Understanding the cause, severity, and elapsed time for the restoration of the functions of maxillofacial injuries can contribute to the establishment of clinical priorities aiming at effective treatment and further prevention of facial trauma. The objective of this study was to understand the factors associated with the restoration of mastication, ocular, and nasal functions in the face of trauma victims, estimating their recovery time after surgical treatment. We analyzed 114 medical records of patients treated at the Hospital Montenegro, who attended follow-up consultations for up to 180 days.

Sodium heparin (HS) was immobilized on the surface of the silk fibroin nanofibers (FS) prepared by electrospinning with the objective of improving the hemocompatibility of the fibers for application as scaffolds in tissue engineering. The nanofiber mats of silk fibroin without (MF-FS) and with (MF-FS/HS) immobilized heparin were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), contact angle, chemical analysis, and biological tests. The formation of hydrogen bonds between the silk fibroin and heparin was discussed based on FTIR-ATR spectra.
