Introduction: Cardiac surgery has been the intervention of choice in many cases cardiovascular diseases.Susceptibility to postoperative complications, cardiac rehabilitation is indicated.Therapeutic resources, such as virtual reality helping rehabilitational process.The aim study was evaluate use functional patients period.Methods: Patients were randomized into two groups, Virtual Reality (VRG, n = 30) and Control (CG, 30).The response treatment assessed through independence measure (FIM),...
Resistance training is one of the most common kind exercise used nowadays. Long-term high-intensity resistance are associated with deleterious effects on vascular adjustments. On other hand, unclear whether low-intensity (LI-RT) able to induce systemic changes in tone. Thus, we aimed evaluate chronic LI-RT endothelial nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability mesenteric artery and cardiovascular autonomic modulation healthy rats. Wistar animals were divided into two groups: exercised (Ex) sedentary...
Arterial hypertension is a multifactorial chronic condition caused by either congenital or acquired factors.To evaluate the effects of Resistance Training (RT) on arterial pressure, and vascular reactivity morphology, L-NAME-treated hypertensive rats.Male Wistar rats (200 - 250 g) were allocated into Sedentary Normotensive (SN), Hypertensive (SH) Trained (TH) groups. Hypertension was induced adding L-NAME (40 mg/Kg) to drinking water for four weeks. pressure evaluated before after RT. RT...
Ginkgo biloba is the most popular phytotherapic agent used worldwide for treatment of several human disorders. However, mechanisms involved in protective actions on cardiovascular diseases remain poorly elucidated. Taking into account recent studies showing beneficial cholinergic signaling heart and hypothesis biloba-mediated neuroprotection, we aimed to investigate whether extract (GBE) promotes cardioprotection via activation a model isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Here, show...
Abstract Background: Early mobilization and physical exercise are considered fundamental components in cardiovascular surgery rehabilitation; however, occasionally they inadequate for inhibiting functional decline. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a promising tool to date, no randomized clinical trial has measured the effects of NMES on capacity quality life patients who undergo routine cardiac with short intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Therefore, we aimed investigate walking...
Background: D-limonene (DL) is a monoterpene and the major component in essential oil of citrus fruit. It presents antihyperglycemic vasodilatation activities. Objectives: This study evaluated cardiovascular effects potential antiarrhythmic DL rats. Methods: Hemodynamic electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters were measured male Wistar rats, which under anesthesia had been cannulated abdominal aorta lower vena cava electrodes subcutaneously implanted. In vitro approach, heart was removed...
The aim of this study was to identify the determinants distance walked in six-minute walk test (6MWD) patients undergoing cardiac surgery at hospital discharge. assessment performed preoperatively and Data from patient records were collected measurement Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) performed. (6MWT) Patients elective surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement eligible. older than 75 years who presented arrhythmia during protocol,...
The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension increases dramatically in women after menopause, however the mechanisms involved remain incompletely understood. Oxytocinergic (OTergic) neurons are largely present within paraventricular nucleus hypothalamus (PVN). Several studies have shown that OTergic drive from PVN to brainstem baroreflex sensitivity and improves autonomic control circulation. Since preautonomic express different types estrogen receptors, we hypothesize...
Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to high mortality, and pharmacological or percutaneous primary interventions do not significantly inhibit ischemia/reperfusion injuries, particularly those caused by oxidative stress. Recently, research groups have evaluated several naturally occurring antioxidant compounds for possible use as therapeutic alternatives traditional treatments. Studies demonstrated that d-limonene (DL), a monoterpene of citrus fruits, possesses cardiovascular properties. Thus,...
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of physiotherapeutic respiratory maneuvers on cerebral and cardiovascular hemodynamics blood gas variables.METHOD: A descriptive, longitudinal, prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial that included 20 critical patients with severe craniocerebral trauma who were receiving mechanical ventilation admitted to intensive care unit.Each patient was subjected vibrocompression increased manual expiratory flow (5 minutes each hemithorax), along subsequent airway...
The aim of this study was to investigate the wound healing activity atranorin cream (Patent requested) on excision wounds. Seventy-two male rats were anesthetized and an excisional performed. Then randomly assigned into three groups: untreated control group; 1 (group treated with 1% AT ointment); 5 5% ointment). Six animals each group euthanized 3, 7, 14 or 21 days after surgical procedures wounded areas analyzed removed. Serial histological sections obtained stained by histochemical...
Abstract Background and Purpose Pain assessment in Intensive Care Units ( ICU ) can be performed based on validated instruments as the Behavioral Scale BPS ). Despite existence of this clinical score, there is no Brazilian version it to assess critically ill patients. This study aimed translate into Portuguese, verify its psychometric properties (reliability, validity, responsiveness) correlation between pain measured heart rate HR ), blood pressure BP Ramsay, RASS scores. Methods intensity...
This work aimed to characterize and evaluate the antihypertensive effect of (-)-β-pinene/β-cyclodextrin (βP/β-CD) complex. The complex was prepared through physical mixture slurry complexation methods analyzed differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, diffraction X-ray, docking electron microscopy. Normotensive or L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats were used in pharmacological experiments. Mean arterial pressure...
<h3>INTRODUCTION:</h3> Brazil is a country with great climatic, socioeconomic, and cultural differences that does not yet have reference value for the 6-min walk test (6MWT) in healthy children. To avoid misinterpretation, use of equations to predict maximum distance should be established each country. <h3>OBJECTIVES:</h3> We sought establish values develop an equation children Brazil. <h3>METHODS:</h3> This cross-sectional multi-center study included 1,496 children, aged 7 12 y, assessed...
OBJECTIVE: During cardiac surgery, several factors contribute to the development of postoperative pulmonary complications.Non-invasive ventilation is a promising therapeutic tool for improving functionality this type patient.The aim study evaluate functional capacity and length stay patients in nosocomial intensive care unit who underwent prophylactic non-invasive after heart valve replacement.METHOD: The was controlled clinical trial, comprising 50 individuals both sexes were allocated by...
Introduction: Peripheral muscle strength has been little explored in the literature context of cardiac rehabilitation.Objective: To evaluate peripheral patients undergoing elective surgery.Methods: This was a longitudinal observational study.The measured using isometric dynamometry lower limb (knee extensors and flexors) at three different times: preoperatively (M1), day discharge (M2) hospital (M3).Participants received physiotherapy pre postoperatively during days hospitalization morning...
