Background Excessive air pollution in urban environments can impact morbidity and mortality. The authors evaluated the role of particulate matter2.5 (PM2.5) structural, geometric, functional remodeling hearts, using an experimental model myocardial infarction. Methods findings Seventy-five rats were divided into 5 groups: control (CG), CG exposed to PM2.5 (CGP), infarcted group (MI), immediately (IGP-I), previously kept after infarction (IGP-II). Greater deposition interstitial collagen...
Myocardial remodeling includes inappropriate collagen deposition in the interstitium. Erythropoietin (EPO) may have cardioprotective effects. We aimed to assess role of EPO on myocardial during chronic phase. studied 60 Wistar rats divided into following groups: control (CT), + (CT EPO), infarction (MI and (MI). The interstitial volume fraction (ICVF) was quantified echocardiography performed. asymmetric dimethylarginine glutathione by ELISA, used real-time PCR apoptosis inflammation....
INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. One-third of infected patients will develop cardiac form, which may progress to heart failure (HF). However, factors that determine progression remain unclear. Increased angiotensin II activity key player in pathophysiology HF. A functional polymorphism angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene associated with plasma activity. In CD, ACE inhibitors have beneficial effects supporting use this treatment...
The article gathers reviews of three books on different subjects, published in the December 2001 issue Revista UNIFA. "Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler addresses rapid social changes and human adaptation to technological innovations. "The Commanders" Bob Woodward discusses decision-making processes U.S. military operations Panama Gulf War. "Reinventing Government" David Osborne Ted Gaebler explores public sector transformation through entrepreneurial practices. Each review highlights main...
Effects of sympathectomy on myocardium remodeling and functionMaurı ´cio Rodrigues
Background Chagas disease is characterized by intense myocardial fibrosis stimulated the exacerbated production of inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Air pollution a serious public health problem also follows this same path. Therefore, air might amplify response increase fibrosis. Methods We studied groups Trypanosoma cruzi infected Sirius hamsters (Chagas=CH exposed to pollution=CH+P) 2 control (control healthy animals=CT pollution=CT+P). evaluated acute phase (60 days...
Metabolic, inflammatory, and autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction are present in patients with heart failure. However, whether these changes due to left ventricular or failure etiology is unknown. We evaluated metabolism inflammatory activity idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) Chagas (CHG) their correlation the ANS. Forty-six were divided into 3 groups: IDC, CHG, control. adiponectin, leptin, insulin, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha. ANS analyzed by rate variability...
Introduction The complex phenomenon of violence against women is determined by gender relations that, from a historical and social construction female male, the biological differences which gives unequal power between men women. This results in increased vulnerability women, exposing them to physical, psychological sexual violence. history early life trapped can contribute their involvement crimes misdemeanors. Objective To review production national international scientific knowledge about...
