ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of arterial hypertension and obesity population attributable fraction that is due to in Brazilian adolescents. METHODS Data from participants Study Cardiovascular Risks Adolescents (ERICA), which was first national school-based, cross-section study performed Brazil were evaluated. The sample divided into 32 geographical strata clusters schools classes, with regional representation. Obesity classified using body mass index according age sex....
The Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents (Portuguese acronym, "ERICA") is a multicenter, school-based country-wide cross-sectional study funded by the Brazilian Ministry Health, which aims at estimating prevalence cardiovascular risk factors, including those included definition metabolic syndrome, random sample adolescents aged 12 to 17 years cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Approximately 85,000 students were assessed public and private schools. Brazil continental country...
Abstract Resting tremor (RT) is a Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptom whose relationship with the dopaminergic system remains puzzling. To clarify this relation, we analysed data from 432 subjects PPMI (Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative) database, second cohort of 57 PD patients and controls third 86 referred for dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography (DaT-SPECT). Caudate, but not putamen binding potential (CBP, PBP) was higher in RT. The presence CBP at...
To evaluate the feasibility, safety and accuracy of dobutamine/atropine stress echocardiography (DASE) for detection coronary artery disease (CAD) in renal transplant candidates.Patients candidates to were submitted consecutively DASE angiography. The adopted angiographic criteria CAD an obstructive lesion > or = 50% 70%.148 patients underwent Mean age was 52 +/- 9 years, 69% males; 27% had diabetic nephropathy 73% LVH; 63% asymptomatic; 36% 22% presented obstructions 70%, respectively....
A specific acromegaly-related cardiomyopathy has been described in the literature, largely Caucasians, which is independent of other risk factors, mainly hypertension.This study assessed cardiac changes acromegalics significant ethnic diversity and also relevance aetiopathogenic factors involved, such as disease activity hypertension.It a cross-sectional with comparative control group.In this study, 37 acromegalic patients (20 Intermediate-skinned (IS), 14 Dark-skinned (DS) three...
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis have high rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although structural functional echocardiographic alterations in patients undergoing been the subject several survival analysis studies, prognostic value these is not well established literature.To determine parameters CKD hemodialysis.Sixty consecutive were clinically evaluated underwent Doppler echocardiography, being followed for 19 ± 6 months. The outcome measures fatal...
Abstract Motor subtypes in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) are unstable over time, limiting mechanistic insights and biomarker discovery. We focused on Rest Tremor (RT) as a symptom to test for phenotype stability link them specific circuits disease mechanisms. Using the PPMI cohort data 5 years we found that RT is more stable than common Tremor-Dominant definitions, also seen therapy response. At time of diagnosis, population therapy-resistant patients was enriched with brain-first PD profile...
Abstract Background Depression is a common condition among cancer patients, across several points in the disease trajectory. Although presenting higher prevalence rates than general population, it often not reported or remains unnoticed. Moreover, somatic symptoms of depression are oncological context and should be dismissed as symptom cancer. It becomes even more challenging to track psychological distress period after treatment, where connection with healthcare system typically sporadic....
