El caso clínico que se presenta correspondió a una mujer de 53 años, tuvo como objetivo mejorar la función del habla de la paciente atendida. Se realizó un examen odontológico extraoral e intraoral para valorar la condición del aparato estomatognático diagnosticándole fisura palato-uvular. Una vez hecho el diagnóstico odontológico-médico y lingüístico se determinó los procedimientos de intervención, la mujer fue rehabilitada odontológicamente, quirúrgicamente se le realizó una palatoplastia y consecutivamente participó de 24 sesiones ordinarias y 10 de sesiones de refuerzo de ejercicios de articulación de varios fonemas enfatizando en /k/ /g/ /j/ /x/ /c/ ch/ /ñ/ /ll/ /y/. Se concluyó que después de las sesiones de intervención, la paciente evidenció una mejora en la producción de estos fonemas del habla, pasando de un rango muy bajo de 45/110 y 4/15 a un rango alto de 95/110 y 13/15 respectivamente, según los instrumentos de evaluación del lenguaje aplicados.
Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. It affects people of all ages, genders and ethnicities. However, the good news is that most cases of skin cancer are preventable and treatable if caught early. Education and prevention are critical to reducing the risk of developing skin cancer and improving people's quality of life. Below is a case study of a 35-year-old patient who was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can spread if not treated properly. The dermatologist recommended surgery to remove the tumor, which proved successful. After surgery, the importance of prevention and how to reduce the risk of developing another squamous cell carcinoma was emphasized. It was recommended to limit sun exposure, wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher. Regular skin self-exams and follow-up appointments were also advised. This case demonstrates the importance of prevention in skin cancer and the need to take measures to reduce the risk of developing this type of cancer.
