Cardiac dysfunction has been described in patients with cirrhosis. Conventional echocardiographic methods are frequently unable to detect abnormalities at rest and have limitations. We aimed evaluate cardiac function cirrhosis assessing: (i) left ventricular systolic using speckle-tracking imaging; (ii) diastolic a tissue-Doppler based algorithm comparing it previously proposed definition of (DD).We included 109 hospitalized ambulatory 18 healthy controls. Detailed evaluation was performed...

RESUMO Introdução: As malformações broncopulmonares (MBP) são anomalias do trato respiratório inferior que incluem congênitas das vias aéreas pulmonares (MCVAP), cistos broncogênicos (CB), sequestros (SBP) e enfisema lobar congênito (ELC). A detecção pré-natal em países de baixa média renda é menos comum alta renda. Este estudo pretende mostrar a experiência na abordagem cirúrgica da MBP um centro brasileiro, com ênfase evolução clínica nos resultados cirúrgicos, conforme época diagnostico...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Bronchopulmonary malformations (BPM) are lower respiratory tract anomalies that include congenital of the pulmonary airways (CMPA), bronchogenic cysts (BC), bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPS), and lobar emphysema (CLE). Prenatal detection in low- middle-income countries is less common than high-income ones. This study aims to show experience surgical approach BPM a Brazilian center, with emphasis on clinical evolution results, according time diagnosis (prenatal...
ABSTRACT Bronchopleural fistula is an abnormal communication between the bronchial tree and pleural space. Necrotizing pneumonia a catastrophic infection of lungs characterised by necrosis interstitial tissue. Although rarely reported, it has been described as complication COVID‐19. The usual treatment for bronchopleural involves endoscopic or surgical procedures.

We aimed to evaluate the impact of emergency single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) on diagnosis and treatment for active overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).SBE procedures OGIB were retrospectively reviewed sub-divided according types: active-overt inactive-overt bleeding. The patient's history, laboratory results, endoscopic findings therapeutic interventions registered. Emergency SBE was defined as an endoscopy that performed OGIB, within 24 hours clinical presentation.Between...
In children with tracheobronchomalacia, surgical management should be reserved for the most severe cases and specific to type location of tracheobronchomalacia.

ABSTRACT Hemochromatosis is a hereditary iron–overload disease linked to HLA. The clinical expression of hemochromatosis influenced by sex and age. However, other factors must account for the notorious heterogeneity independent sex, age, HLA phenotype. present study attempts clarify some these additional based on exhaustive statistical analysis data collected from 43 selected patients with hemochromatosis. focused three groups variables: first group included variables reflecting disease;...
Liver cirrhosis has been shown to affect cardiac performance. However dysfunction may only be revealed under stress conditions. The value of non-invasive tests in diagnosing cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is unclear. We sought investigate the response pharmacological stimulation with dobutamine patients using cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Most foreign bodies in the airway are removed by respiratory endoscopy. Rarely, removal of body has to be performed through endoscopic control tracheotomy or tracheostomy. This article reports three cases children tracheal opening.Retrospective review records with report who aspirated into airway. In first case, there was rupture tracheostomy tube, aspiration its distal portion. Endoscopic The second child a pen cap. It could not endoscopy because it would pass subglottic region. Cervical...
