2. Comparison of lumbar force between pubertal and post-pubertal adolescents: interference of physical growth, body fat and lifestyle.
Abstract Aim: To compare performance in the lumbar force test in pubertal and post-pubertal adolescents by controlling the interference of physical growth, body fat, screen time and physical activity. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 933 adolescents (492 girls) aged 14-19 from the city of São José, Brazil. Lumbar strength was assessed using the iso

3. Medical adverse events in elderly hospitalized patients: a prospective study
OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of medical adverse events in elderly patients admitted to an acute care geriatric unit, the predictive factors of occurrence, and the correlation between adverse events and hospital mortality rates. METHODS: This prospective study included 171 admissions of patients aged 60 years and older in the acute care geriatric un

4. Capnografia volumétrica na avaliação de crianças e adolescentes com asma persistente / Volumetric capnography for the avaliation of children and adolescents with persistent asthma
Objective: To study changes in the variables of volumetric capnography in children and adolescents with persistent asthma compared with controls, and investigate their changes with the use of bronchodilators and in response to bronchial provocation test. Methods: Hundred-three asthmatics and 40 healthy volunteers (aged 6-15 years) were serially enrolled. Spi

5. Changes physiology and biochemistry of seeds of Melanoxylon brauna during deterioration / Alterações fisiológicas e bioquímicas de sementes de Melanoxylon brauna envelhecidas natural e artificialmente
The knowledge at present about the biochemical and physiologic changes in forest tree seeds is limited, as well as those of vigour evaluation testes during this stage. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physiological and biochemical changes of Melanoxylon brauna seeds during storage and the accelerated aging, establishing relations between these

6. TP53 codon 72 polymorphism as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in a Brazilian population
TP53, a tumor suppressor gene, has a critical role in cell cycle, apoptosis and cell senescence and participates in many crucial physiological and pathological processes. Identification of TP53 polymorphism in older people and age-related diseases may provide an understanding of its physiology and pathophysiological role as well as risk factors for complex d

7. Laryngeal resistance in individuals with marginal velopharyngeal closure / Resistência laríngea em indivíduos com fechamento velofaríngeo marginal
Objective: To investigate whether patients with marginal velopharyngeal dysfunction modify the laryngeal resistance as a strategy to achieve complete velopharyngeal closure. Design: Prospective analysis. Setting: Laboratory of Physiology at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies - USP (HRAC-USP). Participants: 19 patients with repaired cle

8. Evaluation of experimental model of isolated chronic right ventricle failure / Avaliação de modelo experimental de falência crônica isolada do ventrículo direito
Isolated chronic right ventricle (RV) dysfunction is difficult to achieve in experimental models, and sometimes very expensive. Some models require complex surgical procedures, with a high mortality rate and low reproducibility. In order to simulate the clinical status of RV failure, we have developed an experimental model of chronic RV failure by injecting

9. Resultado de fala em pacientes submetidos à palatoplastia secundária associada à veloplastia intravelar / Speech outcomes in patients submitted to secondary palatoplasty associated with intravelar veloplasty
Objectives: To verify the effect of intravelar veloplasty associated with secondary palatoplasty on the speech of patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) and to compare the speech outcomes among these patients, according to the extent of defect of velopharyngeal closure as analyzed by nasopharyngoscopy. Model: Prospective study of patients with repa

10. "Estudo comparativo dos efeitos de um protocolo de cinesioterapia respiratória desenvolvido em dois diferentes meios, aquático e terrestre, na função respiratória de idosos" / Comparative effects of a respiratory exercise protocol developed in two different ways, aquatic and terrestrial, in the respiratory function of elderly
Aging of the population is a mundial concern. It causes damages in the pulmonary system. Respiratory exercises are too much used, but not so much related with the aquatic environment and aged. This study analised the effects of the respiratory exercise realized in two environments - aquatic and earth - in the respiratory muscle strength, thoracic mobility an

11. "Dimensões nasais e nasofaríngeas de indivíduos sem evidências de obstrução nasal avaliadas por rinometria acústica no repouso e na fala." / Nasal and nasopharyngeal dimensions of individuals without evidences of nasal obstruction assessed by acoustic rhinometry during rest and speech
Objective: To determine cross-sectional areas and volumes of specific segments of the nasal cavity, including the nasopharyngeal region, of individuals without evidences of nasal obstruction, and the same volumes during speech, with the purpose of establishing reference values. Model: Prospective analysis. Setting: Laboratory of Physiology, HRAC-USP. Partici

12. Ação do estrógeno e progesterona na mucosa nasal humana: avaliação do transporte mucociliar nasal de sacarina e pesquisa de receptores hormonais através de método imuno-histoquímico / Estrogen and progesterone influence in human nasal mucosa: evaluation of nasal saccharin mucociliary transport and test for hormone receptors with immunohistochemical staining
Although nasal mucociliary clearance has been thoroughly studied, there is controversial evidence that it is directly influenced by female sex hormones. This study focused on: 1. evaluating saccharin nasal mucociliary transport in both sexes and during the follicular, periovulatory and luteal phases of consecutive ovarian cycles, and 2. identifying the expre
