ANSIEDADE ENTRE ACADÊMICOS DE ENFERMAGEM, ODONTOLOGIA E PSICOLOGIA DE UMA INSTITUIÇÃO DE ENSINO SUPERIOR

A ansiedade é definida como um conjunto de sentimentos como medo, angústia, insegurança e preocupação, que prejudicam de forma considerável a qualidade de vida em todas as idades. Dessa forma desenvolveu-se o presente trabalho com o objetivo de verificar a presença da ansiedade entres os alunos de enfermagem, odontologia e psicologia de uma instituição de ensino superior. Foi realizado um estudo transversal e descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, através da aplicação de um instrumento de avaliação referente a sinais e sintomas de ansiedade e forma de controle da mesma. Participaram da pesquisa alunos matriculados nos cursos de enfermagem, odontologia e psicologia com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. De maneira geral 80,5% dos participantes se consideram ansiosos. Com relação aos cursos, 86% dos alunos de enfermagem acreditam ser ansiosos, enquanto que 78% e 69% dos alunos do curso de odontologia e psicologia se dizem ansiosos, respectivamente. No que se diz respeito ao controle da ansiedade, 48,8% afirmaram ter dificuldade em controlá-la. Os acadêmicos de enfermagem, odontologia e psicologia consideram-se ansiosos e isso pode afetar de maneira prejudicial o desempenho acadêmico. É importante que os alunos consigam controlar a ansiedade desde o início da graduação para que possam se tornar profissionais emocionalmente controlados ao lidar com situações desafiadoras

Tratamento de pigmentações melânicas com instrumentos rotatórios e lâmina de bisturi Treatment of melanic pigmentations with rotary instruments and scalpel blade

Introduction: Oral pigmentary lesions may have different clinical characteristics, ranging from physiological pigmentation, such as melanin spots, to something more serious, such as malignant melanoma. Due to the great variety of pigmented lesions, the treatments are varied and individualized. Objective: This clinical case reports a case of melanocytic removal through a surgical technique that associates rotary instruments and scalpel blade. Case report: A 45-year-old patient, melanoderma, sought care at the Positivo University, complaining about the dark spots visible on his gum, and the discomfort they caused him when smiling. After the clinical examination, the presence of melanocytic pigmentation was diagnosed and the proposed treatment was surgical removal of spots with a drill and scalpel blade. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient presented good healing and reported only mild burning in the first three days. After 60 days, the gingiva was healed, with no relapsing spots. Conclusion: The technique chosen was effective because it presented adequate healing and absence of relapse of the pigmentation in the postoperative follow-upIntroduction: Oral pigmentary lesions may have different clinical characteristics, ranging from physiological pigmentation, such as melanin spots, to something more serious, such as malignant melanoma.

Benign Mucosal Membrane Pemphigoid as a Differential Diagnosis of Necrotizing Periodontal Disease

Desquamative gingivitis is an oral sign of systemic changes that may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. It is generally related to immunological changes. This report is aimed at describing the case of a 51-year-old female patient, who presented with clinical desquamative gingivitis and was initially diagnosed and treated as necrotizing periodontal disease, but no improvement. The cause was hypothesized to be an autoimmune disease. Drug therapy was initiated as a combination of prednisone and topical clobetasol propionate 0.5% cream twice a day. After this treatment, there was an improvement in pain and the blistering of the gingiva. However, the gingiva remained erythematous. A biopsy led to the diagnosis of benign mucous membrane pemphigoid (BMMP). The BMMP case reported in this article has been successfully treated with systemic and topical immunosuppressive therapy. The efficacy of systemic corticosteroids with dapsone and multidisciplinary follow-up has been highlighted and can lead to the stabilization and adequate control of the disease
