    Prospects for Higgs properties measurements at future colliders

    Full text link
    The LHC Run-1 was very successful and included the discovery of a new particle with mass of about 125 GeV compatible with the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model. The prospects for Higgs physics at the high-luminosity LHC and at future colliders are presented. In particular, the ultimate precision attainable for the couplings measurements of the 125 GeV particle with elementary fermions and bosons is discussed along with prospects for self-coupling measurements, for the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the upgraded LHC.Comment: Talk presented CIPANP2015. 8 pages, 4 figure

    Objective: developing the main diagnoses and nursing interventions related to complications of radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer. Method: a descriptive study developed in three stages: literature review in the databases MEDLINE and LILACS; identification of complications reported at least in 50% of the articles, which were xerostomia and mucositis and composition of diagnoses and nursing interventions according to the International Classification for Nursing Practice. Results: there were formulated the diagnoses: "Low Salivation" and "Inflammation of the Oral Mucous Membrane" and 40 nursing interventions. Conclusion: this study contributed in the organization of nursing care through the use of a standardized terminology for diagnoses and nursing interventions that support the nursing consultation in the sector of radiotherapy

    Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by a deficiency of minerals in the bone composition, which can affect several bones in the body including the bones of the body. Therefore, this study aims to review the literature on osteoporosis and its relationship with Dentistry, including the characterization of the disease, its causes and repercussions on the body, identify the effects of the disease on the jaw bones and dental procedures and possible adverse reactions of the treatment that may influence other aspects of the patient's health and the management of dental treatment, since this is still a minor disease recognized in the approach of the dental surgeon. To this end, a bibliographic survey was carried out in databases, using the keywords: osteoporosis, Osteogenesis; Bisphosphonates; Osteoporosis Fractures. The results showed that osteoporosis is a silent disease, mainly affecting postmenopausal women. The effects of the disease on facial bones are evident and can have direct effects on dental procedures that require bone repair. Panoramic radiographic examinations can be an important source of early detection of the disease and patient referral. In conclusion, the literature shows that osteoporosis is a disease with impacts on the oral cavity because it directly affects the jaws, requiring an in-depth anamnesis and a prognosis based on disease control. Dentists can help in the early diagnosis of the disease by clinical and radiographic analyses.A osteoporose é uma doença caracterizada por uma deficiência de minerais na composição óssea, podendo afetar diversos ossos do corpo incluindo os ossos da, nesse aspecto podemos ter alterações na ancoragem dentária, no reparo ósseo, remodelação óssea da maxila e mandíbula. Diante disso esse estudo tem como objetivo  realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a osteoporose e sua relação com a Odontologia, incluindo a caracterização da doença, suas causas e repercussões no organismo, identificar os efeitos da doença nos ossos maxilares e nos procedimentos odontológicos e possíveis reações adversas do tratamento que podem influenciar em outros aspectos da saúde do paciente e no manejo do tratamento odontológico uma vez que essa ainda é uma doença pouco reconhecida na abordagem do cirurgião dentista. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico em bases de dados, utilizando as palavras chaves: osteoporose, Osteogênese; Bisfosfonatos; Fraturas por Osteoporose. Os resultados mostraram que a osteoporose é uma doença silenciosa, atingindo principalmente mulheres pós-menopausa. Os efeitos da doença sobre os ossos faciais são evidentes e podem ter efeitos diretos em procedimentos odontológicos que necessitam de reparo ósseo. Os exames radiográficos panorâmicos podem ser uma importante fonte de descoberta precoce da doença e encaminhamento do paciente. Em conclusão, a literatura mostra que a osteoporose é uma doença com impactos da cavidade oral por acometer diretamente os maxilares, necessitando de uma anamnese aprofundada e um prognóstico baseado no controle da doença. Os cirurgiões dentistas podem ajudar no diagnóstico precoce da doença pelas análises clínica e radiográfica
