Background: Naturalistic studies evaluate individuals in their usual way of living, presenting more "real-life" data regarding patients and diseases. Objective: To investigate demographic, clinical, genetic factors that could be predictive
Objective To assess the accuracy of sweat conductivity among newborns and very young infants. Design Prospective, population-based, diagnostic test study. Setting Public Statewide Newborn Screening Programme where incidence rate cystic fibrosis (CF) is ≈1:11 000. Patients Newborns infants with positive two-tiered immunoreactive trypsinogen. Interventions Sweat chloride were performed simultaneously, on same day facility by independent technicians, cut-off values 80 mmol/L 60 mmol/L,...
The clinical response to donepezil in patients with mild and moderate dementia was investigated relation the drug plasma concentration APOE CYP2D6 polymorphisms. In a prospective naturalistic observational study, 42 Alzheimer's disease (AD) AD cerebrovascular di sease who took (10 mg) for 12 months were evaluated. Their DNA genotyped, concentrations measured after 3, 6, months. Good responders scored ≥–1 on Mini-Mental State Examination at comparison baseline score. study results indicated...
Vancomycin is widely used to treat infections caused by Gram positive bacteria, mostly methicillin-resistant strains. Despite its therapeutic effectiveness, vancomycin a nephrotoxic drug that has been associated with the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we sought evaluate variability serum trough concentrations and determine incidence risk factors vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity (VAN) in non-critically ill patients.This was prospective cohort including Brazilian...
To investigate the prevalence and aetiology of bacteraemia following third molar extractions (B-TME), analysing factors affecting its development.The study group was formed 100 patients undergoing under general anaesthesia. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected at baseline, 30 s after a mandibular extraction 15 min completing final extraction. Samples inoculated into BACTEC aerobic anaerobic culture bottles processed in BacT/Alert. Subculture further identification bacteria isolated...
OBJECTIVE: To compare 28-day mortality rates and clinical outcomes in ICU patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia according to the diagnostic strategy used. METHODS: This was a prospective randomized trial. Of 73 included study, 36 37 were undergo BAL or endotracheal aspiration (EA), respectively. Antibiotic therapy based on guidelines adjusted results of quantitative cultures. RESULTS: The rate similar EA groups (25.0% 37.8%, respectively; p = 0.353). There no differences between...
Abstract Aim Current diversity patterns in local communities result from historical and contemporary events that operate at distinct spatial temporal scales. However, the contribution of large‐scale processes structuring species remain a contentious topic ecology. We investigated (species richness, composition number captures) understorey bird assemblages Amazonian unflooded ( terra firme ) forests. sought to understand whether areas endemism show diversity, replacements among occur while...
to verify the influence of dimethylsulfoxide and pentoxifylline on vitality cutaneous flaps in rats tissue repair process.were studied 30 Wistar rats, submitting them a 2cm wide by 8cm long dorsal flap, caudal base. We distributed animals three groups: Control Group (n=10) with application gauze moistened 0.9% Saline flap bed for seconds; Dimethylsulfoxide group (n=10), administration 1ml 5% divided into five injections 0.2ml transition segments; Pentoxifylline 20mg/kg, diluted segments....
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of isoxsuprine and nicotine on TRAM. METHODS: Forty eight 48 Wistar rats distributed into four Groups (n=12). All received medication managed daily for 20 days: saline solution (SA), (NI), (IS) (NI) + (IS). On day 21st were submitted to caudally based, right unipedicled TRAM flap after hours, made macroscopic evaluation surface flap, photographic documentation collection material histology. Data from analyzed by ANOVA microscopic Kruskal-Wallis test, with...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso e possíveis fatores associados em idosos entrevistados durante consultas realizadas Unidades Básicas de Saúde. MÉTODO: Trata-se um estudo transversal, base populacional, com amostra 57 pacientes idade entre 60 99 anos, residentes do município Ponto dos Volantes, Minas Gerais, incluindo as zonas rural urbana. A coleta dados se deu o ato da consulta médica, através roteiro eletrônico estruturado. associação os parâmetros nível foi avaliada...
Most prenatal screening programs for toxoplasmosis use immunoassays in serum samples of pregnant women. Few studies assess the accuracy tests dried blood spots, which are easy collection, storage, and transportation. The goals present study to determine performance evaluate agreement between an immunoassay spots a reference test women from population-based program Brazil. A cross-sectional was performed compare Imunoscreen Toxoplasmose IgM IgG (Mbiolog Diagnósticos, Ltda., Contagem, Minas...
OBJECTIVE:To investigate risk factors for the development of chronic kidney disease and death two years postliver transplantation.METHOD: Associations between clinical laboratory parameters survival post-liver transplant were analyzed in a cohort 148 adult patients with hepatic cirrhosis consecutively submitted to liver transplantation referral Brazilian center.RESULTS: Median age at was 56 (range, 20-73) years, 105 (70.9%) males.The prevalence was: stage 1 or no disease, 27.5%; 2, 33.8%; 3,...
