TEMA: articulação compensatória na fissura palatina. OBJETIVO: contribuir para o aprofundamento de informações sobre os tipos de articulação compensatória descritos na literatura e, ainda, discutir as implicações e contribuições da avaliação clínica e instrumental na identificação destas produções. CONCLUSÃO: as articulações compensatórias merecem a atenção de clínicos e pesquisadores que atuam no Brasil, já que estas alterações são encontradas com grande freqüência em crianças e adultos com fissura palatina ou disfunção velofaríngea, o que compromete a qualidade de vida destes sujeitos. Os fonoaudiólogos devem aprofundar seus conhecimentos sobre os tipos de articulação compensatória e os procedimentos de avaliação, bem como devem estabelecer programas preventivos que favoreçam a aquisição fonológica sem o desenvolvimento dessas compensações.

Purpose - To investigate the participation of contractile state and relaxation in cardiac muscle dysfunction during the transition from stable hypertrophy to cardiac decompensation in aging spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Methods - isolated left ventricular papillary muscle function was studied in SHR with heart failure (SHR-F), in age-matched SHR without evidence of heart failure (SHR-NF), and in nonhypertensive controls Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Muscles were analised in isometric and isotonic contractions in Krebs-Henseleit solution with calcium concentration of 1.25mM at 28°C. Results - Papillary muscles from SHR-F and SHR-NF demonstrated decreased active tension development and shortening velocity relative to normotensive WKY (p<0.05). SHR-F and SHR-NF did not differ. Compared with SHR-NF and WKY, muscle passive stiffness was increased in the failing SHR (p<0.05 versus WKY and SHR-NF). This parameter did not differ between SHR-NF and WKY (p> 0.05). Conclusion - These data suggest that the progression from stable hypertrophy to heart failure is associated with changes in the passive stiffness and is not related to depression of myocardial contractile function.

Recent studies have shown consistent results using the physical therapy in cases of pain and limitation of movement from temporomandibular dysfunction. Thus, our objective was to assess the effect of ten sessions of physical therapy and laser therapy in treatment of muscular pain and arthralgias in a woman with temporomandibular dysfunction. The painful symptoms relief achieved by session was over 20 %, up to zero at the end of treatment. Results demonstrated that the treatment protocol used was effective to reduce the temporomandibular joint and the masseter muscle tension and a decreased of drugs by patient. However, more studies are needed to define with more accuracy the effect of other physiotherapy programs and its interaction with other treatment modalities.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: There is uncertainty in the literature regarding the theory that obstetric events and pelvic floor injuries give rise to lower risk of subsequent urinary incontinence among women delivering via cesarean section than among women delivering vaginally. The objective of this study was to assess the two-year postpartum prevalence of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and the factors responsible for them. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study, conducted in a public university. METHODS: 220 women who had undergone elective cesarean section or vaginal childbirth two years earlier were selected. Their urinary incontinence symptoms were investigated, and their pelvic floor muscle dysfunction was assessed using digital palpation and a perineometer. RESULTS: The two-year urinary incontinence prevalences following vaginal childbirth and cesarean section were 17% and 18.9%, respectively. The only risk factor for pelvic floor muscle dysfunction was weight gain during pregnancy. Body mass index less than 25 kg/m2 and normal pelvic floor muscle function protected against urinary incontinence. Gestational urinary incontinence increased the risk of two-year postpartum urinary incontinence. CONCLUSION: Gestational urinary incontinence was a crucial precursor of postpartum urinary incontinence. Weight gain during pregnancy increased the subsequent risk of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and elective cesarean section did not prevent urinary incontinence.

Aborda o tema das políticas públicas, relacionadas à produção de equipamentos urbanos, através de programas de gestão do Governo do Estado do Pará, Brasil. Toma como objeto os programas voltados para a qualidade das obras, que buscam otimizar todos os processos no âmbito da construção civil, sob influência das Secretarias de Estado que constituem a Secretaria Especial de Integração Regional, em especial a gerência da produção de equipamentos urbanos. Essa abordagem se justifica pela importância da busca de soluções para problemas gerenciais em organizações públicas onde a tomada de decisão, na maioria das vezes é baseada em dados imprecisos, levando à escolhas políticas em detrimento de escolhas técnicas. O referencial teórico foi construído a partir da discussão das políticas de melhoria da qualidade, aperfeiçoamento da tomada de decisão, emergência do uso de sistemas de informação, e especificamente da gestão da produção. A metodologia baseou-se em um estudo de caso que aborda o contexto organizacional da Secretaria Executiva de Estado de Obras Públicas (SEOP), e o estudo da produção de equipamentos educacionais. A pesquisa investiga o processo de tomada de decisão visando analisar o uso de informações fidedignas e compartilhadas, para maior alcance político-econômico-social na provisão de equipamentos educacionais. Constatou-se a aplicação de boas práticas de gestão, porém ainda ocorre resistência por parte dos técnicos da secretaria em assimilar estes programas, o que acaba provocando uma deficiência nos fluxos de informação e no controle das etapas de produção.

This study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of partial use of anterior repositioning appliances in the management of TMJ pain and dysfunction when compared to stabilization splints and a control group in a one-year follow-up. Sample was initially constituted by 60 patients, randomly divided into three groups: I- stabilization splints, II- repositioning splints and III- no treatment. The whole sample was evaluated by means of TMJ and muscle palpation, mandibular AROM, analysis of occlusal contacts, joint sounds inspection and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for one year; 52 patients composed the final sample. A significant (after 15 days) improvement in pain report (VAS) and palpation index was found for group II (p≤0.01). The occurrence of occlusal alterations as posterior open bite or gross interferences after the splint therapy and increased muscle tenderness were not problems in this study. Similar results in joint noises reduction were observed for the entire sample. It was concluded that controlled partial use of repositioning splints is a beneficial tool in the management of intra-articular pain and dysfunction, with no risks of irreversible occlusal changes.

We surveyed subjective symptoms of 600 patients referred to the Occlusion and Craniomandibular Dysfunction Center of the School of Dentistry, Campus of São José dos Campos São Paulo, Brazil. We have only considered those symptoms reported by the patients as major complaints. Our purpose on this project was to draw a profile of the disease considering sex, age and incidence of the symptoms that presented themselves or associated with others. Findings were that we found a significant larger number of women, 82.83%, comparing with 17.17% of men. Most of the patients belonged to the third decade, followed by the fourth and second. The most frequent symptom was pain on TMJ region, 42%, followed by TMJ noises, 26.6%, facial pain, 15.5%, earache, 14.5% and headache, 12.1%. The symptom TMJ noises showed to be statistically more significant in men, while headaches, pain in the neck region and temporary locking were more frequent in women. The most frequent association between two symptoms was: TMJ noises with TMJ pain, earache with headache and TMJ pain with earache. There was no statistical difference between sexes. The most frequent association of three symptoms was: TMJ noises together with TMJ pain and pain or difficulty in chewing
