The sublingual area is the most used site to assess microcirculation in critically ill patients at bedside. The prerequisite for microcirculation evaluation, using HVM imaging (Handheld Vital Microscopy), is to ensure measurements free of image artifacts, confirming an adequate analysis of blood flow. Ho...
New microcirculatory imaging techniques allowed direct observation of microcirculation at the bedside. This study presents a new device that assists the operator with the unprecedented Hands Free technique. To this end, a replica of Handheld Vital Microscopy was developed to simulate the method of captur...
PURPOSE: To track the regeneration process of lateral gastrocnemius due to a muscle laceration in rats, and to treatment with plateletrich plasma (PRP). METHODS: Ultrasound (40 MHz) images were used for measuring pennation angle (PA), muscle thickness (MT) and mean pixel intensity, along with claudicatio...
Objective: In this systematic review the aim was to summarise the in vivo/in vitro evidence on the role of oxidative-nitrosative stress in pathogenesis of dengue.
Methods: We searched electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, The COCHRANE library, ScienceDirect, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS via Virtual Health Libr...
A úlcera gástrica é uma doença crônica, de alta prevalência, e a eficácia dos tratamentos farmacológicos disponíveis é limitada pela alta incidência de efeitos adversos. Neste trabalho é mostrado o mecanismo de ação terapêutica e os efeitos toxicológicos da molécula indol-tiazolidínica ...
Além dos receptores no sistema nervoso central (SNC), acoplados a receptores GABAA (CBR - central benzodiazepine receptor), outros sítios periféricos de ligação para os benzodiazepínicos (BDZ) foram descritos e denominados de "periféricos" (PBR peripheral benzodiazepine receptor) ou TSPO - Translo...
