Abstract Introduction Few studies have investigated the relationship between cytokines and dizziness in elderly individuals. Objective To assess levels of inflammatory biomarkers their with quality life (QoL) among individuals dizziness. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study 103 participants (90 women 13 men) who were assessed through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). The plasma measured cytometric bead array (CBA) method. Cross-tabulations Chi-squared...

BACKGROUND: Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is decreased in several musculoskeletal disorders, giving indirect evidence regarding status. Despite the fact that PPT has been already proven to be reliable patients with acute conditions, there great variability of methods and results observed within studies, only a few evidences confirming its reliability chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE: The objective this study was determine test-retest neck low back regions discriminate individuals or from...
Objective: This study used the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) method to evaluate percentage of antioxidant activity (%AA) green tea (GT) and sodium ascorbate (SA) gel in three concentrations (10%, 20% 30%), influence these on microshear bond strength (μ-SBT) values bleached enamel, using 10% carbamide peroxide (CP).Materials methods: Eighty intact third molars were selected perform μ-SBT test, randomly divided into eight experimental groups: G1: positive control – no...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between frequencies DR and DQ HLA class II alleles prevalence dental caries in Brazilian adolescents. sample consisted 164 adolescents aged 15– 19 years. For assessment experience DMFT index used, according World Health Organization criteria.
