RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Peripheral nerves transmit nerve signals between periphery and the spinal cord or brain stem. Its function can be compromised by trauma to the nerve, such as those that occur in surgical procedures such as orthognathic surgery. Depending on the type of injury, treatment may be proposed, but this is still a controversial point in literature. Alternative methods that assist in the treatment of paresthesia should be studied, and in this context, selegiline hydrochloride seems to be a promising drug. AIM: Based on the above, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of selegiline hydrochloride in the treatment of facial sensory changes resulting from nerve injuries in patients undergoing maxillary orthognathic surgery. METHODS: This was a double-blind randomized clinical trial with the voluntary participation of individuals who underwent orthognathic surgery. The facial sensitivity of these patients was evaluated by 2-point discrimination tests and directional perception in the region related to the lower alveolar nerve. Tests were comparatively applied at times T0 (before surgery), T8 (8 days after surgery), T15 (15 days after surgery), T30 (30 days after surgery), T60 (60 days after surgery), and T90 (90 days after surgery). RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 31.14 years. With the comparative analysis of the 2-point static test on the chin, difference was observed between groups at times T15 (P = 0.007), T30 (P = 0.010), and T90 (P = 0.027) in the intergroup evaluation. Regarding results of the comparative analysis of the 2-point static test on the lip, difference was observed between groups at times T30 (P = 0.023), T60 (P < 0.001), and T90 (P = 0.005) in the intergroup evaluation. In the direction test on the chin, difference was observed between groups at times T30 (P = 0.015), T60 (P = 0.001), and T90 (P < 0.001) in the intergroup evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: Selegiline hydrochloride has shown promising results in the treatment of neurosensory disorders resulting from maxillary orthognathic surgery.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the available evidence to identify the influence of pterygomaxillary disjunction on the result of surgically assisted maxillary expansion. BACKGROUND: LeFort I type osteotomy with disjunction of the pterygomaxillary suture is a procedure widely used in maxillofacial surgery. However, the need for its performance during surgically assisted maxillary expansions has been discussed in literature, since serious complications can be caused during this stage. REVIEW RESULTS: Systematic review of articles was performed using three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane) published until May 2019. After applying the selection criteria, five articles were included in the systematic review, with a total of 141 patients. Meta-analysis showed the absence of significant difference between intervention and control groups in the preoperative period (standardized mean difference = -0.28; confidence interval, CI 95% = -0.81, 0.26; p = 0.31) and postoperative period (standardized mean difference = -0.12; 95% CI = -0.65, 0.42; p = 0.66). In general, the heterogeneity of statistical estimates was low (I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION: No statistically significant difference was observed between control group (without pterygomaxillary disjunction) and intervention group (with pterygomaxillary disjunction). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Based on the data analyzed in this systematic review, it could be concluded that pterygomaxillary disjunction is not a mandatory step to achieve satisfactory maxillary expansion. Thus, not performing pterygomaxillary disjunction can prevent complications and reduce surgical time.

The objective was to evaluate effects of neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility and level of fresh sugarcane on intake, body fatness, carcass characteristics, and rumen kinetics and fermentation of beef cattle. Forty-eight Nellore young bulls were used in a complete randomized block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Eight rumen-cannulated Nellore steers were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design. Two sugarcane genotypes divergent for stalk NDF digestibility (NDFD) were used. Experimental diets were formulated with 20 or 40% of sugarcane on a dry matter (DM) basis. High-NDFD genotype associated with the lower level of roughage in the diet promoted greater DM intake, resulting in greater body gain. Sugarcane with high-NDFD increased final body weight, hot carcass weight, and back-fat thickness. Animals receiving the genotype with high NDFD had greater rump-fat thickness only with 40% sugarcane in the diet. Animals receiving the low-NDFD genotype at 20% of the diet had lower NDF passage rate. Rumen pH was greater for diets with greater NDF content. There was greater proportion of butyrate in the rumen of animals receiving diets with greater NDF content. In conclusion, high-NDFD sugarcane increased final body and carcass weight, HCW, and fat thickness. When associated with lower inclusion of roughage in the diet, it can also increase DM intake and body weight gain of beef cattle.

Plasmablastic lymphoma is a very rare B-cell lymphoma typically associated with immunosuppression: It occurs primarily in the oral cavity, although some cases were reported in other organs and tissues.To date, only 10 cases of primary cutaneous plasmablastic lymphoma have been described. Clinically, primary cutaneous plasmablastic lymphoma presents as non-specific cutaneous lesions (purple nodules, erythematous infiltrated plaques). In previously described cases, as in this case, histology and immunohistochemistry are required to make the diagnosis. Owing to the rarity of this entity, there is no established therapy, which makes its management an individualized, patient-based decision.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sugarcane neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD), conservation method, and concentrate level on the ruminal microbial population of steers. Eight ruminal-cannulated Nellore steers were distributed in two contemporary 4 × 4 Latin Square design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Experiment 1: diets were formulated with 60% of concentrate level, and two sugarcane genotypes (high or low NDFD) either freshly cut or as silage. Experiment 2: diets were formulated with two levels of concentrate (60 or 80%), and two sugarcane genotypes (high or low NDFD) offered as freshly cut. Each experimental period lasted for 14 d, with the last 4 d used for ruminal fluid collection. Three cellulolytic bacteria (Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus albus, Ruminococcus flavefaciens), two amylolytic (Streptococcus bovis, Ruminobacter amylophilus), and a lactate fermenting microorganism (Megasphaera elsdenii) were quantified by qPCR. Experiment 1: diets with fresh sugarcane increased the population of S. bovis, and M. elsdenii. Sugarcane with high NDFD increased F. succinogenes population only when sugarcane was offered as freshly cut. Experiment 2: increasing concentrate in the diet decreased S. bovis population, and increased R. amylophilus. Sugarcane with high NDFD increased the population of cellulolytic bacteria only at the 60% concentrate diet. Providing sugarcane with high NDFD favored the growth of fibrolytic bacteria, and this effect were dependent on the conservation method and on diet concentrate level. In addition, sucrose appears to have great effect on the composition of ruminal microflora, especially S. bovis.
RESUMEN
Introdução: A preservação do nervo facial (NF) é uma das principais preocupações do cirurgião durante o tratamento aberto das fraturas mandibulares, uma vez que uma lesão nessa estrutura anatômica pode causar sequelas estéticas e funcionais permanentes. A existência de variações anatômicas (anastomoses e ramificações incomuns) aumenta o risco de danos no NF, mesmo nas mãos de cirurgiões experientes. O neuromonitoramento intraoperatório tem-se mostrado um grande aliado para evitar lesões nos ramos nervosos que podem estar envolvidos na área cirúrgica. Considerando a escassez desse assunto na literatura referente à cirurgia maxilo-facial, objetivamos demonstrar o uso da técnica de neuromonitoração do NF durante o acesso submandibular para o tratamento da fratura bilateral do ângulo mandibular. Relato de caso: No presente relato de caso, as abordagens cirúrgicas de ambos os lados não apresentaram danos permanentes ao NF. Esse resultado assim como a literatura sugerem que o neuromonitoramento intraoperatório proporciona maior segurança durante a realização de abordagens cirúrgicas, nas quais os ramos do nervo facial estão envolvidos, reduzindo, assim, o risco de sequelas nervosas. Considerações Finais: Esse recurso pode ser de grande auxílio no treinamento hospitalar ao longo do processo de formação de cirurgiões bucomaxilofaciais... (AU)
Introduction: Facial nerve (FN) preservation is one of the surgeon's major concerns during the open treatment of mandibular fractures since an injury to this anatomical structure can cause permanent aesthetic and functional sequelae. The existence of anatomical variations (anastomosis and unusual branching) increases the risk of FN damage even in the hands of experienced surgeons. Intraoperative neuromonitoring has proven to be a great ally to avoid injury to the nerve branches that may be involved in the surgical area. Considering the scarcity of this subject in the maxillofacial surgery literature, we aimed to demonstrate the use of the FN neuromonitoring technique during the submandibular approach for the treatment of bilateral mandibular angle fracture. Case report: In the present case report, the surgical approaches of both sides presented no permanent damage to the FN. Results: This result, as well as previous literature, suggests that intraoperative neuromonitoring provides greater safety during the performance of surgical approaches in which the facial nerve branches are involved and thus, reduces the risk of nerve sequelae. Final considerations: This resource can be of special assistance in teaching hospitals throughout the training process of maxillofacial surgeons... (AU)

A extração do terceiro molar é um procedimento comum dentro da área cirúrgica da odontologia e, como todo procedimento dessa natureza, está sujeito a intercorrências e complicações como hemorragias, trismo e infecções. Os abscessos de origem odontogênica são casos comumente encontrados nos atendimentos de urgências odontológicas e quando bem tratados geralmente evoluem com melhora do quadro, porém essa infecção pode evoluir com disseminação para espaços faciais e cervicais, acarretando piora do quadro e podendo levar o paciente a óbito. O objetivo desse relato é descrever um caso clínico de abscesso retrofaríngeo, por origem de foco odontogênico, ressaltando suas particularidades e a importância do diagnóstico precoce para controle e resolução do caso. Conclui-se que é importante uma rápida intervenção e acompanhamento multidisciplinar em um serviço de referência estruturado e capaz de fazer evoluir o caso com suporte e segurança (AU).
Third molar extractions are frequent procedures within the surgical area of dentistry and, like any procedure of this nature, these extractions are susceptible to intercurrences and complications such as hemorrhages, trismus and infections. Abscesses of odontogenic origin are common in dental emergency services. When well treated, they usually evolve with improvement of the condition, but these infections can also evolve with dissemination to facial and cervical spaces, leading to condition worsening and even death. The objective of this report is to describe a clinical case of a retropharyngeal abscess of odontogenic origin, highlighting its particularities and the importance of early diagnosis for the control and resolution of the case. It was concluded that a rapid intervention and multidisciplinary follow-up is important in a structured reference service capable of evolving the case with support and security (AU).

Introdução: A remoção dos terceiros molares pode causar transtornos e prejuízos à qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes submetidos à exodontia de terceiros molares, discutindo os eventos mais comumente observados. Material e Método: Sessenta pacientes de uma Clínica Privada de Cirurgia, da cidade de João Pessoa-PB, foram submetidos à exodontia de terceiros molares, pelo mesmo operador e em condições semelhantes. Os dados foram coletados em duas etapas: a primeira foi realizada no dia do procedimento, quando foram anotados os dados do paciente, assim como as informações relacionadas à cirurgia. A segunda etapa foi realizada sete dias após o procedimento, quando os pacientes responderam o formulário acerca da qualidade de vida durante o pós-operatório. Resultado: 71,4% dos pacientes submetidos a Osteotomia e Odontossecção mantiveram suas atividades normais, e 28,6% não mantiveram. No entanto, quanto aos pacientes não submetidos às técnicas, 40,9% mantiveram suas atividades normais e 59,1% não mantiveram. De acordo com a classificação de Pell & Gregory, percebeu-se que 71,4% dos pacientes Classe 3 mantiveram suas atividades sociais normalmente, enquanto 60% dos pacientes Posição C não as mantiveram. Dos pacientes que se isolaram socialmente e foram submetidos às técnicas, 71,4% relataram a dor como o principal motivo, e 100% dos pacientes Classe 3 e 80% dos pacientes Posição C optaram pela mesma resposta. Conclusão: Os resultados indicam que as técnicas empregadas no transoperatório não interferem na qualidade de vida do paciente durante o pós-operatório e a posição tem maior influência do que a classe, no que se refere ao desenvolvimento normal das atividades sociais. .

A crescente resistência das leveduras pertencentes ao gênero Candida frente aos antifúngicos sintéticos, atualmente disponíveis no comércio, impulsiona a busca por novos compostos antifúngicos de origem vegetal. Assim, o propósito do presente estudo foi avaliar in vitro a atividade antifúngica dos decoctos de Schinus terebenthifolius Raddi (aroeira) Cinnamomum zeylanicum Breym (canela) e Punica granatum Linn (romã), vendidos por raizeiros em três feiras livres distintas (A, B e C), frente a três espécies de microorganismos do gênero Candida (C. albicans, C. tropicalis e C. krusei). O ensaio para determinação da atividade antifúngica dos produtos naturais foi realizado pelo método da difusão em meio sólido, em triplicata, onde discos de papel de filtro estéreis embebidos em 50 µL dos extratos foram colocados sobre o meio de cultura. Os resultados foram avaliados a partir da mensuração dos diâmetros dos halos de inibição de crescimento fúngico em milímetros (mm), sendo considerada a moda dos valores obtidos. Foi observada atividade antifúngica de S. terebenthifolius Raddi e de C. zeylanicum Breym sobre C. krusei. No entanto, diferenças foram identificadas entre os produtos obtidos nos diferentes locais. O decocto de Punica granatum Linn apresentou atividade antifúngica sobre as três cepas fúngicas utilizadas no estudo. Também foram verificadas diferenças entres os produtos obtidos nas feiras livres, sendo que apenas as amostras de Punica granatum Linn provenientes da feira A foram capazes de inibir o crescimento fúngico de todas as cepas analisadas. Desta forma, conclui-se que todos os produtos avaliados apresentam atividade antifúngica, havendo diferenças relacionadas aos locais de sua obtenção e sensibilidade das cepas ensaiadas(AU)
La resistencia cada vez mayor de levaduras del género candida a los antifúngicos sintéticos disponibles en la actualidad ha llevado a la búsqueda de nuevos compuestos antifúngicos de origen vegetal. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la actividad antifúngica in vitro de decocciones de Schinus terebenthifolius Raddi (pimentero brasileño),Cinnamomum zeylanicum Breym (canela) y Punica granatum Linn (granada) sobre tres especies del género Candida (C. albicans, C . tropicalis y C. krusei). Este material vegetal fue vendido por vendedores de hierbas (raizeiros) en tres ferias callejeras distintas (A, B y C). El ensayo para determinar la actividad antifúngica de los productos se realizó por triplicado. Se empleó el método de difusión en medio sólido, en el que discos de papel de filtro estériles fueron empapados en 50 µL de los extractos y colocados en medio de cultivo. Los datos fueron evaluados mediante la medición de los diámetros de los halos de inhibición del crecimiento fúngico, en milímetros, y se consideró la moda de los valores encontrados. Se observó actividad antifúngica de S. terebinthifolius Raddi y C. zeylanicum Breym contra C. krusei, pero fueron identificadas diferencias entre los productos obtenidos en diferentes lugares. La decocción de Punica granatum Linn presentó actividad antifúngica sobre las tres levaduras en estudio. Además, se encontraron diferencias entre los productos adquiridos en las ferias callejeras, pero sólo las muestras de Punica granatum Linn de la feria A fueron capaces de inhibir el crecimiento de hongos de todas las levaduras analizadas. Todos los productos evaluados mostraron actividad antifúngica, pero hubo diferencias en función de la localidad donde los productos fueron obtenidos y de la sensibilidad a las cepas ensayadas(AU)
An increasing resistance of Candida yeasts to the synthetic antifungals currently available has driven the search for new plant-derived antifungal compounds. In this respect, the present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of decoctions from Schinus terebenthifolius Raddi (Brazilian pepper tree), Cinnamomum zeylanicum Breym (cinnamon) and Punica granatum Linn (pomegranate) against three species of Candida genus (C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. krusei). Such plant material was sold by herb sellers in three distinct street fairs (A, B and C). The test to determine the products antifungal activity was performed in triplicate by means of the diffusion method on solid medium, in which sterile filter paper discs were soaked in 50 µL of the extracts and then placed on culture medium. Data were assessed by measuring the diameters of halos of fungal growth inhibition, in millimeters (mm), and it was considered the mode of the values found. Antifungal activity of S. terebinthifolius Raddi and C. zeylanicum Breym was observed against C. krusei, but were identified differences among the products obtained in different locations. Punica granatum Linn decoction presented antifungal activity on the three yeasts under study. Also, were found differences among the products acquired in the street fairs, but only the samples of Punica granatum Linn from fair A were able to inhibit fungal growth of all yeasts analyzed. Thus, it is concluded that all the products assessed showed antifungal activity, but differences were found depending on the location where these were obtained and on the sensitivity to the strains assayed(AU)

RESUMEN
Dentro da Odontologia, a cirurgia ortognática é um procedimento complexo. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a condição sensitiva e motora facial e estomatognática de pacientes que foram submetidos à cirurgia ortognática. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa do tipo descritiva e exploratória, com procedimentos teóricos bibliográficos e técnica de observação direta extensiva através da aplicação de um formulário. O estudo possui caráter censitário, sendo a população composta por 18 indivíduos de uma clínica particular submetidos à cirurgia ortognática entre 2009 e 2012. Na análise dos dados foi utilizado o SPSS na versão 17.0. Com relação aos resultados, observou-se: 50% eram homens e 50% mulheres; a maioria eram adultos jovens, entre 25 e 30 anos; sendo (27,8%) tendo mais de 6 meses e menos de 1 ano da realização da cirurgia; 33,3% com o principal objetivo cirúrgico o recuo de mandíbula e avanço de maxila; 66,7% sentiram uma melhora na respiração e na dicção após realizada a cirurgia; 38,9% relataram ter ronco antes da cirurgia, porém esse número caiu para 5,5% quando perguntados se sofriam de ronco atualmente; 11,1% apresentaram parestesia em pelo menos 1 quadrante facial e 16,3% apontaram diminuição na intensidade dos toques positivos aos testes táteis e térmicos. Apesar da utilização da técnica cirúrgica correta ainda existe a possibilidade de ocorrerem danos temporários devido ao envolvimento de estruturas nobres e da complexidade cirúrgica.
Within Dentistry, orthognathic surgery is a complex procedure. Thus, in view of the complexity of the surgery, the aim of this study was to evaluate sensibility and motor condition of both the face and stomatognathic system of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery. This is an exploratory descriptive study of quali-quantitative nature, with literature research and direct observation technique by form application. The study sample was composed of 18 individuals from a private clinic who underwent orthognathic surgery between 2009 and 2012. For data analysis the SPSS version 17.0 was used. The results showed that 50% of the patients were men and 50% women, most of them were young adults, between 25 and 30 years; 27.8% had surgery in a period of at least 6 months and no longer that 1 year before this study was conducted; 33.3% had as primary surgical objective the mandibular retreat and maxillary advancement; 66.7% felt an improvement in breathing and diction after surgery; 38.9% reported suffering from snoring before surgery, but this number dropped to 5.5% when asked if they suffered from snoring today; 11.1% had paresthesia in at least one facial quadrant and 16.3% showed decrease in intensity of positive touch to tactile and thermal tests. In spite of using proper surgical technique temporary damages may occur due to engagement of noble structures and the complexity of the surgery.
