The purpose of the present study was to investigate morphological and quantitative alterations myenteric plexus neurons stomach rats with streptozotocin-induced chronic diabetes compare them those non-diabetic animals. Samples from body were used for whole-mount preparations stained NADH-diaphorase histological sections hematoxylin-eosin. It observed that cause a significant decrease on number neurons.

Although breast cancer treatments reduce mortality, their adverse effects can increase depression which impacts one's quality of life (QoL). Physical activity (PA) seems to improve the QoL survivors (BCS). However, an unanswered question is influence PA on in BCS with depressive symptoms. Thus, we analyzed persistent symptoms during 12 months follow-up. The sample included 70 female BCS. Depression and domains (i.e., functional capacity, physical limitations, body pain, general health...

Grande parte das escolioses surge, em geral, durante a fase de aceleração do crescimento vertebral, e isso torna as crianças os adolescentes potencialmente aptos desenvolvê-las. O objetivo é descrever prevalência escoliose estudantes uma escola pública correlacionar medida gibosidade com medidas radiológicas da deformidade. Para isso, foi realizado exame clínico 104 escolares (72,11% sexo feminino), na faixa etária 11 17 anos, através um método não-invasivo mensuração gibosidade. Este...

Overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions, especially among schoolchildren, become a global health problem. Many adaptations in postural organization are observed overweight obese children, which serious consequences. Posture assessment contributes to the understanding of these changes. The aim this study was assess changes lower limb posture children using specific method. Twenty-two subjects, 9 girls 13 boys, aged 5-9 years participated study. assessed by photogrammetry SAPo...

Abstract Objectives: Treatments for breast cancer (BC) can lead to physical and mental impairments which may affect quality of life (QoL). Physical activity (PA) is highly recommended this population due its protective effect against BC relapse ability reduce the health impact treatment. However, it not clear whether different domains PA are associated with better QoL survivors. The current study aimed verify relationship between Methods: sample consisted 128 women survivors, a mean age 58.2...

In this work, we investigated the effect of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) supplementation (200 mg/kg/day) on myenteric neurons ileum rats made diabetic by streptozotocin (35 mg/kg, i.v.). Four groups were used: (D), supplemented with ALC (DC), control (C) and (CC). After 15 weeks diabetes induction animals killed was collected subjected to whole-mount preparation evidence through histochemical technique NADH-diaphorase. The density seen in 12.72 mm2 showed no difference among groups, although...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) brings on reduced somatosensation, which can lead to changes in postural control. The objective of this study was evaluate control a standing position and different conditions, as well functional balance individuals with DPN, make the correlation between results obtained from assessment values test compare neuropathy group those group, checking for possible differences evaluation conditions both groups. included 13 women DPN (NG) 17 non-diabetic (CG)....

O estudo objetivou investigar a representação social dos termos "diabetes" e "pé diabético" em diferentes populações. Os participantes foram divididos grupos: diabético (GD); não-diabético (GN); profissional da área saúde nãodiabético (GP). Foram coletados os dados pessoais sujeitos responderam duas perguntas nas quais deveriam evocar cinco palavras que viessem à mente quando pensassem e, depois, diabético". material evocado foi analisado pelo software Ensemble de Programmes Permettant...

OBJETIVO: Verificar a relação entre gordura corporal total e de tronco com o desempenho da marcha em mulheres na menopausa. MÉTODOS: Trinta nove menopausa, idade 50 anos ou mais, foram avaliadas. As avaliações foram: peso estatura para cálculo do índice massa (IMC), composição pela técnica Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) utilizando um baropodômetro. variáveis utilizadas total, percentual tronco, enquanto as porcentagem tempo duplo apoio simples velocidade. divididas acordo mediana...

The objectives of this study were to compare sagittal plane alignment between subjects with spinal deformities and a group presenting no changes; test the reliability tool used, determine existence correlations deformity curvature measures. Forty young divided into two groups: control (n=20) changes or less than 0.5 cm in dorsal 0.7 lumbar curvature, an experimental greater those described for group. Spinal curvatures measured using water level-based by Adams test. Data collected from groups...

The physical exercise consists of trainable abilities such as strength and endurance. It can be inferred that the individual cardiac patient is dependent on it an associated therapy to drug treatment for a rapid lasting improvement their overall clinical status.

Summary In this study we investigated the effect of acetyl‐L‐carnitine (ALC) supplementation on myenteric neurons jejunum rats made diabetic at age 105 days by streptozotocin (35 mg/kg body weight). Four groups were used: non‐diabetic (C), supplemented with ALC (CC), (D), (DC). After 15 weeks diabetes induction blood was collected cardiac puncture to evaluate glycaemia and glycated haemoglobin. Next animals killed subjected whole‐mount preparation evidence through histochemical technique...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus when glycemic levels are poorly controlled. Sometimes DPN accompanied by vasculopathy (DPV), which can worsen the clinical prognosis. The aim this study was to analyze gait parameters nondiabetic individuals and diabetic with or without DPV. METHOD included 68 (50 65 years old) divided into three groups: people (n = 33), patients 18), both DVP 17). participants underwent evaluation using electronic...

The study aimed to verify the physiological injury behavior by stretching soleus muscle of rats, using a noninvasive experimental model.Twenty-four rats were used and divided into three groups eight animals: control group (A), that performed tetanus followed electrical stimulation sudden dorsiflexion left paw device equipped with mechanism rapid (B); only received (C).Three days later, animals killed, was resected segments.Morphological changes indicative damage appeared in all segments B....

The present study had the purpose of analysing morphological and quantitative characteristics neurons myenteric plexus stomach rats. Samples corpus were subjected to whole-mount preparations stained with NADH-diaphorase histological sections Hematoxilin-Eosin. It was verified that, on rats, muscular tunica shows two well defined layers, circular longitudinal, while oblique fibers are rare. located between these which makes their evidencing easier in this region. observed that near small...

The aim of this study was to evaluate gait stability in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy three conditions: habitual walking eyes open, closed, and open narrow base support. included 41 subjects, 18 (NG) 23 controls. Gait evaluated on a baropodometer using the Footwalk Pro software. following data were obtained: speed percentage time spent double stance single stance. Significant differences observed between groups all conditions for time, which reduced NG (p<0.05), increased...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that results in sensorimotor alterations. These changes affect balance and walking predispose affected patients to falls. The aim of this review was identify studies the recent literature assess gait parameters aspects involved walking. MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS PEDro databases were searched using following combination keywords: diabetic neuropathies x gait; diabetes gait, foot gait. After application selection criteria, 15 articles retrieved, summarized,...
