RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Children on long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) are at high risk of iodine deficiency (ID). However, most available information comes from cross-sectional studies. We investigated the iodine status, associated factors, and prevalence of hypothyroidism in children with intestinal failure (IF) who were followed up longitudinally. METHODS: This was a cohort study of children with IF monitored for urine iodine concentration (UIC), iodine intake, serum selenium concentration, and thyroid function in an intestinal rehabilitation program. The outcome variable ID was defined as a UIC value < 100 µg/L. Adjusted generalized estimating equations were used to assess the effects of the exposure variables on the UIC. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients aged 62.7 (39.1; 79.7) months who received PN for 46.5 (21.5) months were included. The average energy supply was 81.2 kcal/kg/day, 77.6% of which was provided by PN. An average of 5.2 UIC measurements per patient were performed. ID prevalence decreased from baseline (83.3%) to the last assessment (45.8%). Three patients had hypothyroidism secondary to iodine and selenium combined severe deficiency. Iodine intake from enteral or oral nutritional formulas was positively associated with UIC (ß = 0.71 [0.35, 1.07]; p < 0.001). Meeting approximately 80% of the estimated average requirement for iodine from nutritional formulas resulted in a greater probability of normal UIC values. CONCLUSION: ID is highly prevalent in children with IF who receive long-term PN and its frequency decreases with iodine intake from nutritional formulas. Severe combined iodine and selenium deficiencies are associated with the development of hypothyroidism in these patients.

RESUMO

Investigation of the endophytic fungi Nigrospora sphaerica, Nigrospora oryzae, and Pseudofusicoccum stromaticum MeOH fractions isolated from the leaves of Vochysia divergens, a medicinal species from the Brazilian Pantanal, led to the identification of five compounds, namely a new compound (1E,8Z)-10,11-dihydroxy-5,5,8-trimethyl-4-oxocycloundeca-1,8-diene-1-carbaldehyde (1) and four known compounds: 5-methylmellein (2), sclerone (3), daldinone A (4), and lasiodiplodin (5). All compounds were identified using spectroscopic methods, and 1 was corroborated with mass spectrometry, while the known compounds were compared with data in the literature. The relative configuration of compound 1 was determined based on theoretical conformational studies as well as the J experimental values between the hydroxymethyne hydrogens. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was evaluated. Promising results were obtained for compounds 2, 4, and 5 since they inhibited the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, suggesting the potential of these microorganisms as a source of new antibacterial agents.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the perception of parents or caregivers regarding the need for dental appointments for adolescents aged 12-13 years and associated factors. METHODS: Data from the Pelotas 2004 Birth Cohort were used. The outcome variable was the need for dental appointments for young adolescents perceived by parents or caregivers. Demographic and economic exposure variables were obtained from the first (2004) and sixth general follow-up (2015), respectively. The exposure variables 'previous history of dental pain', 'self-rated oral health', clinical variables and the outcome variable were obtained from the second oral health follow-up (2017). Unadjusted and adjusted multivariate Poisson regression analyses provided prevalence ratios (PR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: At the first oral health follow-up (2009), 1303 five-year-old children were recruited, 996 of whom were reassessed and underwent oral health examinations at 12 and 13 years of age (response rate: 76.4%). The findings showed that 72.4% of parents/caregivers perceived that the adolescents needed dental appointments. No associations were found between the outcome and sociodemographic or economic variables. After adjustments, the outcome remained positively associated with previous history of toothache (PR 1.22; 95% CI 1.14-1.32), self-rated oral health as fair or poor (PR 1.26; 95% CI 1.15-1.39), the presence of dental caries (PR 1.27; 95% CI 1.20-1.38) and severe or disabling malocclusion (PR 1.14; 95% CI 1.05-1.25). CONCLUSIONS: The perception of parents/caregivers regarding the need for dental appointments on the part of their adolescent sons and daughters was associated with oral health problems, and these findings can serve as the basis for creating and improving oral health programmes that seek a better understanding on the part of parents and caregivers regarding the importance of integral care for their adolescent children.

RESUMO

Aim: The aim of this literature review is to describe the latest treatment available in the solution of this problem through remineralization. Literature review: A literature review was carried out in various electronic databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO, LILACS, EMBASE, Cochrane Library; from 1989 to 2022. The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms used in the literature search were in English: "tooth reminaralization", "dental white spot", "orthodontic. Discussion: White spot lesions after orthodontic appliances is an undesired effect seen in dentistry. There is a wide option of agents that offer remineralization by the process of depositing calcium and phosphate ions into crystal voids in demineralized enamel, producing net mineral gain and preventing early enamel lesions progression, including fluoride toothpastes, fluoride varnishes, fluoride mouth rinses, and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). Conclusion: Fluoride-based prevention strategies are the agent with the strongest evidence for the treatment of WSL. The dental professional should offer this therapy in the earliest phase of the lesions so that it can be remineralized.

RESUMO

Early stages of cervical cancer in young women need conservative treatments. Electrosurgical therapies (LLETZ, LEEP, SWETZ, NETZ) have been recommended for these women. However, there are recommendations to perform a second excision when the specimen margins are not free of disease. This can lead to some important complications. This article aims to verify the frequency of residual invasive or microinvasive disease after the excisional procedure in women with IA1CC. Data on women with IA1CC diagnosed between 1990 and 2022, were retrieved from medical records. Post-treatment disease was detected during a second surgical procedure or postoperative follow-up. Among the 69 included women, three (4.3 percent; CI95 percent 0-9.2) had residual microinvasive lesions, while none showed invasive disease during a second procedure or follow-up. Only the age of 37 years or more was significantly related to the presence of preinvasive or microinvasive residual lesions. Nearly 80 percent of the women who underwent a second procedure showed no residual lesions. The absence of invasive disease in a second procedure or during the follow-up of these women and the large proportion of women with no residual lesion questions the need for a new surgical procedure even when the surgical margins of the initial specimen are involved.

RESUMO

Central nervous system (CNS) infections including meningitis and encephalitis, resulting from the blood-borne spread of specific microorganisms, provoke nervous tissue damage due to the inflammatory process. Moreover, different pathologies such as sepsis can generate systemic inflammation. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces the release of inflammatory mediators and damage molecules, which are then released into the bloodstream and can interact with structures such as the CNS, thus modifying the blood-brain barrier's (BBB´s) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier´s (BCSFB´s) function and inducing aseptic neuroinflammation. During neuroinflammation, the participation of glial cells (astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes) plays an important role. They release cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species, nitrogen species, peptides, and even excitatory amino acids that lead to neuronal damage. The neurons undergo morphological and functional changes that could initiate functional alterations to neurodegenerative processes. The present work aims to explain these processes and the pathophysiological interactions involved in CNS damage in the absence of microbes or inflammatory cells.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon cause of cerebrovascular disease, which has been increasing worldwide. In Colombia, there are not enough recent studies that allow us to determine epidemiological characteristics of the disease in our population to identify more frequent risk factors and complications according to our living conditions. OBJETIVE: To describe clinical, demographic, and radiographic characteristics, and risk factors in a cohort of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis attended at two hospitals in Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective descriptive study with patients treated in the hospitalization neurology service of two hospitals in Bogotá, Colombia from December 2018 to December 2020. RESULTS: Thirty-three patients were included. There was a higher incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis in women of childbearing age in the puerperium (n=7; 33.3%) and associated with autoimmune diseases (n=10; 30.3%). The most common initial symptom was headache (n=31; 93.9 %), followed by neurological focal signs (n=9; 27.2%) and seizures (n=8; 24.2%). Fifty-one percent (n=17) of the patients had a normal physical examination. Cerebral venous infarction occurred in 21.1 % (n=7), subarachnoid hemorrhage in 12.1 % (n=4), and intraparenchymal hematoma in 9 % (n=3) of all the patients. Sixty-point six percent (n=20) of the patients had a total independent Barthel functional scale. None of those died. CONCLUSIONS: We found similar sociodemographic, clinical, and radiography characteristics to those reported in the world literature. Regarding the differences, deep cerebral venous circulation was higher than that described in previous studies but without complications increase or mortality.

Introducción: La trombosis venosa cerebral es una causa infrecuente de enfermedad cerebrovascular que viene en aumento a nivel mundial. A pesar de ello, actualmente, en Colombia no se cuenta con estudios suficientes que nos permitan caracterizar epidemiológicamente la enfermedad en nuestra población para identificar los factores de riesgo y las complicaciones más frecuentes en nuestro medio. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas, demográficas y radiológicas, y los factores de riesgo de una serie de pacientes con trombosis venosa cerebral de dos hospitales de Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Es un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de pacientes hospitalizados, atendidos en el servicio de neurología de dos hospitales de Bogotá desde diciembre de 2018 hasta diciembre del 2020. Resultados: Se incluyeron 33 pacientes. Las frecuencias más altas correspondieron a mujeres en edad fértil, en puerperio (n=7; 33,3 %) y pacientes con patologías autoinmunes (n=10; 30,3 %). El síntoma inicial más común fue la cefalea (n=31; 93,9 %), seguido de focalización neurológica (n=9; 27,2%) y crisis epiléptica (n=8; 24,2 %). El 51 % (n=17) de los pacientes tuvo un examen físico normal. El infarto venoso cerebral se presentó en el 21,1 % (n=7), la hemorragia subaracnoidea en el 12,1 % (n=4) y el hematoma intraparenquimatoso en el 9 % (n=3) del total de pacientes. El 60,6 % (n=20) quedó con nivel independiente en la escala funcional de Barthel. Ningún paciente falleció. Conclusiones: Se encontraron características sociodemográficas, clínicas y radiológicas similares a lo reportado en la literatura mundial. Con respecto a las diferencias, se encontró en nuestro estudio compromiso de la circulación venosa cerebral profunda en un porcentaje ligeramente mayor a lo descrito, pero sin aumento de complicaciones, ni mortalidad.

RESUMO

Therapeutic options for incisors affected by Molar Incisor Hypomineralization range from very conservative procedures to those considered to be more invasive. Clinicians must select the appropriate approach, considering the outcomes of the procedures. This case series presents clinical outcomes of five female patients with aesthetic complaints associated with the Molar Incisor Hipomineralization. Macroabrasion, microabrasion and dental vital bleaching were used as combination techniques in three cases. Resin infiltration was indicated for a specific case, considering the oncoming orthodontic treatment. Composite restoration was performed in one patient with posteruptive enamel breakdown. Clinicians must select the appropriate approach according to an individualized evaluation of each case, considering factors such as the patient's expectations, dental age, psychosocial period, the severity of the condition, presence of sensitivity and the presumed aesthetic result of the selected treatment. The advantages and disadvantages of the techniques are presented.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We estimated cancer mortality statistics for the current year in seven major Latin American countries. METHODS: We retrieved official death certification data and population figures from the WHO and the United Nations databases for the 1970-2020 calendar period. We considered mortality from all neoplasms combined and for 10 major cancer sites. We estimated the number of deaths and age-standardized mortality rates for the year 2023. RESULTS: Age-standardized mortality rates for all cancers combined are predicted to decline in all countries, in both sexes, apart from Venezuelan women. The lowest predicted total cancer mortality rates are in Mexico, 69.8/100 000 men and 62.5/100 000 women. The highest rates are in Cuba with 133.4/100 000 men and 90.2/100 000 women. Stomach cancer is predicted to decline steadily in all countries considered, but remains the first-ranking site for men in Chile (14.3/100 000) and Colombia (11/100 000). Colorectal cancer rates also tended to decline but remain comparatively high in Argentina (14/100 000 men). Breast cancer rates were high in Argentinian women (16.5/100 000) though they tended to decline in all countries. Lung cancer mortality rates are also predicted to decline, however, rates remain exceedingly high in Cuba (30.5/100 000 men and 17.2/100 000 women) as opposed to Mexico (5.6/100 000 men and 3.2/10 000 women). Declines are also projected for cancer of the uterus, but rates remain high, particularly in Argentina and Cuba (10/100 000 women), and Venezuela (13/100 000 women) due to inadequate screening and cervical cancer control. CONCLUSION: Certified cancer mortality remains generally lower in Latin America (apart from Cuba), as compared to North America and Europe; this may be partly due to death certification validity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to characterize child sexual abuse and investigate the factors related to its repetition in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. METHODS: This is a descriptive and analytical study, with data from 2009-2019 SINAN. Sociodemographic variables related to the circumstances of violence were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to test factors related to repetitive violence. RESULTS: A total of 3489 cases of child sexual abuse were reported: 73.3% were girls, the most prevalent age ranged from 6 to 10 years, and 51% reported repetitive violence. The majority was perpetrated by one (85.6%) person, and in cases in which two or more perpetrators were involved, the proportion of occurrence was higher for boys (17%) versus girls (13%). Among the risk factors for the repetition of sexual violence are the place of occurrence being the residence, the perpetrator (the stepfather, the brother, and the father) being under the influence of alcohol, and the age of the child between 6 and 10 years. CONCLUSION: The profile and factors that help in the identification of repetitive child sexual abuse were presented, such as the authorship being related to stepfathers, parents, and siblings, the perpetrator being under the influence of alcohol, and the victim's age between 6 and 10 years.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and dental caries in adolescents. METHODS: Data from 996 adolescents aged 12-13 years who participated in an oral health sub-study of the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort in southern Brazil were analysed. The main exposure was daily UPF consumption at age 10-11 years, measured by a food frequency questionnaire containing 24 UPF items defined based on the NOVA system. UPF consumption was calculated in frequency, grams and calories, in general and for six types of food (biscuits, savoury snacks and sugar-sweetened cereals; ultra-processed meats and fats; sweets; fast food and instant noodles; soft drinks and artificially flavoured drinks; and sweetened milk and powdered chocolate). The outcome was dental caries, measured according to the decayed, missing and filled indexes (DMFS and dmfs) at age 12-13 years. Poisson regression models were used to analyse the association between UPF consumption and dental caries, adjusting for socioeconomic and demographic variables, dental visits and oral hygiene. RESULTS: Overall, the daily UPF consumption in frequency, grams and calories was associated with caries. The findings were consistent for UPF consumption for all six food groups. The higher the UPF consumption, the higher the probability of having caries in adolescence. The associations between ultra-processed meats and fats, and fast food and instant noodles intake with dental caries alert to the cariogenic potential of such UPF foods. CONCLUSION: Ultra-processed food consumption was associated with greater caries burdens in young adolescents. The findings reinforce the need for interventions and public policies to reduce UPF consumption in adolescence.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Most data on anemia in children with intestinal failure (IF) have been obtained from studies in which the data were collected at a single point in time. We aimed to identify the frequency of anemia and factors associated with hemoglobin levels in children with IF during their course of home parenteral nutrition. METHODS: We performed a longitudinal cohort study of patients with IF followed up at a pediatric intestinal rehabilitation center. Outcome variables were hemoglobin levels and prevalence of anemia during the follow-up period. The exposure variables were age, duration of parenteral nutrition, chronic disease, and serum concentrations of C-reactive protein, iron, copper, selenium, vitamins A, D, B12 , and folic acid. RESULTS: Twenty-five children with a median time of receiving parenteral nutrition of 40.7 months were included. A median (and interquartile range) of 40.7 (25.2-58) hemoglobin measurements were performed per patient. Mean (SD) hemoglobin was 10.7 (1.8) g/dL at baseline and 11.6 (0.9) g/dL in the last observation (paired t test, P = 0.07); 32% of patients had mean hemoglobin values below the lower limit for age. In a multivariable predictive model, having C-reactive protein >1 mg/dL was associated with a decrease of 0.57 g/dL in hemoglobin (95% CI, -0.90 to -0.24, P = 0.01), and an increase of 1 mg/L in vitamin A concentration was associated with the increase of 0.93 g/dL in Hb level (95% CI, 0.24-1.61; P = 0.008). CONCLUSION: Anemia affects almost one-third of children with IF and its frequency decreases during the follow-up period. Hemoglobin levels are associated with inflammatory response and serum micronutrient concentrations.

RESUMO

Aim: To describe the oral finding, physical features and medical features with the genetic diagnosis of a Pentasomy X. Case report: A 6-year-old female patient was referred for oral evaluation presenting acute pain related to ulcers in the attached gingival and dorsum of tongue mucosa. Medical history revealed Pentasomy X associated with interatrial communication, convergent strabismus, recurrent seizures, dysautonomia, episodes of thrombosis and cognitive delay with limited oral communication skills. A palliative oral treatment was applied. Oral hygiene improvement and surveillance were decided considering the absence of dental hypersensitivity, post eruptive enamel breakdowns or dental caries. Less than 30 cases had been reported in the literature, reflecting the rare nature of this genetic disorder and with great difficulties to perform dental treatment. As regards the oral health status of these patients, with an emphasis on dental care, information is totally lacking. Conclusion: Oral care in patients with genetic syndromes must consider the status in general health to prevent medical complications associated with oral disease or dental treatment. Minimal intervention and surveillance are appropriate options in customized therapy.

Objetivo: Describir los hallazgos orales, características físicas y médicas con el diagnóstico genético de una pentasomía X. Reporte de caso: Paciente de 6 años remitida para evaluación bucal por presentar dolor agudo relacionado con úlceras en la encía adherida y dorso de la lengua. La historia clínica reveló pentasomía X asociada con comunicación interauricular, estrabismo convergente, convulsiones recurrentes, disautonomía, episodios de trombosis y retraso cognitivo con habilidades limitadas de comunicación oral. Se aplicó un tratamiento oral paliativo. Se decidió la mejora de la higiene oral y la vigilancia considerando la ausencia de hipersensibilidad dental, fracturas de esmalte poseruptivas o caries dental. Se han reportado menos de 30 casos en la literatura, lo que refleja la naturaleza rara de este trastorno genético y con grandes dificultades para realizar el tratamiento odontológico. En cuanto al estado de salud bucal de estos pacientes, con énfasis en el cuidado dental, la información es poca. Conclusión: El cuidado bucal en pacientes con síndromes genéticos debe considerar el estado de salud general para prevenir complicaciones médicas asociadas con enfermedades bucales o tratamientos odontológicos. La intervención mínima y la vigilancia son opciones apropiadas en la terapia personalizada.

RESUMO

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation, causing pain and stiffness in the joints. SARS-CoV-2 increases the clinical vulnerability of the population with RA and has led to the implementation and/or development of telemedicine. Objective: To describe changes in level of therapeutic adherence, quality of life and capacity for self-care agency, during the follow-up period of a group of patients linked to a non-face-to-face multidisciplinary consultation model during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methodology: Descriptive cohort study (July to October 2020). Description of the level of therapeutic adherence (Morisky Green Test), quality of life (EuroQOL-5-Dimensions-3-Level-version) and self-care capacity (ASA-R Scale) in the context of a telehealth model. A univariate and bivariate analysis was performed (Stata Software, Considered p-value <0.05). Results: Of 71 patients treated under the telehealth model, 85.9% were women, the age range was between 33 and 86 years with a median of 63. The most prevalent comorbidity was arterial hypertension (35.2%). Quality of life did not change during follow-up nor did adherence to treatment, apart from in one item [the patients did not stop taking the medication when they were well (p = 0.029)]. In self-care capacity, there were significant improvements in five dimensions (p < 0.05), without significant differences in the global score. Conclusion: Patients with RA evaluated in the context of telehealth in a period of pandemic did not present significant changes in quality of life, adherence to treatment, or capacity for self-care, and remained close to baseline values when they attended a traditional face-to-face assessment.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La artritis reumatoide (AR) es una enfermedad autoinmune caracterizada por una inflamación crónica que produce dolor y rigidez articular. El SARS-CoV-2 aumenta la vulnerabilidad clínica en pacientes con AR, lo que ha conllevado la implementación o el desarrollo de la telesalud. OBJETIVO: Describir los cambios en el nivel de adherencia terapéutica, la calidad de vida y la capacidad de autocuidado durante el periodo de seguimiento, en un grupo de pacientes con AR vinculados con un modelo de consulta multidisciplinar no presencial, en el curso de la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio de cohorte descriptiva (julio a octubre del 2020). Descripción del nivel de adherencia terapéutica (TEST MORISKY GREEN), calidad de vida (EUROQOL-5-DIMENSIONS-3-LEVEL-VERSION) y capacidad de autocuidado (Escala ASA-R) en el contexto de un modelo de telesalud. Se realizó análisis univariado y bivariado (SOFTWARE Stata®, valor de p considerado <0,05). RESULTADOS: De 71 pacientes atendidos en modalidad de telesalud, el 85,9% fueron mujeres, la mediana de la edad fue de 63 (33-86) anos. La comorbilidad más prevalente fue la hipertensión (35,2%). La calidad de vida no tuvo cambios durante el seguimiento, al igual que la adherencia al tratamiento, excepto en uno de los ítems (los pacientes no dejaron de tomar la medicación cuando se encontraban bien; p = 0,029). En la capacidad de autocuidado hubo mejoras significativas en 5 dimensiones (p < 0,05), sin diferencias significativas en el puntaje global. CONCLUSIÓN: Los pacientes con AR evaluados en el contexto de la telesalud, en un periodo de pandemia, no presentaron cambios significativos en la calidad de vida, la adherencia al tratamiento y la capacidad de autocuidado; se mantuvieron en niveles similares a los valores basales cuando asistían a valoración tradicional presencial.

RESUMO

Introduction: Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects structures derived from ectoderm such as teeth, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Oligodontia is a common finding that affects the chewing, smiling and self- esteem of these pediatric patients. Case Report: We present a case report of a 7-years-old pediatric patient who consulted with his mother, showing the same condition. The intervention consisted of a removable prosthesis with satisfactory results. Conclusion: The X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia represents a challenge for a pediatric dentist who offers rehabilitation to the patient according to craniofacial development, age, socioeconomic status, and the number of missing teeth.

Introducción: La oligodoncia es un hallazgo común que afecta la masticación, la sonrisa y la autoestima de estos pacientes pediátricos. Case Report: Presentamos un reporte de caso de un paciente pediátrico de 7 años que consultó con su madre presentando la misma condición. La intervención consistió en una prótesis de remoción con resultados satisfactorios. Conclusión: La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica ligada al cromosoma X representa un desafío para un odontopediatra que ofrece rehabilitación al paciente de acuerdo con el desarrollo craneofacial, la edad, el nivel socioeconómico y el número de dientes faltantes.
