RESUMO
Introduction: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) consists of a group of diseases that imply a disorder among individuals connective tissue due to an altered collagen production. Fibrocartilaginous structures, support ligaments, disc and retrodiscal from the temporomandibular joint are composed primarily of collagen. Objective: Identify TMJ manifestations in patients with different types of EDS. Materials and Methods: a systematic review of the literature was performed on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Observational studies and case series reports published either in spanish or panish were included up until January 2023. Results: 12 articles met the inclusion criterial. The prevalence of temporomandibular disorders varies from 26.6% to 100%, being EDSh the most reported subtype, whereas disc displacement with or without reduction and joint hypermobility were the most reported joint disorders. Conclusion: Temporomandibular pathologies are common in patients with EDS, especially in those with the EDSh subtype.
RESUMO
Introduction: The liver is the organ responsible for the metabolism of nutrients, some drugs, and the production of coagulation factors. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 23 million people worldwide are diagnosed with liver disease each year. As a result, it is common for dentists to encounter these patients on a daily basis in their practice. The objective of this review is to establish the dental management of patients with liver disease. Material and methods: A manual literature search was conducted using the indexed articles in PUBMED and EBSCO databases using the keywords "oral surgery," AND "liver disease," AND "hepatic cirrhosis," AND "dental management". Results: Patients with liver disease present important characteristics for the dentist, which must be recognized in order to perform procedures with the lowest risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications. A patient with poorly controlled underlying liver disease is more prone to infections and bleeding, which implies a high risk of morbidity. Conclusions: Dental care for patients with liver disease should be assessed according to the reason for consultation, control of the disease, the complexity of the procedure to be performed, and both intraoperative and postoperative hemostatic measures. All necessary hemostatic measures should be considered and dose adjustments should be considered in the use of NSAIDs.
RESUMO
El COVID19 ha afectado a millones de personas a nivel mundial. Entre los pacientes contagiados que se agravan y requieren de cuidados intensivos avanzados; además de largas estadías de hospitalización, se encuentran quienes tienen obesidad. Debido a la gran prevalencia de personas con obesidad, tanto en países desarrollados como en en vías de desarrollo, y a las distintas secuelas que experimentan debido al efecto directo del virus como al tratamiento que reciben, es necesario comprender la fisiopatología asociada a la severidad del contagio. Otro aspecto importante a considerar es ¿cómo las secuelas del tratamiento en las unidades de pacientes críticos pueden afectar el estado de salud de estas personas? El propósito de esta revisión fue indagar en la literatura sobre la rehabilitación fisica en pacientes con obesidad que han padecido COVID19 con el objetivo de tener una mirada integral que apunte a potenciar los resultados de la rehabilitación durante todo el curso de la enfermedad. Se revisaron antecedentes en bases de datos como Pubmed, la literatura y ante la escasa evidencia sobre el proceso de rehabilitación en las personas con obesidad se realizó una revisión narrativa del paciente con obesidad que enferma de COVID19 y que luego de una hospitalización prolongada debe ser reintegrado a sus actividades habituales. Se enfatiza en la fisiopatología asociada a la inmovilización prolongada de un paciente con comorbilidades previas y se proponen estrategias de rehabilitación basadas en el entrenamiento físico adaptado a su nueva condición de salud.
ABSTRACT COVID19 is a pandemic that has affected all of humanity and is still far from being eradicated, despite efforts to vaccinate the population. Among infected patients whose symptoms worsen and require advanced intensive care; in addition to long hospital stays, there are people with obesity. Due to the high prevalence of people with obesity, both in developed and developing countries, and the different sequelae they experience due to the direct effect of the virus and the treatment they receive, it is necessary to understand the pathophysiology associated with the severity of the contagion, as well as treatment sequelae among intensive care patients with the goal of having a comprehensive view that aims to enhance the results of rehabilitation throughout the course of the disease. Post-discharge sequelae depend on the severity of the disease, previous comorbidities, and length of hospitalization. This review presents a global panorama of obese patients who become ill with COVID19 and who, after a prolonged hospitalization, return to normal daily routines. Emphasis is placed on the pathophysiology associated with prolonged immobilization of a patient with previous comorbidities and on rehabilitation strategies based on physical training adapted to the new health condition.
