The scope of this study was to analyze deaths due to circulatory disorders in parallel with the evolution of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in Brazil. It is an ecological and retrospective study based on the temporal evolution of the FHS and mortality rates due to circulatory disorders in Brazil. A description of the inhabitant x FHS coverage ratio and health indicators related to mortality d...

background & aim: free radicals play a crucial role in the development of tissue damage in various human diseases such as cancer, aging, neurodegenerative disease, malaria and arteriosclerosis, and pathological events in living organisms. antioxidants may have an important role in the prevention of these diseases. the aim of this study is to evaluate potency of scavenging of dpph free radic...

OBJECTIVE Circulatory failure due to acute arterial hypertension in the neonatal period is rare. This study was undertaken to assess the clinical and echocardiographic manifestations of circulatory failure resulting from acute neonatal hypertensive crisis. METHODS Neonatal and cardiology databases from 2007 to 2010 were reviewed. An established diagnosis of circulatory failure due to neonatal...

Sodinin salieylate consistently produces a prompt increase in heart contractile force when injected in anesthetized dogs in doses of 100 mg./Kg. intravenously. The increase in force is about 30 per cent and declines to control levels in 15 to 20 niin. This effect is not considered of important therapeutic significance. Total doses of about 400 mg./Kg. consistently produce marked hyperpyrexia wh...

CAR is a sort that conducted two cycles. Students from Gelam participated study. Techniques gathering data include both test non-test ...

Fulfillment by the lungs of their bellows function depends largely on their resiliency and elasticity. Unless the lungs can readily comply with the changes in the thoracic cage during inspiration and expiration, ventilation will be seriously impaired. Pulmonary compliance is expressed as the ratio of lung volume in liters to intraesophageal pressure in centimeters of water. The present study is...

The role of mechanical circulatory device therapy has progressed rapidly over the last 2 decades, from supporting the failing heart in hospitalized patients awaiting heart transplantation to permanent or “destination” outpatient therapy in individuals with end-stage systolic heart failure (HF) for whom transplantation is not an option. Over this period, devices themselves have evolved through s...

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the pediatric heart failure population has a limited history especially for infants, and neonates. It has been increasingly recognized that there is a rapidly expanding population of children diagnosed and living with heart failure. This expanding population has resulted in increasing numbers of children with medically resistant end-stage heart failure. T...

This is a report of one more Conference, the favorite indoor sport of the medical sciences. In the last paragraph of his introduction, before turning the meeting over to the chairman, the master of ceremonies, Frank Fremont-Smith, says: "Logic is a vital aspect of science, but equally essential is the intuitive or creative aspect.... By preserving the informality of our conferences in the publi...

A patient who was given metoclopramide for vomiting and diarrhoea developed circulatory collapse with his blood pressure dropping to 50/20 mm Hg. A gastrinoma was diagnosed histologically. The extent of the tumour was defined by octreotide scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. Metoclopramide was again given for colicky abdominal pain and the patient developed circulatory collapse a second ti...
