Mortality profile of myeloid and lymphoid leukemias in Brazil: 2000 to 2018 / Perfil de mortalidade por leucemias mieloide e linfoide no Brasil: 2000 a 2018

Introduction: Leukemias, despite their declining mortality over the years, continue to be a major public health problem in Brazil. Objective: to analyze trends in mortality from myeloid leukemia (LM) and lymphoid leukemia (LL) in Brazil from 2000 to 2018, correlating with health services and municipal human development index (MHDI). Methods: Data were collected from DATASUS databases for the year 2000 to 2018, regarding mortality rate, number of specialized hospitals, MDHI, primary care coverage and population by state. Correlation analyzes were performed between the studied variables and time series analysis to measure trends over the years (VPA – annual percentage change). Results: Approximately 50% of the Brazilian states showed a tendency to increase mortality from LL and LM. The North and Northeast regions have higher APC and lower MDHI. There is a statistically significant difference between MHDI and referral hospitals (p = 0.000; r = 0.64) and MHDI with primary care (p = 0.034; r = -0.41). For LL, mortality is higher in men (p < 0.001). There was a statistically significant correlation for LL mortality rate in women with primary care coverage (p=0.049; r=-0.38). Conclusions: Approximately 50% of Brazilian states showed increasing mortality. Mortality is higher in men with LL. Mortality of women with LL is lower where there are more primary and referral centers

Cooking Workshops Increase the Sensory Acceptability of Watercress-Added Products Among Children

The objective of the research was to evaluate the knowledge, consumption and acceptance of children in relation to vegetables, especially the watercress, their participation in the preparation of meals and the degree of food neophobia of this public. Also, evaluate the effect of cooking workshops on the acceptability of watercress-added food products among children, in addition to analyzing the products physico-chemical composition. Twenty-three school-age children answered questionnaires and participated in cooking workshops for the preparation and sensory evaluation of cookie and cheese bread, added of watercress. The products were also evaluated in relation to the physico-chemical composition. Most children had low knowledge of vegetables and low acceptance of watercress. In general, the participation of children in the cooking workshops increased the products acceptability. The products presented a good nutritional profile and can be offered to school-age children, since they contain a better nutrient content than those traded without the addition of vegetables, especially for the contents of minerals and fibers. It was concluded that school-age children have low knowledge and acceptability of vegetables, among them the watercress. Cooking workshop is an effective educational strategy to improve the acceptability of food products added of watercress by this public. In addition, these products have a good nutritional profile, which promotes the supply of healthier foods, contributing to the reduction of the risk of future chronic non-communicable diseases

Dimensional change of impression materials for dental prothesis using different measuring methods

The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of alternative techniques for measuring the linear dimensional change of molds obtained by different impression materials. A stainless-steel die containing three lines was used to get the impressions. The impression materials were handled according to the manufacturers' instructions. After gelation/polymerization time, the molds (n=12) were stored for 30 minutes and the lines were subsequently measured using: a microscope (Olympus Measuring Microscope STM; Olympus Optical Co) with a 30x magnification (MM, control group), a digital caliper (Mitutoyo Digimatic; Kawasaki) (DC) and digitization using a digital camera (Canon EOS Rebel 3Ti; Canon)  (DI). For each mold, a mean of the length of the lines was obtained. For each impression material, the difference in the length between the metallic matrix and the mold was considered as linear dimensional change (%). The data were submitted to the non-parametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, followed by one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for each material, and the means were compared by the Tukey test (α=0.05). The DI group promoted values of dimensional accuracy without significant differences with the control group (MM), except for the putty-body condensation silicone. The DC group showed significant differences for MM and DI groups for all impression materials tested. The DI group showed to be a reliable methodology (Standard error of the mean 10%) to measure the linear dimensional change of all impression materials. The DI group presented molds with linear dimensional change values without significant differences with MM group, except for the putty-body addition silicone. The digitization is a reliable methodology to evaluate the linear dimensional changes of molds made with impression materials, except for the putty-body elastomeric impression materials.Key words: Dimensional Measurement Accuracy; Dental impression materials; Microscopy

Effect of polymerization method and fabrication method on occlusal vertical dimension and occlusal contacts of complete-arch prosthesis

Made available in DSpace on 2019-09-12T16:57:04Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018PURPOSE. This study evaluated the dimensional stability of a complete-arch prosthesis processed by conventional method in water bath or microwave energy and polymerized by two different curing cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty maxillary complete-arch prostheses were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10): MW1 - acrylic resin cured by one microwave cycle; MW2 - acrylic resin cured by two microwave cycles: WB1 - conventional acrylic resin polymerized using one curing cycle in a water bath; WB2 - conventional acrylic resin polymerized using two curing cycles in a water bath. For evaluation of dimensional stability, occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and area of contact points were measured in two different measurement times: before and after the polymerization method. A digital caliper was used for OVD measurement. Occlusal contact registration strips were used between maxillary and mandibular dentures to measure the contact points. The images were measured using the software IpWin32, and the differences before and after the polymerization methods were calculated. The data were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (alpha=.05). RESULTS. The results demonstrated significant statistical differences for OVD between different measurement times for all groups. MW1 presented the highest OVD values, while WB2 had the lowest OVD values (P<.05). No statistical differences were found for area of contact points among the groups (P=.7150). CONCLUSION. The conventional acrylic resin polymerized using two curing cycles in a water bath led to less difference in OVD of complete-arch prosthesis.[Barbosa Lima, Ana Paula; Vitti, Rafael Pino; Amaral, Marina; Claro Neves, Ana Christina; da Silva Concilio, Lais Regiane] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Dent Sch, Dept Prosthodon

Linear dimensional change of edentulous models made of high-density laboratory silicones at different storage times

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the dimensional change of edentulous models made of high density laboratory silicones at different storagetimes. Methods: A metallic master model simulating an edentulous maxilla was used. The model had projections of 1.8 cm located in the regions of canines (A and B) and molars (C and D) allowing the linear measurement of distances AB, BC, CD, DA, AC and BD. A laboratory silicone mold was made for duplication of master model in the following materials (n = 10): G1: Zetalabor 85, G2: Titanium 95, G3: Platinum 95 and G4: Gypsum type III (control). The samples were photographed and measured using a software (Image J) at times T1 (baseline) and T2 (after one week of models fabrication). The data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal- Wallis and Dun non-parametric tests (α = 0.05). Results: The storage time influenced the behavior of the materials evaluated. All groups presented dimensional changes in both times and the group Tit95 presented the best results. Only Zet85 group showed a different behavior related to the region of the model. Conclusions: The high density laboratory silicones showed satisfactory results when compared to the gypsum group. Tit95 was the most stable material and it can be recommended as an edentulous model for total protheses

Influence of Different Ceramic Systems on Marginal Misfit

Made available in DSpace on 2019-09-12T16:56:59Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017OBJECTIVE: the aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal misfit at the interface between a ceramic coping and its abutment. METHODS: Twenty-four specimens were made with solid abutments. The specimens were divided into 3 groups according to the ceramic system (n = 8): Lava (zirconia), IPS e.max Press (lithium disilicate), and IPS Empress Esthetic (leucite). All copings were cemented with resin luting agent (RelyX U200) and the marginal misfit were evaluated at 3 different times: initial, after cementation, and after mechanical cycling using a linear measuring microscope (Measuring Microscope STM-Olympus) at a magnification of 40x. All specimens were subjected to mechanical cycling (1 million cycles) by an universal testing machine (Instron 8800). The results were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Student's t-test (alpha = 0.05). RESULTS: all groups showed an increase in the marginal misfit after cementation. The lithium disilicate group demonstrated the lowest interacial gap values at each evaluation (p = 0.001). The zirconia and leucite groups showed similar interfacial gap values (initial, p = 0.244; and post cementation, p = 0.751). CONCLUSIONS: the cementation increase the marginal misfit, but the mechanical cycling did not influence the marginal misfit of the ceramics systems evaluated.[Vargas, Sebastiao Pires; Claro Neves, Ana Christina; Vitti, Rafael; Amaral, Marina; Henrique, Mirelle Nery; Silva-Concilio, Lais Regiane] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Dept Den
