    Objective: To assess the reproducibility of two clinical criteria for the evaluation of restorations in primary teeth and the impact on treatment decision. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed selecting 71 resin-based composite restorations placed in primary molars of children who had sought dental treatment at a dental school. Two trained examiners evaluated independently the restorations using modified FDI and USPHS criteria. All restorations were assessed separately with each system in random order to avoid memory bias. Kappa statistics were used to determine inter-examiner reliability considering each parameter of both criteria and score final about treatment decision. McNemar test was used to compare the treatment decision with two criteria. The significance level was set at 5%. Results: Kappa values ranged from 0.28 to 0.93 with USPHS and 0.28 to 0.88 with FDI, considering each parameter separately. Inter- examiner agreement for treatment decision was excellent for both criteria (Kappa: 0.85-0.90). For clinical decision-making, no difference between criteria was found, irrespective of examiner. Conclusion: Low inter- examiner agreement for evaluation of each parameter of USPHS and FDI criteria does not reflect on reproducibility for treatment decision. Both criteria may be suitable for evaluation of composite restorations in primary teeth

    Introduction: Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) impacts well-being, performance, and mental and physical health. A questionnaire for assessing occupants' perception of IEQ was developed in English. This study aimed to translate this instrument into Brazilian Portuguese and adapt it for the Brazilian population. Methods: The translation and adaptation process consisted of forward translation, adjustment, back translation, back translation review, harmonization, two cognitive debriefings, and finalization. Results: The final translated version included new questions and changed the scale to a visual-analogue format. The clarity assessment showed that after cognitive debriefings all questions displayed satisfactory scores, with the majority rated higher than 9 in a 0-10 scale. Conclusions: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the IEQ questionnaire is a simple tool that can be employed in biomedical and building research to investigate the association of the perceived indoor environmental quality with health-related parameters, as well as in architecture, engineering, and management projects

    Introduction: Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) impacts well-being, performance, and mental and physical health. A questionnaire for assessing occupants’ perception of IEQ was developed in English. This study aimed to translate this instrument into Brazilian Portuguese and adapt it to the Brazilian population. Methods: The translation and adaptation process consisted of forward translation, reconciliation, back translation, back translation review, harmonization, two cognitive debriefings, and finalization. Results: The final translated version included new questions and changed the scale to a visual-analog format. The clarity assessment showed that, after cognitive debriefings, all questions displayed satisfactory scores, with the majority rated higher than 9 on a 0-10 scale. Conclusions: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the IEQ questionnaire is a simple tool that can be employed in biomedical and building research to investigate the association of perceived IEQ with health-related parameters, as well as in architecture, engineering, and management projects. As a next step, a psychometric validation of the instrument will be performed

    MYCOPLASMA PULMONIS, AGENTE DA MICOPLASMOSE RESPIRATÓRIA MURINA: REVISÃO

    Get PDF
    A micoplasmose murina é uma infecção que ainda hoje representa um grande desafio para a experimentação animal em todo o mundo. O Mycoplasma pulmonis é o agente da micoplasmose respiratória murina, uma doença de curso crônico, lento e persistente por toda a vida do animal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar um panorama sobre aspectos biológicos, a enfermidade, métodos de diagnóstico e as dificuldades de prevenção e controle deste microrganismo. Ratos e camundongos são usados em todo o mundo na pesquisa biológica, e quando possuem padronização sanitária aliada à padronização genética fornecem ao pesquisador modelos importantes para a compreensão de diversos mecanismos biológicos. Entretanto, essas espécies podem infectar-se por agentes patogênicos que, introduzidos na criação, afetam a produção e os resultados experimentais. Entre as principais infecções que acometem os roedores, a micoplasmose é uma das mais importantes porque produz problemas respiratórios e reprodutivos graves, comprometendo a criação e impedindo a obtenção de animais livres de patógenos. Mesmo com o advento de equipamentos como as estantes ventiladas e os microisoladores, a ocorrência da infecção ainda é 100% nas colônias convencionais e 3,2% a 20% em colônias mantidas sob barreiras

    Treatment of canine multicentric lymphoma through vascular access port vs. peripheral venous catheter

    Background: Vascular access port (VAP) was developed for the administration of chemotherapeutic agents, minimizing local drug reactions and complications associated with migration of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) in humans. The device is widely used in human oncology and has gained importance in veterinary oncology, especially in long treatment regimens, as in the case of canine lymphoma. VAP favors therapy and the animals life quality. The aim of this study was to describe the use of VAP in dogs, comparing to PVC access, during canine lymphoma chemotherapeutic treatment. Materials, Methods & Results: Eleven dogs with multicentric lymphoma which required chemotherapy were selected for the study. The dogs were randomly allocated to two groups with five and six animals, and each group received the chemotherapy protocol through the PVC (n= 5) or VAP (n= 6). For the sake of standardization, assessments were made whenever the dogs received vincristine sulfate, despite the use of the infusion system in all sessions of the Madison- Wisconsin protocol. A VAP was implanted into the right external jugular vein of six dogs under inhalational anesthesia, using the Seldinger technique. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels and handling time during chemotherapy sessions were compared in both groups in three time periods during the procedures: 10 min after arrival to each chemotherapy (P1); immediately after placement of the PVC or puncture of the VAP reservoir (P2); and at the end of chemotherapy (P3). The arithmetic mean of five consecutive assessments was used in each time period. In the chemotherapy sessions, the mean of SBP variation decreased statistically significant in the VAP group compared to PVC group. SBP decreased from P1 to P2 and from P1 to P3 in all sessions (S1, S2, and S3) in the VAP group, and increased in the PVC group. The handling time of VAP group was 110.6 ± 8.4 s, compared to 219.2 ± 24.7 s (mean ± standard error) in the PVC group, showing statisti¬cally significant difference (P < 0.001). VAP surgical implantation time averaged 37 min, decreasing gradually from the first (55 min) to the last patient (21 min). Discussion: SBP levels suggest that the VAP group was calmer from the beginning to the end of the sessions, showed lower SBP levels, and required shorter handling time than did the PVC group. Blood pressure is one of the most objec¬tive ways to assess welfare or stress in dogs. When dog feels threatened or scared, its body automatically enters a state of emergency and, among several changes, blood pressure increases. VAP surgical implantation in dogs have easy learning, as previously described, proven by implantation time progressive reduction. The Seldinger technique is the method of choice for catheter implantation in humans. Dissection of the jugular vein is an alternative, however, the technique with a single incision and venipuncture is less invasive than its modifications. The jugular vein was used because is the site of choice for central accesses in veterinary practice, with a shorter path to the right atrium and smaller rates of catheter mis¬placement, reducing the risk of pneumothorax, venous thrombosis, and pinch-off syndrome. VAP surgical implantation in dogs have easy learning, proven by the implantation time progressive reduction. The study confirmed that VAP promoted animal welfare, shortened chemotherapy sessions, and caused less discomfort to dogs treated for multicentric lymphoma, as indicated by the reduction in SBP, when compared to the PVC group
