1. Análise comparativa dos efeitos da atividade física através da mensuração de citocimas pró-inflamatórias em pulmões irradiados de ratos / Comparative analysis of the effects of physical activity through the measurement of proinflammatory cytokines in irradiated lungs of rats
As neoplasias esofágicas passíveis de tratamento por radioterapia podem induzir seqüelas clínicas importantes como a pneumonite radioinduzida e a fibrose pulmonar. É sabido que os exercícios físicos promovem uma seqüência de liberação de citocinas pró-inflamatórias, com diminuição dos efeitos deletérios das desordens cardiovasculares e promo�

2. Impacto da radioterapia torácica na capacidade funcional de pacientes com neoplasia de mama / The impact of radiation therapy on functional capacity in patients with breast cancer
Introdução: Durante a radioterapia torácica (RT) para o câncer de mama, parte do parênquima pulmonar adjacente a caixa torácica acaba secundariamente sendo incluída no campo de tratamento, podendo cursar com lesões pulmonares e perdas na capacidade funcional. Essas seqüelas necessitam ser mais bem compreendidas, considerando o bom prognóstico da do

3. Pneumothorax following thoracic radiation therapy for Hodgkin's disease.
Radiation therapy alone to the nodal drainage sites above the diaphragm, namely a "mantle" field, is often standard treatment for early stage Hodgkin's disease and may be used in combination with chemotherapy in more advance disease. Localised pneumonitis and fibrosis are recognised treatment related sequelae; however, other pulmonary complications, includin

4. Radiation pneumonitis in mice. Some effects of corticosteroids on mortality and pulmonary physiology.
The fall in pulmonary compliance in mice with radiation pneumonitis is associated with increased microvascular leakage of plasma proteins into the alveolar spaces and increased surfactant phospholipids in the lung and alveolar fluid. In the present experiments we examined the effect of corticosteroid adminitration on these two effects and on pulmonary mechan

5. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage specimens from immunocompromised patients with a protocol applicable in the microbiology laboratory.
Several studies have concluded that bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a useful technique for diagnosing pulmonary disease in immunocompromised patients, but implementation of a protocol for obtaining, processing, and analyzing BAL specimens in a clinical microbiology laboratory has not been reported. We determined the utility of a laboratory protocol by analyz

6. The assessment of doses and effects from intakes of radioactive particles.
The behaviour of radionuclides after entry into the body and the radiation doses received by individual tissues depend on the chemical nature of the element, the physicochemical form of the intake, the radioactive half-life of the isotope and the type and energy of the emissions. Ingestion of radionuclides in insoluble particles will result in radiation dose
