Background/Objectives: Palliative Care is a key component to health care. In Brazil, the population has limited access Care, and it remains little-known subject. Last Aid Courses (LAC) for adults have been established since 2015 in 22 countries Europe, Australia, America Asia improve public discussion about death dying empower people participate end-of-life care provision. Brazil LAC started 2020. The aim of present study was investigate if LACs contribute bringing knowledge awareness...
To determine the efficacy of tranilast as an adjunctive therapy in conjunctival autograft.Twenty-nine patients were randomly allocated to Tranilast Group (n=15) or Control (n=14). The received a subconjunctival injection 0.5% 30 days prior surgery. Conjunctival autograft was performed both groups using fibrin sealant and 0.02% mitomycin C at end After resection pterygium, immunohistochemistry with 100 cells identify epithelial positive for transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Subjective...
Small non-coding regulatory RNAs control cellular functions at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is among leading cancers in world presence of cervical lymph node metastases currently its strongest prognostic factor. In this work we aimed finding small expressed oral that could be associated with metastasis.
In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the HIF-1 complex promotes expression of genes involved in specific mechanisms survival under hypoxic conditions, such as plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), carbonic anhydrase 9 (CAIX), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). The study aimed to investigate presence prognostic value PAI-1, CAIX, VEGFA OSCC.Immunohistochemistry was used analyze expressions these proteins 52 tumoral tissue samples patients with OSCC, surgically treated...
Palliative care (PC) is a relatively new field in Brazil, but this knowledge of great importance medical practice.To evaluate the degree confidence among students and first-year second-year internal medicine residents addressing issues death terminal illness with patients their families.A modified version Self-Efficacy Care Scale was applied to 293 first year sixth at School Medicine São José do Rio Preto 43 or second practice same institution 2015. The questionnaire evaluated students'...
Summary Background There is renewed interest in the role played by specific counter‐regulatory mechanisms to control inflammatory host response, poorly investigated human pathology. Here, we monitored expression of two anti‐inflammatory mediators, annexin 1 and galectin‐1, assessed their potential link glucocorticoids' (GCs) effective nasal polyposis (NP). Methods Total patterns mRNA protein were analysed quantitative real‐time PCR (qPCR) Western blotting analyses, whereas ultrastructural...
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury results from inflammation and oxidative stress, among other factors. Because of its anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties, the Brazil nut (BN) might attenuate IR renal injury.The aim present study was to investigate whether intake BN prevents or reduces kidney inflammation, improving function decreasing stress.Male Wistar rats were distributed into six groups (N=6/group): SHAM (control), treated with 75 150 mg BN, IR, BN. The procedure consisted right...
INTRODUÇÃO: A importância das autópsias é um tema comum de discussão tanto no Brasil como em todo o mundo, já que pode elucidar as causas óbito e tem valor social muito amplo. Entretanto, esta prática vem sendo gradualmente considerada desnecessária, tendo ocorrido declínio número exames post-mortem. OBJETIVOS: Comparar diagnóstico clínico patológico pacientes com difícil pre-mortem. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados todos os casos (em total 98) oriundos três unidades terapia intensiva...
Chronic inflammation during morbid obesity significantly alters cutaneous tissue. Large weight loss achieved after bariatric surgery minimizes or halts damage caused by metabolic syndrome, but further deteriorates the clinical condition of skin. Postbariatric skin flaccidity produces major difficulties to plastic surgery. In this study, we analyzed differences in protein composition between patients with and those large established correlations differentially expressed proteins...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of mitomycin C (MMC) in preventing recurrence pterygium following conjunctival autograft transplantation (CAT). Ki-67 antigen to epithelial cell proliferation and fibroblast nuclear kariometry were used assist treatment evaluation. METHODS: Twenty-nine patients with recurrent divided into three groups: Group (G) 1 - CAT placebo eyedrops (PED); G2 CAT, 0.015% MMC subconjunctivally, PED; G3 0.02% eyedrops. Immunohistochemistry for nuclei performed on...
Lymph node metastasis is one of the most important prognostic factors in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) critical for delineating their treatment. However, clinical histological criteria diagnosis nodal status remain limited. In present study, we aimed to characterize proteomic profile lymph from HNSCC patients. used one- two-dimensional electrophoresis mass spectrometry analysis HNSCC. Comparison metastatic non-metastatic nodes showed 52 differentially expressed proteins...
Autonomous and critical reflection on decision-making processes is also the object of construction in higher education.Such capacity essential for professional ethical action can be operationalized as "moral competence", referring to ability make judgments based principles, even adverse situations which subject does not find support their opinions.This evaluation simulates complex conflicting dilemmatic situations, frequent practice, especially those dealing with human lives social...
