Branding núcleo de odontologia hospitalar - experiência extensionista

Este artigo retrata a experiência de alunos e professores no projeto de extensão do curso de Design da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC com o Núcleo de Odontologia Hospitalar (NOH) do Hospital Universitário da UFSC no desenvolvimento do branding do Núcleo, visando melhorar a comunicação e a imagem do trabalho realizado por ele. Foi aplicada a metodologia TXM (Think, Experience e Manage) para a criação de uma identidade visual e verbal e de estratégias para que essa seja aplicada de forma eficaz nas metas estabelecidas pelo NOH. Ainda foi desenvolvido o brandbook da marca, com orientações sobre sua identidade e guias para a aplicação. Também foi realizado um treinamento com a equipe do NOH sobre a identidade da marca e a criação de artes para postagens, de forma que os canais de comunicação do Núcleo possam ser mantidos seguindo os parâmetros estabelecidos por este projeto

Influence of self-etching adhesive on the bond strength of irradiated teeth

ABSTRACT This study aimed to conduct a literature review about the influence of self-etching adhesives on the bond strength of restorative procedures for irradiated teeth. The search for articles was carried out on six databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, LILACS, Cochrane). Gray literature (Google Scholar) and reference lists of included studies were evaluated. The keywords used were: “Radiotherapy” OR “Radiation Therapy” OR “Radiation Treatment” OR “Radiation Effects” OR “Radioterapia” OR “Terapia por radiação” OR “Tratamento por radiação” OR “Efeitos da Radiação” OR “Terapia por Radiación” OR “Tratamiento por Radiación” OR “Efectos de Radiación” AND “Dentin-Bonding agent” OR “Adesivos Dentinários” OR “Recubrimientos Dentinarios”. The inclusion criteria were laboratory and clinical studies, dissertations, literary and systematic reviews, and no time and language restrictions. Three hundred and eighteen studies were identified in the databases, 30 in the gray literature, and 5 from the reference list of included articles. 40 were excluded for being duplicates. After reading the title and abstract, 28 articles remained for complete analysis. In the end, 21 articles were included in this study. Self-etching could be a good option for irradiated teeth restorations. However, further clinical studies are needed

Avaliação da demanda de cloro na oxidação de cianobactérias e relação com a formação de trialometanos

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a demanda de cloro e a formação de trialometanos (TAMs) a partir da oxidação de células de Microcystis aeruginosa, espécie de cianobactéria amplamente encontrada nos mananciais brasileiros. O estudo foi realizado em escala de laboratório avaliando 4 parâmetros: dose de cloro, tempo de contato, pH e temperatura, fatores que potencialmente influenciam a formação de subprodutos da desinfecção. Os TAMs foram determinados a partir de adaptação de método analítico de extração líquido líquido (ELL) em um cromatógrafo a gás acoplado à espectrometria de massas (CG–EM), que apresentou ótimo desempenho e economia quando comparado com outras metodologias. Os resultados demonstraram proporcionalidade entre a formação de TAMs e o aumento dos parâmetros analisados

Impact of an extension project on the disciple training for action in a hospital environment

The University's role is based on an interdisciplinary, educational, cultural, scientific and political process, promoting an interaction transforming not only the University, but also social sectors in which it interacts. Objective: (1) to describe the work accomplished and the experience acquired within a project of university extension of the health area entitled "Ambulatory of Oncological Dentistry"; (2) to explain the importance of dental care promoted by the project at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (HU/UFSC). Results: it was evidenced that the extension provides the exercise of multiprofessional and interdisciplinary action, giving a holistic view of the patient, far beyond their dental needs. Conclusion: Dental care promoted by the Ambulatory Oncology: Onco-hematology is essential for the comprehensive care of the cancer patient, as well as the additional technical and scientific training undergraduate project extension students receive. It is proposed that these practical activities be included in the curricular matrix of the course

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015

Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism. The genome also contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, possibly involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. There is, in addition, a series of previously unknown but important enzymes and secondary metabolites including paraquat-inducible proteins, drug and heavy-metal-resistance proteins, multiple chitinases, and proteins for the detoxification of xenobiotics that may have biotechnological applications
