TL;DR: A comparison of the conventional and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in teeth with cervical abrasion restored with pink resin that mimics the color of the gingiva found that both techniques were effective in achieving satisfactory and esthetic root coverage.
Abstract: Gingival recession is the most common mucogingival defect, characterized by apical migration of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction and root exposure. Several surgical techniques are reported for the treatment of gingival recession. Here we present a comparison of the conventional (coronally advanced flap) and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in teeth with cervical abrasion restored with pink resin that mimics the color of the gingiva. Although the conventional technique is more predictable, we found that both techniques were effective in achieving satisfactory and esthetic root coverage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the perfil dos conselheiros de quatro conselhos setoriais do Municipio de Santo Andre, Portugal, is presented, with the goal of analyzing the influence of fatores, e conselho's lideranca, on the representação of these fatores.
Abstract: Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o perfil dos conselheiros de quatro conselhos setoriais do Municipio de Santo Andre com a finalidade de compreender de que forma fatores como idade, escolaridade, genero, entre outros, podem influenciar positiva ou negativamente na representividade destes Conselhos. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas e feita analise de documentos internos e atas das reunioes dos conselhos. Os resultados demonstram que, embora existam diferencas no que se refere a escolaridade dos representantes da sociedade civil e do poder publico que poderiam refletir uma correlacao de forcas desigual dentro dos conselhos, os representantes da sociedade civil possuem forte lideranca, o que facilita o retorno das informacoes a sociedade e vice-versa. Conclui-se que, para que os conselhos locais tornem-se um canal de participacao mais equilibrado, e preciso investir na capacitacao dos conselheiros e em mecanismos de incentivo a participacao de jovens.

TL;DR: A abordagem clinica (reeducacao alimentar, atividade fisica e medicamentos) geralmente e ineficaz e, por isso, a cirurgia bariatrica e uma opcao de tratamento e o inicio oficial de um periodo de 1 a 2 anos de mudancas comportamentais, alimentares e de exercicios fisicos.
Abstract: O objetivo do presente estudo e analisar a eficacia da cirurgia bariatrica na reducao de peso corporal e no combate a obesidade morbida. A metodologia utilizada foi o levantamento bibliografico em tres livros e nas bases de dados Medline, Scielo e Lilacs, sendo selecionados 64 artigos, a partir do ano de 1992. Segundo a OMS (Organizacao Mundial de Saude), classifica-se a obesidade considerando-se o IMC (Indice de Massa Corporal) e baseando-se nos riscos de mortalidade independente do genero e idade. A abordagem clinica (reeducacao alimentar, atividade fisica e medicamentos) geralmente e ineficaz e, por isso, a cirurgia bariatrica e uma opcao de tratamento. Sao candidatos para o tratamento cirurgico os pacientes com IMC maior que 40 kg/m2 ou maior/igual a 35kg/m2 com comorbidades associadas. Existem tres tipos de tecnicas cirurgicas: as restritivas, as disabsortivas e as mistas. Pesquisas de campo envolvendo cirurgia bariatrica e reducao de peso corporal mostram que a maior parte da populacao a realizar cirurgia tem entre 37,9 e 39,7 anos; a tecnica cirurgia mais utilizada e gastroplastia com bypass gastrojejunal distal (tipo Fobi-Capella); o periodo medio de acompanhamento de pacientes operados e de 1 a 2 ano pos intervencao cirurgica; e, quanto a perda de peso corporal como efeito da cirurgia bariatrica, foi observada em todos os estudos. A conclusao da cirurgia, entretanto, nao finaliza o tratamento da obesidade. Pelo contrario, e o inicio de um periodo de 1 a 2 anos de mudancas comportamentais, alimentares e de exercicios fisicos.

TL;DR: In this article, Vizeu analyzes the systematically distorted management communication of a department store and finds that these practices are regarded as a refined managerial resource for engendering in the workers a docile and subservient relation with the interests of maximizing economic outcomes.
Abstract: This paper analyzes the systematically distorted management communication of a department store. The attention lies on the communication practices which pursue motivating and controlling the workers. These practices are regarded as a refined managerial resource for engendering in the workers a docile and subservient relation with the interests of maximizing economic outcomes. Methodologically, one used the speech act pragmatic approach, in order to evaluate the discursive forms by manipulating the validity criteria of these acts. The results reveal the dissimulated use of the language with contents reinforcing at competitiveness and aggressiveness. Keywords: Discourse. Distorted Communication. Subjectivity.

TL;DR: Obesity resulted in an increased chance of the mother needing insulin as a complementary treatment to metformin, while FG < 90 mg/dL and primiparity were protective factors.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the factors associated with the need for insulin as a complementary treatment to metformin in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A case-control study was performed from April 2011 to February 2016 with pregnant women with GDM who needed complementary treatments besides diet and physical exercise. Those treated with metformin were compared with those who, in addition to metformin, also needed the combination with insulin. Maternal characteristics and glycemic control were evaluated. Multinomial logistic regression models were developed to evaluate the influence of different therapies on neonatal outcomes. Results A total of 475 pregnant women who needed pharmacological therapy were evaluated. Of these, 366 (77.05%) were submitted to single therapy with metformin, and 109 (22.94%) needed insulin as a complementary treatment. In the analysis of the odds ratio (OR), fasting glucose (FG)<90 mg/dL reduced the odds of needing the combination (OR: 0.438 [0.235-0.815]; p=0.009], as well as primiparity (OR: 0.280 [0.111-0.704]; p=0.007]. In obese pregnant women, an increased chance of needing the combination was observed (OR: 2,072 [1,063-4,039]; p=0,032). Conclusion Obesity resulted in an increased chance of the mother needing insulin as a complementary treatment to metformin, while FG<90 mg/dL and primiparity were protective factors.
