BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health challenge, affecting up to 13.4% of the population and ranking as third fastest-growing cause death. It projected become fifth leading loss years life by 2040. Advanced CKD necessitates renal replacement therapy (RRT), including hemodialysis transplantation, both which heavily rely on vascular access. Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are preferred for due lower infection risks superior patency compared long-staying...
Background: The use of long term devices for chemotherapy in neoplastic diseases is very common. CAVA trial was an extensive study that prospectively evaluated more than a thousand patients undergoing and randomized them to three groups: using PICC, Port or Hickmann type catheters. For this study, specific questionnaire elaborated, called the Venous access device quality life (QolVAD), aim which assess impact (Hickmann type, PICC thoracic Port) on patients' routine. However, there no...
Objectives: To evaluate the total number of surgical procedures for varicose vein treatment performed within Brazilian Unified Public Health System (SUS) and Private (PHS) between 2015 2023 to analyze their differences regarding over time, financial investments, in hospital mortality rates. Materials Methods: Data on surgeries were extracted from SUS database procedural code table provided by National Supplementary Agency (ANS), which reports conducted PHS Brazil. The data included...
Objective: Previous studies suggest that arginine vasopressin may have a role in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes by altering liver glycogenolysis, insulin, glucagon secretion pituitary ACTH release. We tested whether plasma copeptin, the stable C-terminal fragment of prohormone, was associated with insulin resistance MetS Swiss population-based study. Design method: analyzed data from Kidney Project on Genes Hypertension. Copeptin assessed an immunoluminometric assay. Insulin derived...
2. Abstract Introduction Patients with acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis should use temporary catheters (THC) due to the urgency and potential reversibility of condition. So far, three studies in North America indicate a higher risk catheter-related issues COVID-19 patients needing hemodialysis. This study examines functionality complications access at Brazilian hospital. Methodology A prospective analysis was conducted referral center between May July 2020. During this time,...
2. Abstract Objectives We aimed to improve previously described methods for confection of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) in porcine animal models, reducing surgical procedure time and specimen mortality. Methods A total 18 swine underwent a order confect TAAA. All anesthetic precautions were taken. the procedures carried out via laparotomy retroperitoneal access. An autologous peritoneum patch was used make aneurysm 2 animals, bovine pericardium 16. animals followed up...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in position totally implantable central venous catheters(TIVC) tips patients with mammary hypertrophy, comparing them without condition both supine and upright position. Methods: This a prospective involving consecutive who underwent implantation catheters (TIVC) internal jugular or subclavian veins reservoir placement on thoracic wall. Data were collected regard demographic clinical features included patients, including: age...
Spontaneous non-aneurysmal aortic rupture is rare and usually attributed to penetrating ulcers, infections, tumor infiltrations, or inflammatory collagen diseases. Chronic infrequent but extremely in aortas, which makes diagnosis difficult because the absence of an aneurysm can mislead physician rule out rupture. Here, we describe case 85-year-old male, who was undergoing oncological investigation for weight loss, inappetence, back pain. Computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging...
