Bibliographic Search

Aim: The present study aimed to carry out a literature review about biocorrosion as an etiological factor of non-carious lesions and dentin hypersensitivity. Method: The bibliographic search was performed in the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (VHL)databases, selecting articles published from 2015 to 2020, available in full text, in Portuguese and English, and related to the proposed theme. Results: In the studies included, it was observed that substances with low pH, high titratable acidity, some lifestyles, and occupational habits are factors that can directly interfere with dental demineralization. As a consequence of this process, non-carious lesions and dental hypersensitivity have increased their incidence. Conclusion: The main sources of acids that attack dental structure are food and beverages and endogenous acids of gastric content. Thus, it must be considered themultifactorial character of this process and the association with other etiological factors, such as tension and friction in the development of non-carious lesions, aiming to restore oral health to the patient.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is more prevalent in children (10-20% of the world's population) than in adults. As its etiology is multifactorial, it is important to know the most frequent oral manifestations in atopic dermatitis patients. Methodology: In the last decades, the correlation between atopic dermatitis and conditions and/or changes in the oral cavity has been demonstrated by several studies. The objective of this paper was to describe, through a review of the literature, the oral health conditions and/or oral aspects identified in patients with atopic dermatitis. Search Strategy: A descriptive literature review was carried out through a bibliographical survey based on the last 10 years, in order to answer the study questions. Results: As a result, we found six studies with different sample sizes, ranging from 43 to 468 patients, and the majority of them were of cross-sectional study design. Discussion: Two studies performed their analysis through dental exams and reported that patients with atopic dermatitis tend to have a greater frequency of carious lesions, and two studies correlated Candida with atopic dermatitis through mycological analyzes. Conclusion: There are a few studies in the literature that identify the oral aspects of atopic dermatitis. More investigations are needed in order to contribute to the knowledge of such oral aspects and the approach to treat these patients regarding oral health.

Our aim was to evaluate clinical, biochemical and microbiological markers related to dental caries in adults. A sample that consisted of 75 volunteers was utilized. The presence of caries and the presence of plaque and gingival indices were determined. Unstimulated salivary flow, pH, lactate, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus dentisani were measured in the participants’ plaque and saliva samples before and after rinsing with a sugar solution. Lactate in plaque was found to be significantly related to age, gender, tooth-brushing frequency, the presence of cavitated caries lesions and plaque and gingival indices (p < 0.05). The levels of S. dentisani in plaque increased significantly with tooth-brushing frequency (p = 0.03). Normalized plaque S. dentisani values and the percentage of S. dentisani were slightly higher in patients with basal lactic acid levels ≤ 50 mg/L. After rinsing with a sugary solution, the percentage of S. mutans levels in plaque were higher in patients with lactic acid levels > 350 mg/L (p = 0.03). Tooth-brushing frequency was the factor which was most associated with oral health. Women reflected better clinical and biochemical parameters than men. Low pH and high lactic acid levels tended to be associated with high caries rates. No association was found between bacteria levels and caries indices.

Abstract Objectives This article aims to provide a brief review of information retrieval and hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) and describe library experiences and working methods at a regional HB-HTA center from the center's inception to the present day. Methods For this brief literature review, searches in PubMed and LISTA were conducted to identify studies reporting on HB-HTA and information retrieval. The description of the library's involvement in the HTA center and its working methods is based on the authors’ experience and internal and/or unpublished documents. Results Region Västra Götaland is the second largest healthcare region in Sweden and has had a regional HB-HTA center since 2007 (HTA-centrum). Assessments are performed by clinicians supported by HTA methodologists. The medical library at Sahlgrenska University Hospital works closely with HTA-centrum, with one HTA librarian responsible for coordinating the work. Conclusion In the literature on HB-HTA, we found limited descriptions of the role librarians and information specialists play in different units. The librarians at HTA-centrum play an important role, not only in literature searching but also in abstract and full-text screening.

Introduction: The spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been described as a valuable neuromodulating procedure in the management of chronic and medically untreated neuropathic pain. Although, many studies have discussed the use of this technique, a question still remains regarding its efficacy in different medical conditions with different etiology in the long term. The aim of this paper is to discuss the risks, complications, cost-effectiveness and results of SCS in patients affected by chronic neuropathic pain based on the comprehensive literature review. Methods: Bibliographic search of references from 1950 to 2016 using the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, PubMed, and applied language as selection criteria, choosing preferably recent articles written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. Results: Based on literature review, SCS is a safe, reversible, adjustable and nondestructive surgical procedure demonstrating a significant effect in the reduction of pain intensity and improvement in quality of life in these patients. Furthermore, in spite of the initial high cost to its application, SCS has been associated with lower rates of complications and high rates of cost-effectiveness when compared to standard therapies. Conclusion: Although used in medical conditions with different etiology, the procedure is still an effective and a cost-effective approach to neuropathic pain, mainly in patients affected by failed back pain syndrome (FBSS) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Diabetes melitus merupakan kelainan metabolisme kronis yang ditandai dengan hiperglikemia dengan gangguan metabolisme karbohidrat, lemak, dan protein. Pasien dengan diabetes mellitus seringkali memiliki kontrol glikemik yang buruk dan memiliki banyak risiko komplikasi mikrovaskuler. Obat hipoglikemik sintetik tidak dapat sepenuhnya mengontrol kadar glukosa serta seringkali menimbulkan efek samping yang menyebabkan ketidakpatuhan pasien minum obat. Selama berabad-abad, obat-obatan herbal telah banyak digunakan untuk mengobati berbagai macam penyakit yang sampai saat ini masih digunakan sebagai alternatif pertama untuk menyembuhkan penyakit tertentu di negara berkembang. Aloe vera telah digunakan oleh berbagai budaya karena khasiat obatnya yang luar biasa. Penelitian ini merupakan  literature review yang melibatkan sebanyak 21 sumber pustaka dengan kata kunci yang digunakan yaitu ‘aloe vera dan diabetes’ dengan tahun terbit antara 2009- 2020. Abstrak dan full text jurnal dibaca dan dicermati, kemudian dilakukan analisis terhadap isi yang terdapat dalam tujuan penelitian dan hasil/temuan penelitian. Banyak studi menunjukkan ekstrak aloe vera dapat berperan dalam menurunkan glukosa darah pada penderita diabetes mellitus dan komplikasinya melalui berbagai mekanisme, seperti menurunkan glukoneogenesis dan lipogenesis, serta meningkatkan glikolisis di hati. Selain itu, aloe vera dapat mempengaruhi ekspresi gen berbeda yang terkait dengan metabolisme glukosa dan lipid. serta dikaitkan dengan aktivasi transkripsi PPAR. Kandungan senyawa dan vitamin didalamnya juga berperan sebagai antioksidan. Kandungan senyawa pada gel aloe vera menunjukkan berbagai manfaat antidiabetes, dan kandungan polisakarida di dalamnya dianggap sebagai komponen aktif utama untuk manfaat tersebut.

There are >2500 different genetically-determined developmental disorders (DD), which, as a group, show very high levels of both locus and allelic heterogeneity. This has led to the wide-spread use of evidence-based filtering of genome-wide sequence data as a diagnostic tool in DD. Determining whether the association of a filtered variant at a specific locus is a plausible explanation of the phenotype in the proband is crucial and commonly requires extensive manual literature review by both clinical scientists and clinicians. Access to a database of weighted clinical features extracted from rigorously curated literature would increase the efficiency of this process and facilitate the development of robust phenotypic similarity metrics. However, given the large and rapidly increasing volume of published information, conventional biocuration approaches are becoming impractical. Here, we present a scalable, automated method for extraction of categorical phenotypic descriptors from full-text literature. Papers identified through literature review were downloaded and parsed using the Cadmus custom retrieval package. Human Phenotype Ontology terms were extracted using MetaMap, with 76-83% precision and 72-81% recall. Mean terms per paper increased from 9 in title + abstract, to 69 using full text. We demonstrate that these literature-derived disease models plausibly reflect true disease expressivity more accurately than gold standard manually-curated models, through comparison with prospectively gathered data from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study. AUC for ROC curves increased by 5-10% through use of literature-derived models. This work shows that scalable automated literature curation increases performance and adds weight to the need for this strategy to be integrated into informatic variant analysis pipelines.
