    Get PDF
    The utilization of both systemic and topical treatments in dermatology with the expectation that their combination will enhance attributed benefits and provide preventive dermatology has gained interest. In order to identify effective combined treatments for skin aging, a systematic review was conducted (clinical trials), which comprehensively searched the Capes Journal Portal of E-Journals. Out of the 4543 articles evaluated, only 24 were deemed eligible for final analysis. The findings were characterized as clinical studies that evaluated various combinations of treatments. It was concluded that the efficacy of collagen peptides, antioxidants, moisturizers, and lifestyle changes in mitigating skin aging resulted in improvements in the firmness, elasticity, hydration, and antioxidant protection of human skin

    Background: Septic shock is commonly diagnosed in critically ill patients and is an important cause of mortality. Techniques used to assess fluid responsiveness and hemodynamic profile with physical examination and central venous pressure have been shown to be insufficient. Thus, the importance of other methods, such as bedside ultrasound (POCUS), is evident. The aim of this study was to analyze patients with septic shock who developed left ventricular dysfunction by POCUS. Methods: Prospective study involving 14 patients diagnosed with septic shock, over 18 years old, without previous cardiac pathologies. Clinical, laboratory and imaging data were collected. POCUS was applied by a cardiology resident; the results were compared with those found by an echocardiographer. Results: Variables were compared between patients with normal and depressed ventricular function (VF). Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower in patients with depressed VF (p = 0.01). Vasopressor drug dose and Pro-BNP value were significantly higher in patients with depressed VF (p = 0.01). Regarding the POCUS inter-rater comparison, the variables of left ventricular global systolic function, vena cava index and presence of B line were significantly concordant (p= 0.02; 0.003; 0.002). Conclusions: Patients with depressed VF had a greater severity of shock, suggesting refractoriness, with cardiac dysfunction as a possible aggravating factor, which was visualized only by POCUS and corroborated by higher Pro-BNP values. A short POCUS training is enough for the non-specialist physician to be able to use this resource in the management of these patients.Background: Septic shock is commonly diagnosed in critically ill patients and is an important cause of mortality.

    Get PDF
    Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It represents a significant infection in South America, occurring mainly in tropical and subtropical countries such as Brazil. Oral mucosal lesions, which are the most important symptom in dentistry, may be the first visible physical manifestation of the disease, often preceding even pulmonary lesions. This study aims to carry out an integrative literature review to identify the main epidemiological aspects and oral implications of Paracoccidioidomycosis (PMC) infection. A search was carried out in the PubMed, LILACS and SciELO databases and, after applying the inclusion, exclusion, eligibility and thematic relevance criteria, 18 articles were selected for analysis in this study. Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is endemic in Brazil and mainly affects middle-aged and elderly men and occurs in rural areas. It is a systemic disease where clinical manifestations are often added to oral lesions. Dentists play a key role in identifying these lesions, in the correct diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Making PCM notification compulsory in Brazil is essential.Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

    Consensus of the Amapá society of implantodontics on the criteria for choosing a bone graft.

    Get PDF
    A bone graft may be used in a variety of clinically practiced implant surgeries, namely, guided bone regeneration, extraction socket preservation or reconstruction, ridge augmentation, and sinus membrane elevation. The bone graft is of various types depending on the material, for instance, autogenous bone graft, allograft, xenograft, alloplastic graft, and autogenous bone graft with demineralized dentin matrix, which may be used alone or with other materials. Bioactive agents that promote bone formation, such as recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), have been shown to exhibit a clinically beneficial effect on bone regeneration. Here, we intend to present surgical guidelines for bone grafts and criteria for selection of bone graft materials by referring to evidence-based studies and recent lectures on the subject of ‘bone grafts for implant dentistry’ at the Amapá society of implantodontics, 2020.A bone graft may be used in a variety of clinically practiced implant surgeries, namely, guided bone regeneration, extraction socket preservation or reconstruction, ridge augmentation, and sinus membrane elevation.

    ABSTRACT Introduction: The predictability of osseointegration depends on a non-traumatic surgical technique that maintains cell viability. It is known that during the drilling osteotomy for implant placement occurs heat generation, being able to influence osseointegration due to thermal damage. The objective of this research was to evaluate and compare the heat generated by the drills during the preparation of surgical sites for implant placement between two different techniques: simplified (Simplified Drilling, SD) and conventional, in an in vitro model. Material and methods: Fifty implant site preparations were performed in segments of bovine ribs, divided into two groups, with the respective drill sequences: control group, conventional preparation, Ø2.0mm spear drill and Ø2.15mm, Ø2.85mm, Ø3.35mm, Ø3.85mm twist drills; SD group, Ø2.15mm and Ø3.85mm twist drills. The measurement of the temperature variation generated by each drill in each group was performed by an infrared thermal camera at three points in the bovine rib segment. Results: The temperature variations at one and thirteen millimeters below the drilling site were, respectively, 0.51±0.64°C and 0.46±0.59°C for the control group, and 0.62±0.76°C and 0.5±0.86°C for the SD group. No statistically significant differences were found between the control and SD groups in relation to heat generation in any of the evaluated points; p=0.288 and p=0.584, respectively for analyzes one and thirteen millimeters below the drilling site. Discussion: The technique of implant site preparation can be simplified, using only two drills in this modality, without showing significant differences in relation to heat generation when compared to the conventional preparation technique

    Current concept of the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis and the role of bactéria.

    Get PDF
    Through an extensive review of the literature, our objective will be to clarify the current concept that exists about the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis, as well as the implications that bacteria may have on it. To date, different longitudinal and cross-sectional studies have identified some of the risk factors or risk indicators of peri-implantitis. Previous history of periodontal disease, diabetes, genetic load, poor oral hygiene, tobacco, alcohol consumption, absence of keratinized gingiva and the surface of the implants are some of the factors that have been analyzed in detail in the literature. The colonization of new surgically implanted surfaces represents a risk situation in partially edentulous patients, where periodontopathogenic bacteria from the residual bag play an important role.Through an extensive review of the literature, our objective will be to clarify the current concept that exists about the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis, as well as the implications that bacteria may have on it.

    Newborns birth prematurely correspond to births with less than 37 weeks of gestation. There are some characteristics intrinsic to the premature ones that act in the Stomatognathic System, triggering the malocclusion. The objective of this article was to investigate the influences that prematurity at birth can generate in a dental environment, more specifically, triggering malocclusion. We searched the databases: Google Scholar and PubMED. In Google Scholar we used the search term: premature birth and malocclusion and dentistry and 2014 and 2015 and 2016 and 2017 and 2018. In PubMED we used the search expression: malocclusion and dentistry and born preterm. It was concluded that, in order to avoid malocclusion, methods of preventive approach in preterm births are necessary to enable adequate growth and development of the stomatognathic system. The encouragement of breastfeeding is related to the influence of breastfeeding, since if it does not occur it can lead to changes in the stomatognathic system.Newborns birth prematurely correspond to births with less than 37 weeks of gestation.
