Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common type of non-Hodgkin that incurable but often follows an indolent course. While survival improving thanks to advances in diagnosis, supportive care, and new therapies, understanding outcomes their impact on overall still limited. There are few studies FL Brazil, so this study aims evaluate the patient's profile, morbidity mortality treated by Brazilian national health service (SUS) risk factors associated with treatment failure. This nationwide 16 years...
Introdução: O manejo cirúrgico do Trauma Cranioencefálico Grave em crianças envolve abordagens específicas para minimizar danos e promover a recuperação. A avaliação inicial é crucial deve incluir realização de exames imagem determinar gravidade o tipo lesão. As intervenções cirúrgicas geralmente visam descompressão craniana, remoção hematomas ou correção fraturas. escolha procedimento depende da apresentação clínica condição neurológica criança. acompanhamento pós-operatório essencial...
Dietary supplements have improved performance and muscle hypertrophy in athletes nonathletes the past few decades. Theracurmin, a nutraceutical supplement based on curcumin, has been highlighted by its anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties physiological pathological conditions. This study aimed to investigate effects of theracurmin intake (300 mg/kg), containing 30 mg/kg male Swiss mice ( n = 66) under distinct protocols climbing stairs (strength exercise) their respective detraining...
Native fruits from the Brazilian Savannah, such as jatobá-do-Cerrado (Hymenaea stigonocarpa) and jenipapo (Genipa americana L.), have interesting sensory nutritional qualities. Jatobá-do-Cerrado consumption is limited due to its aroma texture. Jenipapo widely used in food cosmetics, though by-products (peel seeds) are often discarded. The present study evaluates aspects (proximate composition, antioxidant capacity, phenolic compounds, prebiotic potential) well...
As the proportion of population above age 65 grows, so too increases prevalence those individuals who are obese. This phenomenon an elderly with obesity is source much research and debate regards to treatment recommendations. It appears that older on extreme ends BMI spectrum, underweight morbidly obese, have increased risk mortality. One major concern in many may sarcopenic which can be worsened weight loss where some degree lean body mass inevitable. While various methods recommended it...
To assess the ability of anthropometric and body composition indicators in identifying insulin resistance (IR), determining cut-off points for those showing best efficacy.138 men were evaluated. Waist perimeter (WP), sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), conicity index, mass index (BMI), fat percent, waist-to-height, waist-to-hip waist-to-thigh ratios determined. IR was assessed by HOMA-IR index. Statistical analysis consisted Spearman correlation coefficient ROC (receiver operating...
Giardiasis, an intestinal infection caused by Giardia lamblia, was recently included in the 'Neglected Diseases Initiative' World Health Organization. Symptomatic patients can develop mild diarrhea up to a severe malabsorption syndrome, and children may show significantly impaired cognitive physical development. Currently, nitroimidazoles are main class of antibiotic used treat giardiasis. Despite efficacy these drugs, adverse effects reported resistance have increased, encouraging studies...
Giardiasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide, and disease an important cause diarrhoea malabsorption in children immunosuppressed individuals. However, there no evidence that characterises malnutrition as aggravating factor for this disease. We evaluated changes villi structures to examine association between Giardia lamblia infection. used 32 gerbils, divided into 4 groups: Control (CT) Infected (CTIn), which each received a 20% protein diet, Malnourished (MN) (MNIn),...
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan that elicits a potent inflammatory response during the acute phase of infection. Herein, we evaluate whether T. infection alters natural course aortic lesions. ApoE knockout mice were infected with gondii, and at 5 weeks infection, serum, feces, liver cholesterol; lesion size, cellularity, cytokines; levels serum nitrite gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) analyzed. Our results showed cholesterol atherogenic lipoproteins reduced after The reduction...
Nowadays, the number of obese people in world has reached alarming proportions. During expansion adipose tissue, a functions such as activation and release cytokines hormones may be affected. This leads body to pro-inflammatory pattern, which affect proper functioning many tissues. Thus, studying mechanisms by obesity induces physiological disorders is necessary, facilitated use animal models, particular rodents. We sought characterize metabolic tissue changes resulting from diet rich fats...
OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a habilidade de indicadores antropométricos e composição corporal em identificar resistência à insulina (RI), determinando-se os pontos corte para que apresentarem melhor eficácia. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 138 homens. Determinou-se: perímetro da cintura (PC), diâmetro abdominal sagital (DAS), índice conicidade (IC), massa (IMC), percentual gordura (%GC), (IS) relações cintura-estatura (RCE), cintura-quadril (RCQ) cintura-coxa (RCCoxa). A RI foi avaliada pelo HOMA-IR....
The aim of the study was to assess efficacy Saccharomyces boulardii in experimental treatment giardiasis and its impact on intestinal integrity some functions gerbils infected with Giardia lamblia. 28 ( Meriones unguiculatus ), aged 4-6 weeks, were divided into four groups: untreated uninfected control (CT); G. lamblia (IGL); treated S. (SB); (ITSB). SB ITSB groups received 15 days prior being . continued until completion experiment (22 nd day). IGL gavage-inoculated ensuring one-week...
FUNDAMENTO: A correlação entre aumento de gordura visceral e resistência à insulina coloca o diâmetro abdominal sagital perímetro da cintura como instrumentos potenciais para a predição insulina. OBJETIVO: Avaliar reprodutibilidade diferentes aferições do analisar poder discriminante dos mesmos predizer MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 190 homens adultos. O (menor cintura, maior abdominal, nível umbilical ponto médio as cristas ilíacas) (nível umbilical, menor imediatamente acima crista ilíaca...

A foi avaliada por análise impedância bioelétrica. caracterização tumoral realizada através avaliação dos obtidos...
Introduction The aim of the present study was to investigate association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1927914 A/G in TLR4 gene and immunological profile household contacts (HHC) leprosy patients. Leprosy classification is usually complex requires assessment several clinical laboratorial features. Methods Herein, we have applied distinct models descriptive analysis explore qualitative/quantitative changes chemokine cytokine production HHC further categorized according...
OBJETIVOS: Investigar a habilidade de indicadores bioquímicos do perfil lipídico plasmático em identificar resistência à insulina (RI), avaliada pelo índice HOMA-IR (Homeostasis Model Assessment - Insulin Resistance). MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 138 homens saudáveis (20-59 anos). Analisaram-se os seguintes lipídico: triglicérides (TG), colesterol total (CT), HDL-C, LDL-C, e as relações CT/HDL-C TG/HDL-C. Considerou-se o percentil 75 como ponto corte para HOMA-IR. A análise estatística constou...
Chocolate milk has gained recent scientific support as a recovery drink. However, it is known that high exercise-demand triggers gastrointestinal discomfort which continues post-exercise, thereby hindering this nutritional strategy. In addition, those who are lactose intolerant cannot benefit from milk-based beverage. Thus, the aim of preliminary study was to develop low-fat, lactose-free, and leucine-enriched chocolate cow prototype (CML) representing nutrition-related recommendations for...
