Emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment: phytoplankton structure in the presence of sulfamethoxazole and diclofenac.

Chemicals from anthropogenic activities such as domestic sewage, pesticide leaching, and improper chemical disposal have caused groundwater contamination. The presence of these emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment can change water quality and biota composition. Thus, this study investigates the effect of two emerging contaminants, anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF) and antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX), on the aquatic environment, evaluating the phytoplankton community structure. A microcosm experiment was conducted with 16 sampling units, each one with 500 mL of water sample containing phytoplankton exposed to these drugs at different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg L-1). The experiment lasted 15 days, and samples were collected on days 0, 3, 5, 7, and 14 to evaluate the phytoplankton community, the concentrations of the drugs, and the nutrients in the samples. Six phytoplankton groups were identified, and diatoms and green algae were the most diverse and abundant groups. For the entire community, we identified differences between the days of the experiment, varying in the diversity and density of organisms, but not between the concentrations of the two drugs. Evaluating the groups separately, we identified differences in the abundance of cyanobacteria for the treatment with diclofenac and desmids for the treatment with sulfamethoxazole. We demonstrated that the presence of pharmaceuticals in freshwater ecosystems can somehow affect the phytoplankton community, especially the diversity and abundance of cyanobacteria and desmids. Therefore, our study indicates the importance of evaluating the presence of pharmaceuticals in freshwater ecosystems and their influence on aquatic organisms, as well as pharmaceuticals may be changing the structure of the aquatic environment.

Association between genetic polymorphisms in the melatonin receptor type 1 A gene and sleep bruxism.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in the melatonin receptor type 1 A gene are associated with sleep bruxism in a Brazilian population. DESIGN: Individuals with suspected sleep-related problems were evaluated using polysomnography, following the recommendations proposed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples were collected, and three single nucleotide polymorphisms in the melatonin receptor type 1 A gene (rs13140012, rs6553010, and rs6847693) were selected and genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Chi-square and odds ratio tests were used to analyze genotypes and alleles individually, while using the plink software for haplotypes. A confidence interval of 95% was considered, and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: This study included 48 individuals aged between 21 and 80 years, with 27 males and 21 females. From this sample, 17 individuals were diagnosed with sleep bruxism and 31 without bruxism. No associations were found between sleep bruxism and single nucleotide polymorphisms in either the genotypic, allelic, dominant, or recessive models (p > 0.05). Haplotype genetic analysis also did not reveal any association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and sleep bruxism (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The genetic polymorphisms rs6553010, rs13140012, and rs6847693 were not associated with sleep bruxism in the studied population.

Is there an association of genetic polymorphisms of the catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (rs165656 and rs174675) and the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A gene (rs4941573 and rs6313) with sleep bruxism in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea?

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms within the catechol-O-methyltransferase and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A genes with sleep bruxism in individuals diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. DESIGN: Sixty-nine individuals with suspected sleep-related problems were evaluated by polysomnography, following the recommendations of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples were collected only from 48 of the study participants because of missing polysomnographic data. DNA samples were collected and two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A encoding HTR2A gene (rs4941573 and rs6313) and two in the catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (rs165656 and rs174675) were selected to be genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The association between sleep bruxism and genetic polymorphisms was investigated by recessive and dominant models. Association analyses were performed using a 95% confidence interval and the level of statistical significance was p < 0.05. RESULTS: From the 69 study participants, 48 were included in the polymorphism analysis and sleep bruxism was present in 35.4%. No significant differences were observed in the dominant and recessive models (p > 0.05). Haplotype and diplotype analyses revealed the predicted four haplotypes and two diplotypes were not associated with sleep bruxism. CONCLUSION: Polymorphisms rs174675 and rs165656 in the catechol-O-methyltransferase gene and rs4941573 and rs6313 in the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A gene were not significantly associated with sleep bruxism in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea.

Association Between Sleep Bruxism and Quality of Life: A Systematic Review.

AIMS: To evaluate the association between sleep bruxism (SB) and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted, and studies were included with no restrictions regarding age, gender, or language. SB and general health-related QoL and/or oral health-related QoL (OHRQoL) measures in the included studies needed to be based on validated tools. The databases searched were Google Scholar, LILACS, OpenGrey, ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science. Quality of evidence was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklists and GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) criteria. RESULTS: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Ten studies were published in English, and four in Portuguese. All studies evaluating the association of SB with health-related QoL showed no statistical significance when overall scores were considered. The overall quality of evidence was considered very low due to high heterogeneity among the studies. SB seemed not to be associated with health-related QoL, but did have a negative impact on some characteristics of OHRQoL. CONCLUSION: There is insufficient scientific evidence to support or disprove the association between SB and QoL/OHRQoL in the general population.

Auriculotherapy for sleep bruxism in children: a series of cases

Sleep bruxism is defined as a behavior that causes masticatory muscle activities during sleep. Sleep bruxism in childhood leads to consequences, which may vary from teeth wear in deciduous dentition to temporomandibular disfunction symptoms. There's no data that demonstrates improvement of children with sleep bruxism during and after auricular acupuncture treatment. Objective: Therefore, this case report series aimed to evaluate the effect of auriculotherapy on children presenting sleep bruxism. Methods: Twelve patients were included in this study, in the mean age of 6,9. The diagnosis was evaluated by the question: "Does your kid grind their teeth while sleeping?". Treatment was performed by an acupuncture specialist in a standardized way. The therapy was given for three weeks and the effect was evaluated through a sleep diary, in which the parents noted whether or not their child grinded teeth while sleeping before (baseline) and during therapy (T1 to T3). Sleep bruxism was categorized as presence or absence of nocturnal teeth grinding and the frequency varied from 0 to 7 (baseline), 0 to 5 (T1), 0 to 7 (T2) and 0 to 4 (T3) between patients. The intensity of the reported sleep bruxism was compared according to the periods by pared T-test ( =0.05). Results: It was observed that the frequency of reports decreased significantly from baseline to T3. Conclusion: These results suggest that ear acupuncture may be an alternative therapy for sleep bruxism in childhood, once it demonstrated to reduce its frequency in this study, although patients may present different effects to therapy due to biological variability.

Introdução: Bruxismo do sono é definido como um comportamento que causa atividades musculares durante o sono. Na infância, leva a consequências que podem variar de desgaste dentário na dentição decídua a sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular. Não há estudos que demonstrem melhora de casos de crianças com bruxismo do sono durante e após tratamento com auriculoterapia. Objetivo: portanto, esta série de casos visou avaliar o efeito da auriculoterapia em crianças apresentando este quadro. Métodos: Doze pacientes foram inclusos neste estudo, com a media de idade de 6,9. O diagnóstico foi avaliado pela pergunta "Seu filho range os dentes quando dorme?". O tratamento foi executado por um especialista em acupuntura de forma padronizada. A terapia foi feita por três semanas e o efeito foi avaliado através de um diário do sono, no qual os pais anotavam se a criança rangeu os dentes enquanto dormia antes (baseline) e durante a terapia (T1 a T3). Bruxismo do sono foi categorizado como presença ou ausência de ranger de dentes e a frequência variou de 0 a 7 (baseline), 0 a 5 (T1), 0 a 7 (T2) e 0 a 4 (T3) entre os pacientes. A intensidade foi comparada de acordo com os períodos pelo teste-T pareado (=0,05). Resultados: Foi observado que a frequência de relatos diminuiu significativamente de baseline a T3. Conclusão: Estes resultados sugerem que auriculoterapia pode ser uma terapia alternativa para o bruxismo do sono na infância, uma vez que demonstrou reduzir sua frequência neste estudo, embora os pacientes possam apresentar efeitos diferentes devido à variabilidade biológica.

Association between painful temporomandibular disorders and sleep quality: A systematic review.

This review aimed to systematically evaluate the association between painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and sleep quality in adults. Observational case-control studies using either RDC/TMD or DC/TMD for TMD diagnostic and validated questionnaires for sleep quality were selected by two reviewers in a two-phase process. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SCOPUS, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Grey literature (ProQuest, Google Scholar and OpenGrey). To be eligible, studies had to include adults (>18 years old), with no language, gender or time of publication restrictions. The quality of the papers was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Eight case-control studies were included, with high (4) and moderate (4) quality assessment. Seven studies reported a significant association between the presence of painful TMD and sleep quality (P < .05), while the other found impaired sleep in participants with higher sensitivity to heat pain (P < .001). When pain levels were concerned, using different pain scales, six studies found differences when compared to control groups. One study showed that in non-painful TMD, the PSQI values were not different when compared to the control group. An association exists between painful TMD and sleep quality. The presence of pain seems to strongly impact the sleep quality in TMD patients.

Bruxism: An umbrella review of systematic reviews.

OBJECTIVES: To synthesise available knowledge about both sleep (SB) and awake bruxism (AB) as depicted by previous published systematic reviews (SR). METHODS: SR investigating any bruxism-related outcome were selected in a two-phase process. Searches were performed on seven main electronic databases and a partial grey literature search on three databases. Risk of bias of included SR was assessed using the "University of Bristol's tool for assessing risk of bias in SR". RESULTS: From 1038 studies, 41 SR were included. Findings from these SR suggested that (a) among adults, prevalence of AB was 22%-30%, SB (1%-15%), and SB among children and adolescents (3%-49%); (b) factors consistently associated with bruxism were use of alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, some psychotropic medications, oesophageal acidification and second-hand smoke; temporomandibular disorder signs and symptoms presented a plausible association; (c) portable diagnostic devices showed overall higher values of specificity (0.83-1.00) and sensitivity (0.40-1.00); (d) bruxism might result in biomechanical complications regarding dental implants; however, evidence was inconclusive regarding other dental restorations and periodontal impact; (e) occlusal appliances were considered effective for bruxism management, although current evidence was considered weak regarding other therapies. CONCLUSIONS: Current knowledge from SR was mostly related to SB. Higher prevalence rates were found in children and adolescents than in adults. Associated factors and bruxism effects on stomatognathic structures were considerably heterogeneous and inconsistent. Overall good accuracy regarding portable diagnostic devices was found. Interventions' effectiveness was mostly inconclusive regarding the majority of available therapies, with the exception of occlusal appliances.

Knowledge of parents/caregivers about the sleep bruxism of their children from all five Brazilian regions: A multicenter study.

BACKGROUND: Sleep bruxism (SB) is a masticatory muscle activity that affects children. Parents' knowledge is important for its identification and report to dentists. AIM: To investigate parents' knowledge about SB among their children. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study included 1325 parents of children from dental clinics of seven institutions from all regions of Brazil. Parents answered questions about child's sleep, knowledge about SB and its occurrence among children and parents. SB definition given by parents was dichotomized as "correct"/"incorrect", based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine definition. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Most parents (57.3%) did not know what SB is and 88.9% would like to receive more information. SB prevalence among parents was 15.4% and 24.0% among children. Between parents who correctly defined SB, its prevalence increased to 27.5% among parents and 40.6% among children. Parents whose children had/have SB, who would like to receive more information about SB and were from the North, Central-West, Southeast, and South regions were more likely to define SB correctly (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: There is a lack of knowledge of parents about SB. SB among children, parents' interest in receiving more information and their location were factors associated to their knowledge.

Expectativas, percepções e opiniões de mulheres sobre o atendimento durante o parto / Expectations, perceptions and opinions of women about the care provision during childbirth / Expectativas, percepciones y opiniones de mujeres sobre la atención en el parto

Verificar, a partir das expectativas e das percepções, a satisfação de mulheres em relação ao atendimento recebido durante o parto e identificar, segundo a opinião das mulheres, ações alternativas para a melhoria da qualidade da assistência ao parto. Pesquisa qualitativa descritiva desenvolvida em dois hospitais de ensino de Minas Gerais em 2015. Entrevistaram-se 104 mulheres no pré-natal e no pós-parto. Utilizou-se método do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Das entrevistadas. 68 eram do hospital A e 36 do hospital B, idade média de 27 anos. As questões relacionadas às atitudes e práticas dos profissionais foram as mais expressivas, seguidas pelo destaque aos acompanhantes, com 18 expressões chave. As mulheres sentem-se satisfeitas em relação ao atendimento recebido durante o parto, principalmente as questões relacionadas à interação com os profissionais de saúde. Elas relatam que esses aspectos contribuem para melhoria dos serviços de saúde e afirmam que a satisfação está interligada à qualidade da assistência à saúde recebida.

To verify, based on expectations and perceptions, the satisfaction of women in relation to the care received during the childbirth and to identify, according to women's opinion, alternative actions to improve the quality of labor and delivery care. Qualitative descriptive research developed in two teaching hospitals of Minas Gerais in 2015. A total of 104 women were interviewed, through interviews in prenatal and postpartum settings. The Collective Subject Discourse method was used. 68 interviewees were from hospital A and 36 from hospital B, the mean age was 27 years old. The questions related to the professionals' attitudes and practices were the most expressive, followed by the highlight to the companions with 18 key expressions. Women feel satisfied regarding the care received during labor and delivery, especially regarding the questions related to the interaction with health professionals. They report that these aspects contribute to the improvement of health services and indicate that satisfaction is intertwined with the quality of the health care received.

Agreement between two different approaches to assess parent-reported sleep bruxism in children.

INTRODUCTION: Parents' report is the most used method for the study of sleep bruxism (SB) in children, especially in research with large samples. However, there is no consensus about the questions used to assess SB, what may difficult the comparisons between studies. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to evaluate the agreement between two different approaches to assess possible sleep bruxism (PSB) in children using parents' report. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 parents/caregivers. Prior to the questionnaire completion, all participants received a standard explanation of SB concept. Subsequently, the parents/caregivers answered a general question (GQ) and a frequency-time question (FTQ) about SB, and the answers were compared. RESULTS: The majority of the participants were the children's mothers (73%) and the childrens mean age was 7.5 years (SD: 2.25). PSB frequency in children did not differ statistically through the two questions [GQ: 30.7% (CI95%: 24.2 - 37.1) and FTQ: 26.6% (CI95%: 20.4 - 32.8)], and an almost perfect agreement was observed between the answers (kp=0.812).
