ABSTRACT
Antecedentes: La Descodificación Biológica propone la correspondencia entre el estrés ante una situación desbordante y la aparición de síntomas. La ciencia ha logrado profundizar en los componentes biológicos de los trastornos del desarrollo que podrían explicar lo queocurre en algunos preceptos de esta teoría. Objetivo: Determinar a partir de la revisión de literatura científica, la relación entre el estrés y algunas hormonas, con las alteraciones craneofaciales. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en SciELO, PubMed y SCOPUS buscando artículos relacionados conel estrés, trastornos fisiológicos y esqueléticos y la hormona de crecimiento. Resultados: Se encontraron 17 artículos que relacionan el estrés con alteraciones fisiológicas, 18 artículos que muestran del el papel de los el estrés en el sistema nervioso central y la alteración de la hormona de crecimiento, además 16 artículos que relacionan la hormona de crecimiento con alteraciones esqueléticas craneofaciales. Conclusión: Se encontró evidencia que muestran cómo algunos supuestos de la teoría de la "Descodificación biológica" pueden ser explicados a partir del papel del estrés y de los estresores que podrían estimular respuestas a nivel del sistema nervioso central y llevar a cambios en estructuras óseas en pacientes en periodo de crecimiento o maduración ósea.
Background: Biological Decoding proposes the correspondence between stress in an overwhelming situation and the appearance of symptoms. Science has managed to investigate into the biological components of developmental disorders that could explain what happens in some precepts of this theory. Objective: To determine from the review of scientific literature, the relationship between stress and some hormones, with craniofacial alterations.Materials and methods: A search was carried out in SciELO, PubMed and SCOPUS looking for articles related to stress, physiological and skeletal disorders and growth hormone. Results: 17 articles were found that relate stress with physiological alterations, 18 articles that show the role of stress in the central nervous system and alteration of growth hormone, in addition 16 articles that relate growth hormone with alterations craniofacial skeletal. Conclusion: Evidence was found that shows how some assumptions of the "biological decoding" theory can be explained from the role of stress and stressors that could stimulate responses at the level of the central nervous system and lead to changes in bone structures in patients in a period of bone growth or maturation.
ABSTRACT
Background Sun exposure is the main source of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D. Since anesthesiologists work inside operating rooms, they are identified as a deficiency risk group. As medical activity in general occurs indoors, added to the work excess and sedentary lifestyle, physicians in general have low sun exposure. Aim To investigate the determinants of vitamin D levels in physicians. Material and Methods Anesthesiologists and physicians not working in operating rooms were included. A survey that comprised working hours, diet, skin color, sunscreen use and outdoor activities was also applied. Measurements of vitamin D and parathormone levels in blood were performed. Results We analyzed samples from 81 volunteers. Median vitamin D values of the whole sample were in the range of insufficiency (25.3 [interquartile range 12.4] ng/ml). Multiple linear regression analysis detected no differences between anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists. A higher body mass index was a risk factor for vitamin D deficiency, (p = 0.025). The only protective factor was the intake of a vitamin D supplement (p < 0.01). Conclusions Anesthesiologists and other specialists were both at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Obesity was a risk factor and the use of a vitamin D supplement was the only protective factor.
