The disparity of measuring bone mineral content using bioimpedance and dual-ene...
Crispilho,Shirley Ferraz; Duque,Eduardo Jorge; Bezerra,Kalyanna Soares; Pereira,Rosa Maria R.; Jorgetti,Vanda; Elias,Rosilene M.; Moysés,Rosa M. A.Abstract Introduction: Body composition is critical for the evaluation of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and can be obtained from either multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA). Although the discrepancy between the results obtained from both methods has already been described, reasons are unknown, and might be related to secondary hyperparathyroidism...
Sympatho-Vagal Imbalance is Associated with Sarcopenia in Male Patients with He...
Fonseca,Guilherme Wesley Peixoto da; Santos,Marcelo Rodrigues dos; Souza,Francis Ribeiro de; Costa,Marcel Jose A. da; Haehling,Stephan vonAbstract Background: Resting sympathetic hyperactivity and impaired parasympathetic reactivation after exercise have been described in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the association of these autonomic changes in patients with HF and sarcopenia is unknown. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of autonomic modulation on sarcopenia in male patients with HF. Methods: We enrolled 1...

Loures,Marco Antônio R.; Zerbini,Cristiano Augusto F.; Danowski,Jaime S.; Pereira,Rosa Maria R.; Moreira,Caio; Paula,Ana Patrícia deAbstract Osteoporosis, a metabolic disease characterized by low bone mass, deterioration of the bone tissue microarchitecture and increased susceptibility to fractures, is commonly regarded as a women's health problem. This point of view is based on the fact that compared with men, women have lower bone mineral density and longer lifespans and lose bone mass faster, especially after menopause, due to a marked d...
Low vitamin D serum levels in diffuse systemic sclerosis: a correlation with wo...
Sampaio-Barros,Marília M.; Takayama,Liliam; Sampaio-Barros,Percival D.; Bonfá,Eloísa; Pereira,Rosa Maria R.ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation of vitamin D levels with clinical parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), quality of life (QoL) and nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) in patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: Thirty-eight female patients with diffuse SSc were analyzed regarding 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) serum levels. At inclusion, organ involvement, autoant...
Tomografia computadorizada quantitativa periférica de alta resolução para avali...
Fuller,Henrique; Fuller,Ricardo; Pereira,Rosa Maria R.RESUMO A tomografia computadorizada quantitativa periférica de alta resolução (HR-pQCT) é uma nova tecnologia disponível comercialmente há menos de 10 anos que permite a feitura de exames in vivo para a avaliação de parâmetros ósseos. A HR-pQCT avalia a forma, o número, o volume, a densidade, a conectividade e a separação das trabéculas; a densidade e a espessura do osso cortical e o volume e a densidade total,...
