Caracteristicas epidemiologicas de las consultas de urgencia en la unidad de emergencia odontologicas del Hospital Herminda Martin de chillán durante el año 2003

62 p.INTRODUCCIÓN: La población chilena presenta un alto daño en su salud bucal. La respuesta a las demandas por tratamiento odontológico de los adultos es mayoritariamente realizada a través de la Atención Odontológica de Urgencia. Esta situación, lleva a la necesidad de conocer la distribución de las urgencias dentales según variables epidemiológicas, de los pacientes atendidos en la U.E.O. del Hospital Herminda Martín de la ciudad de Chillán. OBJETIVO: Describir epidemiológicamente las consultas de urgencia odontológicas realizadas en la U.E.O. del Hospital Herminda Martín de Chillán durante el año 2003. REVISIÓN BIBLIOGRÁFICA: Una emergencia de carácter dental, es la aparición súbita de una condición buco máxilo facial, que provoca una demanda espontánea de atención. Según el S.N.S.S, las consultas de urgencia son producidas principalmente por complicaciones de la caries dental y enfermedad periodontal. La epidemiología de las urgencias odontológicas a nivel mundial destaca que: el 22% de la población general de los Estados Unidos ha experimentado dolor orofacial en los últimos seis meses, y un 12% presentó dolor en alguna de sus piezas dentarias. Las urgencias de carácter odontológico son un problema de alta prevalencia. Situación que sin duda se mantendrá en nuestro país durante muchos años más, a causa de factores dependientes de la población y el estado. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de las consultas de urgencia odontológicas atendidas en la U.E.O. del Hospital Herminda Martín de Chillán. Esto se hizo a través de una detallada revisión de las hojas DAU odontológicas. De esta fuente se extrajo las diferentes variables a estudiar. RESULTADOS: El diagnóstico más frecuente fue pulpitis, el tratamiento; la exodoncia, casi no hay diferencias entre hombres y mujeres atendidos, el rango de edad que más consultó fue el de 25 – 44 años. DISCUSIÓN: Los diagnósticos, el rango de edad más atendido, la necesidad de antibioterapia, se correlacionan con estudios nacionales y extranjeros. El tratamiento más realizado concuerda con la literatura chilena al respecto, pero no con la extranjera. CONCLUSIONES: Existe gran cantidad de caries y enfermedad periodontal en los atendidos en la U.E.O. Produciéndose una alta mutilación a través de las extracciones realizadas en el mismo servicio

IntroductionRespiratory infections are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, mainly in children, immunocompromised people, and the elderly. Several respiratory viruses can induce intestinal inflammation and alterations in intestinal microbiota composition. Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is one of the major respiratory viruses contributing to infant mortality in children under 5 years of age worldwide, and the effect of this infection at the gut level has not been studied.MethodsHere, we evaluated the distal effects of HMPV infection on intestinal microbiota and inflammation in a murine model, analyzing several post-infection times (days 1, 3, and 5). Six to eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were infected intranasally with HMPV, and mice inoculated with a non-infectious supernatant (Mock) were used as a control group.ResultsWe did not detect HMPV viral load in the intestine, but we observed significant changes in the transcription of IFN-γ in the colon, analyzed by qPCR, at day 1 post-infection as compared to the control group. Furthermore, we analyzed the frequencies of different innate and adaptive immune cells in the colonic lamina propria, using flow cytometry. The frequency of monocyte populations was altered in the colon of HMPV -infected mice at days 1 and 3, with no significant difference from control mice at day 5 post-infection. Moreover, colonic CD8+ T cells and memory precursor effector CD8+ T cells were significantly increased in HMPV-infected mice at day 5, suggesting that HMPV may also alter intestinal adaptive immunity. Additionally, we did not find alterations in antimicrobial peptide expression, the frequency of colonic IgA+ plasma cells, and levels of fecal IgA. Some minor alterations in the fecal microbiota composition of HMPV -infected mice were detected using 16s rRNA sequencing. However, no significant differences were found in β-diversity and relative abundance at the genus level.DiscussionTo our knowledge, this is the first report describing the alterations in intestinal immunity following respiratory infection with HMPV infection. These effects do not seem to be mediated by direct viral infection in the intestinal tract. Our results indicate that HMPV can affect colonic innate and adaptive immunity but does not significantly alter the microbiota composition, and further research is required to understand the mechanisms inducing these distal effects in the intestine.</p

Notes for genera – Ascomycota

Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10--15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011, has also caused changes in fungal generic names. In order to facilitate access to all important changes, it was desirable to compile these in a single document. The present article provides a list of generic names of Ascomycota (approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016), including those which are lichen-forming. Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of `Ainsworth Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi' in 2008 are provided. The notes include the number of accepted species, classification, type species (with location of the type material), culture availability, life-styles, distribution, and selected publications that have appeared since 2008. This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the ``Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi'' published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names. This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists, and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). The previously invalidly published generic names Barriopsis, Collophora (as Collophorina), Cryomyces, Dematiopleospora, Heterospora (as Heterosporicola), Lithophila, Palmomyces (as Palmaria) and Saxomyces are validated, as are two previously invalid family names, Bartaliniaceae and Wiesneriomycetaceae. Four species of Lalaria, which were invalidly published are transferred to Taphrina and validated as new combinations. Catenomycopsis Tibell Constant. is reduced under Chaenothecopsis Vain., while Dichomera Cooke is reduced under Botryosphaeria Ces. De Not. (Art. 59)
