ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and functional capacity change among aged people. Methods: we analyzed data of an aged cohort looking for determinants of functional capacity at follow-up. Baseline data were collected between 2007 and 2008 - average follow-up of 3,5 years. A full multivariate linear regression model was built to evaluate functional capacit...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To analyze abdominal drain on the first postoperative day and evaluate its predictive nature for the diagnosis of Pancreatic Fistula exclusion, seeking to establish a cutoff point from which lower values demonstrate safety in excluding the possibility of this complication. METHODS: From August 2017 to June 2020, data from 48 patients undergoing pancreatic resection were collected and analyzed...

ABSTRACT Populational aging led to the emergence of chronic diseases, all potentially incapacitating, thus affecting functional capacity (FC) of elders. Despite health evidences in favour of having regular physical activity, the majority of elders are not sufficiently active. Baseline data of an urban elder cohort in Brazil showed that only 28% were active and 68% had some functional loss, a figure that went up...

The objective of this study is to characterize survival in children with AIDS diagnosed in Brazil between 1999-2002, compared with the first national study (1983-1998). This national retrospective cohort study examined a representative sample of Brazilian children exposed to HIV from mother-to-child transmission and followed through 2007. The survival probability after 60 months was analyzed by sex, year of bir...
OBJETIVO: Fizemos um protocolo para compararmos as medidas dos ângulos ano-retais em três situações diferentes, em voluntárias assintomáticas nulíparas e multíparas. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODOS: Foram realizados defecogramas em 30 mulheres (15 nulíparas e 15 multíparas), de maio de 1997 a dezembro de 1998, e obtidas incidências radiográficas em perfil do reto após introdução de contraste baritado texturizado: em repou...
INTRODUCTION: Classification TNM 1997 defines renal cell carcinoma smaller than 7 cm and confined to the kidney as stage T1. Our goal is to discuss if tumors smaller than 4 cm have the same behavior characteristics then tumors between 4 and 7 cm, to compose the same stage of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective assessment of 138 patients in stage T1 (TNM - 97), divided into 2 groups; group-1: compo...
