Emerging Challenges of Mpox Transmission: An In-depth Scoping Review and Evidence Mapping on Breastfeeding Practices in South America.

Background: In 2022, a marked escalation in Monkeypox (Mpox) cases was observed in nonendemic regions, notably South America, despite the virus being traditionally endemic to Central and West Africa. This unexpected shift necessitated a deeper exploration of the novel transmission dynamics, including breastfeeding, given the emerging evidence of potential horizontal and vertical Mpox transmission during mother-infant interactions.

Research Aim: The study aimed to critically evaluate existing evidence on potential horizontal and vertical Mpox transmission related to breastfeeding and to assess guidelines in South American countries regarding Mpox prevention during breastfeeding.

Swallowing capacity and gravity of the laryngotracheal aspiration risk in atypical cerebellar stroke: case report.

This case report aimed to evaluate the swallowing capacity and the severity of the risk of laryngotracheal aspiration of a 52-year-old female patient with atypical and rare stroke, with major injury in the cerebellar pathway. In order to measure swallowing capacity and risk of aspiration a routine clinical assessment used in the speech therapy clinic was performed and two valid clinical tests were used: Massey Bedside Swallowing Screen (MBSS) and Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). After evaluation with the clinical tests, it was observed that the patient had reduced swallowing capacity, performance characterized as pathological, 100% dysfunction in the water swallowing test (MBSS), presence of choking, coughing, change in vocal quality and anterior escape.

Can rapid maxillary expansion affect speech sound production in growing patients? A systematic review.

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) may change speech sound parameters due to the enlargement of oral and nasal cavities. This study aimed to systematically review the current evidence on speech changes as a side effect of RME. An electronic search was conducted in nine databases, and two of them accessed the 'grey literature'.

Assessment of the tongue frenulum in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: Pre- and post-frenectomy findings.

Aim: To report the pre- and post-frenectomy findings of a patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

Methods And Results: Clinical case report of a patient with a confirmed genetic-molecular diagnosis of the referred syndrome. The minor was evaluated and reassessed by the protocol for the evaluation of the tongue's frenulum for babies in two moments: pre-surgical and 2 months after the frenectomy.

Speech-language disorders in children with congenital Zika virus syndrome: A systematic review.

Introduction: Having verified the true association between the Zika virus and the occurrence of microcephaly, studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of the infection on fetal development. Congenital Zika virus syndrome is a currently known condition but little addressed regarding speech, language, and hearing disorders in children.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of speech, language, and hearing disorders in children with congenital Zika virus syndrome.

[Effects of Speech Therapy in Hospitalized Patients with Post-Stroke Dysphagia: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies].

Introduction: Since dysphagia may be one of the brain post-stroke consequences, the objective of this study was to analyze the average recovery time of patients with cerebrovascular accident and dysphagia subjected to speech therapy in a hospital bed.

Material And Methods: Systematic review performed following the 'Preferred Reporting Items is Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses' instructions. The search was performed in different electronic databases, without restriction of time and language.

The influence of teriparatide in induced tooth movement: A systematic review.

Background: Teriparatide is a synthetic drug similar than PTH (parathyroid hormone), which is currently used as long-term treatment option for patients with bone chronic diseases, as osteoporosis; and this drug can interfere in a positive way in orthodontic movement. Objectives: The medical literature was assessed in the present systematic review in order to determine the level of scientific evidence supporting the influence of teriparatide in induced tooth movement.

Material And Methods: The PRISMA Checklist was followed in this systematic review.

Efficiency of low-level laser therapy within induced dental movement: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The low level laser is widely used in Dentistry, in particular, to decrease pain and increase the speed of tooth movement. This study was to perform a systematic literature search to investigate the effectiveness of low level laser and low energy density therapy of the induced tooth movement. This research was performed following the PRISMA instructions and was registered in the PROSPERO.

Influence of the breathing pattern on the learning process: a systematic review of literature.

Introduction: Mouth breathing leads to negative consequences on quality of life, especially in school-age children.

Objective: To determine whether the breathing pattern influences children's learning process.

Methods: This systematic review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) instructions, with no restrictions regarding the year of publication and language, created based on the clinical question formulation according to the Problem/Patient/Population, Intervention/Indicator, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) strategy: "Is the mouth-breathing child more likely to have learning disabilities when compared to nasal breathers?" in the SciELO, PubMed, LILACS, and Scopus electronic databases.

Late auditory event-related evoked potential (P300) in Down's syndrome patients.

Unlabelled: Down syndrome is caused by a trisomy of chromosome 21 and is associated with central auditory processing deficit, learning disability and, probably, early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Aim: To evaluate the latencies and amplitudes of evoked late auditory potential related to P300 events and their changes in young adults with Down's syndrome.

Materials And Methods: Prospective case study.
