Recent evidence suggests that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with diet. Our aim was to investigate the dietary patterns of a Brazilian population this condition and compare them recommended diet.A cross-sectional study conducted on 96 patients before any dietetic counseling. All underwent abdominal ultrasound, biochemical tests, evaluations, anthropometric evaluations. Their food intake assessed by semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire 24-hour recall.The median...
Primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare malignancy which misdiagnosis and mistreatment very frequent. Differential diagnosis of the lesion, based on noninvolvement blood vessels, includes: fatty infiltration, cirrhosis, amyloid primary hepatomas, metastatic neoplasms.We describe case 69-year-old man who presented with 15% weight loss general fatigue over previous 9 months. Physical examination revealed hepatomegaly without lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly. Magnetic resonance imaging showed...
The presence of anti-CCP is an important prognostic tool rheumatoid arthritis (RA). But research still ongoing on its relationship with disease activity and functional capacity. To study the between activity, capacity structural damage indexes, by means conventional radiography (CR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in cases established RA. Cross-sectional RA patients 1–10 duration. Participants underwent clinical evaluation anti-CCP. Disease was assessed using Clinical Activity Index...
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) could provide valuable findings for tendon regeneration. A non-invasive image method that can effectively evaluate the quality of scar tissue has not yet been employed. Thirteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups: group 1—non-treated control (n = 4); 2—surgical intervention 9). The central portion Achilles was resected, and after 30 days, DCE-MRI performed. Contrast enhancement methods applied using region interest...
A dor no joelho é o sintoma mais comum na osteoartrite, sendo a principal causa de incapacidade crônica em idosos e uma das principais fontes morbidade atribuível à osteoartrite geral. As causas pessoas com não são facilmente entendidas conhecimento sobre as da fundamental para que futuramente sejam realizadas intervenções específicas. fadiga óssea representa remodelamento do osso subcondral levando consequente alteração forma e/ou perda óssea. No entanto, algo interpretado, pois difícil...
Rheumatoid arthritis is a risk factor for early mortality due to cardiovascular disease. Interleukin-33 appears protect against the development of atherosclerosis. The purpose this study was investigate relationship between serum levels interleukin-33 and its soluble receptor with presence subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in rheumatoid patients. patients without atherosclerotic disease were subjected clinical laboratory assessments, including ultrasound. measured by ELISA. 102 included....
A presença do anti‐CCP constitui importante ferramenta prognóstica da artrite reumatoide (AR), mas ainda se investiga sua relação com a atividade doença e capacidade funcional. Estudar os índices de doença, funcional dano estrutural, por meio radiografia convencional (RC) ressonância magnética (RM), em AR estabelecida. Estudo transversal pacientes AR, um 10 anos doença. Os participantes foram submetidos à avaliação clínica pesquisa anti‐CCP. foi avaliada Clinical Disease Activity Index...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a acurácia da tomografia de alta resolução (TCAR) do tórax em relação à radiografia simples (RX) no diagnóstico doença intersticial pulmonar relacionada esclerose sistêmica (ES). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram realizados TCAR e RX póstero-anterior perfil 34 pacientes com ES, segundo critérios Colégio Americano Reumatologia, feita comparação entre as prevalências dos achados radiológicos sugestivos encontradas estes dois métodos imagem. RESULTADOS: observadas alterações 31 (91%)...
Discrepancy between the intensity of pulmonary congestion and grade cardiomegaly seems to be a common finding Chagas cardiomyopathy, in spite significant systolic dysfunction left ventricle. Its mechanism has not been established. The aim this study was investigate analyze if it correlated with Doppler echocardiographic parameters patients dilated cardiomyopathy.Fifty-five positive serology tests for Trypanosoma cruzi cardiomyopathy were studied. Chest x-rays, echocardiogram plasmatic brain...
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of chronic consumption green tea on body weight and distribution visceral fat by Computed tomography in female Wistar rats. Methods: rats were divided into control group (n = 5), which received water feed ad libitum, 8), has been replaced tea. The animals weighed weekly Tomography was used at beginning (1st week) end (18th experiment for evaluating fat. followed 18 weeks. Results: There no significant difference between groups. However, there area. had less...
OBJETIVO: Descrever a técnica de avaliação do esvaziamento gástrico em crianças. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram estudadas 14 crianças voluntárias saudáveis, com idades 2 11 anos. As ingeriram leite modificado, na proporção 200 ml/m² superfície corporal. A área antro foi medida todos os pacientes no tempo zero, antes da ingestão meio contraste, e aos 60, 90, 120 150 minutos após contraste. RESULTADOS: dieta bem tolerada pelos pacientes. Foi observado que alimento, 85% dos apresentaram-se total....
A artrite reumatoide (AR) é uma poliartrite inflamatória crônica que frequentemente causa progressiva destruição articular. O tratamento e o manejo da AR têm se baseado na identificação intervenção precoce doença com medicamentos modificadores (DMARDs). As alterações no resultado em melhora significativa para os pacientes, incluindo redução dos sintomas sinais doença, preservação articular progressão de lesões. Métodos avaliação resposta ao predição do curso são necessários. Em relação...
