Abstract Objective Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare chronic granulomatous vasculitis that affects large vessels and usually begins in women of childbearing age, so it is not uncommon for pregnancies to occur in these patients. However, there is limited information about these pregnancies, with reports of adverse maternal and obstetric outcomes. The objective of this study is to evaluate adverse maternal, fetal and neonatal events in pregnant patients with TA. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection. We reviewed 22 pregnancies in 18 patients with TAK, according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria, that were followed up in a high-risk prenatal clinic specialized in systemic autoimmune diseases and thrombophilia (PrAT) at Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto, from 1998 to 2021. Results In twenty-two pregnancies, the mean age of patients was 28.09 years and the mean duration disease was 10.9 years. Of the 18 patients with TAK studied, only one had the diagnosis during pregnancy and had active disease. All other patients had a previous diagnosis of TAK and only 3 had disease activity during pregnancy. Twelve patients (66.6%) had previous systemic arterial hypertension and eleven (61.1%) had renal involvement. Among maternal complications, eight patients (36.3%) developed preeclampsia and six (27.2%) had uncontrolled blood pressure without proteinuria, while 10 (45%) had puerperal complications. Four (18.1%) births were premature, all due to severe preeclampsia and eight newborns (34.7%) were small for gestational age. When all maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes included in this study were considered, only 6 (27.2%) pregnancies were uneventful. Conclusion Although there were no maternal deaths or pregnancy losses in this study, the number of adverse events was considerably high. Hypertensive disorders and small for gestational age newborns were more common than general population, while the number of patients with active disease was low. These findings suggest that pregnancies in patients with TAK still have several complications and a high-risk prenatal care and delivery are necessary for these patients.

RESUMEN Objetivo El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los principales patrones de adherencia a las pautas de prevención del cáncer propuestas por el World Cancer Research Fund/ American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) de 2018 por sobrevivientes de cáncer de mama. Métodos Estudio transversal que utilizó el Análisis Factorial de Componentes Principales para identificar los patrones de adherencia y los cuartiles más alto (Q4) y más bajo (Q1) de cada patrón. Resultados Se identificaron dos patrones principales de adherencia: ‘granos/frutas/ fibra’ -adherencia a un índice de masa corporal saludable (IMC), una dieta rica en granos, verduras, frutas y frijoles y fibra total-; una segunda, ‘comida rápida/azúcar’ -adherencia al IMC, limitando el consumo de comida rápida, alimentos procesados, azúcar y fécula y el consumo de bebidas azucaradas-. El patrón ‘comida rápida/azúcar’ tiene la mayor influencia en el IMC (0,4672). Se observa menor peso (p=0,005; p=0,001) e IMC (p=0,001; p<0,001) en mujeres en el Q4 de los dos patrones, respectivamente. Conclusiones Las sobrevivientes de cáncer de mama tienen un patrón de adherencia a las guías caracterizado por un mayor consumo de granos, verduras, frutas, frijoles y fibra y otro caracterizado por un consumo limitado de alimentos procesados y bebidas azucaradas, con mayor impacto en el IMC.

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to assess the main patterns of adherence to the cancer prevention guidelines proposed by the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund/ American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) by breast cancer survivors. Methods Cross-sectional study that used the Principal Component Factor Analysis to identify the adherence patterns and the highest (Q4) and lowest (Q1) quartiles of each pattern. Results Two main adherence patterns were identified: ‘grains/fruits/fiber’ -adherence to a healthy body mass index (BMI), a diet rich in grains, vegetables, fruits and beans and total fiber-; a second, ‘fast-food/sugar’ -adherence to the BMI, limiting the consumption of fast food, processed foods, sugar and starch and the consumption of sugary drinks-. The ‘fast-food/sugar’ pattern has the greatest influence on BMI (0.4672). Lower weight (p=0.005; p=0.001) and BMI (p=0.001; p<0.001) are observed in women at the Q4 of the two patterns, respectively. Conclusions Breast cancer survivors have a pattern of adherence to the guidelines characterized by greater consumption of grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, and fiber; and another characterized by a limited consumption of processed foods and sugary drinks, with a greater impact on BMI.

Abstract The study of dental development in individuals born with cleft lip and palate (CLP) serves to determine when orthodontic intervention should start. Objective To evaluate the permanent second molar development in children born with cleft lip and palate according to Demirjian’s and Nolla’s methods. Methodology Out of a total of 513 digital panoramic radiographs, 113 pairs of children aged 3 to 16 years were selected. The exams were from children born with or without cleft lip and palate, of the same sex, with an age difference of up to 30 days. The images were analyzed by three examiners and reliability was checked through intra-examiner agreement by the Kappa test. The data were analyzed by Wilcoxon's and Mann-Whitney tests according to each dataset. Results The findings indicated delayed development of the permanent second molars in children with CLP (P<0.001). The development of the right permanent second molar was delayed compared to the left molar in children with CLP. Moreover, mandibular teeth showed significantly earlier development than maxillary teeth in both the case and control groups. There was no significant difference in the development of permanent second molars between sexes. Conclusion Children with CLP presented delay in the development of permanent second molars.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The etiology of temporomandibular dysfunction is multifactorial, and causal factors include psychological conditions such as anxiety. Objective: Identify the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction and anxiety as well as their levels among dental students from the Federal University of Campina Grande. Methods: An inductive cross-sectional observational study was conducted of a sample of 185 dental students from the Federal University of Campina Grande. Data collection was based on Fonseca's anamnesis index and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and subjected to the chi-square statistical test and Fisher's exact test, with a significance level of 5 %. Results: Results show that most of the sample was female (67 %) with a mean age of 21.4 years. On the other hand, 79 % of the students had some degree of dysfunction, which was mild in most (72 %). Anxiety state and anxiety trait were more prevalent on the moderate level with 79 % and 72 % respectively. No significant statistical association was identified in the study sample between the presence and absence of temporomandibular dysfunction and anxiety, be it trait or state, with values of p= 0.484 and p= 0.297 respectively. Conclusions: High statistical prevalence was found of temporomandibular dysfunction and anxiety among dental students, hence the importance of a detailed search for those signs and symptoms during clinical examination.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é investigar associação entre a proveniência de lanches consumidos na escola, seu valor nutricional e o sobrepeso/obesidade. Estudo transversal com 3.930 escolares de 7-10 anos de idade, de Santa Catarina. O consumo alimentar na escola foi avaliado com R-24 horas ilustrado, e a origem dos lanches por entrevista estruturada. Refrigerantes e sucos artificiais, frituras, salgadinhos industrializados, lanches prontos, doces, guloseimas e biscoitos recheados foram classificados como “lanches de baixo valor nutricional”, enquanto frutas, sucos naturais, legumes, verduras e sopa de verduras foram os “lanches de alto valor nutricional”. Realizou-se regressão logística univariada e múltipla. O sobrepeso/obesidade se associou significativamente ao consumo de alimentos provenientes da cantina (OR = 1,34; IC = 1,07-1,68), na rede particular. Trazer alimentos de casa foi significativamente associado ao maior consumo de lanches de baixo valor nutricional, nas escolas públicas (OR = 1,56; IC = 1,32-1,83) e nas particulares (OR = 2,64; IC = 1,76-3,97). Os resultados apontam a necessidade de expansão de normativas que minimizem a disponibilidade de alimentos de baixo valor nutricional nas cantinas e que promovam educação nutricional envolvendo a comunidade escolar.

Abstract The scope of this article is to investigate the association between the source of snacks consumed in schools, their nutritional value and overweight/obesity. It involved a cross-sectional study with 3,930 schoolchildren aged between 7 and10 in the state of Santa Catarina. Food consumption in the school was assessed with an illustrated 24-hour dietary recall and the source of snacks was investigated by structured interview. Soft drinks and artificial fruit juices, fried and processed snacks, ready-to-eat or sweetened snacks, delicacies and stuffed biscuits were classified as “low nutritional value foods,” while fruit, natural fruit juices, vegetables, and vegetable soup were the “high nutritional value foods.” Univariate and multiple logistic regression was conducted. Overweight/obesity was significantly associated with higher food consumption from the school canteen (OR = 1.34; CI = 1.07-1.68) in private schools. Bringing food from home was significantly associated with increased consumption of low nutritional foods, both in public (OR = 1.56; CI = 1.32-1.83) and private (OR = 2.64; CI = 1.76-3.97) schools. The results highlight the need for tightening of norms to reduce the availability of low nutritional value food in canteens, and actions to promote nutritional education involving the school community.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o desenvolvimento dos caninos permanentes de crianças da Paraíba com fissura labiopalatina utilizando os métodos de Nolla e Demirjian. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado utilizando uma abordagem indutiva com procedimento estatístico comparativo e técnica de pesquisa por documentação direta. O universo consistiu de todas as crianças atendidas no serviço de ortodontia da Associação Brasileira de Odontologia - Secção Paraíba. A amostra foi composta por 72 pares de radiografias panorâmicas de crianças com e sem fissura labiopalatina, de mesmo gênero e com diferença de idade de até 30 dias, na faixa etária dos 5 aos 13 anos. Assim, foi avaliado o desenvolvimento de 576 dentes caninos. Todas as imagens foram avaliadas por três examinadores devidamente calibrados, ao mesmo tempo, e os estágios de calcificação foram determinados mediante consenso. Nas radiografias panorâmicas foram avaliados os graus de calcificação dos dentes caninos de acordo com a classificação de Nolla e Demirjian. Resultados: As médias dos estágios de calcificação foram correspondentemente mais elevadas no grupo caso do que no grupo controle, mostrando atraso de desenvolvimento dos dentes caninos nos pacientes fissurados. Os caninos inferiores apresentaram-se significativamente mais adiantados em relação aos superiores (p < 0,001). Não foram registradas diferenças significativas entre os lados. O desenvolvimento dentário ocorreu precocemente no sexo feminino, mas sem diferença significativa. Conclusão: Desta forma, o presente estudo vem colaborar para o aprimoramento dos conhecimentos acerca do desenvolvimento morfológico dos caninos permanentes nos pacientes fissurados. É consolidada a importância da individualização no planejamento ortodôntico, considerando a grande variação e importância do dente canino, tanto no aspecto funcional, como estético.

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluating the development of the permanent cuspids in children from Paraíba with cleft lip and palate applying the Nolla and the Demirjian methods. Methods: A cross-sectional study using an inductive approach and applying a comparative statistical procedure and direct documentation research technique. The universe of the study consisted of children assisted at the orthodontic practice of the Brazilian Association of Dentistry - Paraíba Section. The sample comprised 72 pairs of panoramic radiographs of children with and without cleft lip and palate from the same gender and, age difference of up to 30 days, ranging from 5 to 13 years of age. The study has evaluated the development of 576 cuspids. The images were evaluated by three duly calibrated examiners concomitantly, and the calcification stages were determined by a consensus. The stages of the cuspids calcification were evaluated in the panoramic radiographs according to Nolla and Demirjian classifications. Results: The average of the calcification stage of teeth was correspondingly higher in the control group than in the case group, showing a development delay of the cuspid teeth in the cleft lip and palate patients. The lower cuspids were significantly more developed than the upper cuspids (p <0.001). There were no significant differences between the sides. There was early tooth development in females but without significant difference. Conclusion: It was possible to note that patients with cleft lip and palate presented a delay in the development of the permanent cuspids when compared to non-cleft lip and palate patients, thus, reinforcing the importance of the individualization of the orthodontic planning.

Abstract We reviewed the occurrences and distributional patterns of migratory species of birds in Brazil. A species was classified as migratory when at least part of its population performs cyclical, seasonal movements with high fidelity to its breeding grounds. Of the 1,919 species of birds recorded in Brazil, 198 (10.3%) are migratory. Of these, 127 (64%) were classified as Migratory and 71 (36%) as Partially Migratory. A few species (83; 4.3%) were classified as Vagrant and eight (0,4%) species could not be defined due to limited information available, or due to conflicting data.

RESUMO Objetivo: estudar os dados epidemiológicos de pacientes vítimas de traumas bucomaxilofaciais atendidos em um hospital de referência da Paraíba. Métodos: estudo transversal de abordagem indutiva com procedimento estatístico comparativo e técnica de pesquisa por documentação direta em campo. O universo foi constituído dos prontuários hospitalares obtidos de janeiro de 2016 a dezembro de 2017 de pacientes atendidos pelo Serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial desse hospital. A amostra foi composta por 332 pacientes de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade do estudo. A coleta de dados foi realizada por dois examinadores previamente calibrados e os dados foram analisados descritiva e inferencialmente. Resultados: os pacientes do sexo masculino foram mais acometidos por trauma facial (83,1%), principalmente na terceira década de vida (32,2%). Acidentes motociclísticos foram a etiologia mais comum de trauma para ambos os sexos. Em relação à estatística inferencial com margem de erro fixada em 5%, não foi observada associação significativa (p>0,05) entre os sexos e os fatores etiológicos do trauma. Os ossos do nariz (38,2%) foram os ossos mais afetados e a lesão mais frequente de partes moles foi o edema, em 50,9% dos casos. Apenas 20,8% dos pacientes com fraturas ósseas foram politraumatizados. Conclusão: as vítimas de traumatismo bucomaxilofacial atendidas em nosso hospital são predominantemente homens na terceira década de vida, envolvidos em acidentes motociclísticos e com lesões em ossos do nariz.

ABSTRACT Objective: to study the epidemiological data of patients suffering from buccomaxillofacial trauma treated at a referral hospital in the State of Paraíba. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study of inductive approach, with a comparative statistical procedure and research technique by field direct documentation. The sample comprised hospital records obtained from January 2016 to December 2017 of patients attended by the Service of Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology of this hospital, and consisted of 332 patients according to the study’s eligibility criteria. Two previously calibrated examiners collected and analyzed the data, both descriptively and inferentially. Results: males sustained the majority of facial trauma (83.1%), mainly in the third decade of life (32.2%). Motorcycle accidents were the most common etiology of trauma for both genders. In relation to inferential statistics with a margin of error of 5%, there was no significant association (p>0.05) between the genders and the trauma etiological factors. The bones of the nose (38.2%) were the most affected bones and the most frequent soft tissue injury was edema, in 50.9% of cases. Only 20.8% of the patients with bone fractures were polytraumatized. Conclusion: the victims of oral and maxillofacial trauma attended at our hospital are predominantly men in the third decade of life, involved in motorcycle accidents and sustaining lesions in the nose bones nose.

OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar no Estado de Santa Catarina. MÉTODOS: Pesquisa quantitativa exploratória e transversal. A coleta de dados foi realizada de fevereiro a maio de 2010 por meio de questionário online com 293 municípios catarinenses. As variáveis descritivas foram analisadas conforme distribuição absoluta e relativa. Na análise estatística foi realizado o teste de Qui-quadrado (p<0,05) utilizando software Stata 11.0. RESULTADOS: A taxa de adesão foi de 74,4%. A maioria dos municípios possuía: gestão do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar centralizada (97,7%); até 10 escolas (58,7%); até mil alunos matriculados (55,1%), apenas um nutricionista (91,7%); e até 10 merendeiras no município (49,5%); fornecendo até 2 mil refeições ao dia (61,9%). Destaca-se que 2,8% dos municípios não possuíam responsável técnico e dois terços afirmaram que o custo médio por refeição servida variava entre R$0,31 e R$0,90, enquanto 21,6% informaram que o custo médio da refeição foi ≤R$0,30. Não foi detectada diferença estatística significante em relação ao número de refeições por merendeira ao dia e ao custo médio da refeição entre os diferentes portes dos municípios ou índice de desenvolvimento humano (p=0,584). Detectou-se adequação no número de nutricionistas por aluno matriculado estatisticamente maior nos municípios de pequeno porte (p<0,001), assim com nos municípios de médio índice de desenvolvimento humano (p<0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Verifica-se inadequação da maioria dos municípios quanto ao número de nutricionistas. Percebeu-se a necessidade do estabelecimento de parâmetros mínimos de adequação entre número de merendeiras e refeições servidas, da necessidade de incentivos financeiros relacionados à mão de obra e custo das refeições.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the National School Food Program in Santa Catarina State. METHODS: This quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional study used an online questionnaire to collect data from 293 municipalities in Santa Catarina from February to May 2010. The descriptive variables were analyzed according to their absolute and relative distributions. The software Stata 11.0 used the Chi-square test for comparing groups with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). RESULTS: The questionnaire response rate was 74.4%. Some municipalities had: centralized management of the National School Food Program (97.7%); up to 10 schools (58.7%); up to one thousand students enrolled in public schools (55.1%); one dietician (91.7%); up to ten cooks (49.5%); and up to two thousand meals served per day (61.9%). A few (2.8%) municipalities did not have a technician in charge of the school food. The mean cost of each meal was ≤R$0.30 in 21.6% of the municipalities and varied from R$0.31 to R$0.90 in two-thirds of the municipalities. Municipalities of different sizes or Human Development Indices had similar mean meal cost and number of meals prepared per cook per day (p=0.584). Small municipalities (p<0.001) and those with medium Human Development Indices (p<0.001) were more likely to have a proper dietician-to-student ratio. CONCLUSION: There is an inadequacy in most municipalities regarding the number of nutritionists. To establish minimum standards of adequacy between the number of cooks and meals served is necessary, beyond the need for financial incentives regarding workforce and meals costs.

Enhancement filters are potentially supposed to improve the diagnostic performance of digital images. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the performance of digital radiography with and without enhancement filters for the detection of induced proximal caries lesions. The total sample consisted of 120 sound human teeth (40 premolars, 80 molars). Enamel subsurface demineralization was induced in one of the proximal surfaces of 60 teeth. Standardized radiographs of all teeth were acquired after the demineralization phase using the Digora-Optime® system. Four radiologists examined the digital radiographs and applied the following filters provided by the Digora® for Windows 2.6 package: Negative, Sharpen and both (Negative plus Sharpen). Validation of radiographic diagnosis was carried out by Knoop cross-sectional micro-hardness profiling on the proximal surfaces. Intraobserver agreement was estimated using Kappa statistics (k). Sensitivity, specificity and over-all accuracy were compared using ANOVA/Tukey test (α = 5%). Intraobserver agreement ranged from good to very good/optimal (k: 0.65–0.83). Although not statistically significant, the highest sensitivity (0.68 ± 0.22) and accuracy (0.76 ± 0.16) values were observed using the Sharpen filter as opposed to the Negative filter, which presented the lowest performance indices (0.57 ± 0.13 and 0.70 ± 0.10, respectively). Specificity ranged from 0.84 to 0.85, considering all imaging modalities (p > 0.05). Insofar as the Sharpen filter had the highest performance indices, it may be considered a useful adjunct for detecting subtle proximal caries lesions.

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os Conselhos Municipais de Alimentação Escolar (CAE) no Estado de Santa Catarina. Investigação transversal em amostra de municípios catarinenses (n = 152; 52%). Entrevistaram-se preferencialmente os presidentes dos CAE, pesquisando-se o perfil dos conselheiros, as atribuições realizadas e a relação do CAE com outras instâncias de controle social. Utilizou-se Regressão de Poisson para obter razões de prevalências bruta e ajustada. No modelo ajustado seguiu-se uma abordagem hierárquica. A maioria dos conselhos analisava a prestação de contas, fiscalizava os recursos, zelava pela qualidade do PNAE em todos os níveis, orientava o armazenamento dos alimentos, participava da elaboração do cardápio, acompanhava a compra de gêneros e tinha regimento interno. Entretanto, apenas 22,4% realizavam todas as atribuições com frequência maior ou igual à anual. Verificou-se associação positiva entre uma boa atuação do CAE e existência de relação com outros conselhos locais. A sensibilização dos CAE e o estímulo à atuação articulada com outros conselhos e atores envolvidos com a segurança alimentar e nutricional, são essenciais para a garantia do direito à alimentação saudável e adequada nas escolas.

The aim of this study is to assess Municipal School Nutrition Councils (CAEs) of the Brazilian School Nutrition Program (PNAE) in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of municipalities in the state (n = 152; 52%). CAE presidents were interviewed and asked about the counselor profile, attributions performed and the relation of CAEs with other local councils. Poisson regression analysis was conducted to obtain unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios and the adjusted model adopted a hierarchic approach. The majority of councils analyzed their accounting reports, monitored resources and strived for quality of the CAEs at all levels. They coordinated the storage of food, participated in establishing the menu, monitored the purchasing of food and had an internal control system. However, only 22.4% carried out all their attributions once or more per year. A positive association was found between an adequate performance of the CAE and relations with other local councils. The awareness of the CAEs, as well as a stimulus to acting jointly with other councils and actors involved with food and nutrition security, are essential to ensure the right to healthy and adequate nutrition at school.
