In a single-blind trial, five treatments for painful stiff shoulder were compared 4-week assessment period in 60 patients. The acupuncture, steroid injection with placebo and active tolmetin sodium, physiotherapy the form of ultrasound 'placebo' sodium. Objective was gained by use goniometer readings to monitor abduction. Pain measured visual analogue scales 4-point scale. Comparative also recorded at end study success or failure each patient's treatment. With very few exceptions all...
Abstract Spray drying microencapsulation of Lippia sidoides essential oil was investigated. Maltodextrin DE10 and gum arabic at different proportions (4:1, 3:2, 2:3, 0:1 m/m) used as a carrier. The content related to the carrier 20 25% in weight emulsions were atomized from 30% up 60% (m/m) total solid concentration. dryer inlet temperatures varied 140 160°C best thermal efficiency powder recovery found 160°C. Product properties process performance assessed on basis microscopic features...
Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse the population growth Atlantic seabob shrimp, Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller, 1862) and establish its recruitment period in northern part State Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. Monthly samples species were collected over four years (2005-06, 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10) through local artisanal fishery. size males females varied from 25.0 134.0 mm 33.0 146.0 total length, 6.0 30.0 5.0 carapace 0.3 13.8 g 0.2 17.4 weight, respectively....
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida spp. are biofilm-forming pathogens commonly found colonizing medical devices, being mainly associated with pneumonia bloodstream infections. The coinfection by these presents higher mortality rates when compared to those caused a single microbial species. This study aimed evaluate the antibiofilm activity of echinocandins polymyxin B (PMB) against polymicrobial biofilms carbapenem-resistant (CR) ( C. albicans , parapsilosis tropicalis glabrata ). In...
Background: Echocardiography, though non-invasive and having relatively low-cost, presents issues of variability which can limit its use in epidemiological studies.Objectives: To evaluate left ventricular mass reproducibility when assessed at acquisition (online) compared to a reading center after electronic transmission (offline) also by different readers the center.Method: Echocardiographers from 6 ELSA-Brasil study investigation centers measured online during 124 studies before...
Admission to clinical trials is often based on the assumption of homogeneity population. A group 60 patients, all with pain in neck or shoulder at least 3 months duration, were studied. Expectation was graded before treatments started by sharing out 100 points between freedom from side effects, relief, depression improved mobility, sleep and speed action. double-blind crossover study two established anti-inflammatory analgesics placebo carried out. Using analogue scales, patients asked grade...
SummaryA clinical trial was carried out in 54 patients with osteoarthritis to compare the efficacy and tolerance of 3-weeks' treatment either standard formulation ibuprof en given as 400 mg 3-times daily (25 patients) or a new sustained-release (SR) dosage 600 twice (29 patients). Weekly assessments were made by investigator self-assessments patients. All parameters used showed progressive improvements ibuprofen equal greater SR formulation. A number changes during reached statistical...
No Brasil, os produtos fitoterápicos são considerados medicamentos, sendo necessário o estabelecimento de estudos que assegurem a manutenção dos requisitos qualidade durante processamento e armazenamento. Testes dissolução podem ser empregados para se estimar biodisponibilidade um fármaco, uma análise rotineira no desenvolvimento controle medicamentos alopáticos. A determinação do perfil também pode importante critério avaliação da sua lote-a-lote, bem como estabilidade. O objetivo deste...
Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as características das internações hospitalares de idosos com 60 anos ou mais em hospitais da Macrorregião Saúde Jequitinhonha/MG, no período janeiro 2010 a dezembro 2020. Material e Métodos: Trata-se um epidemiológico analítico, base dados secundários obtidos Sistema Informação Hospitalar do Único (SIH/SUS) (DATASUS - TABNET). Resultados: No estudado, foram identificados 90.201 registros na região. As variáveis utilizadas sexo, faixa...
SummaryThe duration of action sustained-release ibuprofen (‘Brufen Retard’) was investigated in a 14–day double-blind study involving 14 osteoarthritis and 10 rheumatoid arthritis patients. The recommended once-daily dosage this preparation (1600 mg taken the evening) provided effective control arthritic symptoms for both patient groups, with significant overall improvements pain stiffness compared to baseline. Substitution placebo single dose active treatment resulted trend towards...
Abstract Aim Surgeons experience significant stress levels in theatre. Acute can cause cognitive overload, worsening surgical performance. Chronic poses a substantial risk to surgeons’ health. Effectively identifying intraoperative may allow for preventative strategies that reduce and improve patient outcomes. Here, the feasibility of using heart rate variability (HRV) as marker during vascular surgery was assessed. Method 11 senior surgeons were evaluated performing 3 distinct procedures....
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease which leads to progressive joint damage. Currently available therapies, such as myocrisine and sulphasalazine, were developed empirically without much regard for the basic physiological mechanisms of inflammation are not always effective at controlling disease. The pathophysiological processes involved in reactions that occur, example, RA during infection, have now been delineated, thus, providing scientific...
Gynaecomastia is common and often physiological, leading to frequent dismissal as a cosmetic condition. It can however be symptom of underlying hormone imbalance, which requires further assessment exclude sinister pathology. We discuss rare cause gynaecomastia that demonstrates the importance holistic approach patient assessment.
