Abstract

Abstract: Background: Metabolic syndrome refers to risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Hyperglycemia is a critical component contributing to the predictive power of the syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the results from the laparoscopic interposition of an ileum segment into the proximal jejunum for the treatment of metabolic syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a body mass index (BMI) lower than 35. Methods: Laparoscopic procedures were performed for 60 patients (24 women and 36 men) with a mean age of 51.7 ± 6.4 years (range, 27–66 years) and a mean BMI of 30.1 ± 2.7 (range, 23.6–34.4). All the patients had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) given at least 3 years previously and evidence of stable treatment using oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin, or both for at least 12 months. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 9.6 ± 4.6 years (range, 3–22 years). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed for all 60 patients. Arterial hypertension was diagnosed for 70% of the patients (mean number of drugs, 1.6) and hypertriglyceridemia for 70%. High-density lipoprotein was altered in 51.7% of the patients and the abdominal circumference in 68.3%. Two techniques were performed: ileal interposition (II) into the proximal jejunum and sleeve gastrectomy (II-SG) or ileal interposition associated with a diverted sleeve gastrectomy (II-DSG). Results: The II-SG procedure was performed for 32 patients and the II-DSG procedure for 28 patients. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 7.4 months (range, 3–19 months). The mean BMI was 23.8 ± 4.1 kg/m2, and 52 patients (86.7%) achieved adequate glycemic control. Hypertriglyceridemia was normalized for 81.7% of the patients. An high-density lipoprotein level higher than 40 for the men and higher than 50 for the women was achieved by 90.3% of the patients. The abdominal circumference reached was less than 102 cm for the men and 88 cm for the women. Arterial hypertension was controlled in 90.5% of the patients. For the control of metabolic syndrome, II-DSG was the more effective procedure. Conclusions: Laparoscopic II-SG and II-DSG seem to be promising procedures for the control of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A longer follow-up period is needed.

Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext The literature on sustainable management has seen a stark increase in publications in the last few years. A considerable number of papers were written on models or specific human resource practices that aim to provide clarity on what sustainable human resources entail. However, many publications seem to show that sustainable management focuses primarily on employer-driven outcomes and external stakeholders. In this chapter we therefore focus on employees and high-quality employment relationships through the lens of the psychological contract. We propose that by focusing on developing a high-quality psychological contract, companies will select the right contract terms in the form of sustainable human resource practices so as to realize the desired outcomes such as employee commitment and retention. After a short introduction on sustainability, we discuss psychological contracts and zoom in on three specific areas in which companies can make a real difference in generating high-quality relationships, thereby putting in place an employee-centered sustainable human resource management.

92. Functional orthopedic device type Sn20 – a therapeutic resource in the control of chronic temporomandibular dysfunction – case report

Author

Machado, C. A. O., Simamoto Junior, P.-C., Machado, C. A. O., and Simamoto Junior, P.-C.

Abstract

The literature indicates that patients with a history of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), who experience sudden occlusal changes, may worsen their parafunctional habits and develop TMD again. In this sense, the aim of this study is to present a clinical case of recurrent chronic TMD after oral rehabilitation (increase of vertical dimension in all teeth) using Simões Network 20 (SN20) functional orthopedic appliance as one of the resources therapies. The patient was female, 62 years old, and complained of disabling pain, anxiety symptoms, hypervigilant and history of TMD. The patient reported failure of other treatment modalities, including use of the smooth stabilizer device. The diagnosis was chronic TMD – primary osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint and related myofascial pain and orofacial migraine. Treatment included physical measurements, instructions, peripheral and central medication, AOF type SN20 (night use). After three months of therapy, the patient showed significant improvement with complete pain reduction. The use of the AOF SN20 together with conservative measures represents a valuable therapeutic modality for patients with chronic TMD.
