Elastografia hepática na avaliação complementar da insuficiência cardíaca

ABC., imagem cardiovasc; 37 (3), 2024
A elastografia hepática (EH) avalia as consequências sistêmicas da insuficiência cardíaca (IC). Este método pode auxiliar na avaliação prognóstica dos portadores de IC. A IC pode afetar de forma secundária a função de vários órgãos e sistemas, notadamente o hepático, mediante congestão v...

Evaluation of kidney injury through early markers in canine pyometra

Fourteen female dogs diagnosed with pyometra were studied at three separate times: at diagnosis (T0) and 24 h (T1) and 10-15 days (T2) after ovariohysterectomy (OH). The means of the markers, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) (17.71 to 26.54 μg/dL) and the urinary gamma-glutamyl transferase to creatinin...

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio, systemic immune inflammation index, and system inflammation response index in invasive Aspergillosis

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio, system inflammation response index, and systemic immune inflammation index are three systemic immune and inflammation indexes that were investigated for their diagnostic and prognostic proficiencies in cardiovascular diseases and cancers. ...

Ácido úrico y gamma-glutamiltransferasa como biomarcadores de enfermedad cardiovascular a través del estrés oxidativo
Uric acid and gamma-glutamyltransferase as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease via oxidative stress

Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares constituyen la principal causa de mortalidad y morbilidad a nivel mundial. Reconocidas como problemas de salud de impacto social, han motivado a muchos científicos a tratar de explicar su patogénesis. Actualmente se plantea de la existencia de otros fac...

Induction of lactation in dairy heifers: milk production, inflammatory and metabolic aspects

The aim of this study was to evaluate the metabolic, inflammatory, and hepatic aspects, as well as the milk yield in heifers submitted to protocol for induction of lactation compared to primiparous cows. Sixty Holstein heifers were selected and enrolled into two groups: Control (n= 30), pregnant heifers ...

Efeito da suplementação de colina protegida no perfil metabólico e intervalo entre parto e concepção de vacas leiteiras

Durante o periparto, as vacas leiteiras são submetidas a uma grande demanda de energia, ao mesmo tempo em que reduzem sua ingestão de matéria seca. O balanço energético negativo, resultante dessa equação, acarreta severos transtornos metabólicos, à produção e, principalmente, à reprodução. ...

Gamma glutamil transferasa, marcador de eficacia clínica del ozono médico y su papel en la artritis reumatoide y la osteoartritis de rodilla
Gamma glutamyl transferase: an indicator of medical ozone clinical efficacy and its pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis and knee osteoarthritis

Rev. cuba. reumatol; 22 (1), 2020
Introducción: El ozono médico tiene eficacia clínica e incrementa la relación beneficio/riesgo en pacientes con artritis reumatoide tratados con la terapia combinada metotrexate + ozono. Hoy, la gamma glutamil transferasa se considera como un marcador de riesgo de enfermedades de una alta morbilidad...

Gelatinasas como marcadores de consumo crónico de alcohol: un estudio piloto en Uruguay

El consumo crónico de alcohol en Uruguay es un problema creciente, sin embargo, las determinaciones de biomarcadores consensuados no se realizan sistemáticamente ni se investigan otros marcadores potenciales. Para validar la hipótesis de que las metaloproteinasas de matriz con actividad gelatinasa son...

The liver injury following ischemia and reperfusion is worse in experimental knockout heterozygote mouse model for expression of connexin 43

Acta cir. bras; 34 (10), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate that Connexin (Cx43) plays a role in lesions after hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Methods: We use Cx43 deficient model (heterozygotes mice) and compared to a wild group. The groups underwent 1 hour ischemia and 24 hours reperfusion. The heterozygote genotype was...
