    Cancer treatment in determination of hearing loss
    (Assoc brasileira otorrinolaringologia & cirurgia cervicofacial, 2016) de Oliveira, Priscila Feliciano; Oliveira, Camila Silva; Andrade, Joice Santos; do Carmo Santos, Tamara Figueiredo; de Oliveira-Barreto, Aline Cabral [UNIFESP]
    Introduction: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy in oncology have repercussions in hearing health, and can damage structures of the inner ear. These repercussions usually, result in a bilateral and irreversible hearing loss. Objective: To identify sensorineural hearing toss cases with complaints of tinnitus and difficulty in speech understanding and investigate their relationship with the types of chemotherapy and radiotherapy the patients received. Methods: Cross-sectional, clinical, observational, analytical, historical cohort study of 58 subjects treated in a public hospital in the state of Sergipe, diagnosed with neoplasia. The subjects were submitted to anamnesis, conventional pure tone audiometry, and speech recognition threshold. Results: Of the 116 ears, 25.9% presented sensorioneural hearing loss characterized by changes in high frequencies. There was a positive correlation between hearing loss and the association of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (p= 0.035

    Escabiose na cabeça e pescoço: nós a estamos reconhecendo?
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, 2008-02-01) Kovacs, Fabiana Thais; Silveira, Vera Magalhães da [UNIFESP]; Bandeira, Aurilene Monteiro; Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Departamento de Dermatologia; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Departamento de Medicina Tropical
    Although the head and neck are known to be affected by scabies in older children and adults, the literature is quite scarce on this topic. A study with 124 patients aged 5 years or older with classic scabies was carried out to investigate, describe and photographically register lesions on head and neck. These sites were affected in 35.8% of cases, and the lesions more often observed were crusts, erythematous papules with or without excoriations and crusts, and scaling around lesions.

    Influence of head posture on the visual acuity of children with nystagmus
    (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2014-01-01) Costa, Ana Carla Ramos Vieira da [UNIFESP]; Lopes, Márcia Caires Bestilleiro [UNIFESP]; Nakanami, Célia Regina [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Purpose: Evaluate the relationship between the postural alignment of the head and possible interference in the view of children. Methods: We evaluated 11 children between 2 and 7 years of age of both sexes, with the visually impaired, who had nystagmus and head lock position. The test Lea Grating Acuity Test® was used to collect measurements of visual acuity. This applied on two occasions: with and without postural alignment of the head. For reliability of the postural alignment of the head, the slopes were measured by Fisiologic® software. Results: The children had a poorer performance after physiological postural alignment. This poor performance is possible due to loss of position lock nystagmus to gain postural alignment, said to be ideal. Postural compensations were observed, and sharply increased eyestrain. Conclusion: The pursuit of traditional postural alignment affect the visual response of children with visual impairments.

    Morfologia comparada da cabeça de Pentatomidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2015-07-29) Barreiro, Maira dos Santos [UNIFESP]; Schwertner, Cristiano Feldens [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The heteropteran head presents a high specialization level, making this group known for having, among other features, their piercing and sucking mouthparts in the anterior part of the head. Pentatomidae is the forth most diversified stink bug family. Its head is similar to those of all heteropterous, with variation on the size and shape of its structures, as the mandibular plates, clipeous, bucula and labium, with are very important to differentiate the Pentatomidae subfamilies and tribes. These variations gives this group numerous specializations and the head presents evidences of the evolutionary success of these organisms. The understanding of the head morphology and associated structures is extremely important to amplify the knowledge of this group, assists the taxonomy and provide essential information to investigate the phylogenetic relationships and the diversity of feeding habitats of Pentatomidae. This work aims to understand how the morphololgical variation ocurr in this tagma and to check if it is possible to recognize lineages through the head morphology and understand how the morphological variation is present in this tagma. To achieve this, the head morphology was compared among the Pentatomidae genus and was described for the recognized groups. Forty one important characters were raised and it was possible to elucidate some question about the head delimitation, the development of the structures and witch character describe them better. Based on the detailed characterization of the structures of the head it was possible to highlight the morphological variations of the head and understand which features are important in order to define and differentiate the Pentatomidae groups. Twenty-two lineages recognized by the head morphology are congruent with the subfamilies and tribes of the current Pentatomidae classification. Four more groups were recognized through groupping of genus that share the morphology of the head. Characteristics that define the groups were determined and all head structures were important for the group?s differentiation and definition at least in one character.
