TL;DR: A study on the impact of pain in patients with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) was carried out in this article, where the authors concluded that pain from TMD has a negative impact on the patients' life quality and that although unspecific, the questionnaire used allowed for an adequate evaluation of the impact.
Abstract: A study on the impact of pain in patients with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) was carried out. Twenty two patients (20 women, two men, 28 years of age on average) with TMD who looked for specialized physiotherapy care were submitted to a brazilian version of McGill Pain Questionnaire (Br-MPQ), which includes questions about life quality, as follows: 1) social loss; 2) daily life activities; 3) third party’s perception; 4) pain tolerance; 5) sensation of being sick; 6) sensation of being useless; 7) life satisfaction. The results showed that pain related to the TMD significantly affected work activities (59.09%), school activities (59.09%), sleeping (68.18%) and appetite/feeding (63.64%). The authors conclude that pain from TMD has a negative impact on the patients’ life quality and that, although unspecific, the questionnaire used allowed for an adequate evaluation of the impact.

TL;DR: The adsorption isotherms of MCl(2) and FeCl(3) by silica gel chemically modified with benzimidazole molecules were studied in ethanol solution and the material was applied in the preconcentration of metal ions from commercial ethanol normally used as engine fuel.

TL;DR: The results suggest that an endurance training program combined with LLLT leads to a greater reduction in fatigue than an Endurance training program without L LLT.
Abstract: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has shown efficacy in muscle bioenergetic activation and its effects could influence the mechanical performance of this tissue during physical exercise. This study tested whether endurance training associated with LLLT could increase human muscle performance in isokinetic dynamometry when compared to the same training without LLLT. The primary objective was to determine the fatigue index of the knee extensor muscles (FIext) and the secondary objective was to determine the total work of the knee extensor muscles (TWext). Included in the study were 45 clinically healthy women (21 ± 1.78 years old) who were randomly distributed into three groups: CG (control group), TG (training group) and TLG (training with LLLT group). The training for the TG and TLG groups involved cycle ergometer exercise with load applied to the ventilatory threshold (VT) for 9 consecutive weeks. Immediately after each training session, LLLT was applied to the femoral quadriceps muscle of both lower limbs of the TLG subjects using an infrared laser device (808 nm) with six 60-mW diodes with an energy of 0.6 J per diode and a total energy applied to each limb of 18 J. VT was determined by ergospirometry during an incremental exercise test and muscle performance was evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer at 240°/s. Only the TLG showed a decrease in FIext in the nondominant lower limb (P = 0.016) and the dominant lower limb (P = 0.006). Both the TLG and the TG showed an increase in TWext in the nondominant lower limb (P < 0.001 and P = 0.011, respectively) and in the dominant lower limb (P < 0.000 and P < 0.000, respectively). The CG showed no reduction in FIext or TWext in either lower limb. The results suggest that an endurance training program combined with LLLT leads to a greater reduction in fatigue than an endurance training program without LLLT. This is relevant to everyone involved in sport and rehabilitation.
