Cryotherapy: biochemical alterations involved in reduction of damage induced by exhaustive exercise

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
When exercises are done in intense or exhaustive modes, several acute biochemical mechanisms are triggered. The use of cryotherapy as cold-water immersion is largely used to accelerate the process of muscular recovery based on its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The present study aimed to stu...

Decellularization of placentas: establishing a protocol

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
Biological biomaterials for tissue engineering purposes can be produced through tissue and/or organ decellularization. The remaining extracellular matrix (ECM) must be acellular and preserve its proteins and physical features. Placentas are organs of great interest because they are discarded after birth ...

Solubility, porosity and fluid uptake of calcium silicate-based cements

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the absorption/fluid uptake, solubility and porosity of White mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) Angelus, Biodentine (BIO), and zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE). Material and Methods: Solubility was evaluated after immersion in distilled water for 7 and 30 days. Porosity was evalu...

Impact of continuous positive airway pressure on the pulmonary changes promoted by immersion in water

J. bras. pneumol; 43 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine whether different levels of CPAP improve the lung volumes and capacities of healthy subjects immersed in water. Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial, conducted between April and June of 2016, involving healthy female volunteers who were using oral contraceptive...

Cardiorespiratory performance of coronary artery disease patients on land versus underwater treadmill tests: a comparative study

Clinics; 72 (11), 2017
OBJECTIVE: To compare responses to a cardiopulmonary exercise test on land versus on an underwater treadmill, to assess the cardiorespiratory performance of coronary artery disease patients while immersed in warm water and to compare with the performance of healthy individuals. METHODS: The sample popul...

Enhanced bioactive properties of BiodentineTM modified with bioactive glass nanoparticles

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective To prepare nanocomposite cements based on the incorporation of bioactive glass nanoparticles (nBGs) into BiodentineTM (BD, Septodent, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses Cedex, France) and to assess their bioactive properties. Material and Methods nBGs were synthesised by the sol-gel method. BD ...

Métodos: Revisão sistemática, realizada por meio das bases de dados: LILACS, SCIELO e PEDRO, considero...

Influence of addition of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride to an experimental adhesive

Abstract The aim of this study was to develop an experimental adhesive with addition of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (METAC) and to evaluate its mechanical and biological properties and its in vitro antibacterial activity. An experimental adhesive resin was formulated with Bis-GMA...

Water absorption and method improvement concerning electrical conductivity testing of Acacia mangium (Fabaceae) seeds

Rev. biol. trop; 64 (4), 2016
Abstract:Acacia is an important forest species of rapid growth whose seeds have tegument dormancy. In this work it was intended to characterize water absorption pattern after seed dormancy break, and to determine the amount of water, container size and the need of breaking the tegument dormancy, as to pe...

Porosity of temporary denture soft liners containing antifungal agents

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Incorporation of antifungals in temporary denture soft liners has been recommended for denture stomatitis treatment; however, it may affect their properties. Objective: To evaluate the porosity of a tissue conditioner (Softone) and a temporary resilient liner (Trusoft) modified by minimum inhib...
