Abstract The situation of social vulnerability hinders the integration processes and thus can foster problems in interpersonal interactions in school. This study aimed to analyze the sociometric status and its relationships with sex, age and profiles of bullying participation in children and adolescents in situations of social vulnerability. A total of 409 students between the third and seventh grades of two public elementary schools in Florianópolis-SC participated in this study. The positive status ...

Several biological events are controlled by Hedgehog (Hh) signaling, including osteoblast phenotype development. This study aimed at evaluating the gene expression profile of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) treated with the Hh agonist, purmorphamine, focusing on Hh signaling and osteoblast differentiation. hMSCs from bone marrow were cultured in non-osteogenic medium with or without purmorphamine (2 µM) for periods of up to 14 days. Purmorphamine up-regulated gene expression of the mediators of ...

Medicinal plants such as Aloysia polystachya are often used in the treatment of psychiatric diseases, including anxiety- and depression-related humor disturbances. In folk medicine, A. polystachya is used to treat digestive and respiratory tract disturbances, as a sedative and antidepressant agent, and as a tonic for the nerves. This study aimed to evaluate the antidepressant and anxiolytic effect from the hydroethanolic extract from the leaves of Aloysia polystachya (HELAp) in zebrafish. The extract ...

Naphthoquinones and 1,2,3-triazoles are structural pharmacophore that is known to impart several cancer cells. This work shows a synthetic methodology to obtain hybrid molecules involving naphthoquinone and triazol scaffold as multiple ligands. A simple and efficient synthetic route was used to prepare a series of sixteen compounds being eight 2-(1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,2 b]furan-4,5-diones and eight 2-(1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2,3-dihydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-diones. ...

Among the interbody fusions, lateral lumbar interbody fusion allows access to the lumbar spine through the major psoas muscle, which offers several advantages to the spine surgeon. However, some of its drawbacks cause surgeons to avoid using it as a daily practice. Therefore, to address some of these challenges, we propose the prone transpsoas technique, differing mainly from the traditional technique on patient position-moving from lateral to prone decubitus, theoretically enhancing the lordosis ...

This paper describes the preparation of Sodium Polyphosphates Coacervates (NaPC) through the direct addition of different methanol molar fractions to a sodium polyphosphate solution. The presence of methanol reduces the dielectric constant medium and it promotes the coacervate formation. Rheology measurement shows that the NaPC viscosity is dependent on a methanol molar fraction, which is caused by the dielectric constant reduction of the water-methanol mixture. Raman spectra for the lyophilized ...

Volumetric yield analysis is critical to optimizing performance in the timber industry. In the Amazon and in the Amapá state, this information is still little known and scarce, and therefore this study was developed to obtain and analyze the volumetric yield coefficient of ten commercial tree species and to test the variation by diameter class. We collect data of volumetric yield from for ten commercial species. For each species, the yields in different diameter classes were analyzed, as well as ...

Aims Our aim was to describe the mid-term appearances of the repair process of the Achilles tendon after tenotomy in children with a clubfoot treated using the Ponseti method. Patients and Methods A total of 15 children (ten boys, five girls) with idiopathic clubfoot were evaluated at a mean of 6.8 years (5.4 to 8.1) after complete percutaneous division of the Achilles tendon. The contour and subjective thickness of the tendon were recorded, and superficial defects and its strength were assessed clinically. ...

Thus, modern NILM may recognize appliances connected to the grid during certain periods, while providing much more information than the traditional monthly consumption. Therefore, this article presents a new load disaggregation methodology with microscopic characteristics collected from current and voltage ...

Sagittal balance describes the optimal alignment of the spine in the sagittal plane, resulting from the interaction between the spine and lower limbs, via the pelvis. Understanding sagittal balance has gained importance, especially in the last decade, because sagittal imbalance correlates directly with disability and pain. Diseases that alter that balance cause sagittal malalignment and may trigger compensatory mechanisms. Certain radiographic parameters have been shown to be clinically relevant ...

Introduction: School bullying is characterized by over time repetitiveness of aggression, by the intentional injuring or causing suffering to another, and by the imbalance of power between the participants. This is not a new phenomenon, because the recurring situation of violence between peers at school has probably been a regular feature throughout human history. Involvement in school bullying can have negative consequences, including for the students´ teaching-learning process, in which those ...

In imaging diagnosis, redundant nerve roots of the cauda equina are characterized by the presence of elongated, enlarged and tortuous nerve roots in close relationship with a high-grade lumbar spinal canal stenosis. This is not an independent entity, but it is believed to be a consequence of the chronic compression at the level of the lumbar canal stenosis and thus may be part of the natural history of lumbar spinal stenosis. The present paper is aimed at reviewing the histopathological, electrophysiological ...
