Clinic and epidemiologic characteristics in the with squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth and oropharynxResumo / Summary O câncer de boca e orofaringe é de comportamento agressivo e, no Brasil, a incidência é considerada uma das mais altas do mundo, sendo o mais comum da região de cabeça e pescoço. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos dos pacientes e a evolução da doença. Costa. This was analyzed with emphasis on age, gender, profession, ethnic aspects, tobacco and alcohol use, dental prosthesis, referement origin, site of the lesion, clinical staging, histologic grade, treatment methods, survival and second cancer presence in the study group. The data were analysed by Exact Test of Fischer. Results: In the oral cavity cancer patients, a male female ratio of 3.35:1 was observed, the median age was 62 years (ranging 46 to 91 years), 90.7% were Caucasian, 81% were referred from medical professionals, tobacco use was identified in 76.8%, alcohol intake in 74%, 79% were not dental prosthesis users, tongue was the commonest site identified (51.1%), 53% were staged as III and IV clinical stages, 72.1% were moderately differentiated SCC, combined modality of treatment (surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy) was employed in 47% and 9.3% presented a second primary tumor. For the oropharynx, the male female ratio was 11.5:1, the median age was 58 years (ranging 40 to 81 years), 92% were Caucasian, 92% were referred from medical professionals, exposure to tobacco and alcohol was respectively noted in 84% and 80%, 52% did not use dental prosthesis, the tonsils were the commonest site (76%), 96% were staged as III and IV, 84% had moderately differentiated SCC, 75% underwent combined treatment (surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy) and 8% presented a second tumor elsewhere. There was not significant relationship between the clinical staging and tobacco, alcohol and dental prosthesis exposure. These factors, the age and the histologic grade had no relationship with the tumor site. For the oral cavity, 69,7% were alive with no evidence of disease and for the oropharynx, 22% were under this condition. Conclusion: The professional who performs the first evaluation is important in recognizing the lesions in order to achieve early detection.Palavras-chave: carcinoma espinocelular, câncer bucal, boca, orofaringe, epidemiologia.

A definitive answer on the relation of psychological factors and pain area is not available; the findings suggest that only depression might have a weak relation with pain area. Future studies that investigate sensory, psychological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral aspects, and also more accurate methods of PD assessment, are needed.

O queijo Minas Frescal representa a maioria dos queijos comercializados em feiras e mercearias em consequência do alto rendimento na fabricação e preço acessível à população. Diante disso, o objetivo com este trabalho foi avaliar as características físico-químicas deste queijo comercializado em feiras livres na cidade de Montes Claros, Norte de Minas Gerais. Após a coleta de queijos em cinco diferentes feiras, foram avaliadas as características referentes ao pH, acidez, umidade, proteína e gordura. Observou-se falta de padronização na produção associada a variação nos teores de umidade (32,62 a 54,06%), proteínas (34,21 a 49,43%) e gordura no extrato seco (41,30 a 58,41%). Em relação aos valores de pH e acidez dos produtos, a temperatura de armazenamento pode torná-los mais ácidos em consequência do tempo de exposição nos locais de venda. Conclui-se que a aplicação de procedimentos operacionais e tecnológicos adequados pode melhorar a qualidade dos produtos, cuja maior procedência é artesanal.
