Alterações estomatognáticas da microcefalia causada por Zika Vírus: Revisão de Literatura
Resumo:
Zika Virus is an arbovirus capable of causing fetal brain anomalies associated with maternal infection. These occur in the first two gestational trimesters; among them stands out microcephaly, a neurological disorder whose occiptofrontal perimeter is below the average for race, age and sex. The discovery of Zika as a new etiological factor for microcephaly alerts the health system, due to the epidemic that occurred in Brazil in 2015. The purpose of this study was to perform a literature review on the main stomatognathic alterations in microcephaly by Zika Virus and its importance for dentistry, as well as the benefits of this practice to such patients. A bibliographic survey was performed using scientific articles in English and Portuguese, published in the last 10 years, with the aid of scientific platforms such as Pubmed and Scielo. Although there are few scientific papers addressing Microcephaly by Zika and its orofacial effects, we conclude that the knowledge of this congenital infection and its orofacial alterations by the dental surgeon is indispensable to offer higher quality in the treatment of microcephaly, adapting the clinical conduct to the individual needs, always allying to a multiprofessional approach.
Keywords: Microcephaly, Zika virus, Orofacial abnormalities, Dental care.

Resumo:
Introduction: Oncology is the area of cancer-related research. The most advanced stage of cancer can lead to the terminal state, which is a time when the disease becomes "unrecoverable" for the nursing team, heading towards death without anyone being able to do anything to change its destiny, except how it goes spend your final moments. Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence related to nurses' interventions in cancer patients during the terminal phase. Methodology: This is an integrative review. Open access scientific articles published in scientific journals between 2013 and 2021 were categorized. At the end of the evaluation stages, we selected 7 articles that enabled the execution of this study. Results and discussion: Three main pieces of information were identified regarding the work of nurses for palliative care, which are: importance of nursing communication in palliative patient care; the pharmacological and non-pharmacological care procedures performed by nurses; and the main professional difficulties that nurses face in patient care. Conclusion: Communication is the basis of nurses' work in palliative care. The uses of treatments aim to reduce the patient's symptoms and pain, increasing their quality of life during their final moments. And among the challenges, the service overload, the lack of resources and protocols to perform palliative care and the possibility of suffering the impacts of the negative feelings that the patient and family have at that time stand out.
Keywords: palliative care, nursing, Oncology.

Práticas Integrativas no tratamento da ansiedade
Resumo:
Introduction: Integrative and Complementary Practices (PICS) use therapeutic resources that are based on traditional knowledge, with the aim of preventing various diseases such as anxiety. In the case of Integrative Health Practices (PIS), the focus of this article, they can be understood as technologies that treat the health of the individual in its multidimensionality - physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual - in order to promote, maintain and recover health. . Review: This article aims to present alternative therapies for the treatment of anxiety, such as aromatherapy, floral therapy, homeopathy and acupuncture. Discussion: They are known as integrative practices and are currently applied with private clinics and by the Unified Health System (SUS). These are technologies that obtain satisfactory results, through a welcoming listening, with a therapeutic bond, which integrates the individual with the environment and society. The PIS have a transversal, transdisciplinary and intersectoral character. Its validation in the SUS occurs through the criterion of the traditionality of its use, as well as through proof of its benefits. Final Considerations: These Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (PICs) were instituted in Brazil in 2006, and are considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as traditional medicine practices. This means that the knowledge, skills and practices applied in these types of therapies are based on theories, beliefs and experiences from different cultures, with a focus on health maintenance, prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illnesses. The main difference between PICs and traditional medicine is that conventional medicine tends to treat symptoms separately; in the case of the practice of PICs, these are treatments that see the individual as a whole, not just as a set of symptoms.

Biópsia em lesões enegrecidas e vinhosas da cavidade bucal: quando fazer, quando evitar? Uma revisão de literatura
Resumo:
The biopsy corresponds to an invasive surgical procedure whose function seeks to remove a lesion partially or totally, with the main objective of making a histopathological study to obtain a conclusive clinical diagnosis. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze different surgical biopsy techniques and their use in the diagnosis and treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, as well as to alert to the importance of knowing the different procedure techniques, taking into account their clinical indications and contraindications. A factor in successful diagnosis and treatment is to recognize the different types of distinct lesions in the maxillofacial region, which require different biopsy techniques. In this study we evaluated that the techniques of incisional and excisional biopsy are recommended in the diagnosis and treatment of pigmented lesions while for vascular lesions aspiration puncture, diascopy and vitreoretinal biopsy are more recommended, being only when indicated the excisional type biopsy.

In this perspective, there are differences in aspects related to health among men, women, children, young people, adults and the elderly. Objective: Was to analyze statistically the information provided by the National Health Survey on the positive self-assessment of health of individuals in the five regions of Brazil. Material and methods: This is an ecological study with the IBGE database. Best percentages of positive self-assessment were found among men in all regions. Results and discussion: There was a high and positive correlation between all variables, with the exception of the complete and incomplete middle school grade, which presented a statistically significant correlation only in relation to males (r2 = 0.85, p = 0.029), age range from 18 to 29 years (r2 = 0.96, p = 0.002) and 60 to 64 years (r2 = 0.93, p = 0.005). Only those individuals with incomplete and incomplete primary education and the elderly aged 75 years or over do not explain the total percentage of positive self-evaluation of health. Final considerations: We concluded that there are differences of sex and between the Brazilian regions in relation to the positive self-assessment of health.

Aplicação de toxina botulínica no tratamento da sialorreia crônica em pacientes com doenças neurológicas
Resumo:
Introduction: Sialorrhea is defined as the extraoral escape of saliva. It is an embarrassing condition for the affected, causing psychological damage and affecting their sociability, being also uncomfortable for their caregivers. Review: This study carried out a review of national and international scientific literature, consulted in the Scielo, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. This literature review aims to evaluate and describe the therapeutic use of botulinum toxin for the treatment of sialorrhea. Discussion: In the treatment of sialorrhea, botulinum toxin type A (TBA), produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, acts by blocking the release of acetylcholine in the nerve fibers, preventing the production of saliva by the salivary glands, and, without adverse effects, in counterproposal, the other treatments presented have several side effects. Final considerations: The administration of botulinum toxin presents itself as the best alternative in relation to more invasive procedures and the use of anticholinergic drugs that can bring different types of adverse effects.
Keywords: Botulinum Toxins Type A, Salivary glands, Sialorrhea.
