    Efeitos do agulhamento seco no tratamento da dor de pacientes com disfunções temporomandibulares
    (Universidade Brasil, 2021) Castro, Tânia Ecí Santi; Tim, Carla Roberta
    Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a disorder of the masticatory system originating from the masticatory muscles and/or the temporomandibular joint and associated structures. This dysfunction is responsible for the discomfort of millions of people around the world, decreasing their quality of life and restricting social interaction. In this perspective, this study aimed to identify the potential of dry needling in the treatment of TMD through a systematic literature review and evaluation of the use of deep dry needling for the treatment of TMD. For this, articles were searched in the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO) databases with the descriptors in English "temporomandibular disorder dry needling", or "temporomandibular disorder myofascial dry needling", or "temporomandibular disorder dry needling. Using a combination of descriptors as the search strategy. Nine studies were considered. One study compared superficial and deep dry needling. Five studies used only deep dry needling, another three studies did not specify the type of needling used, and only one article compared deep with superficial dry needling. of cases with three patients with chronic TMD diagnosed through clinical examination based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD) and undergoing 4 seasons needling dry, once a week. Deep dry needling was used in the g-points tile in the masseter muscles and through temporal needles 0.20 x 13 mm. After 4 weeks of treatment, it was observed that pain intensity and hospital anxiety and depression scale scores decreased and increased mouth opening. Based on the results, it can be suggested that dry needling promoted a remission of painful symptoms and an improvement in mandibular range of motion after four weeks of treatment.

    Caracterização e testes clínicos de dermocosmético antimicrobiano para coberturas de feridas cutâneas de difícil reparo
    (Universidade Brasil, 2022) Serra, Thallita Karollaine de Queiroz Pereira; Tim, Carla Roberta; Santos, Laurita dos
    This study aimed to characterize an ozonized dermocosmetic and verify in clinical trials its antimicrobial and repairing potential in difficult-to-repair skin wounds. For the production of dermocosmetic, sunflower oil was used. The acid number, peroxide number, and iodine number were analyzed using The American Oil Chemists' Society method. The clinical test was developed with patients with difficult-to-repair wounds and approved by the ethics and research committee (nº 4, 246, 236). Then the patients were randomly allocated into Group 1, treatment with ozonized dermocosmetics, and Group 2, treatment with conventional dressing. Treatments were performed three times a week for 12 weeks. The characterization results showed that the dermocosmetic had an acid index of 17.68± 0.03 mg KOH/g, an iodine index of 86 ± 1 Cgl/g, and a peroxide index of 266.52 meq/kg. In the macroscopic evaluation after 12 weeks, an improvement in the appearance of the lesions was observed, such as an increase in granulation tissue, absence of odor, and a decrease in slough and presence of liquids. There was also complete repair in some injuries, so this group showed stimulation of the repair process with a reduction of 67 to 100% in the area of injury. Initially, 38 bacteria from 13 different species were identified in both groups. The bacteria were classified according to Gram staining. Thus, Gram-negative corresponds to 76.31%, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most diagnosed. Gram-positives represent 23.69%, with Enterococcus faecalis being the most common. The identified microorganisms were evaluated using the antibiogram, divided into sensitive and resistant. Furthermore, it was observed that the use of the ozonized dermocosmetic promoted an antibacterial effect on the lesions of 13 patients. The ozonated dermocosmetic group had a higher frequency of patients without pain after treatment. However, in the conventional dressing group, after 12 weeks, there was a small change in the wounds without significant improvement. Only one patient showed the absence of microorganisms after the treatment period. Furthermore, 37.50% of the patients in the conventional dressing group had an increase in the lesion area, and the pain level was considered moderate. It is concluded that the dermocosmetic group promoted an antimicrobial effect and thus stimulated the repair process of cutaneous wounds.

    Inativação fotodinâmica dos fungos causadores de onicomicoses Trichophyton rubrum e Microsporum gypseum
    (Universidade Brasil, 2022) Rodrigues, Eliane Mendes; Rangel, Drauzio Eduardo Naretto
    Onychomycosis is one of the most common diseases in the field of dermatology and refers to a fungal infection of the nail plate with a high incidence in the general population. The available treatment options for onychomycosis have limited use due to side effects, drug interactions, and contraindications, which requires the application of an alternative treatment for onychomycosis. In the last years, the antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) has been acknowledged as treatment options for several infectious diseases, including dermatological ones. However, the ideal parameters for a safe and effective therapy in the treatment of onychomycosis are still not fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of aPDT, in vitro, on the fungi Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) and Microsporum gypseum (M. gypseum), the main causes of onychomycosis. In the in vitro tests, the fungi T. rubrum (ATCC 28188) and M. gypseum (ATCC 24102) were used, divided into 13 experimental groups: Group C (control - no treatment); group MB (treated with methylene blue); group R100 (treated with LED at a dose of 100 J/cm2) and groups T10, T20, T30, T40, T50, T60, T70, T80, T90 and T100, treated with luz at doses of 10 J/cm2 , 20 J/ cm2 , 30 J/cm2 , 40 J/cm2 , 50 J/cm2 , 60 J/cm2 , 70 J/cm2 , 80 J/cm2 , 90 J/cm2 , and 100 J/cm2 . For the treatment, a light-emitting diode (LED) equipment with a wavelength of 630 nm (100 mW; 2.93 cm2 ) associated with a photosensitizer was used, AM was used at a concentration of 100 μM, using 30’ of pre-irradiation. It was observed that aPDT reduced germination on T. rubrum germination with an energy density from 20 J/cm2, reaching achieving its eradication with an energy density of 100 J/cm2. In relation to M. gypseum, the influence on germination was proportional to the energy density, in the energy density of 100 J/cm². These results suggest that aPDT may be a possible and attractive alternative treatment for combating onychomycosis, although further investigation is needed to determine whether such efficacy could be achieved in vivo.

    Doença do disco intervertebral em cães
    (Universidade Camilo Castelo Branco, 2017) Almeida, Janara Amaral de; Almeida, Fernanda Martins de; Fêo, José Carlos Sabino de Almeida
    A herniated disc is defined as a complete or partial dislocation of the intervertebral disc, which usually causes spinal cord injury. Very common condition in dogs, especially chondrodistrophic. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical signs and thorough neurological examination for the location of the lesion. After the suspicious site, are indicated from simple radiographs, cervical or lumbar pyelography or CT scan. The alterations in the intervertebral disc range from chondroid metamorphosis (extrusion) or fibroid (protrusion). Depending on the compression degree and location, the signals may vary from mild ataxia to quadriplegia. You can affect the cervical, thoracolumbar and lumbar spine. Treatment options consist of medical and / or surgical treatment and is related to the stage of the disease and the degree of urgency. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for recovery from these injuries.

    Sarna demodécica
    (Universidade Camilo Castelo Branco, 2016) Lopes, Karina de Souza; Martins, Juliana Dias
    This research has as main objective to discuss the important aspects of demodectic mange. This work was carried out through literature searches made in books, internet, papers, theses, to guide the search. To achieve the objectives of the research, it was decided to descriptive and exploratory approach. The demodectic mange is a very common disease in the veterinary clinic, is caused by Demodex mite.The demodectic mange is a disease that inflames the skin of dogs and cats due to the amount of mites on the skin. All skin disease needs to be investigated and evaluated in detail, as well, will be able to discover the causes, symptoms, how to diagnose and how to treat. Many dogs had to be euthanized because of illness, because they could not cure nor control the disease. The pathology is confused with other skin diseases because of similar symptoms and skin infection. Currently, the gene is evaluated, the underlying disease and immunology, which aids in good recovery due to animal research. It is a common disease, but can have a severe state. Therefore, through the use of drugs considered as effective in the treatment of demodectic mange (amitraz, moxidectin and ivermectin), there is the possibility of 80% to 90% cure.

    (Universidade Brasil, 2020) Scavazini, Claudineia Brito dos Santos; Pinheiro, Juliana Heloisa Pinê Américo
    The increase in people with chronic or acute renal failure, which is the loss of renal function, affects all ages and race. These patients undergo a treatment called hemodialysis, which is the filtering of blood by a mechanical process, through a dialyser connected to the patient through an arteriovenous fistula or a catheter, the hemodialysis unit of the Regional Hospital of Ilha Solteira has 19 machines, serves 83 patients. The water used in hemodialysis must be pure, therefore it must be subjected to a specific treatment carried out by devices such as deionizers, mechanical filters, softeners, activated carbon filters and reverse osmosis. This treatment is expensive and has a high risk of contamination. The objective of the present work is to evaluate the quality of the water used in hemodialysis at the Regional hospital in the municipality of Ilha Solteira, in the year 2017. The interest in observing, evaluating the monitoring of water quality in a dialysis clinic in a public hospital, in municipality of Ilha Solteira (SP), was due to the knowledge of the relevant legislation and the concern to verify compliance with it. Therefore, it is also important to know the entire process of water treatment used in the Hemodialysis unit. Visits were made to the hospital with photographic records of all the equipment that makes the water treatment for hemodialysis, with observations and reading of the data recorded in the unit's database. The methodology used was descriptive research and data collection in the hemodialysis sector records of the hospital under study. Four sample points were defined for analysis. The data obtained met the standard for parameter of heterotrophic bacteria. No thermotolerant coliforms were detected. The physicalchemical results showed values compatible with the legislation and indicated a good functioning of the reverse osmosis membrane, avoiding complications to patients.
