Accuracy of linear measurements performed with two imaging software in cone-beam computed tomography scans of dry human mandibles

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to assess the accuracy of linear measurements performed with two software packages in multislice (MSCT) and cone beam (CBCT) computed tomography (CT) images. The sample consisted of 10 human mandibles marked standardly 8 times with metallic orthodontic wires. The mandible...

Tarsal platform show after upper eyelid blepharoplasty with or without brassiere sutures

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: Increased tarsal platform show (TPS) and decreased brow fat span (BFS) are associated with favorable results in women undergoing cosmetic blepharoplasty. We conducted a study to evaluate the efficacy of upper blepharoplasty with or without a technique (brassiere sutures) to increase TP...

Effect of sperm selection techniques in frozen/thawed cat spermatozoa on sperm motility analyzed by CASA system

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Freeze/thawing process reduces sperm survival and fertilizing ability of cat spermatozoa, with sperm motility being the most sensitive sperm parameter altered, due to cryo-damage. In this context, swim-up and density gradient processing methods can help to recover high motile and normal spermato...

Digital models: How can dental arch form be verified chairside?

ABSTRACT Introduction: Plaster dental casts are routinely used during clinical practice to access maxillary dental arch form and assist on fabrication of individualized orthodontic archwires. Recently introduced, digital model technology may offer a limitation for the obtainment of a dental physical re...

Average interradicular sites for miniscrew insertion: should dental crowding be considered?

ABSTRACT Objective: To define a map of interradicular spaces where miniscrew can be likely placed at a level covered by attached gingiva, and to assess if a correlation between crowding and availability of space exists. Methods: Panoramic radiographs and digital models of 40 patients were selected ac...

Reconstruction of the distal biceps tendon using triceps graft: a technical note

Rev. bras. ortop; 52 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Rupture of the distal biceps brachii tendon typically occur in a contraction against resistance with the elbow in 90° of flexion. Chronic ruptures are uncommon and are complicated by tendon and muscle retraction and poor quality. Some reconstruction techniques have been described in the literat...

Fixed-flexion knee radiography using a new positioning device produced highly repeatable measurements of joint space width: ELSA-Brasil Musculoskeletal Study (ELSA-Brasil MSK)

Rev. bras. reumatol; 57 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective: To describe the performance of a non-fluoroscopic fixed-flexion PA radiographic protocol with a new positioning device, developed for the assessment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health Musculoskeletal Study (ELSA-Brasil MSK). Material and meth...

Correlation between increase in margin-crease distance and patient satisfaction after upper blepharoplasty

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 76 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective: To quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction after upper blepharoplasty and to correlate the findings with changes between preoperative and postoperative eyelid measurements using a digital imaging system. Methods: A total of 60 eyelid...

Tissue sulfomucin and sialomucin content in colon mucosa without intestinal transit subjected to intervention with Curcuma longa (curcumin)

Acta cir. bras; 32 (3), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To measure the tissue sulfomucin and sialomucin content of the colon mucosa without fecal flow, subjected to intervention with curcumin, and the influence of the concentration used and the intervention time. Methods: Thirty-six rats were subjected to proximal right colostomy and dis...

Clasificación automática de glóbulos rojos en frotis de sangre periférica

Introducción: El diagnóstico del estado eritrocitario en frotis de sangre periférica es un proceso realizado normalmente de forma manual a partir de observación microscópica, lo cual implica una considerable inversión de tiempo y recursos, además de posibles problemas de subjetividad y dificultad ...
