Prevalence, Circumstances, and Risk Factors of Falls Among Community Dwelling Members of University of the Third Age.

The transition from adolescence to adulthood involves a variety of physical, behavioral, and social transformations, often including tobacco use. Because understanding smoking at this stage is important for tobacco control, we aimed to analyze the prevalence of cigarette smoking in the Brazilian youth population. This study included participants aged 16-25 years from all Brazilian capitals.

Using Voice Change as an Indicator of Dysphagia: A Systematic Review.

Voice change post-swallow, observed during a clinical swallow examination, is often used as a clinical indicator of dysphagia risk. However, there has been limited research that evaluated the level of agreement between voice change and swallow dysfunction reported to date. This systematic review aims to investigate existing evidence relating to the relationship between vocal change post-swallow and swallow deficits identified on a Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS).

Sexual behavior and its association with persistent oral lesions: analysis of the POP-Brazil study.

Objectives: To investigate whether the presence of persistent self-reported oral lesions (PSOLs) is associated with sexual behaviors and with the presence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in individuals aged 16-25 years in the state capitals of Brazil.

Materials And Methods: Data from the POP-Brazil study were analyzed. An association analysis was performed by Poisson regression with the presence of PSOLs as the outcome.

Rehabilitation strategies in maxillofacial trauma: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate rehabilitation strategies to reduce trismus, pain, and edema in patients with maxillofacial trauma.

Methods: An electronic search in main databases was performed, including studies published until November 2017. Clinical trials aiming to investigate therapeutic techniques to improve mandibular range of motion and to reduce pain and edema compared to other treatments were included.

Interventions for the Management of Denture Stomatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of different interventions for treating or preventing denture stomatitis (DS).

Design: Systematic review.

Setting: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing any agent or procedure prescribed to treat or prevent DS in adults.

Accuracy of p57 compared with genotyping for the diagnosis of complete hydatidiform mole: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Distinguishing hydatidiform moles (HMs) from non-molar specimens and the subclassification of HM are important because complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) is associated with an increased risk of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. However, diagnosis based solely on morphology has poor interobserver reproducibility. Recent studies have demonstrated that the use of p57 immunostaining improves diagnostic accuracy for CHM.
