ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the accuracy of the Breath-Alert™ portable breath meter (BA) for the detection of halitosis in children and adolescents, considering the organoleptic test (OT) as the gold standard in this assessment. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 children (aged 6-12 years). OT was performed by three independent examiners on a single occasion, obtaining three scores of 0-5 points on the Rosenberg's organoleptic scale. The median of the three evaluations for each child was used for analysis. BA was used according to the manufacturer's instructions, with breath odor scored from 0-5 points. Scores ≥2 on both tests were considered indicative of halitosis. RESULTS: A total of 26 (17.3%) and 23 (15.3%) children were detected with halitosis on the OT and BA tests, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the BA scores for the detection of halitosis were 80.76% and 98.38%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values for BA were 91.3% and 96.06%, respectively. CONCLUSION: In the present study involving children, who require fast, practical examinations, BA proved to be an auxiliary tool to OT for the detection of halitosis in the practice of pediatric dentistry, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity.

INTRODUÇÃO: A Trombose Venosa consiste em um trombo que leva a obstrução ao fluxo sanguíneo. Desencadeada por lesão endotelial, estase sanguínea e/ou hipercoagulabilidade. Sendo que muitos dos fatores que levam ao desencadeamento destes quadros, são a imobilidade, paralisia e algumas doenças respiratórias. Portanto, a profilaxia da TVP é considerada uma intervenção eficaz e segura, mas por muitas vezes não é utilizada rotineiramente nos ambientes hospitalares. OBJETIVO: Verificar a utilização da mobilização precoce como profilaxia da trombose venosa profunda em ambientes hospitalares. MÉTODO: O estudo consiste em uma Revisão Sistemática realizada com buscas em periódicos, revistas e artigos entre o ano de 2005 a 2018 encontrados em bases de dados eletrônicos, sendo elas Pubmed, Scielo, PEDro, Lilacs, Cochrane, Medline, ResearchGate. Incluindo pacientes de ambos os gêneros com idade superior a 18 anos. RESULTADOS: Foram obtidos para análise 26 artigos, dos quais 14 foram excluídos por não estarem de acordo com os critérios de inclusão. Do total de 3005 pacientes, 1828 não receberam profilaxia fisioterapêutica e 1220 receberam. CONCLUSÃO: A mobilização precoce em ambientes hospitalares subutilizada e seus benefícios pouco conhecidos, aumentando o número de incidentes relacionados a TVP.
INTRODUCTION: Venous Thrombosis consists of a thrombus that leads to obstruction to blood flow. Triggered by endothelial injury, blood stasis and / or hypercoagulability. Many of the factors that trigger these conditions are immobility, paralysis and some respiratory diseases. Therefore, DVT prophylaxis is considered an effective and safe intervention, but is often not routinely used in hospital settings. OBJECTIVE: To verify the use of early mobilization as prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis in hospital settings. METHOD: The study consists of a Systematic Review conducted with searches in journals, magazines and articles from 2005 to 2018 found in electronic databases, which are Pubmed, Scielo, PEDro, Lilacs, Cochrane, Medline, ResearchGate. Including patients of both genders over 18 years of age. RESULTS: Twenty-six articles were obtained for analysis, of which 14 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Of the 3005 patients, 1828 did not receive physical therapy prophylaxis and 1220 did. CONCLUSION: Early mobilization in underused hospital settings and its little known benefits, increasing the number of incidents related to DVT.

INTRODUÇÃO: A cirurgia torácica pode causar uma série de complicações pulmonares após o processo cirúrgico. O momento e a circunstância ideais para sedestação fora do leito e suas implicações clínicas, após cirurgias no tórax, ainda necessitam de padronização. Assim, faz-se necessário um tratamento de mobilização precoce adequado visando minimizar as complicações no período pós-operatório. OBJETIVOS: Objetivamos avaliar o efeito do atendimento fisioterapêutico no pós-operatório imediato de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia torácica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Este será um ensaio clínico randomizado, no qual um grupo de pacientes submetidos às cirurgias de ressecções pulmonares eletivas (segmentectomias, lobectomias ou pneumonectomias) com idade superior a dezoito anos receberão atendimento fisioterapêutico através do PROSM. Serão excluídos os pacientes incapazes de assinar o termo de consentimento livre esclarecido, com performance status comprometido (ECOG superior à 2), com peso corporal inferior à 60 Kg ou superior à 120 Kg, com alergia a qualquer uma das drogas utilizadas na anestesia, portadores de disfunção renal, disfunção hepática (Child B e C) e Insuficiência Cardíaca (classe Funcional III e IV). O instrumento de classificação do grau da dor por meio da Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) e instrumento de classificação da independência funcional por meio da Escala MIF (medida de independência funcional) serão aplicados antes do início e após o término de cada sessão de fisioterapia. Também será analisado o número de sessões de cada paciente e o tempo de internação. Para análise estatística será utilizado o programa SPSS Statistics e o teste de Shapiro-Wilk será usado para identificar a normalidade dos dados coletados. Espera-se um menor tempo de internação e melhor independência funcional na alta hospitalar nos pacientes submetidos ao PROSM. [AU]
INTRODUCTION: Thoracic surgery can cause a series of pulmonary complications after the surgical procedure. The ideal timing and circumstance for out-of-bed sedation and its clinical implications, after chest surgeries, still require standardization. Thus, an appropriate early mobilization treatment is necessary in order to minimize complications in the postoperative period. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the effect of physical therapy care in the immediate postoperative period of patients undergoing thoracic surgery. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This will be a randomized clinical trial in which a group of patients undergoing elective pulmonary resections (segmentectomies, lobectomies or pneumonectomies) aged over eighteen years will receive physiotherapeutic care through PROSM. Patients under the age of eighteen years, unable to sign the informed consent form, with compromised performance status (ECOG greater than 2), with a body weight below 60 kg or greater than 120 kg, with a history of allergy to any of the drugs used in anesthesia, patients with renal dysfunction, liver dysfunction (Child B and C) and Heart Failure (Functional class III and IV). The instrument of classification of pain grade by means of the Visual Analogue Scale (EVA) and instrument of classification of functional independence by means of the MIF Scale (functional independence measure) will be applied before the beginning and after the end of each physiotherapy session. We will also analyze the number of sessions of each patient and the length of hospital stay. For statistical analysis, the SPSS Statistics program will be used and the Shapiro-Wilk test will be used to identify the normality of the data collected. It is expected a shorter hospitalization time and better functional independence at hospital discharge in patients submitted to PROSM. [AU]
