Oportunistic fungi such as Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. are responsible for development of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) in cancer patients and patients undergoing stem cell or solid organ transplantation, and are one of the most often causes of mortality in immunodeficient patients. Early fungal pathogen detection is prerequisite for fast intervention and adequate therapy administration. Fast pathogen differentiation between fungi, bacteria or even viral infections is highly required.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ação do óleo da Copaifera multijuga sobre a coagulação sanguínea como um possível agenteanticoagulante e sua ação antimicrobiana. A atividade anticoagulante do óleo foi mensurada através de ensaios “in vitro” utilizando Plasma Pobre em Plaquetas para a determinação do Tempo de Protrombina e do Tempo de Tromboplastina Parcial Ativada.
Introduction: In Breast cancer there is paradigm shift towards its prevention and early detection. Currently a combination of three tests, i.e. physical examination(PE), sonomammography (MM) and Fine needle aspiration cytology/biopsy (FNAC) called as triple assessment test, is used as Gold standard in diagnosing all palpable breast lumps. Materials and Methods This study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Government Medical College, Nagpur, spanning 2 years from June 2015 to November 2017. A total of 100 patients with a palpable breast lump of age≥35years were evaluated.
A lesão por pressão caracteriza-se pela pressão excessiva em partes moles, mas comumente em proeminências ósseas, podendo atingir a extensão da derme, epiderme, tecido subcutâneo, músculos e ossos. O laser de baixa potência é uma terapia não invasiva, onde é realizado emissão de luz infravermelha ou vermelha. Em vista disso, este estudo objetiva descrever a evolução da lesão por pressão, através da utilização do laser de baixa potência associado com a utilização da pomada de ácido hialurônico 0,2%. Materiais e métodos ocorreram através da abordagem descritiva, do tipo relato de caso.
Objective: To characterize the clinical profile of patients with diabetic foot amputation. Materials andMethods: Exploratory, descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, carried out in a public hospital in Campina Grande - PB, with a sample of 208 medical records of patients with amputation due to diabetic foot. Descriptive statistics of relative and absolute frequency, Pearson's Chi-square association test or Fisher's exact test, Poisson regressions and prevalence ratio were used.
Hepatic encephalopathy is a neuropsychiatric syndrome due to severe liver failure. The clinical presentation is variable. MRI have a critical role in the diagnosis confirmation and understanding the neural mechanism of this disorder. We report the case of a 15-year-old patient, who is followed up for liver cirrhosis and who presents an acute hepatic encephalopathy quickly diagnosed with MRI.
Background: Strength is a crucial aspect of sport performance and increasing strength is an important aspect of strength and conditioning programs for athletics. Strength and conditioning professionals are constantly innovating programming methods to increase attributes that accurately translateonto the field of play. Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, and EBSCO were searched for systematic reviews from 2000-2020 which used resisted sprinting, either pushing or pulling and their effect on horizontal strength for include in this literature review.
Adiponectin (APN) is the most abundant polypeptide produced by adipose tissue in humans. It has an important anti-atherogenic role, suppresses the expression of proinflammatory substances and increases the production of nitric oxide, protecting against most diseases related to the inflammatory process, such as atherosclerosis. On the other hand, observational studies indicate that the use of low-dose combined oral contraceptives (COC) is associated with increased subclinical inflammation.
