title: Occupational exposure to noise by ambulance crew

description: PURPOSE: to describe the sound pressure levels that workers are exposed during working hours in ambulances and verify possible association between the use of sirens, traffic conditions and time of the day that the measurement was taken. METHODS: in the first stage, it was measured the sound pressure level in the cabin of the ambulance during emergency trips, and performed the investigation of the driver's perception about traffic conditions and use of the siren. In the second stage, it was analyzed the noise exposure of a worker during the working hours. The data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: the average of the equivalent continuous sound level for 12 emergency trips exceeded 85 dB (A) above the value allowed by the Regulatory Standard 15, and the loud noise was associated with traffic conditions and use of the siren (p &lt;0.05). The noise dose in percentage during a driver shifts varied from 17,51% to 155,68%, exceeding the recommended limit and also had an influence on traffic conditions and siren's use. CONCLUSION: the sound pressure levels to which workers are exposed during working hours in ambulances are high and beyond what is established by the Brazilian standard. Thus, it is necessary to develop preventive health actions to this professionals since the high noise levels can adversely affect their hearing health and quality of life.

title: Normality tests of temporal resolution: random gap detection test and gaps-in-noise

description: PURPOSE: to evaluate temporal resolution of normal hearing individuals from 20 years old to 60 years old. METHODS: individuals of both genders from 20 to 60 years old have been separated by age in four groups of ten individuals per group. Group I: from 20 years old to 30 years old. Group II: from 31 years old to 40 years old. Group III: from 41 years old to 50 years old. Group IV: from 51 years old to 60 years old. All individuals were submitted to procedures of audiological routine in order to evaluate the central and peripheral hearing. After those tests, they were included in the sample and submitted to temporal resolution tests: Randon-gap-detection-test and Gaps-in-noise. RESULTS: the average values obtained for the gap detection threshold on Gaps-in-noise were around 6ms at Group I and II. For the Group III and IV these values were around 8ms. Regarding the gap detection threshold obtained on Random-gap-detection-test the average values were 10ms at Group I and II. At Group III and IV these values were between 10ms and 15ms. CONCLUSION: the temporal resolution ability worsens with increasing age. The normal values of tests with noise segments (GIN - Gaps in Noise) and pure tone (RGDT - Random Gap Detection Test) are increasing according to age range studied.

title: Findings of multiprofessional evaluation of mouth breathing children

description: PURPOSE: to describe orofacial myofunctional findings, as well as the main otolaryngological, allergological and orthodontic problems found in mouth breathing children. METHODS: 502 medical charts from the Mouth Breathing Outpatient Clinic from Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais were analyzed. The subjects were aged between 2 and 12 years (median 6.0 years) and, about genders, 289 (57.6%) were male and 213 (42.4%) were female. The data collected was regarding general anamnesis, speech-language pathology evaluation, as well as the relevant parts of otolaryngological, allergological and orthodontic assessments. Data was submitted to statistical analysis. RESULTS: at anamnesis, significant prevalence of maintaining the mouth opened (98.0%), snoring (89.9%) and nocturnal drooling (68.6%) was observed. Allergologic evaluation showed positive skin test (59.0%) and rhinitis (57.8%) and otolaryngological assessment revealed hypertrophic adenoids (91.7%) and tonsils (72.6%) and changed nasal mucosa (60.3%). The findings on orthodontic evaluation were malocclusion (86.8%), convex facial profile (62.9%) and overbite (55.5%). Data from speech-language pathology assessment indicated inappropriate usual lips position (70.5%), facial changes in lips (65.4%) and tongue (64.4%) strength, high hard palate (57.1%), altered nasolabial angle (57.0%) and asymmetry (55.0%). CONCLUSION: alterations were found on the evaluations made by all professionals, confirming the huge impact of mouth breathing on quality of life of those children, and therefore the need for multidisciplinary treatment for these patients.

title: Viscosity and quality of images of thickened liquid after adding barium contrast for swallow studies

description: PURPOSE: to study the viscosity of baby formula thickened for swallowing study after adding Barium. METHODS: 200ml glasses of formula were thickened to nectar, honey and pudding consistencies using seven different thickeners. Mean viscosity was verified with a viscometer at room temperature after warming above 40ºC and also after adding Barium contrast at 50%, 25% and 12,5% concentrations. The prepared formula was exposed to fluoroscopy and the images were evaluated regarding visualization of the formula at different consistencies, concentrations of barium and thickeners. RESULTS: when comparing mean centipoise (cps) measures, the viscosity was significantly lower for the temperature above 40ºC than room temperature. When Barium contrast was added to the formula thickened to nectar and to pudding consistencies, a significant change into honey consistency was verified. There were no differences in quality of the images between the formula with Barium concentrations at 50% and 25%. CONCLUSION: significant changes in viscosity of nectar and pudding can occur after adding Barium to thickened baby formula. Reduction of Barium concentration to 25% did not result in significant changes in quality of images. Findings suggest importance of standardization of formula preparation for swallow studies regarding viscosity and concentration of Barium to assure consistency of the exam, prevent incorrect diagnose while optimizing orientation regarding diet modification in infant with dysphagia.

title: Influence of generalized joint hypermobility on temporomandibular joint, mastication and deglutition: a cross-sectional study

description: PURPOSE: to evaluate temporomandibular joint, mastication and deglutition in asymptomatic women with and without generalized joint hypermobility and the association between these variables. METHODS: forty-three volunteers were evaluated at the Speech-Language-Hearing Service of Federal University of Santa Maria. Hypermobility was evaluated according to the Beighton score and, based on the obtained scores, the volunteers were distributed into two groups: with (n=17) and without hypermobility (n=26). The temporomandibular joint was examined by Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders instrument, and mastication and deglutition functions were assessed through a myofunctional orofacial assessment. RESULTS: the clinical evaluation of the temporomandibular joint showed predominance of joint sounds during jaw movement (52.9%) and mouth opening deviation (76.5%) in the hypermobility group, without statistical significant difference. In the examination of the masticatory function, although most of the volunteers showed a bilateral chewing pattern, the frequency of this pattern was significantly lower in the hypermobility group (p=0.05). A significant association (p=0.02) between chewing and mouth opening pattern was found only in the group without hypermobility, and there was no difference between groups regarding the deglutition function. CONCLUSION: asymptomatic women showed evidence that hypermobility predisposes the occurrence of mouth opening deviation and joint sounds. There was no difference in the deglutition function, but lower frequency of alternating bilateral chewing was found in the group with hypermobility compared to the group without hypermobility.

title: Comparison between pharyngeal flap surgery and sphincteroplasty: nasometric and aerodynamic analysis

description: PURPOSE: to compare the effect of pharyngeal flap surgery and sphincteroplasty on hypernasality and velopharyngeal closure in velopharyngeal insufficiency management, by means of instrumental assessment. METHODS: thirty patients with repaired cleft palate±lip, submitted to surgical treatment for velopharyngeal insufficiency (15 pharyngeal flap and 15 sphincteroplasty) were evaluated before and, at least, 1 year after surgery. Hypernasality was estimated by means of nasalance scores (acoustic correlate of nasality) obtained by nasometry considering a cutoff score of 27%. Velopharyngeal closure was determined by the velopharyngeal area measurement. Nasalance scores were obtained by nasometry, during the reading of a set of 5 sentences containing exclusively oral sounds, considering the cutoff value of 27%. Velopharyngeal area was provided by the measurement of velopharyngeal area by means of pressure-flow technique and was classified as: 0 to 4.9 mm2=adequate; 5 to 19.9 mm2=borderline and ≥20mm2 inadequate. Differences between the two techniques were accepted as significant when p &lt; 0.05. RESULTS: before surgery. nasalance mean scores were 43±8.4% and 45±14.2% and velopharyngeal area mean were 51±35.4mm2 and 69±29.2mm2 for the pharyngeal flap and sphincteroplasty groups, respectively. After surgery, nasalance mean scores were 27±10.1% and 31±14.2% and velopharyngeal area mean were 3.6±5.5mm2 and 24±32.7mm2 for the pharyngeal flap and sphincteroplasty groups, respectively. The reduction of the nasalance scores and velopharyngeal area was statistically significant in both groups. CONCLUSION: these results suggest that pharyngeal flap demonstrated to be more efficient than sphincteroplasty in the elimination of hypernasality and adequacy of velopharyngeal closure in the patients studied.

title: Assessment of skills that predict reading success in 1st- and 2nd-grade children of elementary school

description: PURPOSES: to study the performance of 1st- and 2nd-grade students of elementary school on tasks that assess abilities and skills considered as predictors of reading success. METHODS: we analyzed early reading skills in 73 children aged between six and eight years, from a public school in São Paulo. The instrument used for assessing the children's early reading skills comprised of 20 subtests involving the following skills: "Oral language"; "Phonological processing"; "Comprehension"; "Reading and writing"; and "Print awareness". Data were collected and analyzed by school year (1st and 2nd grades) in order to identify differences in development at the early stages of Reading acquisition. RESULTS: it was found that the performance of some 1st- and 2nd-graders was less than average when compared to the remainder of their group on the skills considered as predictors of literacy. This low performance was identified from the percentage of total correct responses in the assessment Instrument and the classification into percentiles. There were no differences between the two grades in terms of "Oral Language" and "Print awareness". What differentiated one group from the other was their outcome at "Reading and writing" and "Phonological processing" tasks, with 2nd-grade students performing better on the following tasks: (a) word reading; (b) pseudoword reading; (c) word spelling; (d) pseudoword spelling; (e) rhyme production; and (f) reading comprehension. CONCLUSION: schooling influenced the performance on phonological processing abilities, and on reading and writing skills. Phonological processing abilities and print awareness correlated with the decoding involved in the writing and reading of isolated items.
