Abstract:
Introduction First described in 2002, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ, or avascular necrosis of the jaw) is an uncommon but potentially serious side effect of treatment with bisphosphonates. Although typically identified in patients with multiple myeloma and other malignancies, a few cases have been reported in patients taking bisphosphonates - a potent drug class used in the treatment of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption issues, including postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, and malignant hypercalcemia. The clinical diagnosis of ONJ can be obscured by jaw pain, abscess, swelling, and fistulas, but exposed bone is a distinctive sign. This reports a case of ONJ secondary to bisphosphonate use in a 65-year-old woman and clinical management complications. Case Presentation A 65-year-old lady with history of age-related osteoporosis and compression fractures on alendronate for 4 years, squamous cell carcinoma of neck status post excision and radiotherapy 11-years prior, Sjogren's syndrome and discoid lupus on hydroxychloroquine, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and multiple dental abscesses presents with persistent neck pain. Initial CT neck with contrast showed diffuse fat stranding. Subsequently, alendronate was discontinued due to jaw necrosis suspicion. Eight months later, repeat CT scan showed new non-mass-like soft tissue thickening in the subcutaneous fat abutting the right anterior mandible with mandibular teeth cavities and periapical lucencies, likely to be periodontal cellulitis versus radiation osteonecrosis. Later, patient complained of a piece of bone penetrating the skin of her chin and presented with continuous drainage from sinus tract in her mandible, which was diagnosed as osteonecrosis attributed to bisphosphonates, previous radiation therapy, and dental abscesses. Patient was started on abaloparatide, an osteo-anabolic medication for osteoporosis and enrolled in hyperbaric oxygen therapy which immensely helped in controlling sinus drainage. Patient is currently awaiting mandibular reconstruction surgery. Discussion ONJ, often associated with pain, swelling, exposed bone, local infection, and pathologic fracture of the jaw, is a rare complication of bisphosphonate therapy. Currently, no prospective data exists to advise the benefits of therapy discontinuation however most clinical practices tend to discontinue at least temporarily. The incidence increases with longer treatment duration, particularly when therapy exceeds four years. Risk factors for developing ONJ while taking bisphosphonates include IV administration, anticancer therapy, dose and duration of exposure, dental extractions/implants, glucocorticoids, smoking, diabetes, and preexisting dental disease. Case reports and series suggest benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy in wound healing, pain, and quality of life at three months, however no significant differences exist with outcomes beyond three months. Patients being considered for therapy with a bisphosphonate should be thoroughly evaluated for dental issues, prior to initiating therapy. Conservative management with limited debridement, antibiotic therapy as needed, and topical mouth rinses rather than aggressive surgical resection are recommended. Conservative therapy may result in healing in a significant proportion of patients. Surgical resection of necrotic bone should be reserved for refractory or advanced cases. Providers should remain cautious while prescribing high doses of bisphosphonates in patients with increased risk factors to prevent, timely diagnose and treat this condition.

Abstract:
Thesis submitted to the University of Manchester by Richard Macey for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy entitled “Detection of Common Dental Diseases by Dental Hygiene-Therapists”, February 2016.Many adult patients that attend NHS dental practices on a regular basis are asymptomatic and do not need any further treatment other than a routine dental examination (“check-up”). As the oral health of the adult population is predicted to improve further, using the General Dental Practitioner to undertake the “check-up” on regular “low risk” patients represents a substantial and potentially unnecessary cost for state-funded systems. Given recent regulatory changes in the United Kingdom, it is now possible to delegate a range of tasks to Dental Hygiene-Therapists, including the routine clinical examination. This has the potential to release General Dental Practitioner’s time and increase the capacity to care at a practice level. The aim of this thesis was to determine the diagnostic test accuracy of Dental Hygiene-Therapists when detecting dental disease, explore the social acceptability of using Dental Hygiene-Therapists to manage “low risk” patients in practice and the feasibility of conducting a definitive trial. A mixed-methods approach was utilised with four inter-linked studies: 1. A diagnostic test accuracy study, which assessed the efficacy of Dental Hygiene-Therapists to detect dental caries and periodontal disease in a primary care setting (n=1899); 2. A comparative accuracy study, which investigated the ability of different dental professional groups to distinguish between photographs of malignant and non-malignant lesions (n=192); 3. A feasibility study, which examined the recruitment, retention and fidelity of using Dental Hygiene-Therapists to manage “low-risk” patients in practice over a twelve month period (n=60); and 4. A series of semi-structured interviews to determine the social acceptability of the use of Dental-Hygiene-Therapists in this role. A fifth study ran in parallel and involved undertaking a Cochrane Diagnostic Test Accuracy Systematic Review. This review informed the methods and conduct of the diagnostic test accuracy studies (studies 1 and 2). When compared to General Dental Practitioners (reference test) the Dental Hygiene-Therapists (index test) produced summary sensitivity and specificity points of 0.81 and 0.87 for dental caries, and 0.89 and 0.75 for periodontal disease respectively. When differentiating between malignant and non-malignant lesions, the Dental Hygiene-Therapist group were comparable to General Dental Practitioners for sensitivity (0.81 versus 0.77 respectively) and for specificity (0.73 versus 0.69 respectively). The feasibility results identified an acceptable recruitment rate of 34%, a retention rate of 63.33% and fidelity of 94.74%. The qualitative interviews found high social acceptability to the idea of using Dental Hygiene-Therapists to undertake routine dental examinations. These results suggest that Dental Hygiene-Therapists could be used to play a more substantial role in the management of “low risk” asymptomatic NHS patients in a primary dental care environment.

Abstract:

The negative effect of poor oral health on quality of life and financial implication of work days lost as a result of dental pain can be accepted as a rationale for inclusion of oral health in the primary health care (PHC) package for South Africa. The norms of the PHC package for oral health services are to expose at least 50% of primary schools to organized school preventive programmes and to ensure basic coverage of everybody in the catchment areas. Currently these norms are not adequately fulfilled in Randfontein. The purpose of this study was to gather information that can be used to improve oral health services in Randfontein. The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of the factors that influence the choice of oral health care seeking behaviour as perceived 
by residents in different contexts and to use these perceptions to inform appropriate health planning strategies and implementation of measures that can improve health promotion in Randfontein. This qualitative study explored oral health care seeking behaviour. The study population comprised all residents of Randfontein above seventeen years old who had visited the oral health section in the Randfontein Primary Health Care (PHC) Facility. There were two focus group discussions (FGDs) from each of three separate residential areas namely Mohlakeng with 
mainly black residents, Toekomsrus with mainly coloured race residents and from town which is a predominantly Caucasian race area. Data collected was analysed during the data collection stage and thereafter until they made sense to the researcher. To strengthen validity, the accuracy of the interpretation of what respondents said was confirmed with them. Analysed themes were 
coded and categorized to enable the key researcher to interpret them for final reporting. Appropriate ethical procedures were followed. The findings were that although all focus groups preferred 
allopathic oral health care seeking, various barriers existed. The study concluded that there should be adequate oral health education and promotion, effectivecommunication and an expansion of these services to Toekomsrus, where they do not exist.

Abstract:
The importance of oral health on systemic health is a highly researched area of study in recent years. There has been a shift in dental visits from acute emergencies to ongoing preventative care due to the knowledge connecting oral and systemic health. One of the commonly researched connections is the link between periodontal disease and heart disease. Periodontal disease is defined as inflammation of the gum tissue, resulting in periodontal pockets that can lead to infection, bone loss and even loss of the tooth. Cardiovascular disease, or heart disease, is a term that encompasses many different conditions of the heart, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis and angina. There is constant research to better understand the relationship between the two diseases, as well as any causality that may exist. Recent studies have been able to link the diseases, but no causal link has been found. The role of the bacteria involved in both diseases has recently been considered to see if these organisms are related to a potential causal link. Two particular bacteria that are known to be involved with periodontal disease are Porphyromona gingivalis and Treponema denticola. These bacteria are present when a patient develops periodontal disease, but they are not usually present in a healthy individual. Additionally, the bacteria that make up the contents of plaque found in the heart have been studied to see if there are any similarities with oral microbes. It has been found that oral bacteria can be present in arterial plaque samples. This research may allow a better understanding of how and why heart disease occurs and potentially serve as a way to treat heart disease accompanied by periodontal disease, if a causal relationship is elucidated. Heart disease is usually a devastating disease, sometimes resulting in the death of the patient. If more patients attend the dentist as a preventative measure, the risk of periodontal disease and associated pathologies may be reduced. Additionally, those that have already developed periodontal disease can work with a dental professional to reverse the disease. It is known that the bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream upon infection, so patients with suspected periodontitis should be treated to avoid the bacteria from entering the blood and affecting other organs such as the heart. An examination of the bacteria commonly found in the oral cavity at times of periodontal disease may lead to a better understanding of how and why these bacteria invade the bloodstream. It would be beneficial to compare the microbiota of both the plaque in the mouth and the plaque in a vessel supplying the heart in a patient suffers from heart disease. This understanding may lead to therapeutic interventions that aid in the prevention of bacteria traveling in the bloodstream. For many Americans, oral health care was believed to end at home by brushing and flossing. However, it is important to see a dental professional to avoid any possible complications that may not be apparent to the untrained eye. A simple dental cleaning may be important to detect the start of periodontal disease, and treatment can be initiated to end the potential spread of bacteria. It is important to maintain positive oral health in order to maintain overall systemic health, including the avoidance of heart disease.

Abstract:
Dental caries is the most common oral disease in the world, and in developed nations, it affects almost everyone. Worldwide, large variations in the trends with regard to the prevalence and the severity of dental caries have been reported. In South Africa, numerous studies to determine the caries prevalence and severity of different population groups have been carried out in the past. However, only three studies were conducted on a national scale; Williams in 19842 reported on the dental health status of 12-year-old children representing the whole country, the National Department of Health conducted a National Oral Health Survey in 1988/19893 to determine the oral health status of adults and children in the five major metropolitan areas in South Africa, and the most recent National Oral Health Survey was conducted during the period July 1999 to June 20024 and was restricted to 4- to 5- year-, 6-year-, 12-year and 15-year-old children in South Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the trends in dental caries prevalence and severity amongst South African children over a period of time by comparing the results obtained from the 1982/1983 National Oral Health Survey with results obtained from the 1988/1989 National Oral Health Survey and/or with results obtained from the 1999/2002 National Oral Health Survey. The statistical methods employed, appeared to be useful to determine the trends in dental caries prevalence and severity amongst South African children, over the period 1982 to 2002, in selected (identified) geographical locations and also in terms of age, race and gender. Although it became evident, through this research, that there is a decline in the prevalence of dental caries amongst all the population groups, from 1982 to 2002, Coloured children presented with a relatively higher prevalence and severity of dental caries when compared with Asian, Black and White children in South Africa. The results mainly showed a higher prevalence and severity of dental caries in the primary than permanent dentition amongst 6-year-old children; and there was also a significant increase in the prevalence and severity of dental caries from the 12-year-old to the 15-year-old group. Through this research, it became evident that there is higher dental caries prevalence and severity rates in the coastal regions (Metro Cape, Port Elizabeth and Durban) as compared to an interior region (Bloemfontein). It was also observed that although the severity (dmft/DMFT) of dental caries decreased during the past 20 years; the percentage of untreated caries in 12-year and 15-year-old children increased; however, at the same time the percentage of untreated caries in 6-year-old children decreased. It was found that the number of filled teeth (FT) contributes the most to the caries experience amongst 12-year- and 15-year-old White children. However, more than 70 percent of dental caries, in 6-year-, 12-year- and 15-year-old children, go untreated. These results obtained from this study entitled: Trends in dental caries prevalence and severity in South Africa; can be useful in attempting to design intervention strategies to address dental caries in South Africa.

Abstract:
AbstractObstructive salivary pathologies most commonly manifest as salivary stones (sialoliths), mucous plugs and sometimes due to narrowing of the duct (stricture/stenosis). Saliva produced by salivary glands flows into oral cavity by means of ducts. Blockage of these ducts due to the reasons mentioned above leads to sialadenitis (inflammation).Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique to manage salivary duct pathologies, including sialolithiasis, sialadenitis & strictures. It is fast becoming the investigating procedure of choice for such conditions.In the last 25 years, Sialoendoscopy has gradually seen a rise in popularity for diagnostic and therapeutic means of dealing with obstructive salivary gland pathologies.

AbstractThe field of pharmacology has always fascinated medical professionals—the ability to cure a disease by prescribing medicine is very tempting. Medical and surgical specialties benefit from the correct use of drugs, and oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is no exception. Antibiotics, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory drugs are among commonly prescribed medicines in a maxillofacial surgical practice. Umpteen number of literature studies are available on the usage of these medicines in maxillofacial surgery. A review of literature is attempted in this chapter to reach a consensus in matters pertaining to these drugs. The task was in no way an easy one as no two studies compared the same group of medicines or similar pharmacological properties. The key facts, which have emerged from this literature search, have been projected in this chapter.

Abstract:
AbstractOral cancer develops in precursor lesions referred to as the group of premalignant disorders (PMDs) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Some lesions are relatively common affecting between 1 and 5% of the population (leukoplakia) and may resemble benign and prevalent mucosal disease. These lesions pose a risk for malignancy that is independent of tobacco or alcohol, with a wide range of transformation rates between 13 and 70%. The commonest types are white patches (leukoplakia), red patches (erythroplakia) and submucous fibrosis. Knowledge of the patterns of clinical presentation of PMDs is important in order to screen patients effectively, identifying those who benefit from a close observation, those who require from targeted biopsy and those who may be safely followed up in primary care. We describe clinical features of the most well-documented premalignant disorders discussing lesion-specific risk predictors and treatment options. We also present a brief outline of the less prevalent group or premalignant systemic conditions including those that predispose to the development of mucosal squamous carcinoma and those that associate with the development of cutaneous squamous carcinoma. Genetic pathways involved in the development and progression of PMDs are outlined, and finally, we describe best practices for carrying out a diagnostic tissue biopsy.

Abstract:
AbstractNeuralgia can be defined as paroxysmal, intense intermittent pain that is usually confined to specific nerve branches to the head and neck. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for sensory innervation of the scalp, face and mouth, and damage or disease to this nerve may result in sensory loss, pain or both. >85% of cases of Trigeminal Neuralgia are of the classic type known as Classical Trigeminal Neuralgia (CTN), while the remaining cases can be separated to secondary Trigeminal Neuralgia (STN). STN is thought to be initiated by multiple sclerosis or a space-occupying lesion affecting the trigeminal nerve, whereas the leading cause of CTN is known to be compression of the trigeminal nerve in the region of the dorsal root entry zone by a blood vessel. There is no guaranteed cure for the condition of Trigeminal Neuralgia, but there are several treatment options that can give relief. In this chapter, we review the common neuralgias occurring within the oral and maxillofacial region with special emphasis on Trigeminal Neuralgia. We will discuss the historical evolution of treatment including the medical and surgical modalities with the use of current literature and newer developments. It has been highlighted that the first line of treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is still pharmacological treatment, with Carbamazepine and Oxcarbazepine being the first choice. Possible surgical methods of treatment are discussed within this chapter including modalities such as Microvascular Decompression, Gamma Knife Radiosurgery and Peripheral Neurectomy. As an OMF surgeon, it is important to obtain a good clinical history to rule out other pathology including dental focus. Many clinicians involved ranging from primary care dentists and doctors to secondary care (neurologists, Oral Medicine, OMFS, etc.) to deliver the appropriate first course of action, which is the medical management. The management of TN patients should be carried out in a multidisciplinary setting to allow the patients to choose the best-suited option for them. It is also important to set up self-help groups to enable them to share knowledge and information for themselves and their family members for the best possible outcomes.

Abstract:
The chapter demonstrates the importance of examination of the lips and oral cavity including the tongue and palate that is essential to aid accurate diagnosis and direct appropriate management. Examination may also provide clues to the recognition of systemic disorders such as Beçhet’s disease. Common oral problems like cheilitis, simple aphthous ulcers, bacterial and viral infections such as herpes simplex are described with treatment recommendations and images. Erythema multiforme, major aphthae, and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) are among the rarer diseases mentioned. Attention is also given to common tumours (lumps and bumps) such as Fox Fordyce spots, mucocoele, and viral warts and rare tumours such as leukaemic infiltrates.

Abstract:
Examination of the face and hands can identify significant skin diseases and also provide clues to the presence of underlying systemic disease. Many patients ignore even malignant skin tumours because they are often painless, subtle in appearance, and may be slow-growing. Dental healthcare professionals should be aware of how to recognize malig­nant skin tumours. If suspicious, but unsure of the nature of the lesion, the patient should be referred to their general medical practitioner for further evaluation. If malignancy is obvious, then an urgent referral to an appropriate specialist (dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or oral and max­illofacial surgeon) should be made using the ‘2-week wait’ (2WW) path­way (Chapter 1). Benign lesions and inflammatory diseases are more common and are important considerations in the differential diagnosis of head and neck skin abnormalities. It is important that the dental healthcare professional should be able to recognize common skin infections involving the oro-facial region. Some infections, such as erysipelas, can mimic cellulitis associated with a dental infection. When infection is diagnosed, it is vital to consider the underlying or predisposing factors, as these may be not only important diagnoses, but also may require treatment to achieve an effective clin­ical outcome. The adage ‘infection is the disease of the diseased’ is a useful reminder when dealing with patients presenting with infection. Direct inoculation of Streptococcus into skin through minor trauma is the most common initiating factor for erysipelas, which occurs in iso­lated cases. Infection involves the upper dermis and, characteristically, spreads to involve the dermal lymphatic vessels. Clinically, the disease starts as a red patch that extends to become a fiery red, tense, and indurated plaque. Erysipelas can be distinguished from cellulitis by its advancing, sharply defined borders and skin streaking due to lymphatic involvement. The infection is most common in children and the elderly, and whilst classically a disease affecting the face, in recent years it has more frequently involved the leg skin of elderly patients. Although a clinical diagnosis can be made without laboratory testing, and treat­ment is antibiotic therapy, when the diagnosis is suspected in dental practice, referral to a medical practitioner is recommended.

Abstract:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. MS is typically diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. There is no known cause of the disease and each individual experiences varying signs and symptoms depending on the severity of their disease. The most common symptoms include tremor, debilitated gait, visual impairment, or cognitive and emotional disturbances. Current methods used to treat MS include oral medication and surgical treatment. The issues with oral medication are the unwanted side effects to otherwise healthy tissue and the lack of patient adherence. Surgical treatment can be invasive and require longer recovery times. An alternate strategy to treat MS is by increasing the knowledge base of the practitioner to potentially treat specific symptoms. Currently, physicians use observations and MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord to help diagnose and track the progression of MS. There are several studies that analyze existing assistive technology to aid in the treatment of MS tremors. Most of these studies did not involve large test groups, therefore it is difficult to prove their validity. Additionally, none of the current devices are able to track symptoms while simultaneously creating medical history records. The goal of the design is to create a new device that will obtain the frequency and amplitude of tremors, while analyzing the effects of temperature and heart rate on the intensity of the tremor. With this data, the device will advance further MS research and lead to better diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract:
Gingivitis is the most common gingival inflammation in the oral cavity, and the most prevalent periodontal disease affecting 90% of the population in all age groups. Recently, a few research groups have investigated the possibility of using ultrasound in dentistry, particularly in diagnosing bony destruction in the more severe form of periodontal disease called periodontitis. This work investigates the feasibility of using ultrasound imaging to quantitatively assess gingival tissue inflammation. Signal and image processing of ultrasound data have been performed to quantitatively assess gingival tissue. A number of gingival scans were conducted in vitro to render ultrasound images of high-spatial and contrast resolutions. For each sample the B-mode images were matched with almost the same slices in histology. Results show that ultrasound scans for tissues with gingivitis exhibited low intensity of reflections (hypo echoic) at the inflamed tissues, while healthy dense epithelium layers exhibited higher reflections (hyper echoic). Histological diagnosis revealed good agreement with the ultrasound results indicating the usefulness of such ultrasound imaging in diagnosing gingivitis. In addition, a new design for an intraoral linear array ultrasound probe is demonstrated and utilized in our clinic in vivo. Analysis of the echogenicity patterns of the resultant images demonstrates the potential of using such a new probe in gingival health assessment, which would be feasible and clinical relevant for patient evaluations clinically.

Abstract:
Consecutive patients with a history of thrombo-embolic disease (n = 241, 109 males, 132 females, mean age 46 y), referred to the Coagulation Laboratory during an 18 month period, were analysed for defects in their coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. The diagnosis of thrombosis had been verified with phlebography and that of pulmonary embolus with scintigraphy or angiography. Retinal venous thrombosis was found in 15 of the patients. In 15 cases the thrombotic episodes occurred postoperatively, in 15 during pregnancy, in 12 during the postpartum period and in 20 during use of oral contraceptives. In the remaining cases no clinical riskfactors were identified.The concentration of protein C zymogen was measured with an immunoradiometric assay. Functional protein C was determined with a clotting inhibition assay. Protein C deficiency was found in 8 cases. Two of these had a functional protein C deficiency with normal zymogen levels. The concentration of total, as well as free (not in complex with C4b-binding protein), protein S was determined with a radioimmunoassay. Two cases of protein S deficiency were detected. Three patients with antithrombin III deficiency and two with plasminogen deficiency were found.The fibrinolytic activity after venous occlusion was analysed in 216 patients. Decreased levels were found in 32 %. The concentration of tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) was measured in 110 patients and found to be increased in 65 % of the cases. In 99 patients both the fibrinolytic activity and the PAI concentration were measured. A combination of decreased fibrinolytic activity and increased levels of PAI was found in 44 cases. The concentration of tissue plasminogen activator antigen was decreased in 22 % of 105 cases analysed.Thus, in this material of patients with thrombo-embolic disease, abnormalities were found in 47 %. Defects in the fibrinolytic system were the most common findings. Protein C or protein S deficiency was diagnosed in less than 5 % of the cases.

Abstract:
Introdução: A sífilis é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível que teve aumento de incidência nos últimos anos. É uma doença que apresenta pluralidade dos sintomas, especialmente na fase secundária, e as manifestações orais nesse estágio mais comuns são úlceras ou lesões pseudomembranosas nos lábios inferiores e na língua. A ocorrência dessas lesões está relacionada com prática desprotegida de sexo oral e é um diagnóstico que deve ser considerado naqueles pacientes com úlceras orais atípicas, mesmo na ausência de outros sintomas sistêmicos. Objetivo: Ressaltar a importância de adequado exame físico e rastreio de sífilis durante pré-natal e puerpério. Materiais e Métodos: Relato de caso de paciente atendida na Clínica da Família Souza Marques, localizada na Praça do Patriarca, s/n, Campinho, Rio de Janeiro, no ano de 2019. Relato de Caso: Puérpera, D20 pós-parto vaginal, sem intercorrências, sem realização de pré-natal. Procurou serviço por lesão em vulva. Ao exame físico, apresentava lesão verrucosa em terço médio à direita da vulva. Além disso, apresentava lesão em orofaringe com placa mucosa elevada, com superfície fibrinoide e esbranquiçada, de contornos irregulares na mucosa do lábio inferior. O Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) da internação na maternidade estava 1/64 e a paciente não soube informar se foi tratada. Foi prescrita penicilina G benzatina 1.200.000 UI em cada nádega, totalizando 3 doses, com involução das lesões e queda da titulação do VDRL. Resultado: A sífilis é uma doença de notificação compulsória, que deve ser rastreada de rotina em todo pré-natal, seja com VDRL ou teste rápido realizado em cada trimestre. A má adesão ao pré-natal reforça a importância da checagem das sorologias no puerpério imediato, possibilitando o tratamento precoce, inclusive do recém-nato. As lesões orais podem se manifestar de diversas formas e atingir toda a orofaringe, podendo causar sintomas respiratórios altos, como rouquidão e odinofagia, dificultando o diagnóstico. As lesões em mucosa podem ser brancas, ulceradas, elevadas, únicas ou múltiplas, e os principais diagnósticos diferenciais são infecções herpéticas ou fúngicas, tuberculose, histoplasmose, carcinoma de células escamosas e trauma. O tratamento deve ser realizado de acordo com o estágio da doença, e por muitas vezes não ter história cronológica apurada, o tratamento é instituído para sífilis tardia com uso de penicilina G benzatina 2.400.000 UI, intramuscular, em 3 doses. Conclusão: O diagnóstico precoce, assim como seu tratamento, devem ser sempre a prioridade em toda a população. A investigação no pré-natal e no puerpério deve ser imprescindível na Unidade Básica de Saúde, levando assim ao decréscimo dos casos no município do Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract:
There is currently a great deal of interest in the diagnosis and treatment of unstable angina and silent ischemia.Many feel that these syndromes are due, in part, to periodic accumulation of platelet thrombi which subsequently embolize.In addition, anti-piatelet therapy is also considered necessary for patients after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG'S), balloon angioplasty, and thrombolysis. Currently the two antiplatelet agents most commonly prescribed for the patient conditions mentioned above are aspirin (ASA), alone or in combination with dipyridamole (Dip). ASA reduces cardiac events in patients with unstable angina, and prolongs CABG graft patency. The addition of Dip to ASA therapy is very confusing since most studies done compared ASA + Dip to placebo. In several studies however,when an ASA group was compared to an ASA + Dip group there was no significant difference.We have developed and will describe ananimal model of coronary artery stenosis in the dog and the pig, or carotid arterystenosis in the monkey and the rabbit, with intimal damage, that simulates some ofthe conditions that exist in patients with coronary or carotid artery disease. The artery to be studied is dissected outand blood flow is continuously measured with an electromagnetic flowmeter probe. As acute platelet thrombus formation (APTF) developes in the stenosed lumen, the blood flow declines to low levels, producing ischemia until the thrombus emobolizesdistally resulting in abrupt restoration of blood flow. These cyclical flow reductions (CFR's), when they occur in the coronaries, produce ECG changes identical to those observed in patients with silent ischemia and unstable angina. They also produce significant transient regional dyskinesis of the ventricular wall, which resolves when blood flow is restored. Histologic examination of myocardial tissue in the bed distal to the stenosis shows focal areas of ischemic change presumably caused by the embolized platelet emboli.We have examined factors which exacerbate the size and frequency of these CFR"ssuch as; IV infusion of epinephrine (E) 0.4 μg/kg/min for 15 min, ventilating the animals with cigarette smoke, infusing nicotine IV, or placing chewing tobacco under the tongue.We have examined four groups of agentswhich prevent APTF in our model.1. Antiplatelet agents including ASA, indomethacin, ibuprofen and several other NSAI agentsas well as several experimental thromboxane synthetase inhibitors. These agents all block the production of TXA2and inhibit APTF in our model. Unfortunately the IV infusion of E reinstates APTtemporarily (by another biochemical pathway) until the E is metabolized. High (2-4 mg/kg) doses of Dip, alone or with sub threshold dose of ASA does nothing to I APTF.However,0.6mg/kg of chi orpromaz i ne abolishes APTF in all four species and protects agents renewal of APTF by E.2. Dietary Substances In our model, caffeine 10 mg/kg, or the extract from two garlic cloves, or enough ethanol to achieve a blood alcohol level of 0.07 mg% all significantly inhibit or abolish APTF in our model.3. Metabolic Inhibitors POCA, an oral hypoglycemic agent, which inhibits mitochondrial beta oxidation of fatty acids also inhibits APTF in our model possibly by reducing ATP production in the platelet.4. We have studied a monoclonal antibody(developed by Dr. Barry Coller) to the platelet I Ib�I I la glycoprotein receptor where fibrinogen binds platelets into aggregates and ultimately leads to APTF. This antibody 0.3 mg/kg/completely inhibits APTF, and also strongly inhibits in vitro platelet aggregation in response to either ADP or collagen given alone or each combined with E. This antibody is the most potent inhibitor of APTF that we have studied.
