ABSTRACT

As indicações de tratamento das fraturas mandibulares em paciente pediátrico variam em conservador, fixação não rígida e interna rígida. Alterações no crescimento ósseo, disfunções na articulação temporomandibular e assimetrias faciais podem ser decorrentes ao insucesso do tratamento. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em relatar abordagem cirúrgica em fratura de sínfise e côndilo mandibular bilateral em paciente pediátrico. Paciente gênero feminino, 09 anos de idade, foi encaminhada ao Hospital Geral do Estado - Bahia vítima de queda de nível, cursando com trauma em face. Apresentou queixa principal, referida pela progenitora, de dificuldades em fechar a boca. Ao exame físico, a paciente apresentou mobilidade atípica à manipulação da mandíbula, mordida aberta anterior, equimose sublingual, ausência das unidades dentárias 74 e 75, com abertura bucal regular e suturas em posição em região de mento. Ao exame de imagem de tomografia computadorizada da face, pôde-se notar sinais sugestivos de fratura em região de sínfise e côndilos mandibulares bilateral. Após diagnóstico das fraturas, a paciente foi submetida à cirurgia sob anestesia geral para redução e fixação das mesmas. Realizou-se acessos em ferimento na região mentual e retromandibular bilateral com posterior síntese das fraturas utilizando fixação interna rígida com placas do sistema 2.0mm, associada a odontossíntese na fratura de sínfise. Ao acompanhamento periódico, a eleição do tratamento cirúrgico para fraturas mandibulares em pacientes pediátricos, pode permitir segurança no crescimento ósseo mandibular e facial(AU)


The indications for treatment of mandibular fractures in pediatric patients vary from conservative, non-rigid fixation and rigid internal fixation. Changes in bone growth, temporomandibular joint disorders and facial asymmetries may be due to treatment failure. The objective of this work is to report a surgical approach to bilateral symphysis and mandibular condyle fractures in a pediatric patient. Female patient, 9 years old, was sent to the State General Hospital - Bahia, victim of a fall in level, suffering from trauma to the face. She presented a main complaint, mentioned by her mother, of difficulties in closing her mouth. On physical examination, the patient presented atypical mobility when manipulating the jaw, anterior open bite, sublingual ecchymosis, absence of dental units 74 and 75, with regular mouth opening and sutures in position in the chin region. When examining the computed tomography image of the face, signs suggestive of fracture in the region of the symphysis and bilateral mandibular condyles were noted. After diagnosis of the fractures, the patient underwent surgery under general anesthesia to reduce and fix them. Access was performed on a wound in the mental and bilateral retromandibular region with subsequent synthesis of the fractures using rigid internal fixation with 2.0mm system plates, associated with odontosynthesis in the symphysis fracture. With periodic monitoring, the choice of surgical treatment for mandibular fractures in pediatric patients can allow for safe mandibular and facial bone growth(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Síndrome da Pessoa Rígida (SPR) é uma doença neurológica autoimune rara caracterizada pela rigidez e espasmos musculares episódicos dolorosos, especialmente no tronco e extremidades do corpo, gerando comprometimento funcional importante. Existe uma lacuna de conhecimento sobre os possíveis efeitos do tratamento manipulativo osteopático (TMO) nos sintomas motores de pessoas com SPR. Objetivos: Descrever os efeitos do TMO na tontura, equilíbrio e amplitude de movimento (ADM) cervical em uma pessoa com a SPR e miastenia gravis. Método: Relato de caso baseado no TMO em uma mulher com SPR e miastenia grave. As seguintes avaliações foram utilizadas: Inventário de Brazilian Version of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Fall Efficacy Scale (FES I ­ Brazil), Timed Get Up and Go Test (TUG), Teste de Sentar e Levantar 5 vezes, goniometria dos movimentos da coluna cervical. Resultados: Nenhum resultado expressivo foi obtido pela FES-I (-1,8%) e DHI (0%). Para os testes funcionais (TUG e Sentado para de pé 5 vezes) observamos melhora de 5,8% e 6,7%, respectivamente, após o tratamento. A ADM cervical melhorou substancialmente em todos os movimentos avaliados (flexão: 60%, extensão: 28%, rotação direita: 33%, rotação esquerda:38%, inclinação lateral direita: 77%, inclinação lateral esquerda: 87%). Conclusão: O TMO proposto pareceu ser importante para melhora da ADM cervical no caso relatado. Medo de quedas, impacto da tontura na qualidade de vida e funcionalidade de membros inferiores não demonstrou melhoras após o TMO.


Introduction: Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurological autoimmune disease characterized by stiffness and painful episodic muscle spasms, especially in the trunk and extremities of the body, causing significant functional impairment in affected individuals. There is a gap in knowledge about the possible effects of an osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on the motor symptoms of people with SPS. Objectives: To describe the effects of an OMT on dizziness, balance deficit, and cervical range of motion (ROM) in a patient with SPS and myasthenia gravis. Methods: This is a case report on an OMT intervention in a woman with SPS and myasthenia gravis. The following assessments were used: Brazilian Version of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Fall Efficacy Scale (FES I ­ Brazil), Timed Get Up and Go Test (TUG), Stand Up Test 5 times, goniometry of cervical movements. Results: No expressive results were obtained for FES I ­ Brazil (-1.8%) and DHI (0%). For the functional tests (TUG and Sit and stand up 5x) we observed an improvement of 5.8% and 6.7%, respectively, after treatment. The cervical ROM improved substantially in all movements tested (flexion: 60%, extension: 28%, right rotation: 33%, left rotation: 38%, right side bending: 77%, left side bending: 87%). Conclusion: The proposed OMT appears to be important for the improvement of cervical ROM in this case. Fear of falls, impact of dizziness on quality of life, and lower limb functionality did not demonstrate meaningful improvements after the OMT.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El síndrome de persona rígida es un cuadro neuro lógico infrecuente caracterizado por rigidez muscular de tronco y extremidades y espasmos musculares ga tillados por estímulos sensoriales o emocionales, que progresa hacia la postración. Cuenta con un mecanismo fisiopatogénico con base inmunológica, en el cual los autoanticuerpos, como el antiGAD65, cumplen un rol central. Asimismo, la detección de dichos anticuerpos corrobora el diagnóstico ante un paciente con cuadro clínico sugestivo. Un 4 a 6% de los casos tienen neoplasias subyacentes. El tratamiento se basa en el manejo sintomático, inmunomodulador y de la enfermedad de base en los casos paraneoplásicos. Reportamos un caso de síndrome de persona rígida clásico asociado a timoma y describimos las características principales de esta entidad.


Abstract Stiff-person syndrome is a rare neurological condi tion characterized by muscular rigidity of the trunk and extremities and muscle spasms triggered by sensory or emotional stimuli, which progresses towards prostra tion. It has a pathophysiogenic mechanism with an immunological basis, in which autoantibodies, such as antiGAD65, play a central role. Likewise, the detec tion of these antibodies corroborates the diagnosis in a patient with a suggestive clinical picture. Four to 6% of cases have underlying neoplasms. Treatment is based on symptomatic, immunomodulatory, and underlying disease management in paraneoplastic cases. We re port a case of classic stiff person syndrome associated with thymoma and review the main characteristics of this entity.

RESUMEN Introducción: la introducción fortuita de un cuerpo extraño en las vías respiratorias es un accidente dramático que puede provocar complicaciones, aunque raro en los adultos, y sobre todo su presentación tardía, y en bronquio izquierdo. Caso clínico: se reporta el caso de un paciente de 71 años con un cuerpo extraño de presentación tardía en bronquiotronco izquierdo, que consultó por un cuadro de sepsis respiratoria, sin otros síntomas asociados, cuatro meses posteriores a referir haberse tragado un hueso de pollo, ocasión ésta en que el examen físico y los estudios radiológicos fueron negativos. Se realizó estudio con TAC de tórax y broncoscopia flexible evidenciándose una imagen sugerente de un cuerpo extraño en el bronquiotronco izquierdo. Discusión: después de realizar broncoscopia rígida y extracción de cuerpo extraño, presenta varias complicaciones, que requieren ingreso en terapia intensiva, la evolución clínica posterior fue favorable, con radiografía de tórax de control con adecuada reexpansión pulmonar y dándose de alta a los 55 días después del diagnóstico. Conclusiones: en presencia de un paciente con sepsis respiratoria después de un cuadro de broncoaspiración se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico de aspiración de un cuerpo extraño. La extracción del cuerpo extraño resulta la solución definitiva.


ABSTRACT Introduction: the fortuitous introduction of a foreign body in the respiratory tract is a dramatic accident that can cause complications, although rare in adults, and especially its late presentation, and in the left bronchus. Clinical case: we report the case of a 71-year-old patient with a late-onset foreign body in the left bronchial trunk, who consulted for respiratory sepsis, with no other associated symptoms, four months after reporting having swallowed a chicken bone. On which occasion the physical examination and radiological studies were negative. A CT scan of the chest and flexible bronchoscopy were performed, revealing an image suggestive of a foreign body in the left bronchial trunk. Discussion: after performing rigid bronchoscopy and extraction of a foreign body, he presented several complications, which required admission to intensive care, the subsequent clinical evolution was favorable, with a control chest X-ray with adequate lung re-expansion and being discharged 55 days later. of the diagnosis. Conclusions: in the presence of a patient with respiratory sepsis after a picture of bronchoaspiration, the diagnosis of aspiration of a foreign body should be taken into account. Extraction of the foreign body is the definitive solution.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: semi-rigid ureteroscopy is the procedure of choice for the treatment of ureterolithiasis, but it requires a learning curve to be performed safely. Objective: To describe an estimate of the learning curve for performing semi-rigid ureterorenolithotripsy in patients with small-sized ureterolithiasis and to estimate the minimum number of procedures necessary to safely perform the surgical procedure. Methods: this is a prospective study evaluating the learning curve of a resident of urology in the first 60 semirigid ureteroscopies in patients with ureterolithiasis up to 1cm. The patients were divided into three groups: Group I one to twenty surgeries, Group II twenty one to forty surgeries and Group III forty one to sixty surgeries. The surgeries were recorded and analyzed by two urologists experienced in endourology. A qualitative analysis was performed based on a previously validated tool and a quantitative analysis. Results: all qualitative variables had significant variation between Groups I and II (p<0.001), and between Groups I and III (p<0.001). There was a difference in time to access the ureter, passage of a double J catheter and total operative time between Groups I and II (p<0.001) and Groups I and III (p<0.001). Conclusion: after 40 cases there seems to be little increase in both quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation in surgical performance for performing semi-rigid ureterolithotripsy safely in calculations up to 1cm.


RESUMO Introdução: ureteroscopia semi-rígida é o procedimento de escolha para o tratamento da ureterolitíase, mas necessita de uma curva de aprendizado para ser executada com segurança. Objetivo: descrever uma estimativa da curva de aprendizado para realização da ureterorrenolitotripsia semi-rígida em pacientes com ureterolitíase de pequena dimensão e estimar o número mínimo de procedimentos necessários para realizar o procedimento cirúrgico com segurança. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo prospectivo avaliando a curva de aprendizado de um residente de urologia nas primeiras 60 ureteroscopias semi-rígidas em pacientes com ureterolitíase até 1cm. Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos: Grupo I uma a vinte cirurgias, Grupo II vinte e uma a quarenta cirurgias e Grupo III quarenta e uma a sessenta cirurgias. As cirurgias foram gravadas e analisadas por dois urologistas experientes em endourologia. Foi feita uma análise qualitativa baseada em uma ferramenta previamente validada e uma análise quantitativa. Resultados: todas as variáveis qualitativas tiveram variação significativa entre os Grupos I e II (p<0.001), e entre os Grupos I e III (p<0.001). Houve diferença no tempo para acesso ao ureter, passagem de cateter duplo J e tempo operatório total entre os Grupos I e II (p<0.001) e nos Grupos I e III (p<0.001). Conclusão: após 40 casos parece haver pouco incremento tanto na avaliação quantitativa bem como na avaliação qualitativa em performance cirúrgica para a realização de ureterolitotripsia semi-rígida com segurança em cálculos de até 1cm.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El síndrome de persona rígida afecta el sistema nervioso central. Los signos clínicos relevantes son la rigidez, los espasmos musculares y sensibilidad incrementada a los estímulos externos, que inducen las contracciones musculares. Las mujeres son afectadas de 2 a 3 veces más con relación a los hombres. Hay marcadores de tipo clínico y electrofisiológico característicos. La etiología se asocia con la mediación por anticuerpos y puede ser la expresión de un síndrome paraneoplásico. El tratamiento farmacológico se realiza con medicamentos relajantes musculares y medicamentos con mecanismo inmunomodulador o inmunosupresor. Adicionalmente, se requiere un plan complementario de rehabilitación. El propósito del grupo es hacer una descripción del caso clínico, que consideramos es relevante por su baja frecuencia de presentación y realizar una actualización sobre el tema.


A B S T R A C T Stiff person syndrome affects the central nervous system. Relevant clinical signs are stiffness, muscle spasms, increased sensitivity with external stimuli that increase muscle contractions. Women are affected twice to three times more, in comparation with the men. There are characteristic clinical and electrophysiological type markers. The etiology is associated with mediation by antibodies and may be the expression of a paraneoplastic syndrome. Pharmacological treatment is focused on muscle relaxant-type medications, drugs with immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive mechanism. In adition, complementary rehabilitation treatment is required. The purpose of the group is to make the description of the clinical case that is relevant due to the low frequency of presentation and to carry out an update of the topic.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Generar una aproximación a las terapias no farmacológicas que disminuyan el dolor durante la realización de la cistoscopia. Métodos Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura para identificar artículos relevantes con respecto al tópico, utilizando como palabras clave: cistoscopia, dolor, terapia no farmacológica en cistoscopia y terapias alternativas. La búsqueda se hizo a través de Medline y Embase. Se realizó una revisión narrativa. Resultados Aunque la cistoscopia flexible aumenta la tolerancia, especialmente en pacientes masculinos, el dolor sigue siendo inevitable durante la misma. Se han estudiado diferentes intervenciones no farmacológicas orientadas a disminuir el dolor y la ansiedad durante la cistoscopia, entre las que se encuentran: escuchar música, tomar la mano del paciente, ver el procedimiento en tiempo real, el aumento de la presión hidrostática, insuflación con aire y la hipnosis. Conclusión Esas intervenciones podrían ser usadas como adyuvantes en la disminución del dolor y la ansiedad durante la cistoscopia, principalmente la masculina. Sin embargo, se requieren más estudios que comprueben su uso clínico apropiado.


Objective To generate an approach to non-pharmacological therapies that reduce pain during cystoscopy. Methods We searched the literature to identify relevant articles regarding the topic, using as keywords: cystoscopy, pain, non-pharmacological therapy in cystoscopy and alternative therapies. The search was made through Medline and Embase. A narrative review was made. Results Although flexible cystoscopy increases tolerance, especially in male patients, pain remains unavoidable during it. Different non-pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing pain and anxiety during cystoscopy have been studied, among which are: listening to music, taking the patient's hand, seeing the procedure in real time, increasing hydrostatic pressure, insufflation with air and hypnosis. Conclusion These interventions could be used as adjuvants in the reduction of pain and anxiety during cystoscopy, mainly male. However, more studies are required to prove their appropriate clinical use.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir la resolución de un caso un odontoma complejo de gran tamaño con utilización de osteosíntesis rígida. Caso clínico: Una paciente de 13 años de edad se presentó a la consulta por aumento de volumen en hemifacia izquierda, de 4 meses de evolución. Mediante biopsia incisional, se diagnosticó odontoma complejo. Se realizó tratamiento quirúrgico con utilización de osteosíntesis rígida. Se decidió retirar la placa de osteosíntesis a los 6 meses posoperatorios para evitar alterar el crecimiento y el desarrollo mandibular. Se indicó control posoperatorio durante 5 años. Conclusión: La utilización de osteosíntesis rígida fue adecuada para reforzar el defecto óseo mandibular producido durante el tratamiento quirúrgico de un odontoma complejo de gran tamaño (AU)


Aim: To describe the resolution of a case of a large complex odontoma with the use of rigid osteosynthesis. Clinical case: A 13-year-old patient presented with a swelling in left jaw of 4 months of evolution. Complex odontoma was diagnosed by incisional biopsy. Surgical treatment was performed with the use of rigid osteosynthesis. Removal of osteosynthesis plate was decided 6 months postoperatively to avoid alteration of mandibular growth and development. Postoperative control was indicated for 5 years. Conclusion: The use of rigid osteosynthesis was adequate to reinforce the mandibular bone defect produced during the surgical treatment of large complex odontoma (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el síndrome de la persona rígida (SPR) es una patología infrecuente caracterizada por la activación involuntaria de la unidad motora, causando rigidez fluctuante de la musculatura axial, espasmos musculares dolorosos y actividad motora continua en la electromiografía. En la mayoría de pacientes se encuentran niveles elevados de anticuerpos antiácido glutámico descarboxilasa. Presentación del caso: paciente de género femenino de 60 años de edad, con persistencia de sintomatología espasmódica muscular a pesar del manejo con medicamentos agonistas GABA e inmunomoduladores, por lo que se consideró el uso de plasmaféresis como tercera línea de tratamiento. Conclusiones: la experiencia con el uso de la técnica es favorable, hay disminución de los espasmos musculares en más del 50% al cabo de 7 sesiones. Aunque la plasmaféresis produjo alivio sintomático, son necesarios nuevos ensayos clínicos y reportes de caso para determinar su beneficio clínico y así protocolizar su aplicación.


Introduction: Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is an infrequent pathology, characterized by the involuntary activation of the motor unit, causing fluctuating rigidity of the axial muscles, painful muscle spasms and continuous motor activity in electromyography. In most patients, high levels of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies are found. Case presentation: Female patient of 60 years of age, with persistence of muscular spasmodic symptoms despite management with GABA agonist drugs and immuno modulators, for which the use of plasmapheresis as the third line of treatment was considered. Conclusions: The experience in the use of the technique is favorable, with a decrease in muscle spasms greater than 50% after 7 sessions. Although plasmapheresis produced symptomatic relief, new clinical trials and case reports are necessary to determine its clinical benefit and thus protocolize its application

ABSTRACT

Abstract Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), typified by rigidity in muscles of the torso and extremities and painful episodic spasms, is a rare autoimmune-based neurological disease. Here we present the successful endotracheal intubation and application of TIVA without muscle relaxants on an SPS patient. A 46 years old male patient was operated with ASA-II physical status because of lumber vertebral compression fracture. After induction of anesthesia using lidocaine, propofol and remifentanil tracheal intubation was completed easily without neuromuscular blockage. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol, remifentanil and O2/air mixture. After a problem-free intraoperative period the patient was extubated and seven days later was discharged walking with aid. Though the mechanism is not clear neuromuscular blockers and volatile anesthetics may cause prolonged hypotonia in patients with SPS. We think the TIVA technique, a general anesthetic practice which does not require neuromuscular blockage, is suitable for these patients.


Resumo A síndrome da pessoa rígida (SPR), caracterizada pela rigidez dos músculos do tronco e das extremidades e por episódios de espasmos dolorosos, é uma doença neurológica autoimune rara. Apresentamos o ocaso de intubação endotraqueal bem-sucedida e aplicação de AVT sem relaxantes musculares em um paciente com SPR. Paciente do sexo masculino, 46 anos, estado físico ASA-II, submetido à cirurgia devido à fratura por compressão da coluna lombar. Após a indução da anestesia com lidocaína, propofol e remifentanil, a intubação traqueal foi concluída com facilidade, sem bloqueio neuromuscular. A anestesia foi mantida com propofol, remifentanil e mistura de ar/O2. Após o período intraoperatório, que transcorreu sem intercorrências, o paciente foi extubado e, sete dias depois, recebeu alta, deambulando com ajuda. Embora o mecanismo não esteja claro, bloqueadores neuromusculares e anestésicos voláteis podem causar hipotonia prolongada em pacientes com SPR. Acreditamos que a técnica de AVT, uma prática de anestesia geral que não requer bloqueio neuromuscular, é adequada para esses pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los cuerpos extraños en vía aérea (CEVA) continúan siendo un desafío clínico que genera un espectro de presentaciones, desde mínima sintomatología a compromiso respiratorio, falla respiratoria e incluso muerte. Objetivos: Describir y analizar las características epidemiológicas y clínicas de los pacientes con sospecha de CEVA evaluados en el Hospital Guillermo Grant Benavente. Material y método: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo de pacientes con diagnóstico de CEVA admitidos en nuestro servicio de urgencia, entre los años 1997 y 2015. Se analizaron diferentes variables, especialmente en relación a síntomas, signos, hallazgos radiológicos, complicaciones, tratamiento y resultados. Resultados: Se encontraron 117 broncoscopías rígidas, confirmándose CEVA en 94 (80,4%). La mayoría niños entre 1-3 años. Hubo más de una consulta previa al diagnóstico en el 29,8%, siendo la mayoría de las consultas precoces. La mayoría informó síndrome de penetración, pero esto no hizo la diferencia en el diagnóstico. El 80,9% de los casos confirmados tuvo alguna alteración radiológica (excluyendo cuerpos radio-opacos) (p <0,05). Se ubicó en árbol bronquial derecho mayormente, siendo de una naturaleza variada. Se extrajo en el primer intento sin incidentes el 91,5%. No hubo complicaciones reportadas en relación a las extracciones. Conclusiones: Un cuerpo extraño en el tracto respiratorio es una emergencia quirúrgica, pudiendo ser incluso fatal. Un alto índice de sospecha es fundamental para evitar complicaciones.


Introduction: Airway Foreign bodies (AFB) remain a clinical challenge, generate a spectrum of presentations, from minimal symptoms to respiratory distress, respiratory failure and even death. Aim: To describe and analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with suspected AFB. Material and methods: A retrospective and descriptive study of patients diagnosed with AFB admitted to our Emergency Service between 1997 and 2015. Different variables were analyzed, especiallytheir symptoms, signs, radiologic findings, complications, treatment and outcomes. Results: 117 rigid bronchoscopies associated with suspected AFB were found. The diagnosis was confirmed in 94 cases (80.4%). Most ofthem were children between 1-3 years. There was more than one consultation before the diagnosis in 29.85. Most of the patients reported penetration syndrome, but this made no difference on diagnosis. 80.9% ofthe confirmed cases had some radiological alteration (excluding radiopaque bodies) (p <0.05). Most of the cases were found in the right bronchial tree and were of a varied nature. They were extracted in the first attempt without incidents in 91.5% of the cases. There were no reported complications regarding extractions. Conclusions: A foreign body in the respiratory tract is a surgical emergency, and may even be fatal. A high index of suspicion is essential to avoid complications.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Parapiptadenia rigida (angico-vermelho) is a native arboreal species widely found in central and southern Brazil and is indicated for restoration of degraded areas due to its high plasticity to light gradients and ease adaptation to degraded environments. However, there is still a lack of information on this species regarding the production of quality seedlings, as well as the rational use of the resources involved. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different substrates and irrigation schemes in the development of P. rigida seedlings. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, in a factorial scheme with split plots, with four substrate formulations (100% peat; 80% peat + 20% carbonized rice husk (CRH); 60% peat + 40% CRH; 40% peat + 60% CRH) and six irrigation schemes (4; 8; 12; 16; 20 and 24mm.day-1). At 180 days after emergence, the following parameters were evaluated: height, stem diameter, height and stem diameter ratio, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, total dry weight and Dickson Quality Index. Use of substrate composed of 80% peat + 20% carbonized rice husk and/or 100% peat, combined with irrigation scheme of 4mm day-1, resulted in the best growth of P. rigida seedlings.


RESUMO: Parapiptadenia rígida (angico-vermelho) é uma espécie arbórea nativa amplamente encontrada na região central e sul do Brasil, é indicada para restauração de áreas degradadas em virtude de sua alta plasticidade a gradientes de luz e facilidade de adaptação a ambientes degradados. No entanto, a espécie ainda carece de informações no que se refere a produção de mudas de qualidade, bem como, a utilização de forma racional dos recursos envolvidos. Dessa forma, esse estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos de diferentes substratos e regimes de rega no desenvolvimento de mudas de P. rigida . O delineamento experimental utilizado foi blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial com parcela subdividida, considerando quatro formulações de substratos (100% turfa; 80% turfa + 20% casca de arroz carbonizada (CAC); 60% turfa + 40% CAC; 40% turfa + 60% CAC) e seis regimes de rega (4; 8; 12; 16; 20 e 24mm.dia-1). Aos 180 dias após a emergência, foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros morfológicos: altura, diâmetro do coleto, relação altura e diâmetro do coleto, massa seca aérea, massa seca radicular, massa seca total e índice de qualidade de Dickson. Constatou-se que a utilização de substrato composto por 80% turfa + 20% casca de arroz carbonizada e/ou 100% turfa, combinado com o regime de rega de 4 mm.dia-1, proporcionam o maior crescimento das mudas de P. rigida.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Proctologic examination is a deeply intimate procedure which deals with a body area in which prejudices, taboos and constraints prevail, and may also relate to previous trauma; yet this procedure is of paramount importance for the investigation of patients with symptoms that foretell pathologies associated with distal colon, rectum and anus. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze all cases scheduled of rigid proctosigmoidoscopy performed by the Coloproctology Service, Hospital Santa Marcelina, in 8 of its 10 years of residency in the specialty. Materials and methods: We analyzed mean age, gender distribution, device's height of reach in relation to the anal verge, the percentage of abnormal tests stratified to perform, or not perform, anoscopy and proctosigmoidoscopy, and major diseases detected. Results: 844 rigid proctosigmoidoscopy procedures scheduled and performed by the Coloproctology Service, Hospital Santa Marcelina, between September 2006 and August 2014, were analyzed. The distribution was similar between genders and the mean age was 51.2 years. With respect to the device's height of reach from the anal verge, these values were stratified as follows: distance reached >15 cm, 10-15 cm, and <10 cm from the anal verge. Distances >15 cm from the anal verge were attained in 692 (82% of RR) tests, between 10 and 15 cm in 94 (11.1%) tests, and <10 cm in 58 (6.9%) tests. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that proctology examination and rigid proctosigmoidoscopy are mandatory procedures in cases of symptoms depending on these practices.


Introdução: O exame proctológico, apesar de profundamente íntimo e de lidar com área do corpo na qual imperam preconceitos, tabus e constrangimento, podendo inclusive relacionar-se a traumas prévios, é de suma importância para a investigação de pacientes com sintomas que predizem patologias associadas ao cólon distal, reto e ânus. Objetivos: Analisar todos os casos de retossigmoidoscopias rígidas realizadas de forma agendada pelo serviço de Coloproctologia do Hospital Santa Marcelina em 8 de seus 10 anos de residência médica na especialidade. Materiais e métodos: Analisou-se a média de idade, distribuição por sexo, altura de alcance do aparelho em relação à borda anal, percentagem de exames anormais com estratificação quando realizado ou não a anuscopia e retossigmoidoscopia e as principais doenças detectadas. Resultados: Foram avaliadas 844 retossigmoidoscopias rígidas realizadas pelo serviço de Coloproctologia do Hospital santa Marcelina, de forma agendada, entre setembro de 2006 e agosto de 2014. A distribuição foi semelhante entre os sexos e a média de idade foi de 51,2 anos. Com relação à altura em relação à borda anal, estratificou-se esses valores em maior que 15 cm, entre 10 e 15 cm da borda anal e alcance inferior a 10 cm da borda anal. Em 692 exames foi possível alcance superior a 15 cm da borda anal (82% das RR), em 94 (11,1%) entre 10 e 15 cm, e em 58 (6,9%) exames, abaixo de 10 cm. Conclusão Verificou-se em nosso estudo que o exame proctológico e a retossigmoidoscopia rígida são mandatório em casos de sintomatologia que assim o necessitem.

ABSTRACT

La cirugía ortognática es el tratamiento de elección para corregir deformidades dentofaciales congénitas o adquiridas en menor cantidad de casos, estas técnicas pueden ser aplicadas en la resección de tumores y apnea del sueño. Usualmente se lleva a cabo entre la segunda y tercera década de vida. Dentro de los benefi cios que se obtienen se incluyen una mejor función masticatoria, resultados estables en discrepancias dentofaciales severas y un mejor aspecto estético facial. Sin embargo, aun el cirujano más experimentado puede enfrentar complicaciones, entre las que destacan las vasculares, técnicas, nerviosas, periodontales, infecciosas, oftálmicas, de oclusión, psicológicas y necrosis ósea. Algu-nas de estas complicaciones pueden discutirse en detalle con el paciente antes del procedimiento. A pesar de lo anterior, el tratamiento de cirugía ortognática puede ser considerado como un procedimiento seguro. Las complicaciones se pueden dividir en preoperatorias, transoperatorias y postoperatorias, teniendo en las dos últimas una mayor incidencia.


Orthognathic surgery is the treatment of choice for the correction of congenital or acquired dentofacial deformities; in a minority of cases, the techniques involved can be applied to tumor resection and to treat sleep apnea. This type of surgery is usually performed between the second and third decades of life. The benefi ts obtained include a better chewing function, stable results in severe dentofacial anomalies, and improved facial aesthetics. However, even the most experienced surgeon can encounter a range of issues, most notably vascular, technical, ner-vous, periodontal, infectious, ophthalmic, psychological, those related to occlusion, and bone necrosis. Some of these can be discussed in detail with the patient prior to the procedure. Nevertheless, orthognathic surgery treatment can be considered a safe procedure. Complications can be classifi ed into three types: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative, the latter two being the most common.

ABSTRACT

La osteotomía sagital de rama mandibular bilateral, es un procedimiento que se considera seguro, predecible y estable utilizado para corregir las anomalías dentofaciales de origen esquelético únicas o en combinación con otras osteotomías faciales. La fijación de los segmentos osteotomizados se realiza mediante el uso de material de osteosíntesis no reabsorbible de material tipo titanio, en su mayoría con tornillos bicorticales de longitudes mayores con respecto a los tornillos convencionales utilizados para fijación rígida ósea facial, sin embargo en algunos casos, la oclusión definitiva posterior a la cirugía ortognatica no es similar al planeamiento prequirúrgico planeado, debido a factores asociados a la fijación rígida con tornillos bicorticales, Se ha observado en una amplia cantidad de osteotomías sagitales bilaterales de rama mandibular durante la fijación con tornillos bicorticales, movimientos de tipo indeseado por el operador, a menudo observando máxima intercuspidacion en la zona posterior derecha y leve mordida abierta en la zona posterior izquierda; de acuerdo a la biomecánica mandibular dichos movimientos ocurren por la presencia del eje de la rosca de los tornillos bicorticales utilizados para la fijación rígida que en su mayoría están dirigidos en sentido de las agujas del reloj. El propósito de este artículo es proponer el uso de tornillos bicorticales de rosca invertida para la fijación de la osteotomía sagital mandibular contrarrestando el efecto indeseado observado en la oclusión definitiva de pacientes sometidos a osteotomías sagitales bilaterales de rama mandibular, en paciente sometidos a cirugía ortognatica monomaxilar y bimaxilar para la corrección de anomalías dentofaciales.


The bilateral sagittal ramus osteotomy is a procedure that is considered safe, predictable and stable dentofacial used to correct skeletal abnormalities unique origin or in combination with other facial osteotomies. Osteotomized fixing segments is performed using non-resorbable osteosynthesis material type titanium material, mostly bicortical screws with longer lengths compared to conventional screws used for rigid fixation facial bone, however in some cases, the subsequent final occlusion orthognathic surgery is not similar to preoperative planning planned due to factors associated with rigid fixation with bicortical screws, it has been observed in a wide number of bilateral sagittal osteotomy of ramus during fixation with bicortical screws movements unwanted by the operator type, often observing maximum intercuspation in the right posterior open bite and mild in the left rear area; according to the mandibular biomechanics such movements occur by the presence of the thread axis of the bicortical screws used for rigid fixation which mostly are directed in the direction of clockwise. It is the purpose of this review article, proposing the use of bicortical screws reverse threaded for fixing the mandibular sagittal osteotomy counteracting the undesirable effect observed in the final occlusion patients undergoing bilateral sagittal osteotomy of ramus in patients undergoing surgery monomaxilar bimaxillary orthognathic and for the correction of dentofacial anomalies.

ABSTRACT

El espectro de manifestaciones neurológicas en el paciente intoxicado es amplio, entre estas tenemos los trastornos del movimiento y dentro de los mismos se encuentran la rigidez el temblor, distonia aguda, diquinesias, mioclonias, corea, etc. Sabiendo que el hallazgo de éstos obedece a diferentes etiologías, dentro de las cuales están medicamentos, toxinas, trastornos metabólicos, infecciones y lesiones estructurales cerebrales, es importante tener un enfoque diagnóstico apropiado desde urgencias. A continuación revisaremos el caso de una paciente con rigidez muscular quien consultó a un servicio de urgencias. La importancia de este caso radica en que hasta la fecha no se encuentran casos reportados en la literatura donde se evidencien simultáneamente dos causas de alteraciones del movimiento como el síndrome de Isaac's y la intoxicación por estricnina.


The spectrum of neurological manifestations in the poisoned patient is wide. The different manifestations include movement disorders and within the same stiffness are tremor, acute dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, myoclonus, chorea, etc. These finding may be a consequence of different etiologies among which are drugs, toxins, metabolic disorders, infections, and structural brain lesions, it is important to have a proper diagnosis from the emergency approach. We review the case of a patient with muscular rigidity who consulted an emergency room. The importance of this case is that where simultaneously two causes of movement disorders as Isaac's syndrome and strychnine poisoning are evident are up to date.

ABSTRACT

As fissuras labiopalatinas levam os profissionais a idealizarem próteses não convencionais na busca da solução das reabilitações por se tornarem, muitas vezes, bastante complexas. Próteses totalmente implanto-suportadas devem ser o tratamento de escolha, embora haja casos em que a união de dentes com implantes é inevitável. Há autores que defendem a união rígida, outros a não rígida e outros ainda que não recomendem a união dente-implante. Os riscos relacionados a esta união são resultado de diferenças biomecânicas entre as estruturas envolvidas, ligamento periodontal e osso, e da biomecânica dos dentes e implantes apoiados sobre as próteses. Objetivo: este trabalho relata um caso clínico de reabilitação oral com uma PPR sobre dentes unidos a implantes em uma paciente com fissura labiopalatina do Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais de Bauru. Método: relato do caso. Resultados e Discussão: paciente de 47 anos, gênero feminino, portadora de fissura pós-forame incisivo incompleta, apresentava os dentes 13, 23 e 27, sendo este extraído por problemas periodontais, e 2 implantes instalados nas regiões dos dentes 16 e 26. O planejamento reabilitador protético foi a instalação de uma PPR com encaixe tipo barra-clip retida por 3 barras metálicas unindo os dentes aos implantes por meio de um sistema tubo parafuso. A união não-rígida demonstra maior distribuição das forças, embora possa causar a intrusão dentária. Já a união rígida, apresenta maior estresse e maior perda óssea na região dos implantes. Conclusão: o correto planejamento, embasado na biomecânica, assim como controles clínicos e rádio gráficos posteriores, são de suma importância para o sucesso do tratamento reabilitador protético...


Cleft lip and palate lead professionals to idealize unconventional prostheses to find the solution for the rehabilitation that becomes, oftentimes, complex. Totally implant-supported prostheses should be the treatment of choice, although there are cases in which the connection of teeth with implants is inevitable. Some authors advocate the rigid connection, others the non-rigid connection and still others do not recommend the implant-tooth connection. The risks related to this connection are the result of biomechanical differences between the structures involved, periodontal ligament and bone, and biomechanics of teeth and implants supported on the prostheses. Objective: this report presents a case of oral rehabilitation with a removable partial prosthesis on teeth connected to implants in a patient with cleft lip and palate in Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of Bauru. Method: case report. Results and Discussion: a 47 year old female patient, with incomplete post foramen cleft presenting the teeth 13, 23 and 27, which was extracted by periodontal problems, and two implants placed in regions of the teeth 16 and 26. The prosthetic rehabilitation treatment was the installation of a removable partial prosthesis with a bar-clip type of fit retained by 3 metal bars connecting teeth to implants through a tube screw system. The non-rigid connection demonstrates greater distribution of forces, although it can cause tooth intrusion...
