ABSTRACT
Severe physical injury is a leading cause of posttraumatic syndrome (PTS). This is to develop a biomarker-based diagnostic algorithm for posttraumatic syndrome (BioPTS) study. This is a 2-year longitudinal cohort study assessing patients who were hospitalized beginning in 2015 at Chonnam National University Hospital in Gwangju, Korea, after experiencing severe physical injuries. Baseline evaluations were made during the acute phase (within 1 month) of the physical injury and included extensive information on sociodemographic and clinical variables as well as a list of biomarkers. All participants will be followed up for 2 years, and the diagnostic and predictive validities of various biomarkers for PTS will be estimated. The BioPTS study will develop the most accurate models for the diagnosis and prediction of PTS, and will contribute to existing research regarding the complex relationships between severe physical injury and psychological issues.

A cross sectional study was conducted from February - May 2009 with the objectives to find out profile of injuries among municipal primary school children in Siliguri, West Bengal and to identify the related factor associated with injury. 20% of total primary schools under municipal corporation of the town were selected and a pre-designed, pre-tested schedule was used to assess the profile of injury and associated factors. The Chi square test was usedto determine statistical significance at the 0.05 significance level. Out of 956 participants, a significantly higher injury was observed among males (68%). Open wound injuries were commonest (59.6%) occurring mainly at the extremities. Falls were mainly responsible for overall injuries. Injury at home (41.8%) was also found to be more.

ABSTRACT
En la cavidad bucal se pueden producir una variedad de lesiones de diferente etiología, por ello es muy importante que el odontólogo las identifique y conozca las consecuencias que ocasiona si no se previenen o tratan a tiempo. Se funda como premisa que el cuidado periodontal es, en esencia, labor del odontólogo general y que éste no puede pasar por alto la responsabilidad de proveer atención a todos los pacientes. La incidencia excesivamente elevada de los problemas periodontales entre la población, dificulta que un número reducido de especialistas los pueda enfrentar. Asimismo, el estrecho vínculo entre los tratamientos dentales restaurativos y los regímenes periodontales hace muy importante que el odontólogo general disponga de conocimientos a fondo sobre periodoncia. En la cavidad bucal se producen variedades de lesiones de origen traumático ya sea por injurias químicas, físicas y térmicas estás representan una urgencia en Odontología. El propósito de este reporte es describir las diferentes presentaciones clínicas de dicha patología, su etiología, diagnósticos diferenciales y diferentes métodos de tratamiento, para valorar sus complicaciones y cuidados postoperatorios. Para ello se realizó basado en los lineamientos de la investigación descriptiva documental, una revisión de la literatura nacional e internacional
A variety of different etiologies pathologies can affect the oral cavity, due to this reason, dentists must be able to identify them and their consequences if they are not treated on time. It is primordial for the general practitioner dentists the periodontal care of their patients. Among the population the periodontal diseases are very common and only a reduced number of specialists can treat them. The close relation between restorative dental treatments and periodontal treatment procedures lead to the tendency that de general practitioner has enough knowledge in the periodontal field. Among the variety of pathologic entities that affect the oral mucosa, that presents as ulcer and are really Traumatic lesions in its different types chemical injury, physical injury, thermal injury It is considered one of the emergencies in dentistry. Dentist must be able to recognize and treat them. The purpose of this research is to describe the possible etiologic agents, clinical features and treatment of this disease and also to recommend the multidisciplinary attention to these patient. For this paper was made a study based on the lineaments of the descriptive documental research, mainly with scientific bibliographic references literature national and international
