The positive effect of Botulinum toxin type A on the viability of random flap in tobacco exposed in rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (11), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of Botulinum Toxin A in different time of tobacco exposure. METHODS: 60 male, Wistar rats were divided into two tobacco exposure groups: a 2- month or a 4-month regimen. After this period, these two groups were subdivided as two: saline solution(SS) or botulin...

Benthic microalgae community response to flooding in a tropical salt flat

Braz. j. biol; 76 (3), 2016
Abstract This research evaluated the effect of flooding on the microphytobenthos community structure in a microbial mat from a tropical salt flat. Field samples were collected during four consecutive days: on the first three days the salt flat was dry, on the fourth day it was flooded by rain. In order t...

Intra-abdominal pressure: an integrative review

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 14 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT There is a growing request for measuring intra-abdominal pressure in critically ill patients with acute abdominal pain to be clarified. Summarizing the research results on measurement of vesical intra-abdominal pressure and analyzing the level of evidence were the purposes of this integrative li...

Faster onset time of supraclavicular brachial plexus block using local anesthetic diluted with dextrose

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (4), 2016
Abstract Background and objectives: A high sodium concentration is known to antagonize local anesthetics when infiltrated around neural tissue. Thus, we hypothesized that the onset time for sensory and motor blockade, in supraclavicular brachial plexus block using ropivacaine diluted with dextrose would...
