ABSTRACT Introduction/framework/objectives The legislation gives the possibility for pregnant women with jobs where there are night shifts, to avoid doing them during this stage. However, sometimes the workers themselves question whether this has concrete scientific validity and what this could entail for themselves and their descendants. Not being a topic with much published literature, this review allows to consult a summary of the most up-to-date records at this level, in order to make assertive and scientific decisions regarding conditioning, as well as whether these should be mandatory or optional. Methodology This is a Bibliographic Review, initiated through a search carried out in May 2023 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP”. Content Night shifts during pregnancy may be associated with greater family-work conflict, tiredness and sleep disturbance; as well as cancers, weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases; in addition to preterm delivery, low birth weight and congenital anomalies. Discussion and Conclusions Night shifts during pregnancy, especially if numerous and/or consecutive, seem to allow for some alterations, whose pathophysiology is reasonably explained/theorized. However, the probability and eventual severity of these issues must be considered by the pregnant woman herself, so that she (duly informed with regard to current medical knowledge on the subject) choose whether she wishes to continue to do some night shifts and, if so, how; since anxiety and disruption of routines can also be harmful, especially on an emotional and/or economic level (more prominently in companies where the pregnant woman has empathy with the tasks, the work team and/or I have a shared transport). It should be decided on a case-by-case basis, as a team, taking into account pregnant´s opinion. It would be interesting for professionals working in a hospital environment, in an institution that has Obstetric service, to focus a little on the topic, portraying the national reality and publishing their research in a magazine in the area, to disseminate knowledge. and national level, with international extrapolation.

RESUMO Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos A legislação consagra a possibilidade de as grávidas com postos de trabalho em que existam turnos noturnos, os evitem durante esta etapa. Contudo, por vezes, as próprias trabalhadoras questionam a validade científica concreta dessa medida e o que isso poderá acarretar para si e para a descendência. Não sendo um tema com muita bibliografia publicada, esta revisão permite consultar uma síntese do que mais atualizado se registou a este nível, de forma a se tomarem decisões assertivas e científicas em relação a condicionamentos, bem como se estes devem ser obrigatórios ou opcionais. Metodologia Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em maio de 2023, nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP”. Conteúdo Os turnos noturnos durante a gravidez poderão associar-se a maior conflito família-trabalho, cansaço e perturbação do sono; bem como cancros, aumento de peso, diabetes, hipertensão arterial e outras doenças cardiovasculares; para além de parto pré-termo, baixo peso ao nascer e anomalias congénitas. Discussão e Conclusões Os turnos noturnos durante a gravidez, sobretudo se numerosos e/ou seguidos, parecem possibilitar algumas alterações, cuja fisiopatologia se encontra razoavelmente explicitada/teorizada. Contudo, a probabilidade e eventual gravidade dessas questões devem ser ponderadas pela própria grávida (devidamente informada relativamente aos conhecimentos médicos atuais), para que possa optar se deseja continuar a fazer alguns turnos noturnos e, em caso positivo, de que forma; uma vez que a ansiedade e perturbação de rotinas pode ser também perniciosa, sobretudo a nível emocional e/ou económico (com maior destaque em empresas onde a grávida tenha empatia com as tarefas e com a equipa de trabalho e/ou tenha meio de transporte partilhado). Caberá decidir caso a caso, em equipa, considerando a opinião da própria. Seria aliciante que profissionais a exercer em ambiente hospitalar, em instituição que tenha serviço de Obstetrícia, se debruçassem um pouco sobre o tema, retratando a realidade nacional e publicando a sua investigação em revista da área, para difusão de conhecimentos e nível nacional, com extrapolação internacional.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Class II malocclusion is one of the anomalies that affect facial aesthetics, which is why it is one of the most frequent in the Orthodontic Consultation. Objective: to design an integrated classification for patients with Class II malocclusion that allows efficient diagnosis and treatment. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional investigation with a mixed approach was carried out in the Department of Clinical Sciences of the Faculty of Stomatology of the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara in the period between 2020 and 2023. We worked with a sample not probabilistic that was made up of seven experts to whom three surveys were administered. The number of experts was determined using criteria based on the binomial probability distribution. The competence of the experts was determined by the competence coefficient, which was calculated according to the expert's opinion about his level of knowledge about the problem and with the sources that allowed him to argue his criteria. Results: the reviewed documentation provided valuable information and the specialists issued different criteria on the classification and diagnosis of Class II malocclusion. The experts established the invariable elements for their classification. Conclusions: the classification of malocclusion was carried out based on a diagnostic taxonomy that included invariable elements in order to achieve more comprehensive and efficient attention to malocclusion.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of weight gain and maternal anemia on postpartum depression. METHODS: This is a prospective, single-center, case-control study. We recorded the demographic characteristics, blood ferritin level, and weight gain during the pregnancy. This study was planned between April 2023 and June 2023 in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Ankara Etlik City Hospital. A total of 109 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were assessed with the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Weight gain, nutritional education, educational level, mode of delivery, and pregnancy history were asked in person. Ferritin levels at the onset of labor were determined to detect anemia. Twin births, births due to fetal anomalies or intrauterine stillbirths, patients with systemic infections, and patients diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder in the past 6 months whose records were not accessible were excluded from the study. RESULTS: Pregnancy weight gain and percentage of pregnancy weight gain were higher. Serum ferritin levels and nutritional education during pregnancy were lower in the postpartum depression group (p<0.001). These parameters with statistical significance were identified as risk factors in the regression analysis for postpartum depression (p<0.05). In receiver operating characteristics analysis, >15 kg for weight gain, >28.8 for percentage of weight gain in pregnancy, and <19 ng/dL for serum ferritin level were identified as cutoff values (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Nutritional education and vitamin supplementation should be recommended to pregnant women during routine examinations.

Abstract Objectives The aim was to describe the spectrum of inner ear malformations in CHARGE syndrome and propose a Computed Tomography (CT) detailed scan evaluation methodology. The secondary aim was to correlate the CT findings with hearing thresholds. Methods Twenty ears of ten patients diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome were subjected to CT analysis focusing on the inner ear and internal acoustic canal. The protocol used is presented in detail. ASSR results were analyzed and correlated with inner ear malformations. Results Cochlear hypoplasia type III was the most common malformation found in 12 ears (60%). Cochlear hypoplasia type II, aplasia with a dilated vestibule, and rudimentary otocyst were also identified. In 20%, no cochlear anomaly was found. The lateral Semicircular Canal (SCC) absence affected 100% of ears, the absence of the posterior SCC 95%, and the superior SCC 65%. Better development of cochlea structures and IAC correlated significantly with the lower hearing thresholds. Conclusion This study demonstrated that rudimentary SCC or a complete absence of these SCCs was universally observed in all patients diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome. This finding supports the idea that inner ear anomalies are a hallmark feature of the CHARGE, contributing to its distinct clinical profile. The presence of inner ear malformations has substantial clinical implications. Audiological assessments are crucial for CHARGE syndrome, as hearing loss is common. Early detection of these malformations can guide appropriate interventions, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, which may significantly improve developmental outcomes and communication for affected individuals. Recognizing inner ear malformations as a diagnostic criterion presents implications beyond clinical diagnosis. A better understanding of these malformations can advance the knowledge of CHARGE pathophysiology. It may also help guide future research into targeted therapies to mitigate the impact of inner ear anomalies on hearing and balance function. Level of evidence: 4.

Abstract Objective To determine the prevalence, epidemiological profile, and clinical characteristics of Oral or Oropharyngeal Mucosal Lesions (OOPML) in patients attended at the Otorhinolaryngology Service of the Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases (INI-FIOCRUZ) from 2005 to 2017. Methods Statistical analysis of descriptive data from medical records (gender, age, education level, skin color, origin, smoking, alcoholism, HIV co-infection, time of disease evolution, first symptom, and OOPML location) was performed. Results Of 7551 patients attended at the service, 620 (8.2%) were included in the study. OOPML were classified into developmental anomalies (n = 3), infectious diseases (non-granulomatous n = 220; granulomatous n = 155), autoimmune diseases (n = 24), neoplasms (benign n = 13; malignant, n = 103), and unclassified epithelial/soft tissue diseases (n = 102). OOPML of infectious diseases (60.5%) and neoplasms (18.7%) were the most frequent. The predominant demographics of patients with OOPML were: males (63.5%), white (53.5%), and those in the fifth to sixth decades of life (43.3%). Local pain (18.1%) and odynophagia (15%) were the most reported first symptoms, and the most frequent OOPML sites were the palatine tonsil (28.5%), hard palate (22.7%), and tongue (20.3%). The median evolution time was three months. Conclusions Infectious OOPML were the most frequent, as expected in a reference center for infectious diseases, and thus, they are likely to be less frequent in general care and/or dental services. Underreporting of OOPML is possible, as oral/oropharyngeal examination is often not included in the routine medical examination. Oral cavity/oropharynx examination should be performed by specialists, such as dentists and otorhinolaryngologists, who have the expertise in identifying OOPML, even in incipient/asymptomatic cases. Given the numerous diseases in which OOPML can present, diagnosis could be facilitated by multidisciplinary teams, potentially enabling the early treatment of diseases, and thus, reduce morbidity and improve prognosis. The use of standardized medical records for oral/oropharyngeal systematic examination could provide relevant tools for differential diagnoses and information for new clinical-epidemiological studies.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia is a syndrome characterized by the suspension or severe decrease in gas exchange at the level of the placenta or lungs. Objective: To characterize neonates with perinatal asphyxia during labor with the introduction of umbilical arterial blood gas test. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out from October 2016 to December 2021. It dealt with the entire universe, 75 asphyxiated neonates. The variables were: maternal age, gestational age at birth, associated and pregnancy-dependent diseases, type and time of labor, characteristics of the amniotic fluid, anomalies of the placenta and umbilical cord, pH of the cord arterial blood gas test, clinical evolution of the newborn. The data were stored and processed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, using descriptive statistics. Results: Patients with maternal age below 20 years (56%), and gestational age at birth from 28 to 33.6 weeks (77.3%) predominated. Arterial hypertension was the most common comorbidity, as well as preeclampsia, among pregnancy-dependent diseases (30.7%); 61.3% had eutocic delivery, with clear amniotic fluid (65.3%), previous placenta (38.7%) and umbilical cord circulars (30.7%). In 86.7%, the blood gas pH was less than 7 and 92% had a favorable clinical evolution. Conclusions: Perinatal asphyxia was predominantly associated with adolescent mothers, with gestational time between 28-36 weeks; preeclampsia, placenta previa, umbilical cord circulars, and blood gases pH lower than 7.

Abstract The geotechnical monitoring of tailings dams combined with a suitable application of geophysical electrical methods can improve their structure evaluation, allowing several correlations between direct analyses and the resistivity anomaly pattern. Considering this synergy, twenty-three electrical resistivity sections (ERT) were acquired along the beach, abutments, and central part of a dam, totalizing 10,776 m of dataset. After the interpretation of each ERT section, comparing the anomaly ranges with the water level meters measurements, three resistivity zones were defined: Zones of low resistivity (<64 ohm-m), correlated to regions of high humidity; zones of high resistivity (> 357 ohm-m), interpreted as dry zones, and regions with intermediate resistivity values, located between these limits. The groundwater surface generated from the interpretation of the electrical resistivity dataset and the groundwater surface acquired from the water level gauges were almost coincident. On the right abutment, the conductive anomalies showed remarkable continuity, suggesting a high moisture content in this region with strong gradients (200 mV) directed towards the zone of low resistivity values identified in the sections. The analysis showed a robust correlation of the ERT data with localized physical geotechnical measurements, valuable for monitoring dam integrity, overseeing the structure's response to climate and operational changes, and ultimately mitigating the risks of failure. The results of this study support the adoption of a seasonal 4D electrical resistivity survey as an effective tool to monitor and manage surface and high humidity zones, key indicators of dam integrity throughout the entire structure. evaluation pattern synergy twentythree twenty (ERT beach abutments 10776 10 776 10,77 section measurements defined <64 64 (<6 ohmm, ohmm ohm , ohm-m) > ( 35 limits coincident abutment continuity 200 (20 mV structures s changes failure D 1077 1 77 10,7 <6 6 (< ohm-m 3 20 (2 107 7 10, < 2

Abstract Objective: To compare the measurements of the lumbar safety triangle (Kambin’s triangle) and the invasion of the dorsal root ganglion in the triangle in coronal and coronal oblique planes. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study, in which 210 3.0-T magnetic resonance images of L2-L5 were analyzed in coronal and coronal oblique planes. Exams with lumbar spine anomalies were excluded. Demographic (sex and age) and radiological variables were recorded by a single evaluator. Results: Most sample was female (57.1%), mean age 45.5 ± 13.3 (18–98 years). The measurements average, as well as the areas, gradually increased from L2 to L5. The dorsal root ganglion invaded the triangle in all images. The safety triangle average area was smaller in the coronal oblique plane than in the coronal plane. Of the seven dimensions of safety triangle obtained for each level of the lumbar spine, six were significantly smaller in the coronal oblique plane than in the coronal plane. The only dimension that showed no difference was the smallest ganglion dimension. Conclusion: The dimensions and areas investigated were smaller in coronal oblique plane, especially the area (difference > 1 mm). The analysis of the triangular zone in this plane becomes important in the preoperative assessment of minimally invasive procedures.

ABSTRACT Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a group of disorders associated with breathing anomalies during sleep. Easily detectable by sound, snoring is one of the most common manifestations and the main sign of SDB. Snoring is characteristic of breathing sound during sleep, without apnea, hypoventilation, or interrupted sleep. It may reduce the percentage of sleep and increase microarousals due to breathing effort or gas exchange. A range of questionnaires have been validated and adapted to the pediatric population to screen for patients who require laboratory testing. The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) screens for SDB and identifies primary signs such as snoring. RoncoLab is a mobile application that records and measures snoring intensity and frequency Aim To compare the RoncoLab app and the PSQ regarding how efficiently they diagnose snoring Materials and Method This was an observational, analytical study of 31 children aged 7 to 11 years who visited the pediatric dental clinic at Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico (BUAP). The PSQ was applied to diagnose SDB. Guardians were then instructed on how to download and use the mobile application to record data while the child was sleeping at home. Agreement between RoncoLab and the PSQ was analyzed statistically by Cohen’s Kappa index at 95% confidence level Results The Kappa index for identification of primary snoring was 0.743 (p<0.05). App sensitivity was 0.92, and specificity 0.82 Conclusion There is good agreement between PSQ and RoncoLab for diagnosing primary snoring, with acceptable sensitivity and specificity.

RESUMEN Los trastornos respiratorios del sueño (TRS) son un grupo de padecimientos asociados con anormalidades respiratorias del sueño. Una de las manifestaciones más comunes es el ronquido; signo fácil de detectar por el ruido que emite y se considera como el signo principal. Este trastorno es característico del ruido respiratorio durante el sueño, sin apneas, hipoventilación, ni interrupciones del sueño. Este puede ocasionar disminución del porcentaje del sueño y aumentar los microdespertares, esto debido al esfuerzo respiratorio o al intercambio de gases. En la actualidad existen cuestionarios validados y adaptados para la población pediátrica útiles como herramienta clínica para el tamizaje y selección de pacientes que requieran pruebas de laboratorio. El Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) permite el cribado de TRS e identificación de signos primarios como el ronquido. RoncoLab es una aplicación móvil que registra y mide la intensidad y frecuencia del ronquido. Objetivo Comparar la eficacia del diagnóstico del ronquido por medio del RoncoLab contrastado con el PSQ Materiales y Método Estudio observacional, analítico, en el cual se incluyeron 31 niños de 7 a 11 años, que acudieron a la clínica de odontopediatría de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, México (BUAP) Se aplicó el PSQ a los 31 niños para el diagnóstico de TRS, después se le instruyó al tutor como descargar y utilizar la aplicación móvil para registrar los datos obtenidos en las horas de sueño en casa. El análisis estadístico de concordancia entre los instrumentos diagnósticos se realizó con el Índice Kappa de Cohen a un nivel de confianza del 95% Resultados El Índice de Kappa para la identificación de los ronquidos primarios fue de 0.743 (p<0.05). La sensibilidad de la aplicación fue de 0.92, mientras la especificidad fue de 0.82 Conclusión Existe buena concordancia entre el PSQ y el RoncoLab en el diagnóstico de ronquido primario, con sensibilidad y especificidad aceptable.

ABSTRACT Objectives: This study aims to determine the prevalence of tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth and characterize both anomalies in a Portuguese pediatric population. Methods: Clinical records of patients attending Pediatric Dentistry appointments in the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the University of Porto were consulted. Appointments from September 2020 to December 2021 were analyzed. For each patient, sex and age were recorded, along with any relevant data in their clinical history. Statistical analysis of the results was conducted using chi-square tests with a significance level of 0.05. The sample included 144 patients. Results: This study found a prevalence for tooth agenesis of 20.83% (11.81% excluding the third molars) and a prevalence for supernumerary teeth of 1.39%. The prevalence of agenesis was 26.1% for males and 16% for females. No association was established in this regard (p>0.05). The most affected teeth were the third molars, followed by the second premolars. The mandible had 52.63% of agenesis cases, but no association was found (p>0.05). Two cases of supernumerary teeth were found, both in male patients and in the second quadrant. No differences were inferred regarding sex (p>0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study contributed to the existing data regarding the prevalence of dental anomalies of number within a Portuguese population.

Resumen Presentamos un raro caso de nacimiento anómalo de arteria coronaria izquierda en el seno de Valsalva contralateral. Se trata de un hombre de 63 años que consultó al servicio de emergencias de nuestro centro por disnea progresiva de una semana de evolución, con signos clínicos de insuficiencia cardíaca, aso ciado a signos de congestión en la radiografía de tórax, y valores de NT-proBNP elevados (2000 pg/ml; valor normal <150). El ecocardiograma Doppler evidenció dilatación grave de la aurícula y del ventrículo izquierdo, con deterioro grave de la función sistólica (fracción de eyección de 26%), hipoquinesia global e insuficiencia mitral moderada con jet central. Se realizó una cinecoronariografía que evidenció el nacimiento anómalo del tronco de arteria coronaria izquierda desde el seno coronario derecho, con una lesión cercana al 50%. Una angiotomografía coronaria confirmó el origen anómalo del vaso coronario, con trayecto intramiocárdico a nivel del septum interventricular asociado a compresión extrínseca moderada. Para determinar el grado de isquemia funcional que presentaba la lesión del tronco coronario izquierdo se evaluó la reserva de flujo fraccional, que arrojó un resultado de 0.75 el cual se consideró significativo, prosiguiendo a angioplastia con implante de stent liberador de droga (con Everolimus) a dicha lesión. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente durante la internación en el hospital, egresando de la institución para continuar seguimiento ambulatorio. Persistió asintomático en los controles realizados al mes y a los 6 meses, sin evidencia de isquemia en la evaluación funcional no invasiva.

Abstract We present an unusual case of an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva: a 63-year-old male patient who consulted to our emergency department with 1-week history of progressive dyspnea on exertion with clinical signs of heart failure, associated with lung congestion on the chest X ray and elevated NT-proBNP levels (2000 pg/ml; normal value <150). Doppler echocardiography showed severe dilation of both left atrium and left ventricle, with severe deterioration of LV systolic function (Ejection fraction of 26%), global hypokinesia and a moderate mitral regurgitation with central jet. A cardiac cath eterization was performed, which evidenced an anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right coronary sinus with a proximal lesion of nearly 50%. A coronary computed tomographic angiography confirmed the diagnosis of an anomalous origin with an intramyocardial path at the level of the interventricular septum, as sociated with moderate extrinsic compression. To determine the degree of functional ischemia presented by the left main coronary artery lesion we performed a fractional flow reserve evaluation, resulting in 0.75, which was ranked as significant. An angioplasty with implantation of a drug-eluting stent (with Everolimus) was performed successfully to the target lesion. The patient evolved favorably during hospitalization and was discharged from the medical center to continue outpatient follow-up. Patient remained asymptomatic at 1-month and 6 months, during clinical evaluation, without evidence of ischemia on noninvasive functional assessment.

Resumen Introducción: Con poca frecuencia se ha reportado el entrenamiento necesario para realizar ultrasonido (US) obstétrico. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si el entrenamiento del ultrasonografista influye en la certeza del diagnóstico prenatal de algunas malformaciones congénitas. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo una evaluación retrospectiva de los hallazgos ultrasonográficos prenatales de neonatos que tuvieron malformaciones congénitas en un hospital de referencia pediátrico de tercer nivel. Se realizó al ingreso de neonatos consecutivos en un hospital de referencia de tercer nivel. Se recolectaron y analizaron datos del embarazo y alumbramiento, así como los de los ultrasonidos prenatales (USP) correlacionando con el diagnóstico final. Resultados: Se incluyeron 67 neonatos. Todos tuvieron USP con media de 4.6. Se realizó diagnóstico prenatal en 24 casos (35.8%). Se detectaron 13 malformaciones congénitas, predominando malformación anorectal gastrosquisis. La certeza del USP se asoció con el entrenamiento del individuo que realizó el US y la mayor certeza se encontró cuando lo realizaron ginecólogos y especialistas materno-fetales contra radiólogos y médicos generales (p = 0.005). Los pacientes sin diagnóstico prenatal certero tuvieron mayor riesgo de presentar comorbilidades (riesgo relativo [RR]: 1.65, p = < 0.001, 95% intervalo de confianza [CI]: 1.299-2.106). Conclusiones: En nuestro medio, el diagnóstico prenatal de estas malformaciones está determinado directamente por el entrenamiento de la persona que realiza el ultrasonido.

Abstract Background: The training needed for doing obstetric ultrasounds is rarely reported. The aim of this study was to determine whether the training of the ultrasonographer influences the prenatal diagnostic certainty of some congenital malformations. Methods: We conducted a retrospective evaluation of antepartum sonographic findings of newborn infants found ultimately to have a congenital anomaly in a tertiary level pediatric reference center. Data were collected on admission for consecutive patients at a tertiary-level pediatric reference center. The mother´s pregnancy and birth demographic variables and those of the prenatal ultrasound (PUS) were analyzed and correlated with the final diagnosis. Results: Sixty-seven neonates were included. All cases underwent PUS with a mean of 4.6. Prenatal diagnosis was established in 24 cases (35.8%). Thirteen surgical anomalies were detected, particularly anorectal malformation and gastroschisis. The accuracy of PUS was associated with the training of the physician performing the PUS, whereby PUS with the greatest accuracy were performed by gynecologists and maternal-fetal specialists against radiologists and general practitioners (p = 0.005). Patients without an accurate prenatal diagnosis had a greater risk of presenting comorbidities (relative risk [RR]: 1.65, p = < 0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.299-2.106). Conclusions: In our setting, prenatal diagnosis of these malformations is directly determined by the training of the person performing the ultrasound.

Abstract Although variation between observers in the assessment of the Apgar score, it remains a useful indicator of the general conditions of the newborn. This is a cross-sectional study based on population of live births in Brazil in 1999 and biennium 2018-2019. All declarations of live births (DNV) obtained from the Live Births System database were accessed. Frequencies were compared between groups using Pearson’s chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. A statistical significance level of 0.05 was considered. We included 9.050.521 DNVs in our research. We found that 2,1% of newborns had 5th minute Apgar < 7 in 1999 compared with 0,9% in 2018-2019. Multivariate analysis shows that twins and teenage pregnancy are no longer risk factors. Among risk factors, we observed an increase in prematurity, low birth weight and congenital anomalies. An improvement in maternal markers was observed, especially increase in the number of prenatal consultations and schooling. Such findings demonstrate the importance access and adequate prenatal care and improved socioeconomic conditions as effective strategy to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. score newborn crosssectional cross sectional 199 20182019. 20182019 2018 2019. 2019 2018-2019 DNV (DNV accessed Pearsons Pearson s chisquare chi square performed 005 0 05 0.0 considered 9050521 9 050 521 9.050.52 research 21 2 1 2,1 th 09 0,9 factors prematurity anomalies schooling mortality 19 2018201 201 2018-201 00 0. 905052 52 9.050.5 2, 0, 201820 20 2018-20 90505 5 9.050. 20182 2018-2 9050 9.050 2018- 905 9.05 90 9.0 9.

Resumo Apesar da variação entre observadores na avaliação do escore de Apgar, ele permanece um indicador útil das condições gerais do recém-nascido. O presente trabalho é um estudo de corte transversal baseado na população de nascidos vivos no Brasil no ano de 1999 e no biênio 2018-2019. Foram avaliadas todas as declarações de nascidos vivos (DNV) obtidas a partir do banco de dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos. As frequências foram comparadas entre os grupos por meio do teste qui-quadrado de Pearson e foi realizada análise de regressão logística multivariada. Adotou-se nível de significância estatística de 0,05. Foram analisadas 9.050.521 DNVs em nossa pesquisa. Constatamos que 2,1% dos recém-nascidos tiveram Apgar de 5º minuto < 7 em 1999, em comparação com 0,9% em 2018-2019. A análise multivariada indicou que gemelidade e gravidez na adolescência deixaram de ser fatores de risco para Apgar de 5º minuto < 7. Entre os fatores de risco, nota-se aumento da prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer e anomalias congênitas. Observou-se melhoria de marcadores maternos, em especial o aumento do número de consultas pré-natais e escolaridade. Tais achados mostram a importância de acesso e seguimento pré-natal adequado e investimento em melhores condições socioeconômicas como estratégia eficaz para redução de morbimortalidade neonatal. recémnascido. recémnascido recém nascido. nascido recém-nascido 199 20182019. 20182019 2018 2019. 2019 2018-2019 DNV (DNV Vivos quiquadrado qui quadrado Adotouse Adotou se 005 0 05 0,05 9050521 9 050 521 9.050.52 pesquisa 21 2 1 2,1 recémnascidos º 09 0,9 notase nota prematuridade congênitas Observouse Observou maternos prénatais pré natais escolaridade prénatal natal neonatal 19 2018201 201 2018-201 00 0,0 905052 52 9.050.5 2, 0, 201820 20 2018-20 90505 5 9.050. 20182 2018-2 9050 9.050 2018- 905 9.05 90 9.0 9.

Abstract Background Myocardial bridges (MB) are anatomical anomalies with possible clinical repercussions; hence, their understanding deserves attention. Objective To determinate the prevalence and characterize MB in human hearts from the state of Ceará. Methods: Fifty hearts of adult human cadavers from the Medicine School of Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. The hearts were dissected to identify MBs that pass over part of the coronary artery. The segment of the artery (proximal, middle, and distal) with a bridge was identified. The external diameter of the artery at the proximal and distal points of the MB was measured. The length and thickness of the MB were also measured with an electronic caliper. The muscle index (MMI) of the MB was calculated as the product of length and thickness expressed in millimeters. The significance level adopted in the statistical analysis was 5%. Results MB was confirmed in 40% of sample. Approximately one third of the sample had only 1 MB. MB was most frequently found over the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery (59.25%, p=0.02), and its prevalence in other branches was much lower (22.23%). The most affected segments of arteries were the superior (44.44%) and medium (40.74%). The mean diameter of arteries proximal to the MB was 2.38±0.97mm (range=0.78-5.15mm), and the diameter distal to the MB was 1.71±0.75mm (range=0.42-3.58mm). The length was measured as mean=8.55±5.27mm, while the mean thickness was 0.89±0.33mm. Conclusion A high prevalence of MB is more likely to affect the left coronary artery system with larger MMI than other affected branches.

Resumo Fundamento As pontes miocárdicas (PM) são anomalias anatômicas com possíveis repercussões clínicas, e, portanto, seu entendimento merece atenção. Objetivo Para determinar a prevalência e caracterizar a PM em corações humanos do estado do Ceará. Métodos: Foram usados cinquenta corações de cadáveres humanos adultos da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Ceará, Brasil. Os corações foram dissecados para identificar PMs que passam sobre parte da artéria coronária. O segmento da artéria (proximal, médio e distal) com a ponte foi identificado. O diâmetro externo da artéria nos pontos proximal e distal da PM foi medido. O comprimento e a espessura da PM também foram medidos com um calibre eletrônico. O índice de massa muscular (IMM) da PM foi calculado como o produto do comprimento pela espessura expresso em milímetros. O nível de significância adotado para a análise estatística foi 5%. Resultados A PM foi confirmada em 40% da amostra. Aproximadamente um terço da amostra tinha apenas 1 PM. A PM foi encontrada mais frequentemente sobre o ramo interventricular anterior da artéria coronária esquerda (59,25%, p = 0,02), e sua prevalência em outros ramos foi muito mais baixa (22,23%). Os segmentos das artérias mais afetados foram o superior (44,44%) e o médio (40,74%). O diâmetro médio das artérias proximais em relação à PM foi de 2,38 ± 0,97 mm (intervalo = 0,78 - 5,15 mm), e o diâmetro distal da PM foi de 1,71 ± 0,75 mm (intervalo = 0,42 - 3,58 mm). O comprimento foi medido como média = 8,55 ± 5,27 mm, e a espessura média foi de 0,89 ± 0,33 mm. Conclusão A alta prevalência de PM tem mais probabilidade de afetar o sistema da artéria coronária esquerda com IMM maior do que outros ramos afetados.

Aim Dental number anomalies are a group of congenital developmental disorders divided into two groups supernumerary and missing teeth. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of numeric dental anomalies using panoramic images in patients referred to the Hamadan Dental Faculty. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 2,197 panoramic radiographs of patients aged 6-49 years were evaluated. These anomalies are divided into two groups: 1) Supernumerary teeth, including Mesiodens, Distodens, and Peridens, and 2) Missing teeth, including Hypodontia, Oligodontia, and Anodontia. A Chi-square test was performed to assess the relationship between the anomalies. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16, in which P-value < 0.05 was considered the statistical significance level. Results Of 736 males (32.2%) and 1548 females (67.8%) in this study, 32 (4.3%) and 55 cases (3.8%) had supernumerary teeth, respectively. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth was 0.3%, 0.5%, and 0.6% in males and 0.2%, 1% and 1.2% in females for mesiodens, distodens, and peridens, respectively. Also, 243 males (10.6%) and 655 females (28.6%) had missing teeth anomalies. Hypodontia in the maxilla was the most common anomaly in both genders, while mesiodens was the least common. Conclusion Hypodontia was the most common anomaly, followed by peridens; the least common anomaly was mesiodens. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth was greater in males, though the difference was not statistically significant. In comparison, females had a greater prevalence of missing teeth.
