title: Quality-of-life perception in elderly women who practice and do not practice the Pilates’ method

description: Abstract Background The aging process causes a reduction of the physical function, allowing the individual to have a decrease in the perception of the quality of life. Therefore, regular physical activity can be a favorable factor for a better perception of quality of life. Objective The aim of this study was to compare the quality-of-life perception of elderly women practitioners and non-practitioners of the Pilates’ method. Method divided into three exercise type groups and two age groups: 60-64.9 and 70-74.9 years. The exercise type groups were as follows: Pilates’ method practitioners (n=60), gymnastics practitioners (n=63), and non-practitioners of regular physical activity (n=62). The WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires were applied to evaluate the quality-of-life perception. Statistics: The Shapiro-Wilk test verified the data distribution and comparative analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Mann-Whitney Post-Hoc and Bonferroni correction. All analyses were processed using the SPSS software at 5% significance level (p&lt;0.05). Results For 60-64.9-year-old group assessed by the WHOQOL-OLD questionnaire, the non-practitioners of regular physical activity showed better perception in the social participation domain than that of the gymnastic practitioners. For 70-74.9-year-old group assessed by the same instrument, the Pilates’ method practitioners showed the best perception in most of the quality-of-life domains. Conclusion Elderly women practitioners of the Pilates’ method obtained the highest scores in most of the quality-of-life domains for the 70-74.9-year-old group.

title: Dental anomalies of number in orthodontic patients

description: AbstractIntroductionThe prevalence and distribution of dental anomalies of number vary according to the population studied.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of dental anomalies of number by assessing the frequency of hypodontia and hyperdontia regarding gender, the region of the maxila or mandible and the most affected teeth.MethodThe panoramic radiographs of 1054 patients, aged 5 to 30 years, from a private diagnostic imaging clinic were evaluated. Gender, age, presence or absence of abnormality, affected teeth and region were compared. Chi-square statistical tests and Pearson Test Binominal for two proportions were carried out.ResultThe prevalence of hypodontia was 4.9% and it was more frequent in the maxilla. There were no significant differences between the left and right side of the maxila or genders. The most frequently missing teeth were the maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular second premolar. The prevalence of hyperdontia was 4.0%. There were no significant differences between genders, right or left side of the maxila or mandible. The regions most frequently affected were distal to the third molars and between mandibular premolars.ConclusionThe prevalence of hypodontia was 4.9% and it was more frequent in the maxilla. The prevalence of hyperdontia was 4%. No significant differences between genders and the maxillary or mandibular region were found.

title: Oral health education in school: parents' attitudes and prevalence of caries in children

description: ABSTRACTIntroductionThe promotion of oral health in children is highly important, as well as parents' motivation to adopt the attitudes necessary for the maintenance of the health of their children.ObjectiveTo evaluate parents' attitudes about their children's oral health and to determine the prevalence of dental caries.Material and methodA cross-sectional analytical study, conducted with parents and preschoolers from the elementary schools in Araçatuba. A formal instrument was used to collect data, in order to evaluate parents' attitudes regarding their children's oral health. A clinical oral exam was performed in order to determine the decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft) and Index of Oral Health–Simplified (IOH–S). The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 software.ResultThe state of the children's oral health was good; the mean of the decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft) was 0.68 (Standard deviation = 1.70). Most of the children presented a mean index of oral hygiene (IOHS = 1.51, Standard deviation = 0.48). The parents' attitudes related to oral health were not very good. Many of them did not floss their children's teeth; the bottle-fed children did not brush after feeding. The consumption of sugar was associated with the presence of dental plaque in the children (p=0.05). Nevertheless, in most cases, tooth brushing was performed by the parents and was associated with a good dmft index in the children (p=0.04).ConclusionThe state of children's oral health in the present study was good. However, the parents' attitudes in relation to oral health were not good.

title: Stunting and associated factors in children aged 6 to 24 months attended in the Southwest of Bahia Health Units

description: Abstract Objective To assess the prevalence and factors associated with stunting among 6 to 24-month old children. Methodology This was a cross-sectional study including 360 children attended in all health units in the urban area of Vitória da Conquista - BA. A questionnaire was used to collect information and we evaluated anthropometric measures of weight and height. Nutritional status was evaluated according to the cutoff points for anthropometric indexes recommended by the World Health Organization. The association among the studied factors and stunting was assessed by Poisson regression with robust variance. Results The prevalence of stunting in the assessed children was 13.6%. The factors associated with the outcome were: father’s unemployment (PR: 2.46; 95% CI: 1.34 to 4.49) and low birth weight (OR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.27 to 4.13). Conclusion The results show a significant prevalence of stunting among children under two years old, emphasizing the importance of nutritional monitoring and the influence of obstetric and socioeconomic factors.

title: Prevalence of tooth injuries in patients with neuropsychomotor disorder

description: Abstract Introduction Traumatic dental injuries are distressing experiences in children, which promote both physical, emotional and psychological changes. Objective To evaluate the prevalence of dental trauma in patients with neuropsychomotor disorder and to compare to normoreactive individuals. Material and method 120 individuals, 60 neuropsychomotor changes (study group) and 60 normorreatives (control group), of both sexes, from 2 to 15 years old, assisted in the Foundation of Support to the Disabled of the Government of the State of Paraíba. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and clinical examination. Descriptive and inferential analysis (t-student test; Fisher's exact test) was performed, adopting a significance level of 5%. Result The prevalence of dental trauma observed in patients with neuropsychomotor disorder was 20.0%, whereas in the control group it was 16.6% (p&gt;0.05); in the control group the occurrence was higher in males. The groups differed according to the type of activity at the moment of the trauma (p&lt;0.05) in relation to the etiology (p&lt;0.05), and in relation to the place of occurrence (p&lt;0.05). For both groups, the most affected teeth were the maxillary central incisors. Enamel fractures, followed by enamel and dentin fractures without pulp exposure were the most common lesions in both groups. Conclusion The prevalence of dental trauma in individuals with neuropsychomotor alterations is similar to that of normorreative individuals, with a higher occurrence in females, in preteen phase, during routine activities.

title: Association of sociodemographic and clinical variables with initial staging in men with prostate cancer

description: Prostate cancer has become a Public Health problem, being the malignant neoplasm with the highest incidence rate in Brazilian men. Will be estimated, for the years of 2014 and 2015, 302,350 cases of cancer in males, of which 68,800 (22.8%) are from prostate cancer. The State of Espírito Santo is among the 7 Brazilian States with the highest incidence, with an estimated 1,580 cases of prostate cancer per year, reflecting an incidence rate of 88.72/100,000 inhabitants. In the State capital, Vitória, it is assumed that this rate is 107.21/100,000 inhabitants, representing 170 cases1. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with the initial staging in men with prostate cancer. An observational cross-sectional secondary data research, assessing 1,500 records of men with prostate cancer from 2000 to 2006 seen at a referral center for the treatment of prostate cancer in Vitória, Espírito Santo. For statistical treatment of the data were used χ2 test of association and logistic regression with Odds Ratios(OR). There was a predominance of men aged between 60 and 79 years (75%), non-white (61%), with incomplete primary education (65%), married (77%), using the Unified Health System (UHS) (60%), residing in the State Metropolitan Area (67%) and with clinical stage II (70%). The variables non-white (p=0.025), Gleason score ≥7 (p≤0.001) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) &gt;20 ng/dL (p≤0.001) were associated with late stage at diagnosis, while the undiagnosed referral without previous treatment (p≤0.001) or with diagnosis and treatment (p=0.018) were associated with a greater chance of early clinical staging. The variables that accounted for the increased risk of late stage at diagnosis can be modified by the adoption of specific public policies. With the advancement of the National Comprehensive Health Care of Men (NCHCM), it is expected that a larger number of men have access to the health care network, obtaining early diagnosis and timely treatment.

title: Multilevel approach to the use of dental services in SUS among Brazilian adults

description: Abstract Background Adults who demand for public or private dental services. Objective Factors associated with the use of dental services from SUS were identified among Brazilian adults, considering context and individual factors. Method It was used contextual data from 177 municipalities of DATA/SUS, IBGE, Atlas Brazil and SB Brazil / 2010 Project; and individual data from SB Brazil/2010. SPSS 19.0® was used in descriptive and bivariate analyzes and STATA 14.0® in multilevel analysis. Results The prevalence of use of services in SUS was 37.9%. The use of services in SUS was higher in municipalities with poor access to waste collection and lower in those with lower coverage of oral health teams. The use was lower among older men. Among those with lower schooling, lower family income, among blacks/brown/yellows and Indigenous, those with decayed teeth, and those who evaluated the dental appointment as regular/bad or bad. The greater use among the most vulnerable suggests equity. Conclusion Contextual and individual effects on the behavior of adults regarding the type of dental service used, which should be considered in oral health policies were verified in this study.

title: Immediate loading over lower prosthesis in edentulous mandibles: comparison between two types of prosthetic connection

description: ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluated two implant-abutment connection systems under immediate loading of lower prosthesis in edentulous mandibles. Methods: Seventy-two implants placed in 18 patients were analyzed. The parameters evaluated included probing depth, stability of implants and perimplant bone loss, which were measured immediately when installing the prosthesis and after 3 and 6 months. All data underwent statistical analysis (T-Test and ANOVA, 5% significance level). Results: Implants with Morse cone connections showed smaller, statistically significant probing depth values for all periods (0.68/1.19/1.31), when compared to the external hexagon connections (1.08/1.52/1.64). A statistically significant difference was observed between baseline, 3 months (p&lt;0.01 for Morse cone; p&lt;0.001 for external hexagon) and 6 months (p&lt;0.001 for both connections). When periods were considered there was a statistically significant difference in Implant Stability Quotient ISQ values between baseline and 6 months for both prosthetic connections. Conclusion: Immediate loading of the lower prosthesis is a viable option for the treatment of edentulous mandibles and that the external hexagon or Morse cone connections do not interfere with the success of the implants in a short-term evaluation.

title: APPLICATION OF ANTIOXIDANTS AND EDIBLE STARCH COATING TO REDUCE BROWNING OF MINIMALLY-PROCESSED CASSAVA

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the quality of minimally-processed cassava treated with antioxidants and a starch-based edible coating. Cassava roots were washed, cooled, immersed in cold water, peeled and then cut. Root pieces were then immersed in a chloride solution, centrifuged, and subsequently immersed in either a starch suspension (3%), a solution containing antioxidants (3% citric acid and 3% ascorbic acid), or in both the coating and antioxidant solutions. Coated root pieces were dried at 18 ± 2°C for 1 hour, then packaged into polypropylene bags (150 g per pack) and kept at 5 ± 2°C for 15 days, and assessed every 3 days. A completely randomized design was used in a 4 × 6 factorial consisting of the treatment (control, coating, antioxidant, or coating and antioxidant) and the storage period (0, 3 6, 9, 12 or 15 days), with three replicates in each group. The pH, blackened area and peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities of the cassava was reduced in treatments containing antioxidants and the scores of visual analysis and phenolic content were higher. Therefore, treatment with antioxidants was effective for reducing browning in minimally- processed cassava, retaining the quality of cassava pieces stored for 15 days at 5 ± 2°C. The combination of antioxidants and the edible coating showed no improvement compared to treatment with antioxidants alone.
