Prevalence of Oral Lesions in Hospitalized Patients with Infectious Diseases in Northern Brazil
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of oral lesions in infectious-contagious diseases patients being treated in the University Hospital of the Federal University of Pará, northern Brazil. One hundred seven patients with infectious diseases were clinically investigated for oral lesions at the University Hospital of Pará, northern Brazil. From total sample, most patients were men (65.7%) with a mean age of 45.4 years. About prevalence of systemic diseases, tuberculosis was the most frequent illness, followed by AIDS, hepatitis types B and C, leishmaniasis, and meningitis. Analyzing oral manifestations, periodontal diseases and candidiasis were the most prevalent diseases in both genders, followed by recurrent aphthous ulcers, saburral tongue, simplex herpes, and squamous cell carcinoma. Of all 107 patients, only 10 males and 6 females did not present any oral manifestation. There was no statistical difference between genders with any systemic condition (P>0.05). The great prevalence of oral manifestations in hospitalized patients with systemic disorder emphasizes the need of integral dental care in this context, aiming at a multidisciplinary approach of patients. Therefore, presence of some oral conditions, such as candidiasis, should be an alert to different systemic conditions, once in assistance with physicians; dentists can influence the early diagnosis and treatment

O potencial das plantas alimentĂcias nĂŁo convencionais (PANC): uma revisĂŁo de literatura / The potential of unconventional food plants (PANC): a literature review
Discutir as potencialidades de aplicação das PANC na alimentação humana, destacando os benefĂcios sociais, econĂ´micos e nutricionais para a população. Realizou-se uma revisĂŁo sistemática da literatura dos Ăşltimos doze anos (2008 a 2020) nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em CiĂŞncias da SaĂşde (Lilacs), Scielo, Portal de PeriĂłdicos da CAPES, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System On-line (Medline) e Google AcadĂŞmico. As PANC apresentam-se como uma alternativa de alimentação a baixo custo, pois podem ser encontradas com facilidade em quintais e atĂ© mesmo nas ruas e podem ser consideradas como “mato” quando nĂŁo há conhecimento sobre os seus potenciais valores nutricionais e gastronĂ´micos. AlĂ©m de ser economicamente favorável tambĂ©m produz soberania alimentar para famĂlias de baixa renda, dando a possibilidade de consumo alĂ©m do que está disponĂvel nas prateleiras de hortifrutis, feiras livres e supermercados. As PANC tĂŞm grande potencial para compor o cardápio alimentar da população, contudo, apesar dos diversos benefĂcios, observa-se uma subutilização dessas plantas, sobretudo, pela carĂŞncia de conhecimento da população
