Epidemiologia e tratamento do traumatismo dentoalveolar em crianças e adolescentes: uma revisão da literatura / Epidemiology and treatment of dental alveolar traumatism in children and adolescents: a literature review

O trauma dentoalveolar tem como etiologia fatores de violência externa, e acomete com maior frequência crianças e adolescentes. Condutas equivocadas do próprio individuo lesado ou de seus responsáveis, na maioria das vezes por falta de informação, tendem a complicar e desfavorecer o prognóstico do tratamento odontológico. O objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar o perfil epidemiológico de crianças e adolescentes frente ao trauma dentoalveolar, bem como discutir sobre os protocolos de tratamento disponíveis na literatura mediante cada caso específico, o que poderá auxiliar na tomada de decisões clínicas. Estima-se que duas em cada três crianças podem apresentar algum tipo de lesão dentoalveolar por trauma, sendo mais comuns nos indivíduos do sexo masculino, em detrimento do feminino. Os traumas dentoalveolares são divididos em dois grandes grupos: fraturas de tecidos duros e lesões nos tecidos moles. Sendo a avulsão o trauma de maior complexidade terapêutica e de prognóstico, quando tratado com menos de 60 minutos o prognóstico é favorável. Além disso soluções de armazenamento até o tratamento podem contribuir de forma significativa para o sucesso terapêutico odontológico

Bem como, vem apresentando suas possíveis manifestações clínicas, e formas de diagnóstico. Discussão: É explanado de acordo com os sinais e sintomas relacionados ao caso quais medidas de tratamento a serem tomadas, a fim de prevenir ou minimizar o desenvolvimento de complicações mais severas. Conclusão: A melhor resolução é de que a atenção e o investimento sejam voltados à prevenção da infecção que ocorre na atenção básica, pois o quanto antes o tratamento for realizado, menores serão as complicações do caso clínico

Etipatogenia, diagnóstico e tratamento das infecções de origem dentária: revisão de literatura / Etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of dental infections: literature review

As infecções de origem dentária podem causar graves problemas à saúde do indivíduo, tratando-se de uma preocupação de saúde pública. Essas infecções podem ser originadas de diversos meios, sejam estes, através da necrose pulpar, por cárie ou decorrente da invasão bacteriana para os tecidos periapicais, além de bolsas periodontais profundas, pericoronarite ou através de traumatismo dentário. A abordagem terapêutica dessas infecções variam de acordo com a forma de evolução, organismo causador, além das estruturas anatômicas comprometidas, com isso quando o fator etiológico for eliminado, o processo inflamatório desaparecerá. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir sobre a etiopatogenia, classificação, sintomatologia, diagnóstico e tratamento apropriado das infecções de origem dentária. Este artigo se trata de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Conclui-se que uma infecção de origem dentária pode ser combatida a partir de diversas condutas, tanto pelo próprio organismo do hospedeiro através de mecanismos da resposta imunológica quanto por condutas clínicas e terapêuticas, sendo essencial a prescrição correta e segura de antibióticos

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
