(2022-11-01) Silva, Wanderson Roberto da [UNESP]; Teixeira, Patrícia Angélica [UNESP]; Marôco, João; Ferreira, Eric Batista; Teodoro, Micaela Aparecida; Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL-MG); Social and Life Sciences (ISPA); Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL)
People can develop eating disorders due to excessive body image concerns. The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between attention to body shape, social physique anxiety, and personal characteristics in a sample of Brazilians. The secondary objective was to evaluate the correlation of the constructs with the participants’ body composition. First, 1795 individuals (70% female; Mage = 25.5 ± 6.6 years) completed the Attention to Body Shape Scale, the Social Physique Anxiety Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Then, 286 participants (58% female; Mage = 25.3 ± 5.7 years) underwent a bioimpedance exam to identify body composition. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate the relationship between the variables. The greater the attention to body shape, the greater the expectations of negative physical evaluation and the less comfort with physical presentation. Younger age, female gender, consumption of supplements/substances for body change, restrictive diets, physical inactivity, poor self-assessment of food quality, and overweight/obesity were related to negative body concerns. An expectation of negative physical evaluation was positively correlated with body fat and negatively with muscle mass. Comfort with physical presentation was negatively correlated with fat and positively with muscle. These results can support preventive strategies aimed at reducing eating disorders resulting from body image concerns.

(2022-11-01) Campos, Lucas Arrais [UNESP]; Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; da Silva, Wanderson Roberto [UNESP]; Peltomäki, Timo; dos Santos Pinto, Ary [UNESP]; Marôco, João; Tampere University; Tampere University Hospital; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Alfenas Federal University; University of Eastern Finland; Kuopio University Hospital; ISPA-Instituto Universitário
Aims 1. to elaborate a general model of physical appearance taking into account body image (BI) and orofacial appearance (OA) components; and 2. to evaluate the impact of BI and OA on life satisfaction among Brazilian adults. Methods This is a cross-sectional observational study. The cognitive, behavioral, affective, and satisfaction/ dissatisfaction aspects of BI, the satisfaction and psychosocial impact of OA, and life satisfaction were evaluated by self-reported psychometric scales. Principal Component Analysis and Parallel Analysis were performed. Structural equation models were elaborated to estimate the impact of BI and OA on life satisfaction. The fit of the models was verified and the significance of the path estimates (β) was evaluated using z-tests (α = 5%). Results A total of 1,940 individuals participated in the study (age: mean = 24.8, standard deviation = 5.7 years; females = 70.1%). In the male sample, three physical appearance factors were retained (OA, cognitive and behavioral components of BI, and affective and satisfaction/dissatisfaction components of BI). In the female sample, two factors were retained (OA and all components of BI). All factors had significant impact on life satisfaction (β = |0.26|-|0.48|, p<0.001) in both samples. Individuals dissatisfied with BI and OA had lower levels of life satisfaction. For men, the affective and satisfaction components of BI had a greater impact on life satisfaction (β = 0.48, p<0.001) than the other factors (β =] -0.30;-0.25[, p<0.001). For women, both BI and OA had a similar impact (BI: β = -0.30, p<0.001; OA: β = -0.32, p<0.001). Conclusion BI and OA formed distinct clusters in the physical appearance evaluation. Physical appearance was perceived differently by men and women, fostering discussion about the sociocultural construction of the body. BI and OA had a significant impact on life satisfaction and should be considered in assessment and treatment protocols.

Dental trauma is a public health problem because of its high prevalence rates and treatment costs and for affecting mainly younger individuals. Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the variables associated with dental trauma and its influence on oral health-related quality of life among 7th-grade students of public elementary schools. Methods: The data was collected with semi-structured and self-administered questionnaires and an intraoral clinical examination (n = 204). The variables collected regarded dental trauma, lip coverage, overjet, oral health-related quality of life (Child Perceptions Questionnaire - CPQ11-14 ISF: 8), and sociodemographic profile. Association tests and the Mann-Whitney test were performed at a 5% significance level. Results: Dental trauma occurred in 12.3% of students, 94.6% had adequate lip coverage, and the mean overjet was 2.7 mm (±2.0). Sex was the only variable with a statistically significant association with dental trauma (p = 0.021). There was no statistically significant difference in the CPQ11-14 ISF: 8 score between students with and without dental trauma (p = 0.136). Conclusions: Dental trauma was significantly associated with sex and did not impact the oral health-related quality of life of the students.
Natural versus synthetic curcuminoids as photosensitizers: Photobleaching and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy evaluation
(2023-06-01) Melo, Nicolas Junhiti de; Tovar, Johan S.D.; Dovigo, Lívia Nordi [UNESP]; Dias, Lucas D.; Bagnato, Vanderlei Salvador; Inada, Natalia Mayumi; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Texas A&M University
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been studied as an alternative to combat bacterial resistance to the commonly used antibiotics. aPDT requires the use of a photosensitizer and curcumin is one of the more promising, though the usage of natural curcumin can be inconsistent in certain biomedical uses due to differences in soil condition and turmeric age, besides a large quantity of the plant is necessary to obtain useful amounts of the actual molecule. As such, a synthetic analogue is preferred as it is pure, and its components are better characterized. The present work studied photophysical differences in both natural and synthetic curcumin using photobleaching experiments and searched for whether differences existed in aPDT studies against Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed a faster O2 consumption and a singlet oxygen's generation rate lower by the synthetic curcumin, in comparison with the natural derivative. However, no statistical difference was observed when inactivating S. aureus and these results were following a concentration-based pattern. Thus, the use of synthetic curcumin is indicated, as it can be obtained in controlled amounts and with less environmental impact. Although there are small changes in a photophysical context comparing natural versus synthetic curcumins, we did not observe statistical differences in the photoinactivation of S.aureus bacteria, and reproducibility in biomedical contexts is better achieved with the synthetic analogue.

(2023-12-01) Kuhnen, Barbara [UNESP]; Fernandes, Clemente Maia da Silva [UNESP]; Barros, Franciéllen de [UNESP]; Scarso Filho, José [UNESP]; Gonçalves, Marcelo [UNESP]; Serra, Mônica da Costa [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
Background: Age is important in forming the uniqueness of individuals. When chronological age is not available, age estimation is required, particularly in court cases. The mineralization chronology of permanent teeth is a valuable tool for age estimation of subadults. This study aimed to evaluate the mineralization stages of permanent teeth of Brazilian subjects from imaging exams, using the classification by Moorrees et al. modified by the authors, to verify the existence of correlation between the chronology of mineralization stages and sex and to prepare numerical tables of the chronology of dental mineralization stages for Brazilian individuals. Methods: Digital panoramic radiographs of 1100 living Brazilian individuals of both sexes, aged between 2 and 25 years, born between 1990 and 2018, from the image bank of a Dental Radiographs and Documentations clinic located in the city of Araraquara, SP, Brazil. The images were evaluated according to the level of crown and root development and classified according to the stages proposed by Moorrees et al. (Am J Phys Anthropol 21: 205–213, 1963) adapted by the authors. All analyses were performed in the R software. Descriptive and exploratory analyses were performed on all data. For intra- and inter-examiner analyses, the rate of agreement and Kappa statistics at a 95% confidence interval were used. Kappa was interpreted according to Landis and Koch. Results: Only upper and lower canines showed significant differences between the sexes (p < 0.05), with higher average ages for men. The findings were presented in tables, as well as age estimates with 95% confidence intervals for each mineralization stage and each tooth. Conclusion: In the present study, we evaluated the mineralization stages of permanent teeth of Brazilian subjects from digital panoramic radiographs and found no correlation between the chronology of mineralization stages and sex, except for canines. From the obtained results, numerical tables of the chronology of dental mineralization stages were prepared.
Wittgenstein on Dreaming and Skepticism
(2022-11-01) Segatto, Antonio Ianni [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
In this paper I aim to elucidate Wittgenstein’s claim that the so-called dream argument is senseless. Unlike other interpreters, who understand the sentence “I am dreaming” as contradictory or self-defeating, I intend to elucidate in what sense one should understand it as senseless or, more precisely, as nonsensical. In this sense, I propose to understand the above-mentioned claim in light of Wittgenstein’s criticism of skepticism from the Tractatus logico-philosophicus to his last writings. I intend to show that the words “I am dreaming” are nonsensical in the same sense as the alleged proposition “There are physical objects” or the expression of doubt about the existence of external objects.
Maxillary sinuses’ height/width/depth of Brazilian subjects and influence of sex, age, skin color, and nutritional status: A CBCT study
(2022-12-01) Barros, Franciéllen de [UNESP]; Fernandes, Clemente Maia da Silva [UNESP]; Kuhnen, Barbara [UNESP]; Scarso Filho, José [UNESP]; Gonçalves, Marcelo [UNESP]; Serra, Mônica da Costa [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
The purpose of this study was to perform linear (two-dimensional) measurements of maxillary sinuses (MS) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, analyze the influence of sex, age, skin color, and nutritional status, and verify differences between the right and left sides. The sample consisted of CBCT images of 238 living Brazilian subjects (139 women and 99 men). Linear measurements of maximal height, width, and depth of the right and left MS were performed with the DDS-Pro® 2.12.0_2021 software (DPP Systems, Czestochowa, Poland). All data were submitted to the statistical analysis to validate potential significant differences (p > 0.05) for sex and age and correlation to skin color and BMI. The TEM, rTEM, and R were used for intra- and inter-examiner assessments. There were differences between the sides, with significantly higher measurements on the right side for MS height and on the left side for width and depth. The MS width was only greater (p > 0.05) in men. Adult individuals (18 years or older) had higher MS height measurements than the other age groups. The measurements for skin color and BMI did not show significant differences, and it was impossible to confirm a relationship between the parameters measured. The measurements of MS height and width showed significant differences between the right and left sides and anatomic variability between the sexes for MS width, which can help analyze sexual dimorphism. There were also significant differences between the age groups. There was no significant difference in the measurements for skin color and nutritional status.

(Portuguese Soc Occupational Safety & Hygiene, 2022-01-01) Pazos, Julia Margato [UNESP]; Oliveira, Caroline Anselmi de [UNESP]; Wajngarten, Danielle [UNESP]; Nordi Sasso Garcia, Patricia Petromilli [UNESP]; Arezes, P.; Baptista, J. S.; Melo, R.; Barroso, M.; Branco, J. C.; Carneiro, P.; Colim, A.; Costa, N.; Costa, S.; Duarte, J.; Guedes, J.; Perestrelo, G.; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
This study evaluated dental students' perceptions of the application of ergonomic principles during pre-clinical activities. The sample consisted of second-year undergraduate students (n=51). Data was collected using a semi-structured open-ended interview on the challenges to adopting ergonomic posture. The data was analyzed using the discourse of the collective subject (DCS) with QualiQuantiSoft (R). The interviews revealed that most students (54.9%) reported maintaining a distance of 30 to 40 cm between the patient's mouth and the operator's eyes as the most difficult technique to put into practice, particularly when attempting to visualize the operating field (49.0%). The workplace-related factor found to create the greatest risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders was the dental mannequin (31.4%). Most of the students reported that the degree of difficulty of the procedures they were performing negatively influenced their adoption of proper working posture due to the difficulty in visualization (35.3%), to their focus on the work being performed (27.5%), and to their difficulty in accessing the operating field (25.5%). It was concluded that the greatest challenge faced by the students was found to be the ability to maintain an adequate distance between their eyes and the patients' mouths due to the need to visualize the operating field.
Social movements in the context of crisis: waste picker organizations as collaborative public partners in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023-01-31) Gutberlet, Jutta; Azevedo, Adalberto Mantovani Martiniano de; Morais, Leandro [UNESP]; Bacic, Miguel Juan; Mesquita, Maryellen Silva de; Univ Victoria UVic; Univ Victoria; Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)
Social movements are purposeful, organized groups of people addressing the creation and reproduction of inequality, rights and access issues, seeking to transform sectoral policies. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, social movements have been acting in articulation with government and private companies and through other actions formulated within their networks, as service deliverers to the poor and vulnerable populations most heavily affected, often filling a gap created by unfulfilled policies. Our research with waste picker organizations in Brazil illustrates how their struggle for recognition has taken action in this context. Academic and government documents, social media and online material (blogs, posts, websites, etc.) and virtual meetings inform this research. We found that multiple actors have contributed to mitigate the urgent needs of waste pickers during the pandemic, but that at the same time, pre-existing challenges in waste management and the lack of wide-ranging social and economic inclusion have been further intensified.
Use of animals in dental research: Trends and ethical reflections
(2022-01-01) Lopes, Camila Soares [UNESP]; Fernandes, Clemente Maia S [UNESP]; Barbosa, Aline Cristina S [UNESP]; Serra, Mônica da Costa [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
This study aimed to survey and analyze the profile of experimental dental research in animals, verifying its trends. We evaluated studies developed with the use of animals in vivo, published in 10 dental journals with high impact factors, from 2015 to 2020. From 1652 studies retrieved, 594 involved in vivo experimentation on animals and were analyzed further. Rats were the species most used and with the highest mean of animals per study. Ferrets, although presenting the lowest rate of publications, had the second highest mean of animals per study. Periodontics was the dental specialty with the highest number of publications, while oral rehabilitation had the lowest number. The data on the institution responsible for reviewing animal research protocols approval, sample size, anesthesia and analgesia were provided in 93.10%, 83%, 70.54% and 23.74% of studies, respectively. In 53% of studies, euthanasia was specified and anesthetic overdose was the method most used. Over the period analyzed, there was a reduction in animal studies in vivo, and periodontics was the specialty that most used this experimental model. Although most studies mentioned approval by an ethics committee, some publications neglected to mention sample size, anesthesia and euthanasia. The omission of essential information may raise scientific and ethical concerns.

Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of the Academic Experience Satisfaction Scale (ESEA) applied to Pharmacy and Dentistry students and investigate the effect of demographic and course-related characteristics on the ESEA factors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Academic satisfaction was assessed by the ESEA. Construct validity was measured by confirmatory factor analysis (CFI, TLI, RMSEA). The composite reliability (CR) and the ordinal α were estimated. Structural model was elaborated considering demographic and course-related characteristics as the independent variable and ESEA factors as the dependent variables. The model fit and path estimates significance (β) were evaluated (z test; α = 5%). Results: 544 students participated in the study (70.0% female; mean age: 21.4 ± 2.4 years; 52.4% dental students). ESEA showed adequate fit to the data (CFI = 0.90; TLI = 0.90; RMSEA = 0.064, CR and α ≥ 0.88). In general, students reported being satisfied with their academic experience. Dental students and those from the first and second years of the course showed greater satisfaction with the academic experience. Sex did not have a significant impact on any of the scale's factors. Conclusion: ESEA produced valid and reliable data. Course-related characteristics, but not demographic characteristics, significantly affected the academic experience of students.
Coping Strategies and Their Relationship With Subjective Distress due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil
(2022-01-01) Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; Campos, Lucas Arrais [UNESP]; Martins, Bianca Gonzalez [UNESP]; Marôco, João; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Tampere University; Tampere University Hospital; and Life Sciences (ISPA)
Objectives: To identify the strategies used by Brazilian adults for coping with the COVID-19 pandemic and to verify the effect of these strategies on subjective distress. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study with online data collection in May/June 2020, November/December 2020, and May/June 2021. The BriefCOPE Inventory and the Impact of Event Scale (IES-R) were used. The prevalence of strategies used at different time points was estimated with a 95% confidence interval and compared with a z-test. A multiple logistic regression model was constructed and the odds ratio (OR, 95%CI) was calculated to verify the probability of subjective distress according to the coping strategy used. Results: Younger individuals had a lower prevalence of adaptive strategies, which increased significantly with age. Participants with higher income levels had a higher prevalence of adaptive strategies, as did those who were never diagnosed with a mental health disorder. The prevalence of using only maladaptive strategies ranged from 6.1% to 5.4% (p > 0.05). The use of problem-centered strategies (Active Coping and Planning), venting of emotions, and substance use increased with time, while acceptance and behavioral disengagement decreased. In general, the population used problem-centered strategies, but the high prevalence of problem avoidance was striking. Positive reinterpretation and acceptance were protective factors for subjective distress, whereas maladaptive strategies increased the chance of distress. The presence of a negative valence component (problem- or emotion-centered) increased the chance of subjective distress, whereas strategies based on Problem Solving acted as a protective factor. Conclusion: Coping strategies were significantly associated to subjective distress and have changed since the beginning of the pandemic. Strategies focused on emotion regulation may be relevant to minimize distress.

Long-term effects of simulated gastrijuice alternated with brushing on hardness, substance loss, flexural strength and reliability of CAD-CAM monolithic materials
(2022-01-01) Oliveira, Jailson Junior Rodrigues [UNESP]; Cruz, Marlon Eduardo Menezes da [UNESP]; Dovigo, Lívia Nordi [UNESP]; Fonseca, Renata Garcia [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate, over a simulated 5-year period, the effect of simulated gastric juice alternated with brushing on CAD-CAM monolithic materials considering microhardness, substance loss, flexural strength, and reliability of the materials. Methodology: Blocks from Lava Ultimate (LU), Vita Enamic (VE), IPS Empress CAD (EMP), IPS e.max CAD (EMAX), and Vita Suprinity (VS) were milled into cylinders and sliced into disks. The EMAX and VS were crystallized, and all specimens were polished with silicon carbide papers and allocated as follows: 1) artificial saliva + brushing or 2) simulated gastric juice (0.113% hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution in deionized water, pH 1.2) + brushing, simulating 1, 3, and 5 years of clinical function. Each year of clinical function was simulated by three repetitions of immersion for 3 hours in artificial saliva or simulated gastric juice followed by 1,217 brushing cycles. The microhardness and substance loss were evaluated at baseline (T0) and at each year by using a Vickers hardness tester and an analytical balance. The biaxial flexural strength (BFS) test was performed in a mechanical testing machine at the end of the 5th year. Weibull modulus was calculated from the BFS data. Results: The microhardness of the LU was not influenced by the treatment, whereas that of the other materials, in certain years, was significantly lower in the gastric juice + brushing groups in comparison with artificial saliva + brushing groups. In general, the materials did not present a significant change in microhardness over time, for either of the treatments. The LU alone showed greater substance loss in the gastric juice + brushing groups for every year. In both treatments, the LU, VE, and EMP exhibited a significant increase in the substance loss over time. The treatment did not affect the BFS of the materials. The gastric juice + brushing decreased the reliability of the VE. Conclusions: All materials were somehow impaired by the gastric juice + brushing in at least one of the evaluated parameters, except for the BFS. However, in a deeper analysis, the LU would be the least indicated materials, followed by VE, for patients with eating disorders.
Three-dimensional analysis of the maxillary sinus according to sex, age, skin color, and nutritional status: A study with live Brazilian subjects using cone-beam computed tomography
(2022-07-01) Barros, Franciéllen de [UNESP]; Fernandes, Clemente Maia da Silva [UNESP]; Kuhnen, Barbara [UNESP]; Scarso Filho, José [UNESP]; Gonçalves, Marcelo [UNESP]; Gonçalves, Victor [UNESP]; Serra, Mônica da Costa [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
Objective: To perform three-dimensional measurements (volume and area) of the maxillary sinus, from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, and to assess potential differences between the left and right sides and a correlation of the measurements to sex, age, skin color, and nutritional status. Design: CBCT images of 161 living Brazilian subjects of both sexes (89 women and 72 men) were used, and three-dimensional measurements of volume and area were made with the beta version of the DDS-Pro™ 2.14.2_2022 software (DPP Systems, Czestochowa, Poland). The inter- and intra-examiner reproducibility of measurements was evaluated with TEM, rTEM, and R. Results: Both maxillary sinus volume and area did not show significant differences between the left and right sides and between the sexes. Volume and area were significantly lower in the age group from 6 to 11 years than in the other two groups (p < 0.05). The measurements obtained for maxillary sinus volume and area were significantly higher in white individuals (p < 0.05), but they did not show significant differences (p > 0.05) regarding nutritional status (considering the body mass index - BMI). Conclusion: There were no statistically significant differences between the sexes, which does not allow recommending the use of maxillary sinus volume and area measurements to analyze sexual dimorphism, and the same occurs for BMI. However, such measures can help to estimate the age and skin color of individuals.
Use of oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) in different contexts. what is being measured?
(2021-12-01) Campos, Lucas Arrais [UNESP]; Peltomäki, Timo; Marôco, João; Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; Tampere University; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); University of Eastern Finland; Kuopio University Hospital; Tampere University Hospital; Social and Life Sciences (ISPA)
The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) has been used to assess the impact that oral health problems can have on an individual’s life. Different theoretical models were proposed to evaluate the results. The aims of this study were to evaluate the fit of different factorial models of the OHIP-14 to non-dental patients (NDP) and dental patients (DP) samples from Brazil and Finland and to estimate the differential functioning of the items in the OHIP-14 between the samples. Two studies were conducted, one in Brazil and the other in Finland, composed of five samples (Brazil—Sample 1 (S1): DP, n = 434, age: 25.3 [SD = 6.3] years; S2: NDP, n = 1486, age: 24.7 [SD = 5.6] years; S3: DP, n = 439, age: 29.0 [SD = 6.7] years; Finland—S4: DP, n = 482, age: 26.3 [SD = 5.4] years; S5: NDP, n =·2425, age: 26.7 [DP = 5.5] years). The fit of the OHIP-14 models to the data was estimated using a confirmatory strategy (validity based on the internal structure). Differential item functioning (DIF) between samples was estimated. For NDP from both countries, the response pattern severely violated the normality assumption in six items of the OHIP-14, indicating that the instrument does not fit for these samples. For DP, the model with the best fit was unifactorial, which deals with the estimation of the general impact of oral health on an individual’s life, without addressing specific dimensions. Configural invariance was refuted between samples. DIF indicated that the characteristic of the sample (NDP and DP) in both countries interfered in the response given to the items, with the response level being more adequate for the latent PD trait. The validity of data related to the impact of oral health problems on an individual’s life was confirmed through a unifactorial model. OHIP-14 works properly in DP samples and was limited in NDP samples, being also influenced by cultural context and age.

(2021-01-01) Santos, Priscila Carvalho [UNESP]; Da Silva, Wanderson Roberto [UNESP]; Marôco, João; Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada
The study's objectives were to adapt the Salzburg Stress Eating Scale (SSES) to Brazilian Portuguese, estimate its psychometric properties in a sample of young adults, and verify (separately for each sex) the relationship between age and BMI and dietary intake during stress. Adaptation of the SSES to Portuguese was performed according to the consolidated protocol. The psychometric properties were estimated for each sex based on factor and convergent validities and reliability. Invariance was tested in independent subsamples for each sex. The relationship between age and bod mass index (BMI) and dietary intake during stress was investigated for each sex using structural equation modeling. Prevalence of individuals in categories that represented maintenance, reduction, or increases in dietary intake in the face of stress was calculated. Participation in the study included 1,030 individuals (61.8% women) with a mean age of 25.5 (SD = 5.3) years. The original model of the SSES presented good fit for the female sample, but for the male sample one item was excluded and a residual correlation was inserted. These models were invariant in independent subsamples. High BMI influenced dietary intake in the face of stress. Men maintained their habitual diet, while women increased their dietary intake during stress. The Portuguese version of the SSES will be useful for investigating dietary intake during stress in Brazil. Different models of SESS were adjusted for each sex. BMI was a significant variable for assessing dietary intake in the face of stress.

(2021-01-01) Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; Campos, Lucas Arrais [UNESP]; Martins, Bianca Gonzalez [UNESP]; Valadão Dias, Filomena; Ruano, Rodrigo; Maroco, João; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); PsiRelacional (Relational Psychoanalysis Association); Mayo Clinic; and Life Sciences; Tampere University
Objective: To identify people with history of mental health disorders before the COVID-19 pandemic in the Brazilian population and estimate the prevalence of mood swings and the subjective distress of the pandemic among individuals with or without mental health disorders. Methods: Through an online survey, participants were asked about presence or absence of mental health disorders. In addition, they answered the Brunel Mood Scale and the Impact of Event Scale. The mean percentile of mood swing indicators and psychological impact scores were estimated, and data were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: 13,248 people participated (70.5% women, mean age 35.4 years, 31.2% with history of mental health disorder). Women and younger people were more likely to be diagnosed with mental health disorder. All participants had significant changes in mood due to the pandemic. Anger, depressed mood, mental confusion, and fatigue were higher among individuals with bipolar disorder or with combined disorders. Individuals with mental health disorders had a greater subjective distress, especially the group with bipolar disorder (OR = 4.89 [3.64–6.56]) and combined disorders (OR = 6.89 [5.21–9.10]). Conclusion: Individuals previously diagnosed with mental health disorders at some point in life are more vulnerable to psychological impact from the pandemic.

(2012-01-01) Valente, Vitor Bonetti [UNESP]; Arita, Welton Massato [UNESP]; Gonçalves, Pedro César Garcia [UNESP]; Campos, Juliana Álvares Duarte Bonini [UNESP]; Capote, Ticiana Sidorenko de Oliveira [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
The aim of this study was to analyze the anatomotopographic location of the mandibular foramen in the right and left ramus, and to verify the influence of the amount of dental alveoli on the foramen position. Thirty-five adult dry human mandibles of Araraquara Dental School, UNESP - São Paulo State University were assessed, with or without dental alveoli. Measurements were obtained, using a ruler and a digital caliper. The following distances were measured: FI - distance between the lowest point of the mandibular incisure and the mandibular foramen (F point); FB - distance between the mandibular base and F point; FP - distance between the posterior margin of the ramus and F point; FA - distance between the anterior margin of the ramus and F point; FT - distance between the apex of the retromolar trigone and F point. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare each measurement according to hemi-arch, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the influence of the presence of alveoli on the measures. For multiple comparison, Dunn's method was used. There was no statistically significant difference in the location of the mandibular foramen when compared to the right and left hemi-arches. The amount of dental alveoli influenced, significantly, only on FA and FP distances. Thus, it was concluded that the right and left mandibular ramus showed symmetry in the location of the mandibular foramen, and the amount of alveoli influenced on the distances of the anterior and posterior margins of the mandibular ramus, in relation to the mandibular foramen.
