Tooth abnormalities and soft tissue alterations in patients with G/BBB syndrome

OBJECTIVE: The G/BBB syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by eye anomalies, laryngotracheoesophageal cleft, congenital heart disease, genitourinary anomalies and gastrointestinal disorders. Patients may also present cleft lip and palate, high-arched palate and thin upper lip. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of tooth abnormalities and soft tissue changes in patients with G/BBB syndrome. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one patients with G/BBB syndrome were analyzed as to the presence of tooth abnormalities and soft tissue alterations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The prevalence of tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth was compared to patients without morphofunctional alterations, matched for gender and age. RESULTS: All patients had complete cleft lip and palate; 95.23% of patients presented tooth abnormalities, mainly hypoplastic alterations, with predominance of alterations of number, followed by alterations of structure, shape and position. The frequency of tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth was significantly higher compared with the control group; 11 patients presented incisiform supernumerary teeth in the mandibular anterior region. Ankyloglossia was observed in 11 of 21 patients. CONCLUSION: The presence of mandibular anterior supernumerary teeth and ankyloglossia should be investigated in the clinical evaluation of patients with suspected diagnosis of the G/BBB syndrome.

Direito à educação escolar: o discurso da inclusão x a prática da exclusão

Neste estudo, discute-se as dificuldades do reconhecimento dos direitos humanos após a Revolução Francesa de 1789 e, em especial, o direito à educação pública escolar. Na busca por conhecer as condições que favorecem a inclusão escolar, examina-se a situação do fracasso escolar no Brasil, bem como mudanças recentes implementadas por políticas públicas, em particular o princípio da não-retenção escolar na Escola Fundamental. Conclui-se que ainda permanece uma grande distância entre o que é legalmente proclamado e o que é realmente efetivado em termos do direito à educação no Brasil

The changing epidemiology of Acinetobacter spp. producing MA. carbapenemases causing bloodstream infections in Brazil: a BrasNet report

Made available in DSpace on 2019-09-12T16:53:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015Merieux Research Grants - Institut MerieuxWe evaluated the epidemiology of Acinetobacter spp. recovered from patients diagnosed with bloodstream infections in 9 tertiary hospitals located in all Brazilian geographic regions between April and August 2014. Although OXA-23-producing Acinetobacter baumannii clones were disseminated in most hospitals, it was observed for the first time the spread of OXA-72 among clonally related A. baumannii isolated from distinct hospitals. Interestingly, Acinetobacter pittii was the most frequent species found in a Northern region hospital. Contrasting with the multisusceptible profile displayed by A. pittii isolates, the tetracyclines and polymyxins were the only antimicrobials active against all A. baumannii isolates.

Estudos sobre ciclos e progressão escolar no Brasil: uma revisão Studies on school cycles and school progression in Brazil: a survey

Este artigo faz uma revisão de estudos publicados sobre ciclos e progressão escolar no país, tomando por base levantamento das publicações acadêmicas sobre o tema, que abrangeu o período de 1980 ao primeiro semestre de 2002, bem como trabalhos mais recentes. A partir dos focos identificados na revisão preliminar do material, realizada no referido levantamento, o texto procura destacar: conclusões provenientes do resgate histórico das experiências de introdução dos ciclos nas redes escolares; dados sobre a abrangência e configuração atual das escolas organizadas em ciclos no país; dimensões enfatizadas, omitidas ou pouco exploradas em ensaios ou em pesquisas sobre os ciclos, tais como a sua fundamentação, implementação e apreciação dos resultados; fontes bibliográficas para o estudo das experiências específicas. Especial atenção é dada aos artigos referentes às reformas promovidas em municípios de capitais que introduziram a organização do ensino em ciclos em contextos inovadores, como São Paulo, Belo Horizonte e Porto Alegre. À guisa de conclusão, as autoras consideram que, embora na literatura examinada haja elementos preciosos para a compreensão do atual estágio em que se encontram as questões pertinentes aos ciclos, as políticas em curso demandam mais investigações que abarquem as dimensões de formulação, implementação e impacto, sendo oportunas não apenas as análises de cunho descritivo e analítico, como também os estudos de caráter propositivo.<br>This article is a review of published studies about school cycles and school progression in this country, based on a survey of academic publications on this issue covering the period from 1980 to the first half of 2002, as well as more recent material. From the focal points identified during the preliminary review of the material carried out in the above-mentioned survey the text attempts to highlight: conclusions drawn from the historical recovery of the experiences of introducing cycles in schools; data on the coverage and current configuration of schools organized in cycles in Brazil; dimensions emphasized, omitted or little explored in essays and research on school cycles; bibliographical sources for the study of specific experiences. Special attention is given to recent articles that refer to the reforms carried out in state capital cities, which have introduced the cycle organization within innovative contexts, such as those conducted in São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre. As a conclusion, the authors consider that, although the literature examined does contain valuable elements to the comprehension of the current stage in which the issues related to school cycles find themselves, the ongoing policies demand further investigation covering the dimensions of formulation, implementation and impact; timely studies are not just those of a descriptive or analytical nature, but also those submitting proposals
