Abstract For Brazil, there are no nationwide data on HPV prevalence against which the impact of immunization program can be measured in future. Therefore, we aim to evaluate genital infection among adolescents and young adults Brazil. A cross-sectional, multicentric, survey was conducted between September 2016 November 2017. Sexually active unvaccinated women men aged 16 25 years old were recruited from 119 public primary care units, including all 26 state capitals Federal District. All...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent and lethal malignancy. This study examines differences in clinical prognostic characteristics of CRC between patients under 50 years those aged above, treated at reference hospital Southern Brazil. A retrospective cohort was conducted, analyzing data from the Cancer Hospital Registry Porto Alegre, RS. Patients diagnosed with colon or rectal adenocarcinoma January 2013 December 2017 were included. Variables analyzed included family history, alcoholism,...
Cancer is considered a multifactorial disease and its development could be associated with several factors, for example, rotenone exposition. Unfortunately, many cancers are resistant to chemotherapy, as cervical cancer. Regarding this, lemongrass remarkable natural product that presents antioxidant anticancer activities, which show therapeutic action against Thus, this study aimed investigate the of lemongrass. An in vitro was conducted using VERO (kidney cells) SiHa cell lines (cervical...
OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores clínicos e anatomopatológicos que possam influenciar o prognóstico de pacientes com câncer mama sintomas derrame pleural neoplásico. MÉTODOS: Trata-se um clínico coorte, no qual foram analisados prontuários médicos receberam diagnóstico neoplásico entre 2006 2010. Por meio da análise dos prontuários, identificamos as história mama. Para essas pacientes, coletamos dados relacionados ao tumor primário citopatológicos à metástase...
Following the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic in February 2020, one most important public health impacts was decrease demand for screening mammography, with consequent impact on early diagnosis breast cancer. Therefore, aim this study to compare initial clinical staging women cancer pre-pandemic and periods at reference hospital southern Brazil. We performed retrospective cross-sectional database surgical procedures female breast, comparing years 2019 2020. A total 1733 diagnostic...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To determine the role of urine cytology for ‘decoy cells’ as a screening tool polyomavirus type BK (BKV) infection in renal transplant recipients. <b><i>Study Design:</i></b> This was prospective cohort study patients undergoing transplantation between 2006 and 2010. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total 442 underwent decoy cells, 27.8% 1 examination only 72.2% more than one. Of 1,713 examinations...
Ratios between the blood cells are indirect measures of imbalance in pro-inflammatory status observed carcinogenesis and have been proposed as accessible feasible biomarkers to predict cancer prognosis. We aim evaluate prognostic significance neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) ratios Brazilian patients with luminal breast (LBC) treated tamoxifen. A retrospective cohort 72 operable LBC patients. Preoperative leukocyte platelet absolute values...
INTRODUCTION: One of the several metabolic pathways involved in breast carcinogenesis is human polymorphism mitochondrial targeting sequence Ala-9Val manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene, which has been previously associated with increased risk cancer females. Since there no previous report on this male cancer, objective study to analyze MnSOD a population males and females from southernmost state Brazil, compared healthy controls. METHODS: A case-control one hundred patients affected...
Bladder cancer (BCa) is the most frequent urinary tract neoplasm. BCa results in significant mortality when disease presents as muscle invasive. Around 75% to 80% of patients present with nonmuscle invasive bladder (NMIBC), but recurrence and progression are issues, compelling current guidelines recommend long-term surveillance. There therefore an urgent unmet need identify validate accurate biomarkers for detection improve quality life reduce costs health care providers, while maintaining...
To analyze the critical alarms predictors of clinical deterioration/sepsis for decision making in patients admitted to a reference hospital complex.An observational retrospective cohort study. The Machine Learning (ML) tool, Robot Laura®, scores changes vital parameters and lab tests, classifying them by severity. Inpatients over 18 years age were included.A total 122,703 extracted from platform, classified as 2 9. pre-selection (6 9) indicated 263 urgent alerts (0.2%), which, after...
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is a chronic liver disease with high prevalence in the general population and potential to evolve into cirrhosis.
