Cisto periapical em região anterior da maxila: relato de caso: Periapical cyst in the anterior maxillary region: case report

O cisto periapical ou cisto radicular odontogênico tem origem da proliferação dos remanescentes epiteliais de malassez decorrente de um processo inflamatório, o qual pode ter como etiologia a doença periodontal ou a necrose pulpar. Essa lesão é encontrada tanto na porção apical das unidades dentárias, quanto na região adjacente lateral das raízes. O tratamento inicial proposto para o cisto periapical é a terapia endodôntica convencional, em caso de insucesso, a terapia cirúrgica se faz necessária. Este estudo se trata de um relato de caso clínico, de uma paciente e 33 anos de idade, gênero feminino, a qual apresentava clinicamente aumento de volume intraoral na região dos elementos 11,12,21,22,23. A partir disso, foram realizados os exames de imagem como a radiografia periapical; a radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada. Em seguida, foi realizado a biopsia da lesão, tendo como diagnóstico o cisto periapical. A paciente tinha previamente tratamento endodôntico nos dentes 11,12,21 e 26, com espassamento periodontal apical no 21. Na tomografia, foi observado imagem osteolítica, expansiva, medindo aproximadamente 17mm em seu maior diâmetro na região anterior da maxila direita envolvendo a região apical dos elementos 11 e 12. O tratamento de escolha foi a remoção da lesão de forma cirúrgica e encaminhado para a análise histopatológica. Como resultado, o tratamento de escolha foi bem sucedido e sem complicações

Morbimortalidade por hanseníase em idosos nos anos de 2010 a 2015 no estado de Goiás / Morbidity and mortality from leprosy in the elderly in the years 2010 to 2015 in the state of Goiás

A hanseníase é uma doença causada pelo Micobacterium leprae, sendo o Brasil o 2o país mais acometido. Os idosos são responsáveis por 20% dos casos, causando grande impacto nessa população. Assim sendo, este estudo tem como objetivo verificar o impacto da morbimortalidade por hanseníase nos idosos em Goiás entre 2010-2015. Este é um estudo epidemiológico quantitativo e descritivo, realizado em setembro de 2017, tendo como base o acervo do DATASUS. As variáveis utilizadas na análise foram: faixa etária acima de 65 anos em ambos os sexos. O presente estudo teve como propósito analisar a relação entre o número confirmado de idosos acometidos pela hanseníase no estado de Goiás, entre os anos de 2010 e 2015, e a incidência de óbitos por essa doença em tal população. Nota-se que há importante discrepância entre a quantidade de pessoas acometidas por hanseníase e o número de óbitos por essa doença na população idosa. Assim, é evidente que existe uma boa adesão ao tratamento da hanseníase entre os idosos do estado de Goiás, uma vez que o número de óbitos é muito pequeno diante dos numerosos casos da doença

Intra-articular injection with triamcinolone hexacetonide in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: prospective assessment of goniometry and joint inflammation parameters

Objectives: To evaluate local joint variables after intra-articular injection (IAI) with triamcinolone hexacetonide (HT) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods: We blindly and prospectively (baseline, 1, 4, 12 and 24 weeks) evaluated metacarpophalangeal (MCP), wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee and ankle joints after HT IAI by the following outcome measures: Visual analogue scale 0-10 cm (VAS) for rest pain (VASR)VAS for movement pain (VASM)VAS for joint swelling (VASSw)flexion (FlexG) and extension (ExtG). Results: 289 patients (635 joints) were studied. VASSw (p < 0,001) and VASR (0,001< p < 0.016) improved from TO to T4, T12 and T24 for all joints. VASM improved from TO-T4 (p < 0.021) for all jointsTO-T12 (p < 0.023) for MCF and kneeTO-T24 (p < 0.019) only for MCF and knee. FlexG improved from TO-T4 (p < 0.001) for all jointsTO-T12 (p < 0.001) and TO-T24 (p < 0.02) only for MCF and knee. ExtG improved from TO-T4 (p < 0.001) for all joints except for elbowTO-T12 (p = 0.003) for wrist, MCP and kneeand TO-T24 (p = 0.014) for MCF and knee. Conclusion: VASSw responded better at short and medium term after IAI with HT in our sample of RA patients.

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Optimasi Portofolio Resiko Menggunakan Model Markowitz MVO Dikaitkan dengan Keterbatasan Manusia dalam Memprediksi Masa Depan dalam Perspektif Al-Qur`an

Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

Severe early onset preeclampsia: short and long term clinical, psychosocial and biochemical aspects

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disorder commonly defined as de novo hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestational age. It occurs in approximately 3-5% of pregnancies and it is still a major cause of both foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide1. As extensive research has not yet elucidated the aetiology of preeclampsia, there are no rational preventive or therapeutic interventions available. The only rational treatment is delivery, which benefits the mother but is not in the interest of the foetus, if remote from term. Early onset preeclampsia (<32 weeks’ gestational age) occurs in less than 1% of pregnancies. It is, however often associated with maternal morbidity as the risk of progression to severe maternal disease is inversely related with gestational age at onset2. Resulting prematurity is therefore the main cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in patients with severe preeclampsia3. Although the discussion is ongoing, perinatal survival is suggested to be increased in patients with preterm preeclampsia by expectant, non-interventional management. This temporising treatment option to lengthen pregnancy includes the use of antihypertensive medication to control hypertension, magnesium sulphate to prevent eclampsia and corticosteroids to enhance foetal lung maturity4. With optimal maternal haemodynamic status and reassuring foetal condition this results on average in an extension of 2 weeks. Prolongation of these pregnancies is a great challenge for clinicians to balance between potential maternal risks on one the eve hand and possible foetal benefits on the other. Clinical controversies regarding prolongation of preterm preeclamptic pregnancies still exist – also taking into account that preeclampsia is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the Netherlands5 - a debate which is even more pronounced in very preterm pregnancies with questionable foetal viability6-9. Do maternal risks of prolongation of these very early pregnancies outweigh the chances of neonatal survival? Counselling of women with very early onset preeclampsia not only comprises of knowledge of the outcome of those particular pregnancies, but also knowledge of outcomes of future pregnancies of these women is of major clinical importance. This thesis opens with a review of the literature on identifiable risk factors of preeclampsia

Search for heavy resonances decaying to two Higgs bosons in final states containing four b quarks

A search is presented for narrow heavy resonances X decaying into pairs of Higgs bosons (H) in proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at root s = 8 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1). The search considers HH resonances with masses between 1 and 3 TeV, having final states of two b quark pairs. Each Higgs boson is produced with large momentum, and the hadronization products of the pair of b quarks can usually be reconstructed as single large jets. The background from multijet and t (t) over bar events is significantly reduced by applying requirements related to the flavor of the jet, its mass, and its substructure. The signal would be identified as a peak on top of the dijet invariant mass spectrum of the remaining background events. No evidence is observed for such a signal. Upper limits obtained at 95 confidence level for the product of the production cross section and branching fraction sigma(gg -> X) B(X -> HH -> b (b) over barb (b) over bar) range from 10 to 1.5 fb for the mass of X from 1.15 to 2.0 TeV, significantly extending previous searches. For a warped extra dimension theory with amass scale Lambda(R) = 1 TeV, the data exclude radion scalar masses between 1.15 and 1.55 TeV
