Hopelessness and Related Variables among Cancer Patients in the Southern Europe...
Grassi, L; Travado, L; Gil, F; Sabato, S; Rossi, E; Tomamichel, M; Marmai, L; Biancosino, B; Nanni, MG; SEPOSBACKGROUND: Although hopelessness has been studied in cancer, no data are available in non-English-speaking countries. OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to amass data from Southern European countries (Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland) in order to fill this void. METHOD: A group of 312 cancer patients completed the Mini-MAC Hopelessness subscale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Cancer ...
Do Spirituality and Faith Make a Difference? Report from the Southern European ...
Travado, L; Grassi, L; Gil, F; Martins, C; Ventura, C; Bairradas, JOBJECTIVE: In the last decade, some attention has been given to spirituality and faith and their role in cancer patients' coping. Few data are available about spirituality among cancer patients in Southern European countries, which have a big tradition of spirituality, namely, the Catholic religion. As part of a more general investigation (Southern European Psycho-Oncology Study--SEPOS), the aim of this study w...
Biological activity of antitumoural MGBG: the structural variable
Marques, M.; Gil, F.; Calheiros, R.; Battaglia, V.; Brunati, A.; Agostinelli, E.; Toninello, A.Abstract The present study aims at determining the structure-activity relationships (SAR’s) ruling the biological function of MGBG (methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone)), a competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-l-methionine decarboxylase displaying anticancer activity, involved in the biosynthesis of the naturally occurring polyamines spermidine and spermine. In order to properly understand its biochemical activit...
Effect of D-alpha-tocopherol on tubular nephron acidification by rats with indu...
Nascimento Gomes,G.; Barbosa,F.T.; Radaeli,R.F.; Cavanal,M.F.; Mello Aires,M.; Zaladek Gil,F.The objective of the present study was to determine if treatment of diabetic rats with D-alpha-tocopherol could prevent the changes in glomerular and tubular function commonly observed in this disease. Sixty male Wistar rats divided into four groups were studied: control (C), control treated with D-alpha-tocopherol (C + T), diabetic (D), and diabetic treated with D-alpha-tocopherol (D + T). Treatment with D-alp...
A Communication Intervention for Training Southern European Oncologists to Reco...
Grassi, L; Travado, L; Gil, F; Campos, R; Lluch, P; Baile, WBACKGROUND: The detection of psychosocial distress is a significant communication problem in Southern Europe and other countries. Work in this area is hampered by a lack of data. Because not much is known about training aimed at improving the recognition of psychosocial disorders in cancer patients, we developed a basic course model for medical oncology professionals. METHODS: A specific educational and experi...
Use of Distress and Depression Thermometers to Measure Psychosocial Morbidity A...
Gil, F; Grassi, L; Travado, L; Tomamichel, M; Gonzalez, JGOALS OF WORK: Recent literature has indicated the need for rapid evaluation of psychosocial issues secondary to cancer. Because of the problems of routine use of psychometric instruments, short instruments such as visual analogue scales or one-item 0-10 scales have been developed as valid assessment alternatives. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A study was conducted to examine the role of two 0-10 scales in measuring e...
Effects of dietary lipids on renal function of aged rats
Valente Gamba,C.; Zeraib Caraviello,A.; Matsushita,A.; Alves,G.M.; Nunes da Silva,L.; Nascimento Gomes,G.; Zaladek Gil,F.Normal aging is accompanied by renal functional and morphological deterioration and dietetic manipulation has been used to delay this age-related decline. We examined the effects of chronic administration of diets containing 5% lipid-enriched diet (LD, w/w) on renal function of rats at different ages. Three types of LD were tested: canola oil, fish oil and butter. Mean systemic tail-cuff blood pressure and glyc...
Analytical method for the determination of strychnine in tissues by gas chromat...
Marques, E. P.; Gil, F.; Proença, P.; Monsanto, P.; Oliveira, M. F.; Castanheira, A.; Vieira, D. N.This paper describes an analytical method for strychnine determination in biological samples by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and their application in the investigation of two cases involving strychnine ingestion: A fatal case and a clinical one. The strychnine is isolated from biological samples using a liquid-liquid extraction procedure. The clean-up procedure is performed using an acid solution. Papav...
Effect of thyroparathyroidectomy on urinary acidification in diabetic rats
Zaladek-Gil,F.; Cavanal,M.F.; Nascimento-Gomes,G.; Silva-Rocha,M.C.; Nutti-de-Almeida,M.In previous studies we have shown stimulation of renal acid excretion in the proximal tubules of rats with diabetes of short duration, with no important alterations in glomerular hemodynamics; on the other hand, in thyroparathyroidectomized rats (TPTX model), a significant decrease in renal acid excretion, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) was detected. Since important changes in the ...
Angle-scanned photoemission: Fermi surface mapping and structural determination
Aebi, P.; Fasel, R.; Naumovic, D.; Hayoz, J.; Pillo, Th.; Bovet, M.; Agostino, R. G.; Patthey, L.; Schlapbach, L.; Gil, F. P.; Berger, H.; Kreutz, T. J.A brief survey of the angle-scanned photoemission technique is given. It incorporates two complementary methods in one: ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TVX-3X82696-4F/1/e2ffd4efc660238ad8d4ad8f685991bf
