There are few Brazilian studies on neuropsychomotor follow-up after open-heart surgery with circulatory bypass in infants. Twenty infants had neurodevelopmental outcomes (neurological exam and Denver II test) assessed before open-heart surgery, after intensive care unit discharge and 3-6 months after hospital discharge. Heart lesions consisted of septal defects in 11 cases (55%). The mean circu...

background : patients with alzheimer's disease (ad) reportedly hibit hypersensitivity to much diluted tropicam solution (0.005%), a m4 muscarinic receptor antagonist. therefore aocular application of 0.005% tropicamide ma be useful for screening dementia. the aim of this study was to simplify the pupil response test by using a new image analyzing system, which consists of a cheap, simple, and e...

BACKGROUND Many studies have shown that when hypothermia is started after coronary artery reperfusion (CAR), it is ineffective at reducing necrosis. However, some suggest that hypothermia may preferentially reduce no-reflow. Our aim was to test the effects of hypothermia on no-reflow when initiated close to reperfusion and 30 minutes after reperfusion, times not associated with a protective eff...

BACKGROUND: To describe immune and endocrine responses in severe hymenoptera hypersensitivity requiring venom immunotherapy (VIT) during in vitro fertilization (IVF). CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year old patient was referred for history of multiple miscarriage and a history of insect sting allergy. Four years earlier, she began subcutaneous injection of 100 mcg mixed vespid hymenoptera venom/venom ...

A 12-year-old girl, with a previous history of bronchial reaction and contact dermatitis to sodium hypochlorite, was referred for root canal treatment. Complete immunologic evaluation revealed a mild hypersensitivity condition, as it was assessed by the RAST investigation to different allergens and the DTH reactivity expressed though migration inhibition test. The absence of a serious immunolog...

This paper presents the development of a nodal diffusion code, RAST-V, and its verification validation for VVER (vodo–vodyanoi energetichesky reactor) analysis. A analytic solver has been implemented in an in-house RAST-K. The new RAST-K version, uses triangle-based polynomial expansion method. code provides stand-alone two-step computation modes steady-state transient calculations. An lattice ...
