Glossectomia parcial em um paciente com síndrome de down – relato de caso/ Partial glossectomy in a patient with Down syndrome - case report

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um caso de pseudomacroglossia em um paciente portador da síndrome de Down, tratado cirurgicamente usando a técnica em orifício de fechadura. Para isto, um paciente do sexo masculino, leucoderma, 15 anos de idade, portador da síndrome de Down e sem patologias de base, compareceu ao consultório odontológico acompanhado da mãe, queixando-se que seu filho se apresentava com a língua protruída e permanecendo sempre fora da cavidade bucal. Sendo assim, foi indicado um procedimento cirúrgico para melhor acomodação do órgão na cavidade bucal. A decisão para submeter um paciente à glossectomia subtotal deve ser baseada na falta de selamento labial, hipotonia da musculatura da língua, maloclusões, entre outros. Além da glossectomia subtotal em orifício de fechadura, outras técnicas estão descritas na literatura para correção da macroglossia, no entanto, a técnica utilizada neste caso demonstrou ótimos resultados e grande aceitação entre os pesquisadores. Portanto, conclui-se que no presente caso, a glossectomia subtotal pela técnica do orifício em fechadura se mostrou adequada para o paciente jovem com síndrome de Down que apresentou uma pseudomacroglossia, melhorando as condições clínicas apresentadas inicialmente

Analysis of the sagittal, vertical and transverse effects of skeletal, dental and soft tissues between different lateral osteotomy designs on surgically assisted maxillary expansion

A expansão da maxila assistida cirurgicamente (EMAC) tem, como principal objetivo, o aumento da dimensão transversal da arcada dentária superior em indivíduos com atresia maxilar, demonstrando um bom prognóstico, dependendo da técnica cirúrgica utilizada e quando indicada de forma correta. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as alterações cefalométricas esqueléticas, dentárias e de tecido mole em pacientes submetidos à EMAC através da osteotomia lateral da maxila realizada de forma horizontal reta e da osteotomia lateral da maxila realizada em paralelo ao plano oclusal com um degrau no pilar zigomático. Para isso, foram selecionados exames de Tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) de 20 indivíduos, separados em dois grupos de acordo com a técnica cirúrgica utilizada e analisadas no período préoperatório e 180 dias pós-operatório, por meio do programa Dolphin Imaging, onde foram gerados os traçados cefalométricos. Os resultados mostraram que ambas as osteotomias foram eficazes na correção da deficiência transversal da maxila, sendo verificado alterações estatisticamente significativas sagitais e verticais nos tecidos dentários, esqueléticos e moles no grupo em que foi realizada a osteotomia de forma horizontal reta. Desta forma, conclui-se que o desenho da osteotomia lateral na EMAC não interferiu significativamente nas alterações transversais dentárias e esqueléticas, no entanto, observou-se alterações significativas sagitais e verticais nos tecidos dentários, esqueléticos e moles na osteotomia lateral realizada de forma horizontal reta, sem degrau na região do pilar zigomático.The main objective of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) is to increase the transverse dimension of the upper dental arch in individuals with maxillary atresia, demonstrating a good prognosis, depending on the surgical technique used and when correctly indicated. The present study aimed to evaluate the cephalometric, skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes in patients submitted to SARME through lateral osteotomy of the maxilla performed horizontally straight and lateral osteotomy of the maxilla performed parallel to the occlusal plane with a step in the zygomatic pillar. For this, Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 20 individuals were selected, separated into two groups according to the surgical technique used and analyzed in the preoperative period and 180 days postoperatively, through the Dolphin Imaging program where the cephalometric tracings were generated. The results showed that both osteotomies were effective in correcting the transverse deficiency of the maxilla, with statistically significant sagittal and vertical changes in dental, skeletal and soft tissues in the group in which the osteotomy was performed horizontally straight. Thus, it is concluded that the design of the lateral osteotomy in the SARME did not significantly interfere in the transverse dental and skeletal changes, however it was observed significant sagittal and vertical changes in the dental, skeletal and soft tissues in the lateral osteotomy performed horizontally straight, without step in the region of the zygomatic pillar

A PERCEPÇÃO DA INCERTEZA E O DESEMPENHO OPERACIONAL DA INDÚSTRIA BRASILEIRA DE 2007 A 2009 DOI:10.7444/fsrj.v2i2.56

This article poses to explore the relationship between the manager´s perception of uncertainty and the Brazilian industry´s operational performance during the period from 2007 to 2009. This timeframe was chosen because it comprised both positive and negative cycles of the global economic panorama, and thus capable of interfering in the manager´s perception of uncertainty and consequent business strategies. Periods of market fluctuations and more dynamic and complex business environments clearly demonstrate that managerial models which are applicable to static or predictable scenarios, become fragile and of dubious applicability; that is, practices adopted and described in business administration bibliographies might not produce expected results.  A key factor for sound performance is the positioning of companies in relation to future planning (Knight, 2002), the latter defined as actions taken by the entrepreneur given a certain degree of uncertainty, inherent to the management activity.  The relationship between uncertainty and corporate performance has been studied, at least, ever since Knight in 1921. The author affirmed that we live in a world of change and in a world of uncertainty. The level of entrepreneur trust from the National Industry Confederation represented the perception of uncertainty, whilst operational performance was formed as of industrial production and employment IBGE indexes. Results demonstrate that both constructs have equivalent movements during the course of the period, presenting a positive correlation. Key-words: Uncertainty. Operational performance. Trust. Este artigo tem como objetivo explorar a relação entre percepção de incerteza do gestor e desempenho operacional da indústria brasileira no período de 2007 a 2009. Este período foi escolhido por ter contemplado ciclos positivos e negativos do panorama econômico global, e, portanto, capaz de interferir na percepção de incerteza do gestor e conseqüentes estratégias empresariais. Períodos de flutuações de mercado e ambientes empresariais mais dinâmicos e complexos deixam claro que os modelos gerenciais aplicáveis em cenários estáticos ou previsíveis tornam-se indefesos e de aplicabilidade dúbia; ou seja, as práticas adotadas e descritas nas bibliografias de administração podem não surtir os resultados esperados. Um fator chave para o bom desempenho é o posicionamento das empresas em relação ao planejamento futuro (KNIGHT, 2002). Este último definido por ações assumidas pelo empreendedor mediante certo grau de incerteza, inerente à atividade de gestão. A relação entre incerteza e desempenho empresarial tem sido estudada desde Knight, em 1921, pelo menos; o autor afirmou que vivemos em um mundo de mudanças, e um mundo de incertezas. O grau de confiança do empresário da Confederação Nacional da Indústria representou a percepção de incerteza; já o desempenho operacional foi formado por índices de produção industrial e empregos do IBGE. Os resultados demonstram que os dois constructos possuem movimentos equivalentes no decorrer do período, com correlação positiva

Computer guided surgery in the maxillary esthetic zone

ABSTRACT This clinical report describes the implant rehabilitation for the treatment of pathological roots resorption due to inadequate orthodontic movement in prosthetic space reduced by means of load and immediate implants, computer-guided surgery and use of the own tooth crown in a 21-year-old-patient. The atraumatic exodontics of the right and left upper lateral incisors was performed, and then immediate placement of osseointegrated implants using the computer guided surgery technique. The crown teeth itself was used in the immediate aesthetic and functional rehabilitation. Completion of the treatment resulted in a functional and aesthetic successful outcome and a 27 months follow-up presented uneventful. The procedures included in this complex rehabilitation treatment in the esthetic zone were appropriate and essential for the maintenance of the soft and hard tissues contour and thickness ensuring the excellence in rehabilitation

Construction and genetic characterization of an interspecific raspberry hybrids panel aiming resistance to late leaf rust and adaptation to tropical regions

Abstract Raspberries (Rubus spp) are temperate climate fruits with profitable high returns and have the potential for diversification of fruit growing in mid to low-latitude regions. However, there are still no cultivars adapted to climatic conditions and high pressure of diseases that occurs in tropical areas. In this context, our objective was to evaluate the genetic diversity from a 116 raspberry genotypes panel obtained from interspecific crosses in a testcross scheme with four cultivars already introduced in Brazil. The panel was genotyped via genotyping-by-sequencing. 28,373 and 27,281 SNPs were obtained, using the species R. occidentalis and R. idaeus genomes as references, respectively. A third marker dataset was constructed consisting of 41,292 non-coincident markers. Overall, there were no differences in the results when using the different marker sets for the subsequent analyses. The mean heterozygosity was 0.54. The average effective population size was 174, indicating great genetic variability. The other analyses revealed that the half-sibling families were structured in three groups. It is concluded that the studied panel has great potential for breeding and further genetic studies. Moreover, only one of the three marker matrices is sufficient for diversity studies
