Oral cancer: analysis of the clarity of publications in Instagram profiles of official health agencies in Brazil / Câncer bucal: análise da clareza das publicações realizadas em perfis do Instagram de órgãos oficiais de saúde do Brasil

Abstract This article aims to analyze the clarity and engagement measures of publications on oral cancer in the Instagram profiles of official health agencies in Brazil. An infodemiological study was conducted with 81 profiles. Data collected concerned content classification, account and media, manner of addressing the topic, number of posts, likes, comments, views and hashtags. The clarity of the educational publications was assessed with the Brazilian version of the Clear Communication Index (BR-CDC-CCI). Data analysis involved Spearman's correlation and the Mann-Whitney test (α = 5%). A total of 775 publications on oral cancer were found. The average BR-CDC-CCI score was 69.8 (SD = 15.5). The clarity of the information was adequate in 9.5% of the educational publications. Positive correlations were found between the number of likes and engagement (comments [r = 0.49], views [r = 0.96]), number of hashtags (r = 0.13) and year of publication (r = 0.21). Publications from the Health Ministry had a significantly higher BR-CDC-CCI score compared to the other profiles. Publications on oral cancer were correlated with engagement, year of publication and number of hashtags. Public agencies increased publications to reach the population, but the clarity of the content was low.

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é analisar a clareza e as medidas de engajamento das publicações sobre câncer bucal nos perfis do Instagram dos órgãos oficiais de saúde no Brasil. Realizou-se um estudo infodemiológico com 81 perfis. Foram coletados dados sobre classificação do conteúdo, conta e mídia, abordagem do tema, número de postagens, curtidas, comentários, visualizações e hashtags. A clareza das publicações educativas foi avaliada pela versão brasileira do Clear Communication Index (BR-CDC-CCI). A análise dos dados envolveu a correlação de Spearman e o teste de Mann-Whitney (α = 5%). Foram encontradas 775 publicações sobre câncer bucal. O escore médio do BR-CDC-CCI foi 69,8 (DP = 15,5). A clareza das informações foi adequada em 9,5% das publicações educativas. Correlações positivas foram encontradas entre o número de curtidas e engajamento (comentários [r = 0,49], visualizações [r = 0,96]), número de hashtags (r = 0,13) e ano de publicação (r = 0,21). Publicações do Ministério da Saúde apresentaram escore do BR-CDC-CCI significativamente maior do que os demais perfis (p = 0,01). As publicações sobre câncer bucal foram correlacionadas com engajamento, ano de publicação e número de hashtags. Os órgãos públicos aumentaram as publicações para atingir a população, mas a clareza do conteúdo foi baixa.

Fibrina rica en plaquetas como parte de la regeneración tisular en procedimientos quirúrgicos odontológicos / Platelet-rich fibrin as part of tissue regeneration in dental surgical procedures

Uno de los mejores biomateriales usados en odontología es la fibrina rica en plaquetas (PRF), es un concentrado plaquetario de segunda generación que se obtiene a partir de la centrifugación de sangre autóloga y no necesita aditivos. El presente documento busca determinar la eficacia del uso del PRF como parte de la regeneración de tejidos en procedimientos quirúrgicos odontológicos, tomando como base la literatura publicada en PubMed, Elsevier y Semantic Scholar entre 2018 y 2023, la búsqueda de artículos científicos fue ejecutada empleando las palabras clave platalet rich fibrin, regeneration, dentistry, blood buffy coat. La evidencia científica muestra que el PRF puede ser usado en su forma de membrana, gel, tapón, solo o combinado con otro biomaterial para conseguir propiedades biológicas exclusivas que promueven la regeneración y cicatrización mientras reduce los efectos adversos de los procedimientos quirúrgicos. Un ensayo clínico refirió la curación de alvéolos post exodoncia atraumática, y comprobó que la cicatrización con PRF muestra un índice de curación más alto en comparación con el grupo control. El sustento biológico de su eficacia radica en su capacidad para proliferar células que promueven la angiogénesis, osteogénesis y diferenciación celular, es decir, el reparo de tejidos lesionados. Todo esto nos permite llegar a la conclusión de que el PRF representa una alternativa viable y eficaz en procesos de regeneración de tejidos en procedimientos quirúrgicos odontológicos.

One of the best biomaterials used in dentistry is platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). It is a second-generation platelet concentrate obtained by centrifugation of autologous blood and requires no additives. The aim of this article is to determine the effectiveness of using PRF for tissue regeneration in dental surgery. The methodology used consists of a descriptive search of scientific articles that employ or study PRF as a biomaterial for tissue healing in the dental field and are available on PubMed, Elsevier, and Semantic Scholar. The literature shows that PRF can be used as a membrane, gel, cap form, alone or combined with other biomaterials to achieve unique biological properties that promote regeneration and healing while reducing the adverse effects of surgical procedures. For example, a clinical trial demonstrated healing of post-traumatic alveolar exodontia, proving that healing with PRF had a higher healing rate than in the control group. The biological basis of PRF's efficacy lies in its ability to proliferate cells that promote angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and cellular differentiation, and thus repair damaged tissue. All this leads us to conclude that PRF represents a viable and effective alternative in tissue regeneration processes in dental surgery procedures.

Factors Associated with Hyposalivation in Brazilian Adults

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the occurrence of hyposalivation in Brazilian adults and its association with individual determinants, such as the use of medications, systemic conditions, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study with 402 adults was developed. Information was collected on sociodemographic and general health characteristics, and sialometry was performed with stimulated salivary flow. It indicated low salivary flow when ≤ 0.7 mL/min. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using a decision tree (p<0.05). Results: The sample was comprised predominantly of women (68.2%) aged ≤ 29 years (25.4%). Most participants did not use medication (56.7%). Among systemic diseases, the most cited was hypertension (25.1%). More than a third of the participants presented hyposalivation (40.3%), being associated with the following variables: age between 50 to 59 years (p=0.011), female sex (p<0.001), menopause (p=0.001), use of alcohol (p=0.033), systemic disease (p=0.002) and medication use (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, in addition to sex (p<0.001) and hypertension (p=0.005), an association was also found between hyposalivation and diabetes (p=0.014). Conclusion: Factors associated with hyposalivation in adults were sex and the presence of hypertension or diabetes.

Usefulness, Reliability, Quality, and Content of Portuguese Language YouTube Videos on COVID-19

Abstract Objective: To investigate the usefulness, reliability, quality, and content of Portuguese-language YouTube videos on COVID-19. Material and Methods: Three keywords selected on Google Trends were searched on YouTube, and the 60 first videos listed with each term were analyzed. Two calibrated researchers evaluated the reliability (DISCERN Modified Scale), the quality (Global Quality Score - GQS), and the usefulness of videos for the users (COVID-19 Specific Score - CSS). The number of views, likes, and engagement were also analyzed. The data were evaluated by the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman correlation (α=5%). Results: 59 videos were included. The average scores of quality, reliability, and usefulness were 3.0 (±1.1), 3.2 (± 0.8), and 1.5 (± 0.9), respectively. Two-thirds of the videos (64.4%) had low/moderate quality, and the majority (76.2%) were about signs and symptoms. The numbers of views (p=0.005), likes (p=0.006), and engagement (p=0.014) were significantly higher in moderate/good quality videos. The number of comments (p=0.007), duration of videos (p=0.004), and the DISCERN score (p<0.001) were significantly higher in videos made by health professionals. The general quality of the videos was positively correlated to the CSS scores, number of views, likes, and engagement (p<0.05). Conclusion: Most videos had moderate quality and reliability and low usefulness for the users.

The family myth in nursing care for children in psychological distress / El mito familiar en los cuidados de enfermería a niños con malestar psíquico / O mito familiar no cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico

ABSTRACT This is a theoretical study aimed at reflecting on the contribution of the concept of family myth to nursing care for children in psychological distress. It is methodologically structured around three topics: the importance of the family in caring for children; the perspective of family-centered nursing care for children in psychological distress; and the contribution of the understanding of family myth to nursing care for children in psychological distress. The following dialectic is considered: the family, considered by current literature to be a harmonious unit, also triggers family conflicts that can be the cause of psychological suffering. The concept of family myth emerges as a possible theoretical anchor for nursing care for children in psychological distress, as it allows nurses to consider the signifiers that mark the child's psychological structure and construct their symptoms. Uncovering the place that the family assigns to the child enables nurses to help them construct and elaborate their own place as a subject in their subjectivity.

RESUMEN Se trata de un estudio teórico dirigido a reflexionar sobre la contribución del concepto de mito familiar a los cuidados de enfermería a niños con sufrimiento psicológico. Metodológicamente se estructura en torno a tres temas: la importancia de la familia en el cuidado de los niños; la perspectiva de los cuidados de enfermería centrados en la familia para niños con sufrimiento psicológico; y la contribución de la comprensión del mito familiar a los cuidados de enfermería a niños con sufrimiento psicológico. Se plantea la dialéctica: la familia, considerada por la literatura actual como una unidad armoniosa, también desencadena conflictos familiares que pueden ser causa de sufrimiento psicológico. El concepto de mito familiar emerge como anclaje teórico para los cuidados de enfermería a los niños en malestar psicológico, ya que permite a las enfermeras considerar los significantes que marcan la estructura psicológica del niño y construyen sus síntomas. Desvelar el lugar que la familia asigna al niño permite a las enfermeras ayudarle a construir y elaborar su propio lugar como sujeto en su subjetividad.

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo teórico com o objetivo de refletir sobre a contribuição do conceito de mito familiar para o cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico, sendo metodologicamente estruturado em três tópicos: importância da família no cuidado de crianças; perspectiva do cuidado de enfermagem centrado na família de crianças em sofrimento psíquico; e contribuição do entendimento de mito familiar para o cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico. Considera-se a dialética: a família, tida pela literatura atual como unidade harmônica, também desencadeia conflitos familiares que podem ser a causa de sofrimentos psíquicos. O conceito de mito familiar surge como possibilidade de ancoragem teórica ao cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico ao permitir que o enfermeiro considere os significantes que marcam a estruturação psíquica da criança e constroem seu sintoma. Desvendar o lugar que a família destina à criança viabiliza ao enfermeiro auxiliá-la a construir e elaborar um local próprio enquanto sujeito em sua subjetividade.

Relación entre resiliencia y conductas alimentarias de riesgo / Relationship between resilience and risk eating behaviors

Resumen: Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria son de las enfermedades crónicas más frecuentes en adolescentes y mujeres jóvenes. En México se han encontrado porcentajes desde 5 hasta 18% de conductas alimentarias de riesgo en muestras de mujeres estudiantes universitarias (Unikel-Santoncini, et al., 2004). Por otro lado, la resiliencia se define como un constructo que incluye ciertos fenómenos que consisten en la adecuada adaptación del individuo ante situaciones traumáticas, privación extrema, amenazas graves o estrés elevado (González-Arratia, 2008, en Camacho-Valadez, 2016). Esta investigación examina la relación entre la resiliencia y las conductas alimentarias de riesgo por medio de la aplicación de los instrumentos EAT-26 y RESI-M a 201 mujeres mexicanas, con un promedio de edad de 22 años. Se realizó un análisis de correlación de Producto Momento de Pearson, el cual demostró que, aquellas mujeres con mayores niveles de resiliencia mostraban menos conductas alimentarias de riesgo. Se propone realizar el mismo estudio con poblaciones más jóvenes, así como con participantes de sexo masculino.

Abstract: Eating disorders are one of the most frequent chronic diseases in adolescents and young women. In Mexico, percentages from 5 to 18% of risk eating behaviors have been found in samples of female university students (Unikel-Santoncini, et al., 2004). On the other hand, resilience is defined as a construct that includes certain phenomena that consist of the individual's adequate adaptation to traumatic situations, extreme deprivation, serious threats, or high stress (González-Arratia, 2008, in Camacho Valadez, 2016). This research examines the relationship between resilience and risk eating behaviors through the application of the EAT-26 and RESI-M instruments to 201 Mexican women, with an average age of 22 years. A Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis was performed, which showed that those women with higher levels of resilience showed less risk eating behaviors. It's proposed to carry out the same study with younger populations, as well as with male participants.

Evaluación de la disfunción del endotelio para el pronóstico de riesgo cardiovascular / Evaluation of endothelial dysfunction for cardiovascular risk prediction i: en

Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares constituyen la primera causa de muerte en el mundo, por lo que la identificación y modificación de los factores de riesgo asociados a ellas constituyen estrategias priorizadas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Contar con un modelo de predicción del riesgo cardiovascular enriquecido con la evaluación de la disfunción endotelial influiría positivamente en estas metas. Objetivos: Identificar la presencia de disfunción endotelial en pacientes con enfermedades cardiovasculares o sin estas y determinar la asociación entre ambas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional y descriptivo, de serie de casos, en el Centro de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular del Hospital Provincial Docente Clínico-Quirúrgico Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2022 hasta igual mes del 2023, donde se analizaron como variables los factores de riesgo cardiovascular tradicionales y los biomarcadores de disfunción endotelial. Secundariamente, se llevó a cabo un estudio analítico de casos y controles en el cual se aplicó la regresión logística binaria multivariada. Resultados: Se confirmó la presencia de disfunción endotelial asociada a la aparición de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, lo que se evaluó a través del índice de vasodilatación, mediado por el flujo de la arteria braquial y las concentraciones plasmáticas de fibrinógeno. Conclusiones: Las características epidemiológicas y clínicas de los pacientes con enfermedades cardiovasculares o sin estas no difirieron de lo registrado en la literatura especializada acerca de la base de identificación de los factores de riesgo tradicionales.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases constitute the first death cause worldwide, reason why the identification and modification of associated risk factors constitute prioritized strategies by the World Health Organization. To have a prediction model of cardiovascular risk enriched with the evaluation of the endothelial dysfunction would influence positively in these goals. Objectives: To identify the presence of endothelial dysfunction in patients with or without cardiovascular diseases and to determine the association between them. Methods: An observational and descriptive cases series study was carried out in the Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery Center at Saturnino Lora Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2022 to the same month, 2023, where the traditional cardiovascular risk factors and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers were analyzed as variables. Secondarily, an analytic case-control study was carried out in which multivariate binary logistic regression was applied. Results: The presence of endothelial dysfunction associated with the onset of cardiovascular diseases was confirmed, what was evaluated through the vasodilatation index, mediated by the brachial artery flow and the fibrinogen plasmatic concentrations. Conclusions: The clinical and epidemiological pattern of patients with or without cardiovascular diseases did not differ from that reported in the specialized literature on the base of the identification of traditional risk factors.

Seeking treatment for traumatic dental injuries in schoolchildren: A multilevel analysis

ABSTRACT To investigate individual and contextual factors associated with seeking treatment for traumatic dental injuries. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 739 pairs of guardians and children. Guardians answered a questionnaire addressing sociodemographic characteristics, seeking treatment for a tooth injury in the child, and the Oral Health Literacy-Adult Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and unadjusted and adjusted multilevel Poisson regression analysis (p<0.05). The prevalence of seeking treatment for traumatic dental injury was 44.7%. Sociodemographic variables associated were white skin of the child (PR = 1.30; 95% CI: 1.08-1.76), mother's age older than 35 years (PR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.50-1.90), married parents (PR = 1.93; 95% CI: 1.70-2.23), guardians with more than eight years of schooling (PR = 2.00; 95% CI: 1.76-2.23), with adequate oral health literacy (PR = 3.33; 95% CI: 3.01-3.62) and the daily use of electronic devices by the child (PR = 1.26; 95% CI: 1.02-1.50). On the contextual level, attending a private school (PR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.02-3.05) and the number of primary care units with oral health teams in the school district (PR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.12-2.38) remained associated. Among the children who suffered TDI, adequate oral health literacy on the part of the parents stood out among the factors associated with seeking treatment.

No nível contextual, frequentar uma escola particular (PR = 1,77; IC 95%: 1,02-3,05) e a quantidade de unidades básicas de saúde com equipes de saúde bucal no distrito sanitário da escola (PR = 1,78; IC 95%: 1,12-2,38) permaneceram associados. Entre as crianças que sofreram TDI, a alfabetização em saúde bucal adequada dos pais foi um fator que se destacou na busca por tratamento.

Cross-cultural adaptation of the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI) for use on Brazilian adolescents

Abstract The present study aimed to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI) for native Brazilian Portuguese-speaking adolescents (DHLI-BrA). Cross-cultural adaptation consisted of the following steps: translation, assessment, and adjustments by the expert committee to ensure cultural equivalence; back-translation, and synthesis of back-translations. Cognitive testing was then performed in a pretest with adolescents using cognitive interviews with probing questions on the item's understanding interpretation and response options. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and McDonald's omega were used to estimate the instrument's reliability. Forty-two Brazilian adolescents participated in the study (mean age: 16.0 ± 2.0 years; range: 13 to 19 years). Items that were difficult to understand were adapted to the context of Brazilian adolescents. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and McDonald's omega for the 21 items of the DHLI-BrA were, respectively, 0.79 and 0.80. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the subscales of the self-report instrument was 0.53-0.79 (range), demonstrating good reliability in the total instrument and moderate reliability in the subscales. This study provides the cross-cultural adapted version of the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI), which is an instrument for measuring digital Health literacy, for use in Brazilian adolescents (DHLI-BrA).

Materials and methods: Descriptive retrospective cohort. The study population consisted of women 18 years of age and older with a histological diagnosis of invasive breast cancer stages IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB and IIIC, with a classification by molecular subtypes, who had received prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy, seen at a high complexity clinic in Medellin (Colombia), between July 1, 2017, and July 30, 2019. We measured age clinical stage, histological characteristics, molecular classification, and complete clinical and pathological responses by molecular subtype. A descriptive analysis was conducted. Results: Overall, 255 patients met the inclusion criteria. Mean age was 55.2 years; the clinical stages with the highest prevalence were IIIB (28.6 %) and IIB (26.3 %), and the most frequent by histologic grading were grades 3 (48.2 %) and 2 (37.3 %). Frequency by molecular types was as follows: luminal A (10.2 %), HER2-negative luminal B (39.6 %), triple-negative (23.1%), HER2-positive luminal B (13.7 %), and pure HER2 (13.3 %). Complete clinical response following chemotherapy, by molecular type, was as follows: luminal A (26.9 %), HER2-negative luminal B (37.6 %), HER2-positive luminal B (48.6 %), pure HER2 (41.2 %), triple-negative (45.8 %). Complete pathological response by molecular subtype was achieved in the luminal A (19.2 %), HER2-negative luminal B (32.7 %), HER2-positive luminal B (54.3 %), pure HER2 (50 %) and triple-negative (42.4 %) subtypes. Conclusions: In clinical practice, breast cancer classification by molecular subtypes is a means to approach the assess the to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Se requieren estudios prospectivos en la región para determinar la capacidad predictiva de la respuesta patológica completa respecto a la sobrevida global y libre de enfermedad.

Dental care and risk of developing severe COVID-19 / Atención odontológica y el riesgo de complicación por COVID-19

RESUMEN Durante la pandemia por la COVID-19 la atención odontológica fue recomendada solo en casos de urgencia y dolor. La reducción de citas dentales puede afectar la economía de los dentistas, principalmente la de aquellos que no cuentan con seguridad financiera. Los odontólogos por necesidades económicas requieren brindar atención a pesar del riesgo de ser infectados por SARS-COV-2. Objetivo : Describir la frecuencia de la atención odontológica y el riesgo de complicación por COVID-19 en odontólogos de Ixtlahuaca, Estado de México, México. Material y métodos : Estudio transversal, muestreo no probabilístico desarrollado desde agosto hasta septiembre de 2020. Se aplicó un cuestionario por redes sociales para identificar la frecuencia de la atención odontológica. Resultados: La muestra estuvo conformada por 121 odontólogos; el promedio de edad fue de 32,3 años. La mayor parte de la muestra estuvo conformada por mujeres (74,4 %). Los odontólogos mostraron un riesgo medio a desarrollar complicaciones por COVID-19 (92,5 %). Los odontólogos de práctica privada realizaron más tratamientos no urgentes durante el semáforo epidemiológico rojo y naranja, mostrando diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p ≤ 0,05). El 30 % de la muestra presentó un peso no saludable. Conclusiones : Los odontólogos tienen un riesgo medio a enfermar gravemente por COVID-19. El riesgo se encuentra asociado al peso no saludable. Los odontólogos realizaron tratamientos no urgentes a pesar de las recomendaciones gubernamentales. Los profesionales de práctica privada realizaron una mayor cantidad de tratamientos no urgentes. Los dentistas brindan atención a pesar del riesgo epidemiológico por COVID-19 debido a las necesidades económicas.

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, dental care was recommended only in urgent and severe pain cases. Reduced dental appointments may affect the financial situation of dentists, especially those who are not financially secure. Due to economic necessity, dentists are required to provide care despite the risk of being infected with SARS-COV-2. Objective: To describe the frequency of dental care and the risk of complications due to COVID-19 among dentists in Ixtlahuaca, State of Mexico, Mexico. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study, non-probabilistic sampling carried out from August to September 2020. A survey was carried out through social networks to identify the frequency of dental care. Results: The sample consisted of 121 dentists with an average age of 32.3 years. Women comprised most of the sample (74.4%). Dentists had a medium risk of suffering complications due to COVID-19 (92.5%). Private practice dentists performed more non-urgent treatments during the red and orange epidemiological risk periods, showing statistically significant differences (p≤0.05). Unhealthy weight was present in 30% of the sample. Conclusions: Dentists have a medium risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19. The risk is associated with unhealthy weight. Dentists performed non-urgent treatments despite government recommendations. Private practitioners performed a greater number of non-urgent treatments. Dentists provide care despite epidemiological risk related to COVID-19 due to economic necessity.

Introduction: The main treatment for esophageal cancer is esophagectomy. Objective: To determine the morbidity and mortality of patients operated on for esophageal cancer. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 87 patients operated on for esophageal cancer in the general surgery service of Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora, of Santiago de Cuba, during the period from 2014 to 2018. Results: Curative surgical treatment was received by 2 patients (100.0 percent) in stage II and 12 patients (17.9 percent) in stage III. Palliative surgical treatment was received by 55 ill patients (82.1 percent) in stage III and 18 ill patients (100.0 percent) in stage IV. There was a predominance of the Denk-Sloan-Orringer transhiatal technique, applied in 10 (71.4 percent) patients. Gastrostomy predominated in 53 (76.2 percent) patients as a palliative procedure for feeding. Forty-five complications were reported, 53.3 percent of which were medical, with respiratory complications prevailing: bronchopneumonia (13.3 percent) and respiratory distress (11.1 percent). On the other hand, 46.7 percent of the complications were surgical: surgical site infection (20.0 percent), followed by anastomotic leak (15.6 percent). Out of the total series, 16 (18.4 percent) patients died. The predominant causes of death were respiratory distress (31.3 percent) and multiple organ dysfunction (25.0 percent). Conclusions: Open or minimally invasive esophagectomy stands out as the surgical treatment of choice for esophageal cancer with curative purposes, being a procedure with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The results of this research coincide with those reported in the national and foreign medical literature(AU)

Morbilidad y mortalidad de la duodenopancreatectomía cefálica convencional en pacientes con enfermedad del confluente biliopancreático

Introducción: La duodenopancreatectomía cefálica es una operación cada vez más frecuente en pacientes seleccionados. Objetivo: Identificar la morbilidad y la mortalidad concerniente a la duodenopancreatectomía cefálica convencional. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo de una serie de 15 casos operados de duodenopancreatectomía cefálica. Se investigaron las variables: estadificación según clasificación tumor, linfonódulo, metástasis (TNM), diagnóstico anatomopatológico, complicaciones, tiempo quirúrgico y estado al egreso. Se utilizaron el número absoluto y el porcentaje como medidas de resumen para las variables estadificación y diagnóstico; la media, la mediana y el rango para el tiempo quirúrgico y el intervalo de confianza para el estado al egreso. Resultados: El diagnóstico anatomopatológico principal fue adenocarcinoma de páncreas con 9 pacientes (60,1 %) y de duodeno con 2 (13,3 %). El estadio posoperatorio IIA fue el que prevaleció con 5 (45,5 %). El retraso del vaciamiento gástrico fue la complicación quirúrgica que prevaleció, con 7 (46,7 %) enfermos, seguida de la fístula biliar con 3 (20,0 %). La fístula pancreática, la lesión de la vena mesentérica superior y la hemorragia posoperatoria se presentaron una sola vez (6,7 %), respectivamente. Estas 2 últimas, provocaron la muerte del enfermo en las primeras 48 horas del posoperatorio. Fallecieron 4 (26,7 %) pacientes de la serie. Conclusiones: Las complicaciones posquirúrgicas se observan principalmente a expensas del retardo del vaciamiento gástrico, la fístula biliar y pancreática. La mortalidad puede estar relacionada con la prolongación del tiempo quirúrgico igual o mayor de 5 horas, con el consiguiente aumento de las pérdidas hemáticas.

Introduction: Cephalic duodenopancreatectomy is an increasingly frequent operation in selected patients. Objective: To identify the morbidity and mortality related to conventional cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. Methods: An observational, descriptive study of a series of 15 cases operated on cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. The variables were investigated: staging according to the Tumor, Linphonod, Metastasis (TNM) classification, pathological diagnosis, complications, surgical time and discharge status. Absolute number and percentage were used as summary measures for the variables staging and diagnosis; mean, median and range for surgical time and confidence interval for discharge status. Results: The main pathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with 9 patients (60.1%) and of the duodenum with 2 (13.3%). Postoperative stage IIA was the one that prevailed with 5 (45.5%) patients. Delayed gastric emptying was the prevailing surgical complication, with 7 (46.7%) patients, followed by biliary fistula with 3 (20.0%). Pancreatic fistula, superior mesenteric vein injury, and postoperative hemorrhage occurred only once (6.7%), respectively. These last 2, caused the death of the patient in the first 48 hours of the postoperative period. Four (26.7%) patients in the series died. Conclusions: Postoperative complications are mainly observed at the expense of delayed gastric emptying and biliary and pancreatic fistula. Mortality may be related to the prolongation of surgical time equal to or greater than 5 hours with the consequent increase of blood loss.

Conocimientos en lactancia materna y alimentación complementaria en madres usuarias de los servicios de salud pública de Guatemala / Knowledge of breastfeeding and complementary feeding in mothers who use public health services in Guatemala

: Las prácticas adecuadas de lactancia materna (LM) y de alimentación complementaria (AC) contribuyen al crecimiento y desarrollo de los niños. Con el objetivo de determinar el nivel de conocimientos en LM y AC en madres usuarias de los Servicios de Salud Pública (SSP) de Guatemala, se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal, esperando que los resultados sean utilizados para diseñar intervenciones basadas en evidencia. Se diseñó un instrumento de recolección de datos, el cual se utilizó en una muestra de 1,956 madres entre 15 a 49 años. Se entrevistó a madres de niños menores de dos años usuarias de los SSP de los lugares de cobertura del Ejercicio Profesional Supervisado de la Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala. Los datos se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva, se calificó cada pregunta en cero (0) para respuesta incorrecta y uno (1) para respuesta correcta, estableciendo el nivel de conocimientos como alto (67 a 100% respuestas correctas), medio (34 a 66% respuestas correctas) o bajo (0 a 33% respuestas correctas), agrupando los resultados según variables sociodemográficas. El nivel de conocimiento sobre LM fue alto en 989 madres (51%), medio en 888 madres (45%) y bajo en 79 madres (4%) con un promedio de nota de 73.2(17.1)[58.2, 88.2] sobre 100 puntos. En cuanto al nivel de conocimiento sobre AC fue alto en 251 madres (13%), medio en 1,608 madres (82%) y bajo en 97 madres (5%) con un promedio de nota de 55.2(12.1)[44.5, 65.8]. Se concluyó que, a menor edad y escolaridad de la madre, mayor porcentaje de nivel bajo de conocimiento en LM y AC.

Appropriate breastfeeding (LM ,from its Spanish initials) and complementary feeding (AC, from its Spanish initials) practices contribute to the growth and development of children. The objective of this work was to determine the level of knowledge in LM and AC in mothers who use Public Health Services (SSP) in Guatemala. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, hoping that the results would be used to design an evidence-based impact. A data collection instrument was built, which was used in a sample of 1,956 mothers between 15 and 49 years of age. Mothers of children under two years of age who are users of the SSP covered by the Nutrition Supervised Professional Practice of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala were interviewed. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, each question was scored zero (0) for an incorrect answer and one (1) for a correct answer, establishing the level of knowledge as high (67 to 100% correct answers), medium (34 to 66% correct answers) or low (0 to 33% correct answers), grouping the results obtained according to sociodemographic variables. The level of knowledge about LM was high in 989 mothers (51%), medium in 888 mothers (45%), and low in 79 mothers (4%) with an average grade of 73.2(17.1)[58.2, 88.2] of a 100 points. Regarding the level of knowledge about AC, it was high in 251 mothers (13%), medium in 1,608 mothers (82%) and low in 97 mothers (5%) with an average grade of 55.2(12.1)[44.5, 65.8] . It was concluded that the lower the age and schooling of the mother, the higher the percentage of low level of knowledge in LM and AC.

Clarity of publications on HPV in Instagram profiles of official health agencies in Brazil

Abstract The study analyzed the clarity of publications on human papillomavirus (HPV) in the Instagram profiles of official Brazilian health agencies. An infodemiological study analyzed publications on HPV in the 81 Instagram profiles selected from the Health Ministry, States' Health Departments, and dental councils and associations. The following data were collected: classification of content, type of profiles, type of media, how the content was addressed, number of posts, frequency, likes, comments, viewings, and hashtags, and how the HPV vaccine was addressed. The clarity of the educational publications was assessed using the Brazilian version of the Clear Communication Index (BR-CDC-CCI). Data analysis was performed with Spearman's correlation and the Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05). A total of 504 publications on HPV were found. The average number of likes was 528.3 (SD = 2388.2) and the average BR-CDC-CCI score was 67.1 (SD = 14.1). The quality and clarity of the information was considered adequate (BR-CDC-CCI score ≥ 90) in 6.9% of the publications. A weak positive correlation was found between the number of likes and both the BR-CDC-CCI score (r = 0.195) and number of posts (r = 0.124). Publications from the Health Ministry had a significantly higher BR-CDC-CCI score (72.9) compared to the other profiles analyzed (p = 0.01). Most publications concerned government actions, had low engagement, and written educational information was of low clarity and quality. However, the effort to reach the population was evident, with an increase in publications over the years.

Predictors associated with malocclusion in children with and without sleep disorders: a cross-sectional study

Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate predictors of malocclusion in Brazilian schoolchildren eight to ten years of age based on a causal directed acyclic graph model. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 739 schoolchildren eight to ten years of age. Parents/guardians provided information on sleep disorders of the child (Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children) and family characteristics (Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale). The diagnosis of malocclusion was performed by four trained examiners using the Dental Aesthetic Index. Control variables were selected using a directed acyclic graph. Descriptive analysis was performed, followed by robust logistic regression analysis for complex samples (α = 5%). The following variables were associated with malocclusion in the final model: sleep disorders (OR = 2.61; 95%CI: 2.43-2.86), mouth breathing (OR = 1.04; 95%CI: 1.02-1.99), non-nutritive sucking habits (OR = 2.45; 95%CI: 2.37-4.85), and obesity (OR = 1.54; 95%CI: 1.02-2.33). Sociodemographic characteristics, family functioning, and premature tooth loss did not remain associated with malocclusion. Sleep disorders, mouth breathing, sucking habits, and obesity are predictors of malocclusion in schoolchildren eight to ten years of age.
