Photographs for anthropometric measurements of the breast region. Are there lim...
Quieregatto,Paulo Rogério; Hochman,Bernardo; Furtado,Fabianne; Ferrara,Soraia Francisco; Machado,Aline Fernanda Perez; Sabino Neto,MiguelPURPOSE: To determine the limitations of the photographs used to obtain the anthropometric measurements of the breast region. METHODS: Five women, between the ages of 18 to 60 years, were evaluated. Photographs of the frontal and left and right profile views of their breasts were taken. Based on the current literature, the most commonly used anthropometric and anatomic landmarks for breast measurement were mark...
Does dexamethasone act in neuropeptides SP and CGRP in neurogenic inflammation ...
Freitas,Jose Octavio Gonçalves de; Quieregatto,Paulo Rogério; Hochman,Bernardo; Lapin,Guilherme Abbud Franco; Mella,Stella Maria BotequioPURPOSE: To investigate the neuropeptides substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) after subcutaneous injection of dexamethasone prior to skin incision in rats.METHODS:Twenty seven Wistar-EPM-1 rats were randomly divided into three groups. The sham group (SG) of rats was injected with 0.9 % saline. The second group (Dexa) was injected with 1.0 mg/kg dexamethasone, and the third group (Dexa+) ...
Effects of subcutaneous carbon dioxide on calcitonin gene related peptide and s...
Raymundo,Erica Calcagno; Hochman,Bernardo; Nishioka,Michele Akemi; Freitas,José Octávio Gonçalves de; Maximino,Jéssica Ruivo; Chadi,GersonPURPOSE: To investigate the subcutaneous injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) on neuropeptides Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) and Substance P (SP) secretion in rat skin.METHODS: Fifty-six Wistar-EPM rats were distributed in two groups: one for CGRP analysis, the other for SP analysis. Each group was subdivided into four subgroups: control (Cont), control with needle (ContNd), CO2 injection (CO2Inj) and atm...
Image analysis software versus direct anthropometry for breast measurements
Quieregatto,Paulo Rogério; Hochman,Bernardo; Furtado,Fabianne; Machado,Aline Fernanda Perez; Sabino Neto,Miguel; Ferreira,Lydia MasakoPURPOSE: To compare breast measurements performed using the software packages ImageTool(r), AutoCAD(r) and Adobe Photoshop(r) with direct anthropometric measurements. METHODS: Points were marked on the breasts and arms of 40 volunteer women aged between 18 and 60 years. When connecting the points, seven linear segments and one angular measurement on each half of the body, and one medial segment common to both b...
Health economics and health preference concepts to orthopedics practitioners
Araújo,Carlos Delano Mundim; Veiga,Daniela Francescato; Hochman,Bernardo; Abla,Luiz Eduardo Felipe; Novo,Neil Ferreira; Ferreira,Lydia MasakoThe aim of this study was to describe concepts of health economics in order to update and provide the orthopedic practitioner decision making parameters based on preferences. Four basic types of studies of economical evaluation were presented (cost minimization analysis, cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility), as well as the origin, the concept, advantages and disadvantages of using QALY and utility...
Perioperative corticosteroids for preventing complications following facial pla...
Silva,Edina Mariko Koga da; Hochman,Bernardo; Ferreira,Lydia MasakoBACKGROUND:Early recovery is an important factor for people undergoing facial plastic. However, the normal inflammatory processes that are a consequence of surgery commonly cause oedema (swelling) and ecchymosis (bruising), which are undesirable complications. Severe oedema and ecchymosis delay full recovery, and may make patients dissatisfied with procedures. Perioperative corticosteroids have been used in fac...
Experimental model of cutaneous radiation injury in rabbits
Meirelles,Rafael Panisi de Campos; Hochman,Bernardo; Helene Junior,Americo; Lellis,Rute; Fraga,Murillo Francisco Pires; Ferreira,Lydia MasakoPURPOSE: To describe an experimental model of cutaneous radiation injury in rabbits. METHODS: On this study eight six-month-old New Zealand male rabbits, with an average weight of 2.5kg were used. They were distributed in four groups (n=2 per group). The control group did not receive radiotherapy and the others received one radiotherapy session of 2000, 3000 and 4500 cGy, respectively. Photographic analysis and...
Distribuição de queloide e cicatriz hipertrófica segundo fototipos de pele de F...
Hochman,Bernardo; Farkas,Caroline Benevides; Isoldi,Felipe Contoli; Ferrara,Soraia Francisco; Furtado,Fabianne; Ferreira,Lydia MasakoINTRODUÇÃO: Queloide e cicatriz hipertrófica são cicatrizes patológicas com natureza fisiopatogênica comum, denominadas, em conjunto, cicatrizes fibroproliferativas. São mais frequentes em indivíduos de pele mais escura. Contudo, a atual miscigenação dificulta o enquadramento dos pacientes com variadas tonalidades de pele em classificações morfológicas e estáticas (branco ou caucasoide, mulato, pardo, hispânico...
In vitro effect of 470 nm LED (Light Emitting Diode) in keloid fibroblasts
Bonatti,Silvilena; Hochman,Bernardo; Tucci-Viegas,Vanina Monique; Furtado,Fabianne; Pinfildi,Carlos Eduardo; Pedro,Ana Carolina; Ferreira,Lydia MasakoPurpose: To quantify keloid fibroblasts after irradiation with 470nm blue LED, in vitro. Methods: Fibroblasts from keloid and adjacent skin have been obtained from 6 patients. Cells have been cultivated and maintained in DMEM culture medium. In Petri dishes, they were irradiated with energy doses of 6J, 12J and 18J. After 24 h, counting was done by the average of the triplicates for each sample. Results: There ...
Importance to include the term superficial musculoaponeurotic system in medical...
Ferreira,Lydia Massako; Locali,Rafael Fagionato; Lapin,Guilherme Abbud Franco; Hochman,BernardoPURPOSE: To investigate the relevance of the term superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and demonstrate that this term is important enough to be added to the MeSH database and listed in International Anatomical Nomenclature. METHODS: Terms related to SMAS were selected from original articles retrieved from the ISI Web of Science and MEDLINE (PubMed) databases. Groups of terms were created to define a sea...
