ABSTRACT

To investigate the presence of periodontitis in RA patients comparing it with controls in a Brazilian sample. Methods: This is a case control study conducted in a public health rheumatologic center. One hundred and sixteen RA patients and 68 paired controls were compared for epidemiological data and presence of periodontal disease evaluated by number of remaining teeth, presence of bacterial plaque, bleeding on probing, probing depth and clinical level of gingival insertion. In addition, data on comorbidities was collected. Results: RA patients and controls have the same amount of teeth loss (P = 0.84). RA patients had more calculus (P = 0.02); dental plaques (P = 0.04); gingival recession (P = 0.02) and bleeding (P = 0.01). Although the number of individuals with periodontitis was higher in RA patients, the severity of periodontitis was similar in both groups (P = ns). Presence of diabetes and hypothyroidism also associated with periodontitis (P = 0.01 and 0.02 respectively). In a model of logistic regression built to assess the independence of association of RA and its comorbidities with periodontitis, only diabetes and RA remained independent. Conclusion: This case control study shows higher frequency of periodontitis in RA patients than controls

ABSTRACT

Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares compõem importante causa de óbito pelo mundo, sendo as doenças isquêmicas do coração responsáveis por um número considerável dessas mortes. A COVID-19, doença causada pelo SARS-CoV-2, pode causar importantes complicações e implicações cardiovasculares, dentre elas as síndromes coronarianas agudas. Este estudo teve como objetivo relacionar dados de prevalência de síndromes coronarianas agudas durante o período de pandemia pela COVID-19 (2020) com os dados do ano anterior (2019). Métodos: Trata-se de estudo retrospectivo, descritivo, analítico e transversal, com obtenção de variáveis por meio da análise dos prontuários de todos os pacientes adultos, de ambos os sexos, internados por infarto agudo do miocárdio, angina instável e doença isquêmica do coração entre os meses de janeiro a dezembro de 2019 e de janeiro a dezembro de 2020, em um hospital de referência para cardiologia em Curitiba (PR). As variáveis obtidas foram sobre diagnóstico dessas doenças, consulta clínica, exames laboratoriais e exames de imagem. Os dados encontrados foram correlacionados entre si para definirmos possíveis relações de causalidade. Resultados: Houve redução de 40,38% na incidência de internamentos pelos diagnósticos citados em 2020 em comparação a 2019. Não houve diferença entre dias de início de sintomas entre os anos comparados, dias de internamento ou número de comorbidades apresentadas pelos pacientes, apesar de haver maior número de diagnósticos de angina instável e de presença de dor torácica nos indivíduos atendidos em 2020. Conclusão: A pandemia da COVID-19 impactou a vida de todas as pessoas, inclusive na busca por atendimento em unidades de saúde e hospitais em todo o mundo, resultando em menor procura aos serviços de saúde, inclusive para doenças graves e agudas, que podem levar ao aumento da morbimortalidade populacional.


Background: Cardiovascular diseases are an important cause of death worldwide, and ischemic heart diseases account for a considerable number of these deaths. COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, may pose important cardiovascular complications and implications, including acute coronary syndromes. This study aimed to compare prevalence data of acute coronary syndromes during the COVID-19 pandemic period (2020) to the previous year (2019). Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional study, with variables acquired through the analysis of the medical records of all adult patients of both sexes admitted for acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and ischemic heart disease between the months of January to December 2019, and January to December 2020, to a cardiology reference hospital in Curitiba (PR). The variables obtained were about diagnosis of these diseases, clinical consultation, laboratory tests, and imaging tests. The data found were then correlated with each other to define possible causal relations. Results: There was a 40.38% reduction in the incidence of hospitalizations for the cited diagnoses in 2020 compared to 2019. There was no difference between days of onset of symptom between the compared years, days of hospitalization, or number of comorbidities presented by patients, although there was a higher number of diagnoses of unstable angina and presence of chest pain in individuals seen in 2020. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the lives of all people, including the search for care in health facilities and hospitals worldwide, resulting in a lower demand for health services, including for severe and acute diseases, which can lead to increased morbidity and mortality in the population.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar se há mudança refracional significativa após realização de capsulotomia posterior com laser Nd:YAG em olhos pseudofácicos. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo com análise de prontuários de pacientes atendidos em um hospital com diagnóstico de opacificação de cápsula posterior do cristalino tratada com capsulotomia posterior com laser Nd:YAG no período de outubro de 2019 a março de 2021. A comparação entre a refração antes e após o procedimento foi realizada calculando-se o equivalente esférico. Também foi avaliada a mudança da acuidade visual, aferida por LogMAR. Resultados: Foram analisados 90 prontuários, totalizando 140 olhos, de pacientes submetidos à capsulotomia posterior com laser Nd:YAG. O equivalente esférico médio pré-procedimento foi de -0,07±0,89D, mínimo de -3,0D e máximo de +2,5D, mediana (intervalo interquartil) de 0,0D (-0,50D a +0,375D). A média pós-procedimento foi de -0,18±0,86D, mínimo de -3,5D e máximo de +2,25D, mediana (intervalo interquartil) de -0,125D (-0,50D a 0,0D). com p<0,0082. Dos 140 olhos, 66 sofreram miopização e 37 hipermetropização. A média de alteração do equivalente esférico geral foi de -0,12±0,51D, mínimo de -2,50D e máximo de +1,25D, mediana (intervalo interquartil) de 0,0D (-0,375D a +0,125D). Ao se comparar a diferença entre o equivalente esférico antes e após o procedimento do grupo de olhos que sofreu miopização (n=66) ou hipermetropização (n=37), separadamente, ambos obtiveram p<0,0001. Ao se compararem todos os olhos que sofreram alguma alteração refracional (n=103), foi encontrado p=0,008. A acuidade visual média pré-procedimento foi de 0,23±0,32, mínimo de 0,0 e máximo de 2,3. Pós-procedimento, a média foi de 0,06±0,13, mínimo de -0,12 e máximo de 0,7, com p<0,0001. Conclusão: A capsulotomia posterior com laser Nd:YAG gerou melhora significativa da acuidade visual nos pacientes do estudo, porém também gerou alteração refracional significativa após o procedimento, tanto para miopização (a mais frequente), quanto para hipermetropização.


ABSTRACT Objective: To identify if there is a significant change on refraction after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy in pseudophakic eyes. Methods: A retrospective study with analysis of medical records of patients treated at a hospital, with diagnosis of opacification of posterior lens capsule treated with Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy, from October 2019 to March 2021. The comparison of refraction before and after the procedure was performed by calculating the spherical equivalent. Changes in visual acuity (VA), measured by LogMAR, were also evaluated. Results: A total of 90 medical records (140 eyes) of patients submitted to Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy were analysed. The mean pre-procedure spherical equivalent was -0.07±0.89D, minimum of -3.0D and maximum of +2.5D, median (interquartile range) of 0.0D (-0.50D to +0.375D). The post-procedure mean was -0.18±0.86D, minimum of -3.5D and maximum of +2.25D, median (interquartile range) of -0.125D (-0.50D to 0.0D), with p <0.0082. Of the 140 eyes, 66 underwent myopia and 37 hyperopia, the mean change in the general spherical equivalent was -0.12±0.51D, minimum -2.50D and maximum +1.25D, median (interquartile range) of 0.0D (-0.375D to +0.125D). When comparing the difference between the spherical equivalent before and after the procedure of the group of eyes that underwent myopia (n=66) or hyperopia (n=37), separately, both obtained p<0.0001. When comparing all eyes that suffered any change on refraction (n=103), the p value was 0.008. The mean pre-procedure visual acuity was 0.23±0.32, minimum of 0.0 and maximum of 2.3. After the procedure, the mean was 0.06±0.13, minimum of -0.12 and maximum of 0.7, p<0.0001. Conclusion: Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy significantly improved visual acuity of patients in this study; however, it also led to a significant change on refraction after the procedure, both for myopization, which was more frequent, and for hyperopization.
