ABSTRACT
Objective. To understand the effect of digital applications on maternal and neonatal outcomes in young pregnant girls. Methods. A PubMed, CINAHL and Medline online database search was conducted, and related studies were included the databases were searched in order to carry out a more in detailed search of the available literature utilizing keywords like "digital technology"; "adolescent mothers"; and "infant, newborn", as well as Boolean operators to generate papers pertinent which were correlating with the objective of the study. Results.The findings revealed that the PPPs employed produced both positive and negative effects on mothers and newborns. Some were effective, especially in aspects related to improved mental health, while others did not necessarily support the adolescents in preparing for pregnancy and childbirth, but rather raised their anxiety levels. Similarly, the use of these apps decreased the use of emergency neonatal services by the adolescent mothers and the infants were lower in likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Participants appreciated the social media-based instruction, but this exposure did not translate into considerable change in routines and behaviors.
Objetivo. Conocer el efecto de las aplicaciones digitales en los resultados maternos y neonatales en jóvenes embarazadas. Métodos. Se realizó una estrategia de búsqueda en las bases de datos en línea PubMed, CINAHL y Medline utilizando los términos "digital technology"; "adolescent mothers"; y "infant, newborn", y operadores booleanos. Resultados. Los hallazgos revelaron que las APPs empleadas produjeron efectos tanto positivos como negativos sobre las madres y los neonatos. Algunas fueron efectivas, especialmente en los aspectos relacionados con la mejoría en la salud mental, mientras que otras nó ayudaron necesariamente a las adolescentes a prepararse para el embarazo y el parto, sino que más bien elevaron sus niveles de ansiedad. Del mismo modo, el uso de estas aplicaciones disminuyó la utilización de servicios neonatales de urgencia por las madres adolescentes y los neonatos tuvieron menor probabilidad de tener lactancia materna exclusiva. Las participantes apreciaron la instrucción basada en los medios sociales, pero esta exposición no se tradujo en un cambio considerable de rutinas y hábitos. Conclusión. Las soluciones digitales y basadas en la web tuvieron la capacidad de influir en los resultados de los embarazos de adolescentes, pero se requiere de otras investigaciones para evaluar hasta qué punto son útiles estos servicios de apoyo en este grupo poblacional.
Objetivo. Conhecer o efeito dos aplicativos digitais nos resultados maternos e neonatais em gestantes jovens. Métodos. Foi realizada uma estratégia de busca nas bases de dados online PubMed/Medline e CINAHL e utilizando os termos "tecnologia digital"; "mães adolescentes"; e "bebê, recém-nascido" e operadores booleanos. Resultados. Os resultados revelaram que os APPs utilizados produziram efeitos positivos e negativos nas mães e nos neonatos. Alguns foram eficazes, especialmente em termos de melhoria da saúde mental, enquanto outros não ajudaram necessariamente os adolescentes a prepararem-se para a gravidez e o parto, mas antes aumentaram os seus níveis de ansiedade. Da mesma forma, o uso desses aplicativos diminuiu a utilização de serviços neonatais de emergência por mães adolescentes e os neonatos tiveram menor probabilidade de serem amamentados exclusivamente. Os participantes apreciaram a instrução baseada nas redes sociais, mas esta exposição não se traduziu em mudanças consideráveis nas rotinas e hábitos. Conclusão. As soluções digitais e baseadas na web tiveram a capacidade de influenciar os resultados da gravidez na adolescência, mas são necessárias mais pesquisas para avaliar até que ponto estes serviços de apoio são úteis neste grupo populacional.

Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract is a rare but well-documented condition. A common manifestation of pulp necrosis is draining sinus tract or fistula, which could be intra-oral or extra-oral. The microbiologically induced inflammation spreads along the path of least resistance by penetrating the alveolar bone. Ultimately, to form a path of drainage, the inflammatory process can reach the surrounding tissues. These conditions are often misdiagnosed as other non-pulp pathologies. So misdiagnosed as a local skin lesion and maltreated by systemic antibiotics, we came across a 13-year-old girl patient who presented with a cutaneous lesion of dental etiology in the sub-mental region with frequent purulent discharge which was not responding to systemic antibiotics. The management of this condition using endodontic therapy of the involved tooth followed by surgical excision of sinus tract so as to minimize the residual scar formation are presented here.
ABSTRACT
Worldwide squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the conjunctiva is a rare malignancy; however, it is reported to be the most common malignant tumour of the ocular surface. Its incidence varies between 0.02 and 3.5/100.000. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva presented with triangular pedunculated mass of left eye of 75 years old female. It is diagnosed on FNAC and confirmed on histopathological examination after excision. On analyzing the data of FNA done (19150) and biopsies received (23158) in 5 years in the department of pathology, we found only five cases of eye region came for FNA while 25 biopsies of eye region received and diagnosed rightly. Out of all these cases, this is the only case of squamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva in this study. Incidence of SCC of conjunctiva in our retrospective study of data of total pathological biopsies received found to be 4.3/100000.
