Immediate analgesic effect of two modes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stim...
Pivovarsky,Madeline Luiza Ferreira; Gaideski,Fernanda; Macedo,Rafael Michel de; Korelo,Raciele Ivandra Guarda; Guarita-Souza,Luiz CésarABSTRACT Objective To compare and assess the immediate analgesic effects of conventional and burst transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods We conducted a three-arm single-blinded randomized controlled trial. A total of 105 patients with non-specific chronic low back pain aged between 18 and 85 years were randomly assigned into the following groups: Placebo Gro...
Impact of a High-Intensity Training on Ventricular Function in Rats After Acute...
Winter,Simone de Campos Neitzke; Macedo,Rafael Michel de; Francisco,Júlio Cesar; Santos,Paula Costa; Lopes,Ana Paula Sarraff; Meira,Leanderson Franco deAbstract Background: Physical exercise should be part of the treatment of post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Objective: To evaluate the effects of two training prescription models (continuous x interval) and its impact on ventricular function in rats after AMI with normal ventricular function. Methods: Forty Wistar rats were evaluated by echocardiography 21 days after the AMI. Those with LVEF = 50...
Comparative Study between Perfusion Changes and Positive Findings on Coronary F...
Costantini,Costantino Roberto Frack; Ramires,Jose Antonio; Costantini,Costantino Ortiz; Denk,Marcos Antonio; Tarbine,Sergio GustavoAbstract Background: Functional assessment of coronary artery obstruction is used in cardiology practice to correlate anatomic obstructions with flow decrease. Among such assessments, the study of the coronary fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become the most widely used. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between FFR and findings of ischemia obtained by noninvasive methods including stress echocardiography...
Morphologic study of different treatments for gastrocnemius muscle contusion in...
Macedo,Ana Carolina Brandt de; Ywazaki,Julye Leiko; Macedo,Rafael Michel de; Noronha,Lucia; Gomes,Anna Raquel SilveiraABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effects of ultrasound and stretching in morphology after rat muscle contusion. METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n = 35, 8-9 weeks, 271 ± 14 g) were divided into five groups: control group (CG = 3); lesion group (LG = 8); lesion + ultrasound group (LUG = 8); lesion + stretching group (LSG = 8); lesion + ultrasound + stretching group (LUSG = 8). The ultrasound was applied in LUG and LUS...
Myocardial regeneration after implantation of porcine small intestinal submucos...
Ramos,Cassiana Maria Garcez; Francisco,Julio César; Olandoski,Marcia; Carvalho,Katherine Athayde Teixeira de; Cunha,Ricardo; Erbano,Bruna OlandoskiIntroduction: Most cardiomyocytes do not regenerate after myocardial infarction. Porcine small intestinal submucosa has been shown to be effective in tissue repair. Objective: To evaluate myocardial tissue regeneration and functional effects of SIS implantation in pigs after left ventriculotomy. Methods: Fifteen pigs were assigned to two groups: porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) (N=10) and control (N=5)....
Efeitos de curto prazo de um programa de atividade física moderada em pacientes...
Colombo,Caroline Macoris; Macedo,Rafael Michel de; Fernandes-Silva,Miguel Morita; Caporal,Alexandra Moro; Stinghen,Andréa EmiliaOBJETIVO: Avaliar se um programa de exercícios de intensidade moderada por um pequeno período pode alterar os parâmetros inflamatórios e melhorar os diferentes componentes da síndrome metabólica em pacientes sedentários. MÉTODOS: Dezesseis pacientes completaram 12 semanas de exercício supervisionado, que consistiu em caminhar 40 a 50 minutos 3 vezes por semana, atingindo 50 a 60% da frequência cardíaca de reser...
Efeito do exercício associado ao transplante de células-tronco sobre a função v...
Cosmo,Simone; Francisco,Julio César; Cunha,Ricardo Correa da; Macedo,Rafael Michel de; Faria-Neto,José Rocha; Simeoni,RossanaOBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito da associação terapêutica entre o transplante autólogo de células-tronco e o exercício físico aquático, sobre a fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) de ratos com disfunção ventricular pós-infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM). MÉTODOS: Foram induzidos ao IAM, por ligadura da artéria coronária esquerda, 21 ratos Wistar. Os animais foram submetidos à ecocardiografia para avaliação ...
