Emissões otoacústicas em recém-nascidos com hipóxia perinatal leve e moderada

CoDAS; 28 (2), 2016
RESUMO Introdução Atualmente, somente a hipóxia neonatal grave (evidenciada pelo valor do Apgar) é considerada risco para a deficiência auditiva. A hipóxia é uma das causas mais comuns de lesão e morte celular. Nos casos de hipóxia leve ou moderada, embora menor, a privação da oxigenação es...

Efeito do tempo de contração e repouso na atividade dos músculos masseter e temporal anterior em indivíduos com DTM

CoDAS; 28 (2), 2016
RESUMO Objetivo O principal objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o efeito do tempo de contração e repouso na atividade dos músculos masseter e temporal. Métodos 49 sujeitos do sexo feminino com idade entre 18 e 30 anos foram divididos em grupos DTM (n: 26) e controle (n: 23). A eletromiografia de s...

Análise perceptivo-auditiva de vozes rugosas e soprosas: correspondência entre a escala visual analógica e a escala numérica

CoDAS; 28 (2), 2016
RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar os valores de corte dos diferentes graus de rugosidade e soprosidade vocal em uma escala visual analógica, a partir de uma escala numérica. Métodos: Foram selecionadas 150 vozes, de indivíduos de ambos os gêneros, com qualidade variando desde a ausência de rugosidade e d...

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: Recent studies have shown changes in cardiac autonomic control of obese preadolescents. Objective: To assess the heart rate responses and cardiac autonomic modulation of obese preadolescents during constant expiratory effort. Methods: This study assessed 10 obese and 10 non-obese ...

Assessment of Intima-Media Thickness in Healthy Children Aged 1 to 15 Years

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been shown to be increased in children and adolescents with traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease, compared with those of healthy children. Objective: To assess the influence of se...

Serial High-Sensitivity Troponin T in Post-Primary Angioplasty Exercise Test

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: The kinetics of high-sensitivity troponin T (hscTnT) release should be studied in different situations, including functional tests with transient ischemic abnormalities. Objective: To evaluate the release of hscTnT by serial measurements after exercise testing (ET), and to correlat...

Aerobic Training after Myocardial Infarction: Remodeling Evaluated by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: Numerous studies show the benefits of exercise training after myocardial infarction (MI). Nevertheless, the effects on function and remodeling are still controversial. Objectives: To evaluate, in patients after (MI), the effects of aerobic exercise of moderate intensity on ventricu...

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: The revascularization strategy of the left main disease is determinant for clinical outcomes. Objective: We sought to 1) validate and compare the performance of the SYNTAX Score 1 and 2 for predicting major cardiovascular events at 4 years in patients who underwent unprotected left...

Correlation of Insulin Resistance with Anthropometric Measures and Blood Pressure in Adolescents

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: Blood pressure is directly related to body mass index, and individuals with increased waist circumference have higher risk of developing hypertension, insulin resistance, and other metabolic changes, since adolescence. Objective: to evaluate the correlation of blood pressure with i...

Endothelial Effect of Statin Therapy at a High Dose Versus Low Dose Associated with Ezetimibe

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: The effect of statins on the endothelial function in humans remains under discussion. Particularly, it is still unclear if the improvement in endothelial function is due to a reduction in LDL-cholesterol or to an arterial pleiotropic effect. Objective: To test the hypothesis that ...
