Introduction: Smoking is widely recognized as a risk factor for several eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, glaucoma, and dry eye syndrome. Toxic substances present in cigarettes, such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, directly affect ocular tissues, resulting in oxidative and ischemic damage. This study reviews the literature on the effects of smoking on ocular health, highlighting the main mechanisms involved and the implications for public health. Methodology: A descriptive and analytical literature review was carried out. Scientific articles published between 2000 and 2024 in the PubMed, SciELO, and BVS databases were included. The keywords used were "smoking", "eye health", "cataract", "AMD", "glaucoma", and "dry eye syndrome". Studies that addressed the impact of active and passive smoking on ocular health were selected. Furthermore, clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses were considered. Discussion and Results: The reviewed studies indicate that smoking significantly increases the risk of eye diseases. Smokers are two to four times more likely to develop AMD compared to non-smokers, in addition to a threefold increased risk of cataracts. Smoking also worsens glaucoma, contributing to progressive vision loss due to increased intraocular pressure. Dry eye syndrome has been identified as one of the most common conditions associated with smoking, with reduced tear quality and quantity. Secondhand smoke has also been shown to be harmful, especially in children, increasing the risk of diseases such as AMD and cataracts. Conclusion: Smoking represents an important and modifiable risk factor for the development of several eye diseases. Smoking cessation can significantly reduce the risk of these conditions and their complications. Awareness campaigns should include information on the impacts of smoking on eye health, both for active smokers and for the population exposed to secondhand smoke. Preventive measures, such as promoting eye health and encouraging smoking cessation, are essential for protecting vision.

ARTE E PSICANÁLISE: SUBLIMAÇÃO E CRIAÇÃO NA ARTE E NA CLÍNICA PSICANALÍTICA
Authors: Jorge Rafael José , Ferrari Luíza Bernardini
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to understand the intersection between psychoanalysis and art, focusing on two main aspects: first, art as a drive destination through sublimation; and second, the interactions between artistic creation and creation in psychoanalytic analysis. As a result, it was also observed that the sublimatory process of artistic creation enriches the subjectivity of both the artist and the spectator, connecting individual experiences and fostering cultural progress. Furthermore, the research highlights parallels between artistic creation and psychoanalytic practice, both functioning as pathways for meaning-making and psychic elaboration. Thus, in this context, art emerges as a transformative element that unites subjectivity, culture, and aesthetics.

Authors: Corrêa Adson Higo Menezes , Oliveira Ellis Regina Batista Leal , Azevedo Delner do Carmo
Published: December 2024

O artigo explora a relação entre transparência governamental e proteção de dados no Brasil, com enfoque na interação entre a Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) e a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD). Esses marcos regulatórios são fundamentais para a consolidação democrática, ao promoverem o equilíbrio entre o direito à privacidade e o acesso à informação pública. A análise contextualiza as origens históricas desses direitos, enfatizando que ambos são indispensáveis para a confiança nas instituições públicas e para o fortalecimento da cidadania. O estudo destaca desafios decorrentes da digitalização acelerada e de crises, como a pandemia de COVID-19, que expôs conflitos entre a transparência e a proteção de dados. Exemplos incluem a divulgação de informações de beneficiários de programas sociais, evidenciando tensões entre as exigências da LAI e os princípios da LGPD. Além disso, o texto aborda o uso indevido da LGPD para restringir o acesso a informações públicas, mesmo em situações que não envolvem dados pessoais. Como solução, o artigo propõe a capacitação de agentes públicos, a integração normativa entre LAI, LGPD e outras legislações, além do fortalecimento de mecanismos de controle social. Conclui-se que a governança democrática requer esforços contínuos para harmonizar privacidade e transparência. Esse equilíbrio é essencial para assegurar o respeito aos direitos fundamentais e à dignidade humana, sobretudo em um contexto de crescente vigilância digital. A pesquisa ressalta, ainda, que a coexistência de privacidade e transparência, quando devidamente implementada, reforça a legitimidade das instituições públicas e contribui para a construção de uma democracia robusta e inclusiva.

Gençlerde ve genç yetişkinlerde spora katılım ve yaralanma oranları oldukça yüksektir. Spor, egzersiz veya rekreasyonel aktiviteler sırasında özellikle kas-iskelet sistemi yaralanmaları sıklıkla meydana gelir. Doğru tanı ve uygun tedavi olmadan günlük yaşama, antrenman veya müsabakaya dönmek mümkün olmaz. Çoğu zaman yaralanmalar kronik hale gelerek rekabetçi sporcuların kariyerlerini olumsuz etkiler, eğlence amaçlı sporcuları da en sevdikleri aktiviteleri bırakmaya zorlar. Dolayısıyla optimal iyileşmeyi sağlayacak en doğru tedavi stratejisinin neler olduğuna odaklanmak çok önemlidir. İmmobilizasyon, etkilenen kasın, eklemin veya vücut kısmının hareket etmesini veya ağırlık taşımasını önleyerek yaralanmayı stabilize etmeyi içerir. İmmobilizasyonun kas, tendon, ligament, eklem kıkırdağı, kemik ve sinir yapıda olumsuz sonuçlara neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Ortaya çıkabilecek olumsuz etkileri önlemek, immobilizasyon sürecinin dokular üzerinde neden olduğu değişimleri anlamayı gerektirmektedir. Özellikle immobilizasyona bağlı ortaya çıkan anatomik ve fonksiyonel değişikliklerin erken tespit edilmesi başarılı bir tedavi süreci için kritik rol oynar. Bu derleme, immobilizasyonun dokular üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanmayı ve bu konuda öneriler sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Authors: Budi Bagus Satriya
Published: December 2024

Globally, dyspraxia in early childhood is caused by impaired control function of the vestibular organ utriculus for STNR or saculus for ATNR. It occurs due to incomplete contraction of the uterus during the birth process, leading to failure of proprioceptive formation. It requires about four years to treat dyspraxia with Sensory Integration Praxis Therapy. For physical training and cognitive skills rehabilitation, the PV2T exercise method only requires three months. The magnitude of the effect was measured by the Partial Path Analysis Test. The effects of vestibular, visceroseptic, and tactile alignment by PV2T treatment on the children included the children becoming calm and concentrate, improvements in cognitive skills (balance, gross motor, attention, fine motor, responsiveness, speech language, behavioural attitudes, social independence), and becoming more prepared to play and learn in a classroom at an inclusive school. Out of 69 ADHD children, 67 males and 2 females, 66 children had optimally corrected cognitive skills with the remaining 3 children (4.35%) consisting of 2 females and 1 male child. Out of 34 ADD children, 30 had optimal corrected cognitive skills whereas the remaining 4 children (11.76%) consisting of two boys and two girls were not optimal. The final results of the study showed that PV2T exercise method performed consistently within 3 months had a positive impact on children's cognitive skills. Thus, schools can implement the PV2T method in their inclusion programme.

Authors: Kumari Tripti , Lenka Chandrashree , Guru Dr. Pravabati
Published: December 2024

Undernutrition is acknowledged as a significant public health concern across many developing nations. Anthropometric measures serve as crucial tools for estimating the extent of undernutrition in children globally. The Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF), offers a comprehensive assessment of undernutrition, aggregating various anthropometric indices to identify single or multiple anthropometric failures in children under five. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of undernutrition using anthropometric measures and CIAF among urban slum children. Conducted as a cross-sectional community-based investigation in the slum areas of Sambalpur District, Odisha, India, the study employed standard procedures to measure height and weight anthropometrically. Age-sex-specific Z-score values for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height were calculated. A Z-score below -2.00 for any anthropometric index was indicative of undernourishment. The prevalence of undernutrition was determined using the standard CIAF classification. The study found an overall prevalence of wasting, underweight, stunting, and CIAF at 22.4%, 34.7%, 40.7%, and 58%, respectively. Sex-specific prevalence rates for wasting (23.9% vs. 20.9%), underweight (37.3% vs. 32.2%), stunting (39.9% vs. 41.5%), and CIAF (60.1% vs. 56%) exhibited statistically non-significant differences between boys and girls (p > 0.05). Notably, the investigation highlighted the CIAF's utility as it revealed a higher magnitude of undernutrition compared to conventional anthropometric measures.

The 30 male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups including normal group, negative group, metformin positive group and treated groups which treated by EEBK 100, 200 and 400 mg/kgBW. Alloxan was injected intraperitoneally, metformin and EEBK were given orally for 21 days. The blood of rats was taken through the orbital sinus on day 21. The results showed the total flavonoid content of EEBK was 6.27 mgQE/g. EEBK doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg BW as well as metformin can reduce (p<0.05) creatinine levels, ureum and SGPT activity but only EEBK doses of 200 and 400 mg/kgBW (p<0.05) can reduce SGOT activity. The administration of EEBK doses of 100. 200 and 400 mg / kgBW was able to improve the histopathological picture of the liver. It can be concluded that EEBK has the potential as a nephroprotective and hepatoprotective in diabetic rats (Rattusnorvegicus L) induced by alloxan

The previous study showed that the hydroxyapatite, Epigalocathecine-3-Gallate (EGCG), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HAp-EGCG-HPMC) material has the potential to be combined into a useful material in the field of dentistry, and one of them is as a pulp regeneration material. To determine the safety of the HAp-EGCG-HPMC formulation, the characterization of this new material should be performed using the cytotoxicity and proliferation test. It can show the number of living cells and it can indicate the vitality mechanism in certain proteins, also knowing the cell survival after exposure to HAp-EGCG-HPMC material. The method used to detect cell proliferation is commonly similar to the viability test. The cytotoxicity and proliferation were performed Methods: The HAp-EGCG-HPMC hydrogel was made by dissolving hydroxyapatite powder in distilled water to make a concentration of 1%, 2%, 4% with 10μmol/mL EGCG, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose carriers were added. The cytotoxicity and proliferation in fibroblast cells of HA-EGCG-HPMC hydrogel was done using by CCK-8 dye and read by spectrophotometer with 450nm wavelength. Results: Hydroxyapatite, EGCG, and HPMC hydrogels were nontoxic to fibroblast cells 24 hours after mixing and it can induce proliferation of fibroblast cells. Conclusion: The hydrogel containing hydroxyapatite, EGCG, and HPMC is non-toxic and promotes the proliferation of fibroblast cells, making it suitable as a material for pulp regeneration.
