Penetrating cardiac injury, though infrequent, is associated with substantial mortality. In 2005, our research team conducted a comprehensive retrospective analysis of penetrating injuries managed at facility from 1990 to 2003. Now, two decades later, we the present study on attended in hospital over last 20 years. This medical records and trauma database data, focus survivors trauma, excluding those deceased upon arrival. Out 1,093 cases, 25 had an overall mortality rate 36%. Hemorrhage was...

FUNDAMENTO: Os músculos respiratórios são afetados pós operações cardíacas. OBJETIVO: Verificar se o condicionamento pré-operatório dos inspiratórios poderia ajudar a diminuir disfunção respiratória pós-operatória. MÉTODOS: Trinta voluntários de ambos os sexos com idade mínima 50 anos, aguardando cirurgia revascularização do miocárdio e/ou válvula cardíaca foram alocados forma randômica em dois grupos. Quinze pacientes incluídos um programa domiciliar pelo menos 2 semanas treinamento usando...

This controlled, prospective, nonrandomized clinical investigation has as its chief strength the fact that it was done in humans with active disease and apparently on fairly modest therapeutic regimens. The aim to present results of oxidative‐stress biomarkers suffering from pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Inflammation oxidative stress are essential PAH increased lipid peroxidation reduced antioxidant defenses. Twenty‐four adult patients both sexes, a mean age 21 years, were subdivided...

Hepcidin plays a crucial role in iron metabolism, preventing its absorption at the basolateral enterocyte membrane. regulation is complex and regulated transcriptional level. The relation between overload alcoholic liver disease well known, but mechanism not clear. We present an observational, case-control study, aimed evaluating effects of alcohol on expression hepcidin human participants. intended to assess whether related ingestion was caused by hepcidin-impaired determining mRNA relating...

Better treatments for schizophrenia are urgently needed. The therapeutic use of the nitric oxide (NO)-donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in patients with has shown promising results. role NO is still unclear, and modulation unexplored ketamine (KET) animal models to date. In present study, we compared behavioral effects pre- post-treatment SNP, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), methylene blue (MB) acute KET model schizophrenia. study was designed test whether GTN, MB treatment taken after...

To present our experience with penetrating cardiac injuries. We have retrospectively reviewed the records of 70 victims A logistic regression has been performed in order to determine association between death and clinical predictors. Penetrating injuries consisted 43 stab wounds (61.4%) 27 (38.6%) gunshot (P=0.72). There were 63 (90%) male 7 female (10%, P<0.001) victims. The mean age was 27.36+/-11.51, ranging from 3 65 years. overall mortality 32.9%, 47.8% for 52.2% (P=0.266). Eight...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Nitric oxide has a pathophysiological role in modulating systemic changes associated with anaphylaxis. synthase inhibitors may exacerbate bronchospasm anaphylaxis and worsen clinical conditions, limited roles anaphylactic shock treatment. The aim here was to report an case (not shock), reversed by methylene blue (MB), guanylyl cyclase inhibitor. CASE REPORT: A 23-year-old female suddenly presented urticaria pruritus, initially on her face arms, then over whole body....

Metabolic acidosis has profound effects on vascular tone. This study investigated the in vivo of acute metabolic (AMA) and chronic (CMA) hemodynamic parameters endothelial function. CMA was induced by ad libitum intake 1% NH4Cl for 7 days, AMA a 3-h infusion 6 M (1 mL/kg, diluted 1:10). Phenylephrine (Phe) acetylcholine (Ach) dose-response curves were performed venous with simultaneous arterial blood pressure monitoring. Plasma nitrite/nitrate (NOx) measured chemiluminescence. The group had...

Abstract Background and Aim: There were strong evidences that nitric oxide has capital importance in the progressive vasodilatation associated with varied circulatory shock forms, including systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), patients undergoing cardiac surgeries for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). If CPB procedures, per se, are inciting stimulus inflammation, plasma nitrate/nitrite (NOx) excretion would be expected to higher these rather than operated without CPB. In consequence,...
