The delay of bone repair can induce deficiencies, incapacities and socioeconomic problems. Thus, strategies of normalization and acceleration of the regeneration process are widely investigated. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the techniques using bone guided regeneration with membranes based in latex and collagen and fibrin sealant grafting in the consolidation…
The aim of this project is to evaluate the relationship between fat mass and bone tissue and bone loss. This project will be divided into two steps, being: 1) preliminary to investigate the effects of high fat diet in Wistar rats infant (21 days) during growth until sexual maturation stage. This step will consist of 2 groups: PAD (fed with standard diet) and HIP (fed with high fat diet) a…
Spinal cord is a chronic affliction, with high incidence, that causes permanent and irreversible functional consequences in patients. This disease has many complications that reduces life quality and increases morbidly and mortality. The complications affect many organs and systems, as muscle-skeletal system. Osteopenia and osteoporosis are skeletal complications, but its physiopathology …

Femoral fractures, especially in the proximal region, in the elderly represent a great impact on public health and are mainly associated with falls due to osteoporosis. With the advancement of the life expectancy of the population, the number of fractures has increased. Although the knowledge on the mechanical behavior of the bone structure is not fully explored, it is noted the importanc…
Bone healing is a complex process involving specific steps. When these are not well performed, they may compromise the bone composition. One of the factors that cause osteometabolic changes in bone healing is osteoporosis. Due to the problems of regeneration of the bone tissue, several resources have been developed to improve the tissue recomposition of the bone. The natural latex membran…
Obesity is considered a major public health challenge because it presents a multifactorial etiology with metabolic, genetic, environmental, social and cultural interactions. Faced with this fact, the rate of the overweight and obese population is a problem that increasingly affects the whole world. The most well-known reason is due to the excessive consumption of hypercaloric foods and th…

One of the major areas of Engineering is the area of Image Processing and Image Analysis. For the community is extremely important, because techniques and methods of processing and image analysis are used in different fields, one of which is the area of health. Images often used in experimental research related to biomedicine are those obtained for scanning electron microscopic(SEM). Howe…
