ABSTRACT

Resumo A premissa de que todo ser humano é vulnerável por natureza advém da noção de vulnerabilidade enquanto suscetibilidade ao dano, assim como da inter-relação e interdependência intrínseca do ser humano com seu contexto socioambiental, cabendo à sociedade estabelecer instituições capazes de promover tanto a proteção quanto a autonomia das pessoas, em equidade de condições. Para além do dever profissional de informar benefícios e malefícios das intervenções possíveis, incluindo as consequências de negar qualquer intervenção, o cuidado centrado no paciente integra uma abordagem colaborativa que considera fundamental a tomada de decisão compartilhada. A partir de uma revisão teórica, neste artigo analisa-se o conceito de vulnerabilidade e sua relação com o respeito e a promoção dos direitos humanos dos pacientes, propondo e justificando a tomada de decisão compartilhada no que se refere a uma boa estratégia de mitigação de vulnerabilidades acrescidas.


Abstract The premise that every human being is vulnerable by nature stems from the notion of vulnerability as susceptibility to harm, as well as the interrelations and intrinsic interdependence of human beings with their socio-environmental context. It is up to society to establish institutions capable of promoting both the protection and autonomy, under equal conditions. Besides the professional duty to inform patients of the benefits and harms from possible interventions, including the consequences of denying any intervention, patient-centered care integrates a collaborative approach that considers shared decision-making essential. This theoretical review analyzes the concept of vulnerability and its relations with respect for and promotion of patient rights, proposing and justifying shared decision-making as a good strategy for mitigating increased vulnerabilities.


Resumen La premisa de que todo ser humano es vulnerable por naturaleza parte de la noción de vulnerabilidad como susceptibilidad al daño, así como de la interrelación e interdependencia intrínseca del ser humano con su contexto socioambiental, y a la sociedad le corresponde establecer instituciones capaces de promover tanto la protección como la autonomía de las personas en igualdad de condiciones. Además del deber profesional de informar de los beneficios y perjuicios de las posibles intervenciones, incluyendo las consecuencias de negar cualquier intervención, la atención centrada en el paciente integra un enfoque colaborativo que considera fundamental la toma de decisiones compartida. A partir de una revisión teórica, este artículo analiza el concepto de vulnerabilidad y su relación con el respeto y la promoción de los derechos humanos de los pacientes, proponiendo y justificando la toma de decisiones compartida como una buena estrategia para mitigar el aumento de las vulnerabilidades.

ABSTRACT

To measure the prevalence of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), its severity and association with dental caries among public school children from Belém/PA, Brazil.Material and Methods:This is a cross-sectional study conducted with children enrolled in three public schools of Belém, which were selected by simple random sampling. MIH diagnosis was carried out according tocriteria of the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.Results:Among the 260 students that met the inclusion criteria, 56.92% were male and 43.07% female. The average age was 10.22 years. Of these, 8.84% (n = 23) had MIH, but there was no statistically significant difference in this prevalence between sexes (p = 0.6244). The most affected teeth were the upper first permanent molars, followed by lower first permanent molars and upper permanent central incisors. About 43.48% of students had at least one tooth with severe defect in enamel and 30.43% of students with MIH presented dental caries in the affected teeth. Conclusion:Severe MIH was not the most prevalent among schoolchildren, but the relationship with dental caries found demonstrates the importance of knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of enamel defects, which should be part of promotion and prevention actions in oral health due to its epidemiological impact in the demographic change of dental caries...

ABSTRACT

Leveduras do gênero Candida são comuns na cavidade bucal e podem causar candidose na presença de fatores predisponentes, especialmente em paciente diabético, o qual é caracterizado por um aumento anormal da glicose no sangue. A manifestação da doença está relacionada a este conjunto de fatores locais, tais como a presença de próteses dentárias, pH salivar, fluxo salivar e tabaco. A redução da saliva é um dos principais fatores de risco para o aparecimento de infecção e o controle glicêmico inadequado causado por diabetes, em associação com todos estes fatores, pode aumentar a incidência de infecções. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: 1) isolar e identificar cepas de Candida albicans da mucosa bucal de pacientes diabéticos 2) avaliar os fatores de virulência: proteinase e fosfolipase. Amostras microbiológicas foram coletadas a partir de locais da mucosa bucal e semeadas em CHROMagar para posterior identificação de C. albicans por PCR. Foram realizados testes da atividade de proteinase e fosfolipase para todos os isolados de C. albicans. Neste estudo, 22 isolados foram identificados como C. albicans. Em relação às atividades de proteinases, todas as cepas de C. albicans foram capazes de produzir proteinase, enquanto que para fosfolipase, apenas 4,5% dos isolados não produziram esta exoenzima. Portanto, C. albicans presente na cavidade bucal de pacientes diabéticos tem potencial patogênico e pode participar de processos infecciosos e inflamatórios, causando lesões e invadindo os tecidos orais.


Candida yeasts are common in the oral cavity and can cause candidosis in the presence of predisposing factors, especially diabetes, which is characterized by an abnormal increasing in blood glucose concentration. The manifestation of the disease is related to a set of local factors such as the presence of dental prostheses, salivary pH, salivary flow and tobacco. The reduction in saliva is a major risk factor for the onset of infection and poor glycemic control caused by diabetes in association with all these factors further increases the incidence of candidosis. The objectives of this study were: 1) to isolate and identify Candida albicans strains from oral mucosa sites of diabetic patients 2) to evaluate the virulence factors: proteinase and phospholipase. Thus, microbial samples were collected from oral mucosa sites and seeded in CHROMagar for subsequent identification of C. albicans by PCR. For the phenotypic tests, all strains of C. albicans were evaluated for their proteinase and phospholipase productions. In this study, 22 isolates were identified as C. albicans. In regard to the proteinase activities, all strains of C. albicans were able to produce proteinase, while only 4.5% from those isolates were not able to produce phospholipase activity. In conclusion, C. albicans present in the oral cavity of diabetic patients is potentially pathogenic and can participate in infectious and inflammatory processes, causing injury and invading oral tissues.
