Objective: The objective of the present literature review was to compare the success rate of restorations made with glass ionomer cement and composite resin in the deciduous teeth.

The vanadate apatite containing gallium has been synthesized. As intended, gallium is not chemically fixed in the HA–V crystal matrix because of the differences in the ionic radii and charges of Ca and Ga. The latter is distributed homogeneously in the sample without any compositional variations. It was concluded that in vivo, before the vanadate host dissolves completely, the ionic form of Ga3+ would be accessible to perform its strengthening action on the bone.

Introduction: Parents who are deaf and hearing-impaired go through various difficulties when they need care for their child in some public sector.

A asma é uma doença crônica comum e heterogênea, caracterizada por episódios recorrentes de falta de ar, no qual os sintomas podem ocorrer de forma contínua ou intermitente. O tratamento farmacológico ainda é o mais indicado, porem ações não farmacológicas como o treinamento muscular inspiratórios e a estabilização torácica através do uso do Kinesio Tape estão sendo utilizadas para melhoria das funções pulmonares e da capacidade funcional de pacientes asmáticos.

Socioeconomic status (SES) strongly impacts cardiovascular health. Increasing evidence demonstrated area deprivation is an independent indicator of cardiovascular risks such as increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rates. Intervention at area-level of SES could achieve better effects in reducing risk factors and improving access to cardiac facilities.

Aging begins before birth and continues throughout life at different rates, in different races for different individuals and for different tissues of the body. Explaining why ageing occurs is a solution to the longstanding enigma of the role of senescence in nature and even after half a century of progress, the solution continues to unfold slowly but steadily. The healthcare professionals must prepare themselves to equip the above 50 years citizens to achieve healthy aging in a systematic fashion.
