RESUMO
This scoping review aims to summarize the available evidence on strategies employed in preventing caries in patients with molar incisor hypo-mineralization (MIH). MIH refers to an enamel defect involving opacities, and sometimes post-eruptive degradation due to enamel porosity; resulting in outcomes ranging from a mild atypical caries to severe coronary destruction. A systematic review was conducted for literature in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos and Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS). The search was aimed at studies published between January 2010 and February 2022. Data were independently selected and extracted. 989 studies were found from the systematic search and 8 studies met the eligibility criteria. Most studies evaluated remineralization and cariogenic risk, both of which are crucial elements in caries prevention, as well as decreased sensitivity. The included studies investigated fluoride varnish, dental sealants, giomers, casein, and Icon as preventative methods for dental caries. Several methods for preventing dental caries in paediatric patients with MIH exist, but more research is needed to determine their effectiveness and safety. Any preventive intervention should consider the etiological aspects of the disease, the risk of caries, the type and extent of lesions, hypersensitivity level and patient's age. Collaboration between patients and carers is critical for disease diagnosis and caries prevention.

Zika virus infection during pregnancy is now known to cause congenital microcephaly and severe brain defects. In 2016, rates of microcephaly appeared to start increasing around May, peaking in July, and declining through December. The occurrence of microcephaly appears to have increased nearly 4-fold in 2 large cities in Colombia, concurrently with the reported Zika virus epidemic in the country.

Resumen Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de las cardiopatías congénitas en dos hospitales de Cali entre 2011-2017. Método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de una cohorte de 54.193 nacimientos en dos hospitales de Cali, que incluyó recién nacidos desde el 1.º de enero 2011 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2017 captados en el programa de vigilancia y seguimiento de defectos congénitos. Inicialmente se hizo un análisis descriptivo de los pacientes con cardiopatías y luego se analizó la relación de algunas variables con un chi-cuadrado (C2) con una significancia de p-valor < 0,05. Resultados: La prevalencia en esta cohorte fue de 2,42 por 1.000 nacimientos. De los 131 pacientes con cardiopatías congénitas, 73 (55,73%) eran de sexo masculino; 91 (69,47%) nacieron con peso adecuado para la edad gestacional y 31 (23,66%) fueron pretérmino. De las madres, 30,53% se encontraban entre 25 y 29 años y 42% eran primigrávidas. Respecto a las cardiopatías congénitas, la más frecuente fue la comunicación interventricular con 52 (32,30%) casos; 105 (80,15%) tenían una sola cardiopatía congénita y 62 (47,33%) tenían cardiopatías aisladas. Las variables de peso para edad gestacional, edad materna y edad gestacional mostraron una relación estadísticamente significativa. Conclusiones: Las cardiopatías congénitas son de gran interés en salud pública dada su morbi-mortalidad y por ser causa de muerte en menores de un año en Colombia. Por lo tanto, se debe continuar trabajando en estrategias que mejoren su vigilancia, así como el diagnóstico prenatal, el tratamiento y el nivel de complejidad adecuado para cada paciente.
Abstract Objective: To describe the prevalence of congenital heart disease in two hospitals of Cali in between 2011 and 2017. Method: A retrospective study of a cohort of 54,193 births was carried out in two hospitals of Cali, which included newborns from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017, captured through the surveillance program and monitoring of birth defects. Initially, a descriptive analysis of patients with congenital heart disease was performed, and the association of some variables with a chi-square (C2) with a p-value significance <0.05. Results: The prevalence in this cohort was 2.42 x 1,000 births. Of the 131 patients with congenital heart disease, 73 (55.73%) were male; 91 (69.47%) were born with adequate weight for gestational age and 31 (23.66%) were preterm. Of the mothers, 30.53% were between 25 and 29 years old and 42% were primigravid. Regarding CC, the most frequent was interventricular communication with 52 (32.30%) cases; 105 (80.15%) had only one congenital heart disease and 62 (47.33%) had isolated heart disease. The variables of weight for gestational age, maternal age and gestational age, showed a statistically significant association. Conclusions: Congenital cardiopathy is of great interest in public health, given their morbi-mortality and as a cause of death in children under 1 year old in Colombia. Therefore, we must continue to work on strategies that improve surveillance, as well as prenatal diagnosis, treatment and the level of complexity appropriate to each patient.

Resumen Objetivo: Describir la proporción, características clínicas, demográficas y programáticas de casos fatales de coinfección TB/VIH de Cali-Colombia, en 2017. Material y Método: Estudio de corte transversal, con información de las bases de datos del programa de tuberculosis, las historias clínicas y unidades de análisis de mortalidad disponibles. Resultados: Se depuraron 257 casos fatales por TB, el 24,5% (63/257) falleció con coinfección TB/VIH. La mediana de edad fue 43 años (Rango Intercuartílico: 30-52), 73% (46/63) eran hombres, 76,2% (48/63) no pertenecían al régimen contributivo, 28,6% eran habitantes de calle. 81,2% (39/48) eran casos nuevos de TB, 76,6% (37/47), inició tratamiento; al 74,6% (47/63) se les realizó unidad de análisis de mortalidad. La presentación pulmonar fue frecuente (75,9%-44/58), en 60% de los registros se observó desnutrición (Índice de Masa Corporal <20), en 39,7% (25/63) dependencia al alcohol, tabaco o farmacodependencia. Conclusiones: La mortalidad asociada a TB/VIH es prevenible, pero en 2017 representó la cuarta parte de la mortalidad por TB en Cali. Hombres adultos con condiciones de vulnerabilidad social, diagnosticados en estados avanzados de enfermedad, fueron blanco de fatalidad. Mejorar los sistemas de información e integrar los programas de TB/VIH, deben ser estrategias prioritarias para la salud pública en Colombia.
Abstract Objective: To describe the proportion, clinical, demographic and programmatic characteristics of fatal cases of TB/HIV coinfection from Cali-Colombia, in 2017. Material and Method: Cross-sectional study, with information from the TB program databases, clinical records and mortality analysis units available. Results: 257 TB fatal cases were cleared in Cali in 2017, 24.5% (63/257) of these died with TB/HIV coinfection. The median age was 43 years (Interquartile Range: 30-52), 73% (46/63) were men, 76.2% (48/63) did not belong to the contributory health regimen, 28.6% were homeless. 81.2% (39/48) were new TB cases, 76.6% (37/47) started treatment; 74.6% (47/63) had mortality analysis register. Pulmonary presentation was frequent (75.9% -44 / 58), in 60% of the registries malnutrition was observed (Body Mass Index <20), in 39.7% (25/63), dependence on alcohol, tobacco or drug dependence was registered. Conclusions: Mortality associated with TB/HIV is preventable, but in 2017 it represented a quarter of the TB mortality in Cali. Adult men with conditions of social vulnerability, diagnosed in advanced stages of disease, were fatally targeted. Improving information systems and integrating TB/HIV programs should be priority strategies for public health in Colombia.
