Randomized trial - oxybutynin for treatment of persistent plantar hyperhidrosis...
Costa Jr, Altair da Silva; Leao, Luiz Eduardo Villaca; Succi, Jose Ernesto; Perfeito, Joao Alessio Juliano; Castelo Filho, Adauto; Rymkiewicz, ErikaOBJECTIVE: Hyperhidrosis is a common disease, and thoracoscopic sympathectomy improves its symptoms in up to 95% of cases. Unfortunately, after surgery, plantar hyperhidrosis may remain in 50% of patients, and compensatory sweating may be observed in 70%. This clinical scenario remains a challenge. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of oxybutynin in the treatment of persistent plantar hyperhidrosis...

Níveis plasmáticos do fator de necrose tumoral-alfa (TNF-alfa) em pacientes com...
Salomão, Reinaldo; Castelo Filho, Adauto; Medeiros, Iara Marques de; Sicolo, Miguel AngelEvaluation of TNF-alpha in patients with Kala-azar has drawn increasing interest due to its regulatory role on the immune system, in addition to its cachetizing activity. The objective of this study was to examine the association between plasma levels of TNF-alpha, measured by immunore-activity (ELISA) and bioactivity (cytotoxicity assay with L-929 cells), and clinical manifestations of visceral leishmaniasis. ...
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC): an unusual potential pathogen in cerebrospin...
Hadad, David Jamil; Petry, Tereza Cristina; Maresca, Anaenza Freie; Ferrazoli, Lucilaine; Martins, Maria Conceição; Palhares, Maria Cecilia de AlmeidaO complexo Mycobacterium avium (CMA) é frequentemente isolado de pacientes com complicações tardias de Síndrome de Imunodeficiência Adquirida (AIDS), especialmente na América do Norte e Europa. Entretanto, existem poucos relatos do isolamento deste complexo a partir do sistema nervoso central (SNC) nestes países. Acredita-se que infecções pelo CMA sejam raras entre pacientes portadores de AIDS em países da Áfri...

Hadad, David Jamil; Palhares, Maria Cecília de Almeida; Placco, Anna Luiza Nunes; Domingues, Carmem Silvia Bruniera; Castelo Filho, AdautoBefore the AIDS pandemia, the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) was responsible in most cases for the pneumopathies that attack patients with basic chronic pulmonary diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis36. In 1981, with the advent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), MAC started to represent one of the most frequent bacterial diseases among AIDS patients, with the disseminated form of ...
