Candida is a kind of yeast, is a fungus that infects the body.Candidiasis is known as yeast contagion because the infecting agent is a yeast, Candida albicans. Candida albicans are the pathogens that are of much significance which are present everywhere and mostly reside along side plentiful bacteria near mouth, gastrointestinal tract and vagina. Hippocrates was the first person to describe candidiasis in 1849. Candidiasis of the mouth is termed as Thrush. Cutaneous candidiasis is a skin infection that occurs in parts of the skin that have very little ventilation and are rarely moist. Deep Candidiasis occurs when fungi infiltrate the body, enter the bloodstream, and spread throughout the body.Treatment methodology are different for each case. Natural prevention is mandatory to safe yourself from being a victim to disease

The liver is the second-largest organ in the human body, which has the ability to regenerate after an injury or any inflammation. The liver diseases can be classified as an acute or chronic and infectious or non-infectious origin. Almost all the liver diseases produce oral manifestations like petechiae, Excessive bleeding in the cause of any minor trauma, inflammation. Oral Manifestation like gingival bleeding, glossitis, sialadenitis, hyposalivation are most commonly associated and perioral rashes, more prone to dental caries, Candidiasis are associated rarely with liver cirrhosis. Dry mouth, Sjogren syndrome both are commonly associated with all liver disease, hyposalivation leads to changes in the oral mucosa like alteration in taste, burning sensation in the tongue, bad breath etc., There are changes seen in oral mucosa, Candidiasis, fissured tongue, aphthous ulcers, bald tongue and halitosis due to compounds like Aliphatic acid, hydrogen sulfide, produced as a result of liver damage and they have a characteristic mousy odour. The common oral manifestations that are associated with Hepatocellular carcinoma include increased incidence of dental caries, loss of the tooth, Gingival bleeding, increased bone loss, chronic periodontitis, oral thrush, Candidiasis and oral lichen planus. Liver diseases have many implications in a dental setting and should carefully take a brief medical history. This study will provide better knowledge in understanding the association between liver disease and oral hygiene, Effective treatment planning in a dental setting also for liver diseased patients. Dental practitioners should know the oral manifestations commonly associated with liver diseases so that treatment can be accordingly made. With this background, the present study aims to review the impact of liver disease on oral health and its management in a dental setting.

Background. Acute pseudomembranous candidiasis or often called oral thrush is a disease in the oral cavity caused by the overgrowth of Candida albicans. Angular cheilitis is an inflammatory lesion on the corners of the mouth. The purpose of this case report is to document the oral manifestations in patients with suspected diabetes mellitus. Case Report. A 57-year-old woman came with complaints of a burning sensation throughout the mouth and lips and presented a white spot on her tongue with soreness in the past year. The patient has diabetes mellitus and regularly takes medication. Despite this, the patient still has experienced classical signs of diabetes mellitus which are polyphagia, polydipsia, and polyuria. Intraorally the burning sensations were related to the full denture continuous wearness and were diagnosed as acute pseudomembranous candidiasis and angular cheilitis. The treatment given to this patient was symptomatic therapy in the form of Aloclair Plus mouthwash, causative therapy in the form of Nystatin oral suspension and referral to an internist to further examine the condition of diabetes mellitus, and supportive therapy in the form of lanolin and vaseline. Treatment ends with the provision of communication, instruction, and education.

Background This review aimed to chart the landscape of literature concerning the precise applications of traditional medicine in managing specific oral diseases and, in doing so, to pinpoint knowledge gaps surrounding the use of traditional medicine for oral disease management in the African context. Methods A systematic search of the literature was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL. The search was conducted from the inception of the database till September 2023. A search of related citations and references was also carried out. Only English language publications were included. A summary of studies that met the inclusion criteria was conducted. Results Of the 584 records identified, 11 were duplicates and 12 studies, published between 2006 and 2021, met the inclusion criteria. The studies were published from eight countries located in the five sub-regions on the continent. All the studies were either experimental designs or ethnobotanical surveys and they all utilized plant-based remedies. The five experimental studies aimed to assess the impact of whole plants or plant extracts on the three microorganisms responsible for dental caries and seven responsible for periodontal diseases. The number of plant species identified by the seven ethnobotanical surveys ranged from 29 to 62 while the number of plan families ranged from 15 to 29. The remedies were either topical applied, use as mouth rinses, gargled, or chewed. The systemic routes of administration identified were inhalation and drinking. The remedies were used for the treatment of hard such as dental caries and tooth sensitivity, to soft tissue lesions such as mouth ulcers, gingival bleeding, and mouth thrush. Other oral disorders managed include halitosis, jaw fracture, and oral cancer. Conclusions Given the increasing prevalence of oral diseases within the region, the shortage of oral healthcare professionals and limited access to financial resources, it becomes imperative to support the generation of empirical evidence to enhance the provision of traditional medicine for oral healthcare in Africa.

Our teeth don't necessarily hurt until something big is going on. While some health issues show up in the mouth, Poor oral hygiene can lead to negative health outcomes, the problems go both ways: Some studies show that there may even be a connection between poor oral health and worse brain health Brushing at least twice a day, flossing at least once a day, contribute to greater dental, oral and overall health." Studies suggest that oral bacteria and the inflammation associated with a severe form of gum disease (periodontitis) play a role in diseases like oral thrush, loose teeth, carries. Similarly, diseases such as diabetes and HIV/AIDS lower the body's resistance to infection, turning oral health problems more severe. A primary care doctor plays varied roles – a scientist, a healer, and an organized service provider. Healing may not reverse the damage but curtails the illness or its consequences from controlling our lives. Every PCP as they grow into the profession must be driven by competence, newer medical developments & technologies, precision in decision-making / treatment, improving people’s lives, understanding the importance of compassion, and realizing that the science is incomplete, then only a healer emerges in him or her. The system must take responsibility for their appropriate training. Each PCP must make it a practice to have a quick scan of the mouth in every visit of their patients not to miss early detection, treatment, and preventive care opportunity. Materials and Methods: This article is based on identification of two cases of Oral cancers one in early stage, biopsied leading to simple excision and cured from Bhutan and another case from Raichur in November 2023 in late stage currently under chemotherapy, one case of Aphthous ulcer and a few cases of gingivitis due to diabetes, with mixed results.

Candidiasis is an infectious disease caused by the fungus candida. Research on this fungus has been widely carried out until several types of candida fungi are found that can attack and cause infections in humans. Types of candidiasis also vary, but can be classified in general into three types, namely attacking the mouth (Candidiasis Thrush), vagina (Vulvoginal Candidiasis), and skin (Cutaneous Candidiasis). Candidiasis is very susceptible to infection and infection, therefore a study is needed to diagnose candidiasis. Today, expert systems are often used to diagnose diseases. There are several methods commonly used in expertise, including the Certainty Factor method and the Bayes Theorem. However, the problem faced in implementing an expert system in any field is uncertainty. This is caused by the user's hesitation in answering questions during the consultation session or even the inaccuracy of the methods used in building the system. Therefore, it is necessary to study and compare the methods that can be used to build the system. Exponential is a simple comparison that can reduce bias in the analysis process. This study aims to apply and analyze both methods and the results compare with an exponential comparison in detecting candidiasis in humans. The results of this study showed that both methods achieved the same results, namely the lowest percentage level was Candidiasis Truth, then Vuvoginal Candidiasis, and the highest was Candidiasis Cutaneous. Of these two methods, Certanty Factor is more accurate in diagnosing candidiasis.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a serious disease affecting the global graziery industry. Once an epidemic occurs, it can lead to economic and trade stagnation. In recent decades, FMD has been effectively controlled and even successfully eradicated in some countries or regions through mandatory vaccination with inactivated foot-and-mouth disease vaccines. Nevertheless, FMD still occurs in some parts of Africa and Asia. The transmission efficiency of foot-and-mouth disease is high. Both disease countries and disease-free countries should always be prepared to deal with outbreaks of FMD. The development of vaccines has played a key role in this regard. This paper summarizes the development of several promising vaccines including progress and design ideas. It also provides ways to develop a new generation of vaccines for FMDV and other major diseases.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study at the Brooklyn Chest Hospital (BCH) was to assess the change in the oral carriage of Candida species in twenty-nine patients co-infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Tuberculosis (TB), before and after anti-fungal treatment. Each patient accepted onto the study underwent a comprehensive oral and peri-oral examination where the presence, site and clinical features of all oral and peri-oral lesions were recorded. The purpose of the examination was to provide a clinical diagnosis of oral candidasis. Each patient was also asked to provide a sample of oral fluid for laboratory analysis. This was collected using an oral rinse. The results of a variety of laboratory investigations were used to identify the species of Candida obtained from the oral rinse. Both the oral and peri-oral examination and the oral rinse procedure were repeated after one month and at three months. A sample from each oral rinse was inoculated on CHROMagar Candida chromogenic medium (CHROMagar Candida, France, Paris). CHROMagar is used for the isolation and presumptive identification of Candida sp. from other yeasts on the basis of strongly contrasted colony colours, which are produced by the reactions of species-specific enzymes with a proprietary chromogenic substrate. After forty-eight hours the CHROMagar plate was examined for growth, when a record of colony morphology and colour was made. A single sample from each different colour-coded colony was taken and streaked onto a Sabouraud plate (Oxoid, Basingstake, England) and then incubated for forty eight hours at thirty-seven degrees centigrade. A variety of laboratory investigations were subsequently carried out on a single colony taken from the Sabouraud agar plate (Oxoid). The results of these tests were used to identify the individual species of Candida isolated from each oral rinse. Oral candidasis was the most prevalent oral lesion observed on admission and at three months. Six different species of Candida were identified during this study, namely Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, Candida krusei, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis. C.albicans was the most commonly identified species in study population. Candida dubliniensis was isolated and identified for the first time in a South African HIV population. Each specimen of Candida sp. identified by laboratory analysis was tested for sensitivity to Nystatin, Amphotericin B and Fluconazole anti-fungal agents. An additional sensitivity test was performed using Ajoene and Allicin (extracts of garlic) to assess the comparative antifungal properties of these compounds.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelwit van hierdie studie by die Brooklyn Borshospitaal (BCH) was om die verandering in orale draerstatus van die Kandida spesies in nege-en-twintig HIVfTB koïnfekteerde pasiënte vas te stel, voor- en na antifungale behandeling. Elke pasiënt in die studie het 'n volledige intra- en ekstra-orale ondersoek ondergaan. Die teenwoordigheid, area en kliniese voorkoms van alle letsels is noteer. Die doel van die ondersoek was om 'n kliniese diagnose van orale kandidiase te verkry. 'n Monster orale vloeistof is geneem van elke pasiënt vir laboratorium analise. Die monster is in die vorm van 'n mondspoel geneem. Verskeie toetse is gedoen om die verskillende Kandida spesies in elke monster te identifiseer. Die orale- en ekstra-orale ondersoek sowel as die mondspoelmonster is na 1 en 3 maande herhaal. Elke mondspoelmonster is op CHROMagar Kandida chromogene medium (CHROMagar Candida, France) inokuleer. CHROMagar word gebruik vir die vermoedelike identifikasie en isolasie van Kandida spesies teenoor ander swamme. Dit word gedoen op die basis van kontrasterende koloniekleure, wat teweeggebring word deur spesie-spesifieke ensiemreaksies op 'n chromogene substraat. Die CHROMagar plate is na 48 uur ondersoek vir groei en die kolonie-morfologie en - kleur is noteer. 'n Enkel monster. is geneem van elke verskillende kolonie (geskei op kleur) en is uitgestreep op 'n Saboraud plaat (Oxoid, Basingstoke, England). Dit is dan vir 48 uur inkubeer teen 37°C. Verskeie laboratorium ondersoeke is daarna uitgevoer op 'n enkel kolonie geneem vanaf die Saboraud agar plaat (oxoid). Die resultate van die ondersoeke is gebruik om individuele spesies van Kandida te identifiseer. Orale Kandidiase was die mees algemene orale letsel geïdentifiseer by toelating en 3 maande ondersoeke. Ses verskillende spesies Kandida is identifiseer tydens die studie, naamlik: Kandida albicans, K.dubliniensis, K.Krusei, K.glabrata, K.parapsilosis en K.tropicalis. K.albicans was die mees algemeen identifiseerde spesie in die studiepopulasie. K.dubliniensis is vir die eerste keer in Suid-Afrika in 'n HIV<+lpopulasie isoleer en geïdentifiseer. Elke monster van identifiseerde Kandida spesies is getoets vir sensitiwiteit teenoor Nistatien, Amfotensien B en Flukonasool. Addisioneel is ook getoets vir sensitiwiteit teenoor Ajoene en Allicin (knoffelekstrakte).

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this review was to investigate the management of oral candidiasis in HIV/AIDS patients and to evaluate the different guidelines that are available for its management. To achieve this aim, three objectives were identified: (i) to identify and report on the different interventions used to manage oral candidiasis, in patients with HIV/AIDS, (ii) to determine the efficacy of these interventions, and (iii) to provide guidelines for management. A thorough systematic search of the literature was carried out and all relevant papers were graded into three levels of evidence (A, B, and C) and scored for quality according to set criteria. A number of topical and systemic antifungal medications are used to treat oral candidiasis in HIV-positive patients. These include the poleyne antibiotics, nystatin and amphotericin B. Milder episodes of oral candidiasis respond to topical therapy with nystatin, clotrimazole troches or oral ketoconazole. Fluconazole has been extensively evaluated as a treatment for candidiasis. With HIV-infection, a cure rate of 82% has been achieved with a daily oral dose of 50 mg. Fluconazole was found to be a better choice of treatment for relapsing oropharyngeal candidiasis, resulting in either better cure rates or better prevention of relapse. Intravenous amphotericin B has been found to be effective therapy in azole refractory candidiasis where it was shown to be safe and well tolerated. Topical therapies were found to be effective treatment for uncomplicated oropharyngeal candidiasis, however patients relapsed more quickly than those treated with oral systemic antifungal therapy. Overall, nystatin appears less effective than clotrimazole and the azoles in the treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis. With regard to the resolution of clinical symptoms, clotrimazole was found to be just as effective as the azoles, except when patient compliance was poor. Fluconazole-treated patients were more likely to remain disease-free during the fluconazole follow-up period than with those treated with other interventions. Relatively few studies were qualified to address the provision of guidelines for the management of oral candidiasis in primary health care settings. Most of the studies found were of moderate and low quality level of evidence. These studies included the assessment of different guidelines for identification, treatment and dental needs. They stressed that patients with HN need dentists who will act as primary health care providers, together with other providers to ensure adequate overall care. Given the level of interest and importance of candidiasis associated with treatment of HN -positive patients, it is surprising to find that little high quality research has been undertaken. As such, it is hoped that this review would provide researchers, oral health care workers and other health care providers with an overview of the management of oral candidiasis associated with HN/AIDS.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling van die oorsig was om ondersoek in te stel na die hantering van orale kandidiase in HIV/AIDS pasiënte asook om die verskillende beskikbare riglyne vir die behandeling daarvan te evalueer. Ter verwesenliking van hierdie doelstelling is drie doelwitte geïdentifiseer: (i) om die intervensies wat gebruik word in die hantering van orale kandidiase behandeling te identifiseer, (ii) om die effektiwiteit van hierdie intervensies te identifiseer en (iii) om op grond hiervan riglyne vir die hantering voor te stel. 'n Sistematiese literatuursoektog is uitgevoer en alle relevante artikels is in drie groepe geklassifiseer (A, B en C) op grond van die data kwaliteit. 'n Verskeidenheid topikale en sistemiese antifungale middels word gebruik om orale kandidiase in HIV-positiewe pasiënte te behandel. 'n Sukseskoers van 82% is met die gebruik van 'n daaglikse dosis van 50 mg medikament gerapporteer. Fluconazole was die beter keuse van middel vir die behandeling van terugkerende orofaringeale kandidiase. Topikale behandeling was effektief in die behandeling van ongekompliseerde orofaringeale kandidiase, hoewel die kans op terugkeer van die toestand groter was as met die sistemiese middels. Pasiënte wat met flukonasool behandel is, het 'n groter kans gehad om siektevry te bly vergeleke met pasiënte op die ander intervensies. Meeste van die studies was van middelmatige tot lae kwaliteit en gevolglik was dit moeilik om behandelingsriglyne te stel. Wat egter wel duidelik is, is dat HIV pasiënte primêre mondsorg benodig wat saam met ander versorging omvattende sorg sal verseker.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is the most important trans-boundary animal disease affecting the livelihood of livestock owners. To contribute to the long term goal to control FMD in south-eastern Asia, the South East Asia and China FMD Campaign (SEACFMD) has been implementing a progressive control approach based on sound epidemiological inputs and principles. A major risk to the regional program is the emergence of new strains of FMD including the Pan-Asia topotype serotype O,the serotype type A and the serotype Asia 1 that was confirmed in China at the beginning of 2009.
Due to the rapid development of China, the price of meat and its demand have grown quickly over the past ten years. This trend has resulted in an increase in the number of livestock moving from south-eastern Asian countries to China. Although Chinese law and the import-export policy prohibit these movements, these informal movements pose a high risk of introducing new serotypes to China and spreading the disease to FMD free areas in China.
Prior to the study reported here,there was little information written in English concerning the development of veterinary science in China and the history of FMD outbreaks in the country. This study collected and analysed existing historical records of FMD in China, and hypothesised on the potential source of the disease for China. Subsequently, the study collected and analysed existing data on FMD from countries in the Upper Mekong Region to understand the disease 19s epidemiological pattern. Epidemiological tools, such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS),risk assessment and epidemiological modelling, were used to study the epidemiology and the patterns of FMD spread into Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces in China.
This epidemiological study was the first study to evaluate the risk posed by informal animal movements between countries in the Upper Mekong Region and China. It was designed to provide the epidemiological basis for progressing zone status for FMD in the Upper Mekong Region with particular emphasis on the Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces. A systematic analysis was undertaken to evaluate the compulsory vaccination policy in China. The opinions of Chinese veterinary workers were also collected to identify the current problems with the control of FMD in China.
Foot and Mouth Disease was probably introduced into China from Europe in the 19th century. However the research reported in this thesis found that the current highest risk to China was through the movement of animals along the Mekong River, compared to movement along alternative land routes. The two mostimportant factors influencing this risk were: the prevalence of FMD in the exporting country; and the control strategy adopted in China. The current control of FMD in China is based on compulsory vaccination of livestock and the prohibition of livestock movements between south-eastern countries and China. Although the vaccination program has been very successful in China, with more than 70% of animals protected, this strategy requires significant amounts of government financial support and could be more effective if targeted to areas of highest risk.The results of this research indicate that it is not feasible or possible to prevent all livestock movements into China from neighbouring countries. It is recommended that an intensive FMD vaccination program is developed and implemented in the GMS to reduce the number of susceptible animals in the region. It is also recommended that the movement of livestock/animal products between the Upper Mekong Region countries and China be legalised through the development of formal and appropriate import regulations. Adopting these practices and developing an active surveillance system should help reduce the spread of FMD within the Greater Mekong Sub-region.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The purpose of the study was to identify factors associated with the HIV transmission rate in 18 to 24 month-old children enrolled in the PMTCT programme at two selected City of Tshwane clinics. Mother-to-child transmission of HIV during labour and breastfeeding accounts for 40% of all HIV infection in children. The prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV programme is one effective strategy to reduce the rate of HIV infection in children. The HIV transmission rate was low at six weeks of age but increases at 18 to 24 months of age due to several factors.
The researcher selected a descriptive retrospective correlational research design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 60 mothers of children aged 18 to 24 months on the PMTCT programme and a data-collection form to collect data from 152 clinic records of children of the same age on the programme.
The study found that the PMTCT guidelines were not properly adhered to by the nurses and the respondents. Prophylactic treatment was not provided as required and mixed feeding was prominent. The uptake of HIV test at 18 to 24 months was low compared to at 6 weeks. The transmission rate was high at 18 to 24 months compared to at 6 weeks. No factors were associated with the transmission rateHealth Studies

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Enteroviruses (EVs) comprise a genus in the Picornaviridae family. They are single-stranded RNA viruses and are common causes of human infection. Polioviruses, the prototypic EVs, were historically responsible for widespread outbreaks of paralytic poliomyelitis; now they are on the verge of global elimination through vaccination. More than 100 serotypes of nonpoliovirus EVs are described and are associated with a wide variety of diseases, ranging from respiratory infections, nonspecific febrile illnesses, herpangina, and hand-foot-and-mouth disease to meningitis, encephalitis, paralytic disease, myocarditis, chronic or disseminated infection in immunocompromised hosts (particularly those with defects in the humoral immune response), and severe disease in neonates. This chapter reviews disease manifestations during pregnancy and in neonates, with an emphasis on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. The newly emerging parechoviruses, important causes of central nervous system (CNS) disease, are also reviewed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Pasteurellosis is a zoonosis that occurs worldwide, caused by bacteria of the genus Pasteurella, and other related organisms. Pasteurellosis reported in humans is most frequently caused by the species Pasteurella multocida. In humans, cutaneous infection is most common, but more severe outcomes have been reported, particularly in those with underlying chronic disease. Infection in animals is usually subclinical, but may give rise to a range of clinical symptoms, depending on the host species. Disease in animals usually occurs as a consequence of stress such as overcrowding, chilling, transportation, or as a result of a concurrent infection. In animals, pasteurellosis is known as: shipping fever or pneumonia, transport or transit fever, stockyard pneumonia, bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, haemorrhagic septicaemia, or avian, bird or fowl cholera. The pasteurella bacterium is commonly present in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract of a wide range of mammals. Transmission to humans occurs after bites, scratches, or licks from infected animals, most frequently from dogs or cats, although infection has been associated with other animals including: cows, pigs, hamsters and rabbits. However, not all patients report a history of direct animal contact. Infection may be prevented through the avoidance of animal bites and the prompt hygienic care of wounds. Health professionals should be aware of the risk of pasterurellosis in immunocompromised patients exposed to companion animals.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Acute heart failure is defined as the rapid development or change of symptoms and signs of heart failure that requires urgent medical attention and usually hospitalization. Acute heart failure is the first reason for hospital admission in individuals aged 65 or more and accounts for nearly 70% of the total health care expenditure for heart failure. It is characterized by an adverse prognosis, with an in-hospital mortality rate of 4-7%, a 2-3-month post-discharge mortality of 7-11%, and a 2-3-month readmission rate of 25-30%. The majority of patients have a previous history of heart failure and present with normal or increased blood pressure, while about half of them have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. A high prevalence of cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular comordid conditions is further observed, including coronary artery disease, arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, chronic lung disease, and anaemia. Different classification systems have been proposed for acute heart failure, reflecting the clinical heterogeneity of the syndrome; the categorization to acutely decompensated chronic heart failure vs de novo acute heart failure and to hypertensive, normotensive, and hypotensive acute heart failure are among the most widely used and clinically relevant classifications. The pathophysiology of acute heart failure involves several pathogenetic mechanisms, including volume overload, pressure overload, myocardial loss, and restrictive filling, while several cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular causes or precipitating factors lead to acute heart failure through a single of these mechanisms or a combination of them. Regardless of the underlying mechanism, peripheral and/or pulmonary congestion is the hallmark of acute heart failure, resulting from fluid retention and/or fluid redistribution. Myocardial injury and renal dysfunction are also involved in the precipitation and progression of the syndrome.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
It is known that hygiene is a determining factor for the health area, becoming an important marker of social inequality and its habit is responsible for the prevention of infectious diseases such as hand-foot-mouth disease, caused especially in children, but may also affect adults. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the relationship of hand hygiene against the contamination of hand-foot-mouth disease in children and the importance of raising public awareness to prevent its spread. The methodology was based on a Literature Review, where a bibliographic search was performed in the Google Scholar and SciELO databases, where the following descriptors were used: "hand-foot-mouth"; "spread of disease"; "personal hygiene", "child health" and "hand hygiene". In view of the selected descriptors, 30 studies were identified, which went through a screening process where 20 articles were selected, according to the eligibility criteria, for the accomplishment of the present study. It was observed that with prevention and control measures it can reduce the numbers of infected people, as well as prevent the disease from getting worse, so it is extremely relevant to discuss the subject, both by health professionals and academics as well as by the entire local community, in order to prevent this disease from causing greater damage to the individuals present.

Abstract Air containing oxygen passes through the mouth and nose into the windpipe (trachea). The windpipe then divides repeatedly into smaller branches of increasingly narrow size (bronchi and bronchioles) within the lungs. The smallest air passages (bronchioles) end as tiny air sacs (alveoli) where gas exchange takes place; oxygen passes from the air sacs into the blood and carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the air sacs.

Abstract There are a number of generic skills required of the graduate in the area of prevention and interception. Prevention of disease should form an integral part of any comprehensive treatment plan in clinical practice. A dentist has a fundamental role to play in the prevention of dental diseases and conditions including dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth surface loss as well as a contributory role in the prevention of oral cancer and other smoking and alcohol-related diseases. In addition, a dentist’s interceptive role is particularly important in the management of the developing dentition, especially with regard to space maintenance, and timely management of local irregularities, such as single tooth cross bites. The graduate should also recognize how an increased overjet increases risk of dental trauma and be proactive in its timely and appropriate management, through specialist referral where necessary. The dental graduate also has a contributory role in reducing the dental effects of trauma by being able to provide well-fitting mouth guards and instructing patients in their use for contact sports.

This chapter traces the first clear reference to rabies from writings by Aristotle in circa 380 bc, in which he described the symptoms and transmission of rabies in dogs. Louis Pasteur developed the first rabies vaccine in Paris by intracerebral inoculation in rabbits, which he used to protect dogs from the infection. It also cites countries where dogs are commonly infected with rabies virus, in which nearly 99% of transmission to humans occurs through dog bites. Rabies is caused by a number of different species of neurotropic viruses in the Rhabdoviridae family and is typically transmitted by saliva of the infected animal through a bite or scratch. Mucosal exposure to the rabies virus, such as to the eyes, nose, or mouth can also transmit the virus.

COVID-19 is an illness transmitted through saliva droplets released during coughing or sneezing, or by contact with surfaces carrying the virus. It transmits either through close contact with an individual carrying the infection or by encountering surfaces that are contaminated, followed by touching the eyes, nose, or mouth. Apart from respiratory issues, the virus can cause damage to various organs. Early signs encompass a cough, elevated body temperature, and respiratory challenges [2]. Originating in Wuhan, China, the disease has progressively spread globally, resulting in over 7.9 million cases worldwide. It has affected 188 countries, leading to more than 433,648 deaths worldwide.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Hand hygiene is one of the main measures concerning preventing the transmission of various diseases, among them, COVID-19 stands out here. It is known that its transmission occurs when there is contact of the virus with the mouth, nose, or eyes, through unwashed hands. It is noted, therefore, that keeping hands clean prevents infection and disease transmission. Considering this information, the present study discusses the impact of hand washing correlating with anxiety during the SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Of understanding the essential social links that will undoubtedly contribute not only to professionals in the field but also to academics, teachers, and the community in general. As for the methodological criteria, the research was developed by the exploratory method- descriptive, the choice of method was fundamental in terms of data collection, as well as in the treatment of the information obtained, that is, the analysis of the population, and the investigated criteria, a moment in which the research is directed to the examination of the data of analytical and descriptive way.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Syphilis results from infection with the spirochaete Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum, for which humans are the only known natural host. In adults it is transmitted primarily by sexual contact. The organism gains entry into the body through small breaks in the skin or the intact mucosal surfaces of the genitals, mouth, or anus, and is able to invade and survive in a wide variety of tissues. Since the availability of penicillin, syphilis has become primarily (>90%) a disease of less affluent countries or of minority subpopulations in more affluent countries with poor access to healthcare. It is also a disease of people with rapid rates of partner change (e.g. men who have sex with men and commercial sex workers).

The existing interest in the problem of toxoplasmosis is largely due to the fact that
Toxoplasma gondii plays a significant role in human pathology. Toxoplasmas enter
the human body in many ways: through the mouth when eating raw meat; with
contaminated products, vegetables or fruits; with dirty hands, after contact with
infected animals; through damaged skin, mucous membranes, when removing
skins from infected animals or dividing carcasses; in medical procedures in
patients with toxoplasmosis; and prenatally, from mother to fetus. Toxoplasmosis
is more common in children, while adults may remain asymptomatic carriers of the
pathogen. The reliability of invasion in humans is only established by the detection
of toxoplasma in the blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, puncture samples of lymph
nodes, remnants of fetal membranes, placenta, etc. Therefore, the purpose of our
study is to determine the occurrence of toxoplasmosis in the Krasnodar Territory
for 5 years (2018–2022) and to identify organ systems that are affected most often.
Toxoplasmosis is widespread in the Krasnodar Territory. This is due to climatic
and geographical features. The study used data from outpatient medical records of
people with diagnosed toxoplasmosis who seek medical advice in infectious diseases
hospitals of the Krasnodar Territory.

Raising horses has become increasingly important over the years, generating great income for breeders and contributing to the economy of the entire country. Dental care with these animals occurs less frequently than necessary, which causes weakness and loss of performance in them. Infundibular disease is a dental disorder, defined as a necrotizing bacteriosis characterized by destroying the inorganic material of the dental tissues, affecting mainly the premolar and molar teeth. This pathology may predispose to other alterations such as colic syndrome, gingivitis, difficulty in feeding, and consequent weight loss, besides resistance in the adaptation to mouth movements, which cause significant losses to the breeders. Its diagnosis is made through anamnesis, general and specific clinical examination of the oral cavity, and complementary exams, such as x-ray. This paper reports the case of a 13-year-old horse weighing about 400 kg of live weight, whose chosen treatment was the extraction of the affected tooth. The study aimed to review predisposing factors, diagnosis, the effects that this clinical change can cause on the animal’s organism, and infundibular disease treatment, describing the therapy used and its results.

Background: Telehealth is and alternative to improve functional mobility of elderly with dementia on a pandemic scenario, but still little explored on Brazil. Objective: To analyze the effects of a telehealth program on functional mobility among elderly with dementia. Methods: Ten elderly with dementia were evaluated about functional capacity through physical test Timed Up and Go. After, they were randomized and divided into two groups: telehealth group (TG) and control group (CG). The TG performed systematic physical and cognitive exercises with professional monitoring, while the CG received non-systematized guidance, both for 12 weeks. Participants were evaluated pre, immediately after three-month intervention and with a 12- week follow-up. Results: Of the 10 participants, 5 were allocated to each group. In the pre-intervention evaluation, the CG had a mean of 15.64 +/- 5.04 seconds in the TUG test and the TG had a mean of 19.78 +/- 6.51, that is, above 12.45 seconds means risk of falling. In the post-intervention, the CG had a mean of 16.83 +/- 6.77 and the TG a mean of 25.22 +/- 19.50. After 3 months of follow-up, the CG and the TG showed a mean of 16.08 +/- 2.04 and 17.98 +/- 6.73, respectively. Conclusion: After the intervention period, due to the small number of the sample, it was not possible to verify improvement in either group.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic brought us several behavioral changes, including social isolation, which impacted breast cancer screening around the world, including in Brazil. With a decrease in the number of exams performed, the risk of breast cancer detection in later stages increases, negatively impacting the prognosis of the disease. Objectives: To analyze and compare breast cancer stages in patients at a hospital in Mogi das Cruzes - SP before and during the pandemic. Methods: Retrospective, observational, and analytical study carried out through analysis of records of patients admitted to the outpatient clinic between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020. This service is reference for 11 municipalities covering an estimated population of more than three million inhabitants. For statistical analysis, and to allow cases referred in the pre-pandemic period to be considered as such, the pandemic period was determined to be from April 1, 2020 on. Results: A total of 331 breast cancer patients who started treatment between 2019 and 2020 were identified. 23.6% fewer cases were admitted during the pandemic, with 102 patients attended, an average of 11.3 patients/month, while before the pandemic the average was 15.3 patients/month. There was a statistically significant difference of four patients/month (p <0.001). The mean age of the patients also varied significantly, the patients being younger during the pandemic, with a difference of 3.5 years (57.8 vs 54.3; p=0.03). In order to analyze the effect of the pandemic in breast cancer stages, the number of cases was studied each month, and a significant drop was identified in the stages 0 and I (3.2 vs 0.7 cases/month; p <0.001). with no increase identified in the other stages. A multivariate analysis also identified a significant drop in diagnoses at early stages, even after considering confounding factors (age), with OR=0.29 (95%CI 0.11–0.63; p=0.004). No significant change was identified in cases of locally advanced or metastatic disease (stages III and IV), with an OR of 0.86 (95%CI 0.51–1.41; p=0.55). It is important to remember that these early-stage patients are often asymptomatic and diagnosed, mostly, through screening tests. Conclusions: The deficit in patients diagnosed at early stages was not accompanied by an increase in advanced stages. It is possible that there are still many women with undiagnosed breast cancer, but with the possibility of early identification.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Inhaled Pharmaceutical Aerosols (IPAs) delivery has great potential in treatment of a variety of respiratory diseases, including asthma, pulmonary diseases, and allergies. Aerosol delivery has many advantages. It delivers medication directly to where it is needed and it is effective in much lower doses than required for oral administration. Currently, there are several types of IPA delivery systems, including pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI), the dry powder inhaler (DPI), and the medical nebulizer. IPAs should be delivered deep into the respiratory system where the drug substance can be absorbed into blood through the capillaries via the alveoli. Researchers have proved that most aerosol particles with aerodynamic diameter of about 1–5 μm, if slowly and deeply inhaled, could be deposited in the peripheral regions that are rich in alveoli [1–3]. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of various inhaling rates with breath-holding pause on the aerosol deposition (Dp = 0.5–5 μm) in a human upper airway model extending from mouth to 3rd generation of trachea. The oral airway model is three dimensional and non-planar configurations. The dimensions of the model are adapted from a human cast. The air flow is assumed to be unsteady, laminar, and incompressible. The investigation is carried out by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using the software Fluent 6.2. The user-defined function (UDF) is employed to simulate the cyclic inspiratory flows for different IPA inhalation patterns. When an aerosol particle enters the mouth respiratory tract, its particles experience abrupt changes in direction. The secondary flow changes its direction as the airflow passes curvature. Intensity of the secondary flow is strong after first bend at pharynx and becomes weaker after larynx. In flow separation, a particle can be trapped and follow the eddy and deposit on the surface. Particle deposition fraction generally increases as particle size and inhaling airflow velocity increase.

Non-pharmacological interventions, like tablet-based cognitive trainings, already present an important alternative treatment of dementia. For tablet-based cognitive trainings to be effective, regular practice seems to be required, highlighting the need for such trainings to be applicable not only in well-prepared laboratory settings, but also for continuous use at home. In order to raise the acceptance as well as the user-friendliness of such trainings to consequently increase training intensity, usability research is essential. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the experiences of people with Alzheimer’s disease (PwAD), relatives, and dementia trainers regarding the usability of a tablet-based dementia training practiced in the home setting.A qualitative study was performed within the ongoing randomized controlled trial of the project multimodAAL. In total 15 individual interviews (each 5 per target group) were conducted with people with mild AD, their relatives and dementia trainers, who were already assigned to the intervention group for at least 6 months, practicing a dementia training program, including physical and cognitive exercises on a tablet-PC at home. The interviews lasted 91.9 minutes on average. A qualitative content analysis was performed to analyze the data.Participants were predominantly female (73.3 %). PwAD and relatives stated that they had no previous experience with this type of computer-based cognitive training and had experienced the training as positive and enriching. Some relatives saw the joint performance as a meaningful activity with their loved ones. Participants confirmed that the different types of physical exercises (e.g., coordination, strength), presented in a video format were well feasible for PwAD. In this regard, some PwAD reported feeling a bit unchallenged. Relatives and dementia trainers recommended for the exercise videos to be more motivating and fun (e.g., direct motivational address by the gymnast in the video like in a tv show, colorful sportswear). Regarding cognitive exercises, participants appreciated the variety (e.g., quiz, puzzle, calculating) as well as the sequence of the different exercises within a training session. Dementia trainers and relatives perceived that exercises related to topics about past/biography (e.g., previous occupation, hobbies) and to religious/seasonal traditions (e.g., Christmas) were particularly appreciated among PwAD. In view of beneficial factors to complete a training session with its physical and cognitive exercises successfully, relatives and dementia trainers underlined that PwAD needed support in terms of (technical) guidance, motivation/feedback/praise, as well as hints/tips/thought-provoking impulses. Dementia trainers and relatives suggested that this could be achieved by a supporting person (e.g., dementia trainer) or an expansion of the program by written and verbal support (e.g., hint button, voice assistant). Furthermore, participants emphasized the need of a tablet pen for comfortable handling, as well as a high sensitivity of the tablet-PC's touch screen.The results show that the already applied tablet-based dementia training is well received and accepted by participants. However, there is still potential for enhancement regarding motivational and feedback strategies as well as user-friendliness by the addition of a comprehensive application for guiding through the physical and cognitive exercises to enable more independent practice sessions.

"Optical neurorretinitis by Bartonella Henselae - case report". In XIII Congresso Paulista de Neurologia. Zeppelini Editorial e Comunicação, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5327/1516-3180.535.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Introduction: Cat scratch disease is an infection caused by Bartonella henselae, usually transmitted to humans through cat scratch or bite. The most common clinical manifestation is lymphadenitis, but 5 to 10% of patients with cat scratch disease may have ocular involvement. Objectives and methodology: This work aims to report a case of Neuroretinitis optica by Bartonella Henselae. Data were collected through analysis of medical records with the patient’s consent. Results / Case report: Female, 22 years old, born in Joinville, presented, acutely, decreased visual acuity in RE, without pain on eye movement. She reported flu with fever in the previous month and denied recent vaccination. Visual acuity was 20/40 in RE and the fundus revealed papilla edema, hemorrhage and uveitis (+ / 4 +). In laboratory tests there were no changes. Serology for toxoplasmosis revealed a slight increase in IgM and the other serologies were negative. Sulfamethoxazole 800 mg / trimethoprim 160 mg started 12/12 hs and prednisone 80 mg / day, without improvement. Evolved with worsening and visual acuity (20/100) in OD. Retinography showed vascular narrowing, papillary blurring, decreased foveal brightness and macular edema, configuring optic neuritis D, with no changes in the LE. The neurological evaluation did not find any findings other than visual changes. The CSF study, cranial and orbit MRs were normal. At that time, the patient reported having had contact with a dead kitten. Serology was positive for Bartonella (IgM 1/100). Doxycycline 100mg started at 12 / 12h. After 15 days, a stellate macula and a slight improvement in papilla edema were observed. The patient evolved with full recovery. Conclusion: B.henselae is the main etiological agent of DAG. Kittens are the main reservoirs of B.henselae. Contact with mucous membranes or conjunctivae may be involved. Cat scratch disease (GAD) has two clinical presentations. Typical GAD is characterized by subacute regional lymphadenopathy; atypical GAD is the designation for numerous manifestations involving several organs, and occurs in 10- 15% of cases, being responsible for Parinaud’s oculoglandular syndrome.

Rapid bone loss during spaceflight is a well-established and continuing medical issue for astronauts. It has been reported that astronauts have displayed bone loss at rates of up to 2.7%/month in weight-bearing bones, or about 6 times that of post-menopausal women [1]. Rodent models have provided a means to further our understanding of the effects of microgravity on bone quality, both from studies in which rodents have flown aboard space missions and those in which weightlessness is simulated on earth through musculoskeletal unloading [2]. Such studies have the potential to not only further our understanding of the cause of decreased bone integrity in space, but also provide an accelerated model for the study of osteo-degenerative diseases affecting the general public, leading to improved treatment methods for both spaceflight and age or illness related osteoporosis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In order to create a less thrombogenic heart valve with improved longevity, a prosthetic heart valve was developed using thin film nitinol (NiTi). A “butterfly” thin film NiTi valve was constructed using a single, elliptical piece of thin film NiTi and a scaffold made from Teflon tubing and NiTi wire. Flow tests and pressure readings across the valve were performed in vitro in a pulsatile flow loop. Biocorrosion experiments were conducted on untreated and passivated thin film nitinol. To determine the material’s in vivo biocompatibility, thin film nitinol was implanted in a pig using a stent covered with thin film NiTi. Flow rates and pressure tracings across the valve were comparable to those through a commercially available 19 mm Perimount Edwards tissue valve. No signs of corrosion were present on samples of thin film nitinol after immersion in Hank’s solution for 1 month. Finally, organs and tissue samples explanted from the pig 17 days after thin film NiTi implantation appeared without disease, and the thin film nitinol itself was without thrombus formation or endothelialization. Although long term testing will be needed, thin film NiTi may be very well suited for use in artificial heart valves.
