Relevance. The relevance of the literature review presented by the authors is due to the diversity and complexity of the differential diagnosis of tumors of the orofacial zone in children and adolescents. Against the background of the absolute predominance of benign neoplasms, about 10-20% falls on the share of malignant neoplasms in this area. In this regard, polyclinic specialists often do not show sufficient oncological alertness, which leads to an unjustified lengthening of the diagnostic period and late diagnosis of malignant neoplasms.The purpose of the literature review is to discuss the results of studies on the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of the tumor process in the orofacial zone in children and adolescents.Materials and methods. The searching of publications on the subject of the review were performed in the databases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, https://elibrary.ru/cit_title_items.asp, https://www.researchgate.net/, https://elibrary.ru/. The authors describe the clinical manifestations of tumors depending on the location of the lesion and histological affiliation. The initial symptoms of both malignant and benign neoplasms are often nonspecific. Prevailing benign neoplasms can only be treated by surgery. Much less often in children and adolescents, malignant neoplasms are also found: squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, Langerhans cell histiocytosis and others, which are treated in accordance with the principles of complex / combined anticancer therapy, including courses to minimize the amount of rehabilitation. Results. Timely diagnosis and prevention of the development of neoplasms in the orofacial area can reduce the severity of morphological and functional disorders in children and adolescents. Despite the use of effective methods of surgical or combination therapy, many need rehabilitation measures.Conclusions. The optimal position of a pediatrician, therapist, dentist, or surgeon at the stage of tumor diagnosis should be the implementation of oncological alertness, which implies an active approach without long-term "dynamic observation" of patients. Oncological alertness, especially among dentists, will improve the results of antitumor therapy in patients with Orofacial tumors.

Abstract Precisely when the success of artificial intelligence (AI) sub-symbolic techniques makes them be identified with the whole AI by many non-computer-scientists and non-technical media, symbolic approaches are getting more and more attention as those that could make AI amenable to human understanding. Given the recurring cycles in the AI history, we expect that a revamp of technologies often tagged as “classical AI”—in particular, logic-based ones—will take place in the next few years. On the other hand, agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) have been at the core of the design of intelligent systems since their very beginning, and their long-term connection with logic-based technologies, which characterised their early days, might open new ways to engineer explainable intelligent systems. This is why understanding the current status of logic-based technologies for MAS is nowadays of paramount importance. Accordingly, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive view of those technologies by making them the subject of a systematic literature review (SLR). The resulting technologies are discussed and evaluated from two different perspectives: the MAS and the logic-based ones.

The Impact

The emergence of a new Coronavirus Disease 2019-2022 has turned the globe down and disrupted main determinants of health. The world constitutes by more than 2.2 billion children, which is approximately 28% of the world's population. Compare to adult, this pandemic has a long -term adverse consequences among children and adolescents. The objective of this literature review was to examine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescent’s mental health. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched from 07 April 2021 to 22 April 2021. A systematic literature search was performed in accordance with PRISMA and 07 literatures were selected. Among 16,169 samples, the mean percentage of male was higher 5 by 6.11% than female of 43.89%. Depression was mentioned in three studies and the percentages were 43.7% (n=8079), 22.6% (n=2330), and 22.8% (n=3613). Anxiety was mentioned in four studies and the percentages were 37.4% (n=8079), 18.9% (n=2330), and 23.87 ± 15.79 and 29.27 ± 19.79 (n=3613) and in one study according to CAQ and NRS, the level of anxiety was 19.4% and 21.8%. The combination of anxiety and depression was 31.3%. One study mentioned that pro social behaviour score was higher in females than males. In other two studies, various psychological symptoms are mentioned such as worry, fear, helplessness, boredom, difficulty in concentration, irritability, restlessness, nervousness, feeling of loneliness and uneasiness.

PST is a public educational sport policy of the Brazilian Federal Government for the promotion of educational sports by the Ministry of Sport (2003-2018) with the support of the Collaborating Teams. The purpose of this article is to describe who these teams were, how educational sport was thought of by them, and how these Collaborating Teams approached teachers of Physical Education who worked in educational sport centers (Core Coordinators). For description and analysis, we used the literature review with the subject of professional training, educational sport and Programa Segundo Tempo [Second Time Program] and we count on documental analysis by Bardin (2011). We have conclude that the Collaborating Teams show the possibility of intervening in the training of Core Coordinators throughout the country, and for that, these Teams were formed by trainers (university professors) who worked in the search for dialogue with the Coordinators of Sports Core. This dialogue has the potential to reinvent sport, from a traditional sport to an educational sport aiming to ensure the rights of children and adolescents to access sport and leisure in Brazil.

Paroxysmal Disorders

Consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adolescents pose a major medical and social problem, as TBI interferes with neuro ontogenesis. Among these consequences, paroxysmal disorders that manifest in the long-term after TBI represent an important issue. These disorders include posttraumatic headaches, posttraumatic epilepsy and subclinical epileptiform EEG activity. In this review, clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and management of the long-term post-TBI paroxysmal disorders in children and adolescents are discussed.

Intracranial Epidermoid

ABSTRACT Thirty-three cases of intracranial epidermoid tumors treated during the past 25 years were analyzed with regard to clinical manifestations, recurrence rates related to the extent of surgery, and long-term survival rates. Epidermoid tumors caused various symptoms, especially in the cerebellopontine angle (15 cases), of which a transient remission of symptoms was observed in 4 cases (23.5%). The average time from initial symptoms to surgery was much shorter in suprasellar region and third ventricular locations (average of 11 months) than in other locations (average of 7 years). In 28 patients (84.9%), the tumor was removed totally or subtotally. Most of the patients could lead an independent and useful life after operation (93.1%). Among the 29 patients in a long-term follow-up survey, seven tumors recurred after an average interval of 8 years and 10 months (from the first to second operation) and 12 years and 6 months (from the second to third operation). Patients with recurrent tumors were successfully treated, and excellent functional prognosis was observed even after the second or third operation. The 20-year survival rate was 92.8% (Kaplan-Meier method).

The article provides a literature review on contemporary aspects of etiopathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is one of the most socially significant problems of modern neurology. MS has been proven to be a multifactorial disease, which develops as a result of both internal and external factors. In the early stages of this disease there is damage to the axons, therefore MS is not only considered an autoimmune demyelinating disease, but also neurodegenerative. The disease is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations. The variety of neurological symptoms is due to a multiplicity of foci of demyelination and their localization in brain and spinal cord. Neuroimaging methods play an important role in the modern diagnosis of MS. Management of patients with a diagnosis of MS involves compulsory and long-term basic therapy with immunomodulatory drugs that change the course of multiple sclerosis.

Background: Research shows that there is a high prevalence of suicide among nurses. Despite this, it has been 15 years since the last literature review on the subject was published. Aim: The aim of this article is to review the knowledge currently available on the risk of suicide among nurses and on contributory risk factors. Method: A search was conducted in electronic databases using keywords related to prevalence and risk factors of suicide among nurses. The abstracts were analyzed by reviewers according to selection criteria. Selected articles were submitted to a full-text review and their key elements were summarized. Results: Only nine articles were eligible for inclusion in this review. The results of this literature review highlight both the troubling high prevalence of suicide among nurses as well as the persistent lack of studies that examine this issue. Conclusion: Considering that the effects of several factors related to nurses' work and work settings are associated with high stress, distress, or psychiatric problems, we highlight the relevance of investigating work-related factors associated with nurses' risk of suicide. Several avenues for future studies are discussed as well as possible research methods.
