ABSTRACT

Abstract Licania macrophylla is a medicinal plant from the Amazon. It is mainly used in the form of a decoction and has been reported to contain several phenolic compounds. However, the effect of seasonality on the phenolic composition and antioxidant potential of this plant has not been well studied, especially in the Amazon region, an area affected by the rainy and less-rainy seasons. Therefore, we evaluated the seasonality of these aromatic compounds and the antioxidant potential of the extracts from L. macrophylla stem bark. We also determined the correlation between the extraction methods used and precipitation levels during each period for 1 year. The total flavonoid and phenolic content, DPPH-scavenging potential, percentage of phosphomolybdenum complex reduction, and iron-reducing power were quantified. The levels of phenolic compounds were the highest in June, whereas those of flavonoids were the highest in September and October; however, these differences were not significant. The extracts from April, November, and June showed the best results for DPPH scavenging, phosphomolybdenum reduction, and iron reduction power, respectively. Significant differences in the phenolic content and DPPH-scavenging activity were observed between the more- and less-rainy seasons. The total phenolic content was positively correlated with FRAP and DPPH, whereas flavonoid levels were negatively correlated.

ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus spp. vem ganhando destaque em infecções na corrente sanguínea (ICS), apresentando alta prevalência, multirresistência e considerável poder de letalidade. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência e traçar o perfil de sensibilidade das espécies de Staphylococcus spp. isoladas de amostras de hemoculturas positivas obtidas de um hospital de atenção terciária da rede pública do Ceará, no período de janeiro de 2015 a dezembro de 2018. Dos 3292 exames de hemocultura realizados, apenas 15,88% tiveram resultado positivo, dos quais 24,85% eram cocos Gram positivos. S. aureus representou 1,53% das hemoculturas positivas com 50% das cepas resistentes à oxacilina. Os isolados de Staphylococcus sp. coagulase negativo obtiveram prevalência de 10,89%, representados por: S. epidermidis (n=23), S. haemolyticus (n=17), S. hominis (n=13), S. saprophyticus (n=2) e S. warneri (n=2). Verificou-se multirresistência em diversos isolados analisados, apresentando variações intra e interespécies. Portanto, nossos achados melhoram o entendimento da epidemiologia das ICS causadas por Staphylococcus spp., na instituição de estudo, bem como seu perfil de sensibilidade. A identificação precoce do agente infeccioso auxilia na escolha adequada do tratamento, aumentando as chances de cura e reduzindo o tempo de internação do paciente. (AU)


Staphylococcus spp. has been highlighted among bloodstream infections (BI), presenting high prevalence, multidrug resistance and considerable lethality. The present study aimed to analyze the prevalence and the susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from positive blood cultures from a tertiary care public hospital of Ceará, from January 2015 to December 2018. Of the 3292 blood cultures performed during this period, only 15.88% were positive, of which 24.85% were Gram positive cocci. S. aureus represented 1.53% of positive blood cultures, of which 50% were oxacilin resistant. Isolates of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. showed a prevalence of 10.89%, represented by: S. epidermidis (n = 23), S. haemolyticus (n = 17), S. hominis (n = 13), S. saprophyticus (n = 2) and S. warneri (n = 2). Multiresistance occurrence was verified in several of the analyzed isolates, presenting intra and inters species variations. Therefore, our findings improve the understanding of the epidemiology of BI caused by Staphylococcus spp. in the studied institution, as well as its susceptibility profile. Early identification of the infectious agent might aid in the appropriate choice of treatment, increasing the chance of cure and reducing the patient length stay in hospital. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma is a rare, benign vascular proliferation of unknown etiology. It occurs mainly in middle-aged women and usually affects the acral regions; the lesions appear as discrete, grouped, and asymptomatic violaceous papules. Histopathology shows proliferation and dilated small vessels in the papillary dermis, fibrous stroma with thickened collagen bundles, and multinucleated giant cells. To date, there are approximately 140 cases described in the indexed literature. This report presents the case of a 62-year-old woman with a typical clinical condition, who chose not undergo treatment, considering the benign character of her illness. The clinical and immunohistological aspects of this unusual dermatological entity are emphasized.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: Describe the clinical management of an atypical Le Fort I fracture case. Case presentation: A 33-year-old patient was brought to the Surgical and Maxillofacial Traumatology Service of Humberto Lucena Senatorial Emergency and Trauma Hospital in Joao Pessoa (PB), Brazil, after undergoing physical aggression. The patient was conscious and lucid. Clinical examination revealed sinking of the middle third of the face with edema and bilateral periorbital ecchymosis. Visual acuity and ocular motricity were preserved in both eyes. A cut-contusion injury on the upper lip, maxillary mobility when handled and discrete occlusal dystopia were also observed. Imaging examination identified a high bilateral Le Fort I fracture. The therapeutic approach chosen was fracture reduction and fixation with plates and screws. After a period of two months, the patient is healing well without any apparent functional or aesthetic alteration. Conclusions: Atypical Le Fort I fractures are not frequent; however, a number of etiologies besides the impact force may bring about them. Treatment should be based on the one for classical Le Fort I fractures with adjustments to the surgical access approach(AU)


RESUMEN Objetivo: Describir los manejos clínicos realizados en una víctima de fractura de Le Fort I atípica. Reporte de caso: Un hombre de 33 años fue llevado al Servicio de Traumatología Quirúrgica y Maxilofacial del Hospital de Trauma y Emergencias Senatorial Humberto Lucena - Joao Pessoa (PB), Brasil, víctima de agresión física. El paciente estaba consciente y lúcido. Clínicamente, se observó hundimiento del tercio medio de su cara con edema y equimosis periorbital bilateral. La agudeza visual y la motricidad ocular se conservaron en ambos ojos. También se observaron herida constuso-cortante en el labio superior, movilidad maxilar cuando se manipula y discreta distopia oclusal. El examen de imagen identificó una fractura bilateral alta de Le Fort I. El enfoque terapéutico elegido fue la reducción de la fractura y la fijación con placas y tornillos. Después de un período de 2 meses, el paciente está evolucionando bien sin aparentes alteraciones funcionales o estéticas. Conclusiones: las fracturas atípicas de Le Fort I no son frecuentes, sin embargo, diferentes etiologías añadidas a la fuerza de impacto pueden justificarlas. El tratamiento debe basarse en las fracturas clásicas de Le Fort I con ajustes en el abordaje de acceso quirúrgico(AU)

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar uma revisão de literatura de cunho reflexivo acerca dos fatores etiológicos e determinantes na patogênese das doenças autoimunes, assim como sobre as estratégias terapêuticas existentes ou em fase de desenvolvimento, sendo realizado para tal propósito um levantamento de literaturas especializadas disponíveis online na base de dados do google e do google acadêmico para a obtenção das informações que compõem este trabalho, seguido de uma análise de inclusão ou exclusão conforme os seguintes critérios: os trabalho para serem inclusos na revisão deveriam tratar sobre o tema pesquisado, possuir texto completo, publicados nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, no período de 2001 à 2017. O estudo realizado aponta que são associados ao desenvolvimento de doenças autoimunes fatores como 1) comprometimento dos mecanismos imunomoduladores de proteção contra a autoimunidade, 2) mimetização de antígenos de patógenos com moléculas endógenas, 3) modificações de proteínas endógenas ou da expressão gênica por xenobióticos e 4) mutação de genes imunomoduladores adquirida ou herdada e que apesar dos imunossupressores serem a principal estratégia terapêutica, a imunomodulação e a vacinação são recursos que despertam a atenção de pesquisadores e apresentam potencial promissor para aumentar a qualidade de vida dos portadores de doenças autoimunes.


This work aimed to elaborate a literature review about the etiological and determinant factors in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, as well as on the therapeutic strategies existing or in development phase, being carried out for the development of this work a survey of specialized texts available online in the google and google academic databases to the acquisition of the information that composes this work, followed by an analysis of inclusion or exclusion according to the following criteria: the work to be included in the review should be related with the subject searched, possess the full text, be publicized in the Portuguese, English or Spanish languages, from 2001 to 2017. The study done shows that the development of autoimmune diseases is associated with: 1) impairment of immunomodulatory mechanisms to protect against autoimmunity, 2) mimicking of pathogen's antigens with endogenous molecules of the cells, 3) modifications of endogenous proteins or gene expression by xenobiotics, and 4) acquired or inherited immunomodulatory gene mutation; the study also shows that although the immunosuppressant drugs are the main therapeutic strategy, immunomodulation and vaccination are resources that attract the attention of researchers and present promising potential to increase the quality of life of patients with autoimmune diseases.

ABSTRACT

A cerveja é uma bebida de ampla produção e consumo no mundo, conhecida desde os tempos remotos em diversos países. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a aceitação sensorial de cervejas de duas marcas comercializadas na cidade de Imperatriz - MA. A análise sensorial foi conduzida com 60 julgadores não treinados, consumidores de cervejas. Para isso, foram utilizadas as escalas hedônica, do ideal e de intenção de compra. Para os dados de escala hedônica, todos os atributos encontraram-se na região de aceitação da escala, se localizando entre as categorias “gostei ligeiramente” e gostei muitíssimo”. Contudo, a marca B foi mais aceita, em virtude da melhor aparência apresentada. A marca A teve menor aceitação da cor, resultante da menor intensidade desse atributo.

ABSTRACT

Contexto: O Ministério da Saúde do Brasil anunciou, em março de 2018, uma expansão das políticas para práticas integrativas em saúde dentro do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), incorporando 10 novos tipos de práticas integrativas à lista de procedimentos disponíveis no sistema público de saúde brasileiro. Objetivo: Identificar, sintetizar e avaliar criticamente evidências de revisões sistemáticas Cochrane sobre as novas práticas de medicina integrativa inseridas no SUS. Métodos: Revisão de revisões sistemáticas conduzida pela Disciplina de Medicina Baseada em Evidências, Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM), Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp), sobre as seguintes intervenções: apiterapia, aromaterapia, bioenergética, constelação familiar, terapia de florais, cromoterapia, geoterapia, hipnoterapia, imposição de mãos e ozonioterapia. Resultados: Foram incluídas 16 revisões sistemáticas: 4 sobre apiterapia, 4 sobre aromaterapia, 6 sobre hipnoterapia e 2 sobre ozonioterapia. Não foram encontradas revisões sistemáticas Cochrane referentes aos temas bioenergética, constelação familiar, cromoterapia, geoterapia, terapia de florais ou imposição de mãos. A única evidência de alta qualidade encontrada nessas revisões foi sobre o potencial benefício da apiterapia, especificamente para o uso de curativos de mel para cura parcial de feridas por queimadura, para redução de tosse entre crianças com tosse aguda e para prevenção de reações alérgicas a picadas de insetos. Conclusão: Exceto por alguns usos específicos da apiterapia (mel para lesões por queimadura e para tosse aguda e do veneno de abelhas para reações alérgicas às picadas de insetos), o uso das 10 práticas integrativas recentemente incorporadas ao SUS não é embasado por evidências de revisões sistemáticas Cochrane.

ABSTRACT

Abstract We present a case of atypical presentation of secondary syphilis with extensive lymph node involvement and pulmonary lesions, initially suspected as lymphoma. The patient presented with weight loss, dry cough, chest pain, palpable lymph nodes in several peripheral chains, and multiple pulmonary nodules and masses on chest imaging. The key features for secondary syphilis diagnosis were a lymph node biopsy suggestive of reactive lymphadenopathy, positive serologic tests for syphilis, and complete recovery after antisyphilitic treatment.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent skin cancer, generally located in hair-bearing, sunlight-exposed areas. Basal cell carcinoma usually occurs on the head and neck, but very rarely on extra-facial locations. We report a case of a 65-year-old woman presenting with a solitary non-healing ulcer on the sole of the right foot for two years. Histopathological examination showed a typical nodular basal cell carcinoma, confirmed by positivity to Ber-EP4 on immunohistochemistry. There was no history of trauma, exposure to noxious agents, basal cell nevus syndrome, or xeroderma pigmentosum.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: This study identified and summarized all Cochrane systematic reviews (SRs) on the effects of ten integrative practices that were recently added to the Brazilian public healthcare system (SUS). DESIGN AND SETTING: Review of systematic reviews, conducted in the Discipline of Evidence-Based Medicine, Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM), Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp). METHODS: Review of Cochrane SRs on the following interventions were identified, summarized and critically assessed: apitherapy, aromatherapy, bioenergetics, family constellation, flower therapy, chromotherapy, geotherapy, hypnotherapy, hand imposition or ozone therapy. RESULTS: We included a total of 16 SRs: 4 on apitherapy, 4 on aromatherapy, 6 on hypnotherapy and 2 on ozone therapy. No Cochrane SR was found regarding bioenergetics, family constellation, chromotherapy, clay therapy, flower therapy or hand imposition. The only high-quality evidence was in relation to the potential benefit of apitherapy, specifically regarding some benefits from honey dressings for partial healing of burn wounds, for reduction of coughing among children with acute coughs and for preventing allergic reactions to insect stings. CONCLUSION: Except for some specific uses of apitherapy (honey for burn wounds and for acute coughs and bee venom for allergic reactions to insect stings), the use of ten integrative practices that have recently been incorporated into SUS does not seem to be supported by evidence from Cochrane SRs.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: In this study, we report the case of a patient presenting a severe atrophic mandible that was treated with short implants and stable internal fixation, without using bone grafts or biomaterials. The patient had a long history of failure of several previous consecutive treatments. Cone-bean tomography revealed a small amount of mandibular bone, suggesting a high risk of fracture of the mandible during drilling and installation of osseointegrated implants. We opted to place 5 implants (4.0 × 7.0 mm) between the mental foramens. Since the mandible presented a high risk of fracture, we inserted a titanium plate (2.3 mm) as bone reinforcement along the entire length of the mandible, including the bilateral mandibular angles. A Branemark type prosthesis was installed 5 days after the procedure. After 24 months, the patient continues to be satisfied and presents good masticatory functions without any complications.

ABSTRACT

Extracerebral toxoplasmosis, with pulmonary involvement and shock, is a rare form of toxoplasmosis in patients with advanced AIDS. It can mimic pneumocystosis, histoplasmosis, and disseminated tuberculosis, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of causes of respiratory failure and fulminant disease in this group of individuals, especially in areas where the Toxoplasma gondii infection is highly prevalent and in those without proper use of antimicrobial prophylaxis. We report the case of a 46-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with uremia, requiring urgent dialysis. During the laboratorial investigation, the patient had confirmed HIV infection, with a low CD4+ peripheral T-cell count (74 cells/µL). During hospitalization, the patient presented drug-induced hepatitis due to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole in a prophylactic dose, requiring interruption of this medication. On the 55th day of hospitalization, the patient developed refractory shock and died. At the autopsy, disseminated toxoplasmosis with encephalitis and severe necrotizing pneumonia were diagnosed, with numerous tachyzoites in the areas of pulmonary necrosis.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence is a highly prevalent condition that impacts self-esteem and overall quality of life. Many non-surgical treatment options are available, ranging from pharmacological approaches to pelvic exercises. We aimed to summarize the available evidence regarding these non-surgical interventions. DESIGN AND SETTING: Review of systematic reviews, conducted in the Discipline of Evidence-Based Medicine, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (EPM-UNIFESP). METHODS: A sensitive search was conducted to identify all Cochrane systematic reviews that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Titles and abstracts were screened by two authors. RESULTS: We included 20 Cochrane systematic reviews: 4 assessing methods of vesical training, 3 evaluating pharmacological interventions, 4 studying pelvic floor muscle training approaches and 9 aimed at other alternatives (such as urethral injections, weighted vaginal cone use, acupuncture, biostimulation and radiofrequency therapy). The reviews found that the evidence regarding the benefits of these diverse interventions ranged in quality from low to high. CONCLUSIONS: This review included 20 Cochrane systematic reviews that provided evidence (of diverse quality) for non-pharmacological interventions for patients with urinary incontinence. Moderate to high quality of evidence was found favoring the use of pelvic floor muscle training among women with urinary incontinence. To establish solid conclusions for all the other comparisons, further studies of good methodological quality are needed.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. Methods: The OHIP-14 questionnaire was applied to 114 patients and information regarding gender, age, type of prosthesis and time of use were obtained. To analyze whether there were any statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the seven parameters of the OHIP-14, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test were used. All data were evaluated using a significance level of 5%. Results: Patients were predominantly female (78.9%) and single crowns users (41.2%). Patients reported a good QoL (3.07). Psychological discomfort and physical pain were the worst dimensions evaluated by the subjects. Results differed significantly (p<0.05) only for functional limitations and psychological discomfort in the different genders. Conclusions: Patients presented a high level of quality of life, regardless of age, duration of use and the type of prosthesis used. However, women presented more psychological distress and functional limitations than men (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumors and may occur in places where these fibers are present, while the anorectal location is rare. They are commonly incidental imaging findings and in most cases, patients are asymptomatic. The therapeutic recommendation is tumor resection and postoperative follow-up. Case report: a 38-year-old Black woman had, one year ago, a swelling in perianal right region, which showed slow and progressive growth. She denied bowel habit alterations, local pain, hematochezia, or tenesmus. Proctologic examination showed a fibroelastic, regular, mobile, painless nodule measuring 10 cm at its largest diameter in the right perianal region, next to the anal verge. The soft tissue ultrasound image identified a solid, hypoechoic, and discreetly vascularized nodule in the perianal, superficial right gluteal region that did not reach the adjacent muscles. A complete resection of perineal tumor was carried out in the ventral position. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses disclosed a leiomyoma with a positive finding for actin smooth muscle and negative for desmin. She is currently asymptomatic and undergoing outpatient follow-up.


Resumo Os leiomiomas são tumores da musculatura lisa podendo ocorrer nos locais onde essas fibras estão presentes, sendo rara a localização anorretal. Na maioria dos casos os pacientes são assintomáticos, sendo comumente achados de exame de imagem. A recomendação terapêutica é a ressecção tumoral e o seguimento pós-operatório. Relato do caso: mulher, 38 anos, negra. Há um ano, apresentou abaulamento em região perianal direita, de crescimento lento e progressivo. Negava alteração do hábito intestinal, dor local, hematoquezia, puxo ou tenesmo. Ao exame proctológico, apresentava nodulação fibroelástica, regular, móvel, indolor, com 10 cm de diâmetro em região perianal à direita, próxima à borda anal. Realizou ultrassonografia de partes moles que identificou imagem nodular, sólida, hipoecogênica e discreta vascularização em parte superficial perianal e glútea direita, não envolvendo musculatura adjacente. Foi submetida à ressecção completa do tumor via perineal, em posição ventral. O laudo histológico e imuno-histoquímico revelou leiomioma, com achado positivo para actina de músculo liso e negativo para desmina. Atualmente está assintomática, em seguimento ambulatorial.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Introdução: Devido à susceptibilidade a infecções no pós-operatório, a antibioticoterapia profilática visa reduzir morbimortalidade em pacientes submetidos a cirurgia. Por outro lado, seu uso indiscriminado contribui para o desenvolvimento de resistência microbiana. Assim, é fundamental mapear a efetividade e a segurança do uso profilático de antibiótico para cada modalidade cirúrgica, identificando evidências para a tomada de decisão. Objetivo: Avaliar evidências de revisões sistemáticas (RS) Cochrane sobre efetividade e segurança de antibioticoprofilaxia em cirurgia. Métodos: Overview de RS Cochrane que avaliaram os efeitos de antibióticos profiláticos administrados antes, durante ou após a cirurgia. Resultados: Foram incluídas 20 RS, que concluíram que: (a) há evidências (de níveis variados) que mostram benefícios da antibioticoprofilaxia em cirurgia de câncer de mama, apendicectomia, cesárea, curetagem após aborto no pri- meiro trimestre da gestação, hernioplastia, cirurgia colorretal, cirurgia de reconstrução arterial, cirurgia de derivação ventricular interna, cirurgias de fraturas não expostas de ossos longos e cirurgia femoral proximal e na prevenção de infecção periestomal; (b) há evidências suficientes não recomendando a antibioticoprofilaxia em tonsilectomia; (c) não há evidências suficientes sobre efeitos da antibioticoprofilaxia em partos com fórceps e extração a vácuo, cirurgia de trauma abdominal penetrante, colecistectomia eletiva, biópsia transretal de próstata, sobre uso de cateteres impregnados com antibióticos e sobre os efeitos da antibioticoprofilaxia nos neonatos. Conclusão: Apesar de ter benefício comprovado ou potencial em alguns procedimentos cirúrgicos, os efeitos da antibioticoprofilaxia precisam ser avaliados em muitos outros. Para isso, ainda são necessários ensaios clínicos randomizados, de qualidade metodológica adequada e particularizados para cada procedimento cirúrgico.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A recessão gengival é uma condição de alta prevalência que leva a exposição radicular causando queixas estéticas e sintomáticas e cujo tratamento pode ser de difícil execução caso fatores complicadores estejam associados. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão da literatura para discutir a influência de determinados fatores sobre os resultados dos procedimentos para recobrimento radicular. Métodos: Artigos foram selecionados nas bases de dados Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo e LILACS. Os critérios de escolha dos artigos foram: escritos em Inglês, Espanhol, Francês ou Português e que fossem classificados como ensaios clínicos. Resultados: A busca resultou em 20 artigos selecionados que avaliaram e discutiram sobre os possíveis fatores influenciadores como fumo (11), lesão cervical não cariosa (5), biótipo periodontal (4) e anatomia local (1). Discussão: O fumo foi o fator mais discutido na literatura cujos resultados mostram que pode interferir negativamente no tratamento cirúrgico da recessão gengival, embora pacientes fumantes possam apresentar bons resultados desde que façam um bom controle do biofilme dentário. Os artigos sobre lesão cervical não cariosa mostram que os resultados do recobrimento radicular são iguais, em curto e em longo prazo, independente da lesão cervical não cariosa estar restaurada ou não ou com qual material restaurador. Indivíduos que apresentam biótipo periodontal espesso apresentaram melhor prognóstico quanto ao recobrimento radicular. Conclusão: O tratamento da recessão gengival é complexo devido estar ligado a vários fatores relacionados ao indivíduo, desde fatores anatômicos a hábitos que o mesmo apresente. A literatura demonstra que o fumo é um dos fatores que limitam a previsibilidade do tratamento das recessões gengivais (AU).


Introduction: Gingival recession is a high prevalence condition that leads to root exposure causing aesthetic and symptomatic complaints and whose treatment can be difficult to perform when factors are associated with. Objective: To perform a literature review to discuss the influence of some factors on the results of root coverage procedures. Methods: Articles were selected in data basis Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, and LILACS. The inclusion criteria were the language in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese as well as classified as clinical trials. Results: The search resulted in twenty articles selected which was evaluated and discussed about possible influencing factors such as smoking (11), non-carious cervical lesion (5), periodontal biotype (4), and local anatomy (1). Discussion: Smoking was the most discussed factor whose results demonstrate that it can adversely affect the result of surgical treatment for gingival recession, although smokers can present good results as long as they present a good control of the biofilm. Non-carious cervical lesion articles showed that the results of root coverage are the same, in short and long follow-up, regardless of whether the noncarious cervical lesion was restored or not as well as which restorative material was used. Individuals with thick periodontal biotype have a better prognosis regarding root coverage. Conclusions: The treatment of gingival recession is complex because it is linked to several factors related to the individual, anatomical factors and patients' habits. The literature demonstrates that smoking is one of the factors that limit the predictability of treatment of gingival recessions (AU).

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Doenças gastrointestinais inflamatórias crônicas (DGIC) é um grupo de doenças em que se enquadram a doença de Crohn (DCr), a colite ulcerativa e a doença celíaca (DC) cuja origem ainda é incerta e são caracterizadas por terem um curso clínico crônico e intercalarem períodos de remissão com episódios agudos. Por sua vez, as manifestações bucais nas DGIC são achados clínicos comuns, podendo apresentar ulcerações e defeitos de desenvolvimento em esmalte, sendo aquelas, as lesões mais frequentes. Objetivo: Verificar a presença de alterações bucais em pacientes com DGIC. Métodos: A coleta de informações foi obtida através da aplicação de um questionário e de exame clínico em 10 pacientes diagnosticados com DGIC. Resultados: Os pacientes com DGIC apresentaram líquen plano oral, língua fissurada, dente supranumerário, torus palatino, microdentes, agenesia dentária, disfunção da ATM, granuloma piogênico, linha Alba e dente rosa de Mummery. O defeito de desenvolvimento de esmalte mais frequente nos pacientes com DC foi a opacidade difusa, na DCr foi a opacidade demarcada e na colite ulcerativa foram a hipoplasia e outros defeitos. Conclusão: De fato, as manifestações bucais e dentárias podem fazer parte do quadro das DGIC sendo importante a integração multidisciplinar no tratamento e acompanhamento desses pacientes. Além disso, foi evidente a relação entre alterações de desenvolvimento de esmalte e as DGIC (AU).


Introduction: Chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases (CGID) is a group of diseases that are Crohn's disease (CrD), ulcerative colitis and celiac disease (CD) whose origin is still uncertain and are characterized by having a chronic clinical course and interleave periods of remission with acute episodes. Oral manifestations in CGID are common clinical findings and may have ulcerations, enamel developmental defects, ulcers are the most frequent injuries. Objective: Verify the presence of oral abnormalities in patients with CGID and oral manifestations. Methods: Data collection was obtained through a questionnaire and clinical examination in 10 patients diagnosed with CGID. Results: Patients with CGID presented oral lichen planus, fissured tongue, supernumerary tooth, palatal torus, micro tooth, tooth agenesis, TMJ disorder, pyogenic granuloma, Alba line and rose Mummery tooth. The most frequent defect enamel development in patients with CD was diffuse opacity for CrD was demarcated opacity were ulcerative colitis and hypoplasia and other defects. Conclusion: In fact, the oral and dental manifestations may be part of CGID framework is important multidisciplinary integration in the treatment and monitoring of these patients. Furthermore, it was evident relationship between enamel development and changes CGID (AU).

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste relato de caso clínico foi recuperar a estética da região do elemento 23. Foi utilizada uma técnica cirúrgica de alta previsibilidade associada à colocação de um componente protético mais estético. Paciente do gênero feminino, 32 anos, com implante já instalado, apresentou uma condição estética insatisfatória relacionada à reabilitação provisória e a transparência da margem peri-implantar. O implante apresentava uma inclinação vestibular de 17 graus. O plano de tratamento incluiu a manutenção do implante, porém, o pilar de titânio foi substituído por um pilar personalizado em zircônia, associado ao enxerto de tecido conjuntivo pela técnica de Raetzke. O procedimento realizado atingiu o objetivo inicial de recuperar a estética do tecido peri-implantar. O resultado da reabilitação final promoveu satisfação a paciente bem como mostrou ser uma alternativa efetiva nos casos de estética peri-implantar comprometida na região anterior


The aim of this case report was to recover the aesthetics of the area of teeth 23. A high predictable surgical technique was used associated with the placement of a more aesthetic prosthetic component. Female patient, 32 years with the implant already installed, presented poor aesthetic condition related to temporary rehabilitation and transparency of the peri-implant margin. The implant presented a buccal inclination of 17 degrees. The treatment included the maintenance of the implant, however, the titanium pillar was replaced by a custom zirconia abutment associated with a connective tissue graft by Raetzke technique. The procedure performed reached the initial goal of recovering the aesthetics of the peri-implant tissue. The result of the rehabilitation promoted patient' satisfaction as well as showed to be an effective alternative to the cases of peri-implant compromised aesthetics in anterior region

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing intense pruritus, and with typical clinical features. There are few epidemiological studies concerning AD in adults, as well as little information about its prognostic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological course of adults with AD. METHODS: 80 patients aged above 18 years (mean age = 29 years) were selected (30 males and 50 females) and interviewed about hospitalization, systemic corticoid usage, age of AD onset, and personal and/or familial history of atopy. Disease severity was evaluated through the Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) tool. Laboratory examination included IgE serum levels and eosinophil blood count. RESULTS: 71 out of 80 patients referred association with respiratory symptoms (18 had asthma, 17 had rhinitis, and 36 had both conditions); nine out of 80 patients denied any respiratory disease. AD patients were divided in mild (n = 25), moderate (n = 30), and severe (n = 25); 56% had one or more hospitalizations due to AD. A positive association was found between IgE serum levels, eosinophil blood count, and disease severity. CONCLUSION: Adult AD represents a clinical challenge that needs to be better characterized, since it can be misdiagnosed and interferes with the patient's social and personal life. The association of skin and respiratory atopic disease is frequent, and laboratory parameters such as circulating IgE levels and eosinophil blood count may be helpful to assess disease severity.


OBJETIVO: Dermatite atópica (DA) é uma doenc¸a inflamatória crônica com prurido intenso e características clínicas típicas. Há poucos estudos epidemiológicos a respeito da DA em adultos, bem como pouca informação disponível sobre o seu prognóstico. O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar as características clínicas e o curso epidemiológico dos adultos com DA. MÉTODOS: Foramselecionados 80 pacientes com idade acima de 18 anos (média de idade = 29 anos, 30 homens e 50 mulheres), que foram entrevistados sobre: internações, uso de corticóide sistêmico, idade de início da DA, história pessoal e/ou familiar de atopia. A gravidade da doença foi avaliada de acordo com o SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). A avaliação laboratorial incluiu dosagem sérica de IgE e contagem sanguínea de eosinófilos. RESULTADOS: 71 dos 80 pacientes referiram associação com sintomas respiratórios (18: asma, 17: rinite alérgica e 36: ambas as condições); nove dos 80 indivíduos negaram qualquer sintoma respiratório. Os pacientes com DA foram divididos em DA leve (n = 25), moderada (n = 30) e grave (n = 25); destes, 56% tiveram uma ou mais internações por conta da doença. Verificou-se uma associação entre níveis séricos de IgE, contagem sanguínea de eosinófilos e gravidade da doença. CONCLUSÃO: A DA do adulto representa um desafio clínico que necessita ser melhor caracterizado, uma vez que pode ser erroneamente diagnosticada, e interfere diretamente na vida social e pessoal dos pacientes. A associação entre manifestação respiratória e cutânea é frequente, e parâmetros laboratoriais como níveis de IgE circulante e contagem sanguínea de eosinófilos podem ser úteis para acompanhar a gravidade e evolução da doença.
