Effects of microneedling associated radiofrequency in the treatment of abdominal sagging in women: Experimental study

Fisioter. Bras; 22 (4), 2021
A flacidez tissular abdominal é uma disfunção dermatológica que incomoda principalmente as mulheres. A radiofrequência e o microagulhamento são recursos utilizados para minimizar essa flacidez. Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos do microagulhamento associado a radiofrequência na flacidez tissular abd...

Inalação da fumaça do tabaco provoca alterações histopatológicas no nervo olfatório de ratas

Introdução: o tabagismo é uma das principais causas evitáveis de mortes no mundo representando um problema de saúde pública. Objetivo: investigar a relação da exposição passiva à fumaça principal do cigarro e as possíveis alterações histomorfométricas das células gliais, arteríolas e da...

Recovery of motor function in rats with complete spinal cord injury following implantation of collagen/silk fibroin scaffold combined with human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effect of the collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds seeded with human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells on functional recovery after acute complete spinal cord injury. METHODS: The fibroin and collagen were mixed (mass ratio, 3:7), and the composite scaff...

Collagen quantification in peri-implant soft tissues in human peri-implantitis lesions

Int. j. morphol; 39 (3), 2021
SUMMARY: Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory lesion of bacterial etiology characterized by inflammation of the mucosa and bone loss. Chronic inflammation is characterized by neovascularization and collagen neoformation. Mast cells have been shown to participate in the inflammatory process by releasing me...
