Prevalence of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in a Maternity Hospital in São...
Motta,Giovanna Galvão Braga; Chiovatto,Alessandra Rodrigues Silva; Chiovatto,Eduardo Davino; Luís Duarte,Márcio; Rodrigues,Natasha Vogel MajewskiAbstract Objective To evaluate the prevalence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), that is, hips classified as Graf type-IIc or higher, among a sample of the population of newborns aged from 0 to 3 days of life, and to correlate the findings with the main risk factors described in the literature. Methods An observational, cross-sectional, prospective study on a sample of newborns at a Maternity Hospital...
Computed tomography with low-dose radiation versus standard-dose radiation for ...
Luís Duarte,Márcio; dos Santos,Lucas Ribeiro; Oliveira,Acary Souza Bulle; Iared,Wagner; Peccin,Maria StellaBACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) accounts for 13% of all radiological examinations in the United States and 40-70% of the radiation that patients receive. Even with the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT continues to be the gold standard for diagnosing bone fractures. There is uncertainty as to whether CT with a low radiation dose has a fracture detection rate similar to that of standard-dose CT...
Evidence from Cochrane systematic reviews for effects of antithrombotic drugs f...
Dias,Silfayner Victor Mathias; Flumignan,Ronald Luiz Gomes; Iared,WagnerABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterized by progressive narrowing of the arterial lumen, resulting from atherosclerotic plaques. Treatment for PAD aims to control atherosclerosis and improve blood flow. Use of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants has played important roles in helping to prevent occlusions and stenosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the evidence from Cochrane systematic...
Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction versus chest computed tomograph...
Duarte,Márcio Luís; Santos,Lucas Ribeiro dos; Contenças,Andrea Carla de Souza; Iared,Wagner; Peccin,Maria Stella; Atallah,Álvaro NagibABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A positive real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS CoV-2, from nasopharyngeal swabs, is the current gold standard diagnostic test for this virus and has sensitivity of 60-70%. Some studies have demonstrated a significant number of false-negative RT-PCR tests while displaying significant tomographic findings, in the early days of symptoms of COVID-19. OBJE...
The value of signal intensity on T1-weighted chemical shift magnetic resonance ...
Dalavia,Claudio Carvalho; Goldman,Suzan Menasce; Melo,Homero José de Farias e; Kater,Claudio Elias; Szejnfeld,Jacob; Iared,Wagner; Ajzen,Sergio AronAbstract Objective: To investigate the advantages of using modified signal intensity measurements on chemical shift imaging alone or in conjunction with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the differential diagnosis of adrenal adenomas. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study involving 97 patients with adrenal nodules or masses. The signal intensity index (SII) was calculated as [(signal inten...
Ultrasound versus electromyography for the detection of fasciculation in amyotr...
Duarte,Márcio Luís; Iared,Wagner; Oliveira,Acary Souza Bulle; Santos,Lucas Ribeiro dos; Peccin,Maria StellaAbstract The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and electromyography for the detection of fasciculation in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and to compare detection rates between the two methods. By searching the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica, and Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases, we identified studies evaluatin...
Reproducibility of a quantitative system for assessing the quality of diagnosti...
Iared,Wagner; Puchnick,Andrea; Bancovsky,Eduardo; Bettini,Paulo Roberto; Vedolin,Leonardo Modesti; Chammas,Maria CristinaAbstract Objective: To present a quantitative system for assessing the quality of ultrasound examinations-SQUALUS-and to determine its reproducibility, taking into consideration the images on file, as well as the consistency between the images obtained and the final report. Materials and Methods: The system includes questions related to the number of images; the appropriateness of images in relation to the prot...
Impact of PSA density of transition zone as a potential parameter in reducing t...
Castro,Hugo A. Socrates; Iared,Wagner; Santos,José Eduardo Mourão; Solha,Raphael Sandes; Shigueoka,David Carlos; Ajzen,Sergio AronABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the accuracy of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) adjusted for the transition zone volume (PSATZ) in predicting prostate cancer by comparing the ability of several PSA parameters in predicting prostate cancer in men with intermediate PSA levels of 2.6 – 10.0 ng/mL and its ability to reduce unnecessary biopsies. Materials and Methods: This study included 656 patients referred for prosta...
Whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging versus FDG-PET/CT for ...
Regacini,Rodrigo; Puchnick,Andrea; Shigueoka,David Carlos; Iared,Wagner; Lederman,Henrique ManoelCONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Positron emission tomography with [18]F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET/CT) has been advocated as the method of choice for lymphoma staging, since it enables whole-body analysis with high sensitivity for detection of affected areas and because it combines capacities for anatomical and functional assessment. With technological advances, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an alt...
Value of renal cortical thickness as a predictor of renal function impairment i...
Yamashita,Samia Rafael; Atzingen,Augusto Castelli von; Iared,Wagner; Bezerra,Alexandre Sérgio de Araújo; Ammirati,Adriano LuizObjective: To determine the presence of linear relationship between renal cortical thickness, bipolar length, and parenchymal thickness in chronic kidney disease patients presenting with different estimated glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) and to assess the reproducibility of these measurements using ultrasonography. Materials and Methods: Ultrasonography was performed in 54 chronic renal failure patients. Th...
