Select the Area or Research Line for description.
Area: Otorhinolaryngological Sciences and Skull Base
Evaluation of the physiological and pathological mechanisms of the affections that compromise the upper digestive airways, as well as the rehabilitation of the sequelae resulting from the injuries, using new bioengineering technologies and inflammatory markers; Study of the various aspects related to the pathophysiology and rehabilitation of patients with tinnitus and/or sound intolerance; Study of the biomechanical properties of the nasal mucosa, as well as transcription-transduction, protein epigenetics, composition of the extracellular and cellular matrix and creation of experimental models to evaluate tissue mechanical properties and their clinical treatments; Assessment of the impact of obstructive sleep disorders on children's upper airway; Assessment of the impact of different therapeutic interventions: maxillary and/or mandibular orthopedics, upper airway surgeries with tissue excision in the obstructive region located in the rhino, oral and laryngopharynx; Investigation of the morphophysiopathological mechanisms of sensory and neural disorders that compromise the cranial nerves responsible for hearing and body balance; Development of specific instruments, as well as experimental models for rehabilitation.
Research Line: Assessment of Physiopathological Mechanisms and Rehabilitation of Upper Aerodigestive Pathways Ailments
Evaluation of the physiological and pathological mechanisms of the affections that compromise the upper digestive airways, as well as the rehabilitation of the sequelae resulting from the injuries, using new bioengineering technologies and inflammatory markers.
Research Line: Assessment of Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Rehabilitation of Patients with Tinnitus and/or Sound Intolerance
Research the various aspects related to pathophysiology (auditory, peripheral and central, psychoacoustic, psychological and stomatognathic system) and the rehabilitation of patients with tinnitus and/or sound intolerance (hyperacusis, phonophobia and misophony).
Research Line: Nasal Mucosa Biomechanics
It studies the biomechanical properties (cellular traction force, tissue surface tension, hydrostatic and osmotic pressure balance) of the nasal mucosa, as well as transcription-transduction, protein epigenetics, composition of the extracellular and cellular matrix and creation of experimental models to evaluate tissue mechanical properties and their clinical treatments.
Research Line: Study of Pharyngolarygeal Changes Related to Voice and Swallowing
Pharyngolaryngeal alterations in voice and swallowing are very prevalent in our country. With the aging of the population these changes have increased greatly in the population. At this time of pandemic and increase in individuals in intensive care, there was also a great increase in these cases. Dysphagia, which is the disorder of swallowing function can impact the nutrition of individuals and the aspiration of food or saliva in lower respiratory tract infections, generating life-threatening consequences.
Research Line: Ethics and Civil Responsibility In Medicine
Evaluate the main complaints of medical error in otorhinolaryngology at the Technical Chamber of CRM-SP and follow the investigation, evaluating whether or not it became a process and correlate with the civil action, verifying what amount was decreed in the compensation of moral damages. Evaluate the role of the medical expert in the judge's decision, describing the real function of this professional and the degree of training.
Research Line: Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches to Upper Airway Obstruction in Childhood
Assessment of the impact of obstructive sleep disorders on the upper airway of children, using polysomnography tools, orthodontic imaging exams with cephalometric measurements, anthropometry, symptoms and clinical signs of oral breathers, primary snorers and apneic patients. Assessment of the impact of different therapeutic interventions: maxillary and/or mandibular orthopedics, upper airway surgeries with tissue excision in the obstructive region located in the rhino, oral and laryngopharynx.
Research Line: Morphophysiopathological Mechanisms of Sensory and Neural Disorders of Hearing and Body Balance
To investigate the morphophysiopathological mechanisms of sensory and neural disorders that compromise the cranial nerves responsible for hearing and body balance. Develop specific instruments, as well as experimental models for rehabilitation.
Area: Applied Surgery in Head and Neck
Evaluation of genetic, behavioral and treatment risk factors for the main epithelial neoplasms of the upper aerodigestive tract and its cervical metastases. Genetic and cytological study of alterations in the thyroid and parathyroid glands related to tumors that affect these tissues.
