Published: May 2019

Reaction woods of three softwoods, Pinus merkusii, Cryptomeria japonica and Cedrus deodara, were investigated by alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation (NBO) to characterize the condensed-type structures in compression wood lignins. A novel biphenyl-type NBO product carrying guaiacyl (G)- and p-hydroxyphenyl (H)-units, dehydrovanillin-p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (HG-biphenyl product), was identified using the authentic standard compound. On the basis of the yield of this novel NBO product, as well as those of GG-biphenyl-, β-5-, and uncondensed-type products [e.g. dehydrodivanillin, 5-formylvanillin, vanillin and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde], the compression wood lignins contained more HG-type biphenyl and H-type β-5 structures than the opposite wood lignins. The increase in the condensed-type structure content was largely offset by the decreases in the content of GG-biphenyl and G-type β-5 structures. Consequently, the relative yields of biphenyl, β-5 and uncondensed-type NBO products were very similar between the compression wood and the opposite wood, even though the H-unit having no methoxy group on its aromatic ring can be assumed to have a greater probability to form condensed-type structures during lignin biosynthesis than the G-unit.

Published: May 2019

Introduction: Genital warts in young adults aged 18-28 years are very common. Several approaches are routinely used in the treatment of warts, viz., medical treatment (podophyllin and trichloroacetic acid), conventional surgery (excision or electrocautery), cryotherapy, and laser treatment. Because of high recurrence rates after treatment, complications and long duration of treatment, newer modalities have been developed. One of these newer methods is laser, which has been used in several urologic diseases. However, there are only a few studies about use of Holmium laser for treatment of genital warts. This retrospective study compared the success rate of Holmium laser with other available treatments for genital warts. Methods: Between October 2011 and May 2016, 142 patients with genital warts attended the urology clinics at Shohada-e-Tajrish hospital in Tehran, Iran. Out of these, a total of 101 patients were included in this study consisting of 42, 39, 11 and 9 patients treated with cryotherapy, laser, conventional surgery and podophyllin respectively. Results: The most successfully cleared lesions were seen in the holmium laser treatment group (P=0.001). The lowest recurrence rate was observed in the holmium laser treatment group (P=0.001). 17 patients had one of these following problems: dysuria, initial hematuria or a change in the force and caliber of their urinary stream that after physical examination showed them to have a meatal wart. These patients then underwent cystoscopy up to urinary sphincter. All of them in addition to the meatus wart had a penile shaft lesion(s). Thirteen patients had meatal lesions, 9 of whom received holmium laser therapy and 4 patients were treated with electrocautery. Based on routine follow up after treatment, none of the patients treated with holmium laser had urinary stricture, but one case treated with electrocautery returned with a penile urethral stricture. Conclusion: This study showed that treatment with Holmium laser has the highest clearance rate (92.2%) and lowest recurrence rate (14.3%) compared to other available treatments in this study. It may be concluded that holmium laser is a safe and effective treatment for genital warts with a low rate of recurrence.

Published: May 2019

Introduction: One of the major complains after surgery is pain. Recent advances in the prevention and reduction of postoperative pain have provided several modalities. One of them is the use of laser irradiation on the surgical area. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on pain and side effects after surgery. Methods: In this research, databases such as: PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Springer and Cochrane were used and the words of laser therapy, photobiomodulation, therapeutic laser, low level laser therapy, surgery and pain were searched. Articles, including systematic reviews, original articles, case series, and clinical intervention studies related to these words, were studied. The language of all articles was English and consists of papers from 2009 until 2017. Results: A total of 370 papers were studied and 10 articles that met inclusion criteria were selected for this review. Few of these articles were followed up. Surgery included a wide range of surgeries including mastectomy, breast augment post-fracture, episiotomy, tonsillectomy and hernia. The methodological quality score on the PEDro scale was between 5 and 11. 8 trials reported positive effects and 2 trials reported negative effects. In order to study clinical effect size of laser therapy after surgery, only 4 papers met entry criteria and the mean effect sizes were 0.13 to 2.77. Accordingly, the best treatment protocol included a red laser dose of 4 J/cm2 for the post-operative pain of tonsillectomy, which was irradiated through the infra mandibular angle on the tonsils. Conclusion: LLLT may be an appropriate modality for reducing pain after surgery, nevertheless the effect size of this modality is variable. Therefore, further research based on proper protocols for these patients and follow-up of therapeutic course should be designed and implemented.

Published: May 2019

To date, estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the natural gas (NG) value chain have focused on upstream (production) and midstream (gathering, transmission, and storage) operations. In this study, we estimate methane emissions from an important downstream consumer of NG, the ammonia fertilizer industry, which commonly uses NG as a feedstock and a fuel for the production of ammonia and other upgraded products. Using a Google Street View (GSV) car equipped with a high-precision methane analyzer, we adopted a mobile sensing approach to measure methane mixing ratios along public roads that are downwind of the ammonia fertilizer plants. Useful data were collected from six plants, which represent >25% of the total number of U.S NG-based ammonia fertilizer plants, and use >20% of the total NG consumption by this industry. Based on the measured data, a source characterization model was applied to estimate the methane emission rates from the upwind plants. Assuming that the estimates are representative of emissions during normal operations of a plant, we calculated the NG loss rate (i.e. the ratio between NG emission rate and NG throughput). If the sampled plants are representative of the U.S. ammonia fertilizer industry, the industrial-averaged NG loss rate (± standard deviation) is estimated to be 0.34% (±0.20%), and the total methane emissions (± standard deviation) from this industry are estimated to be 29 (±18) Gigagram per year (Gg CH4/yr) in 2015–2016. This is significantly higher than the reported methane emissions of 0.2 Gg CH4/yr from the U.S. EPA’s Facility Level Information on Greenhouse Gas Tools (FLIGHT). This study begins to fill an important knowledge gap in quantifying methane emissions along the NG value chain, and demonstrates the capability of mobile sensing for characterizing airborne emissions.

Objectives

The pathogenesis of Graves’ disease (GD) remains unclear. In terms of environmental factors, GD development may be associated with chronic inflammation caused by alteration of the intestinal flora. This study explored the association of intestinal flora alteration with the development of GD among the Han population in southwest China.

Design and methods

Fifteen GD patients at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College between March 2016 and March 2017 were randomly enrolled. Additionally, 15 sex- and age-matched healthy volunteers were selected as the control group during the same period. Fresh stool samples were collected, and bacterial 16S RNA was extracted and amplified for gene sequencing with the Illumina MiSeq platform. The sequencing results were subjected to operational taxonomic unit-based classification, classification verification, alpha diversity analysis, taxonomic composition analysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA).

Results

The diversity indices for the GD group were lower than those for the control group. The GD group showed significantly higher abundances of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacillus and a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio than the control group. PLS-DA suggested the satisfactory classification of the flora between the GD group and the control group. The abundances of the genera Oribacterium, Mogibacterium, Lactobacillus, Aggregatibacter and Mogibacterium were significantly higher in the GD group than in the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

The intestinal flora of GD patients was significantly different from that of the healthy population. Thus, alteration of intestinal flora may be associated with the development of GD.
The Mediating Effect of Human Capital on the Relationship Between Strategic Innovation and the Performance of Manufacturing SMEs in Yemen
Authors: AlQershi Nagwan , Abas Zakaria Bin , Mokhtar Sany Sanuri Mohd
Published: May 2019

The purpose of this paper is to fill gaps in the human capital literature, first, by providing insights into the relationship between human capital and strategic innovation and the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and second, by exploring the role of human capital as a mediating variable. Although SMEs perform a vital role in the economic development of countries worldwide, developing countries tend to lag behind developed countries in this sector; hence, there is a need to investigate the peculiar nature of SMEs and their performance in the context of developing countries. Additionally, understanding an organization’s human capital requires the articulation of a system of variables that helps to uncover and manage the visible wealth. The contribution of SMEs can be measured through performance. This study is a conceptual discussion of manufacturing SME performance in Yemen and the effect of human capital and strategic innovation. The performance is considered to be very low, and the country is ranked by the Global Innovation Index as one of the lowest in terms of innovation. This paper describes the development of a framework which is a clear manifestation of the knowledge gap addressed by this study.
Trends in Opioid Prescribing for Adolescents and Young Adults in Ambulatory Care Settings
Authors: Hudgins Joel D. , Porter John J. , Monuteaux Michael C. , Bourgeois Florence T.
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND:

Adolescents and young adults are at high risk for opioid misuse after exposure from medical treatment. However, the epidemiology of opioid prescribing among outpatient adolescents and young adults remains poorly described. We aimed to characterize opioid prescribing in adolescents and young adults receiving care in emergency departments (EDs) and outpatient clinics.

METHODS:

We analyzed National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data from 2005 to 2015. We included visits to EDs and outpatient clinics for adolescents (13–17 years old) and young adults (18–22 years old). Rates of opioid prescribing were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and linear trends over time were examined with logistic regression models.

RESULTS:

Nearly 57 million visits (5.7%; 95% CI 5.4% to 6.0%) by adolescents and young adults were associated with an opioid prescription. The rate of opioid prescribing was 14.9% (95% CI 14.4% to 15.6%) for ED visits and 2.8% (95% CI 2.5% to 3.1%) for outpatient clinic visits. There was a small but significant decrease in the rate of opioid prescriptions among ED visits (odds ratio 0.96; 95% CI 0.95 to 0.98); no change was seen for outpatient clinic visits. Among ED visits, opioid-prescribing rates were highest among adolescents and young adults with dental disorders (59.7% and 57.9%, respectively), followed by adolescents with clavicle (47.0%) and ankle fractures (38.1%).

CONCLUSIONS:

Rates of opioid prescribing in EDs and outpatient clinics remain high for adolescents and young adults, especially for certain emergency conditions. These findings inform targeted educational campaigns aiming to ensure judicious use of opioids in this high-risk population.

Published: May 2019

Purpose

Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, resulting in approximately 1.8 million deaths worldwide. Immunotherapy using checkpoint inhibitors has become standard of care in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and there is increasing interest in further improving outcomes through combination with other therapeutics. This systematic review evaluates emerging phase III data on the efficacy and safety of checkpoint inhibitor combinations as first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC.

Materials and Methods

Published and presented literature was searched using the key search terms “non-small cell lung cancer” AND “checkpoint-inhibitors” (OR respective aliases) AND phase III trials. Seven randomized phase III clinical trials reporting outcomes on checkpoint inhibitor combinations in first-line advanced NSCLC were identified.

Results

Four first-line trials reported outcomes for checkpoint inhibitor combinations in nonsquamous NSCLC. Pembrolizumab-chemotherapy, atezolizumab-chemotherapy, and atezolizumab-bevacizumab-chemotherapy showed significantly improved overall survival compared with controls in patients with advanced nonsquamous epidermal growth factor receptor-negative (EGFR−)/ anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK)− NSCLC. Two trials reported outcomes for squamous NSCLC, with pembrolizumab-chemotherapy reporting significantly improved overall survival (OS) compared with chemotherapy. The combination of nivolumab-ipilimumab in all-comer histology failed to improve OS compared with histology appropriate chemotherapy in patients regardless of their tumor mutational burden status. Based on improved survival and safety, either pembrolizumab monotherapy or pembrolizumab-chemotherapy administered based on PD-L1 status and histology is a preferred treatment option. Outcomes for atezolizumab-bevacizumab-chemotherapy in EGFR+/ALK+ patients are promising and require further exploration.

Conclusion

First-line checkpoint inhibitors added to standard therapies improve overall survival for nonsquamous EGFR−/ALK− and squamous advanced NSCLC.

Objetivo: verificar se há diferenças na força de preensão manual e no índice do Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) de atletas de Judô entre a pré-competição e pré-temporada, realizado em uma academia de Judô no município de Canoas, RS. Método: a amostra foi composta por 10 atletas de Judô, do sexo masculino com idades entre 15 e 20 anos, com experiência em competições nacionais, graduados na faixa marrom ou preta, os quais realizaram testes de dinamometria manual e o SJFT. Resultados: observou-se aumento na força de preensão manual com diferença estatisticamente significativa em ambos os lados na pré-competição e na pré-temporada. Em relação ao índice do SJFT, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa em relação as duas coletas. Conclusão: atribui-se a melhora da força de preensão manual ao período de descanso de aproximadamente quatro semanas, que parece ter tido influência positiva em uma possível situação de overreaching. Por outro lado, a ausência de significância estatística no índice do SJFT pode dar a entender que o período entre a pré-competição e a pré-temporada não foi suficiente para levar o grupo de atletas avaliado ao destreinamento.
Determinants of Criminogenic Victimization of Transbaikal Region’s Population

Published: May 2019

A study of the process of victimization of population in a specific region is highly relevant as it allows to determine not only the factors and conditions that turn a person into a crime victim, but also the factors and conditions that form potential victims of criminal infringements which, in its turn, contributes to the detection of latent crimes and the prediction of the crime level in the region as a whole. The paper examines the issues of victimization of Transbaikal Region’s population, analyzes a complex of economic, political, and legal factors of population’s victimization. The study shows that the satisfaction of material needs of people is harmed by the processes that create barriers for industrial development, growth of labor productivity, introduction of new technologies and growth of competitiveness of businesses in Transbaikal Region. In the social sphere, these barriers and obstacles facilitate the processes of marginalization (growing unemployment level), criminalization, socio-cultural degradation. The mechanism influencing economic and social processes is active redistribution of resources between the processes that satisfy needs and the processes that form barriers and obstacles for the satisfaction of these needs. The redistribution of resources and their loss determine not only low effectiveness, but also its unstable dynamics and high volatility. The authors use their own methodology of evaluating the level of socio-economic development of the region based on the effectiveness indices for socio-economic processes to determine the level of satisfying basic needs of population in Transbaikal Region in 2004–2017. The study shows that over a long period of time the level of satisfying basic socio-economic needs of population has steadily remained low which, undoubtedly, is an important factor of its victimization. The authors also analyze the factor of internal and external migration. Internal migration is caused by uneven economic development of Russian regions, interethnic tensions and a growth in crime rates in a number of Russian regions. The results of this research could be used for teaching such courses as «Criminal Law», «Criminology» for the specialty «Jurisprudence» in higher educational establishments; they could also be used as methodological recommendations for developing crime prevention programs.

Despite the well-known anti-mycobacterial actions of isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF), the clinical success of tuberculosis (TB) therapy requires prolonged administration of multiple drugs in high doses, which often result in frequent adverse effects and low patient adherence. Although liposomes are promising candidates for controlled delivery of anti-TB drug, the high cost of synthetic and highly purified natural lipids currently used in liposomal technology might preclude the universal application of therapeutic liposomes. This work aimed at evaluating the potential of a cost-effective lipid material, crude soybean lecithin (CL), to co-encapsulate RIF and INH for liposomal dual delivery. RIF was encapsulated in CL-liposomes with/without cholesterol using film hydration method, after which INH was incorporated using a freeze-thawing technique. Dynamic light scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and dialysis were used for liposome characterization. Liposomes containing CL alone (CLL) exhibited 90 % encapsulation efficiency for RIF and 59 % for INH. The mean size and surface charge of CLL were 1114 nm and -63 mV respectively. In addition, CLL showed a controlled release profile for the co-encapsulated drugs. CLL would be promising vehicles for macrophage-targeting drug delivery. The present findings demonstrate the feasibility of using CL for preparation of combination products for liposomal delivery. Keywords: Tuberculosis, isoniazid, rifampicin, drug delivery, liposomes, soybean lecithin.

The repair of composite resin restoration is a clinical procedure feasible and allows the removal of the engaged restoration without requiring complete replacement, and thus allowing the conservation of healthy tooth structure. The decision to keep part of the restoration and the clinical protocol of repair should be carefully evaluated and implemented to increase the predictability of the procedure. The bond between the old restoration surface and the composite resin to be added is based on the chemical and mechanical connection between these composites. The micromechanical preparation of the composite in combination with phosphoric acid and the use of fluid resin to improve the wetting of the surface increase the bond strength and efficiency of repair technique between composites. This study aimed to describe the technique of posterior tooth repair, performed in a composite resin restoration, describing the clinical protocol, the advantages and limitations of the technique.

Choosing occlusion standards in dentures is a dilemma in oral rehabilitation, as it raises questions on which standard the dentist should use. This decision may influence the stability of the denture. Based on this problem, a literature review with articles published in the last five years, in search engines Pubmed.gov, Google Scholar and Scielo was performed. The keywords Prosthodontics, Occlusion and Edentulism were used. In this review, the articles on clinical trials and studies in silico, as well as relevant literature reviews were included. Although often the dentist may be resistant to use another type of occlusal pattern than balanced occlusion, it is important to emphasize advantages and disadvantages of occlusal arrangements in order to slow the residual ridge resorption and decrease muscle activity.

The hyposalivation is the decreased salivary flow or when the saliva has a change of its components. Its causes can be linked to many factors such as stress, Sjögren’s syndrome, diabetes mellitus, salivary glands diseases and as a result of head and neck radiotherapy. It might often be associated with prolonged intake of specific medications. The diagnosis is made by sialometry and through clinical signs and symptoms. The treatment in salivation is primarily palliative and preventative, with emphasis on the use of substitute and / or salivary stimulants that can improve the lubrication and hydration of the oral tissues alleviating the discomfort reported by the patients. Currently, pilocarpine, has been suggested as drug of choice for severe cases. This literature review aims to present the etiology and diagnosis of hyposalivation as well as the different treatment protocols of their causes. We conclude that the various protocols for the treatment of hyposalivation should be directed assessing the consequences of changes in salivary flow and its interrelated factors. Therefore, a history and physical examination are important for diagnosis.

The desire for an aesthetic and harmonious smile raises the level of demand and expectation of the patients, due to the individual being inserted in a society where the appearance is very important to their acceptance and self-esteem. Within this context, a multidisciplinary approach to the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the smile was added to the contemporary odontology, highlighting more conservative treatments like teeth whitening, the increase of clinical crown, crowns and ceramic veneers, using materials that mimic the dental structures. The objective of this paper is to present a literature review on the smile rehabilitation techniques using pure ceramics, which is based on diagnostic waxing and reverse planning, the use of mock-up and photographs, an increase of clinical crown, whitening, and adhesive cementation, focusing on the final aesthetic result. A good integrated planning, with the correct indication, enables a more conservative approach to the tooth structure, presenting itself as an excellent solution for aesthetic and functional modifications in the smile. Thus, it is unquestionable the importance of knowledge by the professional, about the material and the technique, to obtain a satisfactory result. It is concluded that the aesthetic rehabilitation of the smile occurs from multidisciplinary approaches within some specialties, which subsequently to an integrated planning may allow to restore the smile.

Introduction: Dental treatment performed in patients on anticoagulant drug therapy is becoming increasingly common in dental offices. Thus, questions concerning thromboembolic and bleeding risks relative to invasive dental procedures, are frequently raised. Aim: To review the scientific evidences regarding anticoagulant therapy interruption in patients taking warfarin undergoing oral surgeries. Methods: It was carried out a literature review in the electronic SciELO, PubMed, Lilacs and Oviatt Library databases from January to March of 2016, using as descriptors: Anticoagulants, Warfarin, Oral Surgery, and Oral Hemorrhage. Results and Discussion: Anticoagulant therapy is extremely important in patients at high risk for development of thromboembolic events. Most studies show that the risk of bleeding oral surgery in patients taking warfarin is relatively insignificant and it can be controlled by simple measures such as hemostasis. Conclusion: It is highly recommended to not interrupt anticoagulant in minor oral surgeries.

On the sagittal split osteotomy of mandibular ramus technique (SSOMR) the horizontal cut is done on ramus medial aspect immediately above the lingula. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to verify the possible correlation of the height and width of the ramus with the gender and cephalic index. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 48 adult, dentate, human mandibles were used, being dolicho- (16), meso- (16) and brachycephalic (16) specimens. The anatomic references on the ramus were: the most inferior point of the mandibular notch (I), the highest point of the inferior board (B), the most posterior point of the anterior margin, (P) the most anterior point of the posterior margin. RESULTS: The mean of the height and width of the mandibular ramus showed no difference compared with the cephalic index (dolicho – 47,05/ 32,09mm; meso – 47,27/ 32,57mm; brachicephalic – 46,41/ 29,58mm). Assessing the dimensions in light of the individuals gender showed that there was a height difference of the ramus in male individuals (49,08mm) that was higher than in female individuals (42,76mm). CONCLUSIONS: We believe our results should be used as reference in mandibular ramus surgical procedures, forensic investigations and morphometric comparisons with results of further studies in individuals from other nations.

INTRODUCTION: The adhesive dentistry developed materials and techniques capable to preserve the dental tissues through the union of substrate with adhesive resinous systems. Modernly the resinous components are used in direct adhesive restorations, in orthodontic brackets´ luting, in indirect restorations´ luting, in canal root filling, in sealing areas of bad coalescence like pit and fissures, among others. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to do a review about the evolution of adhesive systems and to discuss the main efforts of the present time in perfecting them in the sense of minimizing their inconveniences. METHODS: Selection of papers through electronic bases LILACS and PubMed/ MEDLINE using indexing terms like: dentin-bonding agents, adhesives and hydrolysis among the years of 1999 and 2016. RESULTS: The adhesive systems have been reason studies in the sense of preserving the existent interface between the composed resin and enamel and dentine. That union presents problems as: hydrolytic degradation, separation of phases among hydrophilic and hydrophobic components, homogeneity lack in the formation of hybrid layer, exhibition of collagenous fibrils no completely involved by the monomers to be polymerized, leaching monomers, differences in osmotic concentration gradient, difficulty of larger intimacy among organic and inorganic materials, interaction or removal of the smear layer and presence of quiescent bacterias in adhesive interface. The largest inconveniences are: nanoleakage, with bacterial invasion and secondary decays. CONCLUSIONS: To know the progresses in the dentin-bonding agents and how to use them correctly is fundamental for a favorable prognostic of the quality of adhesive aesthetic restorations.

Objetivo: avaliar a relação entre a necessidade de tratamento odontológico devido à cárie dental e níveis de ansiedade em adolescentes. Método: este estudo de corte transversal examinou 89 adolescentes de 11 a 19 anos de idade. Os pais/responsáveis pelos adolescentes assinaram um termo de consentimento informado para inclusão do jovem no estudo. A ansiedade odontológica foi estimada através da utilização da Escala de Ansiedade Dental de Corah (DAS). Os dados foram coletados e analisados pelo SPSS por meio de estatística descritiva e teste do qui-quadrado. de Pearson. Resultados: 1 adolescente (1,1%) não apresentou ansiedade (DAS = 0); 40 adolescentes (44,9%) tiveram níveis baixos (DAS = 5-9), 39 (43,8%) níveis moderados (DAS = 10-15) e 9 (10,1%) níveis elevados (DAS = 16-20). As meninas apresentaram níveis de ansiedade maiores do que os meninos (p= 0,04). O CPO-d médio foi de 2,69. Trinta e nove adolescentes (43,8%) apresentaram necessidade de tratamento odontológico. A relação entre necessidade de tratamento odontológico e ansiedade foi estatisticamente significante (p=0,003). Observou-se maior número de adolescentes com necessidades de tratamento nos níveis de ansiedade moderada e alta (28,1%). Adicionalmente, a necessidade de tratamento odontológico devido à cárie foi significativamente maior entre os adolescentes com maiores níveis de ansiedade dentária do que aqueles com níveis de ansiedade mais baixos (p=0,001). Conclusão: verificou-se relação estatisticamente significante entre a necessidade de tratamento odontológico e ansiedade. Adolescentes do sexo feminino apresentaram maiores níveis de ansiedade.

Introdução: Os cânceres da cavidade oral são as neoplasias mais frequentes de cabeça e pescoço, seu prognóstico favorável depende do diagnóstico precoce e início do tratamento, entretanto, a maioria dos casos é detectada em estágio avançado, em indivíduos de baixa renda e idade produtiva. Objetivo: avaliar associação entre raça/cor da pele e estado do câncer ao final do primeiro tratamento em indivíduos com câncer da cavidade oral e orofaringe atendidos em hospitais da Bahia, entre 2010-2012. Métodos: Realizou-se uma coorte retrospectiva, analisando informações do Sistema de Informatização de Registros Hospitalares de Câncer, em agosto de 2014. O estado da doença ao final do primeiro tratamento foi definido como prognóstico bom ou ruim. A variável raça/cor da pele foi dicotomizada em negro ou não-negro. Assim, procedeu-se a análise descritiva, bivariada e estratificada dos dados. Resultados: Encontrou-se 943 casos de câncer da cavidade oral e orofaringe, destes 83,0% apresentavam raça/cor da pele negra. Obtiveram resultados estatisticamente significantes em relação ao prognóstico ruim o hábito de fumar (RR: 1,6; IC95%: 1,3 – 2,0), consumo de bebida alcóolica (RR: 1,4; IC95%: 1,1 – 1,7) e estadiamento do tumor (RR: 2,6; IC95%: 1,8 – 3,7). A raça/cor da pele não demonstrou associação estatisticamente significante com o prognóstico deste câncer (RR: 1,1; IC95%: 0,8 – 1,4). Conclusão: Em indivíduos com câncer na cavidade oral e orofaringe no estado da Bahia a raça/cor da pele não demonstrou associação estatisticamente significante com o prognóstico do câncer bucal.

Published: May 2019

En la actualidad, varios términos son utilizados para definir actividades físicas practicadas en el medio natural, lo que da la impresión de que, a pesar de la normalización de los nombres y definiciones de Ecoturismo y Turismo de Aventura por la Asociación Brasileña de Normas Técnicas (ABNT), no hay sincronía y consenso entre tales actividades. El objetivo de este estudio fue dividido en dos: el primer objetivo fue analizar las nomenclaturas de las ofertas de actividades físicas practicada en la naturaleza a través de sitios web relacionados con propiedad intelectual, turismo de aventura, turismo en el ámbito nacional y turismo en el estado de Sergipe (Brasil). El segundo objetivo fue averiguar si hay diferenciación validada entre los términos y sus definiciones. Para este fin se realizó una investigación documental donde se buscó analizar las empresas registradas en tres plataformas y los servicios que ofrecían. Corroborando con la literatura, hay diversos términos que se refieren a prácticas corporales similares, es decir, se verificó que no hay estandarización de términos referidos a Ecoturismo y Turismo de Aventura en los sitios web de registros de empresas y marcas. Sin embargo, la falta de claridad y estandarización de términos y definiciones puede ofrecer un mayor riesgo para los practicantes. Ecofitness quizás sea una nueva posibilidad de estandarización actividades, lo que facilita la supervisión de los profesionales habilitados y la reducción de riesgos innecesarios.
