- Coronavirus survival time on inanimate surfaces: a systematic reviewPublication . Schroder, Angela Graciela Deliga; Stechman-Neto, José; Basso, Isabela; Gonçalves, Flávio Magno; Cavalcante-Leão, Bianca; Ravazzi, Gloria; Zeigelboim, Bianca Simone; Povh, Bruna; Guariza Filho, Odilon; Sampaio Santos, Rosane; Araujo, CristianoThis systematic review aimed to study the survival time of the virus from the coronavidae family on various materials and surfaces, thus enabling the adoption of preventive measures mainly in public environments. The electronic databases selected as a source of information were PubMed/Medline, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Web of Science, Scopus, and LIVIVO; grey literature (Google Scholar, ProQuest, and OpenGrey) was also examined. The last electronic search of the six databases retrieved 4287 references. After removing the duplicate references, the titles and abstracts (phase 1) were read, and 37 articles were selected for complete reading (phase 2), which resulted in 13 included studies. All the studies evaluated coronavirus survival on the following surfaces and objects: stainless steel, glass, plastic, wood, metal, cloth, paper, cotton, latex, polystyrene petri dish, aluminium, copper, cardboard, Teflon, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), silicone rubber and disposable fabric. On surfaces such as glass, plastic, and steel, the virus has greater stability than it does on copper, fabric, paper, and cardboard. The conditions of temperature, relative humidity, absorption power, and texture were also considered important factors in the survival of the virus.
- Efficacy of disinfecting inanimate surfaces against coronavirus: a systematic reviewPublication . Basso, Isabela; Schroder, Angela Graciela Deliga; Sampaio Santos, Rosane; Ravazzi, Gloria; Gonçalves, Flávio Magno; Stechman-Neto, José; Zeigelboim, Bianca Simone; Guariza Filho, Odilon; Araujo, CristianoHuman coronaviruses tend to persist on dry surfaces for 2 to 9 days, necessitating infection control and prevention protocols using biocidal agents. This systematic review aimed to answer the following focused question: What is the effectiveness of disinfectants on inanimate surfaces against the coronavirus? The acronym “PICOS” was used to represent the eligibility of studies: P = population (inanimate surfaces contaminated with coronavirus); I = intervention (disinfectants); C = comparison (studies with any type of control or studies that used a control group); O = outcomes (coronavirus inactivation on different types of inanimate surfaces); and S = study design (in vitro studies). The seven databases used were PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Web of Science, Scopus, LIVIVO, and Cochrane Library. The gray literature was also used as an information source through Google Scholar, ProQuest, and Open Gray. The search resulted in 6639 references, and 21 articles were used in the qualitative analysis. The results showed that all studied biocidal solutions provided some degree of decontamination and inactivation of the coronavirus, depending on the concentration of the disinfectant solution, the time of exposure of the product to the pathogen and the type of surface.
- Evaluation of swallowing pattern sound in patients with temporomandibular disorderPublication . Castilho, Katiane; Cavalcante-Leão, Bianca; Figueiredo, Ana Clara; Ravazzi, Gloria; Zeigelboim, Bianca; Hummig, Wagner; Santos, Rosane Sampaio; Neto, JoséObjectives: The impairment of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles has a negative impact on functions of the stomatognathic system, such as swallowing. Thus, an atypical swallowing pattern may contribute to the development of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The aim of the present study was to evaluate acoustic aspects of swallowing and determine the occurrence of atypical swallowing dynamics. Methods: Sixty-two individuals [16 males (25.8%) and 46 females (74.2%); mean age 39.84 (± 9.40); 47 with TMD and 15 without TMD] were evaluated using an ultrasound detector during the swallowing of three consistencies: liquid, pasty and solid. The acoustic signals were recorded and subsequently analyzed using the DeglutiSom® software. Results: The majority of the sample (81%) with TMD presented atypical swallowing biodynamics, with a significantly greater frequency of food residuals for the three consistencies. The signal suggestive of aspiration was more frequent with the liquid consistency (37% of the group). Conclusion: There is a relation between TMD and an atypical swallowing pattern, which underscores the need for the multidisciplinary evaluation of individuals with this disorder.
- Prevalence of orofacial pain in adults with cleft lip/palatePublication . Ravazzi, Gloria; Santos, Rosane Sampaio; Cavalcante-Leão, Bianca; Tonocchi, Rita de Cassia; Guariza-Filho, Odilon; Neto, JoséObjective: Functional disorders in individuals with cleft lip and palate (CL/P) can compromise structures of the stomatognathic system, which is one of the causes of orofacial pain in this group of patients. Numerous mechanisms of orofacial pain, particularly painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD-P), may be related to these conditions and have the potential to be the cause of diffuse. So, the objective of research wasdetermine the prevalence of orofacial pain using validated instruments on individuals with CL/P. Materials and Methods: a observational study was conducted with an intentional random sample of patients with CL/P (n = 80). Two questionnaires were administered: a screening scale for painful TMD (AAOP) and the Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS). Results: In the AAOP screening questionnaire, 75% of individuals with CL / P answered affirmatively to at least one question. The most significant questions were those related to noise (p = 0.007), mandibular movement (p = 0.032) and orofacial pain region (p = 0.044) demonstrated the importance of investigating TMD-P. Regarding the impact of chronic pain in relation to activities of daily living (GCPS), although no significant, it showed that for most individuals with CL / P, it has a low disability, regardless of its intensity (low / high), being more prevalent in older individuals (p = 0.013). Conclusions: the investigation of orofacial pain should be part of the routine at services that work with CL/P patients and should be counseled to seek help for such pain, which can affect their daily living.
