Although the healing effect of music has been recognized since time immemorial, there has been a renewed interest in its use in modern medicine. This can be attributed to the increasing focus on holistic healing and on the subjective and objective aspects of well-being. In ophthalmology, this has ranged from using music for patients undergoing diagnostic procedures and surgery, as well as for doctors and the operation theatre staff during surgical procedures. Music has proven to be a potent nonpharmacological sedative and anxiolytic, allaying both the pain and stress of surgery. This review aims to explore the available evidence about the role of music as an adjunct for diagnostic and surgical procedures in current ophthalmic practices.

AbstractIncreasing surgical refinement of procedures to meet both biologic and esthetic demands of patients is seen in today's periodontal practice. For these new technologies, instruments, and surgical techniques are necessary. Technical skills of the clinician are challenged by the limit of range of visual acuity. Periodontal microsurgery improves the outcome of basic periodontal surgical procedures by enhancing normal vision through magnification along with favorable lighting system. It gives enhanced outcomes not possible with traditional macrosurgery in terms of passive wound closure and reduced tissue trauma. The purpose of this review is to provide brief knowledge of periodontal microsurgery: the role of magnification, microsurgical instrumentation and applications of microsurgery.

Objective The present study aims to obtain basic demographic information, the level of interest and of training in gynecology oncology among Brazilian obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs) to create a professional profile. Methods An online questionnaire was sent to 16,008 gynecologists affiliated to the Brazilian Federation of Associations of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FEBRASGO, in the Portuguese acronym). We considered gynecologists dedicated to gynecologic oncology (OB-GYNs ONCO) those who self-reported that > 50% of their daily practice consists in working with women's cancer care. Results A total of 1,608 (10%) of 16,008 FEBRASGO members responded. The OB-GYNs are concentrated in the southern and southeastern states of Brazil. Gynecologic oncology was considered the 8th greatest area of interest in gynecology among the OB-GYNs. A total of 95 (5.9%) of the OB-GYNs were considered OB-GYNs ONCO. Obstetricians and gynecologists are actively engaged in cancer care: > 60% of them dedicate up to 25% of their daily practice to oncology. The role of the physicians in screening and prevention, diagnosis, in the treatment of precancerous lesions, and in low complexity surgical procedures is notably high. Gynecologists dedicated to gynecologic oncology in Brazil have a heterogeneous, nonstandardized and short training period in gynecologic oncology. These professionals had a more significantly role in performing medium- and high-complexity operations compared with OB-GYNs (65.2% versus 34%, and 47.3% versus 8.4%, respectively). Conclusion The role of OB-GYNs and of OB-GYNs ONCO appears to be complementary. Obstetricians and gynecologists act more often in screening and prevention and in low-complexity surgical procedures, whereas OB-GYNs ONCO are more involved in highly complex cases. Strategies to raise standards in cancer training and to encourage the recognition of gynecologic oncology as a subspecialty should be adopted in Brazil.

138 Background: Surgery is considered the best treatment for patients (pts) with non-metastatic locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus who have responded to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in terms of locoregional control. However, in these pts PFS and OS have not been proved superior to those achieved by CRT alone. Besides, the addition of surgery to CRT increases treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Unfit pts are usually declined for surgical procedures and included in definitive CRT programs. The aim of this study was to define the role of non-surgical strategies (CRT, CT or RT) in unfit pts considered non-optimal for surgical procedures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 90 pts with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus who had been diagnosed and treated at our institution from January 2004 to December 2009. Fifty-one pts were non-metastatic among which 19 underwent surgery and 32 a non-surgical procedure (CRT, CT, RT or BSC). Our aim was to identify OS, PFS, RR, data on comorbidity and toxicity in these 32 pts. Results: Thirty out of the 32 pts were men with a median age of 62 years (range 41-90). Comorbidity was detected in 17 pts (53%) as means of respiratory disorders (21.9%), cardiopathy (12.5%), hepatopathy (21.9%), synchronic tumors (25%) and metachronic tumors (25%). Seventeen pts received CRT, 7 received CT, 1 received RT and 7 received BSC alone (53%, 22%, 3% and 22% respectively). Grade 3 and 4 toxicities were observed in 15 pts (46.9%) as means of mucositis (18.8%), oesophagitis (15.6%), diarrhoea (12.5%) and neutropaenia (12.5%). One patient in the CRT group died of toxicity. RR was 43.8% (70.6% for CRT, 14.3% for CT alone). Median follow-up was 17.2 months. Median PFS was 11.3 ± 6.12 months (17.9 for CRT, 5.1 for CT alone). Median OS was 15.6 ± 7.6 months (6.9 for CT alone). Conclusions: Our experience with CRT alone in unfit pts with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus supports its use with a median PFS of 17.9 months and controllable toxicity. Data on median OS are lacking due to pending long-term follow-up. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
