Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of cardiovascular risk factors associated with insulin resistance and driven by underlying factors, including visceral obesity, systemic inflammation, cellular dysfunction. The prevalence this condition among children adolescents has increased considerably in the last four decades. Thus, use noninvasive diagnostic techniques may allow early interventions population, preventing development or metabolic impairments adulthood. Objective: To...
Background: Excess body fat has been growing alarmingly among adolescents, especially in low income and middle countries where access to health services is scarce. Currently, the main method for assessing overweight adolescents mass index, but its use criticized sensitivity high specificity, which may lead a late diagnosis of comorbidities associated with excess fat, such as cardiovascular diseases. Thus, aim this study was develop computational model using linear regression predict obesity...
We evaluate the genetic characterization of 132 HIV-1 pol sequences from children and adolescents undergoing antiretroviral therapy in Northeast Brazil. Phylogenetic recombination analyses were performed using maximum likelihood method SeaView version 4 SIMPLOT software. Most individuals harbored B (84.8%) BF recombinants (9.8%), although other non-B subtypes detected: C (1.5%), F (2.4%), BC (1.5%). Antiretroviral resistance was 47% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 38.7%-55.4%). Non-nucleoside...
Abstract Prostate cancer is the most common type of among men and one that causes deaths in world. To start diagnosis prostate cancer, basically are used digital rectal examination (DRE) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Currently, biopsy only procedure able to confirm it has a high financial cost, very invasive procedure. In this research, new method suggested aid screening patients at risk cancer. The was developed based on clinical variables (age, race, diabetes mellitus (DM),...
An intelligent system for predicting the body fat percentage (%BF) in adolescents was developed based on socio-demographic and clinical variables that were easily measurable through a database of 770 both masculine feminine genders, aged between 10 19 years, from public educational São Luís Maranhão – Brazil. Predictive performance assessed by following metrics: precision, sensitivity, specificity, area under ROC curve (AUROC). The method compared to usual anthropometric parameters: mass...
Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem around the world and this early diagnosis still great challenge as it asymptomatic in its stages. Thus, order to identify variables capable of assisting CKD monitoring, machine learning techniques statistical analysis use has shown itself be extremely promising. For work, unsupervised learning, discriminant were used.Clinical Relevance - Discriminating characterization assist differentiate groups patients different stages Kidney Disease...
Introduction: People living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) are at high cardiovascular risk (CVR) due to chronic immune activation by the virus, generating a persistent inflammatory state, and use of antiretrovirals (ARVs). Hypothesis: Factors specific PLHIV, such as viral load (CV), TCD4 (CD4) cell count, ARV class duration use, related higher CVR in this population. Methods: This is quantitative cross-sectional observational study, composed 276 PLHIV on therapy, treated Center for Attention Sexually...
