Antimicrobial Activity on and of Ethanolic Extracts.

Oral diseases are one of the biggest public health problems worldwide, caused by opportunistic pathogens such as and . (priprioca) is a plant conventionally used in traditional medicine in the Amazon region. However, little is known about the possible dentistry-related uses of extracts from the rhizomes and solid waste generated by the extraction of essential oils from this vegetable.

A Manycore Vision Processor for Real-Time Smart Cameras.

Real-time image processing and computer vision systems are now in the mainstream of technologies enabling applications for cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, augmented reality, and Industry 4.0. These applications bring the need for Smart Cameras for local real-time processing of images and videos.

Third Molar Displacement into Submandibular Space.

There are various accidents and complications that may occur during extraction of dental elements. The displacement of dental elements to other facial spaces is one kind of the possible complications, and there may be significant physical and psychological results for the patient. The treatment for this kind of occurrence may vary from a conservative technique to surgical procedure, what will depend on clinical characteristics, symptoms, the location of the dental element, and its relation to adjacent structures.

Improved tribo-mechanical behavior of CaP-containing TiO2 layers produced on titanium by shot blasting and micro-arc oxidation.

The combination of shot blasting (SB) and micro-arc oxidation (or anodic oxidation--AO) in titanium surfaces was shown to provide enhanced conditions for cell differentiation and osseointegration than those provided by SB or AO alone. This study associated both methods aiming to attain titania layers on Ti with adequate tribo-mechanical features for bone implants. SB was performed using alumina particles, and titania layers were grown by AO using a CaP-based electrolyte.

Phenolic constituents and antioxidant capacity of four underutilized fruits from the Amazon region.

The Amazon region comprises a plethora of fruit-bearing species of which a large number are still agriculturally unimportant. Because fruit consumption has been attributed to an enhanced physical well-being, interest in the knowledge of the chemical composition of underexplored exotic fruits has increased during recent years. This paper provides a comprehensive identification of the polyphenolic constituents of four underutilized fruits from the Amazon region by HPLC/DAD-ESI-MS(n).
