1. The Role of Cartilage-perichondrium Tympanoplasty in the Treatment of Tympanic Membrane Retractions: Systematic Review of the Literature
Abstract Introduction Tympanic retraction is a condition characterized by the displacement of the tympanic membrane toward the structures of the middle ear. Clinically, tympanic retractions can lead to hearing loss, ear discharge and/or ear pain. In most of the cases, however, tympanic retractions are asymptomatic and are found accidentally during an ear, n

2. Optimization of shells modeled using NURBS subjected to a dynamic loading condition
Abstract This study presents an optimization method for the thickness of shell elements subjected to dynamic loads. Structural analyses were carried out using the finite element method. The analyzed domains were modeled using NURBS, and meshes were generated using a transformation of the parametric domain into the geometric domain via a geometric function. T

3. Investigation of the effect of nozzle design on rheological bioprinting properties using computational fluid dynamics
ABSTRACT Bioprinting is the utilization of techniques derived from three-dimensional printing to generate complex biological structures which may replace natural tissues or organs. It employs high spatial resolution deposition of different cell types, growth factors and biomaterials. Those together form bioinks, which are the bioprinting inputs, analogously

4. Energy absorption of aluminum panels subjected to gelatin projectile impact
Abstract Digital image correlation (DIC) method has been widely used on dynamical experiments. This full-field and real-time method can fill in the gap of traditional point-based measurements of typical structures subjected to soft body impact such as bird strike. In order to get further understandings of soft body impact process, the present study analyzed

5. Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast: role in the evaluation of ductal carcinoma in situ
Resumo O carcinoma ductal in situ (CDIS) é uma lesão mamária precursora cujas células malignas não ultrapassam a membrana basal e possui risco de evolução para doença maligna. Sua detecção precoce aumentou com a mamografia de rastreamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre as principais apresentações do CDIS na

6. Influence of sintering temperature on the development of alumina membrane shaped by centrifugal casting for gas separation
Abstract The development of ceramic membranes for the most diverse separation processes has gained high visibility, mainly due to their better performance in harsh environments in comparison to polymeric materials. Among the different techniques used to prepare tubular ceramic membranes, the centrifugal casting (CC) is interesting for obtaining highly homoge

7. Expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue
Abstract Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) act in the proteolysis of basement membrane and extracellular matrix structures, facilitating tumor invasion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between these proteins and clinicopathological parameters in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (SCCOT). Si

8. Peeling the onion: the outer layers of Cryptococcus neoformans
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is ubiquitous in the environment. It causes a deadly meningitis that is responsible for over 180,000 deaths worldwide each year, including 15% of all AIDS-related deaths. The high mortality rates for this infection, even with treatment, suggest a need for improved therapy. Unique characteristic

9. CspB of an arctic bacterium, Polaribacter irgensii KOPRI 22228, confers extraordinary freeze-tolerance
ABSTRACT Freezing temperatures are a major challenge for life at the poles. Decreased membrane fluidity, uninvited secondary structure formation in nucleic acids, and protein cold-denaturation all occur at cold temperatures. Organisms adapted to polar regions possess distinct mechanisms that enable them to survive in extremely cold environments. Among the co

10. Water deficit modifies the carbon isotopic composition of lipids, soluble sugars and leaves of Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (Fabaceae)
ABSTRACT Water deficit is most frequent in forest physiognomies subjected to climate change. As a consequence, several tree species alter tissue water potential, gas exchange and production of carbon compounds to overcome damage caused by water deficiency. The working hypothesis, that a reduction in gas exchange by plants experiencing water deficit will affe

11. Tailored Silica Nanoparticles Surface to Increase Drug Load and Enhance Bactericidal Response
Nanoparticles' surface properties can be used as triggers to regulate or even enhance biological response and generate tailored structures to substitute conventional antibiotics. Here, silica nanoparticles surface was duly tuned in order to increase the water-insoluble drug load (curcumin) and improve the antibacterial activity. Our main motivation was based

12. How does the nectar of stomata-free nectaries cross the cuticle?
ABSTRACT In many glandular structures, departure from the cell is only one step in the process of exudate release to the plant surface. Here the set of events that lead nectar to the external environment is presented and discussed mainly for stomata-free nectaries. After being synthesized, the nectar or some of its component needs to be released to the envir
