ObjectiveTo investigate QT dispersion in the surface electrocardiogram of children with rheumatic carditis.MethodsQT was quantitatively evaluated 33 acute carditis. As a control group, we studied healthy free any disease. The were eligible for participation if following criteria met: diagnosis fever based on revised Jone’s and suffering from their first attack echo Doppler cardiogram performed all children, within 48–72 hours hospitalisation.ResultsPatients carditis had greater than group....
Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain value (GLS) can predict functional capacity in patients with preserved left ejection fraction (LVEF) heart failure (HF) and to assess prognosis reduced LVEF HF. Objetive: Correlate GLS parameters of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) if they could systolic HF that are more appropriated be referred transplantation according CPET criteria. Methods: Systolic < 45%, NYHA class II III, underwent prospectively echocardiography analysis....
Background: The Weber classification based on peak VO2 is a well-established method for categorizing patients with heart failure (HF) regarding severity. However, other submaximal tests such as the Glittre ADL-Test have been gaining prominence in practice due to coherent and more comprehensive correlation limitations performing activities of daily living failure.Objective: To investigate between time required perform HF.Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted 40 adult individuals (21 65...
Purpose . To assess the potential effectiveness or efficacy of early mobilization on respiratory and peripheral muscle strengths functionality in nonintubated patients. Methods For 40 patients over 18 years age with 24-hour intensive care unit (ICU) stay allocated to a single intervention, an incremental protocol was initiated. Maximal inspiratory expiratory pressures (MIP MEP), strength (handgrip (HGS) Medical Research Council scale (MRC-s)), (FIM, ICF-BMS, PFIT-s, FSS-ICU scales) were...
Objective − 17q12 deletion syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by neurodevelopmental disorders, genital and renal abnormalities, maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5).Case Report This case report details 13-year-old female with moderate intellectual disability, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, multicystic dysplastic kidneys, MODY5. Genetic testing revealed 1.52-megabase heterozygous on chromosome 17q12, encompassing HNF1B LHX1 genes, which was found to be...
To evaluate findings of ophthalmologic examinations in cardiac transplant recipients, searching especially for changes the retinal nerve fiber layer by means Scanning Laser Polarimetry.Fifteen recipients were examined from September 2003 to July 2004. All them underwent examination, which consisted visual acuity (VA), biomicroscopy, tonometry and fundoscopy. Fiber analyzer-GDx-examination was performed eleven patients. Twelve patients men. The mean age 55.0+/-13.5 years. follow-up since...
Objective: Evaluate the relationship between functionality and level of physical activity in women with fibromyalgia migraine. Methods: An observational study was conducted 22 diagnosed To evaluate functionality, we used function domain impact questionnaire - revised version (FIQR). For classification were short International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Brazilian Society Cardiology (SBC) based on oxygen consumption (VO2 max), by ergospirometry. Migraine Disability Assessment Test...
