    aim: the purpose of this clinical case report was to describe an alternative technique performed to ensure bone regeneration after removing a cystic lesion in the upper jaw. bone defect after cystectomy was filled with autologous fibrin rich clots containing CGF. materials and methods: a 45 years old female patient was suspected to have a cystic lesion with massive bone destruction on the vestibular and palatal walls between teeth 2.2 and 2.3. concentrated growth factor (CGF) was used to cover the defect in order to favourite the bone grow. results: after 12 months, the clinical and radiological follow-up examination showed that the tooth was asymptomatic and that the healing was in progress. conclusions: this article describes a different way to treat a two-wall defect involving both the palatal and buccal bone, after removing a cystic lesion, with the use of CGF as an alternative to traditional use of autologous or heterologous bone. CGF fibrin could promote new bone formation in jaw defects, with benefit to the healing of bone tissue and, thus, is a promising bone repair material

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Local lattice of the charge ordered La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 has been studied by temperature dependent Mn K-edge x-ray absorption measurements, using fluorescence detection method, to explore how the local lattice distortions are associated with the charge ordering in this system. The x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) reveals an abrupt change in the local MnO6 octahedral geometry, across the charge ordering temperature. The extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis shows largely distorted MnO6 octahedra with coexisting Q(3)-type and Q(2)-type of Jahn=Teller (JT) modes at low temperature in the commensurate charge ordered phase. We find that small JT distortions persist also in the charge disordered phase at high temperature
