“…Today, worldwide, the number of patients who have been formally indicated for these types of surgeries continues to be high (1,2) . Besides the feeling of loss of the eyeball, the evisceration or enucleation predisposes the individual to esthetic defects such as enophthalmos, deepening of the eyelid superior sulcus, ptosis, incomplete transference of movement to the prosthesis, reduction of the lower fornix, and flaccidity of the lower eyelid (3) .…”

Purpose: To evaluate histologically the integration process of cellulose gel produced by Zoogloea sp when implanted into rabbits' eviscerated eyes. Methods: This experimental study employed 36 eyes of 18 rabbits subjected to evis ceration of their right eyes. The sclerocorneal bag was sutured and filled with biopolymer from sugar cane in the gel state. All animals were clinically examined by biomicroscopy until the day of their sacrifice which occurred on the 7 th , 30 th , 60 th , 90 th , 120 th , or 240 th day. The eyeballs obtained, including the left eyes considered controls were sent for histopathological study by optical macroscopy and microscopy. Tissue staining techniques used included hematoxylin-eosin, Masson trichrome (with aniline), Gomori trichrome, Van Gienson, Picrosirius red, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Results:No clinical signs of infection, allergy, toxicity, or extrusion were observed throughout the experiment. The corneas were relatively preserved. Macroscopic examination revealed a decrease of ~ 8% in the volume of the bulbs implanted with the biopolymer. After cutting, the sclerocorneal bag was solid, compact, elastic, and resistant to traction, with a smooth and whitish surface, and showed no signs of necrosis or liquefaction. The episcleral tissues were somewhat hypertrophied. The histological preparations studied in different colors revealed an initial lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, replaced by a fibroblastic response and proliferation of histiocytes, along with formation of giant cells. Few polymorphonuclearneutrophils and eosinophils were also found. Neovascularization and collagen deposition were present in all animals starting from day 30; although on the 240 th day of the experiment the chronic inflammatory response, neovascularization and collagen deposition had not yet reached the center of the implant. Conclusion: In this model, the cellulose gel produced by Zoogloea sp proved to be biocompatible and integrated into the orbits. Morphometric, immunohistochemical and biodegradability studies should be performed in the future. Keywords

“…extremely important for the artificial eye patient to maintain a natural and normal appearance with the prosthetic eye (1)(2)(3) . The ideal orbital implant should be able to correct the orbital volume loss as well as maintain socket motility to achieve maximum cosmesis with the use of prosthesis.…”

Purposeto develop and test a prototype of Chatbot with the purpose of applying a questionnaire to assess depression in visually impaired individuals.MethodsThis project was carried out in the Federal University of São Paulo. The Chatbot was developed using the platform BLiP®. The social-demography questionnaire and the Center for Epidemiological Scale – Depression (CES-D) were selected to collect the essential data and to identify the presence of depression, respectively. After the development, validation tests were applied to verify the functionality and structure of the chatbot.ResultsThe Chatbot prototype presented an excellent flow of conversation in the tests conducted. The questionnaires were applied in a satisfactory manner during the tests. Software validation tests approved the prototype’s function.ConclusionsThe Chatbot prototype is an affordable and easy way to apply questionnaires that can be used to identify health conditions, such as the likelihood of being depressed.
