Dessensibilização à carboplatina e metotrexato em idade pediátrica: Revisão de ...
Vasconcelos,Maria João; Carneiro-Leão,Leonor; Fernandes,Ana Paula; Almeida,Marta; Gil-da-Costa,Maria João; Cernadas,JosefinaRESUMO Fundamentos: As reações de hipersensibilidade durante a quimioterapia em crianças têm sido documentadas de forma crescente. A dessensibilização a fármacos é um procedimento desconhecido por grande parte dos oncologistas, apesar de permitir que os doentes sejam tratados com agentes de primeira linha, afetando o prognóstico final. Atualmente, ainda não existem normas de orientação de dessensibilização a fá...
Association of different biomarkers of renal function with D-dimer levels in pa...
Domingueti,Caroline Pereira; Fóscolo,Rodrigo Bastos; Dusse,Luci Maria S; Reis,Janice Sepúlveda; Carvalho,Maria das Graças; Gomes,Karina BragaABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the association between different renal biomarkers with D-Dimer levels in diabetes mellitus (DM1) patients group classified as: low D-Dimer levels (< 318 ng/mL), which included first and second D-Dimer tertiles, and high D-Dimer levels (≥ 318 ng/mL), which included third D-Dimer tertile. Materials and methods D-Dimer and cystatin C were measured by ELISA. Creatini...
Web-based computer-delivered interventions for illicit drug users: a review
Cançado,Mariana; Gumier,Andressa; Ribeiro,Nathálya; Fernandes,Ana Paula; Sartes,LaisaDrug use-related disorders indicate a public health problem in many countries. Despite the high number of users in Brazil, there are gaps in the offering of specialized treatment for drug users. Web-based or computer-assisted interventions can facilitate access to interventions, but no research about this resource and its use with this specific population could be found in Brazil. To analyze, through an explora...
Effects of mineral trioxide aggregate, BiodentineTM and calcium hydroxide on vi...
Araújo,Leandro Borges; Cosme-Silva,Leopoldo; Fernandes,Ana Paula; Oliveira,Thais Marchini de; Cavalcanti,Bruno das Neves; Gomes Filho,João EduardoAbstract Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the capping materials mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), calcium hydroxide (CH) and BiodentineTM (BD) on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in vitro. Material and Methods: SHED were cultured for 1 – 7 days in medium conditioned by incubation with MTA, BD or CH (1 mg/mL), and tested for viability (MTT assay) and prolifera...

Among the complications of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication. Objectives: Evaluate the association of plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines ...
Evaluation of creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations for estimation of...
Domingueti,Caroline Pereira; Fóscolo,Rodrigo Bastos; Simões e Silva,Ana Cristina; Dusse,Luci Maria S.; Reis,Janice Sepúlveda; Carvalho,Maria das GraçasABSTRACT Objective Several formulas based in different biomarkers may be used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GRF). However, all of them have some limitations, and it is very important to evaluate their performances in different groups of patients. Therefore, we compared GFR, as estimated by creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations, according to albuminuria, in type 1 diabetes (T1DM), in an obser...

Rodrigues,Maria de Lourdes; Deghaide,Neifi Hassam; Figueiredo,José Fernando; de Menezes,Marcelo Bezerra; Demarco,Ana Lúcia; Donadi,EduardoAbstract Background/aims The frequency of Human Leucocyte Antigens/alleles associated with rapid progression from Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome was evaluated in Brazilian patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome with and without Toxoplasmic Encephalitis. Methods 114 patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (41 with Toxoplasmic Encephalitis, 43 with ...
Resistance of dialyzed patients to erythropoietin
Alves,Michelle Teodoro; Vilaça,Sandra Simone; Carvalho,Maria das Graças; Fernandes,Ana Paula; Dusse,Luci Maria Sant'Ana; Gomes,Karina BragaResistance to recombinant human erythropoietin is a common condition in dialyzed patients with chronic kidney disease and is associated with more hospitalizations, increased mortality and frequent blood transfusions. The main cause of hyporesponsiveness to recombinant human erythropoietin in these patients is iron deficiency. However, a high proportion of patients does not respond to treatment, even to the use o...
Methods to preserve potentially toxigenic fungi
Guimarães,Lucas Costa; Fernandes,Ana Paula; Chalfoun,Sara Maria; Batista,Luís RobertoMicroorganisms are a source of many high-value compounds which are useful to every living being, such as humans, plants and animals. Since the process of isolating and improving a microorganism can be lengthy and expensive, preserving the obtained characteristic is of paramount importance, so the process does not need to be repeated. Fungi are eukaryotic, achlorophyllous, heterotrophic organisms, usually filame...
Rat subcutaneous tissue response to MTA Fillapex® and Portland cement
Marques,Nádia Carolina Teixeira; Lourenço Neto,Natalino; Fernandes,Ana Paula; Rodini,Camila de Oliveira; Duarte,Marco Antônio HungaroThe aim of this study was to evaluate the response of rat subcutaneous tissue to MTA Fillapex® (Angelus), an experimental root canal filling material based on Portland cement and propylene glycol (PCPG), and a zinc oxide, eugenol and iodoform (ZOEI) paste. These materials were placed in polyethylene tubes and implanted into the dorsal connective tissue of Wistar rats for 7 and 15 days. The specimens were staine...
