Brianezi,Ledimar; Ornelas,Elisabete; Gehrke,Flávia de Sousa; Fonseca,Fernando Luiz Affonso; Alves,Beatriz da Costa AguiarAbstract Background: The emergence of coronary heart disease is increased with menopause, physical inactivity and with dyslipidemia. Physical training is known to promote the improvement of cardiovascular functions. Objective: To investigate the effects of aerobic physical training on the left ventricle in ovariectomized LDL knockout mice. Methods: Thirty animals were divided into 6 groups (n = 5): Sedentary no...

Cunha,Marisa Gonzaga da; Moraes,Caio; Cebrian,Giovana; Silva,Rafaela Ferreira da; Reple,Sônia Isabel Friedlaender; Machado Filho,Carlos D’ApparecidaSUMMARY OBJECTIVE Acne vulgaris in female adolescents, when severe or accompanied by other signs of androgenization, may represent a sign of hyperandrogenemia often underdiagnosed, which will have harmful consequences for adult life. The objective of this cross-sectional and retrospective study was to demonstrate the incidence of hormonal changes in the cases of female adolescents with severe or extensive acne,...
Association between changes in body fat distribution, biochemical profile, time...
Soares,Lismeia Raimundo; Menezes,Gabriella Coelho; Barreto,Ana Paula Menna; Sant’Anna,Mônica de Souza Lima; Cardoso,Nadir Machado AlvesSUMMARY OBJECTIVES Individuals living with HIV seem to be more prone to changes in the redistribution of body fat, characterized as lipodystrophy, which may occur in conjunction with metabolic diseases. In the present study, such impacts were assessed in adults with and without HIV and associated with the time of virus diagnosis and treatment with antiretroviral. METHODS A cross-sectional study with 123 adults,...
Effects of nasal aspiration by the Proetz® method in pediatric patients with si...
Filgueira,Yaskara Amorim; Holanda,Vanderlan Nogueira; Fonseca,Fernando Luiz Affonso; Feder,DavidSUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To characterize the effects of nasal aspiration with Proetz® in peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) in pediatric sinusitis (PS) patients with nasal obstruction. METHODS: This is a non-randomized descriptive-analytical clinical trial with a quantitative approach. The sample comprised 30 children. Initially, the PNIF was measured and the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) was used for nasal obstructi...

Gehrke,Flávia de Sousa; Gouveia,Mariana Carvalho; Barbosa,Carla Gabriela Marques; Murad,Neif; Reis,Beatriz da Costa Aguiar AlvesABSTRACT Background: Renal replacement therapy continues to be related to high hospitalization rates and poor quality of life. All-cause morbidity and mortality in renal replacement therapy in greater than 20% per year, being 44 times greater when diabetes is present, and over 10 times that of the general population. Regardless of treatment, the 5-year survival is 40%, surpassing many types of cancers. Irisin i...
Evaluation of Collagen Fibers, MMP2, MMP9, 8-OHdG and Apoptosis in the Aorta of...
Maifrino,Laura Beatriz M.; Lima,Nathalia E. A. de; Marques,Mara R.; Cardoso,Clever G.; Souza,Lidiane B. de; Tomé,Tabata de CarvalhoAbstract Background: In menopause, there is greater cellular exposure to oxidative stress, related to the decreased antioxidative effects of estrogen. These metabolic changes favor the progression of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Abnormal function of the aorta - the most important artery - is associated with many cardiovascular diseases. Collagen, especially types I and III, is one of the mo...

Almeida,Lenina Ludimila Sampaio de; Sette,Luís Henrique Bezerra Cavalanti; Fonseca,Fernando Luiz Affonso; Bezerra,Leila Silveira Vieira da SilvaAbstract Introduction: It is unclear whether residual renal function (RRF) in dialysis patients can attenuate the metabolic impact of the long 68-hour interdialytic interval, in which water, acid, and electrolyte accumulation occurs. Objective: to evaluate serum electrolyte levels, water balance, and acid-base status in dialytic patients with and without RRF over the long interdialytic interval (LII). Methodolo...
