Tratamento ortodôntico em pacientes com dentes reimplantados após avulsão traumática: relato de caso

Abstract: introduction: The high prevalence of individuals with dental trauma prior to orthodontic treatment justifies the precautions that should be followed before and during treatment, considering all possible effects of orthodontic movement on traumatized teeth. Among the major traumatic dental injuries, avulsion with subsequent tooth reimplantation entails a higher than average risk of complications, such as pulp necrosis, root resorption and ankylosis. Therefore, it gives orthodontists several reasons for concern. o bjective: This case report sought to analyze the implications of tooth reimplantation after traumatic avulsion in patients requiring orthodontic treatment. conclusions: Tooth movement of a reimplanted tooth after traumatic avulsion is viable provided no signs of abnormality are present. Ankylosed teeth, however, are not amenable to orthodontic movement but should be preserved as space maintainers until root resorption is completed, provided that the teeth do not present with severe infraocclusion. Should an ankylosed tooth be in severe infraocclusion, crown amputation and root burial are indicated as a means to preserve the alveolar bone in the region, since resorption will occur by replacement of the buried root, as was the case in this report.

Caracterização e prevalência de síndrome metabólica em idosos segundo dois critérios diagnósticos diferentes

Abstract: A prevalencia de sindrome metabolica aumenta (SM) com a idade, assim como o risco cardiovascular associado a esta condicao. Poucos estudos tem direcionado atencao a SM na populacao idosa. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalencia de SM segundo dois diferentes criterios diagnosticos em populacao idosa hipertensa e/ou diabetica de baixa renda, bem como reconhecer a concordância diagnostica entre os dois criterios e as diferencas dos componentes entre os generos. Foram avaliados 190 idosos do Programa Hiperdia na cidade de Colombo–PR. A amostra tinha idade media de 67.95 anos, mais de 64% eram mulheres, e 26.3% portadores de diabete. O diagnostico de SM foi realizado em 51.6% da amostra quando aplicados os criterios do NCEP-ATP III, e em 60.5% quando aplicados os componentes propostos pela IDF, com concordância elevada (Rho=0.760). As idosas apresentaram maiores proporcoes do diagnostico de SM (p < 0.001) quando comparadas aos homens, maior proporcao de positividade no componente circunferencia abdominal aumentada, e menores valores de HDL-colesterol (p=0.03).

Riscos gestacionais e o nascimento prematuro: enfrentamento para a maternagem

Abstract: Objective: to understand the experience of motherhood after preterm delivery. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive study with 12 participants, out in a university hospital through Madeleine Leininger's sociocultural questionnaire, the life narrative technique and the instrument to obtain information from the interviewed women's records and their newborns. The analysis was based on the Ethnographic survey. The results were also presented in figure form. Results: two analytical categories emerged: Gestational risks and premature birth and The confrontation of maternal premature infant. All women experienced confrontations for motherhood from the gestational period related to preterm birth to the time of hospital discharge. Conclusion: the experience of mothering of mothers with preterm infants became a confrontation from the moment of early delivery, which occurred related to biological gestational risks and also associated with individual characteristics and unfavorable sociodemographic conditions. The aim of this research is to contribute to the fact that the period of adaptation, both of the mother who becomes the primary caregiver and of the newborn, who belongs to a family environment, is articulated from the period of hospitalization.

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender a vivencia para a maternagem apos o parto prematuro . Metodo: trata-se de estudo qualitativo, descritivo, com 12 participantes, em hospital universitario por meio do questionario sociocultural de Madeleine Leininger, da tecnica da narrativa de vida e instrumento para obter informacoes dos prontuarios das entrevistadas e de seus recem-nascidos. Baseou-se a analise na Etnoenfermagem . Apresentaram-se os resultados tambem em forma de figura . Resultados: informa-se que emergiram duas categorias analiticas: Os riscos gestacionais e o nascimento prematuro e O enfrentamento de maternar filho prematuro. Vivenciaram-se, por todas as mulheres, enfrentamentos para a maternagem desde o periodo gestacional relacionado ao parto prematuro, ate o momento da alta hospitalar. Conclusao: tornou-se a vivencia da maternagem de maes com filhos prematuros um enfrentamento desde o momento do parto antecipado, que ocorreu relacionado aos riscos gestacionais biologicos e tambem associado as caracteristicas individuais e condicoes sociodemograficas desfavoraveis. Intui-se, com esta pesquisa, contribuir para que o periodo de adaptacao, tanto da mae que se torna cuidadora primaria, quanto do recem-nascido, que passa a pertencer a um ambiente familiar, seja articulado desde o periodo de internacao.

RESUMEN Objetivo: comprender la vivencia para la maternidad despues del parto prematuro. Metodo: se trata de un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo, con 12 participantes, en un hospital universitario a traves del cuestionario sociocultural de Madeleine Leininger, de la tecnica de la narrativa de vida e instrumento para obtener informaciones de los prontuarios de las entrevistadas y de sus recien nacidos. Se baso el analisis en la Etnoenfermeria. Se presentaron los resultados tambien en forma de figura. Resultados: se informa que emergieron dos categorias analiticas: Los riesgos gestacionales y el nacimiento prematuro y el enfrentamiento de los cuidados maternos al hijo prematuro. Se han vivido, por todas las mujeres, enfrentamientos para la maternidad desde el periodo gestacional relacionado al parto prematuro, hasta el momento del alta hospitalaria. Conclusion: se hizo la vivencia de la maternidad de madres con hijos prematuros un enfrentamiento desde el momento del parto anticipado, que ocurrio relacionado a los riesgos gestacionales biologicos y tambien asociado a las caracteristicas individuales y condiciones sociodemograficas desfavorables. En el caso de la madre que se vuelve cuidadora primaria, el recien nacido, que pasa a pertenecer a un ambiente familiar, se articula desde el periodo de internacion.

Management of the environmental restoration of degraded areas

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study ecotechnology for the management of degraded areas originally covered by the Atlantic Rainforest and located at the coordinates 25o31'50''S, 9o09'30''W. The area included 12 islands, each consisting of six jute bags with 20 kg of substrate (cattle manure and soil transposed from forest fragments). In six of these bags, native plants and seeds were also included. Six additional islands were selected randomly in the vicinity as the control. The process of evaluation was monitored through the chemical and granulometric soil analysis and surveys of survival, biometrics, floristic and phytosociological vegetation. An improvement in soil properties was observed where the model was implemented, which could be attributed to the substrate and re-vegetation. In the floristic and phytosociological studies, out of the 118 identified species, 65 were observed in the first floristic inventory and 86 in the second floristic inventory with similarities between the subfields of 27.69% and 11.36%, respectively. The influence of the substrate seed bank in the implemented islands was also observed. Increased diversity was only significant in the subareas with the model. It was concluded that this technology was effective in accelerating the succession and promoting the beginning of the restoration.
