Anafilaxia a morfina e tramadol: relato de caso

A investigação diagnóstica de reações anafiláticas durante a anestesia é difícil, uma vez que vários medicamentos são administrados. O diagnóstico é necessário para evitar uma reexposição ao medicamento potencialmente ofensivo. Os opioides raramente causam anafilaxia. A incidência total d...

Support vector machine-based classification of neuroimages in Alzheimer's disease: direct comparison of FDG-PET, rCBF-SPECT and MRI data acquired from the same individuals

Objective: To conduct the first support vector machine (SVM)-based study comparing the diagnostic accuracy of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1-MRI), F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and regional cerebral blood flow single-photon emission computed tomography (rCBF-SPEC...

Rapid detection of food-borne Salmonella contamination using IMBs-qPCR method based on pagC gene

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract Detection of Salmonella is very important to minimize the food safety risk. In this study, the recombinant PagC protein and PagC antibody were prepared and coupled with immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) to capture Salmonella cells from pork and milk samples. And then the SYBR Green qualitative PCR was...

Accuracy of serum IgE concentrations and papule diameter in the diagnosis of cow's milk allergy

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (3), 2018
Abstract Objective To compare serum concentrations of specific IgE and mean papule diameters induced in the immediate skin reactivity test with cow's milk and its fractions with results of the oral challenge test, and to establish cutoff points capable of predicting clinical reactivity to cow's milk in ...

Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Arthrography in Detecting Rotator Cuff Tears

West Indian med. j; 67 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: Shoulder pain, a common cause of productivity loss and health-related expense, is commonly due to rotator cuff tears. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with intra-articular gadolinium, MR arthrography, is accepted internationally as an excellent modality for evaluating the rotator cuff...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated the performance of the IS6110-TaqMan® assay in different types of biological samples and tissues for laboratory diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS: 143 biological samples and tissues from patients with suspected extrapulmonary tuberculosis fro...

Sangue oculto nas fezes: uma comparação entre os métodos químico e imunoquímico

Arq. gastroenterol; 55 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Colorectal bleeding is a warning sign that may be identified by fecal occult blood testing. A positive fecal occult blood test result requires a subsequent colonoscopy, a costly and invasive examination. Therefore, the use of diagnostic tests with optimal sensitivity and specificit...

Pulmonary Ultrasound in Patients with Heart Failure - Systematic Review

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (6), 2018
Abstract Pulmonary congestion is an important clinical finding in patients with heart failure (HF). Physical examination and chest X-ray have limited accuracy in detecting congestion. Pulmonary ultrasound (PU) has been incorporated into clinical practice in the evaluation of pulmonary congestion. This pa...
