Predictive role of Trimprob associated with multiparametric MRI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the predictive value of TRIMprob test to detect prostate cancer (PCa) in patients referred to prostate biopsy (PB). Material and Methods Patients with PSA <10ng/mL and rectal exam without findings suggestive of prostate cancer were selected for TRIMprob evaluation. ...

Preliminary assessment of neck circumference in benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients with metabolic syndrome

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the impact of neck circumference (NC) in the treatment of bening prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with metabolic syndrome (MtS). Additionally, we determined dose response to alpha-blockers and cut-off values for NC and waist circumference (WC), in these patients. ...

Predictive value of [-2]propsa (p2psa) and its derivatives for the prostate cancer detection in the 2. 0 to 10. 0ng/mL PSA range

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction To assess predictive value of new tumor markers, precursor of prostate specific antigen (p2PSA) and its derivates-%p2PSA and prostate health index (PHI) in detection of patients with indolent and aggressive prostate cancer (PC) in a subcohort of man whose total PSA ranged from 2 t...

Comparison between Radionuclide Ventriculography and Echocardiography for Quantification of Left Ventricular Systolic Function in Rats Exposed to Doxorubicin

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (1), 2017
Abstract Background: Radionuclide ventriculography (RV) is a validated method to evaluate the left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) in small rodents. However, no prior study has compared the results of RV with those obtained by other imaging methods in this context. Objectives: To compare the resul...

Intima-Media Thickness in the Carotid and Femoral Arteries for Detection of Arteriosclerosis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Positive Individuals

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (1), 2017
Abstract Background: The prevalence of atherosclerosis is higher in HIV-positive people, who also experience it earlier than the general population. Objectives: To assess and compare the prevalence of atherosclerosis evaluated by the intima-media thickness of carotid and femoral arteries, and by the an...

Comparative Study between Perfusion Changes and Positive Findings on Coronary Flow Reserve

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (1), 2017
Abstract Background: Functional assessment of coronary artery obstruction is used in cardiology practice to correlate anatomic obstructions with flow decrease. Among such assessments, the study of the coronary fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become the most widely used. Objective: To evaluate the cor...

Speckle Tracking and Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (1), 2017
Abstract Background: Amyloidosis is a disease caused by deposits of insoluble fibrils in extracellular spaces. The most common type of familial amyloidosis is mediated by mutation of transthyretin, especially Val30Met. Symptoms and ejection fraction decrease may occur in cardiac amyloidosis only in case...

It is impossible to know the way if we do not know where to start: tidal volume, driving pressure, and positive end-expiratory pressure

A influência da idade gestacional nas habilidades do desenvolvimento infantil e a qualidade da interação na díade mãe-bebê ao longo do primeiro ano de vida

A idade gestacional é uma medida importante, pois quando o bebê nasce antes da 37ª semana há riscos para alterações do desenvolvimento. A relação dos bebês com pais fornece base para o desenvolvimento dos padrões de autorregulação, para o aumento da sensibilidade materna, e para o desenvolvim...

Efetividade de um programa de terapia miofuncional no tratamento da respiração oral em indivíduos com má oclusão dentária: ensaio clínico

A impossibilidade de respirar pelo nariz leva o indivíduo a desenvolver uma respiração oral que pode gerar modificações na postura lingual, labial e mandibular, bem como desarmonia dos tecidos moles, com consequente mudança na morfologia craniofacial, induzindo à má oclusão. Poucos trabalhos cie...
