This study aimed to evaluate lung function, functional capacity, quality of life, functionality, and disability in individuals diagnosed with Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (IFLD). The research employed a cross-sectional design included participants confirmed diagnosis IFLD. Variables under investigation included: 1. Sociodemographic factors; 2. Pulmonary Function; 3. Functional Capacity; 4. Quality life; 5. Functioning Disability assessed using the World Health Organization Assessment...
The aim of this study was to investigate, through the single-cell gel (comet) assay, whether vitamin C is able protect against renovascular hypertension-induced genotoxicity in multiple organs. A total 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: negative control (n = 6); animals treated with hypertensive 10) and 10). Hypertension induced as a result partial obstruction left renal artery by means silver clip during 6 weeks. Vitamin administered at 150 mg/kg 7 consecutive days before...
Sleep loss has been implicated in triggering the hypertension. The goal of present study was investigated possible mechanisms underlying cardiovascular alterations after acute paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD). Male Wistar rats were assigned two experimental groups: (1) control and (2) PSD for 24 h using modified single platform method. Paradoxical deprived exhibited higher blood pressure, heart rate (HR) impaired baroreceptor sensitivity. After pharmacological autonomic double blockade...
Spirometry has been used as the main strategy for assessing ventilatory changes related to occupational exposure particulate matter (OEPM). However, in some cases, one of its limitations, it may not be sensitive enough show abnormalities before extensive damage, seen restrictive lung diseases. Therefore, we hypothesized that cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) better than spirometry detect early impairment caused by OEPM. We selected 135 male workers with at least year exposure. After...
A professora Silke Weber da UFPE, Conselheira do CNE/CES, em seu artigo intitulado; Como e onde formar professores: Espaços confronto apresenta com bastante propriedade o lugar dado à formação de professores na legislação educacional, destacando elementos que intervieram passagem indicação nível formal requerido para a preocupação próprio núcleo formação, ser realizada superior.
Objetivo: Na hepatite autoimune tipo 1, que acomete predominantemente mulheres acima de 16 anos, a detecção dos anticorpos anticelulares por imunofluorescência indireta (Hep-2-IFI) são extrema importância para estabelecer diagnóstico, classificar doença e definir o prognóstico. Hep-2-IFI com padrão nuclear homogêneo, ou pontilhado fino, mostra-se presente em cerca 50% casos 1. Por sua vez, anticorpo antimúsculo liso (SMA), cujo antígeno-alvo é actina F, tem alta prevalência (85%) considerado...
Previous studies identified restrictive ventilator disorder (RVD) as a predictor of incident hypertension. Low physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were also recognized causes Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the role PA CRF mediators spirometric indices blood pressure in adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1362 adults aged 18-80 years selected from Epidemiology Human Movement Study (EPIMOV). We performed spirometry measure FVC FEV1. Peak oxygen uptake...
Introduction: Among the instruments to assess level of physical activity in daily life (LPADL), questionnaires are cost advantageous and accelerometers more accurate. Recent studies have shown poor agreement between these methods. Hypothesis: We tested hypothesis that combination questionnaire accelerometer is best strategy prevalence inactivity adults. Objective: To evaluate compare adults, identified by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), triaxial accelerometry both....
Aim Evaluate and compare the proportion of PI associated factors by IPAQ questionnaire, triaxial accelerometry combination both. Adults aged ( 18 years were enrolled (n = 250). Methods We considered as < 600 MET-min/wk in total score, 150 min/wk moderate-to-vigorous physical activity 7 days accelerometry, both criteria. Clinical assessment, spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise test, bioelectrical impedance, isokinetic dynamometry, postural balance, six-minute walk test also performed. For...
Individuals with ischemic heart disease present O2 pulse morphology early flattening (plateau) during CPET. Despite this response is well known in patients disease, the clinical relevance of these changes non-cardiopathic unknown. The aim study was to quantify prevalence adults and verify its association cardiovascular risk factors. A cross-sectional conducted 824 aged 18-80 years selected from Epidemiology Human Movement Study (EPIMOV). We evaluated anthropometrics, body composition risk....
The systematic intake of an unbalanced diet is important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause death in entire world.Most studies address this issue using genetically manipulated mice.This study aims to investigate effect a cholesterol-enriched on cardiac and hemodynamic parameters conscious wild type mice.Twenty male, three-month-old C57BL/6 mice were distributed two groups: (CTL) control, with receiving standard commercial chow (CHO) cholesterol group, during 15...
Renovascular hypertension is associated with increased renal sympathetic nerve activity (rSNA), baroreflex dysfunction and oxidative stress. We tested whether AT1 receptor blockade would produce systemic antioxidant effects and, comparatively, stress reduction an cardiovascular alterations. Losartan (Lo, 30mg/kg/day) or vitC (vC,150mg/kg/day) were orally administered for 1 week by the 6th after left artery clipping (2K1C). Systemic was evaluated balance of blood concentrations TBARS...
