An observational case-control study was performed with SS volunteers from the Endocrinology and Diabetology Service of the Walter Cantídio University Hospital (Brazil). The sample was composed of 32 patients allocated in two groups: case group (16 adult women diagnosed with SS) and contr...
Levothyroxine Replacement Improves Oxidative Status in Primary Hypothyroidism
Masullo, Laís Farias; Magalhães, Rejane Araújo; Lemes, Romélia Pinheiro Gonçalves; Almeida Filho, Tarcísio Paulo de; Castro, Marilena Facundo deObjective: Although hypothyroidism has been linked to oxidative stress, data regarding the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and oxidative stress is still inconsistent. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of levothyroxine replacement on oxidative stress in women with primary hypothyroidism. Design: A total of 25 female patients with primary hypothyroidism were included. Oxidative stress mar...
Protocolo de controle glicêmico hospitalar
Martins, Luizianne Mariano; Martins, Manoel Ricardo Alves; Fontenele, Eveline Gadelha Pereira; Montenegro Junior, Renan MagalhãesHyperglycemia is a frequent complication and its prevalence occurs in up to 38% of hospitalized patients. Such condition may be due to previously known diabetes, stress responsive to associated diseases or treatments or it may due to diabetes only diagnosed during hospitalization. The presence of nosocomial hyperglycemia is associated with prolonged hospitalization time, increased demand for human resources and...

Cavalcante, Davi de Sá; Quidute, Ana Rosa Pinto; Martins, Manoel Ricardo Alves; Aguiar, Andréa Sílvia Walter de; Cid, Adília Mirela Pereira LimaBackground: Sheehan’s syndrome (SS) is one of the leading causes of hypopituitarism in developing countries. It occurs after postpartum necrosis of the pituitary gland, and it is considered a significant public health problem. This paper, apparently unpublished, aimed to perform an analysis on oral aspects in patients with SS. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 23 women diagnosed w...

Pinto, Karla Linhares; Araujo, Kayline de Souza Pereira; Souza, Michele Renata de; Accioly Filho, José Wilson; Melo, Carine MourãoObjetivo: o objetivo do estudo foi estabelecer a prevalência de lesões cutâneas em indivíduos com diagnóstico clínico de Neoplasia endócrina múltipla tipo 1 (NEM 1). Metodologia: realizamos exame dermatológico em 38 indivíduos e biópsia cutânea quando necessária para o diagnóstico. Resultados: dos 38 pacientes avaliados, 28 (73,7%) apresentavam uma ou mais lesões cutâneas, de predomínio no tronco e a idade médi...

Okubo, Bruno Memória; Matos, Anacélia Gomes de; Ribeiro Junior, Howard Lopes; Borges, Daniela de Paula; Oliveira, Roberta Taiane Germano deThe ageing process is associated with gradual decline in respiratory system performance. Anemia is highly prevalent among older adults and usually associated with adverse outcomes. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies with increasing incidence with age and characterized by anemia and other cytopenias. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate respiratory...
HFE gene mutation and oxidative damage biomarkers in patients with myelodysplas...
Souza, Geane Felix de; Ribeiro Jr, Howard Lopes; Sousa, Juliana Cordeiro de; Heredia, Fabíola Fernandes; Freitas, Rivelilson Mendes deObjective: A relation between transfusional IOL (iron overload), HFE status and oxidative damage was evaluated. Design, setting and participants: An observational cross-sectional study involving 87 healthy individuals and 78 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with and without IOL, seen at University Hospital of the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil, between May 2010 and September 2011. Methods: IOL...
Increased parameters of oxidative stress and its relation to transfusion iron o...
Souza, Geane Felix de; Barbosa, Maritza Cavalcante; Santos, Talyta Ellen de Jesus; Carvalho, Teresa Maria de Jesus Ponte; Freitas, Rivelilson Mendes deMyelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are group of stem cell disorders characterised by peripheral cytopaenias and a variable risk of progression to acute myeloid leukaemia. Most patients have anaemia and many develop transfusion dependence and iron overload (IOL), considered to be a negative independent prognostic factor associated with a higher risk of leukemic transformation and shorter survival.
