RESUMO

Introducción: Se han desarrollado materiales bioactivos para el recubrimiento pulpar directo con el objetivo de preservar la pulpa dentaria y mantener el diente por mayor tiempo en la cavidad oral. Objetivo: El objetivo de esta revisión fue evaluar la efectividad del uso de bioceramicos como material de recubrimiento directo pulpar para mantener la vitalidad pulpar en dientes primarios y permanentes con pulpitis reversible. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática con meta análisis. Se estudió el éxito en el tratamiento del mantenimiento de la vitalidad, el dolor postoperatorio y la decoloración. Se realizó una búsqueda Electrónica en las bases de datos: MEDLINE, EMBASE, COCHRANE, SCOPUS, LILACS, BBO. Se extrajeron los datos y se analizaron con Rev Man. Resultados: Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados en la cual se realizaron recubrimiento pulpar directo con silicatos tricalcicos comparado con otros materiales de recubrimiento. Comparando tres biocerámicos no se encontraron diferencias significativas en el mantenimiento de la vitalidad pulpar. En cuanto a la decoloración se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas a favor de Biodentine (p <0,001). Discusión: la relevancia clínica de estos hallazgos es discutible debido a su pequeña magnitud general y al alto riesgo de sesgo de los estudios incluidos.


Introduction: Bioactive materials have been developed for direct pulp capping in order to preserve the dental pulp and keep the tooth longer in the oral cavity. Objective: The objective of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of bioceramics as direct pulp capping material to maintain pulp vitality in primary and permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis. Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. Success in treating vitality maintenance, postoperative pain, and discoloration was studied. An electronic search was carried out in the databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, COCHRANE, SCOPUS, LILACS, BBO. Data were extracted and analyzed with Rev Man. Results: Randomized clinical trials in which direct pulp capping with tricalcium silicates was performed compared with other capping materials were included. Comparing three bioceramics, no significant differences were found in the maintenance of pulp vitality. Regarding discoloration, statistically significant differences were observed in favor of Biodentine (p <0.001). Discussion: the clinical relevance of these findings is debatable due to their small overall magnitude and the high risk of bias of the included studies.

RESUMO

Introducción. Establecer un estilo de vida activo y saludable es uno de los objetivos más importantes y desafiantes de la rehabilitación cardíaca. Comprender el comportamiento de los patrones de actividad física (AF) en adultos que han sufrido un evento coronario y que han participado en un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca (RC) es necesario para evaluar su impacto y proponer estrategias oportunas en esta área. Objetivo. Evaluar el cumplimiento de la recomendación global de AF 1 año después de ingresar a un programa de RC para enfermedad arterial coronaria. Métodos. Se aplicó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física a adultos con enfermedad coronaria tratada a los 6 y 12 meses de su ingreso a un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca en 6 hospitales de Chile, entre mayo de 2019 y febrero de 2020 en el contexto del estudio aleatorizado. Se realizó un ensayo clínico multicéntrico de no inferioridad (Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial, HYCARET). Resultados. 117 participantes (74 hombres, edad 59,34 ±9,52 años, 83,4±27,2% de adherencia a la RC) físicamente activos al final de un programa de RC fueron evaluados a los 6 y 12 meses desde el ingreso para determinar su adherencia a la AF. La tasa de seguimiento fue del 94,01% a los 6 meses (6m) y del 78,63% a los 12 meses (12m). El 90% de los participantes seguían físicamente activos a los 6 meses y el 92,39% seguían activos a los 12 meses después del evento coronario. Un 5,98% fueron clasificados como inactivos a los 6 m pero estaban físicamente activos al año. En contraste, sólo el 0,85% se volvió inactivo a los 6 meses y permaneció inactivo hasta 1 año, mientras que el 4,27% se reportó como activo a los 6 meses, pero terminó estando inactivo al año. La AF relacionada con las tareas del hogar es responsable del 40% y más del gasto calórico total de los adultos después de un evento coronario en todo momento. El gasto calórico relacionado con actividades recreativas y transporte disminuyó a los 6 y 12 meses, mientras que el gasto calórico asociado con el trabajo y las actividades domésticas aumentó a los 6 y 12 meses después de completar un programa de RC. Conclusión. Los adultos que completan un programa de RC continúan activos 6 y 12 meses después de un evento coronario. Sin embargo, las actividades que generan mayor gasto calórico varían con el tiempo. Este hallazgo resalta la importancia de fomentar la actividad física como parte del tiempo de ocio y recreación en los adultos, ya que se sabe que su beneficio es mayor.


Background. Establishing a healthy, active lifestyle is one of the most important and challenging goals of cardiac rehabilitation. Understanding the behavior of physical activity (PA) patterns in adults who have suffered a coronary event and who have participated in a Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) program is necessary to evaluate its impact and propose timely strategies in this area. Objetive. To evaluate compliance with the global PA recommendation 1 year after entering a CR program for coronary artery disease. Methods. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was applied to adults with coronary heart disease treated 6 and 12 months after admission to a Cardiac Rehabilitation program in 6 hospitals in Chile, between May 2019 and February 2020 in the context of the randomized study. A multicenter non-inferiority clinical trial (Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial, HYCARET) was conducted. Results. 117 participants (74 men, age 59.34 ± 9.52 years, 83.4 ± 27.2% adherence to CR) physically active at the end of a CR program were evaluated at 6 and 12 months from entry. to determine their adherence to PA. The follow-up rate was 94.01% at 6 months (6m) and 78.63% at 12 months (12m). 90% of participants were still physically active at 6 months and 92.39% were still active at 12 months after the coronary event. 5.98% were classified as inactive at 6 m but were physically active at one year. In contrast, only 0.85% became inactive at 6 months and remained inactive for up to 1 year, while 4.27% reported themselves as active at 6 months but ended up being inactive at one year. Housework-related PA is responsible for 40% and more of adults' total caloric expenditure after a coronary event at all times. Caloric expenditure related to recreational activities and transportation decreased at 6 and 12 months, while caloric expenditure associated with work and home activities increased at 6 and 12 months after completing a CR program. Conclusion. Adults who complete a CR program remain active 6 and 12 months after a coronary event. However, the activities that generate the greatest caloric expenditure vary over time. This finding highlights the importance of promoting physical activity as part of leisure and recreation time in adults, since it is known that its benefit is greater.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To estimate the effectiveness of Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) in adults with COPD undergoing MV. Method: A sensitive search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, CINAHL and other resources. Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCTs) or non-RCTs that enrolled adults with COPD on MV due to an exacerbation of their disease were included. Two independent reviewers screened, extracted information, and assessed the risk of bias (RoB 2 tool) and the certainty of evidence (GRADE approach) from the included studies. Results: Four RCTs (144 participants) were included. Subjects who underwent NMES were able to move from bed to chair independently in less time (MD = 4.98 days less; 95% CI -8.55 to -1.47; 2 RCTs; low certainty of the evidence) and they were fewer days on MV (MD = 2.89 days less; 95% CI -4.58 to -1.21); 3 RCTs; low certainty of the evidence) than the control group. However, the effect of NMES on muscle strength is unclear (very low certainty of the evidence). Conclusions: NMES may improve functional independence and decrease MV time in adults with COPD; however, its effectiveness on muscle strength is uncertain. More and better RCTs are needed to determine with greater certainty the effectiveness of NMES in this population.

INTRODUCTION: Rehabilitation and physical therapy have been adapting to the telehealth era, increasing accessibility and improving the continuity of attention in geographically remote populations with disabilities. Due to the spread of infection by SARS-CoV-2, many professionals have had to adapt their work to telerehabilitation practices, which require the best evidence at short notice and in summarized form. In this context, this protocol has been developed to evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation as a care strategy in physical therapy for different conditions, populations, and contexts. METHOD AND ANALYSIS: An overview will be carried out in the format of a rapid review. It will include systematic reviews of different conditions, populations, and contexts, where the intervention to be evaluated is telerehabilitation by physical therapy. The outcomes considered will be clinical effectiveness depending on the specific condition, functionality, quality of life, satisfaction, adherence, and safety. A search will be carried out of the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Studies will be selected in duplicate with any discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment will be carried out by a reviewer with non-independent verification by a second reviewer. The findings will be reported qualitatively by tables and figures. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The principles of the value of the research question, the methodological rigor, scientifically qualified investigators, an independent evaluation of the protocol, and timely and accurate publication of the results will be complied with. The complete review will lead to the publication of at least one article, and the results will be widely disseminated at various levels of decision-making.

RESUMO

Resumen: Antecedentes: La Rehabilitación Cardíaca disminuye las complicaciones de la cirugía cardíaca y es mundialmente reconocida. A pesar de esto, en Chile su desarrollo ha sido lento y el reporte de experiencias bajo. Objetivo: Describir la progresión de acuerdo los pasos de rehabilitación y días postoperatorios en pacientes de rehabilitación cardíaca fase I en un hospital público de Temuco, Chile. Metodología: Se analizó una serie de casos de pacientes en rehabilitación cardíaca fase I, participantes de un protocolo basado en hitos motores de seis pasos: movilización en cama (P1); sedente borde cama (P2); marcha de 35 mts (P3); marcha hasta 100 mts (P4); marcha hasta 200 metros más subir/bajar un piso de escaleras (P5); marcha de 300 metros más subir/bajar dos pisos de escaleras (P6). Resultados: Se incluyeron 243 pacientes (1.033 sesiones) con una media de 65.9 años (DS 9.5), mediana de hospitalización 6 días. Del total de atenciones realizadas el día 1, en 53% de ellas se alcanzó el P1; en el día 2, en un 51% se alcanzó el P2 y en un 42% un paso ≥P3; en el día 3, en 44.78% se alcanzó paso ≥P4; en el día 4, en 37.75% se alcanzó ≥P4. En los días 5-7, aproximadamente 50% logró ≥P5. Conclusión: La progresión de los pasos es proporcional al día postcirugía y es más rápida en hombres. Al momento del alta, 75% de los pacientes alcanza una independencia funcional que les permite caminar dos cuadras y subir/bajar un piso de escaleras.


Abstract Background: Despite advances in cardiovascular disease management and the development of minimally invasive approaches, open cardiac surgery is still a preferred intervention in complicated cases. Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation decreases complications associated with this intervention. Globally, cardiac rehabilitation is widely recommended. However, in Chile the implementation of this intervention has been slow and there are scarce reports of its result. Objective: To describe the progression according to steps and post-surgery days in cardiac rehabilitation phase I patients in the public hospital in Temuco, Chile. Methodology: We analyzed a series of cases of patients in cardiac rehabilitation phase I, participants of a protocol based on six-step motor levels: (S1) on-bed mobilization, (S2) sitting on the edge of the bed, (S3) Bipedal exercise and 35 meter walking, (S4) 100 meter walking, (P5) 200 meter walking plus going up one floor and down stairs, and (S6) 300 meter walking plus going two floors up and down stairs. Results: 243 patients were included, and 1,033 sessions were performed) Mean age was 65.9years-old (SD 9.5) and hospital stay run for a median of 6 days. From all sessions, on day one, 53% of patients reached S1. On day 2, 51% reached S2 and 36% walked (S3). On day 3, 44.78% reached ≥S4. On day 4, 37.75% reached ≥S4. On days 5-7, approximately 50% achieved ≥S5. Conclusion: the step progression is proportional to number of days after surgery, faster in men than compared to women. At discharge, 75 % of patients show functional independency that allows them to walk two blocks and go one floor up and down stairs.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. Thus, genetic variants related with these conditions may modulate its development. We evaluated the effect of polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) on metabolic syndrome risk in a cohort of Chilean subjects. Subjects and methods A total of 152 subjects, 83 with MetS (51.2 ± 9.6 years) and 69 without MetS (49.5 ± 9.3 years) of both genders were included, according to the ATP III update criteria. The rs4340 Insertion/Deletion (I/D), rs699 (T>C) and rs5186 (A>C) of the ACE, AGT and AGTR1 genes, respectively, were genotyped. Results After adjusting for age and gender, we observed the DD genotype of rs4340 associated with MetS (p = 0.02). Specifically, the DD genotype was associated with MetS risk in women (OR = 4.62, 95%CI, 1.41 – 15.04; p < 0.01). In males, the AA genotype for rs5186 variant was associated with an increased risk for developing MetS when compared with women carrying the same genotype (OR = 3.2; 95%CI, 1.03 – 9.89; p = 0.04). In subjects without MetS, DD genotype was associated with increased waist circumference (p = 0.023) while subjects with MetS carrying the rs5186 TT genotype showed higher levels of HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.031). Conclusion The present study contributes data highlighting the role for RAS polymorphisms in predisposing to metabolic syndrome in Chilean subjects.

RESUMO

Background: A successful cardiovascular prevention program should induce a reduction of risk factors along time. Aim: To assess changes in cardiovascular risk factors among males aged between 35 and 65 years living in Southern Chile. Material and Methods: The results of two cross sectional household surveys, with a probability sampling stratified by socioeconomic status, were analyzed. Two hundred males were evaluated in 1989 and 800 in 2011-12, paired by age for selection. Results: In the second survey, a mean weight increase of 4.5 kg was recorded. Body mass index increased from 27.1 to 28.6 kg/m² (p < 0.01), especially in men younger than 45 years old. No changes in smoking prevalence were observed. The prevalence of hypertension and hypertensive patients in treatment increased from 32.7 to 38.1% and from 17 to 33%, respectively. The number of treated hypertensive patients with a well-controlled blood pressure did not change significantly. In 1989 and 2011-12, mean total cholesterol values were 192 and 201 mg/dl respectively (p < 0.01). The figures for mean non-HDL cholesterol were 152 and 160 mg/dl (p = 0.03). The frequency of people with total cholesterol over 240 mg/dl or using statins increased from 15 to 25% (p < 0.01). The estimated 10 years risk of myocardial infarction and coronary death using Framingham tables was 9,0 in both periods (p = 0.95). Conclusions: In a 22 years period an increase in the prevalence of obesity and elevated total cholesterol was observed. There was a higher proportion of individuals treated for hypertension and dyslipidemia, but without reduction in the estimated cardiovascular risk.

RESUMO

Una revisión sistemática reciente de la colaboración Cochrane sobre el efecto de la reducción de sal en la dieta, concluyó que “aún no hay poder estadístico suficiente para excluir efectos clínicamente importantes de la dieta baja en sal en mortalidad o morbilidad cardiovascular en población normotensa o hipertensa”. Esta conclusión ha generado un debate importante porque la estimación que existe de que la reducción del consumo de sal prevendría los accidentes vasculares cerebrales en 24 por ciento y la enfermedad coronaria en 18 por ciento, ha llevado a las autoridades de salud de varios países a instaurar políticas públicas de reducción del consumo de sal. La revisión de estudios ecológicos y ensayos clínicos permite concluir que la reducción del consumo de sodio disminuye la presión arterial, y estudios metodológicamente sólidos de cohortes demuestran que el riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares disminuye progresivamente mientras más baja es la presión arterial. La combinación de estos dos resultados permite suponer que existiría un beneficio para las poblaciones al reducir la ingesta de sal aunque efectivamente no existan estudios que demuestren que en poblaciones con alto consumo de sal hay una reducción de eventos cardiovasculares al reducir la ingesta de sal.


A recent systematic review of Cochrane collaboration about the effect of reducing dietary salt concluded that “there is still insufficient power to exclude clinically important effects of reduced dietary salt on mortality or cardiovascular morbidity in normotensive or hypertensive populations”. This conclusion has generated an important debate, because the estimation that salt reduction can prevent 24 percent of strokes and 18 percent of myocardial infarctions has decided the health authorities of several nations to implement salt consumption reduction programs. The review of ecological studies and clinical trials allow to conclude that a reduction in salt consumption reduces blood pressure and methodological well conducted cohort studies has shown that cardiovascular events risk decreases progressively with lower levels of blood pressure. Combining this two finding we can assume that population should benefice from a decrease on salt consumption although there are no studies that shown a reduction in cardiovascular events in population with high sodium intake when dietary salt is reduced.

RESUMO

Introducción: Múltiples genes y sus polimorfismos han sido asociados al origen de la formación de la placa aterosclerótica y subsecuentemente el desarrollo de enfermedad cardiovascular. Uno de estos genes implicados, es el que codifica para la proteína C reactiva (CRP), importante marcador proinflamatorio y de inflamación. Entre las variantes identificadas en este gen, el polimorfismo rs3040244 C>T>A ha sido asociado a elevados niveles de CRP-hs. Sin embargo, los resultados obtenidos entre poblaciones son contradictorios. Objetivo: investigar la asociación entre el polimorfismo rs3091244 y niveles séricos de CRP-hs en individuos de la región de La Araucanía. Métodos: Se determinó la concentración sérica de CRP-hs a 157 sujetos adultos sin parentesco entre ellos. La genotipificación del polimorfismo rs3091244 se realizó mediante la técnica de PCR-RFLP Resultados: La distribución de genotipos para el polimorfismo rs3091244 del gen CRP fue la siguiente: CC 11.5 por ciento, CT 45.2 por ciento, TT 31.2 por ciento, CA 5.0 por ciento y TA 7.0 por ciento. Los portadores de los genotipos TT y TA presentaron elevadas concentraciones séricas de CRP-hs cuando comparadas al genotipo de referencia CC (p=0.030 y p=0.002, respectivamente). Conclusión: Nuestros datos demuestran que el polimorfismo rs3091244 del gen CRP contribuye para el aumento de los niveles séricos de CRP-hs, y por tanto incrementa el riesgo cardiovascular.


Background: Several genes and their polymorphisms have been associated with atherosclerotic plaque formation and subsequent development of cardiovascular disease. One of them is the C-reactive protein (CRP) encoding gene, CRP being a recognized important pro-inflammatory and inflammatory marker. Biallelics and triallelics single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of this gene have been identified. The rs3040244 C>T>A is known as the variant most strongly associated with high hs-CRP levels. However, the results between populations are contradictory. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the possible association between the rs3091244 polymorphism and serum levels of hs-CRP in Southern Chilean individuals. Methods: We determined the serum hs-CRP in 157 unrelated adult subjects. The rs3091244 polymorphism was detected by PCR-RFLP. Results: The genotype distribution for the rs3091244 polymorphism of the CRP gene was as follows: CC 11.5 percent, CT 45.2 percent, TT 31.2 percent, CA 5.0 percent and TA 7.0 percent. Individuals carrying the TT and TA genotypes showed higher serum hs-CRP when compared to the reference CC genotype (p = 0.030 and p = 0.002, respectively). Conclusion: Our data shows that the rs3091244 SNP of the CRP gene contributes to increase the hs-CRP levels, which may imply an increased cardiovascular risk.

RESUMO

Background: Physical activity plays a crucial role in the protection against cardiovascular diseases. Aim: To assess the level of physical activity in a group of subjects living in urban Temuco. Material and Methods: Cross sectional study in a random sample of 1091 women aged 52 ± 10 years and 444 men aged 54 ± 10 years , living in Temuco, Chile. The level of physical activity was measured using the long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Age, gender, educational and socioeconomic level were also determined in study subjects. Results: Median energy expenditure was 2150 and 1600 MET-minute/ week in men and women, respectively (p = 0,001). It decreased with age from a median of 1965 MET-minute/ week in those younger than 50 years old to 1647 MET-minute/ week among subjects aged between 51 and 60 years old and to 1485 MET-minute/ week among those older than 60 years. (p = 0,001). The frequency of high, moderate and low physical activity levels were 15.6, 66 and 18.4 percent respectively. These levels were associated with gender, age, educational and socioeconomic level. Conclusions: There was a high frequency of low and moderate levels of physical activity in the urban population of Temuco, associated with female gender, advanced age and middle socioeconomic level.
