An Investigation of Child and Adolescent Dental Sealant Predictors, NHANES 2011-2012

Objective: To examine sociodemographic and dental factors for associations with dental sealant placement in children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old. Methods: Secondary data analysis of 2011-2012 NHANES data was conducted. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess relationships between predictor variables and sealant presence. Results: More than a third (37.1%) of children and adolescents have at least one sealant present; 67.9% of children compared with 40.4% of adolescents. Racial/ethnic differences exist, with Non-Hispanic black youth having the lowest odds of having sealants. Sealant placement odds vary by presence of dental home; the magnitude of the odds varies by age group. Those with untreated decay have lower odds of having sealants than those who do not have untreated decay (child OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.83-3.72; adolescent OR: 3.9, 95% CI: 2.59-6.07). Conclusion: Disparities exist in odds of sealant prevalence across racial/ethnic groups, income levels, and dental disease and visit characteristics. Further research is necessary to understand the reasons for these differences and to inform future interventions.

Los socorristas de traumatizados en el área pre-hospitalaria en la ciudad de Machala, carecen de profesionales con formación académica de tercer nivel, en su mayoría son bachilleres con cursos básicos de primeros auxilios Objetivo.- Determinar el impacto de un programa educativo en el nivel de conocimiento de los protocolos de atención en trauma, usados por los socorristas que laboran en atención pre-hospitalaria de la ciudad de Machala. Métodos.-Realizamos un estudio cuasi experimental con dos grupos: Grupo estudio (n: 46) y grupo control (n: 45). Muestra obtenida de forma no aleatoria por conveniencia. Los socorristas fueron evaluados al inicio del estudio por un test previamente establecido, al grupo de estudio se aplicó un programa educativo, al grupo control no se lo intervino. Dos meses después se evaluó el impacto del programa. Resultados.- El programa educativo mejora el conocimiento global un 43% en el grupo de estudio. El impacto del programa de la atención pre-hospitalaria demostró un incremento en conocimientos: en respiratorio 56%; 67.9% en circulatorio y el 19.2% en neurológico; pero disminuye: en vía aérea 10.9% y 7.6% en la exposición de la víctima. El Riesgo relativo luego de la intervención es de 4.45 y se necesita aplicar el programa educativo a dos personas para mejorar una (NNT -2.4). Conclusión.- El programa educativo es útil para mejorar el conocimiento sobre atención pre-hospitalaria en trauma, sin lograr en los participantes alcanzar el nivel esperado por lo heterogéneo de su formación académica

Portugal no Conselho de Segurança 2011-2012 : a perspectiva de um pequeno estado

O Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas formula e implementa políticas públicas que refletem, em cada momento, a distribuição de poder entre as grandes potências. Tendo como pano de fundo o terceiro mandato de Portugal no Conselho de Segurança no biénio 2011-2012, recentemente concluído, são discutidas as novas configurações de poder que resultaram da intervenção militar no Kosovo (1999) e a reação do Conselho de Segurançaa esta nova realidade, em particular a emergência de novas formas de cooperação entre o Conselho de Segurança e outras organizações internacionais com responsabilidades em termos de segurança internacional. Esta alteração estrutural no funcionamento do Conselho de Segurança representa um grande desafio para Portugal. Neste artigo são discutidas estratégias que permitem aumentar a visibilidade política do nosso país no Conselho de Segurança, como país europeu que integra uma comunidade de valores e comunga de uma agenda normativa, e que se pretende afirmar na nova ordem internacional que tem como característica principal a descentralização dos polos de decisão.
