This is a cross-sectional study, with the objective of determining the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the elderly assisted in Primary Health Care (PHC). Of the 70 elderly people studied, 51 (72.9%) had an intermediate / severe risk of OSA. Correlation of OSA with female gender (p = 0.04), self-perceived health (p = 0.01), body mass index (p = 0.001), number of comorbidities (p = 0.002), arterial hyper...
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy. Genetic and epigenetic alterations play a decisive role in the onset of several human neoplasms. Mutations and polymorphisms are two frequent genetic alterations. Located on chromosome 19 (19p13.11), the NIS SLC5A5 (solute carrier family 5 member 5) gene encodes a highly specialized and efficient 80–90 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that medi...

Objective: To test the hypothesis that antihypertensive drug therapy produces anti-inflammatory effects in clinical practice, this study investigated circulating levels of selected proinflammatory mediators (interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α], and interferon-γ [INF-γ]) in response to multivariate drug directions for blood pressure (BP) control. Methods: Prospective study involving 110 hyp...
Ao longo do processo de envelhecimento observa-se complexa remodelagem do sistema imunitário. Estas alterações estão associadas ao desenvolvimento de patologias responsáveis por grande parte da mortalidade em população idosa. Recentemente, a prática regular de atividades físicas tem sido proposta como intervenção não-medicamentosa com amplos benefícios sobre a regulação de processos decorrentes da imunossenescê...
Objective: Verify the nicotine dependence and the reasons for smoking among the institutionalized elderly smoker. Method: We investigated the correlation between the degree of nicotine dependence and the motivating aspects of smoking addiction in the institutionalized elderly. We studied smokers with 60 years or older admitted to a long-term institution in the Federal District. These individuals answered the qu...

INTRODUCTION: Postprandial lipemia is characterized by an increased concentration of circulating lipids after fat intake and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Exercise is known to reduce postprandial lipemia and its negative clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effect of intense intermittent versus moderate continuous exercise using the same energy expenditure in pos...
