Anti-inflammatory effects of hyperbaric oxygen on irradiated laryngeal tissues

Abstract Introduction To manage the complications of irradiation of head and neck tissue is a challenging issue for the otolaryngologist. Definitive treatment of these complications is still controversial. Recently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is promising option for these complications. Objective In thi...

Marcadores de inflamación y desarrollo de tolerancia en la proctocolitis alérgica

Arch. argent. pediatr; 116 (1), 2018
Antecedentes: Con el incremento de la proctocolitis alérgica inducida por proteínas de la dieta (PAIPD), son necesarios estudios que aclaren su fisiopatología y determinar marcadores no invasivos y sencillos para el diagnóstico y la evaluación del desarrollo de tolerancia. No hallamos estudios publi...

Inflammatory biomarkers responses after acute whole body vibration in fibromyalgia

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (4), 2018
The aims of this study were 1) to characterize the intensity of the vibration stimulation in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) compared to a control group of healthy women (HW) matched by age and anthropometric parameters, and 2) to investigate the effect of a single session of whole body vibration ...

Intradialytic aerobic training improves inflammatory markers in patients with chronic kidney disease: a randomized clinical trial

Motriz (Online); 24 (3), 2018
To investigate the effect of 12 weeks of intradialytic aerobic training on serum levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha and functional capacity. Methods: Thirty sedentary volunteers were randomly assigned to either to exercise or control...

Evaluation of systemic inflammation in patients being weaned from mechanical ventilation

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate systemic inflammatory factors and their relation to success or failure in a spontaneous ventilation test.

The role of immunoinflammatory markers in the prognosis and resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma has a high mortality rate. A prognostic tool is essential for a better risk stratification. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and adaptations and the platelet/lymphocyte ratio seem promising for this purpose. Aim: Evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil/...

Impact of bariatric surgery on the inflammatory state based on cpr value

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: PCR (C-reactive protein), produced in the liver after stimuli of inflammatory mediators, is determined as a marker of inflammatory activity (adipocytokines) and is present within adipocyte cells; besides being an inflammatory product, many studies have shown to be a predictor of com...

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 15 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the inter-relation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein and glycated hemoglobin in prediction of risk of obstructive sleep apnea. Methods We included all individuals participating in a check-up program at the Preventive Medicine Center of Hospital Israelita Albe...

Differences in Hepatic Expression of Iron, Inflammation and Stress-Related Genes in Patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Ann. hepatol; 16 (1), 2017
Abstract: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. We have previously shown that hepatic reticuloendothelial system (RES) iron deposition is associated with an advanced degree of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in humans. In this study, we ...

Inflammation and oxidative stress in heart failure: effects of exercise intensity and duration

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (9), 2017
Although acute exercise is apparently pro-inflammatory and increases oxidative stress, it can promote the necessary stress stimulus to train chronic adaptations in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study aimed to compare the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the inflammatory mar...
