ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to analyze luxation injuries in children between the ages of 0 and 5 years treated at an emergency service department. A total of 1,703 records, corresponding to a period of 10 years at the Emergency Center of the Baby Clinic at Londrina State University, Brazil, were analyzed. The age, gender, etiologic factors, type of injury, injured teeth, treatment and time interval between injury and treatment were determined for each patient. Of the examined records, 409 patients met the study criteria and included a total of 679 injured teeth. Statistical analyses were carried out using the chi-square test with the level of significance set at 5%. Trauma incidence was higher in boys (57.0%) and in children less than two years of age (40.3%). Falling while walking or running was the most predominant etiologic factor (37.7%), and the most prevalent type of injury was subluxation (32.6%). Luxation injuries decreased with increasing age (p = 0.045). Treatment usually occurred within the first 1-15 days and was significantly associated with the type of trauma (p = 0.041). "Monitor only" was the treatment most frequently observed (74.0%). In conclusion, more luxation injuries were found in younger children, predominantly in boys. Falls resulting from walking or running were the etiologic factor most observed, with subluxation as the most common type of trauma. Treatment usually occurred within the first 15 days after the injury. Despite the severity of these injuries, "monitor only" was the eligible treatment.

The purposes of this study were to investigate radiographically the dental and maxillomandibular in patients with neuropsychomotor disorders and determine the role of panoramic radiographs for quantitative and qualitative analyses of dental alterations. A total of 322 panoramic radiographs from 190 males and 132 females aged 4 to 57 years were obtained from the files of the Center for Care to Patients with Special Needs (CAPE; Dental School, University of São Paulo) and subdivided into syndromes, special needs, neurological, neuromuscular or cerebral disorders, and sequels of diseases. 32% of dental alterations were in tooth position, with 69% of this group associated with tooth rotation. The mandible accounted for 54.62% of alterations. The male gender (55.85%) and the permanent dentition (78.7%) were most affected. Panoramic radiographs were proved to be well suited for quantitative evaluation of dental anomalies of epidemiological nature. Panoramic radiographs are important diagnostic resources when applied to patients with special needs because of the difficulty to place intraoral films and held them correctly positioned during the radiographic technique.

O diagnóstico preciso e a elaboração de um plano de tratamento adequado podem constituir uma tarefa bastante complexa, especialmente nos traumatismos dentoalveolares, pois necessitam de uma abordagem multidisciplinar e conhecimento sobre o processo de reparo após o traumatismo. O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar o conhecimento dos cirurgiões dentistas sobre plano de tratamento das injúrias do ligamento periodontal após traumatismo dentoalveolar. Para tanto, a partir de um questionário, foram abordadas perguntas referentes ao perfil dos profissionais entrevistados e conduta frente às injúrias do ligamento periodontal (concussão, subluxação, luxação extrusiva, luxação lateral e luxação intrusiva) ocasionadas por traumatismo dentoalveolar. Seiscentos e noventa e três cirurgiões dentistas que participaram da 23ª Reunião Anual da SBPqO (2006) responderam o questionário e os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise descritiva, enquanto o teste estatístico foi aplicado para demonstrar as freqüências e o nível de significância entre as variáveis (Teste qui-quadrado ou Teste Exato de Fisher). De acordo com os resultados obtidos, grandes dificuldades foram encontradas com relação ao plano de tratamento das luxações extrusiva, lateral e intrusiva. De maneira geral, a especialidade não influenciou na elaboração de planos adequados para as injúrias mais complexas. Foi possível concluir que os cirurgiões dentistas não apresentam conhecimento suficiente para tratar de maneira adequada as injúrias mais severas do ligamento periodontal após traumatismo dentoalveolar

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the Brazilian Driving Dry Law reached its goal after the three years following its enactment. METHODS: We onnducted a retrospective study of patients with craniofacial fractures who underwent surgery at a university hospital in two periods: before the Law (2005 to 2008) and after the Law (2008 to 2011). RESULTS: 265 patients (220 men and 45 women) were operated on during this period, 149 (56%) before and 116 (44%) after the Law, which indicates a reduction in the number of traumatisms (p=0.04). The age range between 19 and 40 years predominated in both periods. The main causes of traumas were car accidents, physical aggression and falls. Alcohol abuse was identified in 15.4% patients before and 19% patients after the enactment. The jaw and the maxillo-zygomatic complex were the most affected bones. CONCLUSION: The drop in the number of polytraumatized patients operated on at this institution in the three years following the Driving Dry Law was 22%, which is below the expected and desired percentage. These results must be compared to those of different services offering the same attendance type in order to compile data and enlarge statistics. The low index of reduction in the number of traumatisms and the report of alcohol abuse by several patients at the moment of trauma, even after the law, evidence the need of adopting stricter measures to control and punish violators.

The artistic gymnastics is a modality that associates arts with biomechanical gestures, and it has been prominent among children and adolescents. Its practice can lead to sports injuries; therefore, it is important to know the factors inherent to trauma for the formulation of preventive models. Thus, the objective of this study was to characterize sports injuries and to verify factors associated with injury in people practicing artistic gymnastics with different levels of competitiveness. Forty-six gymnasts were interviewed with mean age of 10.1±2.0 years for female participants, who were classified in two competitive levels, i.e, initiation and training. We used the morbidity questionnaire adapted to sports characteristics to collect personal, training, and injury data. It was observed that injury risk was 0.3 injuries per athlete and 1.4 injuries per injured athlete, in which the gymnasts of the training category showed a higher frequency of the injury (83.3%; n=10) compared with the ones in the initiation category (10.5%; n=4). For both levels of competitiveness, training moment and light severity were the most reported variables. In the mechanism, contactless was more prevalent in the training category (90%; n=9) and the direct contact was more common at initiation category (75%; n=3). Anthropometric and training variables were considered as factors associated with injury to the gymnasts. It is concluded that gymnasts of the training category have higher injury frequency. Anthropometric and training variables were factors associated with injury. Characteristics of the injuries depend on the competitiveness level of the gymnasts.

Patients who went through a Stroke may require mechanical ventilation (MV) in the acute phase of the disease and, on MV, they may show alterations in the respiratory mechanic. Physiotherapy techniques are applied in patients on MV to improve their respiratory mechanic. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Respiratory Physiotherapy into the dynamic compliance (Cdyn), static compliance (Cst) and airway resistance (Rwa) in Stroke patients on MV. In order to do that, patients with Stroke diagnostic on MV were evaluated, before and after the use of Physiotherapy techniques (manual rib-cage compression, thoracic decompression, zero end expiratory pressure and suctioning). Cdyn, Cst and Rwa were the researched variables. Statistical Analysis was made using Paired T-Test with statistical significance with p-values no greater than 5%. Eleven patients were part of the study, with an average of 64,6±12,5 years old. Cdyn increased after physiotherapy from 29,3±16,1 ml/cmH2O to 33,8±16,7 ml/cmH2O (p=0,03). Cst also increased from 44,4±20,7 ml/cmH2O to 54,0±26,6 ml/cmH2O (p=0,024). No significant difference was detected for Rwa between the before and after moments (Before – 8,0±3,2 cmH2O/l/s, After – 7,3±2,25 cmH2O/l/s; p=0,45). It was possible to conclude that both dynamic and static compliance increased after physiotherapy, but the airway resistance did not increase in patients with stroke on mechanical ventilation.

A disfonia espasmódica é um distúrbio vocal grave, caracterizada por espasmos musculares laríngeos durante a fonação, produzindo voz tensa e estrangulada. Atualmente, acredita-se que tenha origem neurológica, mas há evidências que associam suas causas com alterações psicogênicas. O presente estudo visa descrever dois casos diagnosticados como disfonia espasmódica, com manifestações fonoaudiológicas e psicológicas distintas. O estudo descritivo foi realizado por meio de análise dos prontuários, incluindo avaliação otorrinolaringológica, neurológica, avaliação vocal perceptivo-auditiva, análise acústica e Protocolo de Qualidade de Vida e Voz (QVV). Caso 1: sexo feminino, 65 anos, discreta coaptação de bandas ventriculares, fenda fusiforme e intenso tremor laríngeo. Apresentou quadro de alucinação, diagnosticada, posteriormente, como Esquizofrenia. Faz uso de Risperidona e Pondera. Apresentou loudness rebaixado, pitch agravado, rouquidão, hipernasalidade leve, tempo máximo de fonação reduzido, incoordenação pneumofonoarticulátoria e G², R², Bº, Aº, S³. Caso 2: sexo feminino, 68 anos, alteração das pregas vocais e intenso estrangulamento de bandas ventriculares. Sofreu três acidentes vasculares encefálicos (AVE) e, após o primeiro, iniciou-se a rouquidão. Realiza atendimento psicológico, ainda sem diagnóstico fechado. Apresentou loudness rebaixado, pitch agudizado, diplofonia durante a conversação, tempo máximo de fonação reduzido, incoordenação pneumofonoarticulatória e G³, R², Bº, Aº, S³. Os dados demonstraram distintos graus de severidades nas manifestações otorrinolaringológicas e fonoaudiológicas, além de diferentes envolvimentos psicogênicos. O grau de severidade ficou implícito no impacto da voz na qualidade de vida das pacientes estudadas.
