RESUMO
As indicações de tratamento das fraturas mandibulares em paciente pediátrico variam em conservador, fixação não rígida e interna rígida. Alterações no crescimento ósseo, disfunções na articulação temporomandibular e assimetrias faciais podem ser decorrentes ao insucesso do tratamento. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em relatar abordagem cirúrgica em fratura de sínfise e côndilo mandibular bilateral em paciente pediátrico. Paciente gênero feminino, 09 anos de idade, foi encaminhada ao Hospital Geral do Estado - Bahia vítima de queda de nível, cursando com trauma em face. Apresentou queixa principal, referida pela progenitora, de dificuldades em fechar a boca. Ao exame físico, a paciente apresentou mobilidade atípica à manipulação da mandíbula, mordida aberta anterior, equimose sublingual, ausência das unidades dentárias 74 e 75, com abertura bucal regular e suturas em posição em região de mento. Ao exame de imagem de tomografia computadorizada da face, pôde-se notar sinais sugestivos de fratura em região de sínfise e côndilos mandibulares bilateral. Após diagnóstico das fraturas, a paciente foi submetida à cirurgia sob anestesia geral para redução e fixação das mesmas. Realizou-se acessos em ferimento na região mentual e retromandibular bilateral com posterior síntese das fraturas utilizando fixação interna rígida com placas do sistema 2.0mm, associada a odontossíntese na fratura de sínfise. Ao acompanhamento periódico, a eleição do tratamento cirúrgico para fraturas mandibulares em pacientes pediátricos, pode permitir segurança no crescimento ósseo mandibular e facial(AU)
The indications for treatment of mandibular fractures in pediatric patients vary from conservative, non-rigid fixation and rigid internal fixation. Changes in bone growth, temporomandibular joint disorders and facial asymmetries may be due to treatment failure. The objective of this work is to report a surgical approach to bilateral symphysis and mandibular condyle fractures in a pediatric patient. Female patient, 9 years old, was sent to the State General Hospital - Bahia, victim of a fall in level, suffering from trauma to the face. She presented a main complaint, mentioned by her mother, of difficulties in closing her mouth. On physical examination, the patient presented atypical mobility when manipulating the jaw, anterior open bite, sublingual ecchymosis, absence of dental units 74 and 75, with regular mouth opening and sutures in position in the chin region. When examining the computed tomography image of the face, signs suggestive of fracture in the region of the symphysis and bilateral mandibular condyles were noted. After diagnosis of the fractures, the patient underwent surgery under general anesthesia to reduce and fix them. Access was performed on a wound in the mental and bilateral retromandibular region with subsequent synthesis of the fractures using rigid internal fixation with 2.0mm system plates, associated with odontosynthesis in the symphysis fracture. With periodic monitoring, the choice of surgical treatment for mandibular fractures in pediatric patients can allow for safe mandibular and facial bone growth(AU)

INTRODUCCION En los últimos años, se ha descrito el uso de placas horizontales para la fijación de fracturas que comprometen el reborde articular de los platillos tibiales, lo que se conoce como placa rim. La mayoría de las publicaciones al respecto describen su uso en columnas posteriores y posterolaterales de los platillos tibiales, y a la fecha hay escasos reportes del uso de este tipo de placa en la columna anteromedial y ninguno para la posteromedial. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar dos casos clínicos de fracturas conminutas del platillo tibial medial mostrando su tratamiento con el uso de placas rim. CASOS CLINICOS El primer caso presentaba compromiso anteromedial y posteromedial, y el segundo, compromiso posteromedial. En ambos casos, se logró la reducción mediante un abordaje posteromedial y su fijación con placa bloqueada de 2,7 mm como placa rim. En cada caso, se detalló la estrategia de reducción y el manejo postoperatorio. RESULTADOS Ambos pacientes consiguieron la consolidación ósea entre las semanas 14 y 18 tras la osteosíntesis definitiva, sin presentar pérdidas de reducción. Ambos lograron rango de movilidad articular completo (0°125°), y retornaron a sus trabajos a los 4 y 6 meses respectivamente. CONCLUSIONES Estas placas ofrecen una buena opción de tratamiento para fracturas articulares conminutas del borde del platillo tibial, tanto en la columna anteromedial como en la posteromedial. A pesar de la ausencia de grandes series de pacientes con uso de placas rim mediales, el resultado de los casos presentados aquí nos permite plantear su utilidad al momento de enfrentarnos a fracturas del reborde articular
INTRODUCTION In recent years, the use of horizontal plates has been described to achieve fixation of fractures that compromise the articular ridge of the tibial plateau; these plates are known as "rim plates." Most publications report their use in the posterior and posterolateral columns of the tibial plateau, and to date there are few reports of its use for the fixation of the anteromedial column and none for the posteromedial column. The objective of the present article is to report two clinical cases of comminuted fractures of the medial tibial plateau, showing their treatment with the use of medial rim plates. CLINICAL CASES The first case presented with an anteromedial and posteromedial tibial plateau fracture, and the second, a posteromedial fracture. In both cases, reduction was achieved through a posteromedial approach, and the fixation was performed with a 2.7-mm locked rim plate. The reduction strategy and postoperative management were detailed in each case. RESULTS Both patients achieved bone consolidation during the 14th and 18th weeks after the definitive osteosynthesis, without presenting loss of reduction. Both patients achieved full range of joint motion (0°125°) and returned to work after four and six months respectively. CONCLUSION These plates offer a good treatment option for comminuted fractures of the rim of the tibial plateau, for both the anteromedial and posteromedial columns. Despite the absence of large series of patients with the use of medial rim plates, the results of the two cases herein presented enables us to propose it as a useful tool when dealing with fractures of the medial rim of the tibial plateau

Introducción: Los aneurismas de la arteria carótida extracraneal (ACEC) son poco frecuentes en comparación con las lesiones oclusivas. Los ACEC son menos del 1% de todos los aneurismas arteriales y solo el 10% son considerados aneurismas verdaderos. Caso Clínico: Paciente femenina de 84 años, en excelentes condiciones generales, hipertensa e hiperlipidémica, neurológicamente asintomática, con hallazgo de aneurisma de carótida interna derecha en el contexto de una arteria elongada, estenosis moderada ostial y oclusión de arteria carótida interna contralateral. Se realiza resección de aneurisma con anastomosis término terminal, endarterectomía del ostium y angioplastía con parche. Su evolución fue favorable, manteniéndose asintomática y con la reconstrucción permeable a 6 meses de seguimiento en eco duplex. Discusión: La elección del manejo del ACEC va a depender de sus características morfológicas, en este caso la presencia de tortuosidad extrema de la arteria carótida interna dificultaba la posibilidad de manejo endovascular, pero facilitaba la resección del aneurisma con anastomosis primaria término terminal. Conclusión: La aneurismectomía y reconstrucción es una modalidad de manejo disponible para los ACEC.
Introduction: Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) are rare compared to occlusive disease, less than 1% of all arterial aneurysms and only 10% are considered true aneurysms. Clinical case: A 84-year-old female, active and in excellent general health, with a prior history significant only for hypertension and hyperlipidemia was referred for a right internal carotid artery aneurysm and elongation in the context of contralateral internal carotid artery occlusion. The patient denied neurologic symptoms. Resection of the aneurysm and end-to-end anastomosis, endarterectomy of the ostium and patch angioplasty was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery, remaining asymptomatic and the reconstruction patent on duplex scan at 6 month follow up. Discussion: The choice of repair alternatives for EICA depend on its morphological characteristics. The presence of extreme tortuosity of the internal carotid artery in this case, on one hand make difficult to consider endovascular alternatives, but facilitates aneurysm resection and primary end-to-end anastomosis. Conclusion: Aneurysmectomy and arterial reconstruction is a treatment alternative for EICA repair.

Environmental pollution is closely linked to the occurrence and development of cancer. Chemical carcinogens are the most important environmental factors causing cancer in humans. Among them, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are characterized by their widespread distribution, persistence, and bioaccumulation. Research on the carcinogenic effects of POPs has received considerable attention in recent years. This article reviewed the internal exposure, association with cancer risk, and potential carcinogenic mechanisms of five typical classes of POPs in the environment, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). These five types of POPs have distinct carcinogenic mechanisms, including interfering with cell proliferation cycle, altering epigenetic inheritance, promoting oxidative stress, altering energy metabolism, and affecting immune function. The development of cancer is the result of interaction between intrinsic genetic factors and external environmental factors. In addition to focusing on how environmental POPs affect the genetic material of organisms, it is also important to consider their effects on the tumor microenvironment, including tumor immunity and angiogenesis. Understanding these effects is crucial for guiding future efforts in pollution control and precision medicine in cancer treatment.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided musculocutaneous nerve(MCN)block anesthesia in alleviating operative pain during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)for hemodialysis internal fistula.Methods A total of 112 patients undergoing internal fistula PTA in the hemodi-alysis center of the nephrologic department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical Uni-versity from February 2022 to February 2023 were selected.Among them,47 patients applied the ultrasound-guided MCN block anesthesia(MCN block group)and other 65 patients adopted perivascular local infiltration anesthesia in the injured blood vessel section(local anesthesia group).Anesthesia was independently operated by the vascular access doctor.The VAS score,analgesic satisfaction investigation and motor block evaluation were compared between the two groups,and the efficacy and safety of MCN block anesthesia were under-stood.Results The proportion of the patients with motor block score grade 1 in the MCN block group was the highest(93.6%),and there were no patients with the grade ≥3.The proportion of the patients with the VAS score(4-6)points in the local anesthesia group was the highest(52.3%),while the proportion of the patients with the VAS score(1-3)points in the MCN block group was the highest(76.6%);the proportions of(1-3)points,(4-6)points,(7-10)points and the patients with additional anesthesia had statistical differences between the MCN block group and local anesthesia group(P<0.05).The satisfaction degree of postoperative analgesia in the local anesthesia group was 55.4%,which was lower than 85.1%in the MCN block group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The upper arm MCN block anesthesia could effectively relief the operative pain in arteriovenous internal fistula PTA,and is an effective anesthesia method suitable for the independent operation of hemodialysis channel surgeons.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the risk factors of femoral head necrosis after internal fixation of fem-oral neck fracture,and to clarify the predictive role of serological index plasminogen activator inhibitors-1(PAI-1)on femoral head necrosis.Methods A total of 95 patients undergoing internal fixation for femoral neck fracture were included in the study.Relevant clinical information of patients was obtained and the serum PAI-1 levels of the patients before surgery,1,2,and 3 days after surgery were detected.After 1-year follow-up,patients were divided into necrosis group and non-necrosis group according to the occurrence of femoral head necrosis.Visual Analog Scale(VAS),Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC),and Harris Hip Score(HHS)were conducted in all patients one year after the surgery.The differences of basic clinical information and serum PAI-1 levels before and after the surgery between necrosis group and non-necrosis group were compared,and Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the relevant risk factors for femoral head necrosis.The relationships between the PAI-1 level after operation and the VAS,WOMAC,and HHS scores of patients were figured out.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of serum PAI-1 as a predictive indicator for femoral head necrosis was drawn to clarify its predictive val-ue.Results Garden classification and reduction quality between the necrosis group and the non-necrosis group were risk factors for femoral head necrosis(P<0.05).The serum PAI-1 at 1 day and 2 days after surgery in the necrosis group were significantly higher than that in the non-necrosis group(P<0.05).The level of PAI-1 at 1 day and 2 days after surgery was positively correlated with VAS and WOMAC(P<0.05),and negative-ly correlated with HHS(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of serum PAI-1 level at 1 day and 2 days after surgery were risk factors for femoral head necrosis(P<0.05).The ROC curve showed that serum PAI-1 level at 2 days after surgery had higher predictive value than that at 1 day after sur-gery,and the cut-off value was 44.8 ng/L,the sensitivity was 68.49%,the specificity was 86.36%,and the ar-ea under the curve(AUC)was 0.807.Conclusion The serum PAI-1 level at 1 day and 2 days after internal fixation of femoral neck fracture could be used to predict the occurrence of femoral head necrosis,especially the serum PAI-1 levels at 2 days after surgery.
RESUMO
Middle-aged and elderly patients with femoral neck fracture often suffer from basic diseases. Conservative treatment will significantly increase the incidence of complications. At present, surgical treatment is mostly advocated. Internal fixation is one of the effective treatment methods for middle-aged and elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. It has the advantages of improving hip joint function, accelerating patient recovery, and improving patient quality of life. At present, there are many choices of internal fixation in the world, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no unified standard. Different surgical methods can be selected according to various factors such as fracture type, patient′s physical condition and surgical auxiliary technology. This article reviews the clinical progress of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients from four aspects: the characteristics of femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients, common internal fixation methods, 3D printing guide plate auxiliary technology and artificial intelligence auxiliary technology.
RESUMO
Femoral intertrochanteric fracture is one of the common types of fractures in the elderly. With the general improvement of medical and living standards, the number of elderly people is increasing, and the problem of osteoporosis has also become relatively prominent. Therefore, low violence can usually cause fractures in this area of the elderly, which has a significant negative impact on the quality of life of elderly patients. With the further development of medical technology and internal fixation materials, the emergence of proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA) has greatly improved the treatment effect of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. However, with the increasing number of patients treated, internal fixation failures have gradually been reported. In recent years, proximal femoral biomimetic intramedullary nail(PFBN) has been reported to have good clinical efficacy. Therefore, this article mainly elaborates on the theoretical basis, design characteristics, biomechanics, and clinical efficacy research of PFBN, providing more reference for the clinical treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients in the future.

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the effectiveness of O-arm navigation and C-arm navigation for guiding percutaneous long sacroiliac screws in treatment of Denis type Ⅱ sacral fractures.@*METHODS@#A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of the 46 patients with Denis type Ⅱ sacral fractures between April 2021 and October 2022. Among them, 19 patients underwent O-arm navigation assisted percutaneous long sacroiliac screw fixation (O-arm navigation group), and 27 patients underwent C-arm navigation assisted percutaneous long sacroiliac screw fixation (C-arm navigation group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, causes of injuries, Tile classification of pelvic fractures, combined injury, the interval from injury to operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative preparation time, the placement time of each screw, the fluoroscopy time of each screw during placement, screw position accuracy, the quality of fracture reduction, and fracture healing time were recorded and compared, postoperative complications were observed. Pelvic function was evaluated by Majeed score at last follow-up.@*RESULTS@#All operations were completed successfully, and all incisions healed by first intention. Compared to the C-arm navigation group, the O-arm navigation group had shorter intraoperative preparation time, placement time of each screw, and fluoroscopy time, with significant differences ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in screw position accuracy and the quality of fracture reduction ( P>0.05). There was no nerve or vascular injury during screw placed in the two groups. All patients in both groups were followed up, with the follow-up time of 6-21 months (mean, 12.0 months). Imaging re-examination showed that both groups achieved bony healing, and there was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). During follow-up, there was no postoperative complications, such as screw loosening and breaking or loss of fracture reduction. At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in pelvic function between the two groups ( P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Compared with the C-arm navigation, the O-arm navigation assisted percutaneous long sacroiliac screws for the treatment of Denis typeⅡsacral fractures can significantly shorten the intraoperative preparation time, screw placement time, and fluoroscopy time, improve the accuracy of screw placement, and obtain clearer navigation images.

OBJECTIVE@#To review the biomechanical research progress of internal fixation of tibial plateau fracture in recent years and provide a reference for the selection of internal fixation in clinic.@*METHODS@#The literature related to the biomechanical research of internal fixation of tibial plateau fracture at home and abroad was extensively reviewed, and the biomechanical characteristics of the internal fixation mode and position as well as the biomechanical characteristics of different internal fixators, such as screws, plates, and intramedullary nails were summarized and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Tibial plateau fracture is one of the common types of knee fractures. The conventional surgical treatment for tibial plateau fracture is open or closed reduction and internal fixation, which requires anatomical reduction and strong fixation. Anatomical reduction can restore the normal shape of the knee joint; strong fixation provides good biomechanical stability, so that the patient can have early functional exercise, restore knee mobility as early as possible, and avoid knee stiffness. Different internal fixators have their own biomechanical strengths and characteristics. The screw fixation has the advantage of being minimally invasive, but the fixation strength is limited, and it is mostly applied to Schatzker typeⅠfracture. For Schatzker Ⅰ-Ⅳ fracture, unilateral plate fixation can be used; for Schatzker Ⅴand Ⅵ fracture, bilateral plates fixation can be used to provide stronger fixation strength and avoid the stress concentration. The intramedullary nails fixation has the advantages of less trauma and less influence on the blood flow of the fracture end, but the fixation strength of the medial and lateral plateau is limited; so it is more suitable for tibial plateau fracture that involves only the metaphysis. Choosing the most appropriate internal fixation according to the patient's condition is still a major difficulty in the surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures.@*CONCLUSION@#Each internal fixator has good fixation effect on tibial plateau fracture within the applicable range, and it is an important research direction to improve and innovate the existing internal fixator from various aspects, such as manufacturing process, material, and morphology.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy and clinical results of total internal protection technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.@*METHODS@#A total of 56 patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction treated from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected. According to the different surgical methods, they were divided into total internal reconstruction group and standard bone tunnel group. There were 21 patients in the total internal reconstruction group, including 15 males and 6 females, aged from 20 to 48 with an average of (35.6±6.7) years old, and 35 patients in the standard tibial tunnel group, including 26 males and 9 females, aged 22 to 51 years old with an average of (33.7±9.6) years old. Preoperative examination of Lachman test was positive, magnetic resonance indicated anterior cruciate ligament rupture. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, sex, body mass index, time from injury to ACL reconstruction, combined meniscus injury and operation method, operation time, ligament diameter, ligament length and other general information. Postoperative evaluation included operation duration, length and diameter of transplanted tendon after braid. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, Tegner score and perioperative complications 2 years after surgery.@*RESULTS@#Both groups were followed up, ranging from 24 to 30 months with an average of (26.9±3.4) months. Postoperative incision healing was good, and no failure or joint infection occurred at the last follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in IKDC score, Lysholm score and Tegner score before, 1 year and 2 years after surgery. However, IKDC score, Lysholm score and Tegner score at 1 year and 2 years after surgery.@*CONCLUSION@#The same postoperative function and stability of knee joint can be obtained by both the residual whole technique and the standardized reconstruction technique. In the residual whole group, only the semitendinosus muscle is taken, and the femoral thin muscle is retained, with greater tibial bone mass preserved, which is safe and effective in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical effect of total hip replacement (THA) in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture.@*METHODS@#From October 2019 to June 2022, 15 patients with secondary traumatic arthritis of acetabulum fracture were treated with THA. There were 8 males and 7 females, aged from 40 to 76 years old with an average of (59.20±9.46) years old. Prosthesis loosening, dislocation of hip joint, range of motion of hip joint, nerve injury and other conditions were recorded before and after surgery. Harris score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and imaging were used to evaluate hip joint function and surgical effect.@*RESULTS@#Follow-up time ranged 6 to 39 months with an average of (18.33±9.27) months. All the 15 patients successfully completed the operation, no nerve and blood vessel injury during the operation, postoperative wound healing was stageⅠ, no infection, one case of acetabular side prosthesis loosening at half a year after operation, and recovered well after revision surgery, one case of hip dislocation was cured after open reduction treatment, no adverse consequences. Harris score at the last postoperative follow-up was (88.60±4.01) points, compared with the preoperative (47.20±11.77) points, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and VAS at the lateat postoperative follow-up was 1 (1) points, compared with the preoperative 8 (2) points, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the pain symptoms were relieved or disappeared, and the joint function was satisfactory. The imaging data of the latest follow-up showed joint was well pseudoradiated, no abnormal ossification occurred, and the prosthesis was not loose.@*CONCLUSION@#THA is effective in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture and can effectively improve the quality of life of patients. Preoperative comprehensive evaluation and bone defect evaluation of patients, and intraoperative management of acetabulum, femur, internal fixation and bone defect are key factors for the success of surgery.

@#Objective To retrospectively analyse the clinical characteristics of complex anal fistula and the distribution of TCM syndrome in infants and young children.Methods The clinical data of 118 children with complex anal fistula who were hospitalised in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 1 January 2019 to 1 January 2023 were retrospectively analysed for gender,age,fistula,internal and external orifices,and distribution of TCM syndrome.Results Totally 115 cases(97.5%)were male and 3 cases(2.5%)were female among the 118 cases,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);they occurred within 1 year of age;among them,there were 93 cases(78.8%)of low complex anal fistula,and 25 cases(21.2%)of high complex anal fistula;there were 2 fistulas(76.3%),followed by 3 fistulas(21.2%)and 4 fistulas(2.5%);the relationship between the number of internal and external orifices was dominated by external orifices = internal orifices(71.2%),and the internal and external orifices were mostly located at the 3 and 9 points(truncation);dampness-heat pouring downward was the most common syndrome(58.5%),followed by foetal toxin(23.7%),and spleen deficiency and dampness(17.8%).Conclusion Complex anal fistula in infants and young children occurred in male children less than 1 year old,and most of them were low complex anal fistula with two fistulas,and the internal and external orifices were mostly distributed in the 3 and 9 points(truncation),and dampness-heat pouring downward was the main TCM syndrome.
RESUMO
A 75-year-old male with a previous history of coronary artery bypass grafting (LITA-LAD, RITA-RA-4PD-14PL) was referred to our hospital for congestive heart failure. Cardiac workup revealed severe ischemic mitral regurgitation which required surgical correction. His preoperative coronary arterial computed tomography demonstrated total occlusion of both orifices of the native coronary arteries, and the complete dependence of his myocardial blood supply on the patent bypass grafts without any evidence of ischemia. Therefore, antegrade cardioplegia could not be applied for cardiac protection during the procedure. Continuous retrograde cardioplegia was planned to be applied in a case where both arterial grafts could be dissected and clamped whereas systemic hyperkalemia and mild hypothermia would be applied in case where the clamp would be impossible. Intraoperatively, both arterial grafts could be dissected and clamped and we performed mitral annuloplasty and tricuspid annuloplasty using continuous retrograde cardioplegia. The patient could be weaned off cardiopulmonary bypass without difficulty, and his postoperative course was uneventful. We conclude that continuous retrograde cardioplegia is a safe and viable option, especially when antegrade cardioplegia is not securely delivered due to an occluded coronary ostia.
RESUMO
@#Since the advent of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the selection of bypass conduits has always been one of the most controversial topics in this field. Arterial conduits have received extensive attention due to their excellent biological features and high patency. In recent years, the application of arterial grafting and total arterial grafting in China keeps increasing in recent years, but there is still a gap compared to the Europe and America. Previous clinical studies have indicated the benefits of the total arterial grafting in terms of patency and long-term outcomes, but the advantage of multiple arterial grafting over other procedures is still in need to be confirmed with high-quality randomized controlled trials. This article reviews the clinical application and strategy of total-arterial CABG, aiming to provide objective reference for future clinical research and application.
RESUMO
Cervical artery dissections (CAD) can occur spontaneously or as a direct result of significant trauma. Viral infections, such as SARS-CoV2, influenza, and Epstein Barr, are risk factors for spontaneous CAD. Dengue virus infections have dramatically increased in recent decades, and Brazil is one of the endemic areas. The dengue virus can cause headache and neurological complications such as encephalitis, myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myositis. No report has yet been found in the literature of dissection of the internal carotid artery secondary to dengue infection. Our objective is to report the case of a patient with dissection of the internal carotid artery associated with acute dengue virus infection.
As dissecções da artéria cervical (DAC) podem ocorrer espontaneamente ou como resultado direto de trauma significativo. Infecções virais, como SARS-CoV2, influenza e Epstein Barr, são fatores de risco para DAC espontânea. As infecções pelo vírus da dengue aumentaram dramaticamente nas últimas décadas, e o Brasil é uma das áreas endêmicas. O vírus da dengue pode causar dor de cabeça e complicações neurológicas como encefalite, mielite, síndrome de Guillain-Barré e miosite. Ainda não foi encontrado na literatura nenhum relato de dissecção da artéria carótida interna secundária à infecção por dengue. Nosso objetivo é relatar o caso de um paciente com dissecção da artéria carótida interna associada à infecção aguda pelo vírus da dengue.

Resumo Objetivo: compreender os processos de vulnerabilização enfrentados pelos trabalhadores-migrantes canavieiros diante do avanço da mecanização. Métodos: abordagem qualitativa pautada na abordagem metodológica da Reprodução Social da Saúde proposta por Juan Samaja, nas dimensões biocumunal, tecnoeconômica e política. Foram realizadas 18 entrevistas semiestruturadas com trabalhadores-migrantes canavieiros no período de abril de 2020 a dezembro de 2021. Resultados: na dimensão tecnoeconômica verificou-se que na usina A o trabalhador se tornou polivalente, com a presença do trabalho em equipe e a introdução de tecnologias para aumentar o controle do trabalho. Na usina B, os trabalhadores encontram piores condições de trabalho devido à irrigação, à irregularidade dos terrenos, à presença de pedras e à exposição às queimadas. Na dimensão biocomunal, foram identificados potencialização dos acidentes, uso de agrotóxicos, distúrbios hidroeletrolíticos e problemas cardiovasculares. Na dimensão política, foi observada a precariedade da assistência à saúde do trabalhador canavieiro. Conclusão: a intensificação da mecanização na colheita de cana-de-açúcar não melhorou as condições de trabalho dos cortadores, ao contrário, provocou a perpetuação de velhos e a inserção de novos processos de vulnerabilização.
Abstract Objective: to understand the processes of vulnerability faced by sugarcane migrant workers in the face of advancing mechanization. Methods: this study adopts a qualitative approach based on the biocommunity, techno-economic and political dimensions of the social reproduction of health proposed by Juan Samaja. In total, 18 semi-structured interviews were conducted with sugarcane migrant workers in the period from April 2020 to December 2021. Results: in the techno-economic dimension, it was found that in Mill A workers have become polyvalent, with the presence of teamwork and the introduction of technologies to increase work control. In Mill B, the workers identified worse working conditions due to irrigation, irregular terrain, rocky geography, and exposure to burnings. In the biocommunity dimension, the greater chance of accidents, the use of pesticides, hydroelectrolytic disorders and cardiovascular problems were identified. In the political dimension the precariousness of health care for sugarcane workers was identified. Conclusion: the intensification of mechanization in sugarcane harvesting has not improved the life of sugarcane workers, on the contrary, it has caused the perpetuation of old vulnerabilities and the insertion of new ones.
