RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever as práticas de ressuscitação volêmica em unidades de terapia intensiva brasileiras e compará-las com as de outros países participantes do estudo Fluid-TRIPS. Métodos: Este foi um estudo observacional transversal, prospectivo e internacional, de uma amostra de conveniência de unidades de terapia intensiva de 27 países (inclusive o Brasil), com utilização da base de dados Fluid-TRIPS co...
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a form of chronic interstitial lung disease of unknown cause, which predominantly affects elderly men who are current or former smokers. Even though it is an uncommon disease, it is of great importance because of its severity and poor prognosis. In recent decades, several pharmacological treatment modalities have been investigated for the treatment of this disease...
Introduction The colorectal cancer is a major health problem worldwide. Histology is considered the gold standard for differential diagnosis. However, it depends on the observer's experience, which can lead to discrepancies and poor results. Spectroscopic imaging by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) is a technique that may be able to improve the diagnosis, because it is based on biochemical differences of the s...
Na industrialização da manga, a casca é um dos componentes de descarte. No entanto, a mesma pode ser utilizada como fonte de nutrientes, na composição de diversos outros produtos. Logo, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de doces de corte, formulados com 0% (controle), 25%, 50%, 75% e 100% de cascas, em substituição à polpa de manga (Mangifera indica L. cv. Haden). Os critérios de qualidade util...
FUNDAMENTOS: A terapia fotodinâmica baseia-se na associação de fonte de luz e fotossensibilizador para destruir seletivamente as células. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os efeitos imediatos e tardios, a resposta clínica e os resultados estéticos da terapia fotodinâmica com ácido 5-aminolevulínico em neoplasias cutâneas não-melanoma. MÉTODOS: Trinta e quatro lesões, sendo 19 disceratoses de Bowen e 15 carcinomas basocelulare...
O carcinoma de células escamosas é uma neoplasia cutânea de grande relevância em países de clima tropical como o Brasil, uma vez que a exposição crônica à radiação ultravioleta é um dos fatores importantes para o desenvolvimento da doença. Esta revisão tem por objetivo discorrer sobre alternativas de tratamento do carcinoma de células escamosas em gatos, com ênfase à terapia fotodinâmica. A escolha da modalidad...
Recent advances in optical techniques have created a great range of possibilities for diagnosis and therapeutics in liver related diseases. With the uses of efficient light sources like lasers and LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) it is possible to employ the light-tissue interaction to promote hepatic tissue regeneration after partial hepatectomy, to detect hepatocarcinoma and steatosis by utilizing optical fluores...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of laser beam on remanescent liver after partial hepatectomy 90%. METHODS: Wistar rats, (N= 42), were divided into six groups with seven specimens each. The partial hepatectomy (HP) was performed in all animals through exeresis of approximately 90% of the liver parenchyma. The animals from groups HP and Laser application, HPL24, HPL48 and HPL72 undertook laser irradiation carried...
The purpose of this review was to carry out an analysis of the liver regenerative process focusing on the molecular interactions involved in this process. The authors undertook a review of scientific publications with a focus on the liver regeneration.The cellular processes involved in liver regeneration require multiple systematic actions related to cytokines and growth factors. These interactions result in th...
This paper has the objective to analyze the cellular aspects of liver regeneration (LR). Upon damage in this organ, the regenerative capacity of hepatocyte is sufficiently able to reestablish the parenchyma as a whole. Taking into account the regenerative capacity of hepatocyte, the need of a progenitor or a liver trunk cell was not obvious. Nowadays it is well-established that precursor cells take part in the ...
