However, with the aging process, both drug doses and analgesic effects must undergo new adjustments to obtain the expected results. And, in addition to the concern about drug interactions and maintenance of periodic examinations in the elderly, there are greater risks involving tolerance and pseudo addiction, which may mix physical and psychological dependence. This work intends to elucidate the pharmacodynamics in aging and update dose adjustments and possible effects in the therapeutic use of opioids in the elderly.

Methods: This observational study included 52 older adults, of whom 35 were frail (Frail Group), and 17 were non-frail (Non-Frail Group), according to Fried’s self-reported test addressing oral health variables, number of systemic diseases, and medications in use. The geriatric oral health assessment index was used to assess the oral hygiene of the groups. Results: The number of preserved teeth in dentulous older adults was significantly higher in the Non-Frail Group (p=0.048). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in the use of dental prostheses or in the detection of soft tissue lesions. Overall, 74.3% of the Frail Group had a “bad” geriatric oral health index score, which significantly differed from that of the Non-Frail Group (p=0.045). The numbers of systemic diseases and medicines used were higher in the Frail Group than in the Non-Frail Group (p<0.001), demonstrating the pathophysiological characteristics of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in frailty syndrome. Conclusion: The results showed a clear correlation between oral and general health conditions and frailty syndrome.

Patients with adverse outcomes were excluded and all the women with normal outcomes were included for data analysis. Every two gestational weeks patients were grouped and for these groups, the 5th, 50th and 95th percentiles were calculated for the FO, and DA Peak systolic velocity (PSV) and Pulsatility Index (PI). Results: Gestation-specific reference ranges were constructed for the fetal intrauterine shunts. In normal pregnancies, PI of FO decreased and PI of DA was relatively constant with advancing gestation. However, the PSV of FO and DA increased linearly with gestational age. Conclusion: Reference ranges for fetal central intrauterine shunts have been established which may enhance our understanding of fetal compromise and aid in evaluating management of complications like fetal growth restriction as well as congenital cardiac malformations.

A inclusão digital das pessoas idosas colabora para a promoção da saúde, e deve ser realizada de forma a atender as especificidades desta população. Objetivo: Elaborar e implementar treinamento para inclusão digital num ambiente virtual de aprendizagem para idosos saudáveis durante a Covid19. Método: Participaram 30 idosos de um programa de promoção à saúde; um questionário para verificar os recursos disponíveis e o grau de conhecimento para o uso dos dispositivos eletrônicos e aplicativos foi aplicado. Resultado: 28 idosos participaram do treinamento, sendo 63,3% mulheres, 46,6% casados, 80% brancos, 30% com ensino superior. Todos tinham smartphone, e 90% tinha instalado no celular e referiu saber usar o WhatsApp, 80% sabia gravar áudios, 83,3% não tinham e não sabiam usar o Google Meet ou Zoom; 64,3%, referiram precisar de treinamento para...

Avaliar os diferentes componentes da saúde oral, correlacionando-os com os parâmetros de saúde sistêmica, em idosos com diferentes classificações na Síndrome da Fragilidade: Frágeis, Pré Frágeis e Não Frágeis. Este é um estudo observacional transversal de 88 idosos, com 60 anos ou mais-sendo 72 mulheres (81,9%), dos quais 44 matriculados em um Ambulatório de Fragilidade (GAF) e 44, pareados por idade e sexo, em um Ambulatório de Promoção de Saúde-GAMIA-(GAG). Todos foram avaliados pelo mesmo protocolo clínicoodontológico, identificando o número de dentes, o tipo de protetizações e a presença de lesões na cavidade oral. Foram também avaliados pelo GOHAI, instrumento que correlaciona subjetivamente a qualidade de vida com a saúde oral. As informações sobre as doenças sistêmicas e medicações prescritas foram obtidas no prontuário médico na última consulta prévia à avaliação presencial. A seguir, os pacientes foram classificados, segundo o Teste de Fried Autorreferido, nas três possibilidades da Síndrome da Fragilidade: Frágeis (GF), Pré Frágeis (GPF) e Não Frágeis (GNF). Os pacientes do GAG mostraram maior média do número de dentes (p=0,03) e melhor pontuação no GOHAI (p=0,008), além de medianas mais altas de Próteses Sobre Implantes (p=0,007) e Próteses Fixas Convencionais (p=0,047). Paralelamente, o número de doenças sistêmicas teve média mais elevada entre os pacientes GAF (p<0,001), sendo a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica a mais prevalente em ambos os grupos (80,6%) e, junto da Depressão, as que mais superaram em prevalência no GAF. O número de medicações utilizadas também teve média mais elevada no GAF (p<0,001). Os idosos matriculados no Ambulatório de Fragilidade (GAF),sejam Frágeis ou Pré Frágeis, têm menor número de dentes, protetizações menos eficientes, higiene oral mais precária, maior número de doenças sistêmicas e de medicações utilizadas do que os matriculados no Ambulatório de Promoção de Saúde-GAMIA-(GAG), sejam eles Pré Frágeis ou Não Frágeis, demonstrando que a saúde oral deve ser entendida como um dos fatores preditores da Síndrome da Fragilidade em idosos. Palavras-chave: Idoso. Saúde oral. Fragilidade. Saúde sistêmica.
