Background: Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) would cause alterations in organs/systems of exposed individuals or their progeny. Objetive: To identify and analyze the main published findings on the effects of exposure to EDCs on teeth, cartilage, and bone. Material and Methods: Two databases were ana...
RESUMEN Presentamos el caso de un paciente con foseta del disco óptico, quien presentó una disminución de la agudeza visual secundaria a desprendimiento seroso de retina. Se decidió realizar una inyección intravítrea de 0.3ml de gas C3F8 (100%), seguida de fotocoagulación con láser de argón en e...

Abstract: Evolving evidence shows that ultra-processed food consumption may increase exposure to chemicals used in food packaging and production, such as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, phthalates, and bisphenols. Studies suggested that these contaminants may be transferred from mother to child thr...
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aims to compare the anatomical success rates of vitrectomy and SF6 gas tamponade for macular hole surgery with and without postoperative face-down posturing. Methods: This was an observational, longitudinal, and retrospective case series analysis. The study included 52 eyes...
ABSTRACT Perfluorocarbon liquid has been widely used during vitreoretinal operations. Subretinal retention is a rare intraoperative complication, but even small quantities can damage the macular structure and function, and no standard treatment has been established. We encountered a 43-year-old woman who...
ABSTRACT Liquid perfluorocarbon (PFC) instillation has been studied experimentally as an adjuvant therapy in the preservation of lung grafts during cold ischemia. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether vaporized PFC is also protective of lung grafts at different cold ischemia times. We perfo...

El patrón llamado 'crazy paving' en tomografia computada de tórax (TAC) puede deberse a diferentes condiciones siendo una de ellas la Proteinosis Alveolar Pulmonar (PAP), rara condición que puede llevar a insuficiencia respiratoria y a menudo, a la muerte. Presentamos el caso de una mujer joven con un...
ABSTRACT A 51-year-old patient underwent posterior vitrectomy with perfluoropropane gas injection, phacoemulsification, and implantation of an Oft Cryl® hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) because of traumatic retinal detachment and cataract in the right eye. On the first postoperative day, gas w...
O transplante de ilhotas microencapsuladas constitui uma alternativa terapêutica interessante para o Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1, permitindo um melhor controle glicêmico e eliminando a necessidade de imunossupressão. Entretanto, a manutenção a longo prazo da viabilidade das células-β ainda é um desa...
Os procedimentos necessários para redução de efeitos adversos associados à transfusão de sangue, em especial aqueles decorrentes da transmissão de agentes infecciosos e da aloimunização leucócito-mediada têm impacto nos custos de produção de hemocomponentes. Paralelamente, as necessidades tra...
