Endothelin-1 receptor antagonists protect the kidney against the nephrotoxicity induced by cyclosporine-A in normotensive and hypertensive rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (2), 2018
Cyclosporin-A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant associated with acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Nephrotoxicity associated with CsA involves the increase in afferent and efferent arteriole resistance, decreased renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration. The aim of this study was to eval...

Short-term effects of stored homologous red blood cell transfusion on cardiorespiratory function and inflammation: an experimental study in a hypovolemia model

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
The pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the effects of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on cardiopulmonary function and inflammation are unclear. We developed an experimental model of homologous 14-days stored RBC transfusion in hypovolemic swine to evaluate the short-term effects of transfusio...

Incidence of hemorrhagic complications with use of a radial compression device: a cohort study

Rev. Esc. Enferm. USP; 52 (), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To examine the incidence of hemorrhagic complications in patients undergoing radial cardiac catheterization and using a hemostatic device for arterial compression. Method: A prospective cohort study conducted with patients undergoing elective cardiac catheterization in two hemodyn...

Participation of hepatic α/β-adrenoceptors and AT1 receptors in glucose release and portal hypertensive response induced by adrenaline or angiotensin II

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (12), 2018
It has been previously demonstrated that the hemodynamic effect induced by angiotensin II (AII) in the liver was completely abolished by losartan while glucose release was partially affected by losartan. Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) and adrenergic (∝1- and β-) receptors (AR) belong to the G-pro...

Hemodynamic evaluation of elderly patients during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 45 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: to demonstrate hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in elderly patients with trans-esophageal echocardiography. Methods: we studied 31 elderly patients (aged 60 years or older), ASA I or II, who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general, standa...

Hemodinámica funcional: ¿Qué significa “ser respondedor”?

Rev. chil. anest; 47 (3), 2018
The conventional analysis and approach to the physiology of the fluid responsiveness has traditionally been focused mainly on the physiology of heart-lung interactions, and on reviews of the technical, methodological, and epidemiological aspects of the dynamic parameters, which are translated into simple...

Water balance in pediatric nephrology: construction of a Standard Operating Procedure

Rev. bras. enferm; 71 (supl.3), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To construct a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) about the water balance, to be used by the health team in the care of children hospitalized in a pediatric nephrology unit. Method: The study was carried out in two stages: integrative review of the literature for the development of ...

Efeitos da corticoterapia antenatal sobre a hemodinâmica do feto sob risco de parto prematuro
Effects of antenatal corticotherapy on the hemodynamics of the fetus at risk of preterm birth

Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos da administração da corticoterapia antenatal sobre a hemodinâmica fetal, utilizando uma análise longitudinal e quantitativa das curvas de velocidade de fluxo do Doppler das artérias umbilical e cerebral média. Metodologia: Este estudo utilizou revisão de prontuário...
