Potential neuroprotective therapies in traumatic acute spinal injury: an integrative review

Introduction: Acute traumatic spinal cord injury is a complex injury affecting the nervous tissue of the spinal cord, vertebrae, joints, innervation and local vasculature, resulting in high mortality, physical dependence, stress, financial losses, lifelong risk of medical complications and reduced longevity. The complexity of the clinical repercussions of acute spinal cord trauma (SCI) makes early interventions necessary to ensure better prognosis.

Crianças saudáveis tem uma maior probabilidade de aprendizado, interação social, menor risco de desenvolverem doenças e desta forma criar maiores oportunidade para quebrar o clico de pobreza e fome que assola o planeta.

Determination of quinolone antibiotics by biomass waste-monolithic spin columns-solid phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography

A simple, green and rapid method for the simultaneous determination of three kinds of quinolone antibiotics (QNs) from environmental water samples and biological samples was established by monolithic spin columns-solid phase extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (MSC-SPE-HPLC). The QNs was completely adsorbed by 300 mg spent coffee grounds as the sorbents of MSC-SPE at 1000 rpm, and eluted by 2500 μL acetonitrile and 4% acetic acid (60:40, V:V). The efficient and rapid elution was obtained under the speed of 500 rpm.

Analysis of immunohistochemical expression of pecam-1 and endoglin in normal skin, benign melanocytic nevi, and cutaneous malignant melanoma

Objetive: We analyzed expression of PECAM-1 and endoglin for a correlation with clinicopathological behavior in CMM. Methods: Control (n = 12), CMN (n = 48), and CMM (n = 44) samples were submitted for immunohistochemistry. PECAM-1 and endoglin expression were counted in the stroma (hot spots) of all samples in order to calculate the MVD. Data analyses were performed using univariate statistical tests, with significance set at p<0.05.

Avaliação do jejum abreviado na endoscopia digestiva alta com administração de maltodextrina

Objetivo: Avaliar segurança e a qualidade de atendimento em pacientes submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta sob sedação endovenosa com abreviação de jejum. Método: Estudo prospectivo e randomizado em 207 pacientes do Hospital Universitário de Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, indicados para endoscopia digestiva alta. Dividiu-se os pacientes em dois grupos aleatórios por meio desorteio. Em um grupo realizou jejum habitual (6 a 8h) e o outro jejum abreviado para 2h com ingestão de chá enriquecido com maltodextrina a 12,5%.

Study of comparision between koh and histopathology report in post covid19 fungal infection; our experience

Objectives: This study is aimed to compare the diagnostic modalities of detecting fungus; KOH mount and Histopathological evaluation in cases of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, i.e. fungal invasion of sinus mucosa, submucosa, blood vessels, bone, etc.has emerged as one of the most debilitating sequelae of corona virus infection. This sudden rise in fungal infection may be multifactorial with reasons ranging from low immunity status to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus to incessant steroid use to hyperferritinemia due to Covid Infection.

Regulamentação dos aplicativos na prevenção de riscos cardiovasculares no Brasil

A pesquisa permitiu obter as definições de Telemedicina aplicadas à Cardiologia e à Regulamentação vigente, mais especificamente, sobre os aplicativos dos fatores de risco da doença cardiovascular. Como resultado, constatamos que os aplicativos ancorados na Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia são somente 3 e possuem, aproximadamente, 10.000 usuários, enquanto outros atingem mais de 5.000.000 que não, necessariamente, estão embasados nas regulações vigentes dos diversos órgão reguladores brasileiros.
