ABSTRACT

An aesthetic smile is usually associated with healthy appearance and success in many areas of life. Currently, individuals access the internet and social media in search of health information. The aim of this study was to analyse the quality and reliability of information in videos available on the YouTubeTM platform about ultra-thin ceramic laminates. Methods: YouTubeTM was searched using the therms "dental ceramic laminates" and "dental contact lens" for videos uploaded on ultra-thin ceramic laminates. The first 100 videos in Portuguese were selected and rated for quality and reliability. The content and source of videos were also noted. The quality of the videos was determined by evaluating the presence or absence of reliable information and distributed into seven domains. To compare the distributions of quantitative variables between the classifications of source, content, and quality, the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's post-hoc tests were performed. Results: Seventy-two videos were included for qualitative analysis. Regarding quality rating, most videos were rated with poor quality. The reliability of the evaluated videos was low. Conclusion: YouTubeTM showed a large number of videos with many views on the topic, but it does not contribute with good quality and reliable information to the population

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Head and check squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) affects the Brazilian population with a high incidence and usually has a poor prognosis. Objective: To evaluate the risk factors for survival of patients diagnosed with HNSCC and investigate the influence of epidemiological and clinical factors on the prognostic of HNSCC in southeastern Brazil. Materials and Methods: Clinical records of 211 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas diagnosed and treated between 2010 and 2018 at a reference hospital for oncology, were selected. Clinical and pathological characteristics at diagnosis and for 5 years follow up were collected. The Kaplan-Meier Curve with the Log-Rank test assessed survival, and forward stepwise multivariate logistic regression model was performed to determine the factors affecting HNSCC survival. Results: The 5-year overall survival was 30.0%. Laryngeal cancer was the most prevalent (34.1%), followed by oropharynx (33.6%) and oral cavity (24.2%). About 64% of patients had locally advanced tumors (T3 and T4) and 75.4% of the patients were diagnosed as being in the advanced clinical stages (III and IV). In the multivariate analysis, the locally advanced tumors (OR=2.748; 95%CI:1.310- 5.765), palliative chemotherapy (OR=15.757; 95%CI:5.868-42.309) and metastasis during oncological follow-up (OR=11.602; 95%CI:1.380-97.507) were associated with a poor prognosis. Conclusion: The survival rate was considered low when compared with the literature. Locally advanced tumors, palliative chemotherapy, and the appearance of metastases during follow-up were considered the most important risk factors associated with a low HNSCC survival.


Introdução: O carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) de cabeça e pescoço possui alta incidência na população brasileira e normalmente está associado a um prognóstico desfavorável. Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores de risco para sobrevida de pacientes diagnosticados com CCE de cabeça e pescoço e investigar a influência de fatores clínicoepidemiológicos no prognóstico do CCE. Materiais e Métodos: Foram selecionados prontuários de 211 pacientes com CCE de cabeça e pescoço diagnosticados e tratados entre 2010 e 2018 em um hospital de referência em oncologia. Foram coletadas as características clínico-patológicas no momento do diagnóstico e nos 5 anos de acompanhamento. A curva de Kaplan-Meier com o teste Log-Rank avaliou a sobrevivência e o modelo de regressão logística multivariada progressiva foram realizados para determinar os fatores que afetaram a sobrevivência do CCE. Resultados: A sobrevida global em 5 anos foi de 30,0%. O câncer de laringe foi o mais prevalente (34,1%), seguido de orofaringe (33,6%) e cavidade oral (24,2%). 64% dos pacientes apresentavam tumores localmente avançados (T3 e T4) e 75,4% dos pacientes foram diagnosticados em estádios clínicos avançados (III e IV). Na análise multivariada, os tumores localmente avançados (RC = 2,748; IC 95%: 1,310-5,765), quimioterapia paliativa (RC = 15,757; IC 95%: 5,868-42,309) e metástases durante o acompanhamento oncológico (RC = 11,602; IC 95%: 1,380-97,507) foram associados a um pior prognóstico. Conclusão: A taxa de sobrevida foi considerada baixa. Tumores localmente avançados, quimioterapia paliativa e aparecimento de metástases durante o seguimento foram considerados os fatores de risco mais importantes associados a uma baixa sobrevida.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar as informações disponíveis no site de buscas Google® sobre a relação entre a odontologia e a infecção pelo novo Coronavírus, e sua concordância com a literatura atual. Material e Métodos: estudo descritivo e observacional, realizado em uma universidade privada em Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, através da utilização da plataforma de buscas Google® aonde analisou-se os sites através de um roteiro de perguntas previamente elaborado. Resultados: foram analisados 67 sites após buscas pelas expressões "Coronavírus e odontologia", "Saúde bucal e Coronavírus" e "Fratura de dente e Coronavírus". Apenas 24,2% das perguntas foram respondidas com conteúdo completo enquanto 62,5% não apresentavam os conteúdos e 13,3% simplesmente os citavam sem dar maiores esclarecimentos. Apesar disso, 99% dos conteúdos foram publicados por fontes confiáveis (órgãos renomados, sites privados de profissionais da saúde bucal ou matérias de jornal assessoradas por estes). Conclusão: Apesar de confiáveis, os resultados das buscas apresentaram pequena quantidade de informações que realmente auxiliariam o leigo no entendimento da relação entre Coronavírus e odontologia, o que demonstra a necessidade de criação de canais oficiais para disseminação destas para o público geral


Objective:to evaluate the information available on the Google® search site concerning the relationship between dentistry and infection with the new coronavirus, and its concurrence with the current literature. Material and Methods: a descriptive and observational study was conducted by a private university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to analyze the Google® search platform and the sites found through a previously prepared questionnaire. Results: the expressions "Coronavirus and dentistry", "Oral health and Coronavirus" and "Tooth fracture and Coronavirus" searched produced 67 sites for analysis. However, only 24.2% of the questions of the questionnaire were answered fully, while 62.5% did not answer them at all and 13.3% simply cited them without giving details. Notwithstanding this, 99% of the contents were published by official entities, dental websites or articles assisted by oral health care professionals. Conclusion: although reliable, the search results presented little information that would really help a layperson understand the relationship between Coronavirus and dentistry, which demonstrates the need to create official channels to disseminate such information to the public in an appropriate manner

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Syphilis and HIV infections are sexually transmitted infections whose diagnosis and treatment contribute toward preventing congenital transmission. Objective: To report a case of three sexually transmitted infections detected in a male partner during Couple Consultation and syphilis in the female partner during prenatal care. Case report: A 34-year-old black female G2P1 pregnant woman was referred to an outpatient clinic of sexually transmitted infections in Vitória, Brazil, reporting a 30-day evolution of painless papular lesions in the external genitalia, suggestive of condylomata lata. Nontreponemal tests were positive for syphilis and negative for HIV. The husband reported unprotected receptive anal intercourse and possessed anal condylomatous lesions and perianal condylomata lata. He was positive for both HIV and syphilis. Histopathological findings showed low-grade HPV lesions and the PCR test found 16, 39, and 53 HPV subtypes. Treatment with benzathine penicillin G was successful for both partners. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for Couple Consultation during pregnancy to identify and treat possible sexually transmitted infections.


Introdução: As infecções por sífilis e HIV são infecções sexualmente transmissíveis cujo diagnóstico e tratamento contribuem para a prevenção da transmissão congênita. Objetivo: Relatar um caso de três infecções sexualmente transmissíveis detectadas em um parceiro masculino durante a consulta do casal e sífilis na parceira durante o pré-natal. Relato de caso: Uma gestante, negra, G2P1, 34 anos, foi encaminhada a um ambulatório de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em Vitória, Brasil, relatando uma evolução de 30 dias de lesões papulares indolores na genitália externa, sugestivas de condiloma lata. Os testes não treponêmicos foram positivos para sífilis e negativos para HIV. O marido relatou relação sexual anal receptiva desprotegida e possuía lesões condilomatosas anais e condiloma lata perianal. Ele testou positivo tanto para HIV quanto para sífilis. Os achados histopatológicos mostraram lesão de HPV de baixo grau e o teste de PCR encontrou subtipos de HPV 16, 39 e 53.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução É por meio da interação entre ambiente, indivíduo, sua predisposição à atopia e exposição a alérgenos que surgem as doenças alérgicas. Em crianças atópicas, foi observada uma alta prevalência de padrão respirador bucal, assim como resposta positiva a testes alérgicos. Essas alterações respiratórias possuem uma associação com deformidades orofaciais, especialmente as maloclusões. Objetivo Identificar a frequência de crianças e adolescentes portadores de alergias e buscar uma provável associação entre atopia e maloclusão, traumatismos dentoalveolares e hábitos bucais viciosos. Material e método Foram avaliados prontuários de crianças e adolescentes atendidos em duas instituições particulares de ensino da cidade do Rio de Janeiro no período compreendido entre agosto de 2017 e julho de 2018. Foram coletados dados do prontuário relacionados ao histórico médico, odontológico e de alergias. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente e por meio do teste qui-quadrado (p<0,05). Resultado Um total de 136 prontuários foi considerado elegível para avaliação. Durante a anamnese, 49 responsáveis (36%) relataram histórico de alergias em suas crianças e adolescentes. A prevalência de hábitos bucais viciosos foi verificada em 87 pacientes (64%), sendo presente em 65,3% de crianças e adolescentes que apresentavam atopia (p<0,05). Conclusão A prevalência de alergias relatada nesta população foi de 34,6%, e foi observada ainda uma alta prevalência de hábitos bucais viciosos e traumatismos dentoalveolares nesses pacientes. Foram constatadas associações significativas entre presença de atopias e histórico de traumatismos dentários, maloclusão e hábitos viciosos, demonstrando haver correlação entre atopia e alguns aspectos de saúde oral.


Abstract Introduction Allergic diseases appear through the interaction between the environment, the individual, their predisposition to atopy and exposure to allergens. In atopic children there is a high prevalence of mouth breathers, as well as positive response to allergic prick tests. These respiratory changes have an association with orofacial deformities especially malocclusions. Objective To identify the frequency of children and adolescents that have atopies and search for a probable association between atopy and oral aspects like malocclusion and vicious oral habits. Material and method Medical records were taken of children and adolescents seen at two educational institutions in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the period between August 2017 and July 2018. Data were collected from medical records related to medical history, history of atopies and dental history. The data were transmitted descriptively through the chi-square test (p<0.05). Result A total of 136 records were considered eligible for evaluation. During the anamnesis, 49 (36.0%) parents reported a history of atopy in their children adolescents. The prevalence of vicious oral habits was found in 87 children and adolescents (64.0%), being presented in 65.3% of the patients who had atopy (p<0.05). Conclusion It can be observed that the prevalence of atopy reported in this population was 34.6% and there was also a high prevalence of vicious oral habits and dento-alveolar trauma in these patients. Relevant associations between the presence of atopies and history of dental trauma, malocclusion and the presence of oral vicious habits were observed, demonstrating a correlation between atopy and some aspects of oral health.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with the occurrence of dental trauma in children up to six years of age and describe the results of clinical follow-up and possible sequelae. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out with data collected from the dental records of 96 pediatric patients up to 6 years old with traumatized primary teeth who sought care from the. Pediatric Dental Trauma project of a private university in the city of Rio de Janeiro from July 2014 to July 2017, and who had clinical and radiographic follow-up for up to three months as of their initial visit. Results: 96 children (58.3% boys and 41.7% girls) included who presented 166 traumatized primary teeth. Intrusion was the most observed type of trauma and in 45.8% of cases, the care occurred one-week post trauma. The maxillary central incisors were the most affected teeth (97.6%). The prognosis of the dental elements with more than 3 months of follow-up was considered favorable, and 59.6% of the teeth did not present any clinical or radiological sequelae. Oral hygiene instruction and monitoring were the most common approaches. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental trauma in the present study was high and occurred mainly in domestic settings. The upper central incisors were the teeth that suffered the most injuries. The presence of patients at follow-up visits was an important factor for the positive result in most cases.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Radiotherapy applies ionizing radiation at predetermined doses for a limited period of time in order to destroy tumors. The oral cavity, which has a high rate of cell renewal, is affected by the side effects of radiotherapy including osteoradionecrosis (ORN). This condition occurs due to irradiated bone tissue that becomes devitalized and exposed in the oral cavity. Conservative therapies are recommended for ORN lesions that are not extensive or in an early stage. Surgical intervention is necessary for extensive areas affected by necrosis. This study reports a case of ORN in the left mandibular body which resulted in a pathological fracture. The treatment consisted of segmental mandibulectomy and the use of a reconstruction plate. Also, low-level laser therapy around bone exposure was performed. After surgery, the patient underwent 6 months of follow-up and was satisfied with the outcome. However, the patient died before control of ORN was achieved due to a heart attack.


RESUMEN: La radioterapia aplica radiación ionizante a dosis predeterminadas durante un período de tiempo limitado para destruir tumores. La cavidad oral, que tiene una alta tasa de renovación celular, se ve afectada por los efectos secundarios de la radioterapia, incluida la osteorradionecrosis (ORN). Esta condición se produce debido al tejido óseo irradiado que se desvitaliza y expone en la cavidad oral. Se recomiendan terapias conservadoras para las lesiones de ORN que no son extensas o en una etapa temprana. La intervención quirúrgica es necesaria para áreas extensas afectadas por necrosis. Este estudio reporta un caso de ORN en el cuerpo mandibular izquierdo que resultó en una fractura patológica. El tratamiento consistió en mandibulectomía segmentaria y el uso de una placa de reconstrucción. Además, se realizó una terapia con láser de bajo nivel alrededor de la exposición ósea. Después de la cirugía, el paciente se sometió a 6 meses de seguimiento y quedó satisfecho con el resultado. Sin embargo, el paciente falleció antes de que se lograra el control de ORN debido a un ataque cardíaco.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever os conhecimentos sobre o beijo na boca e sua possibilidade de transmissão de doenças infecciosas em um grupo de adolescentes de escolas privadas de Nova Iguaçu/Rio de Janeiro, através deste estudo piloto. Metodologia: Estudo seccional em que foi aplicado um roteiro de perguntas semi-estruturado autoaplicável em adolescentes (de 18 e 19 anos) de ambos os gêneros, pertencentes a três escolas da rede de ensino privado do município de Nova Iguaçu no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Resultados: De um total de 100 adolescentes que participaram deste estudo, mais da metade eram solteiros e do gênero feminino (61%), apenas estudantes como ocupação (88% do total) e 96% já haviam beijado na boca. A amostra selecionada demonstrou características próprias, com a alta frequência do conhecimento da possibilidade de transmissão de doenças infecciosas pelo beijo na boca e saliva (71%), que possivelmente se confirmou pela baixa ocorrência de lesões após o ato do beijo e pela observação da boca do parceiro antes de beijar. Conclusão: A pratica do beijo na boca e o sexo oral devem ser temáticas consideradas na assistência fornecida a adolescentes. O uso de estratégias preventivas e o acesso às redes sociais podem contribuir para a redução de situações de risco advindos de situações de vulnerabilidade.


Aim: To describe the knowledge about the kiss on the mouth and its possibility of transmission of infectious diseases in a group of adolescents from private schools in Nova Iguaçu / Rio de Janeiro, through this pilot study. Methodology: Cross-sectional study in which a self-administered semi-structured question script was applied to adolescents (18 and 19 years) of both genders, belonging to three schools of the private school system of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro State. Results: Of a total of 100 adolescents who participated in this study, more than half were single and female (61%), only students as occupation (88% of the total) and 96% had already kissed the mouth. The selected sample demonstrated its own characteristics, with the high frequency of the knowledge of the possibility of transmission of infectious diseases by kissing in the mouth and saliva (71%), which was possibly confirmed by the low occurrence of lesions after the kiss and the observation of the mouth. of the partner before kissing. Conclusion: The practice of kissing on the mouth and oral sex should be thematic considered in the care provided to adolescents. The use of preventive strategies and access to social networks can contribute to the reduction of risk situations arising from vulnerability situations. Keywords: mouth, infectious diseases, adolescent (s), health education, strategies and oral health

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Giant condylomata acuminata, also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a rare form of tumor of the anogenital condylomata acuminata, which is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Objective: To report a case of giant condylomata acuminata in an immunocompetent patient. Case report: The patient was referred to the Outpatient Clinic for Sexually Transmitted Infections and AIDS at a public hospital in the city of Vitória, Espírito Santo State, Brazil, reporting the onset of progressive growth verrucous lesions on the external genitalia for four months. The patient underwent surgical ablation, and giant condylomata diagnostic confirmation was obtained through histopathology. She was treated with 5% imiquimod cream in routine applications for eight consecutive weeks to avoid recurrence and was also vaccinated for HPV after the procedure. Conclusion: Surgery excision is the treatment of choice in extensive genital condylomata lesions to exclude malignancy. Imiquimod use as adjuvant therapy for reducing recurrence seems to be adequate.


Introdução: O condiloma acuminado gigante, também conhecido tumor de Buschke-Lowenstein, é uma apresentação rara do condiloma acuminado anogenital, que é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível (IST) causada pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV). Objetivo: Relatar um caso de condiloma acuminado gigante em uma paciente imunocompetente. Relato de caso: A paciente foi encaminhada para o ambulatório de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e AIDS de um hospital público na cidade de Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brasil, relatando o aparecimento de lesões verrucosas de crescimento progressivo na genitália externa por quatro meses. A paciente foi submetida à exérese cirúrgica e a confirmação diagnóstica de condiloma gigante foi obtida através da histopatologia. Ela foi medicada com imiquimode creme a 5% em aplicações rotineiras por oito semanas consecutivas para evitar recorrências e foi também vacinada contra o HPV após o procedimento. Conclusão: Exérese cirúrgica é o tratamento de escolha em lesões condilomatosas extensas para excluir malignidade. O uso de Imiquimode como terapia adjuvante para redução de recidivas mostrou-se adequado.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The occurrence of sexually transmitted infections with oral manifestations, such as syphilis, remains a challenge in the era of rapid tests associated with an adequate clinical evaluation in the patients' approach. Objective: To describe the clinical and laboratory aspects involved, from the diagnosis to prognosis, of three case reports of recent syphilis with oral manifestations attended at a university clinic in the city of Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Case report: Three cases of recent syphilis with oral manifestations in the tongue region. The first one, a 38-year-old female patient who presented syphilis in regions of the body other than the oral cavity (case I); the second one, a 31-year-old male patient with oral ulcerative lesions with associated genital lesion (case II); and, finally, a 49-year-old female patient suspected of oral human papillomavirus (HPV) lesions, in which syphilis was confirmed after a long path to obtain her diagnosis (case III). All cases were laboratory tested at the time of diagnosis and received appropriate treatment and guidance. Conclusion: It was possible to observe through the present study that some situations need attention: evaluation of the oral cavity should occur concomitantly with the investigation of genital lesions; diagnosis hypothesis of occurrence of syphilis with oral manifestation should be considered in the clinical evaluation; oral lesions may present similar clinical manifestations, suggesting investigation of their possible infectious etiology.


Introdução: A abordagem das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis com manifestações orais, tais como a sífilis, ainda permanece um desafio na era dos testes rápidos associados à adequada avaliação clínica na assistência de pacientes. Objetivo: Descrever os aspectos clínicos e laboratoriais envolvidos, do diagnóstico ao prognóstico, de três casos clínicos de sífilis recente com manifestações orais atendidos em uma clínica universitária do município de Niterói, estado do Rio de Janeiro. Relato de caso: Trata-se de três casos de sífilis recente com manifestações orais na região de língua, que ocorreram em: uma paciente do sexo feminino, 38 anos, em que as manifestações da sífilis foram observadas em outras regiões do corpo e na cavidade oral (caso I); um paciente do sexo masculino, 31 anos, que apresentava lesões ulceradas orais com lesão genital associada (caso II); e, por fim, uma paciente do sexo feminino, 49 anos, sob suspeita de infecção pelo vírus do papiloma humano (HPV) oral, em que foi confirmada sífilis após percorrer um longo trajeto até o estabelecimento do seu diagnóstico (caso III). Todos os casos realizaram testes laboratoriais por ocasião do diagnóstico e receberam tratamento e orientação adequados. Conclusão: Foi possível observar pelo presente estudo algumas situações que necessitam de atenção: a avaliação da cavidade oral deve ocorrer de forma concomitante e sistemática com a investigação de lesões genitais; a hipótese diagnóstica de ocorrência de sífilis com manifestação oral deve ser considerada na avaliação clínica; lesões bucais podem apresentar manifestações clínicas similares a outras doenças, sugerindo investigação de sua possível etiologia infecciosa ou não.

ABSTRACT

A violência contra a mulher é um fenômeno complexo que provoca efeitos negativos sobre sua saúde. O princípio da Teoria de Enfermagem de Levine é manter ou recuperar uma pessoa (a mulher que vivencia a violência) para um estado de saúde (longe da violência). Objetivo: analisar, pela ótica da Teoria de Enfermagem de Levine, o atendimento da enfermeira às mulheres que sofreram violência. Método: pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva realizada na Estratégia de Saúde da Família do Rio de Janeiro ­ Brasil, com 11 enfermeiras que prestaram atendimento às mulheres em situação de violência, com base em entrevistas utilizando roteiro de perguntas semiestruturado. Pesquisa aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro e Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. Os depoimentos foram analisados pelo método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Resultados: a análise das entrevistas resultou em quatro ideias centrais referentes a: conservação de energia, integridade estrutural, pessoal e social das mulheres. Conclusão: o cuidado precisa possibilitar conservação de energia, por meio da atenção integral às mulheres, e não apenas focado na violência. Enfatizaram questões como acolhimento e acesso à unidade de saúde, resgatando vínculos dessa mulher com membros da rede social.(AU)


Violence against women is a complex phenomenon that causes negative effects on their health. The principle of Levine's Theory of Nursing is to keep or recover a person (the woman who experiences violence) to a state of health (away from violence). OBJECTIVE: To analyze, from the point of view of Levine's Nursing Theory, nursing care for women who have suffered violence. METHOD: Qualitative and descriptive research, carried out in the Family Health Strategy from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, with eleven nurses who provided care to women living in violence situations, through individual interviews using a semi-structured questions instrument. The Research Ethics Committee from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Municipal Health Department approved previously this protocol. The statements were analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse method. RESULTS: The analysis of the interviews resulted in four central ideas regarding: energy conservation, structural, personal and social integrity of women. CONCLUSION: Care needs to promote energy conservation, through the women integral care, and not just focused on violence. They emphasized issues such as reception and access to the Health Unit, rescuing the woman's ties with members of their social network.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the average number of dental implants that can be placed in the lower anterior region to support a fixed mandibular prosthesis based on the distance between the mental foramina, using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan through a new method of measurement. Material and Methods: Eighty-two CT scans from a total sample of 1,465 exams were selected. The method to measure the space between the foramina was developed using the BlueSky Plan3 software in Dicom format and the axial reconstruction views were chosen for measurements. Descriptive analysis of data was conducted categorical variables were compared using the χ2 test (p <0.05). Results: The mean age of individuals who underwent the scans was 63.51 ± 9.49 years old with a minimum and maximum age of 40 and 86 years old, respectively. The mean linear measurement between the foramina was 40.52 ± 3.92mm. In males the mean distance was 41.93 ± 3.98 mm, and for females it was 39.99 ± 3.80mm, with a significant difference between the means (p = 0.043). There was no positive association between the presence of the anterior loop and gender (p = 0.719). The results showed that the vast majority of subjects (n = 80) could be rehabilitated using a protocol with 4 implants of 3.3mm diameters. Conclusion: Seventy-seven patients would be able to receive protocols of 4 implants with diameters of 3.75 or 4.0mm, and only 4 subjects would be able to be rehabilitated with 6 implants with diameters of 3.75 mm according to the protocol originally described by Brånemark.

ABSTRACT

A infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), assim como a Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (Aids), uma epidemia mundial,pode acarretar graves consequências em termos de morbidade e mortalidade materna e fetal. Objetivos: Descrever o perfil clínico e epidemiológico, e o desfecho reprodutivo em gestantes infectadas pelo HIV. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal, com 109 gestantes infectadas pelo HIV que tiveram terminação na maternidade de um hospital universitário em Vitória, Espírito Santo, entre novembro de 2001 e maio de 2012. Os dados foram extraídos de prontuários médicos e registros públicos. Resultados: Os achados mais marcantes entre os casos foram idade materna média de 28 anos, pardas e negras (76,1%), até 8anos do Ensino Fundamental (63,3%), ocupação do lar (59,4%) e casada/união estável (70,6%). Eram nulíparas 24,1%, e 15,7% com 3 ou mais partos, 33%tiveram o diagnóstico de infecção pelo HIV durante a gestação atual, sendo 53,7% das gestantes com critérios para Aids. O parto cesáreo ocorreu em 82,6%dos casos, parto pretermo em 17,4%, baixo peso ao nascer em 23,9% e morte perinatal em 4,6% dos recém-nascidos. Conclusão: Observou-se nesta casuística a ocorrência de um perfil de gestantes de baixo nível socioeconômico. O parto pretermo e a morte perinatal foram mais comuns que na população em geral,sinalizando para a necessidade de ações preventivas durante o acompanhamento da gestante infectada pelo HIV para redução desses eventos.


The infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (Aids), a worldwide epidemic,may lead to serious consequences in terms of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profiles and the reproductive outcome in HIV-infected pregnant women. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with 109 pregnant women infected by HIV who had their termination in auniversity hospital maternity in Vitória, Espírito Santo, from November 2001 to May 2012. The data were extracted from medical and public records. Results: Themost prominent findings among the cases were average maternal age of 28 years, non-white (76.1%), up to 8 years of elementary school (63.3%), housewives (59.4%)and marital status married/cohabitation (70.6%). The nulliparous were 24.1%, and 15.7% had 3 or more childbirths, 33% had a diagnosis of HIV infection duringpregnancy, and 53.7% of pregnant women met the criteria for Aids. The cesarean occurred in 82.6% of cases, preterm birth in 17.4%, and low birth weight in 23.9%and perinatal death in 4.6% of the newborns. Conclusion: It has been observed, in this casuistry, a pregnant women profile of low socioeconomic level. Preterm birthand perinatal death were more common than in the general population, indicating the need for preventive actions for monitoring the HIV infected pregnant women inorder to reduce these events

ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of infections and HIV-infected individuals are frequently susceptible to this pathogen. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to identify both the risk factors associated with colonization/infection by methicillin-resistant S. aureus in HIV patients and the methods used for characterization of isolates. An electronic search of articles published between January 2001 and December 2013 was first conducted. Among 116 studies categorized as being at a quality level of A, B or C, only 9 studies were considered to have high methodological quality (level A). The majority of these studies were retrospective (4/9 studies). The risk factors associated with colonization/infection by S. aureus were use of antimicrobials (4/9 studies), previous hospitalization (4/9 studies) and low CD4+ T lymphocyte counts (<200 cells/μl) (3/9 studies). Culture in mannitol salt agar (3/9 studies) and the latex agglutination test (5/9 studies) were the main methods used for bacterial phenotypic identification. Genotypic profiles were accessed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (6/9 studies) and USA300 was the most prevalent lineage (5/9 studies). Most isolates were resistant to erythromycin (3/9 studies) and susceptible to vancomycin (4/9 studies). Ultimately, use of antimicrobials and previous hospitalization were the main risk factors for colonization/infection by methicillin-resistant S. aureus in HIV-infected individuals. However, the numbers of evaluated patients, the exclusion and inclusion criteria and the characterization of the S. aureus isolates were not uniform, which made it difficult to establish the characteristics associated with HIV patients who are colonized/infected by S. aureus.

ABSTRACT

Introdução:A infecção pelo HIV pode levar à imunossupressão progressiva e resultar em um complexo de infecções relacionadas à AIDS e outras manifestações nos indivíduos acometidos. Dados do Boletim Epidemiológico AIDS 2012, relatam, de 1980 a 2010, 241.662 óbitos por AIDS no Brasil. Niterói, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, é um município de médio porte, com cerca de 500 mil habitantes e excelentes indicadores socioeconômicos e culturais.Objetivo:Avaliar a possível relação de sazonalidade existente entre a distribuição temporal da demanda e da positividade de testes sorológicos anti-HIV no Laboratório Central de Saúde Pública Miguelote Viana (LCSPMV), de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro.Métodos:Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico de série temporal. Foram analisados os dados dedemanda, de positividade dos exames anti-HIV e dos dias trabalhados, coletados de um banco de dados referentes ao período de 2005 a 2010. Os dados foramavaliados estatisticamente por uma série temporal e testes de hipótese para tendência e sazonalidade. O LCSPMV é referência na dosagem de carga viral e níveis deCD4 para todas as unidades de saúde da rede pública de Niterói e também atende à população oriunda dos municípios que fazem parte da Região MetropolitanaII.Esta é uma pesquisa inovadora, visto que ainda não foram encontrados artigos que correlacionem aumentos/diminuições das demandas de exames anti-HIV com osrespectivos meses dos anos.Resultados:No período de janeiro de 2005 até dezembro de 2010, registramos 64.505 exames sorológicos anti-HIV, sendo em 2005,17,44% (11.252); em 2006, 16,36% (10.557); em 2007, 17,81% (11.494); em 2008, 17,12% (11.046); em 2009, 16,20% (10.452); e em 2010,15,04%(9.704).


Introduction:HIV infection can lead to a progressive immunosuppression and result in an AIDS-related infections complex and other manifestations in affected individuals. Data from the AIDS 2012 Epidemiological Bulletin from 1980 to 2010 reported 241,662 deaths from AIDS in Brazil. Niterói, in Rio de Janeiro State, isa medium-sized city, of 500,000 in habitants approximately and expressive socioeconomic and cultural indicators.Objective:To evaluate the relations hip between seasonal demand and positivity of anti-HIV tests in the Miguelote Viana Public Health Central Laboratory located in Niterói.Methods:This is a temporal series analytical cross-sectional study. Anti-HIV tests demand, positivity and days worked by Miguelote Viana Public Health Central Laboratory were analyzed froma database for the period from 2005 to 2010. Data was then statistically evaluated through a temporal seriesand hypothesis testing on tendency and seasonality.Miguelote Viana Public Health Central Laboratory is a reference center for the dosage of viral load and CD4 levels for all public health units of Niterói; also attending to the population of cities in Metropolitan Region II. This is an innovative research, since articles that relate anti-HIV tests demand increase/decrease with the respective months of the year have not been found yet. As a result, we present graphs, tables and charts.Results:From January 2005 to December 2010,we have registered 64,505 serological tests for HIV, as follows: 17.44% (11,252) in 2005; 16.36% (10,557) in 2006; 17.81% (11,494) in 2007; 17.12% (11,046)in 2008; 16.20% (10,452) in 2009; and 15.04% (9,704) in 2010. In annual average, the days worked per month were as follows: 20in 2005; 19.5 in 2006; 19.8 in2007; 19.6 in 2008; 19.7 in 2009 and 19.3 in 2010. The monthly average of days worked in the six years studied was: 21 in Jan; 17.3 in February; 21.6 in March;17.3 in April; 20 in May; 18.6 in June; 21.6 in July; 22 in August; 20.3 in September; 20.3 in October; 17.3 in November and 18.6 days in December. The annual average of positivity in absolute numbers was as follows: 42.6 in 2005; 44.0 in 2006; 38.3 in 2007; 32.8 in 2008; 24.25 in 2009and 25.25 in 2010. The average positivity per month in the six years studied was the following: 39.3 in January; 29.3 in February; 40.8 in March; 31.8 in April; 31.1 in May; 34.6 in June; 33.8 inJuly; 38.6 in August; 35.0 in September; 34.8 in October; 31.5 in November and 33.6 in December. The average percentage of positivity per month was as follows:January (4.35), February (3.85), March (3.95), April (3.88), May (3.56), June (2.34), July (3.54), August (3.80), September (3.79), October (3.60), November (3.92)and December (3.75). In the studied period (2005-2010), Carnival holidays occurred in the month of February, on the following days: 8, 28, 20, 5, 24 and 16,respectively.Conclusion:We observed no seasonal relation between demand and positivity of anti-HIV tests carried out at Miguelote Viana Public Health Central Laboratory. A significant statistical decrease occurred in both anti-HIV tests demand and positivity during the studied years of the 2005-2010 series.

ABSTRACT

A prevalência da infecção pelo Treponema pallidum diminuiu sensivelmente com a penicilina, porém se observa tendência mundial no recrudescimento da sífilis, em particular dos casos de sífilis congênita (SC). Objetivos: Descrever as repercussões neonatais da SC nos recém-nascidos (RN) notificados como caso de SC em um hospital público de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, no período de janeiro de 2005 a junho de 2006; observar o peso ao nascer e a sorologia dos RN com notificação de SC; descrever o tratamento dos casos de SC. Métodos: Amostra constituída de 35 fichas de notificação de SC do Centro de Vigilância Hospitalar do Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro (HUAP). Utilizaram-se dados da notificação e realizou-se visita domiciliar para coleta de sangue. esultados: A população foi constituída por 29 pacientes nascidos vivos, 4 nascidos mortos e 2 abortamentos. Apenas dois casos (6,9%) evidenciavam alterações ósseas de SC. O teste Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) realizado no líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) demonstrou-se não reator para todos os pacientes avaliados. O VDRL do soro dos RN no nascimento foi positivo para 23 (79,31%) pacientes. A penicilina G cristalina (PGC) foi administrada em 26 (89,65%) casos, a penicilina G procaína (PGP) em dois (6,9%) e um individuo utilizou PGC e PGP. Conclusão:O óbito fetal e aborto foram o desfecho mais ominoso como repercussão da SC. A alteração dos ossos longos foi pouco encontrada na amostra. O baixo peso ao nascer foi observado em poucos casos. O VDRL do LCR foi não reator em todos os casos. A utilização de diversos esquemas de antibiótico estava em desacordo com o protocolo proposto pelo Ministério da Saúde.


Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused due to bacterium Treponema pallidum.The prevalence of this infection decreased significantly by the use of penicillin, but it is observed that it reappears particularly in cases of congenital syphilis (CS).Objective:to describe the effects of neonatal CS in newborns (NB) in a public hospital in Niterói - RJ, from January 2005 to June 2006 and to observe the birth weight and serology of newborns with CS notification.The purpose of this study is also to describe the CS treatment in each case.Methods:a sample of 35 CS notifications was recorded from the Center for Hospital Surveillance at the Antonio Pedro University Hospital (HUAP), Niterói - RJ, from January 2005 to June 2006. Data from the notifications was used and homevisit was done to collect blood samples.Results:the study population is comprised of 29 live birth patients, four miscarriages and two stillbirths. Only two cases(6.9%) had evidence of CS bone abnormalities. The VDRL test performed in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the cases proved to be non-reactive for all patients.VDRL serum of newborns at birth was positive for 23 (79.31 %) patients. The crystalline penicillin G was administered in 26 (89.65 % cases,) procaine penicillinG in two (6.9%) and for one individual both crystalline penicillin G and procaine penicillin G was used.Conclusion:fetal death and abortion were the mostominous outcome and impact of CS. Long bones alterations were scarcely found in few samples. Low birth weight was observed in a few cases. CSF VDRL was not reactive in all cases. The use of several antibiotic regimens was in disagreement with the proposed protocol issued by the Ministry of Health.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to identify E. faecalis in saliva of patients that were divided into two groups: 10 patients with caries lesions and 10 caries-free patients. Material and methods: Saliva samples were collected with a sterile swab and inoculated in enterococcosel media for 48 hours. The positive samples were subcultured in broth agar - blood medium for storage and subsequent PCR analysis. The data were analyzed using the SPSS (÷2). Results: From the 20 cases included in the study, 3 were positive in the Enterococcosel medium, and both tests (culture and PCR) used confirmed that three of them belonged to the species E. faecalis. No samples were positive in Enterococcosel broth in the group of caries-free patients. From the three samples that were identified as Enterococcus in broth (positive bile esculin test), an amplified for E. faecalis PCR analysis (p > 0.005). Conclusion: Through the use of PCR, it was possible to identify the genus Enterococcus and the species E. faecalis in saliva of patients with carious lesions – the pathogen that may influence the prognosis of diseases of the oral cavity...
