Published: December 2018

Purpose. The study of the daily variability of arterial stiffness indicators, depending on the category of cardiovascular risk. 

Materials and methods. The study consistently included patients with essential hypertension who were admitted to the cardiology department of the Volga district medical center from November 1, 2015 to October 1, 2017. The study involved 134 patients with an average age of 52±1 years. Depending on the category of total cardiovascular risk, the patients were divided into 3 groups from I (lowest risk) to III (highest risk). The analysis was carried out on ABPM for 12–14 days (BPLab system of “Peter Telegin” firm). Determined: glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the thickness of the intima-media of the common carotid arteries, analysis of the lipid spectrum. For statistical analysis of clinical and instrumental data, a T-criterion for independent samples was used and an ANOVA analysis was performed. A correlation analysis was performed.

 Results. Patients of group III had the highest level of av. SBP (рI–III=0.010; pII–III=0.020) and mean pulse BP (PBP) (рI–III=0.002; pII–III=0.002), also more unfavorable the indicators cALALx (pI–II=0.025; рI–III=0.004), varAlx (рI–III=0.004) and av. ASI (рI–III=0.034). When comparing the data of patients of groups II and III, adjusted for gender and age, it was found that statistically significant differences between the groups of varPAD (pII–III=0.008), AASI (рI–III=0.043), varAlx (pII–III=0.049), as well as a pronounced tendency for varASI (pII–III=0.050). Markers of target organ damage (TIM, LVML, GFR) were more pronounced in the high-risk group. As the risk group increased, the level of HDL decreased (рI–III=0.002; pII–IIII=0.0001), the level of TG increased (рI–III=0.007; pII–III=0.009) and the CA (рI–III=0.015). The total cholesterol level was lower in patients of group III compared to group II (pII–III=0.004). Statistically signifi nt relationships of arterial wall stiffness indicators with age were found: crAlx (0.467, p<0.001), varAlx (0.272, p<0.01), cpASI (0.227, p<0.01), varASI (0.407, p<0.001). In addition, women showed significant correlations of medium and high strength between age and mean values of mean SPD (r = 0.490, p<0.05), varPAD (r=0.540, p<0.05), avAS (r=0.460, p<0.05) and varASI (r=0.620, p<0.05). VarASI and WedSASI were most closely associated with the level of SRSAD and SRPAD. Only cASI was associated with GFR, and only varASI was associated with the parameters of the lipid spectrum (HSLPVP, TG, KA and LVMI. 

Conclusion. The most statistically significant dynamics was observed when evaluating varASI, which varied in the sequence I gr. <II gr. < III gr. Corrected by sex and age, the analysis showed a greater variability in arterial stiffness in high-risk patients.

Published: December 2018

Background: Gallstone formation is a common complication after bariatric surgery. Pure restrictive procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric banding theoretically should result in less gallstone formation because the food continues to follow the normal gastrointestinal tract.Methods: This study is prospective and retrospective study will be done on fifty (50) patients with morbid obesity in General Surgery Department Menoufiya University Hospitals and will be followed up after bariatric surgery.Results: There were 50 patients, 43 were females (86%) and 7 were males (14%), 39 were done sleeve gastrectomy (78%) and 11 were done mini gastric bypass (22%) and 31 with BMI less than 40 (62%) and 19 with BMI more than 40 (38%). Present study revealed that role of bariatric surgery in gallstones formation postoperatively is statically significant according to parameters as weight loss of more than 25% of original weight was one of the predictive postoperative factors.Conclusions: With assessment of values of risk factors for gallbladder diseases after bariatric surgery there were significance of degree of weight loss more than 25% of original body weight, the 1st 6 months after surgery, BMI more than 40 kg/m2 and type of surgery as gastric bypass is more gallstone formation than pure restrictive surgery as sleeve gastrectomy.

Published: December 2018

Background: Postoperative pain after open mesh repair of inguinal hernia is an important challenge. Such type of pain sometimes does not respond to medical treatment including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opiates. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of preservation or division of the Ilioinguinal nerve on pain and post-operative symptoms, after open mesh repair of inguinal hernia.Methods: All patients undergoing surgery for tension free Lichtenstein mesh repair over a period of 1 year were included. Patients below the age of 18 years and patients with bilateral or recurrent hernias were excluded.Results: In present study of 42 patients, early mean postoperative pain at day 1 was 1.8 on VAS scale in ilioinguinal neurectomised patient compared to 1.5 in nerve preserved group (P=0.1408). Postoperative pain at week 1 was 1.25 in neurectomised patients compared to 1.32 in nerve preserved group (P=0.7161). Late Postoperative pain and chronic groin pain was 0.6 and 0.25 at 1 and 3 months respectively in ilioinguinal neurectomised patients as compared to 1.05 and 0.77 at 1 and 3 months respectively in nerve preserved group (P=0.0184 at 1month and P=0.0335 at 3 months).Conclusions: The difference in postoperative pain at day 1 and at week 1 was not significant and both groups had equal pain. Late postoperative pain (at 1 month) and chronic groin pain (at 3 months) was significantly low in ilioinguinal neurectomised patient compared to nerve preserved group.

DAS IMAGENS QUE HABITAM UM PENSAMENTO DE CURRÍCULO-PESQUISA
Authors: Vier Munhoz Angélica , Zanotelli Alissara , Munhoz Roos Bibiana
Published: December 2018

Toma-se inicialmente a noção de imagem do pensamento a partir do filósofo francês, Gilles Deleuze. E a partir disso, busca-se rastrear, ainda que brevemente, tal conceito em suas obras, sem nenhuma pretensão de esgotar a aproximação com o referido conceito, até porque essa noção percorre, em alguma medida, toda a filosofia deleuziana. O que interessa aqui, é compreender como esse conceito opera, quais seus pressupostos e movimentos. Em um segundo momento, a tentativa é de imaginar um pensamento de currículo-pesquisa apartado do pensamento da representação ou de uma imagem dogmática do pensamento, tal como nomeia Deleuze (1976). Novamente não há uma pretensão de fazer um agenciamento de tais noções, mas tomar o conceito de imagem do pensamento, tão caro a Deleuze, para pensar um currículo capaz de produzir desdobramentos no pensamento, engendrando novas e outras imagens. Pretende-se, assim, tensionar as imagens de currículo que povoam as ideias, preenchem o pensamento, para, por outra via, reivindicar um pensamento de currículo sem modelo ou forma. Nesse meio, traz-se outros autores para pensar, tais como Benjamin (2007, 2012a, 2012b), Calvino (2010), entre outros. Por fim, busca-se arremessar o currículo a um plano de pensamento em que linhas de escrita, entrecruzamentos de conceitos, intersecções de práticas se tornem possíveis, entremeio a uma vida de pesquisa. O presente ensaio é escrito em meio a um estudo específico de um grupo de pesquisa, cujo objetivo é aproximar os movimentos do pensamento das discussões curriculares.

This study aims to examine the income-health gradient and empirically test the probability of the dependent variable on the child's health status, especially the role of insurance variables, and maternal variables working on children's health status. The use of these 2 (two) variables aims to reduce the social-economic relationship between family income and children's health status. The results of replication from Park's study (2010) showed different income-health gradient results. In this study the results of income-health gradient occurred in school-age children in the 2000-2007 panel data and income-health gradient occurred in the 2007-2014 panel data for preschool and school-aged children, in contrast to Park's (2010) income-health gradient results. only occurs in preschoolers. The role of insurance variables has not been able to reduce the relationship of family income and children's health, while the working mothers variable can reduce the relationship of family income and child health only on the 2000-2007 panel data. Supervision and improvement of insurance facilities by the government as a solution to improve children's health in an effort to break the chain of intergenerational poverty, and increase the program of increasing the proportion of the population with calorie intake below the consumption level of 1400 kcal / capita / day.

Monochloramine dissipation in storm sewer systems: field testing and model development
Authors: Zhang Qianyi , Gaafar Mohamed , Davies Evan G. R. , Bolton James R. , Liu Yang
Published: December 2018

Monochloramine (NH2Cl), as the dominant disinfectant in drinking water chloramination, can provide long-term disinfection in distribution systems. However, NH2Cl can also be discharged into storm sewer systems and cause stormwater contamination through outdoor tap water uses. In storm sewer systems, NH2Cl dissipation can occur by three pathways: (i) auto-decomposition, (ii) chemical reaction with stormwater components, and (iii) biological dissipation. In this research, a field NH2Cl dissipation test was conducted with continuous tap water discharge into a storm sewer. The results showed a fast decrease of NH2Cl concentration from the discharge point to the sampling point at the beginning of the discharge period, while the rate of decrease decreased as time passed. Based on the various pathways involved in NH2Cl decay and the field testing results, a kinetic model was developed. To describe the variation of the NH2Cl dissipation rates during the field testing, a time coefficient fT was introduced, and the relationship between fT and time was determined. After calibration through the fT coefficient, the kinetic model described the field NH2Cl dissipation process well. The model developed in this research can assist in the regulation of tap water outdoor discharge and contribute to the protection of the aquatic environment.
COMBATING CRIME WITH THE HELP OF CRIMINALISTICS
Authors: Smakhtin E. , Sharapov R.
Published: December 2018

This comparative study examines the issue of combating crime with criminalistic methods. It focuses on the role and significance of criminalistics in the system of substantive and criminal procedural law as a science standing at the forefront of the fight against crime. The criminals and their offenses as well as the investigation of criminal cases and judicial proceedings are the objects of the analysis. The correlation between the criminal sciences and general trends in the development of a number of European and BRICS countries (with China as an example) has been emphasized. Joint research into the most pressing problems of combating crime is believed to improve the efficiency of law enforcement activities. From this perspective, there is a need to develop a universal framework of categories and concepts which will help to create a unified forensic area in Europe and the BRICS countries.

Published: December 2018

OBJECTIVE

Successful self-management of type 1 diabetes requires cognitive skills such as executive functioning (EF). In the transition to adolescence, youth take over responsibility for diabetes management. We set out to test: 1) the association between EF and glycemic control over time and 2) whether this association was moderated by: a) youth, shared, or parent responsibility for diabetes management and b) youth’s age.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Within the Diabetes IN DevelOpment study (DINO), parents of youth with type 1 diabetes (8–15 years at baseline; N = 174) completed a yearly assessment over 4 years. Glycemic control (HbA1c) was derived from hospital charts. Youth’s EF was measured using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF)-parent report. The Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire (DFRQ)-parent report was used to assess diabetes responsibility (youth, shared, and parent). Linear generalized estimating equations were used to analyze data including youth’s sex, age, and age of diabetes onset as covariates.

RESULTS

Relatively more EF problems are significantly associated with higher HbA1c over time (β = 0.190; P = 0.002). More EF problems in combination with less youth responsibility (β = 0.501; P = 0.048) or more parental responsibility (β = −0.767; P = 0.006) are significantly associated with better glycemic control over time. Only age significantly moderates the relationship among EF problems, shared responsibility, and glycemic control (β = −0.024; P = 0.019).

CONCLUSIONS

Poorer EF is associated with worse glycemic control over time, and this association is moderated by responsibility for diabetes management tasks. This points to the importance of EF when youth take over responsibility for diabetes management in order to achieve glycemic control.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the prevalence of cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) in subjects with type 1 diabetes compared with healthy control subjects and to characterize the diabetes-related factors associated with SVD.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This substudy was cross-sectional in design and included 191 participants with type 1 diabetes and median age 40.0 years (interquartile range 33.0–45.1) and 30 healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects. All participants underwent clinical investigation and brain MRIs, assessed for cerebral SVD.

RESULTS

Cerebral SVD was more common in participants with type 1 diabetes than in healthy control subjects: any marker 35% vs. 10% (P = 0.005), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) 24% vs. 3.3% (P = 0.008), white matter hyperintensities 17% vs. 6.7% (P = 0.182), and lacunes 2.1% vs. 0% (P = 1.000). Presence of CMBs was independently associated with systolic blood pressure (odds ratio 1.03 [95% CI 1.00–1.05], P = 0.035).

CONCLUSIONS

Cerebral SVD, CMBs in particular, is more common in young people with type 1 diabetes compared with healthy control subjects.

In the fall of 2017 Kunsthal Aarhus presented the first “solo” exhibition in Denmark by the contemporary Chinese artist Song Dong. The non-monographic exhibition was entitled Collaborations – hence the quotation marks – and focused on collaborative forms. The title of the exhibition accentuates Song’s strong interest in artistic collaborations – often involving members of his own family. On display was both some of the artist’s best-known works and new creations. Song’s work often focuses on family relations and geopolitics. They have a powerful way of expressing the effects of radical change and social transformation on members of his own family. He strives to combine the past and the present, the personal and the universal, the poetic and the political. Collaboratively. In Kunsthal Aarhus each gallery was dedicated to one chapter of Song Dong’s artistic practice and collaborations, offering an overview of his diverse practice that embraces performance, installation, video and photography.
Genealogi Post Truth

Makalah ini menguraikan asal muasal konsep dan praktik post truth. Bahwasanya potensi terjadinya post truth bisa diselusuri mulai dari gua Plato manakala orang membicarakan mengenai realitas atau kebenaran.  Ketika orang-orang bersaing memperebutkan pengaruh, kebenaran dipelintir melalui pembentukan public opinion, pengembangan manufacturing consent,  ataupun pelaksanaan construction of reality.  Sambil memanfaatkan kekuatan media, para pelaku post truth membuat berbagai statement of events dalam bentuk Discourse (dengan D besar) yang menguntungkan dirinya dan atau merugikan pesaingnya. Untuk itu mereka secara sadar menyeleksi  fakta yang akan dimunculkan (framing), memilih tanda yang digunakan (signing) dan mengatur penyebarluasannya (priming). Dapat ditelusuri juga, post truth bukan hanya terjadi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari pada bidang ekonomi, politik, jurnalisme, melainkan pula dalam bidang ilmu pengengetahuan (science)

Introduction: the term drunkorexia refers to the act of self-imposed utilization of extreme weight control methods to compensate for alcohol consumption typically observed among university students. Despite its diffusion, there is a lack of research investigating the presence of this new alarming trend in Italy. Aim: this study estimates the frequency of drunkorexia behaviours in a sample of Italian youth aged 14-24, explores the motivations for alcohol consumption among those presenting drunkorexia-type behaviours, and examines the relationship between drunkorexia and disordered eating. Methods: drunkorexia behaviors, eating habits and motives for alcohol use were investigated in 403 subjects (F=301, M=102) aged 14-24 through self-report questionnaires. A series of analyses, including descriptive statistics, univariate analysis of the variance and multiple regressions were run. Results: 62.5% of the sample showed drunkorexia-type behaviours. Drunkorexia was related to disordered eating, especially among females older than eighteen. Discussion and Conclusions: this the first study investigating the incidence of drunkorexia behaviors in a sample of youth living in Northern Italy. Evidence-based interventions for eating disorders and drinking problems should inspire the development of ad hoc preventive and treatment actions for drunkorexia.
Do subjects with obesity understimate their body size? A Narrative review of estimation methods and explaining theories
Authors: Granese Valentina , Pietrabissa Giada , Manzoni Gian Mauro
Published: December 2018

The widespread of overweight and obesity in the developed countries is a real societal issue, nevertheless a considerable amount of subjects with obesity do not recognize their condition. Researchers used different methods to assess body size perception by obese subjects and the results show that while some subjects with obesity estimate accurately or overestimate their body size, others underestimate their weight and their body size measures. A failure to identify overweight or obesity has serious consequences on the subject’s health, as it is widely recognised that self-awareness is the first step to engage in a rehabilitation program. The spread of obesity underestimation and its implications make the case for a new hypothetical body image disorder, which has been called Fatorexia™. It consists in the significant underestimation of body size by subjects with obesity, as they are unable or unwilling to acknowledge their condition. Some researchers proposed a social explanation to the underestimation phenomenon, but here an alternative hypothesis, the Allocentric Lock Theory (ALT), is outlined to describe the mechanisms behind the underestimation of body size by subjects with obesity.

Atividades Investigativas na Educação Científica: Dimensões e Perspectivas em Diálogos com o ENCI
Authors: Strieder Roseline Beatriz , Watanabe Graciella
Published: December 2018

As atividades investigativas têm sido recomendadas no contexto educacional há longa data, como pode ser constatado em publicações da área de Ensino de Ciências, documentos oficiais e materiais didáticos. Ao analisarmos essas produções, percebemos que há diferentes pressupostos, propostas de atividades e recomendações que nem sempre estão explícitos, dificultando uma compreensão mais crítica sobre o assunto e a própria elaboração e desenvolvimento de práticas escolares. Diante disso, neste trabalho discutimos uma sistematização das diferentes perspectivas de atividades investigativas, com ênfase nos objetivos formativos e visões de ciências, com a intenção de melhor compreender essa abordagem e contribuir para a elaboração e desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas e práticas escolares. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, mais especificamente, uma análise da produção da área de ensino de ciências, por meio dos artigos publicados em revistas. Dentre os resultados, além de uma descrição da produção científica no que se refere aos objetivos das pesquisas, níveis de ensino e resultados encontrados, destacamos que as propostas analisadas apresentam diferentes objetivos formativos e visões de ciências, algumas pouco críticas e que podem veicular imagens deformadas sobre a ciência. Defendemos, nesse contexto, que à medida que tais atividades são pensadas no âmbito das questões pedagógicas propostas pelo Ensino de Ciências por Investigação, aspectos educacionais se tornam mais claros e conduzem a perspectivas processuais e reflexivas sobre as ciências.
O POETA E O OUTRO: A ALTERIDADE COMO TOMADA DE CONSCIÊNCIA EM MÁRIO E DRUMMOND
Authors: Da Silva Thaís Cristina
Published: December 2018

O trabalho realiza uma comparação sobre a temática da alteridade na poética de Mário de Andrade e Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Partimos do pressuposto de que a construção desse outro está diretamente relacionada à posição e ao engajamento dos respectivos poetas dentro das distintas fases do modernismo brasileiro. A análise dos poemas Dois poemas acreanos e Operáro no mar corrobora essa conjetura, em Mário, o otimismo da primeira geração promove a idealização do outro e a comoção pela identidade comum, já Drummond, oriundo da geração de 30 e da consciência do atraso, ressalta a impossibilidade do encontro com o outro. A alteridade surge na poética de Mário como instância cultural, e em Drummond, como forma de conhecimento, de convocação à luta de classes.

Diskurssintutkimuksen menetelmiä digitaalisen retoriikan tutkimuksessa
Authors: Lehti Lotta , Eronen-Valli Maria
Published: December 2018

Digital rhetoric is an emerging field, not yet very known among researchers and students in Finland. The term ‘digital rhetoric’ refers both to the production of persuasive digital texts and to their analysis. In this paper, we concentrate on the latter, the analysis, and we especially focus on the methods used in studies pertaining to digital rhetoric. Furthermore, instead of reviewing the variety of methods used in digital rhetoric research, we concentrate on how discourse analytic methods can be used in digital rhetoric research. We illustrate some of these uses through examples of studies on two rhetorical concepts in digital communication, namely ethosand argumentation. Our review shows that discourse analytic methods offer useful tools for the study of digital rhetoric.
Overcoming methodological challenges in text production research: a holistic approach through data triangulation
Authors: Haapanen Lauri
Published: December 2018

Text production research tends to analyse corpora of text products as its data. However, for the aim of investigating especially text production processes, such an approach falls short; a written text does its best to hide any traces of its genesis. This article argues for a holistic approach in text production research by presenting five methodological guidelines for future research: 1) what/how-research questions need to be followed by why-questions, and such research frameworks require 2) several methods to be applied in order to 3) encompass both product and process perspectives, 4) reveal material, mental and social activities, and 5) move from micro-level activities towards macro-level contexts. The holistic approach is empirically illustrated by drawing on a study on journalistic quoting (Haapanen 2017a).

There is a growing interest towards metatheoretical examination of linguistic research. This special issue contributes to this examination from the perspective of discourse studies. The issue consists of seven articles which present methods in different areas of discourse studies. The aim of this introductory article is firstly to define the notions of discourse and method. Secondly, through the presentation of the articles of the issue, we present a variety of methods pertaining to different stages of research. In particular, methods of data collection and classification, as well as of data analysis, are presented. We conclude the article with some remarks on the future avenues of the methodology of discourse studies.
VACTERL association in the newborn
Authors: Gopal Girish , Belavadi Gangadhar B.
Published: December 2018

VACTERL association is a non-random association of birth (congenital) defects that affects multiple median and para-median structures. VACTERL association is a useful acronym to denote vertebral abnormalities (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac defects (C), tracheo-esophageal fistula (TE), renal or radial abnormalities (R), and limb abnormalities (L). Atleast 3 or more defects must be present to make a diagnosis of this condition. Most of these cases occur sporadically, although few cases with chromosomal abnormalities have been reported. Herein, we report a newborn who had most of the defects seen in VACTERL association.

Endosulphan Concentration alters biomarkers in albino rat
Authors: Khan Sabiha
Published: December 2018

Effect of 11.01ppm of endosulfan dose on the enzyme Acid phosphatase and Alkaline phosphatase in liver and kidney of 5 week of swiss albino rat was studied for different period of exposure. The enzyme activity increased due to congestion, biliary hindrance and hyperplasia swelling of renal tubules and vacuolization. Phosphatase testing is used to assess enzymatic damage caused by kidney disease, liver disease, or a heart attack. Primary site of organochlorine storage in the body is adipose tissue. It is metabolized in the liver as a lipophilic xenobiotic to hepatotoxic intermediates by mono-oxygenase systems which cause oxidative stress. Increase in acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activity is due to leakage of lysosomal enzymes into the cytoplasm and renal necrosis and pyknotic nuclei. Endosulphan effects the biomarker of albino rat.
A study of clinical, metabolic and hematological profile in infants of diabetic mothers
Authors: Gopal Girish
Published: December 2018

Background:Diabetes has long been associated with maternal and perinatal mobidity and mortality. Infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) have higher risks for serious problems during pregnancy, delivery and early neonatal period. Abnormal fetal metabolism during pregnancy which is complicated by maternal diabetes mellitus results in multiple neonatal sequelae. Objective: To study the clinical, metabolic and hematological profile in infants of diabetic mothers and to compare the neonatal outcome in gestational and pregestational (overt) diabetic mothers. Methods: 69 neonates born to diabetic mothers were enrolled in the study. Gestational age, birth weight, relevant perinatal history and examination findings were recorded. Blood samples were collected to perform relevant biochemical tests and managed as per unit protocol. Echocardiography and ultrasound abdomen was done routinely in all neonates. Results: Of the 69 neonates, 71.01% (49/69) were born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), while the remaining 28.99% (20/69) were born to mothers with pregestational (overt) diabetes mellitus (PGDM). 53.63% (37/69) of mothers had poor glycemic control. Most of the neonates (73.91% - 51/69) were delivered by cesarean section. 88.40% (61/69) of the babies were born at term. Majority of them (85.50% - 59/69) were appropriate for gestational age with mean birth weight of 3.06±0.82kgs. Hypoglycemia was the most common metabolic abnormality seen in 73.91% (51/69) of neonates. Polycythemia was seen in 60.80% (42/69) of neonates. Congenital malformations were seen in 17.40% (12/69) of neonates, of which most of them had congenital heart disease. 11.60% (8/69) of the babies had suffered birth injuries. 5.80% (4/69) of neonates died in the early neonatal period. Occurrence of hypoglycemia, polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, congenital anomalies and birth injuries were significantly higher in infants born to mothers with GDM, whereas hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia were significantly higher in infants of mothers with PGDM. Conclusions: Among the pregnancies complicated by diabetes, GDM continues to have a major contribution. Hypoglycemia and polycythemia remain the most common biochemical and hematological abnormality respectively. Congenital heart disease forms a major proportion of the congenital anomalies seen in IDMs. Mortality rate is higher in infants born to mothers with GDM.

O estágio curricular supervisionado nos serviços públicos de saúde, tal qual recomendado pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN), possibilita aos estudantes de Odontologia a proximidade com realidades e condutas profissionais diferentes daquelas que caracterizam sua rotina na prática clínica intramuros. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre os estágios curriculares dos cursos de Odontologia nos serviços públicos de saúde brasileiros após as DCN publicadas em fevereiro de 2002 e assim estimular a reflexão sobre sua importância para a formação profissional contemporânea. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura narrativa, baseada nos dados obtidos a partir da consulta em bases de dados (PubMed, SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico), selecionando documentos publicados entre janeiro de 2010 e maio de 2017. A amostra final foi constituída por 15 publicações agrupadas nas seguintes categorias: relatos de experiência vivenciada no estágio curricular, percepção dos estudantes quanto ao estágio curricular e avaliação dos processos pedagógicos, técnicos e políticos na implantação do estágio. Conclui-se que os estágios curriculares das universidades brasileiras são espaços de aprofundamento no campo de trabalho que buscam aproximar os estudantes da realidade do sistema público de saúde, com intenção de formar profissionais humanitários, preocupados com o respeito e o cuidado da sociedade.

Considerando a importância da adoção de medidas de biossegurança desde a formação dos cirurgiões-dentistas, este estudo teve como objetivo descrever a prevalência de acidentes com perfurocortantes, onde e como ocorrem, assim como verificar as atitudes de estudantes de Odontologia em relação à sua prevenção e manejo. Tratou-se de estudo observacional quanti-qualitativo com 58 concluintes de um curso de graduação do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram utilizados um questionário e um roteiro de observação participante. Constatou-se prevalência de 31% de acidentes envolvendo material biológico. Os locais de maior ocorrência foram a clínica de periodontia e a central de esterilização. Sondas periodontais, pontas ultrassônicas e limas endodônticas foram os instrumentais mais envolvidos. Identificaram-se falhas no processo de notificação e limitações no uso adequado de EPI, especialmente na central de esterilização. Aspectos como cobertura vacinal, lavagem das mãos e rotinas de desinfecção necessitam acompanhamento. O desrespeito às normas de biossegurança e a desatenção figuraram como importantes fatores de risco observados. Os achados demandam investimentos em educação continuada com vistas à conscientização da comunidade acadêmica, indispensável para a prevenção de acidentes e preservação da saúde dos futuros cirurgiões-dentistas.
