The human body is made of tissues and organs, and the body is mentioned by biology and medicine based on its anatomical and biomechanical architecture. However, there are different ways of understanding the human body. Based on the assumption that the body is the consistency of the speaker´s body-being, the psychoanalytic theory us that the body is crossed by language and affected by the word. In the field of swallowing disorders, even if it points to the repercussions of the rupture in eating pleasure and the deprivation of gustatory emotions, theoretical-clinical discussions that imply the relationship between body and language are still incipient. This work aimed to discuss the clinical consequences for the care of the dysphagic patient of taking into account the relationship between body and language. The presentation of the clinical case revealed that marks of neurological involvement highlighted the vulnerability imposed by the radical confrontation with the effects of the loss of the previous body condition, placing the subject in front of a malaise that advanced as the loss of the body implied in the loss of their position in language and in the social connection that involves the act of eating. Owing to this scenario, it was essential for evaluating the effectiveness of care to open up a dialogue and pay attention to clinical actions which guide the application of technologies aimed at organic functioning. This step was only possible because there was a recognition that the human body goes beyond the concept of a machine since it is identified with a speaking body.

Cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese and evaluation of content validity of a patient decision aid to help in choosing the feeding route for patients with severe dementia entitled "Making Choices Feeding Options for Patients with Dementia".

The cross-cultural adaptation involved two independent translations, synthesis of translations, two independent back-translations, their synthesis, and pretest with 30 caregivers. Content validation was based on analyzes of 35 Brazilian specialists (physicians, speech-language therapists and nurses experienced in caring for patients with severe dementia) through measures of content validity index and concordance between multiple judges by Fleiss' kappa.

The level of comprehension of the instrument by caregivers in the pretest was almost perfect. The specialists committee considered the contents of the instrument valid, in a statistically significant way.

The patient decision aid in Brazilian Portuguese entitled "Fazendo escolhas opções de alimentação para pacientes com demência" obtained evidence of cross-cultural equivalence and content validity for use in the Brazilian population. Further studies are needed to assess its effects on the decision-making process in our population.

To investigate the influence of photobiomodulation associated with orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) in patients with temporomandibular muscle disorders (TMD).

Randomized, blinded trial clinical study with a sample of eleven women with muscle TMD divided into two groups. The experimental group (EG) consisted of five women submitted to orofacial myofunctional therapy associated with photobiomodulation, and the control group (CG) consisted of six women submitted to orofacial myofunctional therapy associated with inactive photobiomodulation (placebo). The intervention was performed in the following twelve sessions one evaluation, ten speech therapy sessions associated with photobiomodulation, and one reevaluation. For outcomes, investigation on pain perception using the visual analogue scale (VAS), investigation of palpation sensitivity with the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD), and quality of life (QOL) verification through oral health impact profile - short form (OHIP-14) were considered.

The EG increased measurements of mandibular movements of opening and protrusion and improved in the evaluation of QOL.

Orofacial myofunctional therapy, when associated with photobiomodulation, contributed to increase the range of mandibular movements, with important improvements in the perception of quality of life and with significant improvement in the painful conditions of volunteers with TMD.

The introduction of Aedes albopictus in South America and Argentina acquires importance given the possibility that this species may be a new vector of arboviruses in this region. For this reason, the studies of the biology of their parasites, such as Ascogregarina spp., should be important for the knowledge of the invasive behavior of these vectors. We reported the finding of Ascogregarina culicis in Aedes aegypti and Ascogregarina sp. in Ae. albopictus populations in subtropical Argentina. The prevalence of parasitism by A. Entinostat culicis in Ae. aegypti and Ascogregrarina sp. in Ae. albopictus was 34.81% (n = 464) and 37.23% (n = 70), respectively, differing between the seasons and habitats. The infection intensity caused by A. culicis and Ascogregarina sp. varied between 1 to 250 and 1 to 327 trophozoites respectively. Ascogregarina culicis was found throughout the all sampling period of Ae. aegypti (June 2016-April 2018). However the presence of Ascogregarina sp. in the midgut of Ae. albopictus was not recorded throughout the whole sampling period despite the presence of the host.Rimapenaeus constrictus is a penaeid shrimp widely distributed in the Western Atlantic, frequently captured as bycatch in trawling activities. Here we describe the weight vs. carapace length relationship and the condition factor of the species. Shrimps were sampled in the Ubatuba region, northern littoral of São Paulo State, monthly. We analyzed 4,952 individuals (1,371 males and 3,581 females). We measured the individuals' weight and carapace length, and the condition factor (CF) was calculated for both sexes. Females had a heavier body when compared to males, probably due to their greater maximum body size achieved. Both sexes presented a negative allometric growth in weight, probably due to their reproductive pattern and activities. We found similar mean CF values for males and females. From temporal analysis, the highest CF values for females were observed during the seasons with lower water temperatures. Such a situation may happen because females' CF tend to be influenced by a greater food availability in the environment, induced by the intrusion of the South Atlantic Central Water during the spring and early summer in the Ubatuba.
