Article Synopsis
- - This review investigates the prevalence of periodontitis in Latin America and the Caribbean by analyzing 35 studies from 12 countries, highlighting significant variations in disease rates based on factors like age group and methodology used.
- - It was found that severe periodontitis affects 5.8% to 49.7% of adults, with 15.3% of adolescents experiencing moderate to severe forms, alongside notable cases of gingival bleeding in younger populations.
- - The review emphasizes the need for standardized research methods and collaborations between countries to effectively monitor and understand periodontitis, calling for multicenter studies to establish better epidemiological data in the region.
Objectives: The present study aimed at exploring the association between eveningness and lifestyle-related variables, that is, body mass index, alcohol, and cigarette consumption, in adults (18-40years), focusing on the possible moderator effect of age and the role of sleep disturbances and circadian misalignment (social jetlag).
Methods: A web-based survey was administered to 437 participants, covering demographics, lifestyle-related variables, chronotype, sleep quality, and daytime sleepiness. A subset of 206 participants wore a wrist actigraph for a week, allowing the creation of a sleep health index within the RU-SATED framework.
This study, employing an interim analysis, investigates the effects of the Dermamecum protocol, a structured educational and tailored approach that stratifies ostomy patients into risk paths (green, yellow, red) based on pre-operative and post-operative characteristics. The green path indicates a low risk of peristomal skin complications (PSCs), focusing on sustaining healthy behaviours and basic stoma care. The yellow path represents a moderate risk, emphasizing the need for patients to self-monitor and recognize early signs of complications.

Method: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection, identified by combining databases available on institutional websites and structured according to indicators from the World Health Organization's "National Health Workforce Accounts". The study considered nursing professionals at senior level (nurses) and middle level (nursing auxiliaries and technicians).
