Oral manifestations of systemic disease

While the majority of disorders of the mouth are centred upon the direct action of plaque, the oral tissues can be subject to change or damage as a consequence of disease that predominantly affects other body systems. Such oral manifestations of systemic disease can be highly variable in both frequency and presentation. As lifespan increases and medical care becomes ever more complex and effective it is likely that the numbers of individuals with oral manifestations of systemic disease will continue to rise. The present article provides a succinct review of oral manifestations of systemic disease. In view of this article being part of a wider BDJ themed issue on the subject of oral medicine, this review focuses upon oral mucosal and salivary gland disorders that may arise as a consequence of systemic disease

Implementação do sistema de gestão de materiais informatizado do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo Implementación de un sistema de gestión de materiales informatizado del Hospital Universitario de la Universidad de São Paulo Implementation of computerized material management system at the University of São Paulo University Hospital

Trata-se do relato do processo de implementação do sistema informatizado de gestão de materiais no Hospital Universitário da USP. O sistema foi intitulado Sistema de Gestão de Materiais (SGM). A implementação apresentou quatro fases: a escolha do modelo e da ferramenta informacional, a reestruturação do processo logístico de materiais do hospital, a reestruturação das áreas de apoio e a implantação do próprio sistema SGM. O estudo realizado no Centro Cirúrgico após a implantação do sistema demonstrou que, comparando o consumo e o estoque de materiais do SGM em relação ao Sistema Tradicional, houve uma diminuição da quantidade consumida e do custo dos materiais estocados na Unidade.<br>Se trata de un informe de experiencia del proceso de implementación de un sistema informatizado de gestión de materiales en el Hospital Universitario de la Universidad de São Paulo, Brasil. El sistema llevó por nombre Sistema de Gestión de Materiales (SGM). La implementación necesitó de cuatro fases: la elección del modelo y de las herramientas informáticas, la reestructuración del proceso logístico de materiales hospitalarios, la reestructuración de las áreas de apoyo y la implantación del propio sistema SMG. Un estudio realizado en los Quirófanos luego de la implementación demostró que, comparando el consumo y el stock de materiales del SMG en relación al Sistema Tradicional, hubo una disminución de las cantidades consumidas y del costo de los materiales en stock en la Unidad.<br>This is an experience report on the process of implementing a computerized materials management system at the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo. The system was called Materials Management System (SGM). The process comprised four phases: choice of the model and information tool; restructuring of the logistic materials process at the hospital; restructuring of the support areas and establishment of the SGM system itself. A study carried out at the Surgical Center after the establishment demonstrated that, when comparing materials consumption and inventories in the SGM with the Traditional System, the consumed quantity and the cost of inventory materials at the Unit decreased
