O presente estudo teve como objetivos avaliar a integração e a satisfação acadêmica em universitários e analisar sua relação, conforme o curso e a etapa de formação. Participaram 203 estudantes dos cursos de Psicologia (n=76) e Odontologia (n=127) de uma universidade particular, sendo a maioria mulheres (n=158). Foram aplicados um Questionário de Vivência Acadêmica (QVA-r) e uma Escala de Satisfação Acadêmica (ESEA). Os resultados mostraram que os estudantes apresentaram níveis de integração e de satisfação superior à média. Foram detectadas diferenças entre os cursos relativas às variáveis focalizadas e correlações entre as dimensões. É possível afirmar que a integração e a satisfação, apesar de compartilhar aspectos comuns, avaliam construtos diferentes, ambos importantes para a compreensão do fenômeno complexo e multideterminado da vida acadêmica.

BackgroundTo exam the biochemical, obstetric management and pregnancy outcome in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).MethodsPregnancy outcome in patients with ICP (N = 307) was studied and patients treated with UDCA (N = 208) vs. no UDCA were compared. The data of the antenatal visits, deliveries and neonatal outcome of 307 pregnancies with ICP was collected from the hospital computerized delivery room log book. UDCA was used in 208 pregnancies. The diagnosis was made by maternal pruritus and elevation of total fasting bile acid (BA) (>6 μmol/l) and elevation of serum alanine aminotransferases (ALT) (>45 U/l). Maternal and neonatal data was analysed and data of the patients who used UDCA during pregnancy was analysed separately and compared with the data from patients without medication.ResultsUDCA was well tolerated. Mothers receiving UDCA had ICP diagnosed five weeks earlier than mothers without medication. At the diagnosis, levels of total BA and ALT were higher in the group using UDCA compared to the group without medication. Most deliveries were induced and perinatal outcome was good. Apgar scores at 5 min were significantly lower in UDCA group (p < 0.05), but fetal umbilical artery pH values were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). There were 30 patients with total BA > 40 μmol/l at diagnosis, 24 with UDCA and 6 without medication and those deliveries were induced soon after diagnosis. The preterm labour was also more common in these patents (p < 0.05). Women with preterm babies had significantly early onset pruritus and ICP was diagnosed earlier. Serum ALT and total BA levels were significantly higher in those pregnancies at diagnosis and also at first control.ConclusionsPreterm labour was associated in severe ICP (total BA > 40 μmol/l), ALT levels were also significantly higher and ICP was diagnosed earlier (p < 0.05). Apgar scores were lower in preterm babies (p < 0.05), but umbilical artery pHvalues were not significantly lower. UDCA was well tolerated by pregnant women. With low-dose UDCA treatment the obstetric outcome was good. We still recommend careful obstetrical follow-up.

Introduction: The development of squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity (SCC) is a multifactorial process, where the cellular mutagenesis is determined by co-carcinogenetic agents like the human papillomavirus (HPV). Objective: the objective of this study is to identify the HPV in the SCC by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods: twenty cases of SCC have been analyzed where the material used was extracted from specimens included in paraffin blocks of the Pathology Laboratory file of the São Vicente de Paulo Hospital of Passo Fundo/RS in the period of 2003 to 2007. They were all male cases and the 6 th decade of life was the most prevalent. The lower lip was the region that comprises most of the defects and the histological grade "well-differentiated" from the World Health Organization was predominant. It has been detected the presence of HPV's DNA in four of the 20 cases of the SCC (20%). Conclusions: it can be assured that, by the fact of the HPV has been identified in a considerable percentage of cases of SCC, it can have influence on the genesis of the referred malignant neoplasia. So, more studies are necessary to define what is the possible role of HPV in the oral carcinogenesis.

RESUMOO fibro-odontoma ameloblástico é um tumor odontogênico misto benigno, assintomático e raro, que pode ser facilmente confundido radiograficamente e histopatologicamente com outras enfermidades. Normalmente atinge uma população entre a primeira e a segunda décadas de vida, sendo mais frequente em mandíbula e com predileção pelo sexo masculino. Este tumor caracteriza-se pela agenesia dentária no local do tumor, sem predileção por região anatômica, e por um aumento de volume intrabucal, podendo causar leve assimetria facial. Apresenta crescimento lento, porém expansivo; revela-se como uma lesão radiolúcida bem definida, normalmente unilocular, com radiopacidades no seu interior. Normalmente a remoção cirúrgica é conservadora e o prognóstico é favorável. O presente trabalho relata um caso clínico de fibro-odontoma ameloblástico tratado por meio de remoção cirúrgica e com acompanhamento de dois anos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o fibro-odontoma ameloblástico em sua integralidade, buscando expor ao cirurgião-dentista os melhores métodos de diagnóstico e tratamento para tal lesão.Termos de indexação: Diagnóstico.
