ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the effect of clinical simulation and of a lectured class on Nursing students' knowledge about the colostomy irrigation procedure. Method: a quasi-experimental study conducted in September 2019 with Nursing students attending Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte in Natal, Brazil. The instruments used were a questionnaire targeted at sociodemographic issues and a knowledge analysis tool at three different moments. The Control Group had a lectured class and the Intervention Group took part in the laboratory simulation. The Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney tests were used for data analysis. Results: no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of the sociodemographic profile. In the analysis of the means of correct answers, better measures were observed in the post-test of both groups when compared to the pre-test; however, in the retention test, the students from the Intervention Group had better and statistically significant results than those from the Control Group (p-value=0.015). Conclusion: it is noticed that both teaching strategies exerted a positive effect on the students' learning process. Although both are equally important and effective, simulation showed better performance in knowledge retention. It is expected that this research enables educators to reflect on their work and allows them to use strategies that enhance their teaching practice, in order to benefit teaching and the students' development.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses that requires multifactorial treatment. Xylitol can be employed with nasal irrigation and can provide better control of the disease. Objective: To evaluate the association between the effects of nasal lavage with saline solution compared to nasal lavage with a xylitol solution. Methods: Fifty-two patients, divided into two groups (n = 26 in the "Xylitol" group and n = 26 in the "Saline solution" group) answered questionnaires validated in Portuguese (NOSE and SNOT-22) about their nasal symptoms and general symptoms, before and after endonasal endoscopic surgery and after a period of 30 days of nasal irrigation. Results: The "Xylitol" group showed significant improvement in pain relief and nasal symptom reduction after surgery and nasal irrigation with xylitol solution (p < 0.001). The "Saline solution" group also showed symptom improvement, but on a smaller scale. Conclusion: This study suggests that the xylitol solution can be useful in the postoperative period after endonasal endoscopic surgery, because it leads to a greater reduction in nasal symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Caracterizar en base a una revisión bibliográfica las técnicas de irrigación con mayor eficacia en la remoción de hidróxido de calcio como medicación intraconducto. Materiales y métodos: Revisión bibliográfica realizada en las bases de datos electrónicas PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science. Se seleccionaron 32 artículos contenidos entre los años 2015 y 2020. Resultados: La técnica más estudiada es la irrigación ultrasónica, no logrando tener los niveles más altos de eficacia. La irrigación activada por láser resultó ser la más eficaz en la remoción de medicación en los tres tercios de los conductos. Los irrigantes utilizados con mayor frecuencia fueron el hipoclorito de sodio y el ácido etilendiaminotetraacético. Conclusión: Las técnicas con mayor eficacia son irrigación activada por láser, seguida de irrigación ultrasónica pasiva. La evidencia sustenta que hipoclorito de sodio y ácido etilendiaminotetraacético deben ser los irrigantes utilizados, ambos de manera secuencial y no de uso excluyente.

Resultados: A técnica mais estudada é a irrigação ultrassônica, não alcançando os níveis mais altos de eficácia. A irrigação ativada por laser foi considerada a mais eficaz na remoção de medicamentos em três terços dos canais. Os irrigantes usados ​​com mais frequência foram hipoclorito de sódio e ácido etilenodiaminotetracético. Conclusão: As técnicas mais eficazes são a irrigação ativada por laser, seguida da irrigação ultrassônica passiva. A evidência apóia que o hipoclorito de sódio e o ácido etilenodiaminotetracético devem ser os irrigantes usados, tanto sequencialmente quanto não exclusivamente.


Abstract Objective: To conduct a literature review on and describe the most effective irrigation techniques in removing calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament. Materials and methods: Literature review conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Thirty-two articles published between 2015 and 2020 were selected. Results: Ultrasonic irrigation­the most widely studied technique­does not achieve the highest levels of efficacy. Laser-activated irrigation was the most effective way to remove medication in the three thirds of the canals. The most frequently used irrigants were sodium hypochlorite and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Conclusion: The most effective techniques are laser-activated irrigation and passive ultrasonic irrigation. The evidence indicates that sodium hypochlorite and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid should be used sequentially and not exclusively as irrigants.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: We aimed to evaluate the penetration of endodontic cement following the removal of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) dressing using the XP-endo Finisher in association with different irrigating solutions. Sixty premolars were instrumented and applied with a Ca(OH)2 dressing. To remove Ca(OH)2, the teeth were divided into six groups, each with a different volume of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), as well as solution stirring time with XP-endo Finisher (0, 30, and 60 sec). Root canals were filled using the lateral condensation technique. Fluorescein dye was added to the cement for microscopic laser scanning analysis. In the generated images, linear measurements were taken in micrometers, and their averages were calculated. To analyze the perimeter penetration ratio of the cement, the total perimeter of the canal and the segment of the total perimeter of the canal where the endodontic cement penetrated into the dentinal tubules were measured in micrometers. We found that using an XP-endo Finisher in irrigation was more effective than using a needle and syringe during the extension and penetration of endodontic cement. Shaking with XP-endo Finisher with 17% EDTA increased the extent and perimeter of the penetration of the endodontic cement into the dentinal tubules. However, using the XP-endo Finisher with EDTA only was more efficient than using the instrument interchangeably in NaOCl and EDTA. Although XP-endo Finisher contributes to the removal of Ca(OH)2, none of the protocols or instruments used removed all Ca(OH)2 from the root system.

ABSTRACT

As principais complicações pós-operatórias de Ressecção Transuretral da Próstata (RTU-P) são: retenção urinária por coágulos sanguíneos na sonda e a contaminação exógena do sistema urinário por manipulação do profissional de saúde ao realizar a técnica de lavagem vesical. O artigo descreve o desenvolvimento de um protótipo para a manutenção do sistema urinário fechado durante a lavagem vesical e permitir a medição das pressões no interior do cateter vesical de demora (CVD) de três vias com o protótipo durante a técnica da lavagem vesical. Trata-se de uma pesquisa tecnológica baseada no modelo de Processo de Desenvolvimento do Produto de Rozenfeld. Foram realizados testes de funcionalidade por meio de experimentos em ambiente controlado dentro de laboratório. O protótipo apresentou resultados satisfatórios quanto a manutenção do sistema urinário fechado durante a técnica de lavagem vesical. O uso do catéter permitiu a medição das pressões específicas do CVD de três vias em três momentos diferentes: cateter desobstruído, cateter parcialmente obstruído e cateter totalmente obstruído. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o protótipo pode representar uma ferramenta inovadora na área de urologia. Atendeu as especificações do projeto e possibilitou a manutenção do sistema urinário fechado na lavagem vesical. Além de diminuir os riscos de contaminação do sistema urinário durante a manipulação da técnica. Portanto, o presente estudo demostrou que o protótipo é plenamente seguro quando comparado as pressões exercidas dentro do CVD. Existe a necessidade de realizar testes experimentais em humanos para comprovar a diminuição de contaminação do trato urinário como uso do protótipo.


The main postoperative complications of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) are urinary retention by blood clots in the probe and exogenous contamination of the urinary system by manipulation of the healthcare professional when performing the bladder washing technique. The aim of this study was to develop a prototype for keeping the urinary system closed during bladder washes and to measure the internal pressures of the three-way Indwelling Urinary Catheter (IDC) during the bladder washing technique. This was a technological study based on the Rozenfeld's Product Development Process model. Functionality tests were carried out through experiments in a controlled environment in the laboratory. The prototype showed satisfactory results regarding the preservation of the urinary system closed during the bladder washing technique. It was possible to obtain specific pressures from the three-way IDC at three different moments: unobstructed catheter, partially obstructed catheter, and totally obstructed catheter. The results obtained demonstrate that the prototype can represent an innovative tool in the area of urology. It met the project's specifications and preserved the urinary system closed during the bladder washing. Moreover, it reduces the risk of urinary system contamination during the technique manipulation. Therefore, the present study showed that the prototype is fully safe regarding the pressures exerted inside the IDC. There is a need to carry out experimental tests in humans to prove the decrease of urinary tract contamination with the use of this prototype.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O tipo de agulha e fluxo de irrigação é importante para a limpeza adequada no terço apical do canal radicular. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência do tipo de agulha e fluxo de irrigação na limpeza do canal radicular e canais laterais simulados e na extrusão apical do irrigante. Métodos: Trinta e dois dentes de resina foram utiliza- dos. Após a instrumentação do canal radicular, foram feitos quatro canais laterais a 2 e 7 mm do ápice. Os canais radiculares foram preenchidos com solução de contraste. Os canais foram irrigados com dois tipos de agulha, 29G e 31G, com diferentes designs (abertura lateral e apical) e dois fluxos (2 ou 5 mL/min), a 1 mm aquém do comprimento de trabalho. O volume da solução de contraste nos canais principal e laterais após irrigação e a extrusão apical do irrigante (mm3 ) foi avaliado por micro-CT, em comparação com a análise inicial. Os dados em porcentagem foram analisados pelos testes ANOVA e Tukey (α=0,05). Resultados: não houve diferença entre os protocolos de irrigação para limpeza da solução de contraste. Maior volume de extrusão apical com agulha 29G com abertura apical e 5 mL/min foi observado, em comparação ao mesmo tipo de agulha e 2 mL/min (p<0,05). Conclusão: Todos os protocolos de irrigação foram associados à limpeza dos canais radiculares. Maior extrusão apical foi observada com agulha 29G ­ abertura apical com maior fluxo de irrigação (5 mL/min). Implicações clínicas: Irrigação endodôntica com agulha com abertura apical e maior fluxo da solução pode favorecer a extrusão dos irrigantes para os tecidos periapicais (AU).


Introduction: needle and irrigation flow rate are important for proper cleaning of the root canal. Aim: to evaluate the influence of type of needle and irrigation flow rate on cleaning of root canal and simulated lateral canals and the apical extrusion of irrigant. Methods: Thirty-two resin teeth were used. After root canal instrumentation, four lateral canals were made at 2 and 7 mm from the apex. Root canals were filled with contrast solution. The root canals were irrigated with two types of needle, 29G and 31G, with different designs (side and apical opening) and two flow rates (2 or 5 mL/min), at 1 mm short of the working length. The volume of the contrast solution in the main and lateral canals after irrigation and apical extrusion of the irrigant (mm3) were evaluated by Micro-CT, in comparison with the initial analysis. Data in percentage were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukeys tests (α = 0.05). Results: no difference among the irrigation protocols for contrast solution cleaning was observed. Higher volume of apical extrusion using needle 29G-apical opening and 5 mL/min in comparison with the same type of needle and 2 mL/min was observed (p < 0.05). Conclusion: all irrigation protocols were associated with root canals cleaning. Greater apical extrusion was observed for needle 29G-apical opening with higher irrigation flow rate (5 mL/min). Clinical implications: endodontic irrigation using a needle with apical opening and higher flow rate of solution may favor extrusion of irrigant to the periapical tissues (AU).

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a indicação da lavagem gástrica no tratamento de intoxicações causadas por ingestão. Métodos: Todos os casos de intoxicação causada por ingestão que foram atendidos em dois hospitais do interior de São Paulo e submetidos à lavagem gástrica no período de 1° de janeiro de 2011 a 31 de dezembro de 2015 foram avaliados retrospectivamente quanto à indicação do procedimento, considerando o tempo entre ingestão e atendimento, a toxicidade da substância e as contraindicações para o procedimento. Resultados: Dos 587 casos atendidos, 338 (57,6%) foram submetidos à lavagem gástrica. Dentre esses casos, constatou-se a realização equivocada do procedimento em 95,8% casos. Conclusão: O número de pacientes submetidos à lavagem gástrica neste trabalho foi considerado elevado, mesmo quando orientado pelo centro de atendimento. Apesar da falta de evidências de que a lavagem gástrica traga benefícios nos casos de intoxicação, ela é largamente utilizada em virtude do desconhecimento das indicações e contraindicações desse procedimento por parte dos profissionais de saúde


Objective: To evaluate the indication of gastric lavage in the treatment of poisoning caused by ingestion. Methods: All cases of poisoning caused by ingestion that were treated in two hospitals in inland cities of São Paulo and subjected to gastric lavage from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015 were retrospectively assessed as for the indication of the procedure, considering the time between ingestion and care, substance toxicity, and procedure contraindications. Results: Of the 587 cases treated, 338 (57.6%) underwent gastric lavage. The procedure was considered incorrect in 95.8% of cases. Conclusion: The number of patients undergoing gastric lavage in this study was considered high, even when instructed by the center of attendance. Despite the lack of evidence that gastric lavage brings benefits in cases of poisoning, it is widely used due to the lack of knowledge by health professionals of the indications and contraindications of this procedure.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Resulta fundamental la remoción por completo del hidróxido de calcio previo a la obturación del canal radicular que podría impedir la penetración de los selladores en los túbulos dentinarios. Objetivo: Determinar la efectividad de la eliminación de la medicación con hidróxido de calcio del canal radicular de dientes utilizando diferentes sistemas de irrigación. Métodos: Se irrigaron con hipoclorito de sodio 148 conductos radiculares rectos de dientes humanos. Se utilizó Ca(OH)2 mezclado con tinta negra para rellenar los canales radiculares y facilitar la visualización. Los dientes se dividieron en 5 grupos de acuerdo al protocolo de eliminación. En cada uno de los grupos, la extrusión apical se midió durante la etapa de irrigación por el método Huang X, después de la eliminación del Ca(OH)2, se seccionaron longitudinalmente y luego, en un portaobjetos, se observaron las muestras bajo un microscopio óptico. Finalmente, se analizó el contenido para cuantificar el grado de extrusión causado durante el procedimiento clínico. Se utilizó el test de ANOVA para el análisis estadístico Resultados: Se encontró diferencias significativas entre los grupos 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 y 1-5. El promedio de remanecía fue superior (66,4 por ciento). Los grupos 2 (41,6 por ciento) y 5 (34,8 por ciento) obtuvieron mayor eficacia en la remoción. ANOVA (α = 0,05) determina que no existieron diferencias significativas entre los 5 grupos. Conclusiones: Los dispositivos de activación ultrasónica mostraron una mayor eliminación de la medicación con hidróxido de calcio desde las paredes dentinarias a las técnicas manuales, sin embargo, demostró ser una terapia más invasiva debido a una mayor extrusión de detritus(AU)


Introduction: Root canal sealing should indispensably be preceded by complete calcium hydroxide removal, otherwise the latter might prevent the penetration of the sealers into the dentinal tubules. Objective: Determine the effectiveness of eliminating calcium hydroxide medication from the root canal of teeth using various irrigation systems. Methods: Preparation was conducted of 148 straight root canals of human teeth irrigating with sodium hypochlorite. The root canals were filled with Ca(OH)2 mixed with black ink to facilitate visualization. The teeth were divided into 5 groups in compliance with the removal protocol. Apical extrusion was measured in each group during the irrigation stage using the Huang X method. After Ca(OH)2 removal they were sectioned longitudinally and placed on a slide for observation of the samples under an optical microscope. Finally the content was analyzed to quantify the degree of extrusion obtained during the clinical procedure. The ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Significant differences were found between the groups 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 and 1-5. Average remanence was above 66.4 percent. Groups 2 (41.6 percent) and 5 (34.8 percent) displayed higher removal efficacy. ANOVA (α = 0.05) did not determine any significant differences between the 5 groups. Conclusions: Ultrasonic activation obtained greater calcium hydroxide removal from the dentinal walls than manual techniques. However, it proved to be a more invasive therapy due to the greater detritus extrusion(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Entre los concentrados plaquetarios de segunda generación, ha suscitado creciente interés, el uso de fibrina rica en plaquetas y leucocitos inyectable (i-PRF); que se obtiene a partir de la centrifugación inmediata de sangre venosa del propio individuo, y que aporta concentraciones elevadas de factor de crecimiento vascular endotelial, factor de crecimiento transformante beta, y factor de crecimiento derivado de plaquetas, entre otras proteínas que inician y coordinan el proceso reparativo. Su nula citotoxicidad y consistencia líquida abren un nuevo campo de estudio y experimentación en el ámbito de la Cirugía Oral y de la Periodoncia, como sustancia para irrigar. El objetivo de este manuscrito fue reportar el uso del i-PRF como irrigador subgingival en el tratamiento periodontal convencional de defectos infra óseos con 6 meses de seguimiento. En ambos casos, se verificó un efecto positivo de irrigación, lo que abre el debate al uso de productos farmacéuticos tradicionales como la clorhexidina versus preparados autólogos sin efectos adversos reportados a la fecha.


ABSTRACT: Second generation platelet concentrates include the use of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), which has generated increasing interest because it is derived from immediate centrifugation of venous blood from the patients themselves. It provides high concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor beta, and platelet-derived growth factor, among other proteins that initiate and coordinate the healing process. Its null cytotoxicity and liquid consistency has opened new research lines in the field of oral surgery and periodontics, as an irrigation substance. The aim of this manuscript was to report the use of i-PRF, as a subgingival irrigator in conventional periodontal treatment of infra osseous defects, with six months follow-up. In both cases, a positive effect of irrigation was confirmed. These findings, open the debate as regards the use of traditional pharmaceutical products (such as chlorhexidine), versus autonomous preparations without adverse effects reported to date.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT - We describe here a case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with low visual acuity, pain, and hyperemia in the left eye for 45 days. Her eye had extensive corneal infiltrate, with melting and a central perforation that was glued with cyanoacrylate, but with Seidel (+). She underwent tectonic corneal transplantation, and anterior chamber lavage with subconjunctival infiltration with voriconazole, as well as intracameral injections of amphotericin B. Laboratory tests revealed Paecilomyces lilacinus as the infectious agent. The patient was then maintained with oral voriconazole and eye drops for three months, after which the infection was considered cured. However, in the sixth postoperative month she presented with endothelial rejection, and two weeks later signs of recurrence of the fungal infection. She was treated with two further washes of the anterior chamber and subconjunctival injection of voriconazole, followed by intravenous voriconazole that was replaced with drops after ten days. The infection initially worsened, but then regressed, and at last follow-up, the patient was still infection-free.


RESUMO - Descrevemos aqui um caso de uma mulher de 21 anos que apresentou baixa acuidade visual, dor e hiperemia no olho esquerdo por 45 dias. O olho apresentava infiltrado corneano extenso, com fusão e perfuração central colada com cianoacrilato, mas com Seidel (+). Ela foi submetida a transplante de córnea tectônica e lavagem de câmara anterior com infiltração subconjuntival com voriconazol, além de injeções intracamerais de anfoterecina B. Testes laboratoriais revelaram Paecilomyces lilacinus como agente infeccioso. A paciente foi então mantida com voriconazol oral e colírio por período de três meses, após o qual a infecção foi considerada curada. No entanto, no sexto mês de pós-operatório, ela apresentou rejeição endotelial e, duas semanas após, sinais de recidiva de infecção fúngica. Ela foi tratada com mais duas lavagens de câmara anterior e injeção subconjuntival de voriconazol, seguida por voriconazol intravenoso que foi substituído por gotas após 10 dias. A infecção piorou inicialmente, mas depois regrediu e, no último seguimento, o paciente ainda estava livre de infecção.

ABSTRACT

Lateral epicondylopathy represents pain in the lateral (radial aspect) of the elbow caused by degeneration in the common extensor tendon. Calcium deposit frequently developes in lateral epicondylopathy, with the prevalence up to 46%. There are considerable debates on its treatment protocols for lateral epicondylopathy so far, likewise, the effective treatment method for calcific lateral epicondylopathy has not been established. We report here a case of chronic intractable calcific lateral epicondylopathy treated with ultrasound-guided barbotage and focused type extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). To our knowledge, this is the first report of calcific lateral epicondylopathy treated by ultrasound-guided barbotage combined with ESWT.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: This article aims to present a standardization of the technique of transanal therapeutic irrigation, which is an old technique that has passed through history and is now used as a medical procedure to assist in the treatment of defecation disorders. Methods: This protocol was developed in patients with myelomeningocele submitted to the standard transanal therapeutic irrigation technique, in accordance with the protocol established at the Clinic of defecation disorders at a public university hospital in Brazil. The presented standard technique highlights the following topics: preparation of the patient before the treatment; interdisciplinary approach; training of the patient or the family member responsible for the patient and the step-by-step technique itself. The research ethics committee at the university approved this study. Discussion: Transanal therapeutic irrigation is indicated in neurogenic bowel dysfunctions and functional disorders of defecation. Training the patient or a family member responsible for irrigation is performed on three consecutive days, all of them supervised by the nurse. This technique aims to re-establish control over defecation and bowel function, and consists in an infusion of warm tap water through the anus, which allows the patient to evacuate daily the stool and keep the colon empty for longer periods. This avoids fecal incontinence and increases the quality of life of patients with defecation disorders. Conclusion: Transanal therapeutic irrigation is an effective, well-tolerated and safe procedure, which is better compared to the standard clinical care.


RESUMO Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma padronização da técnica de irrigação transanal terapêutica, uma técnica antiga que passou pela história e tem sido utilizada como procedimento médico para auxiliar no tratamento de distúrbios de defecação. Métodos: Este protocolo foi desenvolvido em pacientes com mielomeningocele submetidos à técnica de irrigação terapêutica transanal padrão, de acordo com o protocolo estabelecido na Clínica de Distúrbios da Defecação de um hospital universitário público no Brasil. A técnica padrão apresentada destaca os seguintes tópicos: preparação do paciente antes do tratamento; Abordagem interdisciplinar; treinamento do paciente ou do membro da família responsável pelo paciente e a técnica passo a passo em si. O comitê de ética em pesquisa da universidade aprovou este estudo. Discussão: A irrigação transanal terapêutica está indicada nas disfunções intestinais neurogênicas e nos distúrbios funcionais da defecação. O treinamento do paciente ou de um familiar responsável pela irrigação é realizado em três dias consecutivos, todos supervisionados por uma enfermeira. Esta técnica visa restabelecer o controle sobre a evacuação e a função intestinal, e consiste em uma infusão de água da torneira quente através do ânus, que permite ao paciente evacuar diariamente as fezes e manter o cólon vazio por períodos mais longos. Isso evita a incontinência fecal e aumenta a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com distúrbios de defecação. Conclusão: A irrigação terapêutica transanal é um procedimento efetivo, bem tolerado e seguro, o qual é melhor quando comparado ao tratamento clínico padrão.

ABSTRACT

Supraventricular tachycardia is one of the tachyarrhythmias that do not have its origin in one organic cardiomyopathy. Generally, they have a good prognosis, and its clinical spectrum varies from asymptomatic patients to those with low cardiac output. Treatment will depend on the hemodynamic stability of the pa- tient. The objective of this case report is to make a review on existent literature about adverse cardiac effects with the use of Glycine in patients after urologic surgery.


La taquicardia supraventricular hace parte del grupo de taquiarritmias que no se originan de una cardiopatía orgánica existente y por lo general son de buen pronóstico. Su espectro clínico abarca desde pacientes asintomáticos hasta aquellos con signos de bajo gasto cardíaco que requerirán tratamiento según su estabilidad hemodinámica. El objetivo del presente reporte de caso es realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre los efectos adversos asociados a la irrigación vesical continúa con glicina en un paciente a quien se le realizó prostatectomía.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Topical therapies are the best postoperative treatment option for chronic rhinosinusitis, especially those with high volume and pressure, such as the squeeze bottles. However, they are not an available option in Brazil, where irrigation syringes are used. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of topical sinonasal therapy with syringe and the influence of the middle turbinate on this process Methods: Intervention study in training models (S.I.M.O.N.T.). After standard dissection, three interventions were performed (Nasal Spray 4 puffs, 60-mL syringe and 240-mL Squeeze Bottle) with normal and Sutured Middle Turbinate. Images of each sinus were captured after the interventions, totalizing 144 images. The images were classified by 10 evaluators according to the amount of residual volume from zero to 3, with zero and 1 being considered poor penetration and 2 and 3, good penetration. The 1440 evaluations were used in this study. Results: Considering all middle turbinate situations, the amount of good penetrations were 8.1% for Spray; 68.3% for Syringe, and 78.3% for Squeeze (p < 0.0001). Considering all types of interventions, the Normal Middle Turbinate group had 48.2% of good penetrations and the Sutured Middle Turbinate, 55% (p = 0.01). Considering only the Sutured Middle Turbinates, there was no difference between the interventions with Syringe and Squeeze (76.3% vs. 80.4%; p = 0.27). Conclusion: Topical therapy of irrigation with a 60-mL syringe was more effective than that with nasal spray. The status of the middle turbinate proved to be fundamental and influenced topical therapy. Irrigation with syringe was as effective as the squeeze bottle when the middle turbinate was sutured to the nasal septum.


Resumo Introdução: Terapias tópicas são a melhor opção de tratamento pós-operatório da rinossinusite crônica, principalmente com alto volume e pressão, como os squeeze bottles. Porém, não são opções disponíveis na realidade brasileira, na qual frequentemente são usados seringas para a irrigação. Objetivo: Averiguar a eficácia da terapia tópica nasossinusal com seringa e a influência da concha média nesse processo. Método: Estudo de intervenção em modelos de treinamento (S.I.M.O.N.T.). Após dissecção padronizada, três intervenções foram feitas (spray nasal 4 puffs, seringa de 60 mL e squeeze bottle de 240 mL) com a concha média normal e suturada. Foram capturadas imagens de cada seio após as intervenções, totalizando 144 imagens. As imagens foram classificadas por 10 avaliadores de acordo com a quantidade de volume residual de zero a 3, sendo zero e 1 considerados penetração ruim e 2 e 3, penetração boa. As 1.440 avaliações foram utilizadas neste estudo. Resultados: Considerando todas as situações de concha média, a quantidade de penetrações boas foi de 8,1% para spray; 68,3% para seringa e 78,3% para squeeze (p < 0,0001). Considerando todos os tipos de intervenção, a concha média normal obteve 48,2% de penetrações boas e a concha média suturada, 55% (p = 0,01). Considerando apenas concha média suturada, não houve diferença entre as intervenções seringa e squeeze (76,3% vs. 80,4%; p = 0,27). Conclusão: A terapia tópica de irrigação com seringa de 60 mL foi mais eficaz do que com spray nasal. O status da concha média mostrou-se fundamental e influenciou a terapia tópica. A irrigação com seringa foi tão eficaz quanto a com squeeze bottle quando a concha média foi suturada ao septo nasal.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comparar la penetración dentinaria in vitro entre las concentraciones de hipoclorito de sodio (NaClO) al 5 % y al 2,5 % con técnicas de irrigación convencional e irrigación ultrasónica pasiva. Este fue un estudio transversal, prospectivo y experimental. Se trabajó con 40 segmentos radiculares (especímenes) de 5 mm de longitud, divididos en 4 grupos. Todos los especímenes se sumergieron en violeta cristal durante 24 horas. Se realizó la preparación biomecánica con sistema rotatorio Pro Taper. Al primer grupo se irrigó con NaClO al 2,5 % con irrigación convencional, al segundo grupo con NaClO al 2,5 % con irrigación convencional más irrigación ultrasónica pasiva por 30 segundos, al tercer grupo con NaClO al 5 % con irrigación convencional y al cuarto grupo con NaClO al 5 % con irrigación convencional más irrigación ultrasónica pasiva por 30 segundos. Al final de la preparación a todos los especímenes se les realizó un corte mesio distal. La profundidad de la penetración del NaClO fue deterrminado por el blanqueamiento de la mancha y medido con un microscopio de luz con una magnificación de 40 X. La prueba estadística usada fue ANOVA con un nivel de significancia de 5 %. El NaClO al 5 % con técnica de irrigación ultrasónica pasiva presentó la mayor penetración dentinaria in vitro.


ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to compare in vitro dentin penetration between 5 % and 2.5 % sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) concentrations using conventional irrigation and passive ultrasonic irrigation techniques. This was a cross-sectional, prospective and experimental study. It was worked with 40 root segments (specimen) of 5 mm length, divided into 4 groups. All specimens were immersed in crystal violet for 24 hours. The biomechanical preparation was performed with Pro Taper rotary system. The first group was irrigated with 2.5 % NaClO with conventional irrigation, the second group with 2.5 % NaClO with conventional irrigation plus ulrasonic passive irrigation for 30 seconds, the third group with 5 % NaClO with conventional irrigation and the fourth with 5 % NaClO with conventional irrigation plus ultrasonic passive irrigation for 30 seconds. At the end of the preparation, all specimens had a distal mesio cut. The depth of NaClO penetration was determined by bleaching of the stain and measured with a light microscope at a magnification of 40 X. The statistical test used was ANOVA with a significance level of 5 %. The 5 % NaClO with passive ultrasonic irrigation showed the highest dentin penetration in vitro.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the curative effect of arthroscopy-assisted irrigation with different times for the treatment of suppurative knee arthritis in elder patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From October 2012 to October 2014, 23 old patients with suppurative knee arthritis were treated with arthroscopic debridement and continuous irrigation. All the patients were randomly divided into two groups:one-week irrigation group (10 cases) and two-week irrigation group(13 cases). The ESR, CRP, recovery time of knee skin temperature, joint rang of motion and knee function were observed to evaluate the therapeutic effects.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the patients were followed up, and the mean duration was(13.3±2.3) months. No recurrence was observed. The CRP in both groups returned to normal level 2 weeks after operation. The ESR in two-week irrigation group returned to normal level 2 weeks after operation, while in one-week irrigation group it was still at a high level, and returned to normal level 3 weeks after operation; there was a statistical significance between these two groups(<0.05). The recovery time of knee skin temperature after operation in two-week irrigation group was (13.4±1.2) d on average(ranged, 8 to 17 d), which was less than(15.5±1.9) d on average(ranged, 10 to 20 d) in one-week irrigation group (<0.05). The knee joint mobility of all patients 1, 3, 6 months after operation was significantly improved compared with those before surgery(<0.05). The knee joint mobility of patients in two-week irrigation group was better than that in one-week irrigation group at the first month after operation(<0.05);but there were no significant differences between these two groups 3, 6 months after operation. The Lysholm score of all patients 1, 3, 6 months after operation was significantly improved compared with those before surgery(<0.05). The Lysholm score of patients in two-week irrigation group was better than in one-week irrigation group at the first month after operation(<0.05);but there were no significant differences between these two groups 3, 6 months after operation. All the patients had stable knee functions 3 months after operation. According to the Lysholm scale, 3 patients got an excellent result, 6 good and 1 poor in one-week irrigation group 6 months after operation;5 patients got an excellent result, 7 good and 1 poor in two-week irrigation group;there was no significant differences between these two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Treatment of suppurative knee arthritis using arthroscopy has such advantages as minimal invasion and complete debridement, which is helpful to attenuate inflammation and regain knee function. It is suggested that the irrigation should be prolonged for two weeks postoperatively.</p>
