Background – There is no a clear knowledge concerning the division of any part of the anal sphincter complex and the effect of this procedure on the function of the anal canal during the treatment of perianal fistula. Objective – To evaluate the usefulness of 3D anorectal ultrasound in the assessment of anal fistula, quantifying the length of the sphincter muscle to be transected, selecting patients for differe...
Objective: Describing a new three-dimensional (3D) dynamic endovaginal ultrasonography (EVUS) technique for evaluating perineal descent (PD), comparing it with Ecodefecography (ECD) and correlating with anatomical and functional abnormalities of the pelvic floor (PF). Method: A cross-sectional study whose sample consisted of women with obstructed evacuation symptoms evaluated with Cleveland Clinic Florida (CCF)...
Colorectal and hepatic cancer have an increasing incidence and are influenced by genetic and environmental factors, one of the most important is diet. Azoxymethane (AOM) is used to induce colonic carcinogenesis in experimental models. In the liver, AOM cause cellular changes similar to those seen in chronic liver injury models. Fatty acids -3, -6 and -9 are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis and pre...
Objetivo: Avaliar as repercussões hepáticas da carcinogênese colônica induzida por diferentes doses e tempos de exposição ao azoximetano em ratos Wistar. Métodos: Quarenta e quatro ratos foram distribuídos em quatro grupos. Os animais tinham oito semanas no início do experimento. No grupo 1, receberam 1.0mL de solução salina intraperitonealmente uma vez por semana por duas semanas. No grupo 2, receberam 15 mg/k...
PURPOSE: To assess weight changes in rats fed diets with different ratios of omegas 3, 6 and 9 submitted to colonic carcinogenesis induced by Azoxymethane (AOM). METHODS: Sixty rats with three weeks of life were distributed into five groups of specific diets containing 12 animals each: GIStandard diet without adminstration of AOM, GII- Standard diet with adminstration of AOM; GIII– Hyperlipidic diet with admins...
