Children's Resilience Markers: Criterion-based validity evidences

Although resilience is a relevant construct, there are no Brazilian instruments available to identify the resilient potential in children. Considering this, an instrument called Children's Resilience Markers was developed. The study included 500 children from five different groups, aged 8 to 12. Through ...

Visual and automatic classification of the cyclic alternating pattern in electroencephalography during sleep

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (3), 2019
Cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) is a neurophysiological pattern that can be visually scored by international criteria. The aim of this study was to verify the feasibility of visual CAP scoring using only one channel of sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) to evaluate the inter-scorer agreement in a variety ...

Secondary healing strategy for difficult wound closure in invasive vulvar cancer: a pilot case-control study

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: Despite the number of surgical advances and innovations in techniques over time, radical vulvectomy frequently results in substantial loss of tissue that cannot be primarily closed without tension, the mobilization of surrounding tissues or even the rotation of myocutaneous flaps. The aim of ...

Turn down - turn up: a simple and low-cost protocol for preparing platelet-rich plasma

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze a new protocol for the extraction of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for use in clinical practice and compare this technique with methods that have been previously described in the medical literature. METHODS: We extracted PRP from 20 volunteers using four different protoco...

Hypertonic saline and pentoxifylline enhance survival, reducing apoptosis and oxidative stress in a rat model of strangulated closed loop small bowel obstruction

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: Intestinal obstruction has a high mortality rate when therapeutic treatment is delayed. Resuscitation in intestinal obstruction requires a large volume of fluid, and fluid combinations have been studied. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of hypertonic saline solution (HS) with pentoxifyllin...
