Objective: To carry out a literature review on the influence of oral health status on the physical fitness of individuals over 40 years old and to discuss its importance for good sports development. Methods: A literature review was carried out in the Medline database via Pubmed, considering the articles published from the year 2000 onward. The search was carried out using combinations of terms in English: tooth loss, oral health, fitness physics, master athlete, elderly, athlete. Articles that did not address the proposed theme, that evaluating other populations or dependent elderly people, institutionalized or bedridden, that had no relationship with aspects between oral health and physical fitness, review studies and case reports were excluded. At the end, 20 studies were selected. Results: It was possible to observe an interesting association between different oral health conditions and characteristics of physical fitness, in subjects over 40 years old. The variables corresponding to oral health included tooth loss, occlusal aspects, prosthetic rehabilitation and oral infectious and inflammatory diseases. The analyzed variables associated with physical fitness included the strength and power of lower limbs, static balance, walking speed and handgrip strength. Conclusion: The impact of oral health can have a negative influence in the physical fitness, especially on athletes of the master categories, as they are subjected to a situation conditioned by the effects of aging. Oral health care strategies are important tools to assist in maintaining sports performance.Keywords: physical functional performance, preventive dentistry, physical education and training.

Abstract: Oral health is an integral part of an individual’s general health, interfering with all dimensions of life: functional, aesthetic, psychological, social, physical, nutritional, and even psychosocial. Hence oral health is directly related to quality of life. Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent oral diseases and one of the major causes of tooth loss, impacting negatively on self-reported individuals’ quality of life. Periodontal maintenance therapy aims to effectively minimize the recurrence of periodontal disease, as well as the incidence of tooth loss. In periodontal literature, studies associated with quality of life indicators, presented in the form of questionnaires aimed at measuring the impact of periodontitis and tooth loss on self-reported individual’s quality of life, highlight the "Oral Impacts on Daily Performance" (OIDP) and "Oral Health Impact Profile" (OHIP). As such, this study presents a critical review of the literature and describes the impact of periodontal disease and tooth loss on the quality of life of patients undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy.

SUMMARYTensor fasciae suralis (TFS) is an accessory muscle of the posterior lower extremity. Although TFS has been documented in cadaveric and radiological reports, its prevalence remains unknown. The TFS variant is noteworthy to anatomists, as it may be encountered in the dissection laboratory, and clinicians, as the muscle could potentially cause confusion during physical examination or diagnostic imaging. Multiple variations of TFS have been reported in the literature, suggesting the need for a classification system. We dissected 236 formalin-fixed cadaveric lower limbs to determine the prevalence of TFS. The PubMed and MEDLINE databases were searched to compare the anatomical features of independent TFS case reports. In our prevalence study, the TFS muscle was identified in three lower limbs (1.3%). In total, 35 cases of TFS (31 cadaveric and four radiological) were identified in the literature. Our literature review revealed that the accessory muscle most often arises as a single head from the long head of the biceps femoris, yet many other presentations have been documented. The need for a classification system to distinguish between the subtypes of TFS became apparent during the literature review. Tensor fasciae suralis is a rare muscle, present in only 3 of 236 (1.3%) cadaveric lower limbs dissected in this study. We propose the use of a classification system, based on muscle origin and number of heads, to better organize the subtypes of TFS.

AbstractThe peripheral arterial obstructive disease (PAOD) is a chronic illnes that has as main symptom intermittent claudication and causes a progressive functional impairment of the patient. The literature is still inconclusive when it addresses the relationship among functional capacity, endurance, muscle contraction speed, and degree of blood flow impairment in patients with PAOD. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical fitness individuals with bilateral PAOD, claudication and ankle-brachial index between 0.8 and 0.9, to verify the impact of the disease in this outcome and to analyze the association among the tests. Forty individuals, with mean age 56 years were divided in: group PAOD (n=20) and control group (n=20) were subjected to the following tests: Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST), Heel-rise test (HRT), test of gait speed usual (UV) and maximum (MV), shuttle walking test (SWT). There was a significant difference among the variables obtained through HRT, UV, MV and SWT, showing a worse performance of the group with PAOD compared to the control. The FTSST test showed no differences among the groups. Analyzing the whole sample, the presence of PAOD is an indicator of poor performance in TDBP. This study suggests that people with mild PAOD present reduced performance in functional endurance tests of the lower limbs and that there is a direct relationship between walking speed and patency of local arterial flow, demonstrating in an unprecedented way the need for evaluation of this public, considering the possibility of initial identification of the symptoms and giving greater efficiency in the therapeutic planning of maintenance of the functionality.Keywords: Physical Fitness. Intermittent Claudication.

A literatura ainda é inconclusiva quando aborda a relação entre a capacidade funcional, endurance, velocidade de contração muscular e grau de comprometimento de fluxo sanguíneo em pacientes com DAOP. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a aptidão física de indivíduos com DAOP bilateral, claudicantes e Índice tornozelo-braço entre 0,8 e 0,9, verificar o impacto da doença neste desfecho e analisar a associação entre os testes. Quarenta indivíduos, com faixa etária média de 56 anos, divididos em grupo DAOP (n=20) e grupo controle (n=20), foram submetidos aos testes: Teste senta-levanta (TSL), teste ponta de pé (TPP), testes de velocidade usual (VU) e máxima (VM), teste de deslocamento bidirecional progressivo (TDBP). Houve diferença significativa entre as variáveis do TPP, VU, VM e TDBP, mostrando pior performance do grupo com DAOP comparado ao controle. O teste TSL não apresentou diferença entre os grupos. Analisando os grupos em conjunto a presença de DAOP foi indicadora de pior desempenho no TDBP. Este estudo sugere que pacientes com DAOP leve apresentam redução da performance nos testes funcionais de endurance dos membros inferiores e que existe uma relação direta entre a velocidade da marcha e a patência do fluxo arterial local, demonstrando de forma inédita, a necessidade de avaliação deste público, considerando a possibilidade de identificação inicial dos sintomas e conferindo maior eficiência no planejamento terapêutico de manutenção da funcionalidade.Palavras-chave: Aptidão Física.

AbstractIntroductionThe prognosis of preterms and ill newborns has improved substantially during the last decades. Besides conventional methods, additional interventions play an important role in this development. Managing parents' needs under the circumstances of intensive care can be a crucial aspect of dealing with this difficult situation. But data on this group has not been systematically evaluated so far.MethodWe performed a systematic literature review following the PRISMA criteria. Keywords were neonates, neonatology, newborn, preterm, parents, and spirituality. All study types in English and German were included.ResultsAfter evaluating the abstracts of the initial search results, we considered 33 studies eligible for analysis. Study types are surveys, interviews (qualitative studies), case reports, and reviews. Topics were parents, ethnical differences, medical staff, and palliative care.DiscussionThere is a variety of studies on spirituality in neonatology with a broad spectrum of study types. A meta-analysis is difficult, especially because of the heterogeneity of the study designs, patient numbers and questionnaires used. Although the studies are promising, short-term and long-term outcomes have not been evaluated yet. Interesting endpoints such as the influence on mortality, morbidity and duration of hospital stay cannot be stated. Thus it is too early to derive practical recommendations for the medical staff from these studies.ConclusionAlthough there is a body of data on spirituality in neonatology that addresses several important aspects, even more studies on the impact of parents' needs and the consequences for the medical staff are required.

The Impact

Trauma is a public health problem, with a high morbidity and mortality profile that generates high costs for health systems all over the world. Several factors can trigger the different types of trauma, which may require specific treatments, often even surgical procedures, and may also cause incapacity for work. In light of this, this research was intended to evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients with traumas in different regions of the world. To this end, a systematic literature review was performed by searching the Scielo database, using the descriptors “trauma” and “epidemiology”, finding a total of 270 articles. Subsequently, filters were applied, which allowed 92 scientific articles to be obtained. The titles and abstracts of these articles were analyzed; and, from that, 15 articles were selected, which were read in full and then discussed. The literature analysis allowed us to characterize the epidemiological profile of traumas in Brazil and in other countries around the world, detecting that most trauma affects men at a young age, which can affect the labor system; that the low level of education can influence the trauma profile; and that factors such as car and motorcycle accidents, falls and physical aggressions are the main etiological factors of cranioencephalic, maxillofacial, thoracic, upper limbs and lower limbs traumas, among others. Thus, there is a need to formulate better preventive measures and pre- and in-hospital treatments, aiming at reducing the impact on trauma morbidity and mortality.

Kimura’s disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory or allergic disease. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign vascular neoplasm. Their relationship has always been debated. This article reports two rare cases, one of each disease. One patient was a 48-year-old female that presented with a mass on her right mandible. She also had oedema erythema and wheals on her lower limbs. She was diagnosed with Kimura’s disease complicated with chronic urticaria. The second patient was a 23-year-old female that presented with multiple nodules of unequal size on the scalp. She was diagnosed with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. The first patient recovered after being treated with surgical resection, glucocorticosteroids, cyclophosphamide and radiotherapy. The second patient underwent the first stage of surgical excision and is currently being followed-up. Comparison of the clinical and histopathological features of these two cases supports the theory that KD and ALHE are two separate disease entities.

The Impact

Recent associations between oral health and systemic disease have led to renewed interest in the mouth and its contribution to health outcomes. Many pathways for this relationship have been postulated, among them the potential mediating role of nutrition. The link between various nutrients and systemic disease has been established, but relatively little work has been done in relating oral conditions with nutrition. We searched MEDLINE, from 1966 to July, 2001, to identify articles relating specific oral measures to nutrition outcomes. We included original articles written in English with a sample size greater than 30 that used objective oral health measures. We reviewed a total of 56 articles. Only a small proportion of these studies were methodologically sound. Although many studies were small and cross-sectional, the literature suggests that tooth loss affects dietary quality and nutrient intake in a manner that may increase the risk for several systemic diseases. The impact of tooth loss on diet may be only partially compensated for by prostheses. To date, there is little information relating periodontal disease and oral pain and nutrition. A few studies suggest poorer nutrition among individuals with xerostomia and altered taste. Further, impaired dentition may contribute to weight change, depending on age and other population characteristics. There is a paucity of well-designed studies addressing oral health and nutrition. Before we can acquire a better understanding of how nutrition and oral health interrelate, however, more studies will be required to confirm these associations—preferably longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes and better control of important confounders.
