The ratio between the whole-body and primary tumor burden, measured on 18F-FDG ...
Oliveira,Felipe Renê Alves; Santos,Allan de Oliveira; Lima,Mariana da Cunha Lopes de; Toro,Ivan Felizardo Contrera; Souza,Thiago Ferreira deAbstract Objective: To determine whether the whole-body tumor burden, as quantified by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), is a prognostic indicator in advanced (stage III or IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study in which we evaluated 18F-FDG PET/CT staging parameters to quantify tumor burdens in patients...

Senger,Maria Helena; Campos,Maria Celeste Gonçalves; Servidoni,Maria de Fátima Corrêa Pimenta; Passeri,Silvia Maria Riceto RonchimA Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Unicamp implantou uma ampla reforma curricular, que antecedeu as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) de 2001. Analisou-se a trajetória profissional e o impacto da reforma curricular na formação pela percepção dos egressos. Alunos concluintes de 1991-2005 compuseram o grupo pré-reforma e os de 2006-2012, o grupo pós-reforma, que receberam um questionário semiestruturado on-...
Paired evaluation of calvarial reconstruction with prototyped titanium implants...
Calderoni,Davi Reis; Gilioli,Rovilson; Munhoz,André Luiz Jardini; Maciel Filho,Rubens; Zavaglia,Cecília Amélia de Carvalho; Lambert,Carlos SallesPURPOSE:To investigate the osseointegration properties of prototyped implants with tridimensionally interconnected pores made of the Ti6Al4V alloy and the influence of a thin calcium phosphate coating.METHODS: Bilateral critical size calvarial defects were created in thirty Wistar rats and filled with coated and uncoated implants in a randomized fashion. The animals were kept for 15, 45 and 90 days. Implant mec...
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) after lung resection: a randomized c...
Roceto,Ligia dos Santos; Galhardo,Fernanda Diorio Masi; Saad,Ivete Alonso Bredda; Toro,Ivan Felizardo ContreraCONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation during the postoperative period (PO) following lung resection can restore residual functional capacity, improve oxygenation and spare the inspiratory muscles. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) associated with physiotherapy, compared with physiotherapy alone after lung resection. DESIGN AN...
Simvastatin attenuates neutrophil recruitment in one-lung ventilation model in ...
Leite,Camila Ferreira; Marangoni,Fábio André; Camargo,Enilton Aparecido; Braga,Angélica de Fátima de Assunção; Toro,Ivan Felizardo ContreraPURPOSE: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of simvastatin in rats undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV) followed by lung re-expansion. METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n=30) were submitted to 1-h OLV followed by 1-h lung re-expansion. Treated group received simvastatin (40 mg/kg for 21 days) previous to OLV protocol. Control group received no treatment or surgical/ventilation interventions. Measurements of...

Leite,Camila Ferreira; Toro,Ivan Felizardo Contrera; Antunes,Edson; Mussi,Ricardo KalafPurpose: To evaluate the immediate pulmonary and systemic inflammatory response after a long-term operative period. Methods: Wistar rats in the experimental group were anaesthetized and submitted to tracheostomy, thoracotomy and remained on mechanical ventilation during three hours. Control animals were not submitted to the operative protocol. The following parameters have been evaluated: pulmonary myeloperoxid...

Lima,Alexandre Garcia de; Marques,Ariovaldo; Toro,Ivan Felizardo ContreraOBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência da equipe cirúrgica (cirurgia geral ou cirurgia torácica) e da técnica operatória utilizada (com ou sem istmectomia) sobre a incidência de injúrias pós-intubação nas vias aéreas em pacientes traqueostomizados. MÉTODOS: Foram prospectivamente incluídos neste estudo 164 pacientes admitidos na unidade de terapia intensiva para adultos do Hospital Estadual Sumaré e que ficaram sob int...
Carcinoma mucoepidermoide da traqueia mimetizando asma brônquica
Mussi,Ricardo Kalaf; Toro,Ivan Felizardo Contrera; Pereira,Mônica CorsoEm casos de asma de início recente em que o controle clínico com tratamento habitual (corticosteroide e broncodilatador) é insatisfatório, é importante considerar outros diagnósticos, tais como insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, refluxo gastroesofágico ou outras formas de obstrução das vias aéreas. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino com carcinoma mucoepidermoide da traqueia mimetizando um quadro ...

Lima,Alexandre Garcia de; Marcondes,Giancarlo Antonio; Teixeira,Ayrton Bentes; Toro,Ivan Felizardo Contrera; Campos,Jose Ribas Milanez deOBJETIVO: Avaliar se o pneumotórax residual após simpatectomia torácica videotoracoscópica tem incidência diferente quando utilizada a drenagem pleural pós-operatória ou não e se este pneumotórax residual, quando presente, pode influenciar a dor pós-operatória até o 28º dia. MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos todos os pacientes com queixa de hiperidrose palmoplantar primária atendidos no Ambulatório de Cirurgia Torácica ...
