RESUMO A perda em altura da crista óssea alveolar pós extração dentária torna a reabilitação da maxila posterior desafiadora devido à baixa densidade e atrofia ósseas, além da pneumatização do seio maxilar. A cirurgia sinusal previamente à instalação de implantes viabiliza a reabilitação implantossuportada. Esse estudo teve como objetivo apresentar um relato de caso clínico submetido à cirurgia de levantamento de seio maxilar pela técnica da janela lateral previamente à reabilitação com prótese suportada por implantes dentários, destacando a importância do planejamento para minimizar complicações transoperatórias. Esse é um relato de caso clínico de um paciente do sexo masculino, 59 anos de idade, assistido em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Privada, com queixa de espaços edêntulos e desejo de reabilitação com implantes. Foi submetido ao planejamento reabilitador incluindo o tratamento cirúrgico de levantamento de seio maxilar bilateral pela técnica da janela lateral. O ganho ósseo foi confirmado pela tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico após seis meses da abordagem cirúrgica do seio maxilar bilateralmente. O planejamento reabilitador da região posterior da maxila e a execução da cirurgia de levantamento de seio pela técnica da janela lateral de maneira criteriosa consiste em uma opção terapêutica previsível para os casos clínicos com necessidade de ganho ósseo em altura previamente à instalação de implantes dentários. O caso clínico apresentado demonstrou sucesso no ganho de volume ósseo na região posterior de maxila, sem complicações pós-operatórias e o paciente segue satisfeito com o tratamento proposto, aguardando conclusão da reabilitação implantossuportada.

ABSTRACT The loss in height of the alveolar bone crest after tooth extraction makes rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla challenging due to low bone density and atrophy, in addition to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus lift surgery prior to implant placement makes implant-supported rehabilitation feasible. This study aimed to describe a case report of maxillary sinus surgery using the side window technique prior to rehabilitation with a prosthesis supported by dental implants, highlighting the importance of planning to minimize intraoperative complications. This is a clinical case report of a 59-year-old male patient who was assisted at a private higher education institution complaining of edentulous spaces and the desire for rehabilitation with implants. He underwent rehabilitation planning, including the surgical treatment of maxillary sinus lifting using the side window technique. Bone gain was confirmed using cone beam computed tomography six months after the surgical approach to the maxillary sinus. The planning of rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla and careful sinus lift surgery using the side window technique is a predictable therapeutic option for clinical cases with bone gain in height of the posterior region of the maxilla prior to the installation of dental implants. The clinical case presented demonstrated success in the gain of bone volume in the posterior region of the maxilla, without postoperative complications, and the patient was still satisfied with the proposed treatment, awaiting complete implant-supported rehabilitation.

Objective: To determine whether there are differences in quality of life (QoL) improvement after treatment with the trial-based thought record (TBTR) versus conventional cognitive therapy (CCT) in patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Method: A randomized trial comparing TBTR with a set of CCT techniques, which included the standard 7-column dysfunctional thought record (DTR) and the positive data log (PDL) in patients with SAD, generalized type. Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant time effect in the general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health domains of the Short Form 36. It also indicated significant treatment effects on the bodily pain, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health domains, with higher scores in the TBTR group. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), using pretreatment values as covariates, showed that TBTR was associated with significantly better QoL post-treatment (bodily pain, social functioning and role-emotional) and at follow-up (role-emotional). A significant treatment effect on the role-emotional domain at 12-month follow-up denoted a sustained effect of TBTR relative to CCT. Conclusion: This study provided preliminary evidence that TBTR is at least as effective as CCT in improving several domains of QoL in SAD, specifically when the standard 7-column DTR and the PDL are used.

The development of point mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain is the main reason for imatinib resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia. Different detection methods are used in chronic myeloid leukemia monitoring, such as direct sequencing, denaturing high performance liquid chromatography and allele specific polymerase chain reaction. Mutation analysis has become mandatory during patient workup of chronic myeloid leukemia in order for the physician to choose the most suitable tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This article, a review of possible therapies used to overcome imatinib resistance, investigates the current position by searching the PubMed electronic database using the following keywords: imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, aurora kinase, SRC kinase, mutation, treatment, drugs and resistance. New tyrosine kinase inhibitors include BCR-ABL kinase selective inhibitors, dual ABL/SRC kinase inhibitors and aurora kinase inhibitors. Awareness of the spectrum of new drugs against mutations, in particular the T315I mutation, makes it possible to properly select the best therapy for each patient.
