In 2005, the State Government of Minas Gerais, Brazil, funded establishment Telehealth Network, designed to connect teaching hospitals five public universities with municipal health departments. 6The department Problem The Brazilian population lacks equitable access specialized care and diagnostic tests, especially in remote municipalities, where professionals often feel isolated staff turnover is high.Telehealth has potential improve patients' care, but little known about it terms...
OBJECTIVES: To assess adequacy of vitamin C intake in HIV-infected children and adolescents; to evaluate serum levels indicators oxidative stress; compare with the uninfected group; correlate stress associate them according reference values. METHODS: Comparative cross-sectional study. Two groups 27 adolescents each, aged between 3 19 years. Group 1 (G1) comprised individuals vertically infected HIV seen at a regional outpatient clinic. 2 (G2) invited without history infection. The were...
Timing of mobilization after chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) surgery is highly heterogeneous among neurosurgical centers. Past studies have suggested that early may reduce medical complications without increasing recurrence, but evidence remains scarce. The purpose this study was to compare an protocol with a 48-hour bed rest practice, focus on the occurrence complications.The GET-UP Trial prospective, randomized, unicentric, open-label intention-to-treat primary analysis designed evaluate...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background/Objective:</bold> While older people are more prone than younger to periods of involuntary fasting, systematic assessment all the three major sources macronutrient mobilization and oxidation in same individual participants during short-term fasting has not been previously reported. Because aging is associated with many metabolic, hormonal, body composition changes, humans may have different kinetics utilization stores ones. This pilot study aimed...
FUNDAMENTO: Embora as doenças cardiovasculares sejam a maior causa de morbimortalidade em todo Brasil, o acesso das populações cidades pequenas à eletrocardiografia e avaliação cardiológica é limitado. O uso da telecardiologia para facilitar população municípios remotos segunda opinião cardiologia promissora, entretanto não foi formalmente testada. OBJETIVO: Avaliar viabilidade se implantar sistema público baixo custo brasileiras. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionadas 82 do Estado Minas Gerais, com <...
We explore the relationship of recessions and tourism cycles on economic performance tourism-dependent Small Developing States (SDS). Using local projections regressions, we examine how these affect potential output growth its drivers—investment employment—and estimate short-run elasticity to activity. Our findings reveal that long-term influence are less persistent in SDS than larger emerging markets, as tourist-dependent economies experience faster recoveries from recessions. Moreover, use...
Estudo retrospectivo de 647 mulheres com idade340 anos, atendidas no Hospital-Escola da FMTM, Uberaba-MG.

Espécies reativas de oxigênio são formadas durante o metabolismo aeróbico e podem danificar lipídios, proteínas, carboidratos DNA. Essas reações, potencialmente deletérias, controladas por um sistema antioxidantes enzimáticos não enzimáticos, que eliminam os próoxidantes “varrem” radicais livres. Esta revisão mostra papel alguns nutrientes na peroxidação lipídica no defesa antioxidante. Enfatizam-se mecanismos levam ao dano oxidativo sua proteção, assim como as implicações saúde humana.
In surgical patients, hypoalbuminemia may occur as a component of acute-phase response (APR) syndrome, which we hypothesized could decrease serum sodium levels.To compare the frequency hyponatremia in adult inpatients with or without APR syndrome.All simultaneous plasma and albumin results (n = 168), obtained from adults wards corresponding to 6-month period, were searched hospital mainframe. Other relevant laboratory clinical data also registered. was ascertained by presence major physical...
INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, is related to an inadequate food intake pattern. Its incidence increasing among Brazilian adults, including those living in rural areas. Our aim was not only describe the frequency of MetS adults with or without but also compare their pattern as assessed by healthy eating index (HEI) serum albumin C reactive protein (CRP) levels. METHODS: Men women (n = 246) small village Brazil were...
Evidence on timing for mobilization after chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) surgery is heterogeneous, and practices differ considerably among neurosurgical centers. The Impact of an Early Out-of-Bed Paradigm in Postoperative Outcomes Chronic Subdural Hematomas: GET-UP Randomized Prospective Trial (GET-UP Trial) a randomized clinical trial comparing postoperative early protocol to bed rest. Previously reported results at discharge 1 month indicated decreased risk medical complications the...
To compare the heart weight and weight/body coefficient of adults with without chronic malnutrition.In an initial case series 210 autopsies performed in adults, we recorded body weights calculated coefficients (HW/BW x 100). The exclusion criteria were as follows: positive serology for Chagas' disease, edema, obesity, diseases, hepatopathies, nephropathies, systemic arterial hypertension. Malnutrition was characterized a mass index <18.5kg/m2. Differences p<0.05 considered...
BACKGROUND: Atrophy of the papillae, mucosa, and dorsum tongue are considered classical signs nutritional deficiencies. OBJECTIVE: To assess status hospitalized alcoholics with or without papillary atrophy tongue. METHODS: This study was performed 21 divided into Atrophic Glossitis Group (n=13) Normal Tongue (n=8). Healthy, non-alcoholic volunteers composed Control Anthropometry bioelectric impedance were performed, serum vitamins A, E, B12 determined. RESULTS: There no statistical...
Objective: To investigate the influence of reprocessing technique enzymatic bath with ultrasonic cleaning and ethylene oxide sterilization on chemical properties morphological structure polymeric coatings guide wire for regular guiding catheter.Methods: These techniques simulated routine in many hemodynamic services Brazil other countries.Samples from three different manufacturers were verified by scanning electron microscopy X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Results: A single or double...
PURPOSE: Hyperglycemia and abnormal glucose tolerance tests observed in some patients with chronic Chagas' disease suggest the possibility of morphological changes pancreatic islets and/or denervation. The purpose this study was to describe morphology morphometry disease. METHODS: Morphologic computerized morphometric studies were performed fragments head, body, tail regions pancreas obtained at necropsies 8 normal controls 17 disease: digestive form (Megas) 9 congestive heart failure form....
We report the case of a 35-year-old homeless alcoholic and illicit drug user, with AIDS, who was admitted to emergency unit complaining asthenia weight loss 30 kg over preceding three months. Clinical laboratory data confirmed diagnosis marasmus, bacterial pneumonia, chorioretinitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii oral Candida infection. The patient also presented tongue papillae, gingival hypertrophy, perifollicular hyperkeratosis hemorrhage, coiled, corkscrew-like hair, anemia,...
Decreased serum levels of vitamin C are quite common inelderly hospitalized patients (1), especially those who aremalnourished (2) or with recent hip fractures (3).Although full-blown scurvy is currently uncommon inindustrialized societies, the literature has described sporadiccases in psychiatric and malnourished,alcoholic, homeless (4). Scurvy also beenreported cases where reductions Clevels occur concomitantly activation immunesystem increased circulating interleukins, as occurs...
The objective of the present study was to assess zinc nutritional status in alcoholic patients with pellagra using plasma, hair, urine and nail levels, as well tolerance test. conducted on 81 patients, 73 males eight females. Zinc parameters were compared those 84 individuals no apparent disease aged 23–45 years. Plasma levels lower than controls (P < 0.01). results test showed that: (1) basal 69.7 ± 16.8 μg/100 ml pellagrins 82.3 34.0 0.01); (2) after 1 h increase plasma similar pellagrin...
