ABSTRACT

Introducción: La gingivoestomatitis herpética aguda es la forma más común de infección gingival en la niñez. Objetivo: evaluar la efectividad de la terapia floral de Bach en niños con dicha infección. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de intervención terapéutica en 42 niños de 2 a 6 años de edad, quienes acudieron al Departamento de Estomatología del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso, desde el 2016 hasta diciembre del 2018. De forma aleatoria, se distribuyeron en 2 grupos con 21 miembros cada uno: el de estudio (números pares), recibió la aplicación sublingual de terapia floral, y el de control (números impares), fue tratado de la forma habitual con aciclovir en crema sobre las lesiones. Para la recolección de los datos se confeccionó una planilla que incluyó la evolución de los síntomas clínicos y psicológicos valorados en la entrevista a los padres y en el examen clínico. Se utilizó el porcentaje como medida de resumen y el estadígrafo de Ji al cuadrado con una confiabilidad de 95 %. Resultados: En el grupo de estudio se halló una mejoría clínica de los síntomas en más de 50,0 % de los pacientes a las 72 horas de recibir el tratamiento y en 100,0 % de estos al séptimo día; sin embargo, en el grupo de control se logró esta mejoría en 57,1 % de los afectados. Conclusiones: La favorable evolución clínica y psicológica puso de manifiesto la utilidad de esta terapia en los niños con gingivoestomatitis herpética aguda.


Introduction: Acute herpetic gingivostomatitis is the most common form of infection in childhood. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of Bach's floral therapy in children with this infection. Methods: A study of therapeutic intervention in 42 children from 2 to 6 years of age who went to the Stomatology Department of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital was carried out, from 2016 to December, 2018. They were distributed in 2 groups in a random way, with 21 members each: that of study (even numbers), received the floral therapy sublingually, and that of control (odd numbers), was treated in the habitual way with acyclovir in cream on the lesions. For the gathering of the data a schedule was made which included the clinical course of the clinical and psychological symptoms evaluated in the interview to the parents and in the clinical exam. Percentage was used as summary measure and the Chi squared statistician with a confidence of 95 %. Results: In the study group there was a clinical improvement of the symptoms in more than 50.0 % of the patients at the 72 hours of receiving the treatment and in 100.0 % of these to the seventh day; however, in the control group this improvement was achieved in 57.1 % of those affected. Conclusions: The favorable clinical and psychological clinical course showed the usefulness of this therapy in the children with acute herpetic gingivostomatitis.

ABSTRACT

Se efectuó un estudio de intervención terapéutica en 60 pacientes con diabetes mellitus y periodontitis leve, atendidos en la consulta estomatológica del Hospital General Docente Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba, con vistas a determinar si el tratamiento realizado favorecería el control metabólico de los afectados, desde noviembre de 2015 hasta igual mes de 2016. Se formaron 2 grupos de manera aleatoria con 30 integrantes cada uno: de estudio (números pares), quienes recibieron la fase inicial del tratamiento, raspado y alisado radicular; de control (números impares), se les indicó fase inicial e irrigaciones subgingivales con clorhexidina. Antes y después del tratamiento periodontal se realizaron exámenes de glucemia y hemoglobina glicosilada. Se utilizó la prueba de Ji al cuadrado de homogeneidad para la comparación entre dichos grupos, con una significación de 95%. Se concluyó que la terapia periodontal fue eficaz en el control metabólico de los pacientes


A study of therapeutic intervention in 60 patients with diabetes mellitus and light periodontitis, assisted in the estomatological service of Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, aimed at determining if the treatment would favor the metabolic control of the affected patients, was carried out from November, 2015 to the same month in 2016. Two groups were formed at random with 30 members each: a study group (even numbers) who received the initial phase of the treatment, radicular scrapring and smoothing; a control group (odd numbers), they were indicated initial phase and subgingival irrigations with chlorhexidine. Before and after the periodontal treatment glycemia and glycosylated hemoglobin exams were carried out. The chi-square test of homogeneity was used for the comparison among these groups, with a significance of 95%. It was concluded that the periodontal therapy was effective in the metabolic control of the patients

ABSTRACT

Se analizan los efectos farmacológicos inducidos por la acción de los medicamentos en las estructuras bucales, tales como mucosa, dientes, glándulas salivales, sistema neuromuscular, sistema del gusto y manifestaciones de premalignidad, pseudomalignidad, así como malignidad asociada a medicamentos; además, se justifican los intereses diagnóstico y pronóstico. También se realiza una revisión del estado actual de los efectos adversos medicamentosos en la cavidad bucal, lo cual sustenta el interés en estas lesiones, pues se considera su gran polimorfismo clínico al extremo de potencialmente abarcar toda la gama de lesiones elementales de la mucosa y tejidos duros dentales, así como la gran diversidad de agentes medicamentosos capaces de generarlas.


The pharmacological effects induced by the action of the medicines in the oral structures , such as mucous, teeth, salivary glands, neuromuscular system, taste system, also premalignant manifestations, pseudomalignancy, as well as malignancy associated to medicines are analyzed; besides, the diagnosis and prognosis interests are justified. A review of the current state of the medicine adverse effects in the oral cavity is also carried out, which sustains the interest in these injuries, because their great clinical polymorphism is considered to such an extent of potentially covering the whole range of elementary injuries of the mucous and hard dental tissues, as well as the great diversity of medicine agents able to generate them.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 26 pacientes con uveítis, atendidos en el Servicio de Estomatología del Hospital General Docente "Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba, desde mayo hasta diciembre del 2011, con vistas a describir las infecciones bucales frecuentemente asociadas a dicha afección y la importancia del tratamiento estomatológico en estos enfermos. La información se obtuvo de las entrevistas y las historias clínicas; además, se realizó examen físico intrabucal y estudio radiográfico para diagnosticar y tratar la presencia de caries, procesos periapicales, procesos pulpares y enfermedades periodontales. Se empleó el programa SPSS versión 10.0 y como medidas de resumen, los índices y los porcentajes. Todos los afectados presentaron algún tipo de infección bucal, con mayor frecuencia de las periodontitis y los procesos periapicales en dientes posteriores del maxilar superior. La agudeza visual tuvo gran mejoría debido al tratamiento conjunto oftalmológico y estomatológico.


A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 26 patients with uveitis, treated at the Stomatology Department of "Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba from May to December 2011, in order to describe oral infections often associated with this condition and the importance of dental treatment in these patients. Data were obtained from interviews and medical records. Moreover, oral examination and radiographic study were performed to diagnose and treat dental caries, periapical and pulpal conditions and periodontal diseases. The software SPSS version 10.0 and rates and percentages as summary measure were used. All patients had some type of oral infection with increased frequency of periodontitis and periapical conditions in posterior maxillary teeth. Visual acuity greatly improved due to combined dental and ophthalmological treatment.

ABSTRACT

It is known that hormones influence significantly the prostate tissue. However, we reported that mating induces an increase in androgen receptors, revealing a neural influence on the gland. These data suggested that somatic afferents (scrotal and genitofemoral nerves) and autonomic efferents (pelvic and hypogastric nerves) could regulate the structure of the prostate. Here we assessed the role of these nerves in maintaining the histology of the gland. Hence, afferent or efferent nerves of male rats were transected. Then, the ventral and dorsolateral regions of the prostate were processed for histology. Results showed that afferent transection affects prostate histology. The alveoli area decreased and increased in the ventral and dorsolateral prostate, respectively. The epithelial cell height increased in both regions. Efferent denervation produced dramatic changes in the prostate gland. The tissue lost its configuration, and the epithelium became scattered and almost vanished. Thus, afferent nerves are responsible for spinal processes pertaining to the trophic control of the prostate, activating its autonomic innervation. Hence, our data imply that innervation seems to be synergic with hormones for the healthy maintenance of the prostate. Thus, it is suggested that some prostate pathologies could be due to the failure of the autonomic neural pathways regulating the gland.


Sabe-se que os hormônios influenciam significativamente o tecido prostático. Entretanto, nós demonstramos que o acasalamento induz um aumento nos receptores androgênicos, revelando uma influência neural sobre a glândula. Esses dados sugerem que os aferentes somáticos (nervos escrotal e genito-femural) e os eferentes autonômicos (nervos pélvicos e hipo-gástricos) poderiam regular a estrutura da próstata. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a função destes nervos na manutenção da histologia da glândula. Dessa forma, os nervos aferentes e eferentes de ratos machos foram seccionados As regiões ventral e dorsolateral da próstata foram processadas para histologia. Os resultados mostraram que a transecção aferente afeta a histologia da próstata. A área alveolar diminuiu e aumentou na próstata dorsal e dorsolateral, respectivamente. A altura da célula epitelial aumentou em ambas as regiões. A desenervação eferente produziu alterações dramáticas na glândula prostática. O tecido perdeu a sua configuração e o epitélio tornou-se difuso e quase desapareceu. Assim, os nervos aferentes são responsáveis por processos espinhais que pertencem ao controle trófico da próstata, ativando sua inervação autonômica. Dessa forma, nossos dados sugerem que a inervação parece ser sinérgica com os hormônios para a manutenção saudável da próstata. Assim, sugere-se que algumas patologias prostáticas poderiam ser ocasionadas devido a falhas nas vias neurais autonômicas que regulam esta glândula.

ABSTRACT

Balantidium coli is the etiologic agent of balantidiasis, an infrequent zoonose of worldwide distribution. The objective of the present study was to determine the clinical and epidemiological aspects of balantidiasis in a rural community in the bolivar state in Venezuela. Fifty persons and 12 pigs were evaluated. Fecal samples were analyzed by direct examination and by the methods of Faust and Willis. The global rate of intestinal parasitoses detected was 88.0 percent for the human population and 83.3 percent for the pigs. The prevalence of human and porcine balantidiais was 12.0 percent (6/50) and 33.3 percent (4/12), respectively. The disease was only detected in children, all of them with multiple parasites and with clinical manifestations. Deficient environmental sanitation, absence of basic services in the dwellings, low socioeconomic level, and the presence of pigs infected with B. coli are the factors that explain and maintain the conditions favorable to the transmission of balantidiasis in the population studied
