Estudio Piloto: Influencia de los hábitos orales en el desarrollo de maloclusiones en infantes

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of oral habits more prevalent in the dental occlusion of infants who attended the dental clinic of San Marcos University. This is a descriptive and cross-section study in patients attending the Infant Clinic of the Child, in the 2010. The sample consisted in 50 infants who recorded the first plane of occlusion. The data collection was obtained through a survey to parents and subsequently performed clinical examination for registration of malocclusion in children. They applied the chi-square test of Pearson r (SPSS 17) with a significance level of 95 % (p <0.05).Our study observed a relation between the common digital suction depth of the palate with 60 % (11 infants) (p 0.01). Also was no relation between the plane and finger sucking terminal for within the age range of 19-36 months, also there was a terminal plane (straight or distal) in 89% (8 infants) in the group with digital suction its 100 % (9 infants) (p 0.00). It study was found that a positive relation between deep palate and the habit of mouth breathing, found that 100% of them (p 0.00), being the age of the infants of 19-36 months, those who had the highest prevalence. The results showed that early onset most prevalent habits (finger sucking and mouth breathing 21 % 12 %) is most apparent between ages (19 - 36 months) on dental malocclusion. The thumb sucking habit has an impact on the depth of the palate and was relation of the rectum terminal plane and distal step.El objetivo general del presente estudio fue determinar la influencia de los malos hábitos orales más prevalentes en la oclusión dentaria de infantes que asistieron a la Clínica del Niño de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM). Por lo que, se realizó este estudio descriptivo y transversal en 50 pacientes infantes que asistieron durante el año 2010 y ya registraban el primer plano de la oclusión. La recolección de los datos se obtuvo mediante encuesta a los padres y examen clínico para el registro de maloclusiones en los infantes. Se aplicó la prueba de Chi cuadrado y r de Pearson (SPSS 17) con un nivel de significancia del 95 % (p <0,05). En nuestro estudio se observó que existe relación entre la succión digital frecuente con profundidad del paladar en el 60 % (11 infantes) (p 0.01). Asimismo se observó relación entre el plano terminal y succión digital (p0.00). Se comprobó que existe una relación positiva entre el paladar profundo y el hábito de respiración (p:0.00), siendo la edad de los infantes de 19-36 meses, los que registraron la mayor prevalencia. Los resultados determinaron que la aparición temprana de malos hábitos más prevalentes (succión digital 21 % y respiración bucal 12 %) es más evidente entre las edades (19-36 meses) sobre la maloclusión dental.El hábito de succión digital tiene repercusión en la profundidad del paladar así como en la relación del plano terminal recto y distal

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
