Objective – To evaluate and compare the usefulness of cineventriculographies, before and after nitrate use, to technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy for the identification of myocardial ischemia. Methods – Twenty-six patients were studied at basal conditions and 5 minutes after intravenous administration of isosorbide mononitrate (0.3mg/kg), to evaluate the performance and regional wall motion of the left ventr...
Objective – To evaluate whether apolipoproteins A-I (Apo A-I) and B (Apo B) have, higher ensitivity (SN), specificity (SP) and positive predictive value (PPV) than lipoproteins (LP), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triglycerides (TGL) in assessing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods – This is a transver...
Objetivo - Comparar a gravidade da doença coronária e a presença de fatores de risco cardiovasculares entre pacientes com angina e infarto do miocárdio (IM). Métodos - Estudaram-se 62 pacientes com IM e 129 com angina, através de cineangiocoronariografia, avaliando- se a oclusão (lesão de 99% ou 100%), a severidade (escore de 0 a 5 de acordo com o número de vasos afetados) e a extensão (3 grupos com diferentes ...
This study aimed to understand the meanings caregivers attributed to the process of caring for a neutropenic child at home and know their needs for orientation related to care for these children. This descriptive study was carried out at the Pediatric Oncology Institute through semi-structured interviews, involving eleven caregivers. Data were organized according to the content analysis technique and interprete...
Objetivou-se avaliar o nível de conhecimento e algumas atitudes preventivas em relação à leishmaniose visceral em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil, em 2006. Foi feito um estudo de caso-controle, com visitas domiciliares e questionário semi-estrurado. Comparou-se dois grupos: (1) 82 casos humanos de leishmaniose visceral ocorridos em 2004 e (2) 164 controles, constituídos por vizinhos dos casos. A leishmanio...
The concentration of black carbon (BC), as well as the relative contribution of BC to total organic carbon, was determined for the first time in sediments from Guanabara Bay. BC was quantified by a thermal oxidation method (CTO-375) and total organic carbon by dry oxidation. Sedimentary organic carbon showed a large range in concentrations (0.82 to 10.3%), but it was possible to define distinct regions of the B...
