Skin aging is a multifactorial process that involves structural alterations in the extracellular matrix, reduced fibroblast activity, and decreased synthesis of collagen and elastin. In response to these changes, aesthetic biomedicine has advanced in the development of regenerative therapies capable of restoring skin integrity and functionality. Among these technologies, collagen biostimulators and polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) stand out, as they present distinct and complementary mechanisms...

This study analyzes the structural performance of a mixed-construction retaining wall located in João Monlevade, Minas Gerais, with the aim of identifying the causes of the instability observed in the structure. The investigation was carried out through a technical site visit, field data collection, interviews, geotechnical analyses, and structural modeling using the software Ftool®, PCalc-1.4®, Excel®, and FlexCisTor®. The research assessed the behavior of the masonry panels, columns, cappin...

Diabetes Mellitus stands out as a public health problem, being one of the most significant non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs), and occurs in parallel with the increase in obesity and sedentary lifestyles in the population, mostly due to poor diet and lack of physical activity. The objective of this research is to answer the following question: does the ILIB technique demonstrate similar efficacy to local low-intensity laser therapy in promoting wound healing in patients with plantar ulc...

Peripheral facial palsy (PFP), also known as Bell's palsy (BP), is characterized by unilateral facial immobility. Its etiology is considered idiopathic, and it is reported with weakness, taste abnormalities, paresthesia in the cheek on the affected side, hyperacusis, and pain behind the ear. In this context, this study seeks to understand the effects of laser therapy on the symptoms of Bell's palsy. This study comprises a systematic literature review. Data was obtained through scientific...

The Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) can be understood as a persistent pattern of disrespect and violation of the rights of others. Individuals with family history of the disorder present a greater predisposition, but its development is not determined solely by this factor, as it is also influenced by biological, psychological, and social aspects. The general objective was to analyze how the traits of ASPD can be influenced and intensified by biopsychosocial factors. The specific o...

This article investigates the relationship between obstetric violence and the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms in maternal mental health, with an emphasis on psychological frameworks. The research starts from the historical contextualization of obstetric violence, highlighting the transition from home birth to hospital birth and the consequent increase in dehumanized practices, such as interventions without consent, negligence, and disrespect, often normalize...

There is no subject without a body for Psychoanalysis; therefore, this study investigated how the subject marked by physical disability relates to their body and constructs their body image, based on the question: how does the psychoanalytic notion of the body contribute to understanding this experience? Inserted in a neoliberal culture that values functionality and categorizes bodies according to medical science as typical or atypical, the study drew on the transmission of Freud, Lacan,...

Population aging has intensified the challenges of caring for older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition that gradually impairs cognitive functions and requires constant supervision. In this context, the caregiver — often a family member — plays an essential role but faces physical and emotional overload, social isolation, and psychological distress. This study analyzes the impact of Alzheimer’s disease on caregivers mental health and the coping strat...

This study aims to analyze the indiscriminate use and consequences of the drug Zolpidem Hemitartrate, especially among the social classes that use it most frequently. The duration of drug use and the occurrence of adverse reactions were analyzed, based on related scientific articles, for the purpose of preparing a Final Course Project (TCC). The research addressed the implications of the indiscriminate use of zolpidem through an exploratory literature review that examines not only the si...

This study explored nephrotoxicity associated with the indiscriminate use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the elderly, constituting a public health problem. An integrative review of the scientific literature was conducted using the PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, focusing on national publications from 2020 to 2025, in Portuguese and in full text, employing the descriptors "antiinflammatory drugs," "nephrotoxicity," "elderly," "renal function," and "NSAID...

This study analyzed the causes and possible solutions for failures in the transportation of metal billets in a steel industry in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The central problem identified refers to the recurrent dropping of billets during handling by overhead cranes equipped with electromagnets, an event that compromised operational safety and productive efficiency. The objective of this work was to investigate the technical causes of these failures—such as component wear, electrical instabili...

This study analyzes the technical and safety impacts resulting from the absence or inadequacy of grounding systems in residential electrical installations. The high incidence of fatal accidents related to failures in these systems justifies the research, considering the importance of grounding in protecting people and equipment. The adopted methodology consists of a bibliographic and documentary review, with a descriptive and explanatory approach, based on the ABNT NBR 5410 standards and...
