Erosion, also known as biocorrosion, is a type of dental wear, promoted by chemical process in absence of bacteria. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of superficial protection and bonding protocols on bond strength to eroded dentin.

Objective: To identify the benefits of shock wave therapy in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy through a systematic review. Materials and methods: A systematic review study, carried out from October to November 2018. In this article, it was included randomized clinical trials with adults of both sexes who have patellar tendinopathy; studies in which the main treatment was based on shock wave therapy compared to no, minimal or other interventions and studies published in scientific journals between 2013 and 2018 without language restriction.

Vein Glue and allergy - is there a significant risk? In a few specialist comments and articles by phlebologically active colleagues is repeatedly warned against the emergence of an allergy to the cyanoacrylate used in the vein glue.

The present research is an integrative review of the literature indexed in two ScieLO databases and MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online).

Being able to accurately predict point or a real precipitation data at unsampled locations or areas using measured precipitation data is important in the work of agriculturists, hydrologists, climatologists, engineers, and others. Precipitation phenomenon is a complicated process due to the spatial variability, uncertainty, and complexity of the meteorological processes underlying its formation.
