Intracerebral hemorrhage: update and future directions

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (10), 2020
ABSTRACT Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), defined as bleeding into the brain parenchyma, is a significant public health issue. Although it accounts for only 10 to 15% of strokes, it is associated with the highest morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advances in the field of stroke and neurocritical care...

O comportamento da pressão arterial após elevação da pressão parcial positiva final pode auxiliar na determinação do status de fluido-responsividade em pacientes com choque séptico?

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se a diminuição da pressão arterial provocada pela elevação da pressão parcial positiva final corresponde à variação da pressão de pulso como indicador de fluido-responsividade. Métodos: Estudo de caráter exploratório que incluiu prospectivamente 24 pacientes com c...

A Prevalência da Hipotensão Ortostática e a Distribuição da Variação Pressórica no Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde do Adulto

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (6), 2020
Resumo Fundamento A hipotensão ortostática (HO) tem sido negligenciada na clínica não havendo estudos sobre sua prevalência na população brasileira. Objetivo Determinar a prevalência de HO e a variação da pressão arterial (PA) após manobra postural no Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde do Adul...

Entrenamiento de handgrip isométrico de alta intensidad en adultos mayores pre-hipertensos y con diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial sistémica etapa I

Rev. méd. Chile; 148 (5), 2020
Background: Moderate isometric handgrip exercise is an effective tool in the management of systemic hypertension. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a high intensity isometric handgrip exercise protocol for the reduction of blood pressure in older people with pre or stage-1 hypertension. Material an...

Ambulatory arterial stiffness index in diabetic patients

Rev. méd. Chile; 148 (4), 2020
ABSTRACT Background The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), derived from 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can be a good indicator of arterial stiffness. Aim To assess the correlation between AASI and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI) and card...

Comparação das artérias carótidas comuns de equinos e muares por ultrassonografia modo-B e Doppler espectral e a relação com a massa corpórea

A ultrassonografia convencional e o Doppler espectral nas artérias carótidas comuns em equinos e muares são considerados escassos, diferentemente do que ocorre na medicina humana. Este trabalho propôs comparar as artérias carótidas comuns de equinos e muares por ultrassonografia modo-B e Doppler es...

Central blood pressure and vascular stiffness in Mexican population

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 90 (1), 2020
Abstract Introduction: Central blood pressure (CBP) is considered a measure of prognostic value for cardiovascular risk. In turn, the aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVAo) and augmentation index (Aix) have been related to arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. Controversies exist regarding the referen...

Relationship between vestibular dysfunction and quality of life in climacteric women

Abstract The hormonal changes in climacteric women may affect the vestibular system; however, it is not clear in the literature whether the presence of vestibular dysfunction associated with climacteric is related to poorer quality of life. The study sample was composed of 374 women (40-65 years). Socioe...

Feasibility of non-intubated anesthesia and regional block for thoracoscopic surgery under spontaneous respiration: a prospective cohort study

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (1), 2020
Data about the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic surgery under non-intubated anesthesia and regional block are limited. In this prospective study, 57 consecutive patients scheduled for thoracoscopic surgery were enrolled. Patients were sedated with dexmedetomidine and anesthetized with propofol and...
