A bichectomia é um procedimento cirúrgico em que remove-se a parte correspondente ao coxim adiposo do Bichat, com finalidades estética e funcional. Tal procedimento está cada vez mais popular na Odontologia. Objetivo: Apresentar uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre complicações associadas às cirurgias de bichectomia. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca de publicações sem restrição em relação ao ano de publicação em que foram realizados, incluído artigos científicos, relatos de caso clínicos, revisões de literatura, estudos descritivos e observacionais e excluindo cartas ao editor, editorias, teses e manografias  a partir dos descritores em saúde (DeCS) “anatomia” (anatomy), “bichectomia” (bichectomy), “odontologia” (dentistry). Usando as bases de dados Lilacs, SciELO e Pubmed. Conclusão: Bichectomia é um procedimento estético-funcional, que apresenta riscos de complicações potencialmente graves, destacando-se lesão do ducto de Stenon ou do ramo bucal do nervo facial, que provocam, respectivamente, sialocele, fístulas salivares e paralisia bucal temporária ou definitiva, além de hematomas, assimetria facial e infecções pós-operatórias.---Bichectomy is a surgical procedure in which the part corresponding to the fat pad of Bichat is removed, with aesthetic and functional purposes. Such procedure is increasingly popular in dentistry. Objective: To present a narrative review of the literature on complications associated with bichectomy surgery. Materials and Methods: A search for publications was performed without restriction regarding the year of publication, including scientific articles, clinical case reports, literature reviews, descriptive and observational studies and excluding letters to the editor, editorials, theses and manographies from the health descriptors (DeCS) “anatomy” (anatomy), “bichectomy” (bichectomy), “dentistry” (dentistry). Using Lilacs, SciELO and Pubmed databases. Conclusion: Bichectomy is an aesthetic-functional procedure that presents risks of potentially serious complications, especially  damage to the Stenon's   duct  or  the  buccal branch of the facial nerve, which   cause, respectively, sialocele, salivary fistulas and temporary or permanent buccal paralysis, in addition to bruises, facial asymmetry and postoperative infections.

Carcinosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, melanoma and carcinoid as primary tumors in the ovary are extremely rare. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature from 2010 to 2021, based on specific criteria, to analyze the treatment of these rare ovarian neoplasms. We also aimed to verify whether modern therapies have been found in recent years. For this article, 80 papers were finally selected. The vast majority of the articles were clinical case reports. Despite single mentions of new potential pharmacological treatments, surgery (radical or fertility-sparing) is definitely the mainstay of treatment. There are currently no treatment guidelines for these tumors. A review of the literature has revealed the use of various adjuvant treatments. We, therefore, believe that a more detailed understanding of the biology of these tumors is necessary in order to find new target points for treatment. We would like to emphasize the importance of creating an international database of rare ovarian tumors which would make it possible to gather data from various oncological centers and enable further research into these neoplasms.

Mixed Dentition Analysis

INTRODUCTION: Moyers analysis is widely used for analyzing mixed dentition, however, the accuracy of its theoretical probability tables has been recently questioned. Taking into consideration the fact the mixed dentition analysis is of paramount importance to precisely determine the space needed for alignment of canines and premolars, this research aimed at objectively assessing in the literature such an important step for orthodontic diagnosis. METHODS: A computerized search involving articles published on PubMed and Lilacs between 1990 and September, 2011 was conducted in accordance with the method described in the Cochrane 5.1.0 handbook. RESULTS: The research resulted in a sample composed of 629 articles. The inclusion criteria were: Articles using the Moyers analysis with a sample greater or equal to 40 patients. Conversely, the exclusion criteria were: Dental casts of patients with syndromes or oral cleft, researches conducted with a literature review, only, or clinical case reports and researches conducted before 1990. For this systematic review, 19 articles were selected. CONCLUSION: Based on the literature available, we can conclude that the Moyers mixed dentition analysis must be carefully used, since the majority of the articles analyzed showed that the probability of 75% was not as accurate as expected, leading to the need of adapting the probability levels depending on the study population.

Writing Analysis

This teaching note describes how using the requirement of a literature review helped students become critical thinkers. Literature reviews, as assignments, are often difficult for students because of the need for intense writing, analysis, and evaluation. As part of a larger assignment, students read 7 to 10 research articles and discussed them in class. The students were then assigned the task of writing their own literature reviews using the same research articles. The authors explain how using the practice of critical reading and critical writing helped students engage their review of the literature with a critical thinking mindset.

Background: Spindle cell lipomas (SCLs) are benign tumors that are characteristically present on the upper back and neck, but in rare cases present throughout the respiratory mucosa, causing hoarseness, stridor, dyspnea, and obstruction. Objective: To highlight the importance of considering SCL in the diagnosis of benign respiratory tract tumors, a literature review identified all published cases of respiratory tract SCLs, including 2 from our institution: one case in the nasopharynx and 1 in the nasal valve. Methods: All case reports, series and literature reviews from the English literature from 1975 through March 2018 were systematically identified for review in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus databases. Two additional cases from our institution were described. Results: In total, 24 cases of SCL in the respiratory tract were identified for review. Two cases from our institution are described here, bringing the total of reported cases to 26. Extensive analyses of oral cavity SCLs already exist, so we excluded this site from our review and focused on sites where SCLs may present with respiratory symptoms. Excluding the oral cavity and oropharynx, the most common location described is the larynx. All 26 cases were treated with excision. One tumor required a second surgery, but there were no other complications nor recurrences. Conclusion: Although rare, SCLs may arise from throughout the respiratory tract and cause dyspnea, hoarseness and stridor. Spindle cell lipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a respiratory tract mass. This diagnosis confers a good prognosis and patients may be reassured that surgery is almost always curative.

Recurrent Epistaxis

Abstract Background Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a dominantly inherited genetic vascular disorder that has prevalence of 1:5000 to 1:8000, and which is characterised by recurrent epistaxis, cutaneous telangiectasia, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) that affect many organs including the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and central nervous system. The aim here was to carry out a review of the literature on HHT complications during pregnancy in order to guide management decisions. Main body A literature review was carried out to analyse all publications on complications that occurred during pregnancy in women with HHT. The PubMed/Medline and Scopus databases were searched. The complications observed in HHT women during pregnancy were then described. The authors identified 5 case series and 31 case reports that describe the evolution of 1577 pregnancies in 630 women with HHT. The overall maternal death rate described in the case series was estimated at 1.0% of pregnancies in the case series and 2 maternal deaths occurred in 31 pregnancy case reports. Severe maternal complications occurred in 2.7 to 6.8% of pregnancies in the case series. Severe complications occurred mostly in the second and third trimester in non-diagnosed and non-screened HHT patients. Severe complications were related to visceral involvement. The most frequent complications were related to pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) (haemothorax (n = 10), haemoptysis (n = 4), and severe hypoxaemia (n = 3)). Neurological complications were related to PAVMs in one case (right to left shunt) and to cerebral arteriovenous malformations (CAVM) and intracranial haemorrhage in 2 cases. Complications were related to hepatic arteriovenous malformations (HAVMs) in 8 cases (acutely decompensated heart failure due to hepatic involvement (n = 1), dyspnoea related to heart failure (n = 5), and hepatobiliary necrosis (n = 2)). Conclusion Based on the literature review, most pregnancies in HHT women occur normally. However, these pregnancies should be considered high-risk, given the potential life-threatening events related to AVM rupture. Furthermore, there is currently no international consensus regarding the medical follow-up of pregnancy in women with HHT and the aim here was to carry out a review of the literature in order to guide screening and management decisions for this rare disease.

Venomous Fish

Stonefish are regarded as one of the most venomous fish in the world. Research on stonefish venom has chiefly focused on the in vitro and in vivo neurological, cardiovascular, cytotoxic and nociceptive effects of the venom. The last literature review on stonefish venom was published over a decade ago, and much has changed in the field since. In this review, we have generated a global map of the current distribution of all stonefish (Synanceia) species, presented a table of clinical case reports and provided up-to-date information about the development of polyspecific stonefish antivenom. We have also presented an overview of recent advancements in the biomolecular composition of stonefish venom, including the analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic data from Synanceia horrida venom gland. Moreover, this review highlights the need for further research on the composition and properties of stonefish venom, which may reveal novel molecules for drug discovery, development or other novel physiological uses.
