Introduction: Visual impairment hinders the perception of food debris and bacterial plaque, compromising the effectiveness of brushing and favoring the development of carious lesions. Objective: To analyze the link between visual impairment, oral hygiene habits, and the prevalence of dental caries in this population, suggesting educational or technological actions. Methodology: This qualitative, bibliographic study brings together studies published between 2019 and 2025, available in the Google Scholar, SciELO, PubMed, and BVS databases. The descriptors “visual impairment,” “dental caries,” “oral hygiene,” and “inclusion” were used. The inclusion criteria considered full texts, in Portuguese and English, that directly addressed the theme. Results: The results show that, in addition to sensory barriers, social factors such as inequality, misinformation, and the absence of public policies hinder this population's access to dental services. The research identifies promising strategies, such as the use of assistive technologies (tactile models, Braille instructions) and adapted educational programs. It also highlights the importance of training health professionals to meet the specific needs of these individuals. Conclusion: It is concluded that promoting oral health for people with visual impairment requires integrated, accessible, and personalized actions that ensure autonomy, inclusion, and equity in dental care.

Introducción. El síndrome de Duane es un trastorno congénito de la motilidad ocular causado por una inervación aberrante del músculo recto lateral, se clasifica en tres tipos según la restricción del movimiento ocular y su baja incidencia y variabilidad clínica justifican su estudio. Objetivo. Describir la presentación del síndrome de Duane en una paciente pediátrica en Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, Colombia, en 2024, a partir de un reporte de caso. Descripción del caso. Paciente femenina, de 11 años de edad, con diagnóstico presuntivo de síndrome de Duane tipo I en el ojo izquierdo. No presenta síntomas visuales. Al examen clínico se encuentran limitación de la abducción y cambios en la hendidura palpebral. La agudeza visual es normal y no se identifican otras anomalías oculares. El diagnóstico se confirmó mediante examen clínico, se descartó parálisis del sexto par craneal y síndrome de Brown. No se recomienda intervención quirúrgica ni farmacológica. Conclusiones. Este caso resalta la importancia del diagnóstico diferencial y de la individualización del tratamiento en los síndromes oculares motores. La paciente presenta una forma típica del síndrome, sin necesidad de intervención inmediata, solo con seguimiento semestral y educación sobre el autocuidado. Este caso clínico contribuye a la literatura nacional al documentar una presentación típica del síndrome en un contexto colombiano donde la evidencia publicada es escasa.

This study investigates the role of Wordwall in enhancing the quality of interactive learning using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on PRISMA guidelines. From an initial pool of 81 studies, 40 empirical articles (international and national) were selected for synthesis. The results indicate that Wordwall significantly contributes to increased learning motivation, outcomes, engagement, collaboration, communication, and concept mastery across educational levels. The findings affirm the relevance of digital gamification tools like Wordwall in supporting 21st-century education.

This protocol describes a silver staining method for visualizing proteins separated by SDS-PAGE without using sodium thiosulfate as a sensitizer. The procedure involves fixation of the gel to immobilize proteins and reduce background, followed by impregnation with a silver nitrate solution that binds to the protein bands. After rinsing off excess silver, the gel is developed using a sodium carbonate and formaldehyde solution, which reduces silver ions to metallic silver at protein locations, creating visible bands. The reaction is stopped with a Tris-acetic acid solution to stabilize the image and prevent overdevelopment. Final washes remove residual chemicals, resulting in sensitive protein detection with minimal background. This thiosulfate-free protocol is recommended when downstream applications like mass spectrometry require avoidance of certain chemical interferences.

Introduction: Aging with quality of life and health is a societal challenge, including oral health. Common concerns among the elderly include dental caries, periodontal disease, temporomandibular dysfunctions, chronic myofascial pain, and edentulism. This study aimed to characterize oral health status and self-perception in an elderly population. Methods: Twenty-one elderly individuals from a Social and Parish Center were evaluated. Questionnaires on oral hygiene habits and the OHIP-14 index were applied, along with intra/extra-oral clinical assessments. Results: The “physical pain” dimension of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life showed a significant positive correlation (rs=0.445, p=0.043), indicating that a higher number of compromised teeth is associated with increased pain. Social disability correlated with the DMFT index (rs=0.442, p=0.045), suggesting that greater oral impairment is linked to a higher perception of social disability. Worse oral health conditions were associated with more pronounced negative impacts on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, particularly in physical pain, psychological discomfort, and social disability. Discussion: Preventive and educational strategies are essential for promoting oral health in geriatric populations, particularly institutionalized individuals. Oral Health-Related Quality of Life assessment is crucial in guiding clinical decisions in geriatric dentistry. Conclusion: Systematic evaluation of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, as a "Patient-Reported Outcome," integrates the geriatric patient's self-perception into clinical decision-making, optimizing person-centered care.

Introdução: A educação em saúde utiliza estratégias para o cuidado do indivíduo na sociedade. Através das tecnologias leves, é possível utilizar recursos para a melhoria da qualidade de vida da população (GONÇALVES, 2020). Objetivo: Retratar práticas educativas desenvolvidas na residência multiprofissional. Método: Trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre ações assistenciais no programa de residência em Juazeiro, no mês de dezembro de 2021, na Unidade Básica de Saúde. Foram quatro encontros com as mulheres hipertensão e/ou diabetes, com ação voltadas para testagem de IST´S, aferição da pressão arterial, glicemia capilar, temperatura e peso, roda de conversa sobre boas práticas alimentares e Hanseníase. Na oportunidade, durante os encontros, foram ofertadas práticas de atividades corporais. Resultados: Participaram ativamente das atividades cerca de 15 mulheres, entre 30 a 76 anos. Na abordagem sobre IST`S houve aconselhamento pré-teste, todos negativos. Percebeu-se um cuidado com as comorbidades descritas e a prática de hábitos alimentares saudáveis e sua influência na fisiologia do corpo humano. Todas foram instruídas sobre a hanseníase e sua descrição clínica. Conclusão: Diante disso, o uso das ações educativas em saúde vem proporcionando, valores significativos à qualidade de vida na sociedade.

Seiring dengan perkembangan industri musik yang pesat, grup band di Jakarta sering kali kurang memahami pentingnya pendaftaran hak cipta. Hal ini menyebabkan banyak karya mereka tidak terlindungi secara hukum, sehingga berisiko untuk disalahgunakan oleh pihak lain. Oleh karena itu, kami tim pengabdian masyarakat fakultas hukum Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta, berupaya untuk meningkatkan kesadaran mengenai hak cipta bagi pencipta khususnya di bidang industri musik. Dengan demikian, harapan kami selaku tim pengabdian masyarakat, para pencipta dapat merasa aman dan karya mereka dapat terlindungi secara hukum dan memberikan manfaat ekonomi yang berkelanjutan. Metode observasi digunakan pada tahapan mencari mitra sasaran yang dalam kegiatan ini ialah group band manerole yang bergerak di industri musik. Setelah dilakukan observasi tahap selanjutnya ialah kegiatan sosialisasi yang dihadiri peserta yang tediri dari umum dan mitra sasaran. Dalam sosialisasi tersebut dijelaskan mengenai dasar hukum hak cipta, istilah istilah hak cipta, hak-hak eksklusif yang didapatkan pencipta serta simulasi pendaftaran hak cipta dll. Hasil dari kegiatan ini ialah pihak mitra yaitu grup band manerole mendaftarkan ciptaannya yang berjudul “puppy love”.
