Color stability of acrylic resins is essential for preserving the aesthetic appearance denture bases over time. This study explores how food pigments and thermal changes affect color commonly used base resins. Four were tested: three heat-cured with different characteristics (Zhermack® Villacryl H Plus V2, V4, Rapid FN V4) one self-cured resin S V4). To simulate oral environment, underwent 1000 cycles between 5 °C 55 °C, followed by a 7-day immersion period in beverages such as coffee, red...
A 62-year-old Caucasian female patient presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and fever 1 day after administration of COVID-19 vaccine. Bloodwork revealed anaemia thrombocytosis. Abdominal CT angiography showed a mural thrombus at the emergence coeliac trunk, hepatic splenic arteries, extensive thrombosis superior inferior mesenteric veins, portal vena cava, extending to left common iliac vein. The spleen displayed areas infarction. Aetiological investigation included assessment congenital...
The objective of the study was to evaluate fluoride concentration in bottled water available on market, comparison with values printed bottle label. Two hundred and twenty-nine samples were collected from 35 brands several supermarkets, grocery stores snack bars high turnover different regions municipality São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, 2006. Fluoride concentrations determined by duplicate analysis using an ion-specific electrode. ranged 0.01 2.04 mg/l, significant differences between...
Postmenopausal period has been associated to different symptoms such as hot flashes, vulvovaginal atrophy, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and others. Clinical studies have described postmenopausal women presenting HSDD can benefit from the association of testosterone conventional hormonal therapy. Testosterone linked development cardiovascular diseases including hypertension it also increases cytochrome P-450-induced 20-HETE synthesis which in turn results vascular dysfunction....
Hepatectomy (Hp) is an alternative approach for the treatment of gastric carcinoma liver metastases (GCLM). However, prognostic factors that may assist patient selection are still controversial. Several pathologic features, such as growth pattern (GP), associated with prognosis in colorectal cancer metastases, were never investigated GCLM. Our principal aim was to assess if GP has impact on GCLM.Review clinical and pathological characteristics 19 consecutive patients submitted surgical...
Arginine is an amino acid determinant in the metabolic, immune and reparative responses to severe trauma. The present study aims determine argininemia plasma arginine bioavailability (PAB) critical trauma patients analyze its correlation with prognosis.
Citrullinemia is been reported as a quantitative parameter of the enterocyte mass and function.The objective this research to analyse value fasting stimulated citrullinemias in intestinal function evaluation.A case-control study was undertaken, including 11 patients with short bowel syndrome, 13 submitted malabsorptive bariatric surgery healthy controls. Plasma levels amino acids were determined, before after stimulation test oral Lglutamine, by ion exchange chromatography.Citrullinemia...
Background: Previous studies suggest that intestinal epithelial stem cells (IESC), critical drivers of homeostasis and regeneration, include two subpopulations: crypt-based columnar "position +4" cells, identified by Lgr5 Bmi1 biomarkers, respectively. Teduglutide is an enterotrophic counterpart glucagon-like peptide 2. This study aimed to investigate the response putative IESC surgical injury teduglutide administration on animal model resection anastomosis. Methods: Wistar rats (n = 59)...
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare condition that most commonly occurs in the setting of acute myeloidleukaemia (AML) or other chronic myeloproliferative disorders. It presents as an abnormal growth can develop anywhere human body, and its clinical manifestations are often non-specific. We present case patient admitted to emergency room with bowel obstruction. After careful assessment, she underwent right hemicolectomy. thorough examination surgical pathology specimen, including testing wide...
Acute gastric dilation with perforation is a rare clinical entity whose aetiology not completely understood.[1][1] This problem may occur secondary to trauma, diabetes mellitus, electrolyte disturbances, volvulus, infection, psychiatric or eating disorders, in the immediate
Introducción: la hipoglutaminemia es común en los pacientes críticos, pero las indicaciones para suplementación con glutamina exógena siguen siendo controvertidas.Este estudio pretende determinar el perfi l de glutaminemia quirúrgicos críticos e investigar su correlación índices gravedad y pronóstico.Métodos: se realizó un prospectivo 28 adultos.Las aminoacidemias cuantifi caron mediante cromatografía intercambio iónico momento del ingreso primer tercer día, compararon 11 individuos sanos.Se...
Purpose: To investigate the inflammatory and redox responses to teduglutide on an animal model of laparotomy intestinal anastomosis. Methods: Wistar rats (n=62) were allocated into four groups: “Ileal Resection Anastomosis” vs. “Laparotomy”, each one split “Postoperative Teduglutide Administration” “No Treatment”; euthanized at third or seventh day. Ileal blood samples recovered baseline euthanasia. Flow cytometry was used study response (IL-1α, MCP-1, TNF-α, IFN-γ IL-4 levels), oxidative...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health burden and may arise as complication of solid organ transplantation. Our study aimed to assess the incidence CRC in kidney liver transplanted patients at tertiary reference center describe their clinical pathological features. Twelve patients, 10 men two women, with mean age 60 years, composed our cohort, ten them submitted resection. Transplanted was five seven. Regarding overall survival, renal transplantation were all deceased 5 years after...
