Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy can lead to issues like varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and leg swelling, prompting the need for interventions such as compression stockings.
- In a study with 60 pregnant women, those wearing compression stockings showed significantly less swelling in their legs compared to those not wearing them, especially in calf and ankle measurements.
- Most participants found the stockings comfortable and reported reduced leg symptoms, indicating that compression stockings are effective and well-received among pregnant women.
Introduction: HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B are diseases with major epidemiological and social impacts, with important effects in the dentistry context. This study aimed to compare the knowledge, presence, and manifestation of discriminatory and stigmatizing acts of dental surgeons, dental assistants, and dental students concerning social representations of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B.
Methodology: This cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out in Brazil with primary health care dental surgeons (n = 219) and dental assistants (n = 152) in 40 municipalities and dental students of a public university (n = 179).
Objectives: To analyze the effect of graduated compression stockings on the venous reflux in the lower limbs of pregnant women.
Method: A controlled randomized clinical trial was performed with sixty women: intervention group (n = 30), who used compression stockings, and control group (n = 30). Using duplex-ultrasound, the reflux time and peak reflux velocity in the great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein were analyzed.
Hepatitis B is a severe public health problem. The main world health centers have discussed it due to its pandemic proportion, high pathogenicity and infectivity. This study aimed to determine the immunization profile of dental surgeons - against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the Public Health System (PHS) through the detection of anti-HBsAg antibodies by immunochromatography and associations with dental surgeons' social and educational profile, factors related to professional knowledge and practices.
