    Janus emulsions of bixa orellana oil
    (Taylor & francis inc, 2016) Leonardi, Gislaine Ricci; Silva, Marina Martines [UNIFESP]; Guimaraes, Carina Moreira [UNIFESP]; Perrechil, Fabiana de Assis [UNIFESP]; Friberg, Stig
    Janus emulsions of the oil from the Bixa orellana (BO) nut, silicone oil (SO), and an aqueous solution of Tween 80 were prepared by intense mixing and optical microscopy images were obtained of the drops. The results showed the expected disordered emulsion of large SO drops with a number of attached smaller drops of the vegetable oil, whose images were transformed to regular Janus drops by the shear, when the cover glass was applied. The drops with a large BO/SO volume ratio did not immediately form well-defined and topologically equal Janus drops due to kinetic factors. The microscopy image was used to evaluate the correct angles and radii by a mathematical rotation to form an image with a straight-line contact line.

    Oral physiology and quality of life in cancer patients
    (Aula Medica Ediciones, 2015-05-01) Pereira, Luciano J.; Caputo, Junior Braga; Castelo, Paula Midori [UNIFESP]; Andrade, Eric Francelino; Marques, Leandro Silva; Paiva, Saul Martins de; Pereira, Stela Marcia; Pereira, Cassio Vicente; Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA); Lavras Univ Ctr; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Fed Univ Jequitinhonha & Mucuri Valleys; Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)
    Introduction: Cancer treatment can affect the health of the teeth and support structures, which are essential to the chewing process, which may change the nutritional status of the patient.Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of oral physiology changes on quality of life (QoL) of patients submitted to cancer treatment.Design: Initially 84 cancer patients were screened and only those presenting at least 15 natural teeth were selected for oral physiology and quality of life tests. the final sample comprised 30 patients. Twenty subjects were selected as controls paired by age and gender. Dental caries status, salivary flow, masticatory performance (MP), location of tumor, duration of chemo and radiotherapy and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref) questionnaire were assessed. Linear regression models were used to test the relationship between the WHOQOL-bref domains (physical, psychological, social relationship, environmental and overall QoL) and independent variables under study.Results and Discussion: Number of teeth, MP and salivary flow were lower in cancer patients, as well as for the scores obtained in Social Relationship, Environment and Overall QoL domains (p<0.050). Breast cancer caused a negative impact on Psychological (p<0.001) and Overall QoL scores (p=0.017). A similar negative effect was found for the duration of radiotherapy on Psychological (p=0.012) and Environmental (p=0.039) domains. On the other hand, the maintenance of teeth had a positive impact on Psychological (p=0.012) and Environmental (p=0.024) scores.Conclusion: Oral physiology changes may impact the QoL of oncological patients. the maintenance of teeth was of positive importance, especially for the psychological aspects.

    The use of Pierre Bourdieu's distinction concepts in scientific articles studying food and eating: A narrative review
    (Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Sato, Priscila de Morais [UNIFESP]; Gittelsohn, Joel; Unsain, Ramiro Fernandez; Roble, Odilon José; Scagliusi, Fernanda Baeza; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This article reviews and discusses scientific papers on eating practices that have used Pierre Bourdieu's concepts presented in Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste. It aims to synthesize and analyze theoretical and empirical studies on the theme in order to present Bourdieu's contributions to the field, advances in his theories, and directions for future research. Exclusion criteria were: not written in Portuguese, English, Spanish, or French; not published in a peer-reviewed journal; not analyzing food or eating; and not using Bourdieu's concepts as presented in Distinction as the main theoretical framework. In this narrative review, we found 38 articles, which were categorized main themes: food choice and provisioning, taste, social class, food symbolism, the body, and the scientific field of food and eating. The taste of luxury and the taste of necessity were broadly applied on the works found in this review and were observed among the lower and upper classes, manifesting differently in each class. These studies show that while Bourdieu's theories are still highly relevant to understanding contemporary social groups, they may be improved when combined with other frameworks and theorists. We highlight as directions for future research manners in which gender and the environment interact with the habitus and food choices. Finally, this review points to new areas of investigation that may help improve the use of Bourdieu's concepts in exploring health inequalities, such as differences in eating practices and habitus within populations with low socioeconomic status.
