Os vírus linfotrópicos de células T humanas do tipo I e II (HTLV-I/II) são retrovírus que podem ser transmitidos por transfusão de sangue. Estes vírus estão associados com paraparesia espástica tropical (PET), leucemia/linfoma de células T do adulto (L/LTA) e outras doenças sistêmicas imunomediadas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar sinais clínicos de patologias associadas a esses vírus para utilizar na triagem clinica de candidatos à doação de sangue. Usou procedimentos padronizados para avaliação clinica de 30 doadores de sangue soropositivos para HTLV-I/II confirmados pela técnica de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) matriculados no ambulatório do Núcleo de Medicina Tropical da UFPA. Paralelamente, através de interrogatório clínico complementar, estudou grupo controle com 40 candidatos à doação de sangue escolhidos aleatoriamente, que tiveram resultados sorológicos negativos. Dos 30 pacientes examinados, verificou-se que 23 eram portadores de HTLV-I e 07 HTLV-II. Na avaliação clínica, 15 pacientes (50%) não referiram queixas, sendo que 12 pacientes com queixas exclusivamente neurológicas. Observou 05 pacientes com formigamentos; 05 com diminuição da força muscular; 04 com constipação intestinal; 02 com parestesia; 02 com nódulos subcutâneos; 01 com incontinência urinária; 01 com visão borrada; 01 com diminuição do libido. No grupo controle, 05 candidatos (12,5%) referiram queixas. Os resultados indicam que diminuição da força muscular e formigamento devem ser questionados na triagem clínica prévia à doação de sangue para reduzir risco de infecção transfusional.

Patients with neurological disorders have an increased risk of oral and systemic diseases due to compromised oral hygiene. If patients lose the ability to swallow and chew food as a result of their disorder, enteral nutrition is often utilized. However, this type of feeding may modify salivary antioxidant defenses, resulting in increased oxidative damage and the emergence of various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of enteral nutrition on biochemical parameters in the unstimulated whole saliva composition of patients with neurological disorders. For this, enzymatic (superoxide dismutase - SOD; glutathione peroxidase - GPx) and non-enzymatic (uric acid; ferric ion reducing antioxidant power - FRAP) antioxidant activity, as well as a marker for oxidative damage (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances - TBARS) were analyzed. Unstimulated whole saliva was collected from 12 patients with neurological disorders and tube-feeding (tube-fed group - TFG), 15 patients with neurological disorders and normal feeding via the mouth (non-tube-fed group - NTFG), and 12 volunteers without neurological disorders (control group - CG). The daily oral hygiene procedures of TFG and NTFG patients were similar and dental care was provided monthly by the same institution's dentist. All patients exhibited adequate oral health conditions. The salivary levels of FRAP, uric acid, SOD, GPx, TBARS, and total protein were compared between studied groups. FRAP was increased (p < 0.05) in the NTFG (4651 +/- 192.5 mmol/mL) and the TFG (4743 +/- 116.7 mmol/mL) when compared with the CG (1844 +/- 343.8 mmol/mL). GPx values were lower (p < 0.05) in the NTGF (8.24 +/- 1.09 mmol/min/mg) and the TFG (8.37 +/- 1.60 mmol/min/mg) than in the CG (15.30 +/- 2.61 mmol/min/mg). Uric acid in the TFG (1.57 +/- 0.23 mg/dL) was significantly lower than in the NTFG (2.34 +/- 0.20 mg/dL) and the CG (3.49 +/- 0.21 mg/dL). Protein was significantly lower in the TFG (5.35 +/- 0.27 g/dL) than in the NTFG (7.22 +/- 0.57 g/dL) and the CG (7.86 +/- 0.54 g/dL). There was no difference in the salivary flow rate and SOD between groups. Enteral nutrition in patients with neurological disorders was associated with lower oxidative damage, resulting in increased salivary. antioxidant capacity. These results emphasize the importance of oral care for this population to prevent oral and systemic diseases. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: Amputations affect both the physical and the psychological aspects of an individual, causing significant impact on self-esteem. The main causes of finger amputations are work-related accidents with dangerous machinery, road traffic accidents, and animal bites, as well as systemic diseases such as diabetes. This report aims to describe a simple technique for fabrication of implant-retained finger prosthesis with a modified base of the retention system.Case Description and Methods: The O-Ring retention system was used with a modified hexagon-shaped base and a metallic capsule adapted to the acrylic resin to attach the prosthesis to the implant.Findings and Outcomes: The prosthesis was made with silicone, and after osseointegration, it was installed without complications, leading to a patient satisfied with the end result and encouraged to return to social life.
