- Microbiota intestinal e disfunção temporomandibular: perspetivas atuais e de futuroPublication . Silva, Joelma; Barbosa, CláudiaAs disfunções temporomandibulares (DTM), reduzem a qualidade de vida, especialmente quando condicionam a presença de dor crónica. Estudos recentes têm relatado ligação entre alterações da microbiota intestinal, o eixo intestino cérebro e as síndromes de dor crónica. Esta revisão crítica da literatura tem como objetivos: esclarecer como o equilíbrio da microbiota intestinal pode contribuir para a estabilização dos quadros dolorosos crónicos; verificar as utilizações desta abordagem ao nível das DTM; analisar as principais linhas de estudo. Nas DTM crónica resistentes ao tratamento convencional, devido à natureza complexa e relação bidirecional com comorbidades (fibromialgia e síndrome intestino irritável) é importante uma abordagem multidisciplinar. Apesar de existir evidência, no modelo animal, da influência dos distúrbios intestinais na sua etiologia e do seu tratamento baseado no controlo da microbiota intestinal, estudos clínicos são necessários para avaliar terapias que modulem a microbiota intestinal e possam auxiliar no controlo das DTM crónicas associadas a disbiose.
- Resilience factors in unaccompanied minor refugees with asylum seeking statusPublication . Belinska, Nadezhda Albenova; Silva, IsabelThe study about resilience factors in UASC is a topic that has been gaining a bit more relevance during the past years but still, there aren’t many studies developed in this field. Because of this, a systematic review of the literature was conducted in order to understand what research has been done so far regarding this theme. Thus, the goals of this review are to synthesize the current knowledge about the identified psychosocial resilience factors and to understand their impact in the URM lives. As a research method, B-On database was used with the following Boolean phrase: (“unaccompanied asylum seeking children or unaccompanied minors or unaccompanied children or separated children seeking asylum” [TI]) and (“protective factors or resilience or adaptation or promotive factors or strengths or resiliency or coping” [TI]) and (“mental health” [optional]). After selecting the options: full text, analyzed by pairs, scientific journals and time period 01/2010-current, there were in total 21 results from which, after the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 were selected. The main conclusions showed that: the literature in this field is scarce, most of the articles are systematic reviews of the literature or qualitative studies where semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The resilience factors are mainly divided into individual, relationships and context/environment. The main identified factors that seem to play an important role are: religion, meaningful and trustworthy relationships, focus on education, safety and acculturation process. It was observed that most studies were conducted outside of a shelter's environment and when the minors were already adults which shows the difficulty and complexity of the process of conducting this type of studies.
