High prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders and risk factors in a semi-urban brazilian city:a population-based cross-sectional study

Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) are defined as lesions with a greater likelihood of progressing to cancer. Population-based studies that evaluate the prevalence of OPMDs are scarce in Brazil. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of OPMDs and associated risk factors in a semi-urban Brazilian population. This is a cross-sectional study, whose universe included individuals aged 40 years or older residing in a medium-sized city of northeastern Brazil. Data collection was divided into two steps: interview and oral examination. The outcome variable was the presence of OPMDs. The predictor variables were sociodemographic characteristics and risk habits. The bivariate analysis was performed through chi-square test. The crude prevalence ratios (PR) and its respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was used to calculate adjusted PRs and 95% CI. Three hundred fourteen individuals were included in the study. When asked about risk habits, 58.9% reported being current smokers or ex-smokers and 62.2% reported being current drinkers or ex-drinkers. The prevalence of OPMDs was 7.6% and was significantly higher among individuals with black skin color (p < 0.001), alcohol users (p = 0.017), and individuals with both tobacco and alcohol habits (p = 0.012). Therefore, the population in the present study had a high frequency of risk habits associated with PMDs of the oral cavity

Os padrões de comunicação da surdocegueira nos contextos familiar e educacional

The deafblindness is a deficiency of a unique character and not the combination of two deficiencies; it is characterized very subjectively, since each deafblind develops forms and ways of communicating. The family and the school has a very important role for the cognitive, affective, social and emotional development of the deafblind subject, being the first social and educational means for the child. In view of these issues, the objective of this study was to understand the communication patterns of two young deafblind women in the family and school context, analyzing the possibility of developing a symbolic language in the interaction process with these environments. The sample consisted of two deafblind girls, their mothers and their teachers/interpreters. Their discourses were collected and analyzed according the Theory of analysis of the content of Bardin. The analysis presented four categories: 1) Communication patterns in the family; 2) Communication patterns in school; 3) Concrete Language and 4) Abstract Language. These analyzes can better understand the peculiarities of these actors in the interaction of communication, the development of the symbolic language of the deafblind subjects and their relationship with different ways of communicating with these subjects.La sordocegueira, deficiencia de carácter único que no significa unión de dos deficiencias, se caracteriza de forma muy subjetiva, ya que cada sordocego desarrolla formas y maneras de comunicarse. La familia y la escuela tienen un papel importantísimo para el desarrollo cognitivo, afectivo, social y emocional del sujeto sordocego, siendo los primeros medios sociales y de enseñanza del niño. Frente a estas cuestiones, este trabajo tuvo por objetivo comprender los patrones de comunicación de dos jóvenes sordocegas en el contexto familiar y escolar, analizando la posibilidad de desarrollar un lenguaje simbólico en el proceso de interacción con esos ambientes. La muestra fue constituida por dos jóvenes sordocegas, sus progenitores y sus profesoras / guías intérpretes. Se recolectaron sus discursos y se analizaron según la Teoría de Análisis de Contenidos de Bardin. El análisis presentó cuatro categorías: patrones de comunicación en la familia, patrones de comunicación en la escuela, lenguaje concreto y lenguaje abstracto. Con estos análisis, se pueden entender mejor las peculiaridades de esos actores en la interacción de la comunicación, el desarrollo del lenguaje simbólico de los sujetos sordocegos y su relación con las diferentes maneras de comunicarse con esos sujetos.A surdocegueira, deficiência de caráter único que não significa junção de duas deficiências, caracteriza-se de forma muito subjetiva, uma vez que cada surdocego desenvolve formas e maneiras de se comunicar.

Biomechanical evaluation of four surgical techniques for ventral stabilization of the atlantoaxial joint in dogs

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study compared, through biomechanical evaluation under ventral flexion load, four surgical techniques for ventral stabilization of the atlantoaxial joint in dogs. Methods: In total, 28 identical atlantoaxial joint models were created by digital printing from computed tomography images of a dog, and the specimens were divided into four groups of seven. In each group, a different technique for ventral stabilization of the atlantoaxial joint was performed: transarticular lag screws, polyaxial screws, multiple screws and bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate–PMMA), and atlantoaxial plate. After the stabilization technique, biomechanical evaluation was performed under ventral flexion load, both with a predefined constant load and with a gradually increasing load until stabilization failure. Results: All specimens, regardless of stabilization technique, were able to support the predefined load without failing. However, the PMMA method provided significant more rigidity (p ≤ 0.05) and also best resisted the gradual increase in load, supporting a significantly higher maximum force (p ≤ 0.05). There was no statistical difference in flexural strength between the transarticular lag screws and plate groups. The polyaxial screws method was significantly less resistant to loading (p ≤ 0.05) than the other groups. Conclusions: The PMMA technique had biomechanical advantages in ventral atlantoaxial stabilization over the other evaluated methods

Hexapoda Yearbook (Arthropoda: Mandibulata: Pancrustacea) Brazil 2020: the first annual production survey of new Brazilian species

This paper provided a list of all new Brazilian Hexapoda species described in 2020. Furthermore, based on the information extracted by this list, we tackled additional questions regarding the taxa, the specialists involved in the species descriptions as well as the journals in which those papers have been published. We recorded a total of 680 new Brazilian species of Hexapoda described in 2020, classified in 245 genera, 112 families and 18 orders. These 680 species were published in a total of 219 articles comprising 423 different authors residing in 27 countries. Only 30% of these authors are women, which demonstrates an inequality regarding sexes. In relation to the number of authors by species, the majority of the new species had two authors and the maximum of authors by species was five. We also found inequalities in the production of described species regarding the regions of Brazil, with Southeast and South leading. The top 10 institutions regarding productions of new species have four in the Southeast, two at South and with one ate North Region being the outlier of this pattern. Out of the total 219 published articles, Zootaxa dominated with 322 described species in 95 articles. The average impact factor was of 1.4 with only seven articles being published in Impact Factors above 3, indicating a hardship on publishing taxonomic articles in high-impact journals.The highlight of this paper is that it is unprecedent, as no annual record of Hexapoda species described was ever made in previous years to Brazil.Fil: Silva Neto, Alberto Moreira.

Evidências sobre o uso de leite materno no tratamento dermatológico da pele do recém-nascido: Evidence on the use of breast milk in the dermatological treatment of newborn skin

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as evidências sobre o uso de leite materno no tratamento dermatológico da pele do recém-nascido. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com base em uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL). A pesquisa foi realizada na Biblioteca Virtual do Ministério da Saúde (BVS) que indexa artigos de diferentes bases de dados como Scielo, Lilacs e MedLine e na PubMed. &nbsp;Como critérios de inclusão foi considerado ser disponível em formato completo e publicado nos últimos dez anos (2012-2022). Foram excluídos estudos que não respondessem o tema de pesquisa ou que estivessem duplicados nas bases de dados. O uso do leite materno como tratamento dermatológico de pele é potencial, porém, os estudos ainda são escassos e inconclusivos, fazendo-se importante que estudos sejam realizados para que se possa sanar dúvidas sobre o uso do leite materno, considerando ser um tratamento natural e de baixo custo

O Programa de Cidades Históricas (PCH) no âmbito das políticas culturais dos anos 1970: cultura, planejamento e nacional desenvolvimentismo

Este artigo analisa o Programa de Cidades Históricas (PCH) como parte da rede de relações e de poder que implementou as políticas culturais nos anos 1970 no Brasil, de modo integrado ao setor econômico do governo, com base nas linhas do projeto desenvolvimentista orientadas para o regionalismo associado à descentralização. Apresenta, inicialmente, documentos oficiais que orientaram a formulação da Política Nacional de Cultura na década de 1970 e a rede de intelectuais envolvidos na sua elaboração, contemplando diferentes agências do Estado, historicamente atuantes no campo da cultura. Destaca em tais documentos a naturalização da associação entre turismo, cultura e patrimônio, via pela qual se deu a incorporação do campo da cultura nas discussões sobre o desenvolvimento socioeconômico brasileiro. Analisa as parcerias estabelecidas entre o MEC e a Secretaria de Planejamento da Presidência da República para a criação e implantação do PCH, compreendido como um projeto de ações interministeriais integradas. Busca evidenciar os modos de incorporação das políticas culturais nos planos de desenvolvimento do Brasil Grande e apontamos a complexificação das redes e das representações acerca dos valores da brasilidade associados ao tradicional popular nordestino. Foram trazidas para a análise memórias de protagonistas do alto escalão do regime militar e de técnicos que compartilharam vivências, relacionadas àquela conjuntura e ao próprio PCH, cotejadas com uma diversificada documentação.The article analyzes the Program of Historical Cities - PCH (Programa de Cidades Históricas) as part of the network of relations and power that implemented cultural policies in the 1970s in Brazil, in an integrated manner to the government's economic sector, based on the lines of development project, oriented to a regionalism associated with decentralization. It presents first official documents that guided the formulation of the National Cultural Policy in the 1970s and the intellectual network involved in its preparation, comprising officers from different state agencies, historically active in the cultural field. The article highlights the naturalization of the association between tourism, culture and heritage and the inclusion of the cultural field in the discussions about the Brazilian socioeconomic development. It analyzes partnerships between the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Secretariat of Planning of the Presidence of the Republic (Secretaria de Planejamento da Presidência da República) for the creation and implementation of the PCH, understood as a project of integrated ministerial actions. We identify the ways of incorporation of cultural policies in development plans of the ideological program called "Great Brasil" (Brasil Grande), and pointed out the complexity of networks and representations about the Brazilianness values associated with the traditional folk Northeastern. We brought for analysis the memories of high-ranking military regime protagonists and technicians who shared experiences related to the PCH, and collated them with a diverse documentation

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Onde Arte, Antropologia e Política podem se encontrar: Pessoalização e Metafísicas da Interioridade em Discursos sobre o Sofrimento

Este ensaio explora a possiblidade de coletivização de vivências individuais de sofrimento – elaboradas pela produção antropológica e de artes visuais – a partir de processos de pessoalização. Por esse termo, compreendo a construção discursiva que produz uma identificação com os interlocutores, cuja eficácia reside no compartilhamento de um reconhecimento genérico como humanidade. Para isso, as produções de artistas e antropólogos operam metafísicas da interioridade; ou seja, utilizam-se mecanismos estilísticos capazes de acionar emocionalmente os interlocutores do texto ou obra. Subjaz a essa proposta a compreensão de que antropologia e arte podem produzir agenciamentos políticos de forma análoga, fazendo com que partilhem algumas mesmas questões sócio-políticas.This essay explores the possibility of collectivizing individual experiences of suffering – built by the production of anthropological and visual artists works – based on personalization processes. By that term, I understand the discursive elaboration that produces an identification with the interlocutors whose effectiveness lies in sharing a generic recognition as humanity. For this, the productions of artists and anthropologists operate metaphysics of interiority; that is, using stylistic mechanisms capable of emotionally triggering the interlocutors of the text or work. It is understood that anthropology and art can produce political agencies in a similar way, sharing a number of like socio-political issues
