The processes involved in the renal damage resulting from ischemia-reperfusion injury are poorly understood. This study examined the contribution of prostaglandins and nitric oxide (NO) in the vascular responses to ischemia-reperfusion injury in the kidneys of normotensive and hypertensive rats. Groups of Wistar and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) were dosed with polyethyle...

Introduction. To compare the accuracy of digital and real-time chromoendoscopy for the differential diagnosis of diminutive (<5 mm) neoplastic and nonneoplastic colorectal lesions. Materials and Methods. This is a prospective randomized study comparing the Fujinon intelligent color enhancement (FICE) system (65 patients/95 lesions) and indigo carmine (69 patients/120 lesions) in the analysis of...

INTRODUCTION Renal insufficiency (RI) is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in patients (P) with coronary artery disease and in P submitted to angioplasty. In ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI), this impact has not been well demonstrated. AIM To evaluate the impact of RI in P with STEAMI. METHODS We evaluated 160 P admitted with STEAMI, mean age of 62+/-14...

Blood pressure falls after a single session of exercise. The duration for which this fall in blood pressure persists is not known. Sustained hypotension after a single session of exercise may have important implications in the treatment of patients with mild hypertension. We studied 24 subjects (12 normotensive subjects and 12 patients with mild or borderline hypertension). Blood pressure was m...

Background: Despite recent technical improvement in assisted reproductive techniques (ART), the implantation rate per embryo still remains low (15%). The aim of the study is to determine whether the failure of IVF cycle is associated with endometrial thickness on the day of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration. Materials and Methods: Endometrial thickness of two hundred and seven p...

In this work, we have tested 30 different adsorption situations in several coverage scenarios for the 1-amino-3-cyclopentene (ACP) molecule on the Si(100) surface. We have used a five-spot testing zone inserted in the high-level part of a quantum-mechanical/quantum-mechanical study performed in a big cluster. By defining several different scenarios, each one with a typical adsorption energy, we...

Standard first-line treatment for elderly multiple myeloma (MM) patients ineligible for stem cell transplantation is melphalan plus prednisone (MP). However, complete responses (CRs) are rare. Bortezomib is active in patients with relapsed MM, including elderly patients. This phase 1/2 trial in 60 untreated MM patients aged at least 65 years (half older than 75 years) was designed to determine ...
