RESUMO

PURPOSE: The present study aimed to assess whether there was an increase in physical aggression in women treated in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, through the mandatory quarantine. METHODS: Data from a cross-sectional study were collected and analyzed, from March 1 to December 31, 2020. Additionally, data from the same period the previous year were collected for comparison. RESULTS: Of the etiologies reviewed for 2020, physical aggression had the highest percentage increase (+ 4.9%) and was the only etiology that showed a significant difference (p = 0.045). The mean age of the included patients was 34.05 years in 2019 and 33.97 in 2020, and most of the women had facial fractures, with nasal fractures being the most frequent, followed by jaw fractures. There was a significant increase (p = 0.34) in the conservative treatment of fractures from 2019 (48.6%) to 2020 (71.7%) and a minor (p = 0.088) increase in aggression toward intimate partners (2019, 40.9%; 2020, 63.9%). CONCLUSION: Physical aggression against women increased during the period of mandatory social isolation that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Health professionals, including emergency services professionals, must be trained to identify victims and refer them to specialized care.

RESUMO

Erythema multiforme (EM) is a mucocutaneous condition of uncertain etiology, although the hypersensitivity reaction to a wide variety of agents may be related to the onset of the lesions. In about half of the affected patients it is possible to identify a previous infection. This article aims to report a case of EM in the oralmucosa after qHPV vaccine (Gardasil®), to highlight the diagnostic process and the proposed treatment. Female patient, 16 years old, after 10 days of receiving the first dose of the qHPV vaccine. On physical examination, she presented multiple ulcers and hemorrhagic crusts to the touch, based on the clinical picture and the history of the disease, a diagnostic hypothesis was EM. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was chosen as an alternative treatment, since the exercises applied were not successful. The patient was followed up, reported decreased pain and burn and, after one year of treatment, there was no recurrence of the lesions. Laser treatment showed an effective treatment alternative, in addition to the low cost and ease of application.

El eritema multiforme (EM) es una afección mucocutánea de etiología incierta, aunque la reacción de hipersensibilidad a una amplia variedad de agentes puede estar relacionada con la aparición de las lesiones. En aproximadamente la mitad de los pacientes afectados es posible identificar una infección previa. Este artículo tiene como objetivo informar un caso de EM en la mucosa oral después de la vacuna qHPV (Gardasil®), para resaltar el proceso de diagnóstico y el tratamiento propuesto. Paciente de 16 años, después de 10 días de recibir la primera dosis de la vacuna qHPV. En el examen físico, presentó múltiples úlceras y costras hemorrágicas al tacto, según el cuadro clínico y la historia de la enfermedad, una hipótesis diagnóstica fue EM. La terapia con láser de baja potencia (TLBP) se eligió como un tratamiento alternativo, ya que los ejercicios aplicados no tuvieron éxito. La paciente fue seguida, informó disminución del dolor y las quemaduras y, después de un año de tratamiento, no hubo recurrencia de las lesiones. El tratamiento con láser mostró una alternativa de tratamiento efectivo, además del bajo costo y la facilidad de aplicación.

Introdução: O queratocisto odontogênico é uma lesão cística intra-óssea que se origina do resto celular da lâmina dentária. Possui crescimento lento, assintomático e é comumente encontrado em radiografias de rotina. É mais prevalente no sexo masculino entre a 2ª e 3ª décadas de vida e acomete preferencialmente a mandíbula. Objetivo: relatar um caso de queratocisto em região anterior da maxila e realizar uma revisão dos tratamentos que estão disponíveis para essa lesão.

Após análise histopatológica e confirmação diagnóstica, a paciente foi submetida a enucleação cirúrgica. Conclusão: o paciente permanece em acompanhamento há 3 anos sem sinais clínicos ou radiográficos de recidiva da lesão.

RESUMO

Hemangioma é uma neoplasia benigna de origem vascular comum, embora assintomática, pode causar compressão de estruturas vizinhas, ulcerações ou sangramentos. Na boca, os locais mais afetados por essa alteração patológica são a língua, os lábios e a mucosa jugal. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de hemangioma em lábio, ressaltar os aspectos clínicos e o tratamento de escolha. Paciente AJF, 59 anos, sexo masculino, apresentou-se à Clínica de Estomatologia da FAESA com um nódulo em lábio superior do lado esquerdo de superfície lisa e consistência amolecida. O exame de diascopia positivo evidenciou uma leve palidez na coloração arroxeada da lesão e a hipótese diagnóstica foi de hemangioma. Dentre as possíveis alternativas de tratamento, optou-se pelo uso de agente esclerosante devido ao seu baixo custo, sua eficiência e seu resultado clínico esteticamente favorável. O paciente segue em proservação sem necessidade de uma nova intervenção e satisfeito com o resultado estético (AU).

Hemangioma is a benign neoplasm of common vascular origin that, although asymptomatic, may cause compression of neighboring structures, ulcerations or bleeding. In the mouth, the sites most affected by this pathological alteration are the tongue, the lips, and the jugal mucosa. The objective of this paper is to report a clinical case of hemangioma, to highlight the clinical aspects and treatment of choice. Patient AJF, 59- year-old, male, came to the Stomatology Clinic of FAESA with a nodule on the left side of the upper lip of smooth surface and softened consistency. The positive diascopy showed a slight pallor in the lesion purple coloration and the diagnostic hypothesis was hemangioma. Among the possible treatment alternatives, the use of sclerosing agent was chosen due to its low cost, efficiency and aesthetically favorable clinical result. The patient is still in proservation without the need of a new intervention and satisfied with the aesthetic result (AU).
