13. Cirurgia bariátrica: mortalidade, utilização de serviços e custos. Estudo de caso em uma grande operadora do sistema de saúde suplementar no Brasil
Introduction: Morbid obesity has been identified as a major epidemic in developed countries. In Brazil, the numbers are alarming, mainly due to the growth of cases in just a few years. At present, it affects 0.64% of people aged 20 years and more, totaling more than 600 thousand individuals. Once morbidly obese, the individual has little chance of success un

14. Efeitos de soluÃÃo salina hipertÃnica e manitol em coelhos com hipertensÃo intracraniana aguda
Medical management of brain edema and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a crucial challenge in neurosurgical practice. The control of ICP and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is determinant of patient outcomes whatever the involved physiopathological mecanisms. Depending on the cause, the treatments for brain edema fall into three categories: stabiliz

15. Epidemiological aspects of adherence to the treatment of hypertension
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reasons given by patients for interrupting their pharmacological treatment of hypertension. METHODS: We carried out an observational cross-sectional study, in which a questionnaire was applied and blood pressure was measured in 401 patients in different centers of the state of Bahia. The patients selected had been diagnosed with hyp

16. Inhaled nitric oxide for pulmonary hypertension after repair of exomphalos.
Inhaled nitric oxide was used successfully to treat a newborn infant with severe pulmonary hypertension complicating repair of congenital exomphalos. The infant had failed conventional treatment and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was unsuitable because of the risk of bleeding from the recent laparotomy. Extended treatment with inhaled nitric oxide appea

17. Treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension with continuous intravenous prostacyclin.
Our ultimate goal in treating patients is to improve their quality of life and to increase survival. The optimal treatment for primary pulmonary hypertension will continue to change as our understanding of its causes improves and as progress is made in lung transplantation. There is no one best treatment for all patients. Optimal medical and surgical treatme

18. Follow‐up of early unilateral nephrectomy for hypertension
Early unilateral nephrectomy was carried out in four young children with unilateral renovascular disease, a poorly functioning kidney and hypertension. At follow‐up 5–16 years later all showed normal growth, blood pressure and renal function, and only one child had low‐grade albuminuria. Unilateral nephrectomy seems to be a safe and effective alternati

19. Surgical management of portal hypertension.
Portal hypertension is frequently complicated by upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding and ascites. Hemorrhage from esophageal varices is the most common cause of death from portal hypertension. Medical treatment, including resuscitation, vasoactive drugs, and endoscopic sclerosis, is the preferred initial therapy. Patients with refractory hemorrhage frequen

20. Hazards of diazoxide in pulmonary hypertension.
The use of diazoxide in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension has been advocated recently. We describe three patients who responded less favourably. The first patient had cardiac arrest (asystole) after the acute bolus dose. After recovery only a slight increase in cardiac index was seen while pulmonary vascular resistance was unchanged. The second patient

21. Indications for Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary thromboembolism is commonly misdiagnosed and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality both in the early and late stages. A major cause of late morbidity is chronic pulmonary hypertension. Although the incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is unknown, there is anatomic and physiologic evidence that it is responsibl

22. The changing spectrum of treatment for variceal bleeding.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of endoscopic therapy, liver transplantation, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on patient selection and outcome of surgical treatment for this complication of portal hypertension, as reflected in a single surgeon's 18-year experience with operations for variceal hemorrhag

23. Percutaneous balloon dilatation of the atrial septum: immediate and midterm results.
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of atrial septostomy by percutaneous balloon dilatation in patients with congenital heart defects or primary pulmonary hypertension. PATIENTS AND DESIGN: Twenty three patients (15 boys, eight girls; aged 10 days to 10 years; 17 with congenital heart defects and six with primary pulmonary hypertension), all haemodynamic

24. Sublingual timolol--an alternative to topical medication in glaucoma?
AIMS--To assess whether timolol drops lower a raised intraocular pressure (IOP) when given sublingually. This route of administration would be useful for glaucoma patients who are unable to instil their own drops--for example, because of stroke, poor vision, arthritis, poor coordination, or blepharospasm. METHODS--A placebo controlled randomised, double mask
