“…Hypertension was the most frequent systemic disorder both before and during the pandemic. This result was similar to that of Bogari et al, who reported that hypertension was the most common systemic disorder (63.7%) among their endodontic patients (15). As one in every three people worldwide is expected to develop hypertension in their lifetime (15), the high frequency of this disorder in our study is not unexpected.…”

Objective: To compare patient-related and clinical-related characteristics of endodontic patients, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study population comprised 506 patients (teeth: n=674) aged 13–81 years who attended undergraduate dental clinics in the Endodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry at Biruni University for endodontic treatment. Patient-related and clinical-related data were compared at two time intervals: before the first COVID-19 case was reported in Turkey and after the first COVID-19 case was reported in Turkey Results: There were no significant differences in terms of age and sex of the patients attending the clinics before versus during the pandemic. The incidence of reported pain before the pandemic was significantly lower than that reported during the pandemic (p=0.041). Periapical health before the pandemic was significantly better than that during the pandemic (p

“…It’s interesting to note that, in line with previous research, among our group, which had a mean age of 44.58 years, similar participants were referred for hypertension, and a sizable number were ignorant of their illness. Among patients at screened endodontic clinics, Bogari & Bakalka (2016) discovered a significant prevalence of hypertension (63.7%), with more than half being unaware of their illness. According to Saeedi et al (2019) , type 2 diabetes is a very frequent condition that affects 9.0% of women and 9.6% of men worldwide.…”

Background This descriptive cross-sectional study focuses on the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) amongst patients who visited the Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics department. Recognizing these incidence statistics is critical for improving endodontic therapy delivery and assuring high-quality dental care with positive treatment outcomes. Methods In advance of getting dental care, all patients visiting the department were advised to get their blood sugar and blood pressure levels checked at random. Measurements were taken with digital equipment, and individuals with high levels were encouraged to seek medical advice before undergoing dental procedures. The obtained data was imported into Excel and analyzed with IBM SPSS software (version 21). Results The investigation had 1,100 participants (55.8% female and 44.2% male), with an average age of 44.58 ± 12.77 years. Of the individuals, 40.6% were referred for type 2 diabetes, 12.6% for hypertension, and 24.0% for both diseases. There was a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between referral status and gender. The average blood pressure and random blood sugar readings were 141.02 mmHg ± 56.28 mmHg (systolic), 79.83 mmHg ± 10.68 mmHg (diastolic), and 126.68 mg/dL ± 15.36 mg/dL, respectively. There was a substantial (p < 0.05) difference in mean systolic blood pressure between men and women. Furthermore, age was strongly connected with random blood sugar levels (p < 0.05) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). There were significant (p < 0.05) variations in mean blood pressure and blood sugar levels between referred and non-referred individuals. Conclusion Age had a relationship with higher random blood sugar levels, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Dentists should consider patient age while planning treatment, as type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension require unique techniques to emphasize patient safety and produce excellent outcomes.

“…4 A hipertensão, considerada uma das principais causas de morte no mundo, é um exemplo, uma vez que a ausência de sintomas suscita o atendimento de pacientes descompensados ou não diagnosticados. 7 Por conseguinte, o cirurgião-dentista muitas vezes é o responsável pela abordagem inicial da hipertensão através da aferição de pressão arterial pré-operatória, avaliação de risco e encaminhamento médico. 8 Essa perspectiva torna-se um problema diante da negligência por parte de alguns profissionais, que não fazem o condicionamento pré-operatório envolvendo aferição de pressão arterial; estudos demonstraram que 55% dos profissionais realizam a aferição previamente.…”

Justificativa e Objetivos: A sífilis é umas das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis que causam grandes danos às gestantes e seus conceptos. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer o perfil epidemiológico de gestantes portadoras de sífilis em um município da região do Cariri, Ceará, Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza descritiva, documental, com abordagem quantitativa, realizada no período de fevereiro a dezembro de 2018. O estudo ocorreu no setor de vigilância epidemiológica de um município da região do Cariri, e teve como amostra, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 96 fichas de investigação de sífilis em gestantes. Um roteiro de formulário foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados. Posteriormente, os dados foram analisados pelo Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultados: Em relação ao perfil sociodemográfico, 53,2% (n=51) das participantes tinham idade entre 14 e 23 anos, 87,5% (n=84) estavam no último trimestre da gestação, 84,4% (n=81) eram pardas, 54,2% (n=52) tinham ensino fundamental incompleto, 84,4% (n=81) residiam na cidade de Juazeiro do Norte - Ceará, e 76% (n=73) possuíam como ocupação ser dona do lar. Quanto ao estágio clínico, 83% (n=80) apresentavam a forma latente da doença. No ano de 2017, a incidência foi de 48% (n=46) e em 2018, foi de 52% (n=50). Conclusão: Embora o acesso ao diagnóstico da sífilis no período gestacional tenha melhorado após a incorporação do teste rápido para sífilis nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família (UBSF), esta patologia ainda tem grande predominância no Brasil, como evidenciado no estudo.
