Resumo Fundamento: A hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (HVE) é um importante fator de risco cardiovascular, independente da hipertensão arterial. Apesar da evolução dos exames de imagem, o eletrocardiograma (ECG) ainda é o mais utilizado na avaliação inicial, porém, com baixa sensibilidade. Obje...
Abstract Objective To show the accuracy of the most used maneuvers in the clinical diagnosis of lumbosciatalgia, the slump test and the Laségue sign. Methods In order to perform the present study, 101 patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) discopathy (gold standard) were selected and had their...
Salmonellosis is the world’s most common foodborne illness. In Brazil, foods contaminated by salmonella lead the statistics. Therefore, the aim of this study is, through biotechnological knowledge, to compile alternative and innovative techniques for the detection of salmonella in foods, such as fish-f...

Abstract Background: The Cambridge Cognition Examination (CAMCOG) is one of the most used cognitive assessment batteries for older adults. Objective: To evaluate a brief version of the CAMCOG for illiterate older adults (CAMCOG-BILL) with Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and healthy controls (CG). Methods: C...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the serum samples found reactive (≥1-≤20 signal-to-cutoff ratio) with Elecsys antibodies to hepatitis C virus screening test with innogenetics-line immunassay hepatitis C Virus Score test and to determine the most appropriate threshold value for...
Background: Timed Up and Go (TUG) is used to assess the risk of falling of older people. Aim: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of TUG as a predictor of falls in older adults. Material and methods: TUG was measured in 148 independent community-dwelling older adults aged 75 ± 7 years (85% women...
Resumen Los métodos diagnósticos clásicos para la tuberculosis son de baja sensibilidad o son muy lentos en la obtención de resultados (baciloscopía, cultivo de Koch). De ahí nace la necesidad de nuevos métodos diagnósticos para esta enfermedad. Los biomarcadores surgen como una opción a esta pr...
ABSTRACT Introduction Discuss the application of magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating ankle motion injury. Objective Verify the influencing factors of magnetic resource imaging (MRI) diagnosis based on the linear regression algorithm model. Methods The experimental group was diagnosed by MRI, w...
