Optimising staff utilisation in rural animal veterinary practice in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Authors: Brown Francesca
Published: November 2023

Utilisation of veterinary professional staff in rural animal veterinary practice has long been anecdotally reported as poor in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Evidence shows that skill utilisation is poor, and this is likely impacted by the low ratios of non-veterinarian staff to each veterinarian in rural animal veterinary practice. This participative action research utilised focus groups with a range of staff practising in rural animal veterinary practice in Aotearoa / New Zealand, who self-selected as having experience with excellent utilisation. Participants were asked to imagine what a future with excellent utilisation in rural animal veterinary practice in Aotearoa / New Zealand would look like. This research clarifies role definitions of a veterinarian, rural animal veterinary technician and rural animal healthcare assistant, and documents examples of task allocation in an interprofessional team. The participants identified that the outcomes of achieving appropriate utilisation are likely to be beneficial to individuals, the team, animals, clients, and the business profitability, however, a significant number of barriers were identified that may prevent implementation of appropriate utilisation. These included a disconnect between the current rural animal veterinary technician qualifications and the requirement from veterinary clinical practice for specific skills, rather than a full qualification; the current veterinary training pathway not setting up veterinarians to be consultants; lack of regulation of allied veterinary professionals; current skills in the team; lack of trust in technicians from veterinarians; perception of client expectations that a vet will attend; willingness of veterinarians to relinquish control; lack of availability of technical staff; the requirement for veterinarians to provide 27/4 after-hours service; and the risk of technicians leaving after being trained up to go out on their own. Whilst overcoming some of these barriers requires industryled solutions, many can be resolved immediately within individual teams. Therefore, there is no need to wait for industry change to begin creating veterinary teams with excellent utilisation within individual rural animal veterinary practices.
Attitudes to preventative healthcare for cats and dogs in Aotearoa / New Zealand in 20–30-year-olds
Authors: Scott Mikayla , Harvey Laura C. , Cameron Kristie E.
Published: November 2023

Pet ownership has increased in Aotearoa / New Zealand over the last decade, with the largest jump in dog ownership attributed to 18–34-year-olds. With the transitional nature of this age group, considering the increase in independence and responsibility, this survey aimed to measure the attitudes of 20–30-year olds to preventative healthcare of their pets. A survey was disseminated through social media; respondents self-selected their participation and were asked questions about their living situation and management of components of preventative care in their animals, including vaccinations, parasite control and veterinary check-ups. There were 93 usable responses. The findings revealed that most pet owners were renting or were homeowners, with the number of cats owned and the incidence of dog ownership higher than expected in rented homes. Most respondents had knowledge about worm transmission, with living situation and number and type of pets affecting knowledge of worm and flea infestations. The responsibility of health management was assumed by those that made decisions about what types of preventative care was given and who paid for services and treatment. Overall, owners tended to know more about, and provided preventative care and treatment for, parasites that directly affect humans, such as worms, and two thirds of respondents would deworm the household, including pets and humans. Fewer respondents were aware of the effect of fleas, with a variety of treatments used. Knowledge of preventative care, in line with the standards of animal care in Aotearoa / New Zealand, by this age group is reassuring but there could be further compliance with increased awareness of the effects of worms and flea infestations on humans.
Review on Anthelmintic Drug Resistance of Nematodes in Ruminants and Methods of Detection
Authors: Rebuma Tesfaye , Regassa Motuma , Tariku Firaol
Published: November 2023

Anthelmintic resistance (AR) is described as a considerable improvement in the capacity of individuals within a strain of parasites to tolerate dosages of a substance that would be deadly to the vast majority of individuals in a normal population of the same species. The detection and monitoring of AR have been carried out using a variety of techniques, both in vivo and in vitro. All classes of antiparasitic medications have failed to work as intended due to frequent and improper use, which has resulted in an international AR crisis. When the same drugs are overused, AR is likely to emerge. This frequently results from underdosing, improper application of the drenching solution, and poor estimation of body weight. The issue of AR is a major one in Ethiopia and is frequently reported from many regions of the nation; nevertheless, the rural population is unaware of these issues with AR.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: The main objective of this research was to investigate the antimalarial therapeutic potential of the ethanolic extract of the leaves and roots of Alstonia boonei, a West African medicinal plant that is used for the traditional treatment of malaria, fever, and other parasitic diseases. There is a need to scientifically evaluate various plants utilized in the ancient treatment of diseases as they might be potential sources of new modern drugs; thus, the importance of this study is obvious. Methods: The extracts were subjected to in vivo antimalarial tests in mice in order to determine their efficacy against malaria infection. These materials exhibited dose–dependent antimalarial activity (P<0.05), as indicated by suppressive and curative effects on mice infected with doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weights of the Plasmodium berghei malaria parasite. Results: The suppressive test of the extracts revealed a significant dose–dependent early infection suppression at P<0.05. Conclusion: Based on the results, the plant should be further examined to analyze its bioactive compounds and position it as a potential source of new and novel molecules for antimalarial drug development.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Buffaloes are one of the most valuable animals for humans. They are an important source of milk and meat around the world. This research aimed to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in the fecal samples of male calves in the Gandaki Rural Municipality, Gorkha, Nepal. Further, it sought to record different GI parasites and review their zoonotic probabilities in humans. Methods: Fresh fecal samples (N=50) from 50 buffalo calves were opportunistically collected and stored at 2.5% potassium dichromate. Then, they were processed via direct mount and acid-fast techniques and observed on a compound microscope. Results: The prevalence rates of 100% intestinal parasites were present, with 11 species of GI parasites. Zoonotically possible species were Cryptosporidium, Balantidium coli, Entamoeba. coli, Ascarid, and Fasciola hepatica. Conclusion: The findings revealed that the male calves were heavily parasitized by diverse intestinal parasitic species, indicating the necessity of quick and effective antiparasitic treatment in the future. In addition, the treatment will be necessary to prevent zoonotic parasites that can impact public health, especially nearby environment and humans.

Authors: Shirkavand Afshan , Akhavan Tavakoli Maryam , Ebrahimpour Zeinab
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called Photobiomodulation, has gained widespread acceptance as a mainstream modality, particularly in the form of photobiostimulation (PBM). Here in our review, we aim to present the application of LLLT to help with depression, explore potential action mechanisms and pathways, discuss existing limitations, and address the challenges associated with its clinical implementation. Method: In biological systems, the visible light with a wavelength range of 400–700 nm activates photoreceptors involved in vision and circadian rhythm regulation. The near-infrared (NIR) light with a wavelength range of 800-1100 nm exhibits superior tissue penetration capabilities compared to the visible light, which enables the non-invasive application of LLLT to various tissues. Results: By enhancing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production using the respiratory chain, LLLT is able to enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, support repair and healing, and enhance stem cell growth and proliferation. Preclinical studies using animal models have shown promising neuroprotective effects of the LLLT method on central nervous system (CNS) diseases, suggesting potential improvements in brain function for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, it helps Parkinson’s patients with their movement problems and ameliorates mental disorders in individuals with depression. Conclusion: patients’ quality of life can be significantly enhanced. A comprehensive understanding of the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of LLLT will facilitate its therapeutic application in the future.
A Meaning of the revision of the so-called 『Investigation Rules』 and future tasks
Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Procedure Law, Jeong Oung-Seok
Published: November 2023

Looking at the revision of the investigation rules, the procedural part (maintenance of various investigation deadlines) has been reorganized, but there is no particular content. In other words, it is only a standard for the investigation period that the prosecution and police should follow step by step so that the case can be systematically managed and investigated quickly.
Nevertheless, there is no reason why some politicians or the media are criticizing it, saying it is “the restoration of the prosecution” or “the deprivation of the police's right to terminate the investigation”. This is because the revision of some provisions of the investigation rules is not to criminalize the “right to terminate the investigation of the police”, but to promote the handling of the case more fairly and quickly. If the police's judgment is always correct, there is no need to request a reinvestigation or request a transfer. However, the police's judgment cannot always be right, neither the prosecution nor the court. Therefore, it is reasonable to have a judicial supplementary device (complementary investigation by prosecutors, reinvestigation, etc.) whether it is a police case or a non-repatriation case, and it is questionable what it will mean to protect the rights of the people. Above all, the debate on investigative rights is not a matter of power struggle between the prosecution and the police, but a matter of whether it is reasonable for the police to handle the case on its own in consideration of the efficiency of the investigation or the inconvenience of the prosecution or reinvestigation.
In conclusion, I hope that it will be an in-depth discussion, such as whether the revision of the investigation rules “before” or “after” is better for the people, and whether the lawyers in the field agree or disagree. It is understandable that he hates the current government or the prosecution, but the victim is not the current government or the prosecution, but the people.

Authors: Andrienko K.Yu.
Published: November 2023

Background. The question of distribution of masticatory pressure is one of the main branches in quali­tive manufacturing of removable constructions. With the development of software, as well as with the increase in the power of computer technology has also spread to the problems of biomechanics, in particular the biomechanics of the human oral cavity.

The aim of our study was to analyze the results of using the method of finite element techniques with the purpose to improve the quality of prosthetic treatment by correct modeling constructional denture elements.

Materials and Methods. The study involved 45 patients aged 44–73 years (mean age 59.2±4.3) treated with complete laminar prosthetic constructions for the upper jaw and lower jaw. A powerful method was developed to solve the problems of the theory of elasticity – the finite element method. The main idea is that the body under the study is divided into a finite number of subdomains or elements on which the desired continuous function is approximated by a polynomial (consists of piecewise continuous functions). A two-dimensional quadrangular element with four nodes was chosen as the partition element. Dividing it into elements and further solving the problem was in the ANSYS Mechanical APDL package (USA).

Results. Regarding the calibration of the ultimate displacements of nodal points and as a result of the distribution of masticatory pressure under the basis of a complete removable dentures on the tissues of the prosthetic area, the average values of each plane were as follows: for section PM1 – the plane with high pressure was ([675298.14±5.21] m2K). Taking the PM2 region, the values were slightly higher ([369743.3±3.9] m2K) and ([735356.34±4.52] m2K), respectively.

Conclusions. Our findings suggest direct relationship between the using of mathematical calculation of material volume, volume deformation, potential data and elasticity theory as auxiliary element in the manufacture of removable dentures and, as a result, direct influence on level of quality of following constructions.

Keywords: orthopedic treatment, finite element method, complete removable dentures, tension theory, deformation.

Authors: Sodnomov Aleksandr
Published: November 2023

The article considers the use of geo-information systems to clarify information about cultural heritage sites, when maintaining the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Peoples of the Russian Federation. For these purposes, was reconstructed exact parcels plan of the southern part of the historical center of Ulan-Ude (Verkhneudinsk) mid-XIX—early XX centuries. A technique is described based on the geo-referencing of areas adjacent to conventionally named supporting intersections that allow them to be geolocated accurately, as well as the use of cross-comparison of data from various sources, such as historical master plans, drawings of parcels of city estates, tax documents and modern topographic plans. Currently the study is in the works and it covers less than half of the historical center of the city (more than 90 parcels), which contains about half of the cultural heritage sites of the entire historical center of Ulan-Ude. The stages of research work are shown step by step: working with archival data, comparing the owners of parcels in various periods, the process of geo-linking drawings and plans, analyzing the state of streets in the present and past, the search, vectorization of historical drawings of parcels, buildings and structures is described, the translation from Old Russian measures of length to metric using computer-aided design systems is noted. On the basis of the study, work was carried out to clarify information about the object of cultural heritage of regional significance—the ensemble “Usad’ba kupchikhi Chernykh” (“Estate of the merchant Chernykh”). This documentation has successfully passed the state historical and cultural examination.

Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the formation of a model of tourism development of the Orlinovsky municipal district using GIS technologies. The research was performed as part of the development of a “Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Orlinovsky Municipal District” using economic-mathematical, socio-communicative, recreational-geographical scientific approaches. With the help of the QGIS software package, a database of natural and cultural-historical attractions, infrastructure facilities, tourist and recreational routes of the Orlinovsky Municipal District has been compiled and appropriate thematic layers have been created. This made it possible to develop the basic principles for the development of a model of sustainable tourism in the Orlinovsky Municipal District with the launch of a pilot experimental project for the integrated development of the territory. The goal is to preserve natural heritage and define the category of “particularly valuable lands” with the concentration of new business, tourist and recreational activities in one point in the district. The following solutions are proposed: changing the status of lands—highlighting the category of “particularly valuable lands” (land of protected areas, the entire water protection territory and lands located inside the ring road passing around the reservoir) and “development points” (territories with an area of at least 200 hectares with better logistics and transport accessibility, on which new social, tourist, recreational and business facilities will be created, utility and energy infrastructure will be provided—presumably the area of the village of Tylovoe, and in the future several areas as “growth points”); activation of entrepreneurial initiatives; formation of additional tourist display facilities and attractions; involvement of local communities in the tourist and recreational development of the territory; creation of a visitor center, etc. For sustainable development, it is necessary to create a master plan for the development of the Orlinovsky Municipal District, taking into account the priority tourist and recreational focus.
Development of methods for representation on maps of the infrastructure for means of individual mobility in Moscow
Authors: Kornilov Daniil , Prohorova Elena
Published: November 2023

The number of cyclists and users of personal mobility aids in Moscow is growing every year, while building the necessary facilities, providing security and managing the cycling network has not always kept pace with such rapid growth. The construction of infrastructure for means of individual mobility involves planning and designing it depending on the places of attraction of target audiences (universities, transport hubs, parks and the most popular streets for cyclists). At the same time, a cartographic vision of the problem is necessary at all stages. A review of works on the possibilities of depicting cycling infrastructure and the movement of cyclists on the streets of the city shows little experience in presenting this topic on maps. The main function of existing maps is to display the actual position of linear and point objects of cycling without a spatial analysis of their position. The article shows the possibilities of infrastructure mapping for means of individual mobility and solves the problem of finding reliable and up-to-date sources of statistical and cartographic data. The information collected in the course of urban and field surveys of the urban space of Moscow was processed and systematized. A database of bicycle infrastructure objects has been formed, which includes vector and raster representations of data, the results of field and statistical studies. Based on it, methods for visualizing the obtained data have been developed. The paper formulates the basic requirements for the cartographic basis for creating infrastructure maps, shows various techniques and ways of depicting phenomena, which made it possible to clearly demonstrate the results of the study. Considering the visualization possibilities found, maps of the cycling infrastructure were compiled, highlighting its main elements and types.

Published: November 2023

The high growth rate of the population of Moscow determines the development of new territories, an increase in the density of buildings, which requires a constant increase in the number of social infrastructure facilities. Particular attention in spatial development projects is paid to the placement of primary educational facilities, namely preschool educational institutions. The study emphasizes the important role of the rational placement of these facilities in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts of Moscow, as a prerequisite for the effective development of the educational system in these areas. The authors calculated the provision of districts with preschool educational institutions, considering their design capacity and the actual need in order to solve the problem of lack of educational places. Graphic materials of the obtained research results were generated in the QGIS geographic information system. As a result of the work, parameters for the classification of settlements were determined; analyzed and mapped spatial information on the objects of preschool education in Novomoskovsk and Troitsk administrative districts. The initial data in the QGIS GIS system were materials from the website of the Department of Education and Science of the city of Moscow, as well as information from open sources and official pages of educational organizations. Based on the classification of settlements in the studied districts obtained during the study, cartographic images were generated that clearly display the availability of preschool education institutions in the territories of New Moscow. The authors singled out the settlements of New Moscow in terms of indicators characterizing the level of provision of these territories with objects of preschool education relative to standard indicators. The final version of the cartographic images of the resulting classification was created using the Layout Manager tool in the QGIS GIS system. The result of the work was the classification of settlements, reflected on the map, which allows (considering current data) to visualize the location of preschool educational organizations in the districts of New Moscow. The results of research and mapping may be taken into account during development of the Master Plans of the districts.

Published: November 2023

Specially protected natural areas in urban area are significant elements of green infrastructure, since they not only serve as a buffer zone or biodiversity conservation hotspot but also provide a large number of ecosystem services (mainly regulating, supporting, and cultural). At the same time, natural geosystems of protected areas in urbanized territories experience a complex negative anthropogenic impact: chemical and physical pollution, reduction of unsealed territories, violation of the landscape aesthetic, etc. “Vorobyovy Gory” nature reserve in Moscow on the picturesque slopes of the Moscow River valley has a unique biodiversity for a large city (more than 35 species of herbaceous plants and the same number of bird species living in the specially protected natural area are listed in the Red Book of Moscow), as well as a rich historical and cultural heritage. However, nowadays the nature reserve is under great anthropogenic pressure associated, among other things (such as air pollution, surface runoff, etc.), with changes in the land-use structure (construction of a new sports complex, installation of additional lighting poles, laying of new roads), installation of artificial landscape lighting systems, etc. All this leads to adverse changes in “Vorobyovy Gory” nature reserve ecosystems, which can lead to the loss of its conservation functions. The analysis of land-use dynamics on intensively transformed areas of the nature reserve was presented, endangered species of plants and animals were identified in this work. Maps of anthropogenic objects and detected ecosystem disturbances in the “Vorobyovy Gory” nature reserve (including the area affected by landscape lighting) were made.

Introduction: A frequent clinical manifestation of Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is the development of thrombosis. To identify the state of hypercoagulation it is relevant and promising to introduce global tests for evaluating the hemostasis — the thrombin generation test (TGT) and thromboelastography (TEG).

   Aim: to evaluate the parameters of thrombin generation and thromboelastography in patients with Ph-negative MPN.

   Material and methods. In total, 62 patients with MNP were included in the study: 27 with polycythemia vera (PV), 14 with essential thrombocythemia (ET) and 21 with primary myelofibrosis (PMF). The control group included 55 practically healthy individuals, comparable in gender and age (19 people in the study of TEG, 36 people in the study of TGT). The TEG was performed using a “TEG 5000” thromboelastograph. TGT was measured with Calibrated Automated Thrombinography.

   Results: Ly30 and Ly60 in TEG in patients were significantly lower (0.35 (0.20–0.48), 0.00 (0.00–0.40) and 0.00 (0.00 — 0.43) and 3.15 (2.45–3.60), 1.25 (0.10–3.58) and 0.60 (0.00–3.05) respectively), than in the control (1.60 (1.05–2.75) and 6.20 (4.15–8.30), respectively), which indicates the ineffectiveness of fibrinolysis. The values of MA and G in patients with ET and PV significantly exceeded the control (69.15 (67.98–70.78) mm and 65.20 (59.65–63.83) mm versus 62.00 (57.75–6.75) mm and 11.20 (10.60–12.15) din/cm2 and 9.40 (7.40–11.60) din/cm2 versus 8.20 (6.85–8.75) din/cm2, respectively. The most pronounced change in sensitivity to TM was observed in patients with ET (27.94 (17.35–43.58) % and 13.29 (-3.48–23.60) %, respectively; p < 0.05). A significant decrease in ETP was observed in patients with PV and PMF.

   Conclusion. The study of hemostasis in patients with MPN using TEG and TGT revealed the presence of multidirectional changes associated with the disease. The TEG showed that an increase in the time required for the onset of fibrin formation is combined with increased clot strength and inhibited fibrinolysis, which are risk factors for the development of thromboembolic complications. The study of TGT determined a decrease in the quantitative characteristics of thrombin generation and at the same time the failure of the anticoagulant system of protein C, leading to the development of hypercoagulation.

Authors: عباس فاضل هادي  , بهحت بهلول كاظم  , حمد رحمن جبر
Published: November 2023

The optical characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) monolayer formations in GaP. According to the predicted binding energies, the GaP monolayers are in constant contact. GaP monolayer was revealed to be semiconducting, with gaps of 2.080 eV. Furthermore, the predicted optical properties indicate that the GaP monolayer will absorb light at wavelengths ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. As a result, GaP monolayer should be appealing for visible-light communication and photocatalytic devices. It is possible to determine that this layer is kinematically stable by studying the form of the phonon, as all frequencies have positive values and there are no negative values for frequency. It is also worth noting that the frequency values exceed 1150 cm-1. Finally, the unexpectedly good properties of GaP monolayer are expected to be used in a variety of combinations in solar cells, field-effect transistors, catalysts, and optical devices.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the sufferer's body cannot automatically control the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. In a healthy body, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin, which is responsible for transporting sugar through the blood to the muscles and other tissues to supply energy. Glucose normally circulates in a certain amount in the blood. Glucose is formed in the liver (hepar) from the food consumed. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of adherence of diabetic patients in taking DM medication at the Antara Public Health Center in Makassar City. The method used in this research is descriptive, namely research that includes surveys with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires. This research was conducted at the Antara Public Health Center, Makassar City. This research was conducted in June 2021 by distributing questionnaires to 58 respondents or the public according to the criteria. The results of this study indicate that the evaluation of diabetes patient compliance in taking diabetes mellitus medication at the Makassar City Public Health Center obtained a percentage of adherence, namely 80.09%, so that it is included in the high compliance level category.

Background: Prophylactic antibiotic usage is important for preventing surgical site wound infections and related complications following caesarean delivery, which can lead to maternal morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and increased treatment costs. Despite the recommendation for a single dose of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, clinicians are hesitant to adopt this approach due to variations in patient characteristics and concerns about aseptic techniques. Objective: To compare the efficacy of a single-antibiotic regimen versus multiple antibiotics in caesarean section procedures. Materials and Methods: It was a randomized clinical trial study. It was carried out in Obs and Gynae, North East Medical College, Sylhet, Bangladesh during the period of January 2022 to June 2022. The study included pregnant women above 34 weeks of gestation admitted to the hospital undergone elective or emergency caesarean delivery for singleton pregnancy. Total 92 sample patients with 46 patients in each group. Study involved two groups. Group A received Amoxicillin single antibiotic. Group B received multiple antibiotics. Statistical data calculations were done using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS Inc., Version 25.0, Chicago, IL, USA) and Chi-square test was done. The p- value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: There were 46 patients in each group. Baseline characteristics, indications for caesarean delivery, duration of operation, duration of hospital stay and difficulties were similar. Post- operative morbidities like wound infection did not differ significantly (P>0.05). None of the women needed prolong hospital stay. Conclusion: The current study found no statistically significant difference in the outcome measures among the two study groups receiving different prophylactic regimens for caesarean delivery. Therefore, it can be concluded that both single and multiple antibiotics provide equally effective protection in reducing maternal .......

Published: November 2023

Os tumores colorretais englobam cânceres que afetam o cólon ou o reto, sendo notáveis pela sua prevalência global e impacto significativo na saúde, sendo a ressecção cirúrgica uma abordagem fundamental no tratamento desses tumores, visando remover as áreas afetadas e potencialmente curar a doença. Diversas técnicas cirúrgicas são exploradas, desde abordagens tradicionais, como a ressecção convencional, até procedimentos mais recentes, como a cirurgia laparoscópica e robótica. A escolha da técnica cirúrgica apropriada é crucial para otimizar os resultados clínicos e a qualidade de vida pós-operatória dos pacientes.

Alguns estudos abordam as potenciais diferenças fisiopatológicas entre as duas técnicas anastomóticas. Acredita-se que a EA esteja associada a um trauma cirúrgico mais significativo, devido a incisões cutâneas mais longas necessárias para acessar manualmente o intestino. A realização da EA em um ambiente extrabdominal também pode contribuir para uma maior tração no mesentério, aumentando o risco de lesões serosas e sangramento intraoperatório, o que pode prejudicar a recuperação pós-operatória e aumentar as taxas de morbidade.

A escolha da técnica cirúrgica adequada é crucial para alcançar resultados clínicos favoráveis e aprimorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Além disso, ao identificar lacunas no conhecimento e áreas que demandam pesquisas adicionais, este trabalho contribui para o avanço contínuo na área, promovendo o desenvolvimento de estratégias terapêuticas mais eficazes. O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar as técnicas mais utilizadas para ressecção de tumores colorretais, assim como sua eficácia e complicações.

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as manifestações bucais acometidas pela COVID-19 através de relatos de casos e estudos publicados, nos quais é apresentada uma possível relação entre COVID-19 e lesões mucocutâneas na cavidade oral e no rosto. Sua metodologia foi de revisão nas bases de dados PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest e Medline Complete. Foram selecionados 26 artigos que relatam manifestações mucocutâneas em cavidade oral e face associadas à COVID-19. Foram encontrados 91 casos com manifestações mucocutâneas em cavidade oral e face, associadas à COVID-19. Em 18% dos pacientes havia lesões faciais e orais. As bochechas foram as áreas mais acometidas (16%) e das lesões orais o local mais acometido foi a língua (26%). Conclui-se que de acordo com os achados, a presença de manifestações mucocutâneas na face e na cavidade oral estão associadas à infecção por SARS-CoV-2. Espera-se que tecidos com maior expressão de ACE2 e TMPRSS2 sejam mais suscetíveis à infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 e, consequentemente, apresentem algum tipo de lesão. Dentre os tecidos bucais com maior expressão dessas moléculas, foi descrito a língua, o que favoreceria maior prevalência de lesões.
