Lumbar hernia is defined as the presence of failure in the transverse fascia or in the aponeurosis of the transverse abdominal muscle that results in the extrusion of intra or extra peritoneal organs through the discontinuity of the postero lateral abdominal wall. The aim of this study was to conduct a methodical review of the anatomy of the hernia form grynfelt dated from 1985 to 2016. For this, we performed a bibliographic review through electronic databases like SciELO, PubMed, Science Direct, LILACS and Bireme to get better approach to the subject. It has been found that the lumbar hernia is a disease little known by doctors whose diagnostics are often performed in the wrong way and for surgical correction needs a good anatomical knowledge. Lumbar hernias, although rare, must be taken into account, since ischemia of herniated intestinal segments can lead to the death of the patient, especially in the elderly. Knowledge about the anatomy of the lumbar region is of vital importance because it makes surgery safe and reduces risks of complications and recidivating of the hernia.

Body painting is an important tool in the process of teaching and learning anatomy in undergraduate courses, being a valuable tool in the construction of knowledge mainly in places with corpse acquisition deficiencies for the anatomical study. This technique has been seen as a method to improve learning in the teaching of anatomy, since it is not restricted only to the organ expressed in the drawing, but also its topographic location of the organs. Based on these premises the objective of this work was to investigate if body painting promotes significant learning of human anatomy. For this, a descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative approach was carried out through the application of a semistructured questionnaire with 80 students from three health sciences courses during two consecutive semesters. The data were statistically analyzed using the square test and the Kruskal Wallis test using the Graph Pad Prism version 6.0 software. The data presented a value of p <0.05. The values obtained for each group were expressed in median ± e.p. It was found that there was no statistically significant difference in age. It was found that 95% of the students preferred teaching with body painting while 5% preferred the traditional one. Regarding the adequacy of the learning objectives 3.08 ± 0.6337 (score from 0 to 5) stated that the objectives were achieved. It was observed that 100% of students consider painting promote meaningful learning. When analyzing the consideration of the interviewees about the importance of bodypaint for the construction of knowledge, an expressive result was observed regarding the use of this methodology, being approved by 97% of the students. It can be observed that body paint has great potential as a tool for teaching anatomy, since it stimulates and promotes the learning process, revealing as a positive and useful educational experience for these subjects. Thus, it is important to incorporate this technique as a routine teaching method, in view of the satisfactory results observed in the study and the provided educational aid.Support or Funding InformationUFCThis abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.

The purpose of this study was to know the oral epidemiological profile of patients admitted in a public hospital in the state of Ceará in the immediate preoperative period using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (IHO-S). This is a cross-sectional retrospective study of 40 male patients and 4 female patients hospitalized who underwent surgical treatment of maxillofacial fractures. The mean age of the patients was 31.27 years, presenting 21 patients (52.5%) with good oral condition, 18 patients (45%) regular condition and only 1 (2.5%) with poor oral condition. Although oral hygiene has been considered good, studies that emphasize the removal of bacterial biofilms should be performed for patients who have obtained the worst results, in order to reduce the problems that these poor results may cause. Through this study the importance of the dental surgeon in a hospital environment is apparent, acting in the treatment and prevention of factors associated with the oral cavity during the period of hospitalization.

A dor causada pela inserção da agulha durante a anestesia local está ligada à ansiedade do paciente no momento do atendimento. Sendo assim, os anestésicos tópicos foram criados com o objetivo de diminuir a sensação dolorosa durante esse procedimento. O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal avaliar a utilização da anestesia tópica por cirurgiões dentistas, antes da administração da anestesia local. Avaliou-se o uso de anestésicos tópicos através de uma coleta de dados por meio de formulário eletrônico, respondido por 53 Cirurgiões Dentistas, professores de uma Universidade de rede particular do estado do Ceará. Por meio do estudo foi possível perceber que 47% dos Dentistas sempre utilizam a anestesia tópica, tendo preferência pelo tipo gel (89%), ao invés do Spray (7%). Múltiplos fatores podem ser responsáveis por uma confusão referente à eficácia do anestésico tópico: distinção da área da aplicação, secagem preliminar da superfície, o tempo de aplicação, método de avaliação da dor e tipo de produto. Concluiu-se que a maioria dos profissionais faz uso da anestesia tópica, principalmente na forma de gel, se destacando os endodontistas, dentistas restauradores, ortodontistas e protesistas. Além disso, indivíduos com mais tempo de formados utilizam anestésicos tópicos mais frequentemente e da forma mais correta.

The styloid process is a bone projection that originates in the tympanic portion of the temporal bone. The enlongation of the styloid process, or the ossification of the styloid process, can originate a series of symptoms such as dysphagia, odynophagia, facial pain, otalgia, headache, tinnitus and trismus, establishing the clinical picture of Eagle Syndrome. In this report, we present an important clinical case of adult patient diagnosed with Eagle’s Syndrome who underwent surgery for reduction of the enlongated styloid process, by intraoral approach, added to a literature review study.
