This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of edaphic fauna under a no-tillage system with different levels soybean productivity [High (NTH), Medium (NTM) and Low (NTL)] in west Santa Catarina (Brazil), identifying which chemical physical variables most affect them, best indicators that can be used. Native forest (NF) areas were used as reference. A total 207 samples soil collected by monoli...

Oil-polluted soil is one of the major sources biosurfactant producing bacteria. This study was to optimization, degreasing and de-staining potentials glycophospholipid produced by B. anthracis strain S62A isolated from spent engine oil-polluted soil. Five (5) bacterial isolates associated with oil – polluted primarily screened for production using emulsification index test, displacement surface...

Os reguladores vegetais podem resultar em alterações no desenvolvimento das plantas e nos processos fisiológicos, limitando altura de planta, proporcionando maior número nós reprodutivos e, por fim, incremento na produtividade. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito diferentes cultura soja, concentrações, visando identificar a melhor combinação regulador/concentração. experimento realizado...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the span length on the fit of zirconia framework fabricated using CAD/CAM system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Abutments for single, 4-unit and 6-unit fixed partial prostheses were fabricated. Ten zirconia frameworks were fabricated for each group. The marginal and internal gap were presented by means of replica technique and measured b...

PURPOSE To compare thickness measurements between Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) and time-domain OCT images analyzed with a custom-built OCT retinal image analysis software (OCTRIMA). METHODS Macular mapping (MM) by StratusOCT and MM5 and MM6 scanning protocols by an RTVue-100 FD-OCT device are performed on 11 subjects with no retinal pathology. Retinal thickness (RT) an...

The usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in the evaluation of scrotal pathology has recently been reported. A standard reference of normal testicular apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and their variations with age is necessary when interpreting normal testicular anatomy and pathology. We evaluated 147 normal testes using DWI, including 71 testes from 53 me...

Background. Breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy often experience a loss of quality of life. Moreover chemotherapy may induce neutropenia. Patients report a better quality of life when additionally treated with mistletoe products during chemotherapy. Methods. In this prospective randomized open-label pilot study 95 patients were randomized into three groups. All patients were ...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by arterial hypoxemia, and prone position (PP) is one possible management strategy. The objective here was to evaluate the effects of PP on oxygenation. DESIGN AND SETTING Non-randomized, open, prospective, controlled clinical trial, in a surgical intensive care unit at a tertiary university hospital. METHODS ...

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity effects of experimental gypsum-based biomaterial prepared with various concentrations of chitosan (Gyp-CHT). Materials and Methods The study was performed using cell viability assay for mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity in stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), after 1, 2, and 3 days of exposure to the biomaterial...
