In 2004, Costa-Santos and cols. reported 24 patients from 19 Brazilian families with 17α-hydroxylase deficiency and showed that p.W406R and p.R362C corresponded to 50% and 32% of CYP17A1 mutant alleles, respectively. The present report describes clinical and molecular data of six patients from three inbred Brazilian families with 17α-hydroxlyse deficiency. All patients had hypogonadism, amenorrhea and hypertension at diagnosis. Two sisters were found to be 46,XY with both gonads palpable in the inguinal region. All patients presented hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism, with high levels of ACTH (> 104 ng/mL), suppressed plasmatic renin activity, low levels of potassium (< 2.8 mEq/L) and elevated progesterone levels (> 4.4 ng/mL). Three of them, including two sisters, were homozygous for p.W406R mutation and the other three (two sisters and one cousin) were homozygous for p.R362C. The finding of p.W406R and p.R362C in the CYP17A1 gene here reported in additional families, confirms them as the most frequent mutations causing complete combined 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency in Brazilian patients.

Purpose: A survey was carried out on one hundred patients of the Emergency Service of the Ophthalmology Department of the Hospital das Clinicas of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), in order to analyze the personal characteristics and the barriers against getting resolving ophthalmologic assistance. Variables, were the following: sex, age, home town, average distance between the place of initial symptoms and first visit to the hospital, time spent between the first examination (if performed in any other service) and the examination performed at the Hospital das Clinicas of University of Campinas, diagnosis, veracity of emergency, need to refer patients previously seen in other services to our Service and possibility of assistance and treatment at a secondary level. Methods: The sample showed the following characteristics: distances between 20 and 100 kilometers covered by 50.0% of the patients to be seen at University of Campinas. 75.0% of those patients needed someone to stay with them and 67.0% came from other municipalities. The long distances covered meant additional expenses for the treatment of diseases which should be treated locally. Results: Among the patients referred to University of Campinas by ophthalmologists of other services, 87.5% could have their diseases treated at a secondary level of assistance and 66.7% of real emergencies and 60% of false emergencies took longer than 7 days to reach the emergency room of University of Campinas. This shows the poor infrastructure of secondary services regarding excellence of emergency care and education of patients. Conclusions: We recommend education of general physicians and ophthalmologists for emergency eye care and also the supply of both secondary and tertiary public services or medicare, strategically setup in the whole state of Sao Paulo.

Purpose:1) To check self-knowledge and needs for orientation among regular class teachers working with low vision students; 2) To gather information to assist the training on visual deficiency of regular class teachers. Methods: A survey was conducted for the academic year of 1999 among those teachers working in public schools, Campinas/SP/Brazil, of which 11 were municipal and 9 state schools, respectively 79.0% and 90.0% of these schools. A self-administered questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. Results: The sample was composed of 50 teachers with a regular class experience averaging 20 years. Most of them, 94.0%, said that they had no specific preparation in the area of low vision. Only 18 teachers declared to have received some kind of information/orientation in order to work with their low vision students and of those only 15 teachers mentioned the kind of orientation received. The whole group of 50 declared interest in receiving information. From the information/orientation requested 66.0% mentioned extended working class materials, 50.0% visual performance and eye disease of their students and 46.0% visual acuity/visual field. Conclusion: It was detected that teachers of regular classes received none or little information about their low vision students but demonstrated interest in its obtention. It was also shown that those teachers are not prepared to work with visually impaired children.

Purpose: To establish the prevalence of refractive errors and ocular disorders in preschool and schoolchildren of Ibiporã, Brazil. Methods: A survey of 6 to 12-year-old children from public and private elementary schools was carried out in Ibiporã between 1989 and 1996. Visual acuity measurements were performed by trained teachers using Snellen's chart. Children with visual acuity <0.7 in at least one eye were referred to a complete ophthalmologic examination. Results: 35,936 visual acuity measurements were performed in 13,471 children. 1.966 children (14.59%) were referred to an ophthalmologic examination. Amblyopia was diagnosed in 237 children (1.76%), whereas strabismus was observed in 114 cases (0.84%). Cataract (n=17) (0.12%), chorioretinitis (n=38) (0.28%) and eyelid ptosis (n=6) (0.04%) were also diagnosed. Among the 614 (4.55%) children who were found to have refractive errors, 284 (46.25%) had hyperopia (hyperopia or hyperopic astigmatism), 206 (33.55%) had myopia (myopia or myopic astigmatism) and 124 (20.19%) showed mixed astigmatism. Conclusions: The study determined the local prevalence of amblyopia, refractive errors and eye disorders among preschool and schoolchildren.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as taxas de mortalidade por câncer de boca no período de 1991-2001, no município de Bauru-SP. A fonte de informação utilizada para o reconhecimento e seleção da população-alvo foram Certidões de Óbito dos Cartórios do município de Bauru com dados relativos ao período 1991-2001. Foram coletadas informações referentes a sexo, idade, localização da lesão e endereço. A coleta dos endereços visou à identificação no mapa do município de Bauru da localização geográfica do domicílio. Utilizando ferramentas do geoprocessamento, foi feita a inserção no mapa dos casos identificados. Foram registrados 67 casos de morte por câncer de boca na cidade de Bauru entre 1991 e 2001, com maiores taxas no sexo masculino e sexta década de vida. A análise da distribuição espacial mostra que a maioria dos casos encontra-se próxima à linha férrea que corta o município e foi responsável, em grande parte, pela ocupação territorial pela população, sendo esta também uma área que abrange os bairros mais antigos do município. O câncer de boca constitui importante causa de óbito no município, requerendo um planejamento de ações georreferenciadas pelo sistema local de saúde.

INTRODUÇÃO: o exame de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) oferece excelente representação dos tecidos duros da articulação temporomandibular (ATM). OBJETIVO: investigar as alterações morfológicas do côndilo mandibular, da infância à idade adulta, utilizando a TCFC. MÉTODOS: um estudo transversal foi conduzido envolvendo 36 côndilos de 18 indivíduos com idades variando entre 3 e 20 anos. As imagens dos côndilos foram obtidas por meio do sistema i-CAT e medidas com uma ferramenta do programa específica para ATM, que permite cortes perpendiculares à cabeça do côndilo, com correção individual em função das diferenças angulares de cada um. As maiores distâncias nas vistas lateral e frontal foram consideradas tanto para os côndilos do lado direto como para os do lado esquerdo. RESULTADOS: a dimensão lateral do côndilo mandibular parece ser estabelecida de maneira precoce, sofrendo poucas alterações com o passar dos anos, enquanto a dimensão frontal tende a aumentar. Assimetrias entre o côndilo esquerdo e o direito foram comumente observadas; no entanto, tais diferenças não apresentaram significância estatística para as vistas lateral (P=0,815) e frontal (P=0,374). CONCLUSÕES: os côndilos apresentaram simetria com relação ao tamanho, sendo observado crescimento apenas na dimensão frontal Os resultados sugerem que a TCFC constitui-se numa ferramenta útil na mensuração e avaliação das dimensões condilares.

The dentist can offer athletes improvement in their physical performance through the maintenance of oral health, preventing and treating any and all changes in the stomatognathic system, such as dental malocclusions, that compromise the athletes' performance. The objective of this study is to research the presence of dental malocclusions in athletes of the category between 13 and 20 years of age, from the São Paulo Football Club. 84 athletes participated in this study, dealing with the following topics: molar relation (Angle's classification); presence of overbite; underbite; overcrowding; abnormal spacing; open bite; and anterior, posterior, bilateral and unilateral crossbite; midline deviation and facial type (mesofacial, brachyfacial and dolichofacial). Only one table was made, showing percentages. In regard to Angle's molar relation, 89% are in Class I, 8% in Class II, 3% Class III, 9% of the athletes had overbite, 4% had underbite, 13% had overcrowding and 21% had abnormal spacing. In regard to the bite, 11% presented anterior open bite. In regard to crossbite, 7% presented unilateral crossbite on the right side and 2% on the left side; 5% presented posterior crossbite and 4% anterior crossbite. In regard to midline deviations, 4% presented deviation in the maxilla and 33% in the mandible. In regard to facial type: 39% are dolichofacial, 4% brachyfacial and 57% mesofacial. Based on the results shown, proposals for the implementation of dental, phoniatric, and Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) practices are already being discussed with the multidisciplinary team of the club involved.

OBJETIVO: Comparar dados pré-natais, dos partos e dos recém-nascidos de Campinas em 2001 e 2005. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal que analisou 13.656 documentos do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (Sinasc) de 2005, comparando-as aos resultados de 2001. Analisou-se o local de moradia e parto, idade materna, estado civil, escolaridade, ocupação, paridade, consultas de pré-natal, tipo de parto, duração da gestação e peso ao nascer. Para avaliar a associação entre as variáveis, utilizou-se o teste de qui-quadrado, sendo significante p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Os nascidos nos Distritos de Saúde (DS) com piores índices de condições de vida (ICV) diminuíram em relação a 2001. A taxa de adolescentes passou de 17,7% para 14,7%. Em 2001, 39,4% das mães trabalhavam e, em 2005, 42,9%. Quanto à presença de companheiro, 35,9 e 54,3% não o referiam em 2001 e 2005, respectivamente. A escolaridade passou de 37,8% de mães com até sete anos de estudo para 25,7%, com aumento das que estudaram entre oito e 11 anos e 12 anos ou mais. O comparecimento a mais de seis consultas no pré-natal passou de 74,4 para 86,6%. Houve aumento de cesáreas (54,9 para 60,3%) e de prematuridade (7,1 para 8,9%). Não houve alteração no perfil de peso ao nascimento. CONCLUSÕES: Verificou-se queda da paridade nos DS com piores ICV e no percentual de mães adolescentes. Elevou-se o número de trabalhadoras, mulheres sem companheiro, escolaridade e frequência ao pré-natal.
