1. Action of hormonal therapy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review
SUMMARY Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease characterized by muscle weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, and decreased reflexes due to upper and lower motor neurons death. It can be present in both sexes (55-65 years), but with predominance in males. However, in female patients, ALS presents its first symptoms when they are already postmenop

2. Diretrizes Brasileiras de Mobilização Precoce em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva
RESUMO A imobilidade pode causar várias complicações que influenciam na recuperação de doentes críticos, incluindo atrofia e fraqueza muscular esquelética. Esse efeito pode ser amenizado com a realização de mobilização precoce. Seis questões primordiais nortearam essa pesquisa: É segura? Quem é o candidato à mobilização precoce? Quais são a

3. Effects of physical exercise on skeletal muscles of rats with cerebral ischemia
Physical exercise is a known preventive and therapeutic alternative for several cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the motor performance and histomorphometry of the biceps brachii, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles of rats submitted to a treadmill training program prior to the induction of cerebral isc

4. Short-term creatine supplementation changes protein metabolism signaling in hindlimb suspension
The effect of a short-term creatine supplementation on hindlimb suspension (HS)-induced muscle atrophy was investigated. Creatine monohydrate (5 g/kg b.w. per day) or placebo, divided in 2 daily doses, was given by oral gavage for 5 days. Rats were maintained in HS with dietary supplementation concomitantly for 5 days. Body weight, soleus and EDL muscle mass

5. Clinical and epidemiological aspects of microcephaly in the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil, 2015-20166
Resumo Objetivos: Descrever os aspectos da epidemia de microcefalia no Estado do Piauí. Métodos: Foram incluídos todos os casos de microcefalia congênita confirmados no estado entre 2015-2016 (n = 100). Os formulários de investigação do Centro Regional de Referência em Microcefalia foram analisados. Os casos descartados (n = 63) foram usados como g

6. Comparison of adductor canal block for analgesia in arthroscopic surgery with ropivacaine alone and ropivacaine and clonidine
Resumo Justificativa e objetivos: O alívio inadequado da dor após a reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior afeta a mobilidade, leva ao desenvolvimento de aderências, inserção do ligamento enfraquecido e atrofia muscular. O bloqueio do canal adutor para analgesia pós-operatória preserva a força do quadríceps. O presente estudo foi feito para c

7. Elevated serum Activin A in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with skeletal muscle wasting
OBJECTIVE: Muscle wasting contributes to the reduced quality of life and increased mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Muscle atrophy in mice with cachexia was caused by Activin A binding to ActRIIB. The role of circulating Activin A leading to muscle atrophy in COPD remains elusive. METHODS: In the present study, we evaluated the re

8. Profile of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility reports confirmed with muscular contracture test in Brazil
Resumo Justificativa e objetivo: Hipertermia maligna é uma síndrome farmacogenética hipermetabólica, autossômica dominante, com mortalidade entre 10%-20%, desencadeada por uso de anestésico inalatório halogenado ou relaxante muscular succinilcolina. O padrão-ouro para pesquisa de suscetibilidade à hipertermia maligna é o teste de contratura muscul

9. Fasting: a major limitation for resistance exercise training effects in rodents
Protocols that mimic resistance exercise training (RET) in rodents present several limitations, one of them being the electrical stimulus, which is beyond the physiological context observed in humans. Recently, our group developed a conditioning system device that does not use electric shock to stimulate rats, but includes fasting periods before each RET ses

10. Myostatin promotes distinct responses on protein metabolism of skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers of rodents
Myostatin is a novel negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. Myostatin expression is also found in heart in a much less extent, but it can be upregulated in pathological conditions, such as heart failure. Myostatin may be involved in inhibiting protein synthesis and/or increasing protein degradation in skeletal and cardiac muscles. Herein, we used cell c

11. Local inhibition of nitrergic activity in tenotomized rats accelerates muscle regeneration by increasing fiber area and decreasing central core lesions
Muscular atrophy is a progressive degeneration characterized by muscular proteolysis, loss of mass and decrease in fiber area. Tendon rupture induces muscular atrophy due to an intrinsic functional connection. Local inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) accelerates tendon histological recovery and induces fun

12. ISCHIOFEMORAL IMPINGEMENT: ASSESSMENT OF MRI FINDINGS AND THEIR RELIABILITY
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings and their validity in patients with ischiofemoral impingement syndrome (IFI) . Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 55 hips. MRI findings of 30 hips were consistent with IFI syndrome. Twenty five hips had no MRI findings consistent with IFI syndrome. We compared the ischiofemora
