Abstract Background The prospective, multicentre EURECA registry assessed the use of imaging and adoption European Society Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines (GL) in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). Methods Between May 2019 March 2020, 5156 were recruited 73 centres from 24 ESC member countries. GL recommendations was evaluated according to clinical presentation pre-test probability (PTP) obstructive artery disease (CAD). Results mean age population 64 ± 11 years, 60% males, 42% had...
A 31-year-old male patient with confirmed monkeypox infection developed acute myocarditis days after the eruption of skin lesions. Cardiac magnetic resonance study myocardial inflammation. The was treated supportive care and had full clinical recovery. This case highlights cardiac involvement as a potential complication associated monkeypox. (
Background: As tobacco is the main risk factor for oral cancer, it important to understand burden of this disease after Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. For MERCOSUR control a topic interest. The aim study was describe MPOWER measures scores and evaluate trends lip cavity cancer (LOC) incidence, mortality Disability-adjusted Life Years (DALYs), from 2005 2021, in countries.

The aim of this study was to assess consumer awareness the importance animal welfare in egg production Brazil. A survey conducted with 50 consumers Participants answered a questionnaire about their attitudes and perceptions regarding production. results show that is increasing This suggests demand for eggs produced cage-free systems may increase future. Cage-free are more ethical sustainable alternative Increasing should lead an system.
Introdução: A prática regular de exercícios físicos traz inúmeros benefícios à saúde cardiovascular, especialmente para idosos, como prevenir hipertensão arterial, aterosclerose e acidentes vasculares. Com o aumento da expectativa vida, as doenças cardiovasculares se tornaram uma preocupação crescente na pública, sendo a principal causa morbidade mortalidade em idosos. Portanto, implementação programas prevenção promoção atividades físicas são essenciais melhorar qualidade vida dos Objetivo:...

The objective of this work was to compare Doppler flows pulsatility index (PI) and resistance indexes (RI) uterine internal iliac arteries during pregnancy in low risk women those with stage-1 essential hypertension. From January 2010 December 2012, a longitudinal prospective study carried out 103 singleton uneventful pregnancies (72 low-risk 31 stage 1 hypertension)at the 1(st), 2(nd) 3(rd) trimesters. Multiple linear regression models, fitted using generalized least squares whose errors...
Cyclic endometrial neoangiogenesis contributes to changes in local vascular patterns and is amenable non-invasive assessment with Doppler sonography. We hypothesize that the uterine artery (UtA) impedance, measured by its pulsatility index (PI), exhibits a regular pattern during normal menstrual cycle. Therefore, main study objective was derive normative new day-cycle-based reference ranges for UtA-PI entire cycle from days 1 34 according isolated time effect potential confounders such as...
The aim of the study was to construct gestational age-based reference ranges for uterine artery (UtA) mean pulsatility (PI) and resistance (RI) indices from 6 10 weeks pregnancy.A prospective, cross-sectional, observational carried out in 312 singleton pregnancies with age ranging weeks. UtAs were examined transvaginally by color pulsed Doppler imaging, right left values PI RI, as well presence or absence a bilateral protodiastolic notch, recorded. UtA-PI UtA-RI percentiles derived through...
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has been an unmatched challenge to global healthcare. Although the majority of patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may not be infected COVID-19, quarantine and public health emergency measures have affected this particular high risk group. objective study is assess impact early period COVID-19 on ACS admissions clinical course in a tertiary care hospital Portugal's most region. This retrospective, case-control included diagnosis...
The EXIT procedure (EX utero Intrapartum Treatment) encompasses a multidisciplinary approach to situations in which airway obstruction is anticipated. Uteroplacental circulation maintained avoid neonatal hypoxemia while intubation attempted. Not only it useful congenital diaphragmatic hernia with intrauterine tracheal occlusion, but new indications have been proposed. We present two cases was adopted (huge cervical mass compression and highly vascularized cephalocervical mass) for the same...
The foetal aortic Doppler frequency spectrum is influenced by cardiac output and contractility of the heart as well vascular compliance, blood viscosity impedance arterial system. present study aimed at comparing flow pulsatility (PI) resistance (RI) indexes proximal descending aorta (AoF) in first, second third trimesters pregnancy, low risk women those with chronic hypertension, who had normal pregnancy outcomes.A longitudinal prospective was carried out 101 singleton pregnancies (71...
Acute total occlusion of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a dramatic event. There are limited data regarding this population. We aimed to describe clinical presentation and outcomes patients determine predictors in-hospital mortality.This retrospective study included presenting with acute (<12 h) myocardial infarction due LMCA (TIMI flow 0) between January 2008 December 2020 in three tertiary hospitals.During period, 11036 emergent angiographies were performed, 59 (0.5%)...
Abstract The aim of this study was to construct reference ranges for the uterine artery (UtA) mean pulsatility (PI) and resistance (RI) indices from 1–8 weeks postpartum. A prospective, cross-sectional observational performed with 320 healthy women week 1 through 8 UtAs were examined transvaginally using colour pulsed Doppler imaging means right left values PI RI, as well presence or absence a bilateral protodiastolic notch, recorded. 5 th , 50 95 percentile curves UtA-PI UtA-RI derived...
The prognostic value of myocardium deformation measurements in chronic heart failure (CHF) is still poorly addressed. purpose this study was to evaluate the correlation left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) with clinical and indicators patients CHF systolic dysfunction.Ambulatory LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <45% were studied by two-dimensional Doppler transthoracic echocardiogram assessment GLS. An indication status obtained Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) estimates for...
Biomarkers in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) reflect various pathobiological processes, including neurohormonal activation, oxidative stress, matrix remodeling, myocyte injury and stretch. We assessed the role of biomarkers clinical echocardiographic parameters left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling (LVRR). In this prospective study 50 DCM patients (28 men, aged 59±10 years) with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%, LVRR was defined as an increase >10 U LVEF after optimal medical therapy....
Right ventricular thrombosis is a rare yet potentially fatal condition. It has been described in association with hypercoagulability states, autoimmune diseases and dilated cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography constitutes the election tool for diagnosis characterization of these entities, allowing differentiation between various types thrombi. We present case patient alcoholic cardiomyopathy admitted congestive heart failure lower respiratory infection. In diagnostic approach, routine...
Despite the known effects of neuraxial blockade on major vessel function and rapid decrease in uterine vascular impedance, it is unclear how affects utero-placental circulation near-term. We hypothesize that among women with chronic hypertension, a loss sympathetic tonus consequent to spinal block may cause significant changes haemodynamics than typical normal pregnant women. Therefore, main study objective was analyse effect anaesthesia for caesarean section umbilical arterial impedance at...
