1. Avaliação experimental do metabolismo energético em dois protocolos de sobrecarga sistólica do ventrículo direito / Experimental evaluation of energy metabolism in two right ventricle systolic overload protocols
Objective: Altered energy metabolism has been identified in myocardial hypertrophy. Some processes are considered beneficial, whereas others are linked to heart failure. The purpose of this study was to compare the activity of three different energy metabolism enzymes in two different protocols of right ventricle (RV) systolic overload in young goats. Method

2. Eccentric and concentric cardiac hypertrophy induced by exercise training: microRNAs and molecular determinants
Among the molecular, biochemical and cellular processes that orchestrate the development of the different phenotypes of cardiac hypertrophy in response to physiological stimuli or pathological insults, the specific contribution of exercise training has recently become appreciated. Physiological cardiac hypertrophy involves complex cardiac remodeling that occ

3. Relação dos pontos-chave cirúrgicos no crânio com áreas eloquëntes detectadas por ressonância magnética funcional / Relation of surgical key-points in skull with eloquent areas detected by functional magnetic resonance
Neuroimaging studies have a pivotal role in pre-surgical assessment of patients with brain lesions. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computerized Tomography (CT) are established techniques providing anatomic information of the lesion and surrounding areas. Functional MRI (fMRI) is a recent method applied to probe brain function via hemodynamic response o

4. Efeitos hemodinâmicos da ventilação não invasiva com pressão positiva em pacientes com estenose mitral sintomática / Hemodynamic effects of positive pressure noninvasive ventilation in patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis
Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) impacts hemodynamic changes in heart failure patients by impending cardiac filling and reduces cardiac afterload by reducing left ventricular transmural pressure. These effects may collaborate for the success of this therapy in patients with pulmonary congestion. However, to your knowledge, no study has

5. Airway clearance techniques in patients submitted to mechanical ventilation: A hemodynamic, gas exchange, respiratory mechanics and bronquial sputum study / Estudo do comportamento hemodinâmico, da troca gasosa, da mecânica respiratória e da análise do muco brônquico na aplicação de técnicas de remoção de secreção brônquica em pacientes sob ventilação mecânica
INTRODUCTION: Tracheal suction (TS) is a routine procedure in patients submitted to mechanical ventilation. In association, the bag-squeezing (BS) technique is described as a manual hyperinflation associated to a manually assisted coughing followed by TS. This technique might present few limitations as its mechanical ventilator disconnection and poor control

6. Comparison of systolic and pulse pressure variation during pressure and volume controlled ventilation. Experimental study in rabbits / Comparação da variação da pressão sistólica e de pulso nas ventilações com pressão e volume controlados: estudo experimental em coelhos
Rationale: Systolic pressure variation (SPV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) indices have been proposed as effective methods of hemodynamic monitoring to predict fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation. SPV is calculated by the difference between the maximum and minimum values of systolic blood pressure following a single positive pressure brea

7. Anti-inflamatory effect of the S-nitroso-N-acetyleysteine (SNAC) on left ventricular hypertrophy in hypercholesterolemic LDLr/mice / Efeito antiinflamatorio da S-nitroso-N-acetilcisteina (SNAC) na hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (HVE) em camundongos hipercolesterolemicos knockout para o receptor de LDL (LDLr-/-)
Recently, it has been that S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine (SNAC) attenuate in 55% the plaque development in low-density lipoprotein-receptor-deficient (LDLr-/-) mice fed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 15 days. The present study was designed to verify whether deletion of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene may affect the hemodynamic profile and adren

8. Constrictive pericarditis in a 19-month-old child
We report a case of chronic nonspecific constrictive pericarditis with myocardial involvement in a 19-month-old infant. The patient underwent total pericardiectomy and had irreversible hemodynamic instability. Constrictive pericarditis is rare in childhood. It may follow several processes, most frequently an infectious disease. The natural course of the dise

9. Imaging the functioning human brain
One of the most exciting methodological advances for brain research field arises in functional brain imaging, which enables us to localize and characterize neural activity and biochemical events in the living human brain. Recently developed event-related functional MRI makes it possible to visualize the brain activity associated with cognitive processes

10. Task-related and item-related brain processes of memory retrieval
In all cognitive tasks, general task-related processes operate throughout a given task on all items, whereas specific item-related processes operate differentially on individual items. In typical functional neuroimaging experiments, these two sets of processes have usually been confounded. Herein we report a combined positron emission tomography and eve

11. Rehabilitating elderly cardiac patients.
The aging cardiovascular system undergoes many anatomic and physiologic changes. Increased vascular resistance, myocardial "stiffness," abnormalities of rhythmicity of the sinoatrial node, irregular cardiac rhythms, and alterations in heart rate and blood pressure responses are all seen more frequently in older patients. These changes are likely to impair th

12. Disruption of the nonneuronal tph1 gene demonstrates the importance of peripheral serotonin in cardiac function
Serotonin (5-HT) controls a wide range of biological functions. In the brain, its implication as a neurotransmitter and in the control of behavioral traits has been largely documented. At the periphery, its modulatory role in physiological processes, such as the cardiovascular function, is still poorly understood. The rate-limiting enzyme of 5-HT synthesis,
