• Abstract

  Current scientific evidences highlight to the negative effects of antidepressants on bone tissue, causing a significant decrease in bone mass. However, the effects of the use of this medication on the fracture healing require further investigations, especially at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study will be to analyze bone and fracture callus quality in rats submitted to the u…

• Abstract

  Femoral bone tissue quality and post-fracture callus will be assessed in rats with diabetes induced by streptozotocin. Rats will be treated or not by insulin and sodium pamidronate and parathyroid hormone (PTH) and randomly assessed to 11 groups: (1) diabetic rats; (2) diabetic rats under control by insulin; (3) control rats submitted to bone fracture; (4) diabetic rats submitted to bone …

• Abstract

  There has been an increasing interest on the investigation of the influence of physical activity on bone metabolism and osteopenia. Efforts to reduce bone loss can be carried out with the use of calcium, drugs and hormones. However, regular physical activity can maintain or even to increase the bone mass. Objective: to analyze and to compare the effects of specific physical activities suc…

• Abstract

  Malnutrition has repercussions on all organs and systems but is extremely damaging when it happens to children, because the residual effects persist throughout life, even if the individual is nourished again. This impact is greater when it reaches the fetus, due to maternal malnutrition. Although visibly affected, malnutrition in the developing skeleton is still poorly studied. The object…

• Abstract

  Background: Idiopathic clubfoot is the most common congenital deformity of the feet. It should be treated early in the newborn with manipulations and successive plastered immobilizations, followed by percutaneous tenotomy of the tendon of Achilles (Ponseti Method). Then, there is a need to use an orthosis to decrease the recurrence rate. Classically, Denis Browne's orthosis is recommended…

• Abstract

  Malnutrition occurs due to general or specific depletion of essential nutrients and has a high prevalence worldwide. It affects several organs, with greater impact in children, in which the impairments may persist for their entire life, even if normal nutrition is restored. Although the effects of malnutrition on the individual development is quite evident, little is known about its reper…
