ABSTRACT

Objective@#The frequency of various disasters has become a 21st century global crisis. The biological-disaster of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) gave rise to a multi-dimensional global impact. The 25 items of Societal Influences Survey Questionnaire (SISQ) was developed to assess various categories of social influence during the pandemic. This study compares the SISQ scores of Taiwan, Republic of Korea (Korea) and Japan. @*Methods@#Persons living in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan were recruited and evaluated through an SISQ online survey. The SISQ is composed of 25 items each with a 4-point Likert scale. The SISQ assesses the following six factors: self-restraint, social impact, government policy, social cost, concern of infection, and awareness of information. A principal factor analysis and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) were performed to validate the SISQ. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc analysis was conducted to explore the differences between groups. @*Results@#The SISQ had acceptable reliabilities, and accounted for 58.86% of the variance. The significance for ANOVA with post-hoc analysis showed that scores of self-restraints ranked highest in Japan followed by Taiwan and Korea. Taiwanese scored lower than other nations regarding the concern of infection. Koreans scored higher in awareness of information than the other two nations. The effect of age and marital status were also estimated. @*Conclusion@#The SISQ comprehensively evaluate multiple domains of social influence, and it manifests the divergence of social impacts across the three nations.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT This case report aims to evaluate the treatment of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) of muscular origin by associating facial massage (FM), dry needling (DN), and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The pre- and post-treatment evaluations consisted of clinical examinations based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) for TMD, pain intensity quantification by means of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), mandibular movement measurement, and electromyographic (EMG) analysis of the masseter and temporal muscles. Post-therapy assessment indicated a decrease in pain sites of 58%, in pain intensity mean (1.3), and an increase in the maximum aperture of 10 mm, in addition to normalization of EMG signals. We conclude that, after application of the treatment protocol, there was a decrease in painful sites, gain in amplitude of mandibular movements, and normalization of EMG activity.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of whole-body vibration therapy on blood glucose levels of elderly people using a vibratory platform. METHODS: The study included volunteers of both genders, aged between 60 and 75 years, without gait disorders or motor disabilities. Individuals with systemic disease, obesity, conflicting treatments, tobacco users, and those who could not understand the maneuvers were excluded. The study consisted of a single session of whole-body vibration. Heart rate, respiratory rate, arterial blood pressure, and blood glucose were obtained for each participant at baseline, immediately before the procedure. Volunteers were then placed in the standing position on the ground of an oscillating platform and treated for 10 min with a frequency of vibration set at 20 Hz (displacement ±6 mm; orbital vibration). Immediately after the whole-body vibration session, all data were collected again. Comparisons were made between baseline and post-treatment data. Normality was tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Data were analyzed using paired Student's t-test or Wilcoxon test as appropriate. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. RESULTS: Eleven participants (seven men, four women) participated of the study. The mean age was 64.18±4.37 years. The results showed a significant decrease in the glycemic indexes (p=0.016) and an increase in the respiratory rate (p=0.047) after the whole-body vibration session. CONCLUSIONS: Healthy elderly subjected for 10 minutes to whole-body vibration set at 20 Hz presented reduction of blood glucose levels and increasing of respiratory rate.


OBJETIVOS: Avaliar o efeito da terapia da vibração de corpo inteiro nos níveis de glicemia em idosos saudáveis, usando uma plataforma vibratória. MÉTODOS: O estudo incluiu voluntários de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 60 e 75 anos, sem distúrbios de marcha ou incapacidades motoras. Indivíduos com doença sistêmica, obesidade, tratamentos conflitantes, usuários de tabaco e aqueles que não conseguiram entender as manobras foram excluídos. O estudo consistiu em uma única sessão de vibração de corpo inteiro. A frequência cardíaca, a frequência respiratória, a pressão arterial e a glicemia foram obtidas para cada participante na linha de base, imediatamente antes do procedimento. Os voluntários foram então colocados na posição de pé no piso de uma plataforma oscilante e tratados durante 10 minutos com uma frequência de vibração ajustada em 20 Hz (deslocamento ±6 mm, vibração orbital). Imediatamente após a sessão de vibração de corpo inteiro, todos os dados foram coletados novamente. Foram feitas comparações entre dados iniciais e do pós-tratamento. A normalidade foi testada pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Os dados foram analisados usando o teste t de Student emparelhado ou o teste de Wilcoxon, conforme apropriado. O nível de significância foi definido em p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Onze participantes (sete homens e quatro mulheres) participaram do estudo. A média de idade foi de 64,18±4,37 anos. Os resultados mostraram uma diminuição significativa nos índices glicêmicos (p=0,016) e um aumento na frequência respiratória (p=0,047) após a sessão de vibração de corpo inteiro. CONCLUSÕES: Idosos saudáveis submetidos por 10 minutos à vibração de corpo inteiro, ajustada em 20 Hz, apresentaram redução dos níveis de glicemia e aumento da frequência respiratória.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar o efeito da terapia light emitting diode (LED) na disfunção temporomandibular. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Uma paciente diagnosticada com disfunção temporomandibular foi submetida a quatros sessões de terapia LED com intervalo de sete dias entre as irradiações. No exame inicial da articulação temporomandibular a paciente apresentava abertura de boca sem dor de 23 mm, abertura máxima de 25 mm e abertura máxima com auxílio de 27 mm. Após o tratamento houve aumento de 7 mm na abertura sem dor entre a primeira e a última avaliação enquanto que a abertura máxima de boca e a abertura máxima com auxílio aumentaram 6 mm entre a primeira e a última avaliação. Após 21 dias de tratamento detectou-se redução de 50% dos sítios dolorosos ao exame de palpação. Após o final do tratamento, a escala visual analógica de dor detectou diminuição da intensidade de dor em ambos os lados, e houve diminuição da média total da intensidade de dor. Pela análise das respostas ao questionário Medical Outcomes Study 36- item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), dos oito domínios de qualidade de vida avaliados, quatro apresentaram melhora. CONCLUSÕES: No protocolo empregado neste caso, após a terapia LED houve redução da intensidade da dor e aumento da amplitude de movimentos mandibulares. A remissão dos sinais e sintomas da disfunção temporomandibular resultou em melhora na qualidade de vida da paciente.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effect of human amniotic membrane (hAM) fragment on inflammatory response, proliferation of fibroblast and organization of collagen fibers in injured tendon. Methods: Sixty rats were divided into 3 groups: C - surgical procedures without tendon lesion and with simulation of hAM application; I - surgical procedures, tendon injury and simulation of hAM application; T - surgical procedures, tendon injury and hAM application. These groups were subdivided into four experimental times (3, 7, 14 and 28 days). The samples underwent histological analysis and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Results: Histological analysis at 14 days, the T group showed collagen fibers with better alignment. At 28 days, the I group presented the characteristics described for the T group at 14 days, while this group presented aspects of a mature connective tissue. FT-IR analysis showed a clear distinction among the three groups at all experimental times and groups T and I presented more similarities to each other than to group C. Conclusion: Acute injury of tendon treated with human amniotic membrane fragment showed a faster healing process, reduction in inflammatory response, intense proliferation of fibroblasts and organization of collagen fibers.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of Brassica oleracea herbal balsam on the healing of skin wounds in rats. METHODS: Twenty four rats (Wistar, 60 days, 250 g) were divided into four groups: untreated animals (C) and treated with the ointment (T), subdivided into two experimental times (seven and 16 days). A 3cm² skin wound was made in the back of all animals. 100 ml of the Brassica oleracea was applied twice a day in T group. Biometric analysis was made with images captured at one, four, seven, ten, 13, and 16 days. At seven and 16 days, animals of each group were euthanized. The wound area removed was processed for histological and histomorphometric analysis to quantify birefringent collagen fibers. Statistical analysis was made considering p < 0.05 as significant. RESULTS: Biometric analysis revealed no significant differences between groups in both experimental times studied. However, histomorphometric analysis showed that the number of type I collagen fibers was significantly higher in the specimens of the group T16 compared to the other groups. CONCLUSION: Brassica oleracea accelerated the wound healing process increasing the number of type I collagen fibers and the maturity of the newly formed tissue.
