14. Intrathecal morphine plus general anesthesia in cardiac surgery: effects on pulmonary function, postoperative analgesia, and plasma morphine concentration
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of intrathecal morphine on pulmonary function, analgesia, and morphine plasma concentrations after cardiac surgery. INTRODUCTION: Lung dysfunction increases morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Regional analgesia may improve pulmonary outcomes by reducing pain, but the occurrence of this benefit remains controver

16. Alterações cardiometabólicas em mulheres hipertensas com obesidade abdominal / Cardiometabolic alteration in hypertensive women with abdominal obesity
Observational studies have demonstrated that weight gain and increase of abdominal circumference are important prognostic indexes in hypertension, and abdominal obesity is a relevant marker of increased cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study was to identify metabolic and cardiac alterations in a sample of non-diabetic hypertensive women with abdomina

18. Impacto da terapia farmacológica de suporte nas variáveis hemodinâmica, de função renal e mortalidade de pacientes em sepse grave e choque séptico / The impact of pharmacological support therapy in hemodynamic, renal function and patient mortality variables in severe sepsis and septic shock
Severe sepsis and septic shock are complications that develop from an inflammatory process leading to high mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) and characterized by cardiovascular, renal and metabolic dysfunction. The pharmacological therapy (PT) aims at offering hemodynamic support and at reducing glycemic levels. In this scenario, the present study h

19. Inverse correlation between testosterone and ventricle ejection fraction, hemodynamics and exercise capacity in heart failure patients with erectile dysfunction
BACKGROUND: Neurohormonal activation and abnormalities in growth hormone and testosterone concentrations have been reported in heart failure (HF). Erectile dysfunction(ED) is common in these patients and contributes to a low quality of life. No data are known regarding the correlation between testosterone and hemodynamics, exercise capacity and cardiac funct

21. Modulação autonômica do coração avaliada pela variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca, e sua correlação com a função cognitiva na Doença de Alzheimer
Alzheimers disease (AD) is the most common cause of neurodegenerative dementia among elderly people. Along the years, studies searching for the neurological basis for the Alzheimers disease were particularly aimed at the central neurotransmission, especially in relation to the cholinergic system. The clinical manifestations of cognitive and functional activi
