ABSTRACT The objective is to reflect on how the work Bárbara creates artistic poetics from the dialogue between urban space and screendance, problematizing deeply rooted beliefs from contemporary art and tensioning others, different ones, from digital culture. Principles of practice are adopted as research to discuss the interfaces between dance, audiovisual technology and modern architecture in Cataguases, Minas Gerais. Recording and editing strategies are highlighted in the creative process of the videodance Bárbara, and the state of trance, of estrangement that happened both to the character, when she dared to dance in a sacred space of the city, and to the researcher who dared to venture, in a wandering way, through the hybrid paths of contemporary art that dialogue dance and audiovisual.

RÉSUMÉ L’objectif est de réfléchir sur la façon dont le travail de Bárbara crée une poétique artistique à partir du dialogue entre l’espace urbain et la vidéodanse, problématisant les croyances profondément enracinées de l´art contemporain et mettant en tension d’autres, différentes, de la culture numérique. Des principes de pratique sont adoptés comme recherche pour discuter des interfaces entre la danse, la technologie audiovisuelle et l’architecture moderne à Cataguases, Minas Gerais. Les stratégies d’enregistrement et de montage sont mises en évidence dans le processus de création de la vidéodanse Bárbara, et l’état de transe, d’éloignement, qui est arrivé à la fois au personnage, lorsqu’il a osé danser dans l’espace sacré de la ville et aux chercheurs qui osé s’aventurer, de manière déambulatoire, dans le voies hybrides de l’art contemporain qui fait dialoguer danse et audiovisuel.

RESUMO O objetivo é refletir como a obra Bárbara cria poéticas artísticas a partir do diálogo entre espaço urbano e videodança problematizando crenças arraigadas da arte contemporânea e tensionando outras, diferentes, da cultura digital. Adotam princípios da prática como pesquisa para discutir as interfaces entre dança, tecnologia audiovisual e a arquitetura moderna de Cataguases, Minas Gerais. Destacam-se estratégias de gravação e edição presentes no processo de criação da videodança Bárbara, e discute-se o estado de transe, de estranhamento, que aconteceu tanto com a personagem, quando ousou dançar em espaço sacro da cidade, quanto com os pesquisadores que se atreveram a se aventurar, de forma errante, pelos caminhos híbridos da arte contemporânea que dialoga dança e audiovisual.

RESUMO A mordida aberta anterior (MAA) é caracterizada pela falta de cobertura ou contato entre os incisivos superiores e inferiores, enquanto os dentes posteriores estão em oclusão. A correção dessa má oclusão é considerada desafiadora, devido à dificuldade em se determinar e lidar com os fatores etiológicos e à alta taxa de recidiva. Uma abordagem multidisciplinar pode ser necessária, envolvendo a participação da Ortodontia, Cirurgia e Fonoaudiologia, a fim de que adequados resultados estéticos e funcionais sejam alcançados e se obtenha estabilidade em longo prazo. No presente artigo, o objetivo foi discutir as modalidades de tratamento da MAA, suas vantagens e implicações.

ABSTRACT Anterior open bite (AOB) is characterized by the lack of overlap or contact between maxillary and mandibular incisors, while the posterior teeth are in occlusion. Correction of this malocclusion is challenging due to difficulties in determining and addressing the etiologic factors, and the high relapse rate. A multidisciplinary approach may be necessary, with participation of Orthodontics, Surgery and Speech Therapy, to achieve adequate esthetic and functional results for long term stability. The present paper discusses the treatment options for AOB, their advantages and implications.

Resumo O principal objetivo do presente estudo foi modificar a superfície de uma membrana de poliamida comercial com a deposição de nanopartículas de TiO2 pelo método self-assembly sob pressão com alta permeabilidade e atividade fotocatalítica. Mudanças nas características da membrana e seu desempenho nas propriedades fotocatalíticas foram avaliados. Os resultados experimentais indicaram que tanto a hidrofilia da membrana quanto o desempenho fotocatalítico foram significativamente melhorados pela presença de nanopartículas de TiO2 aplicadas sob uma pressão de 1 bar. A deposição das partículas de TiO2 sob pressão foi capaz de manter as partículas na superfície das membranas e sua capacidade fotocatalítica por três ciclos de uso. A membrana fotocatalítica de TiO2 preparada apresentou um grande potencial no tratamento de efluentes e sistemas de reuso devido à sua capacidade de remover o corante azul de metileno por decomposição fotocatalítica e separação física.

Abstract This study modified the surface of a commercial polyamide membrane with the deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles by the self-assembly method under pressure with high permeability and photocatalytic activity. Changes in membrane characteristics and its performance for photocatalytic properties were evaluated. The results indicated that both membrane hydrophilicity and photocatalytic performance were significantly improved by the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles applied under a pressure of 1 bar. The deposition of the TiO2 particles under pressure was able to maintain the particles on the surface of the membranes and their photocatalytic capacity for three cycles of use. The prepared TiO2 photocatalytic membrane presented a great potential for wastewater treatment and for reuse wastewater systems due its ability to remove methylene blue (MB) dye solution by photocatalytic decomposition and physical separation.

Abstract Niobium doped dititanium trioxide (Ti2O3:Nb) films were deposited on glass substrates, through grid-assisted magnetron sputtering. The Ti2O3:Nb films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrical conductivity and optical properties. Film deposition was carried out in two different substrate bias modes: DC and unipolar pulsed. Results show that the negative-pulsed mode improves conductivity and crystallinity. The XRD results show peaks corresponding crystallographic planes of Ti2O3. No niobium oxide NbxOy peaks were observed, which indicates that niobium oxide if formed, is amorphous, and/or substituted Nb atoms remain in a solid solution within the Ti2O3 structure. It was observed that "as-deposited" Ti2O3:Nb films (without post annealing) are transparent and electrical conductive, with transmittance that reaches 60% in the visible light wavelength despite the considerable thickness of the film and a miminum resistivity of 2x10-2 Ω.cm which indicates that there is potential for application as Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO).

Abstract: Jojoba is a shrub native to the Sonoran Desert, introduced in other countries because the seed contains a liquid wax for use in the cosmetics, lubricants, pharmaceutical industries and with potential in medicine. The purpose of this work was to know the variability of female jojoba plants native to Baja California Sur, Mexico, through morphological characters of a plantation under drip irrigation conditions. In the study we considered 18 morphological variables of the plant, seed and leaves. We performed a descriptive analysis of each variable and a cluster analysis for the conformation of groups of variability and later a canonical discriminant analysis to determine the variables with the greatest influence on the variability between the groups. High variability was found among female jojoba plants, which were agglomerated in five groups; the characteristics of slenderness index and seed width, perimeter and Feret diameter of the leaves and the major diameter and average diameter of the crown of the plants were the most discriminant variables. Also, it was found that group III is the most promising for selection of outstanding genotypes.

Abstract: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the most important tropical diseases worldwide. Although chemotherapy has been widely used to treat this disease, problems related to the development of parasite resistance and side effects associated with the compounds used have been noted. Hence, alternative approaches for VL control are desirable. Some methods, such as vector control and culling of infected dogs, are insufficiently effective, with the latter not ethically recommended. The development of vaccines to prevent VL is a feasible and desirable measure for disease control; for example, some vaccines designed to protect dogs against VL have recently been brought to market. These vaccines are based on the combination of parasite fractions or recombinant proteins with adjuvants that are able to induce cellular immune responses; however, their partial efficacy and the absence of a vaccine to protect against human leishmaniasis underline the need for characterization of new vaccine candidates. This review presents recent advances in control measures for VL based on vaccine development, describing extensively studied antigens, as well as new antigenic proteins recently identified using immuno-proteomic techniques.

ABSTRACT Diabetes is a very frequent disease and it is estimated that its prevalence will continuously increase during the next two decades. The arteriosclerotic process in diabetic patients progresses earlier and more diffusely, and it is more accelerated in the diabetic patient than in the overall population. In diabetic subjects, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke are the leading causes of death, but the presence of arterial disease is not always detected before the development of the acute arterial event. Several times, AMI is asymptomatic or present nonspecific symptoms, and it is the initial form of presentation of coronary artery disease causing an important delay in initiating cardiovascular treatment in these patients. The purpose of this review article is to discuss how to screen and early diagnose the presence of coronary artery disease in asymptomatic diabetic patients, based on new available diagnostic resources. Currently, the most recommended technique used for screening coronary artery disease in these patients is myocardial perfusion scintigraphy or stress echocardiography because of greater sensitivity and specificity in relation to the exercise test. However, technological advances have enabled the development of new imaging diagnostic methods that are less invasive than conventional coronary angiography, and which gradually gain importance in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease as they show higher effectiveness with lower invasiveness and risk.

AbstractPhage display is a high-throughput subtractive proteomic technology used for the generation and screening of large peptide and antibody libraries. It is based on the selection of phage-fused surface-exposed peptides that recognize specific ligands and demonstrate desired functionality for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Phage display has provided unmatched tools for controlling viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, and allowed identification of new therapeutic targets to treat cancer, metabolic diseases, and other chronic conditions. This review presents recent advancements in serodiagnostics and prevention of leishmaniasis -an important tropical parasitic disease- achieved using phage display for the identification of novel antigens with improved sensitivity and specificity. Our focus is on theranostics of visceral leishmaniasis with the aim to develop biomarker candidates exhibiting both diagnostic and therapeutic potential to fight this important, yet neglected, tropical disease.

Leishmaniasis is one of the six major tropical diseases targeted by the World Health Organization. It is a life-threatening disease of medical, social and economic importance in endemic areas. No vaccine is yet available for human use, and chemotherapy presents several problems. Pentavalent antimonials have been the drugs of choice to treat the disease for more than six decades; however, they exhibit high toxicity and are not indicated for children, for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for chronically ill patients. Amphotericin B (AmpB) is a second-line drug, and although it has been increasingly used to treat visceral leishmaniasis (VL), its clinical use has been hampered due to its high toxicity. This review focuses on the development and in vivo usage of new delivery systems for AmpB that aim to decrease its toxicity without altering its therapeutic efficacy. These new formulations, when adjusted with regard to their production costs, may be considered new drug delivery systems that promise to improve the treatment of leishmaniasis, by reducing the side effects and the number of doses while permitting a satisfactory cost-benefit ratio.

No modelo múltiplo para o sexo masculino ajustado pela faixa etária, o excesso de peso esteve associado a estado civil, renda familiar, hipertensão arterial e televisão todos os dias. No modelo para o sexo feminino, as variáveis que permaneceram associadas foram: percepção de saúde autorreferida, hipertensão arterial e consumo de álcool no último mês. O excesso de peso é determinado pela associação de diferentes fatores que, no presente estudo, mostraram-se distintos para o sexo masculino e feminino.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with overweight among university students from the city of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,104 students (mean age: 24 years) from Rio Branco, Acre. Overweight was used as the dependent variable. The following independent variables were studied: socioeconomic variables (gender, age, teaching institution, period of study, marital status, income, household members, living with other people, parent's education level, and working or not); self-reported health and morbidity variables (health perception, hypertension, diabetes, and altered cholesterol); lifestyle variables (physical activity, watching television, computer use, smoking, and alcohol consumption). The nutritional status was classified based on body mass index. Univariate analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Variables with a p value < 20% on univariate analysis were included in the multiple Poisson regression model. The prevalence of overweight was 35.6%. In the multiple regression model for male students adjusted for age, overweight was associated with marital status, household income, hypertension, and watching television every day. In the model for female students, the variables that remained associated were self-perceived health status, hypertension, and alcohol consumption in the last month. Overweight is determined by a combination of different factors which differed in the present study between men and women.

INTRODUÇÃO: as assimetrias faciais representam um desequilíbrio entre as estruturas esqueléticas homólogas da face. A maioria das pessoas apresenta algum grau de assimetria facial, pois é rara a condição de perfeita simetria. Todavia, somente quando é perceptível aos olhos do paciente, essa assimetria passa a ser relevante. Em tal condição, a correção ortocirúrgica ou o tratamento ortodôntico são possibilidades normalmente adotadas. OBJETIVO: o presente trabalho, baseado em uma revisão de literatura, é ilustrado por um caso clínico cujo tratamento consistiu em cirurgia ortognática Le Fort I para avanço e rotação da maxila e, na mandíbula, o tratamento foi conservador. CONCLUSÃO: o conhecimento da queixa principal e da expectativa do paciente e exames de diagnóstico bem realizados são itens importantes na decisão do plano de tratamento e no sucesso do resultado final.

INTRODUCTION: Facial asymmetries consist of an imbalance between the homologous skeletal structures of the face. Most people present some degree of facial asymmetry, since a state of perfect symmetry is rare. This common asymmetry only becomes relevant when it is perceivable by the patient. In this situation, either orthodontic surgical correction or orthodontic treatment is normally chosen. OBJECTIVE: This study, based on literature review, has been illustrated by a case report comprising Le Fort I orthognathic surgery for maxillary advancement and rotation, with conservative treatment for the mandible. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the patient's chief complaint and expectations, as well as proper diagnostic exams, are important factors to decide the treatment plan and for the final treatment outcome.
