RESUMEN

Introducción: Las comunidades nativas forman uno de los grupos humanos más olvidados donde se reagudizan las inequidades y desigualdades en salud oral. Objetivo: Determinar el perfil clínico epidemiológico de salud oral en pobladores de las comunidades nativas de Potsoteni, Boca Sanibeni y Unión Puerto Ashaninka del distrito de Mazamari, provincia de Satipo, departamento de Junín, Perú. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo integrada por 169 adultos de las comunidades nativas, se tomaron en cuenta criterios de inclusión y exclusión, y se siguieron las normas éticas en investigación científica. Se evaluó la salud oral mediante una ficha epidemiológica con los indicadores: Índice CPOD, índice de significancia de caries dental (SIC), índice de higiene oral simplificado (IHO-S), índice de necesidad de prótesis dentales de la OMS, clasificación de maloclusión de Angle, índice de consecuencias clínicas de caries no tratadas (PUFA), la evaluación fue realizada con luz natural por observadores calibrados. Los datos se analizaron en el programa STATA v 14 mediante tablas de distribución de frecuencias y figura. Resultados: El 100 por ciento de los pacientes estudiados tenía caries dental (CPO-D = 13,23; SIC=19,01), IHO-S: 5,02 (DS=0,51), la mayoría presentó un tipo de maloclusión y consecuencias clínicas de caries no tratadas 116 (68,63 por ciento ) y 115 (68 por ciento ) respectivamente, la prótesis dental unitaria fue la que más se necesitó en ambos maxilares. Conclusiones: El estado de salud bucal fue preocupante, es necesario fomentar políticas que permitan un mejor acceso a los servicios de salud a fin de revertir estos indicadores(AU)

Introduction: Native communities are one of the most forgotten human groups where inequities and inequalities in oral health are exacerbated. Objective: To determine the epidemiological and clinical profile of oral health in residents of the native communities of Potsoteni, Boca Sanibeni and Union Puerto Ashaninka of Mazamari district, Satipo province, Junín department, Peru. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted. The sample consisted of 169 adults from native communities who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria, following the ethical norms in scientific research. Oral health was evaluated through an epidemiological fact sheet with the following indicators: DMFT index, Significant Caries Index (SCI), simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), prosthetic need WHO index, classification of Angle malocclusion, and index of clinical consequences of untreated dental caries (PUFA). The evaluation was made with natural light by calibrated observers. The data was analyzed in the STATA v 14 program by means of frequency and figure distribution tables. Results: It was determined that 100 percent of the patients studied had dental caries (DMFT = 13.23, SCI = 19.01), OHI-S: 5.02 (SD = 0.51), the majority of them presented a type of malocclusion and clinical consequences of untreated caries; 116 (68.63 percent) and 115 (68 percent), respectively. The unitary dental prosthesis was the most needed in both jaws. Conclusions: The state of oral health was worrisome; it is necessary to promote policies that allow better access to health services in order to revert these indicators(AU)

RESUMEN

The aim of this study was quantitative comparison between 68Ga-Gallgas positron emission tomography (PET) and 99mTc-Technegas single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for lung ventilation function assessment in patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive pulmonary disease and to identify image-derived texture features correlating to the physiologic parameters. Five patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with PET and SPECT lung ventilation scans were selected for this study. Threshold-based segmentations were used to compare ventilated regions between both imaging techniques. Histograms of both scans were compared to reveal main differences in distributions of radiotracers. Volumes of segmentation as well as 50 textural features measured in the pulmonary region were correlated to the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) as the relevant physiological variable. A better peripheral distribution of the radiotracer was observed in PET scans for three out of five patients. A segmentation threshold of 27% and 31% for normalized scans, for PET and SPECT respectively, was found optimal for volume correlation with FEV1. A high correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient >0.9) was found between 16 texture features measured from SPECT and 7 features measured from PET and FEV1. Quantitative measurements revealed different tracer distribution in both techniques. These results suggest that tracer distribution patterns may depend on the cause of the pulmonary obstruction. We found several texture features measured from SPECT to correlate to FEV1.

RESUMEN

Los parámetros hematológicos y bioquímicos sanguíneos son herramientas útiles en la clínica médica equina, pero su utilidad al servicio del Caballo Peruano de Paso es limitado ante la ausencia de valores de referencia. El estudio se realizó para determinar los valores hemato-bioquímicos en ejemplares aparentemente sanos. Se estudiaron 49 animales clasificados según sexo [machos (n=17) y hembras (n=30)] y edad [jóvenes (n=23) y adultos (n=26)]. El perfil hematológico (recuento total de eritrocitos, hematocrito, concentración de hemoglobina, volumen corpuscular medio, concentración de hemoglobina corpuscular media, recuento total de leucocitos, neutrófilos abastonados, neutrófilos segmentados, eosinófilos, monocitos, linfocitos, relación neutrófilo/linfocito y el recuento de plaquetas) y bioquímico (bilirrubina total, bilirrubina directa, bilirrubina indirecta, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT y CK) se estimaron mediante analizadores automáticos. Se determinó el efecto del sexo y la edad sobre los valores obtenidos. El sexo influyó significativamente el recuento de monocitos y la actividad de la enzima CK, y la edad afectó la concentración de hemoglobina, volumen corpuscular medio, concentración de hemoglobina corpuscular media, linfocitos, relación neutrófilo/linfocito, ALT, AST, bilirrubina total y bilirrubina indirecta (p<0.05).

The hematological and blood biochemical parameters are useful tools for equine medical practice but their usefulness for the Peruvian Paso Horse is limited by the absence of reference values. The present study was conducted to determine hemato-biochemical values in apparently healthy horses. Forty nine animals were evaluated and they were classified according to sex [males (n=17), females (n=30)] and age [young (n=23), adults (n=26)]. The hematological (red blood cell count, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, band neutrophils, segmented neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet count) and the biochemical (total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT and CK) profiles were estimated by means of automated analyzers. The effect of sex and age was evaluated. Sex influenced the number of monocytes and CK activity, and age influenced hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, lymphocytes, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, ALT, AST, total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin (p<0.05).
