedentary Wistar rats that were first suckled in small or large litters (6 or 12 pups/dam, respectively), then separated into groups of 2–3 rats from the 21st post-natal day to study end. At 4 months (young adult) or 23 months (aged), all individual rats were submitted to spatial ...

Abstract Soil Compaction results from compressive forces applied to compressible soil by machinery wheels, combined with tillage operations. Draft animal‐pulled equipment may also cause soil compaction, but a huge gap exists on experimental data to adequately assess their impacts and, actually, animal traction is an option seen with increasing potential to contribute to sustainable agriculture, especially in mountain areas. This study was conducted to assess the impacts on soil compaction of tillage ...
