ABSTRACT Bird droppings are an unusual food resource for coprophagous insects and used mostly by opportunistic decomposers. Among them, dung beetles feed mainly on dung, although the species differ in their trophic plasticity. Here we report a record of a dung beetle, Canthidium cf. gracilipes, reaching and manipulating the dropping of a passeriform bird, Dendrocincla fuliginosa (Dendrocolaptidae). The behavior was observed in an urban forest fragment located in the Amazonian city of Manaus, Brazil. Two hours after the bird defecated, the dung beetle reached the dropping and started manipulating them with its fore- and hindlegs. It did not eat the dung, though. For a clear understanding of the relationships between bird droppings and Amazonian dung beetles, it will be important to perform standardized experiments with a wide variety of native dung and carrion types.

RESUMO Excrementos de aves correspondem a um recurso alimentar pouco comum para insetos coprófagos, sendo utilizados geralmente por decompositores oportunistas. Entre eles, os rola bostas se alimentam principalmente de fezes, entretanto a plasticidade alimentar varia entre as espécies. Neste estudo nós reportamos um registro do rola bosta Canthidium cf. gracilipes se aproximando de e manipulando os excrementos de uma ave passeriformes, Dendrocincla fuliginosa (Dendrocolaptidae). O comportamento foi observado em um fragmento localizado na cidade amazônica de Manaus, Brasil. Duas horas depois de que a ave defecou, o rola bosta se aproximou das fezes e começou a manipulá-las com as patas anteriores e posteriores. Entretanto, não se observou consumo do excremento. Para uma compreensão mais clara das relações entre os excrementos de aves e os rola bostas amazônicos, é importante a realização de experimentos padronizados com uma ampla variedade de fezes e carcaças nativas.

Abstract Background In view of the absence of effective therapy for COVID-19, many studies have been conducted seeking to identify determining factors for the development of severe forms, aiming to direct efforts to avoid the worst outcomes in patients susceptible to severe conditions. One of the main comorbidities associated with complicated forms of the disease is systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). Objective To assess aspects of the clinical, demographic, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of hypertensive patients with COVID-19 to contribute to the knowledge of the relationship between the presence of this comorbidity and the severity of the disease. Methods A total of 380 patients with a diagnosis of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalized between June and August 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of a previous diagnosis of hypertension. For comparison between groups, a significant difference was established if p < 0.05. Results Of the total of 380 patients, 202 (53.16%) had a clinical diagnosis of SAH. Hypertensive patients were significantly older (p < 0.01) and had more comorbidities (p < 0.01) than the non-hypertensive group. In laboratory tests, hypertensive patients had higher levels of blood glucose (p = 0.014), creatinine (p = 0.002), and urea (p = 0.003), while values for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p < 0.01), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p = 0.006), and sodium (p = 0.024) were lower. There was no difference between groups in radiographic parameters. Conclusions This study showed that, although the hypertensive group had some laboratory alterations that elicited severe disease, these patients did not have worse outcomes.

Abstract The pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is complex. Few studies in Brazilian population have addressed cell phenotypes associated with immunological responses and their associations with SLE activity. The aim of this study is to investigate cell phenotypes associated to SLE diagnosis, treatment and activity. Twenty-eight SLE female patients (17 inactive, 11 active) and 10 healthy women were included in this study. Markers of natural killer (Nk), T and B cells in peripheral blood were evaluated by flow cytometry. Nkt cells were decreased only in SLE active patients. Activated CD4+, regulatory T FoxP3+ and B cells were decreased in both active and inactive SLE patients, compared to control group. The data corroborate the disruption of immune regulatory response in SLE patients and suggest phenotipic changes as possible biomarkers of SLE activity.

ABSTRACT Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common gastrointestinal tract anomaly. It arises from the incomplete closure of the omphalomesenteric conduit, which is a true diverticulum at the antimesenteric border of the ileum. Although the majority of patients are asymptomatic, they can present with inflammation, hemorrhage, intussusception, intestinal obstruction, and perforation, among others; this constitutes an important differential diagnosis for acute abdomen. A 19-year-old female sought medical attention because of intermittent diffuse abdominal pain for two months, nausea, and diarrhea. In the requested imaging tests, tomography, and enterotomography, a diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum with some degree of intussusception was suggested. The patient underwent elective surgical treatment without complications and was discharged on the second postoperative day with clinical improvement. In this section, we review publications on similar cases published in the last five years.

Abstract Introduction The literature still lacks evidence about patient-reported outcome measures to fast screen the reduced physical performance of the lower body in older adults to be applied in any clinical setting as primary health care or without specific instruments in prevention campaigns, or even easy to be applied by phone. Objective: To develop a brief questionnaire to screen the lower body functional performance in community-dwelling older adults and to validate this new questionnaire with objective clinical tests. Methods A convenience sampling of 221 community-dwelling older adults was included in this cross-sectional study. The validity between Brief-LBFPQ and objective tests such as gait speed, Timed-Up and Go test (TUG), 5-Time Stand-to-Sit test (5TSST), and step test were assessed by multinominal logistic regression. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach’s alpha and Test-retest reliability was determined using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for numeral scale and Cohen’s Kappa for ordinal scale. Results Brief-LBFPQ was significantly associated with objective tests. All eight items from Brief-LBFPQ presented an absolute agreement with ICCs values above 0.7. Kappa values of Brief-LBFPQ items ranged from 0.6 to 0.83, showing substantial agreement and perfect agreement. Conclusion Brief-LBFPQ could be very useful in general clinic settings as it provides earlier screening of functional impairment in independent older adults, and consequently may allow an earlier intervention approach.

Resumo Introdução A literatura ainda carece de evidências acerca de instrumentos de autorrelato para o rastreio rápido do prejuízo no desempenho físico dos membros inferiores em idosos, que possam ser aplicados em qualquer ambiente clínico, como na Atenção Básica à Saúde, e que não requeiram nenhum ins-trumento específico para campanhas de prevenção, ou mesmo de fácil aplicação por contato telefônico. Objetivo Desenvolver um breve questionário para triagem do desempenho funcional dos membros inferiores em idosos da comunidade e validar este novo questionário com testes clínicos objetivos. Métodos Uma amostra de conveniência de 221 idosos da comunidade foi incluída neste estudo transversal. A validade entre o Brief-LBFPQ e os testes objetivos como velocidade da marcha, Timed-Up and Go (TUG), teste de levantar e sentar 5 vezes (TLS5x) e teste do degrau foi avaliada pela regressão logística multinominal. A consistência interna foi determinada pelo alfa de Cronbach e a confiabilidade teste-reteste foi determinada pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) para a escala numérica e o Kappa de Cohen para a escala ordinal. Resultados O Brief-LBFPQ foi significativamente associado aos testes objetivos. Todos os oito itens do Brief-LBFPQ apresentaram concordância absoluta com valores de CCI acima de 0,7. Os valores de Kappa dos itens do Brief-LBFPQ variaram de 0,6 a 0,83, mostrando concordância substancial e concordância perfeita. Conclusão O Brief-LBFPQ pode ser muito útil em diferentes ambientes clínicos, pois permite uma triagem precoce do comprometimento funcional em idosos independentes e, consequentemente, pode permitir uma abordagem de intervenção mais precoce.

ABSTRACT The Sphenoid Sinus is considered the paranasal sinus with more variation to the degree of pneumatization. Thus, this work aimed report to the first case on the interference of this anatomical variation for orthognathic surgery. A 18- year-old woman, with isolated cleft palate repaired, was submitted to orthognathic surgery to correct the maxillomandibular skeletal discrepancy. The cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) exam performed for preoperative planning showed a great extension for the adjacent structures, with proximity to the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus and pterygomaxillary fissure bilaterally. The postoperative CBCT image evidenced the compromise of the sinus floor due to the factors related to the transoperative period. This case, along with literature review, highlighted the importance of identifying sphenoid sinus variation in CBCT exams prior to orthognathic surgery, in order to avoid serious complications for the patient, such as sinus infections; hemorrhages; mucocele formation or intracranial involvement.

RESUMO O Seio Esfenoidal é considerado o seio paranasal com maior variação quanto ao grau de pneumatização. Assim, este trabalho objetivou relatar o primeiro caso sobre a interferência dessa variação anatômica para a cirurgia ortognática. Mulher,18 anos, com fissura de palato isolada reparada, foi submetida à cirurgia ortognática para correção da discrepância esquelética maxilomandibular. O exame de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), realizado para planejamento pré-operatório, mostrou grande extensão para as estruturas adjacentes, e com proximidade da parede posterior do seio maxilar e fissura pterigomaxilar bilateralmente. A imagem de TCFC pós-operatória evidenciou o comprometimento do assoalho do seio devido aos fatores relacionados ao transoperatório. Este caso, juntamente com a revisão da literatura, destacou a importância de identificar a variação do seio esfenoidal nos exames de TCFC prévios à cirurgia ortognática, a fim de evitar complicações graves para o paciente, tais como sinusite, hemorragias, formação de mucoceles ou, até mesmo, envolvimento intracraniano.

ABSTRACT ABS resins have wide application in the market, mainly in the manufacture of household appliances, telephones, automotive industry and others, and need to be processed by extrusion for the manufacture of products. The variables used in the process of extrusion of polymers have a direct influence on their mechanical properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the different speeds of the extruder screw (15, 30, 45 and 60 rpm) on the mechanical properties of raw ABS after the extrusion process. Izod impact resistance and tensile tests, were also performed. The fractures of the samples tested by Izod impact were observed via optical microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and roughness was measured. Calorimetric tests (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TGA), as well as melt flow index (MFI), were also performed. The most significant results were observed for the extruder screw speed of 60 rpm. For the impact test, a reduction in impact energy of approximately 3% was observed, with the same result for tensile resistance. However, an increase in the value of the elastic modulus and the MFI was observed due to the increase in the degree of crystallinity, which was caused by the higher shear of the polymer mass in the screw of the extrusion equipment. Additionally, an atypical case occurred for the ABS polymer in the highest rotation, since it was the polymer that suffered the greatest shear in the polymer chains due to the degradation of the butadiene phase.

Abstract Playwrights Franca Rame and Dario Fo are known for their use of laughter as an instrument to ridicule the powerful and empower the underprivileged classes. Of their long period in activity, probably the most engaged is the 1970s, a time when, among others, they wrote the play Non si paga, non si paga (1974; 2000), recently translated into the audiovisual in Brazil, in the film Não vamos pagar nada, written by Renato Fagundes and directed by João Fonseca, released in October 2020. This work intends to investigate how this translation adapts the work of Rame and Fo to the Brazilian political context of the pandemic. Important references for our reflection are Diniz, Edo, Rosenfeld and Zatlin, and on the theater of Fo and Rame, Farrell.

Abstract Lipolytic substance injections to reduce localized fat have been extensively used because it is a low-invasive method. This review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deoxycholic acid in submental fat reduction compared to a placebo and investigate the potential industry sponsorship bias in the results of randomized clinical trials on this topic. Ten electronic databases were extensively searched for randomized clinical trials without restriction on language and year of publication. Two reviewers extracted the data and assessed the individual risk of bias in the studies with the RoB 2.0 tool. The industry sponsorship bias was evaluated according to citations in the articles regarding industry funding/sponsorship throughout the texts. Fixed and random effects meta-analyses were performed, and the results were reported in Risk Ratio (RR) at a 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI). The initial search provided 5756 results, of which only five were included. Only two studies had a low risk of bias. All studies showed a potential industry bias. The meta-analysis showed that patients treated with deoxycholic acid had significant positive results for all efficacy outcomes and a higher risk of fibrosis, pain, erythema, numbness, swelling, edema, pruritus, nodules, headache, and paresthesia. The low to moderate certainty of evidence found allows concluding that deoxycholic acid is effective in submental fat reduction, causing well-tolerated adverse effects. However, all eligible studies showed a potential industry bias.

ABSTRACT The SISBIOTA-BRASIL was a three-year multimillion-dollar research program of the Brazilian government to document plants and animals in endangered/understudied areas and biomes in Brazil. Distributional patterns and the historical events that generated them are extensively unknown regarding Brazilian fauna and flora. This deficiency hinders the development of conservation policies and the understanding of evolutionary processes. Conservation decisions depend on precise knowledge of the taxonomy and geographic distribution of species. Given such a premise, we proposed to research the diversity of Diptera of the Brazilian western arc of Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal in the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rondônia. Three important biomes of the South American continent characterize these Brazilian states: Amazon forest, Cerrado (Brazilian Savannah), and Pantanal. Besides their ecological relevance, these biomes historically lack intensive entomological surveys. Therefore, they are much underrepresented in the Brazilian natural history collections and in the scientific literature, which is further aggravated by the fact that these areas are being exponentially and rapidly converted to commercial lands. Our project involved over 90 collaborators from 24 different Brazilian institutions and one from Colombia among researchers, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students, and technicians. We processed and analyzed nearly 300,000 specimens from ~60 families of Diptera collected with a large variety of methods in the sampled areas. Here, we provide a detailed overview of the genera and species diversity of 41 families treated. Our results point to a total of 2,130 species and 514 genera compiled and identified for the three states altogether, with an increase of 41% and 29% in the numbers of species and genera known for the three states combined, respectively. Overall, the 10 most species-rich families were Tachinidae, Cecidomyiidae, Tabanidae, Psychodidae, Sarcophagidae, Stratiomyidae, Bombyliidae, Syrphidae, Tephritidae, and Asilidae. The 10 most diverse in the number of genera were Tachinidae, Stratiomyidae, Asilidae, Mycetophilidae, Syrphidae, Tabanidae, Muscidae, Dolichopodidae, Sarcophagidae, and Chloropidae. So far, 111 scientific papers were published regarding taxonomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographical aspects of the studied families, with the description of 101 new species and three new genera. We expect that additional publications will result from this investigation because several specimens are now curated and being researched by specialists.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the strength and agility of wheelchair rugby (WR) athletes with different functional classifications (FC) and describe the relationship between agility and upper extremity isometric muscle strength (IMS). A total of 10 WR athletes were analyzed, divided into two groups: Group 1 (G1): FC 0.5 and 1.0; and Group 2(G2): FC 1.5 to 2.5. IMS was evaluated by a dynamometer, and agility by a zig-zag test. Spearman’s correlation was used to describe the relationship between IMS and performance on the agility test. In contrast, the t-test was used to compare strength and agility between different FCs (p≤0.05). Shoulder extensor IMS was higher in G2 athletes (p=0.001; d=3.10), which were also more agile than G1 athletes (G1=23.66s>G2=17.55s; p=0.015; d=2.00). Both groups showed a correlation between bilateral shoulder extensor strength and agility (r=−0.721; p=0.019). Athletes with high FC scores are more agile than athletes with low scores and, therefore, have greater movement speed when performing WR tasks. Greater shoulder extensor muscle strength is associated with greater agility in WR athletes.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la fuerza y la agilidad de los deportistas de rugby en silla de ruedas (RSR) desde diferentes clasificaciones funcionales (CF), así como describir la relación entre la agilidad y la fuerza muscular isométrica (FMI) de las extremidades superiores. Se evaluaron a diez deportistas RSR en dos grupos: Grupo 1 (G1): CF 0,5 y 1,0; y Grupo 2 (G2): CF 1,5 a 2,5. En la evaluación de la FMI se utilizó la dinamometría; y en la evaluación de la agilidad, la prueba de zigzag. La correlación de Spearman se utilizó para describir la relación entre la FMI y el rendimiento en la prueba de agilidad, mientras que la prueba t se utilizó para comparar la fuerza y la agilidad entre las diferentes CF (p≤0,05). La FMI de los extensores del hombro fue mayor en el G2 (p=0,001; d=3,10), y este también fue más ágil que el G1 (G1=23,66s>G2=17,55s; p=0,015; d=2,00). Hubo una correlación entre la fuerza muscular bilateral de los extensores del hombro y la agilidad en ambos grupos (r=−0,721; p=0,019). Los deportistas con altas puntuaciones de CF fueron los más ágiles en comparación con aquellos con bajas puntuaciones, por lo tanto, se constata que tienen una mayor velocidad de desplazamiento en la realización de tareas de RSR. Una mayor fuerza muscular de los extensores de hombro se asocia con una mayor agilidad en los deportistas RSR.

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi comparar a força e a agilidade de atletas do rúgbi em cadeira de rodas (RCR) por meio de diferentes classificações funcionais (CFs), bem como descrever a relação da agilidade com a força muscular isométrica (FMI) de membros superiores. Foram analisados 10 atletas de RCR, divididos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 (G1): CF 0,5 e 1,0; e Grupo 2 (G2): CF 1,5 a 2,5. A FMI foi avaliada pela dinamometria, e a agilidade pelo teste em ziguezague. A correlação de Spearman foi utilizada para descrever a relação entre a FMI e o desempenho no teste de agilidade, enquanto o teste t foi usado para comparar a força e a agilidade entre as diferentes CFs (p≤0,05). A FMI dos extensores do ombro foi maior no G2 (p=0,001; d=3,10), que também se mostrou mais ágil que o G1 (G1=23,66s>G2=17,55s; p=0,015; d=2,00). Verificou-se a correlação entre força muscular bilateral de extensores de ombro e agilidade em ambos os grupos (r=−0,721; p=0,019). Atletas com pontuação alta na CF são mais ágeis comparados a atletas com pontuações baixas e, portanto, apresentam maior velocidade de deslocamento ao executar as tarefas do RCR. Maior força muscular dos extensores de ombro é associada à maior agilidade em atletas do RCR.

ABSTRACT Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease associated with cognitive impairment. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has been used as a recommended global cognition scale for patients with PD, but there are some concerns about its application, partially due to the floor and ceiling effects. Objective: To explore the floor and ceiling effects on the MoCA in patients with PD in Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study with data from patients with PD from five Brazilian Movement Disorders Clinics, excluding individuals with a possible diagnosis of dementia. We analyzed the total score of the MoCA, as well as its seven cognitive domains. The floor and ceiling effects were evaluated for the total MoCA score and domains. Multivariate analyses were performed to detect factors associated with floor and ceiling effects. Results: We evaluated data from 366 patients with PD and approximately 19% of individuals had less than five years of education. For the total MoCA score, there was no floor or ceiling effect. There was a floor effect in the abstraction and delayed memory recall domains in 20% of our sample. The ceiling effect was demonstrated in all domains (80.8% more common in naming and 89% orientation), except delayed recall. Education was the main factor associated with the floor and ceiling effects, independent of region, sex, age at evaluation, and disease duration. Conclusion: The floor and ceiling effects are present in specific domains of the MoCA in Brazil, with a strong impact on education. Further adaptations of the MoCA structure for underrepresented populations may reduce these negative effects.

RESUMO A doença de Parkinson (DP) é uma doença neurodegenerativa comum associada ao declínio cognitivo. A Avaliação Cognitiva de Montreal (Montreal Cognitive Assessment — MoCA) tem sido usada como uma escala de cognição global recomendada para pacientes com DP, mas existem algumas preocupações sobre sua aplicação, em parte pelos efeitos solo e teto. Objetivo: Explorar os efeitos solo e teto na MoCA em pacientes com DP no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal com dados de pacientes com DP oriundos de cinco Clínicas de Distúrbios de Movimento no Brasil, excluindo-se pessoas com possível diagnóstico de demência. Nós analisamos a pontuação total da MoCA, assim como a de seus sete domínios cognitivos. Os efeitos solo e teto foram avaliados para a pontuação total da MoCA e seus domínios. Foram feitas análises multivariadas para a detecção de fatores associados os efeitos solo e teto. Resultados: Nós avaliamos dados de 366 pacientes com DP, e aproximadamente 19% das pessoas tinham menos que cinco anos de escolaridade. Para a pontuação total do MoCA, não houve efeito solo ou teto. Houve efeito solo nos domínios abstração e memória de evocação tardia em 20% de nossa amostra. O efeito teto foi demonstrado em todos os domínios (80,8% mais comum em nomeação e 89% orientação), com exceção de memória de evocação tardia. A educação foi o principal fator associado aos efeitos solo e teto, independentemente de região, sexo, idade na avaliação e duração da doença. Conclusão: Os efeitos solo e teto estão presentes em domínios específicos da MoCA no Brasil, com forte impacto da educação. Adaptações adicionais à estrutura da MoCA para populações vulneráveis podem reduzir esses efeitos negativos.

Resumo A humildade é uma qualidade pouco estudada no ambiente organizacional. O interesse pelas pesquisas acerca da humildade passou a ganhar alguma representatividade a partir deste século. Contudo, as revisões de literatura sobre a humildade na gestão são raras, tornando-se oportuna a sistematização do conhecimento relevante deste campo. Evidenciar a estrutura intelectual do domínio, as pesquisas atuais e as oportunidades de investigação associadas à humildade nas organizações é o objetivo desta pesquisa. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo bibliométrico no período 2000-2020, e analisados indicadores de atividade e relacionais - cocitações e acoplamento bibliográfico. Os resultados mostram três grandes linhas temáticas que compõem a estrutura intelectual do campo: (i) conceitos, antecedentes e atributos organizacionais., (ii) métodos e escalas, e (iii) questões comportamentais. As pesquisas atuais estão organizadas em quatro grandes frentes: (i) humildade expressa, (ii) humildade e q, (iii) humildade e equipes, e (iv) humildade e comportamento organizacional. Ao final é apresentada uma agenda de pesquisa futura, com destaque para a análise de como a humildade expressa e os comportamentos humildes podem ser ensinados e internalizados na cultura organizacional.

Abstract Humility is a characteristic little studied in the organizational environment. The interest in research on humility started to gain some representativeness this century. However, literature reviews on humility in management are rare, making it necessary to systematize the relevant knowledge in this field. This research highlights the intellectual structure of the domain, the current studies, and research opportunities associated with humility in organizations. A bibliometric study was carried out from 2000 to 2020, and activity and relationship indicators, such as co-citations and bibliographic coupling, were analyzed. Results show three major thematic lines that make up the intellectual structure of the field: (i) concepts, antecedents, and organizational attributes, (i) methods and scales, and (iii) behavioral issues. This research is organized on four major fronts: (i) expressed humility, (ii) humility and CEOs, (iii) humility and teams, and (iv) humility and organizational behavior. Finally, an agenda for future research is presented, emphasizing the analysis of how expressed humility and humble behavior can be taught and internalized in the organizational culture.

Resumen La humildad es una cualidad poco estudiada en el entorno organizacional. El interés por la investigación sobre la humildad comenzó a ganar representación a partir de este siglo. Sin embargo, las revisiones de la literatura sobre la humildad en la gestión son escasas, por lo que es oportuno sistematizar los conocimientos relevantes en este campo. Evidenciar la estructura intelectual del dominio, la investigación actual y las oportunidades de investigación asociadas con la humildad en las organizaciones es el objetivo de esta investigación. Para ello, se realizó un estudio bibliométrico en el período 2000-2020, y se analizaron indicadores de actividad y relacionales ‒ cocitación y acoplamiento bibliográfico ‒. Los resultados muestran tres líneas temáticas principales que conforman la estructura intelectual del campo: (i) conceptos, antecedentes y atributos organizacionales, (ii) métodos y escalas, y (iii) cuestiones de comportamiento. La investigación actual se organiza en cuatro frentes principales: (i) humildad expresada, (ii) humildad y directores ejecutivos, (iii) humildad y equipos, y (iv) humildad y comportamiento organizacional. Al final, se presenta una agenda de investigación futura, con énfasis en el análisis de cómo se pueden enseñar e internalizar la humildad expresada y los comportamientos humildes en la cultura organizacional.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the oral health condition and dental treatments performed in patients in pre-allogeneic HCT. Method: The records of patients treated during 2018 at a Brazilian HCT service were reviewed. The following oral health data were obtained: 1. Decayed, missing and filled teeth / correlated index for primary dentition (DMFT/dmft); 2. Quality of oral hygiene and 3. Dental pathologies: 3.1 Periodontal infectious focus, 3.2 Endodontic infectious focus and 3.3 Carie incidence. All dental procedures performed were surveyed. Results: Thirty-three patients were included, with a mean age of 28.42 (±16.37), 20 male (60%) and 13 female. The average DMFT/dmft found in this study was 10.24 (± 8.37), similar to the index found in the population in southeastern Brazil. The younger study population presented a DMFT/dmft considered high, when compared to the general population. A total of 27.2% of the patients had active caries lesions, 33.3%, foci of periodontal infection, 15.1%, endodontic infectious focus and 40%, poor oral hygiene. Almost half of the patients (48.4%) had to undergo dental intervention, 24.2% needing periodontal scaling, 21.2%, fillings and 12.1%, tooth extractions. Conclusion: We conclude that the studied population had an important incidence of dental pathologies and infectious conditions that could complicate throughout HCT, especially in younger patients, therefore presenting a high demand for dental treatment in the pre-HCT. Studies that assess the impact of dental conditioning on the outcomes of HCT with an emphasis on dental infectious complications, days of hospitalization and survival are necessary.”

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to analyze the inflammation index, edema, bacterial plaque presence and postoperative discomfort, with the use of chlorhexidine gel. This is a randomized double-blinded pilot study, with 21 unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals, randomized into 2 groups: Test Group (TG), with 7 individuals who used 0.2 % chlorhexidine bioadhesive gel in the surgical wound after the bone graft; and Control Group (CG) with 14 individuals who used a placebo gel as the same way. The gel was applied on the surgical wound suture after alveolar bone graft. The evaluation criteria of the gel application effectiveness were the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain control and/or discomfor t and clinical evaluation of inflammatory condition and/or wound infection. The study showed promising results for postoperativel y use of the chlorhexidine gel, although there was no statistically significant difference between the groups.

RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el índice de inflamación, edema, presencia de placa bacteriana y molestias postoperatorias, con el uso del gel de clorhexidina. Se trata de un estudio piloto aleatorizado, doble ciego, con 21 individuos con fisura labial y palatina unilateral, aleatorizados en 2 grupos: Grupo Test (GT), con 7 individuos que utilizaron gel bioadhesivo de clorhexidina al 0,2 % en la herida quirúrgica posterior al injerto óseo; y Grupo Control (GC) con 14 individuos que usaron un gel placebo de la misma forma. El gel se aplicó sobre la sutura de la herida quirúrgica después del injerto óseo alveolar. Los criterios de evaluación de la efectividad de la aplicación del gel fueron la escala analógica visual (EVA) para el control del dolor y/o malestar y la evaluación clínica del estado inflamatorio y/o infección de la herida. El estudio mostró resultados positivos para el uso posoperatorio del gel de clorhexidina, aunque no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos.
