RESUMO

In the last decades, antibiotic resistance has been considered a severe problem worldwide. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are molecules that have shown potential for the development of new drugs against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Nowadays, medicinal drug researchers use supervised learning methods to screen new peptides with antimicrobial potency to save time and resources. In this work, we consolidate a database with 15945 AMPs and 12535 non-AMPs taken as the base to train a pool of supervised learning models to recognize peptides with antimicrobial activity. Results show that the proposed tool (AmpClass) outperforms classical state-of-the-art prediction models and achieves similar results compared with deep learning models.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) can coexist with atrial fibrillation in up to 60 % of cases, increasing rates of hospitalizations and death. This study analyzed the clinical characteristics, treatment, hospitalization, and mortality of patients with HF and atrial fibrillation based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study included patients from an outpatient HF clinic at Medellín (Colombia) between 2020-2022. Patients were classified into two groups according to LVEF: reduced (LVEF≤40 %) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (LVEF>40 %). The evaluated outcomes were hospitalization and mortality during follow-up. Values for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), LVEF and functional class according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) were also analyzed at admission and during the last follow-up visit. RESULTS: The study included 185 patients, with 51.9% being male. The median age of the participants was 80 years (interquartile range [IQR] 74 - 86). There was an overall improvement in the NYHA functional class, BNP levels, and LVEF compared with the baseline values, irrespective of left systolic function. Atrial fibrillation ablation was performed in 3.2 % of patients, and cardiac device implantation with atrioventricular node ablation in 29 %. No statistically significant differences were found in terms of hospitalization and mortality regarding left systolic function. CONCLUSION: Compressive optimal treatment for patients with HF and atrial fibrillation requires pharmacological treatment, ablation strategies, cardiac devices, cardiovascular rehabilitation and close follow-up. In this cohort, hospitalization and mortality rates were similar according to LVEF categories and there was improvement in NYHA functional class and BNP level.

RESUMO

En este informe de caso clínico se muestra el tratamiento exitoso de un paciente con anodoncia parcial de órganos dentales 13 y 23 debido a que fueron extraídos por presentar impactación y mal pronóstico de tracción. En este artículo se presenta un paciente masculino de 29 años clase I esquelética con un perfil convexo, maloclusión de clase III, overjet disminuido, ausencia de guías funcionales, discrepancia oseodentaria positiva en arcada superior y negativa en arcada inferior. El tratamiento se realizó con extracciones de los órganos dentales 34 y 44 para nivelar las discrepancias óseo dentarias interarcadas, se llevó a cabo mediante un cierre de espacios recíproco por medio de cadenas elásticas para ambas arcadas, con lo que se logró crear un overjet y overbite adecuados. La creación de las guías caninas funcionales se consiguió mediante el cambio de morfología de los órganos dentales 14 y 24, los cuales fueron llevados a la posición de los caninos ausentes. El tiempo total de tratamiento para este paciente fue de 24 meses. Se realizaron ameloplastias positivas, la aplicación de agregados de resina para mejorar la funcionalidad y proveer salud articular. Se sugiere que ante casos de anodoncia de caninos en la arcada superior, un tratamiento favorable se puede llevar a cabo mediante el cierre de espacios, la caracterización morfológica de los caninos ausentes mediante ameloplastias positivas en premolares (AU)


This case report shows the successful treatment of a patient with partial anodontia of dental organs 13 and 23 because they have been extracted due to present impactation and poor traction prognosis. This article presents a 29-year-old male class I skeletal patient with convex profile, class III malocclusion, overjet reduction, absence of functional guidance, positive bone-teeth discrepancy in the upper arch and negative in the lower arch. The treatment was carried out with the extractions of the dental organs 34 and 44 for correcting oral dental discrepancies between upper and lower arches; it was done using reciprocal closing of spaces by using elastic chains for both arches in order to achieve a suitable overjet and overbite. The creation of the canine guides was achieved by changing the morphology of the dental organs 14 and 24, which were taken to the position of the absent canines. The total treatment timing for this patient was 24 months. Positive ameloplasties were performed by application of resin aggregates to improve functionality and provide joint health. A favorable treatment for these kinds of cases of canine anodontics in the upper arch is carried out by closing spaces and the morphological characterization of the absent canines by positive in-premolar ameloplasties (AU)

RESUMO

A continuación se presenta un caso de un paciente de 12 años de edad, con antecedente de bruxismo, con biotipo mesofacial, tercio inferior dolicofacial, hipertonicidad muscular en maseteros, cierre labial forzado con incompetencia labial de 4 milímetros con dolor en sinoviales anteriores inferiores. Los objetivos de tratamiento consistieron en lograr relajación muscular y promover un posicionamiento condilar ortopédicamente funcional y estable, realizar control vertical para disminuir gap interlabial, alinear líneas medias, mantener clase I molar bilateral, clase I canina bilateral y clase I incisiva, crear overjet y overbite adecuados, con recuperación estética y función del segmento anterior. Debido a eventos adversos durante la etapa de cierre de espacios, la clase molar y canina I no se logró, pero se aseguró mediante ameloplastias positivas la función y estética adecuadas para tener un tratamiento de ortodoncia estable a largo plazo (AU)


The following is a case of a 12-year-old patient, with a history of bruxism, with a mesofacial biotype, lower third of the facial area, muscular hypertonicity in the masseters, a forced labial closure with a 4-millimeter labial incompetence with pain in inferior anterior synoviums. Treatment objectives consisted of achieving muscle relaxation and promoting orthopedically functional and stable condylar positioning, perform vertical control to decrease interlabial gap, align midlines, maintain bilateral molar class I, bilateral canine class I and incisive class I, create adequate overjet and overbite, with aesthetic recovery and function of the anterior segment. Due to adverse events during the closing phase of spaces, the molar and canine I class was not achieved, but positive function and aesthetics were ensured by positive ameloplasties in order to have a long-term stable orthodontic treatment (AU)
