Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the influence physical activity on heart rate (HR) recovery, after treadmill exercise testing, in asymptomatic adults, with and without familial risk factors (FR) for cardiovascular disease. Two hundred fifty (250) adults both sexes aged 18 59 years were included study. None participants had a history disease or used medications chronic diseases. All individuals underwent testing using Ellestad protocol. Delta values calculated by...

Introduction Many authors have written about the need to treat patients closer their beds, in order observe them more as distinct people.The FAST HUG mnemonic, which consists of a checklist, was suggested an idea be employed everyday, by professionals dealing with who are critically ill.Minding these questions and motivated follow patients' treatment closer, we put into practice instrument developed Jean-Louis Vincent, evaluating seven most important procedures ill patients, performed...

Introduction Septic patients frequently develop critical illness myopathies (CIMs) that may represent a crucial factor for prolonged intensive care unit treatment and ventilator weaning delay.Experimental fi ndings have identifi ed oxidative stress plays role in causing muscle depletion chronic pathological states like sepsis.It is well documented regular moderate physical exercise can decreased enhance antioxidant functions.Objective To investigate whether training reduces damage septic...

The article is a theoretical reflection of the particularities Higher Education in Brazil area Social Work and demands private logic that imposes professional profile aligned with neoliberal logic, countercurrent organizations category have been resisting defense guarantee training linked to forged last thirty years called Ethical-Political Project.Therefore, it concluded essential apprehend main trends involve inseparable relationship between work.

Regional differences among blood flow and oxygen uptake are widely cited but not well explained. The lactate shuttle concept, alternative sets of production, nowadays, challenges our comprehension about delivery consumption. Recent studies have shown the prognostic value gradients measured from central venous to pulmonary artery circulation. Our data represent one sample 4-year experimental research, trying build a conceptual framework related dynamic in different hypoxic states.

ObjectivesTo characterize an experimental model of pulmonary embolism by studying hemodynamics, lung mechanics and histopathologic derangements caused microembolism in pigs.To identify alterations after that may be similar to those evidenced inflammatory conditions.Materials methods Ten Large White pigs (weight 35-42 kg) were instrumented with arterial catheters, was induced five injection polystyrene microspheres (diameter ~300 µM), order obtain a mean pressure twice the baseline value.Five...

Introduction Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a recognized trigger of systemic inflammatory response, usually related to postoperative acute lung injury (ALI).As an attempt dampen steroids have been perioperatively administered patients.Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), regulator the endotoxin receptor, implicated in pathogenesis ALI.We previously detected peak circulating levels MIF, 6 hours post CPB.Experimental data shown that may induce MIF secretion by...

The awareness of the diagnostic difficulty and documented high mortality risk perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) has led to wide use work up rule out PMI after major noncardiac operations.This caused stable postoperative patients be kept in monitored hospital beds for extended periods time subjected additional tests.We hypothesized that is and, therefore, identify these justifiable.We performed following study prove our hypothesis.All recovery room operations who underwent were...

Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a Brazilian ICU.Methods: This prospective observational, non-interventional study, included all consecutive patients with ARDS criteria [1] admitted ICU tertiary hospital, between January 1997 and September 2001.Were collected fashion following variables: age, gender, APACHE II score at admission diagnosis, cause ARDS, presence AIDS, cancer immunosuppression, occurrence barotrauma, performance...
