ABSTRACT Objective: to validate an experimental model for the measurement of glycemic levels in surgical flaps with the use of common glucometers, and to analyze the diagnostic criteria for hypoperfusion of such flaps. Methods: we performed vertical myocutaneous rectus abdominis flaps with upper pedicl...
Background: Nitrate exposure may be associated with thyroid gland dysfunction. Aim: To review the available evidence about the relationship between nitrates in drinking water and thyroid gland dysfunction. Material and Methods: A wide search was performed using Medline, Cochrane, Lilacs, IBECS and Scie...
Abstract Objective: To assess the applicability of salivary C-reactive protein, mean platelet volume, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Methods: Prospective case-control study of 70 full-term neonates, 35 with sepsis (20 with proven sepsis a...

This study evaluated the shear stress distribution on the adhesive interface and the bond strength between resin cement and two ceramics. For finite element analysis (FEA), a tridimensional model was made using computer-aided design software. This model consisted of a ceramic slice (10x10x2mm) partially ...
Background: Lettuce is a globally important leafy vegetable and a model plant for biotechnology due to its adaptability to tissue culture and stable genetic transformation. Lettuce is also crucial for functional genomics research in the Asteraceae which includes species of great agronomical importance. T...
