13. Effects of Vitamin K1 Supplementation on the Risk Factors to the Stroke and on Memory in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats Stroke Prone (SHR-sp)
A number of risk factors have been associated to the stroke and many strategies have been proposed in order to control them as well. Vitamin K has been largely found in brain, which suggests a possible function at that tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of this vitamin on the prevention of risk factors to stroke and on cognitive function on S

14. Risk-benefit assessment of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination, anti-phenolic glycolipid I serology, and Mitsuda test response: 10-year follow-up of household contacts of leprosy patients
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Despite multidrug therapy, leprosy remains a public health issue. The intradermal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, Mitsuda test (lepromin skin test), and anti-phenolic glycolipid I (PGL-I) serology are widely used in leprosy studies and have shown great epidemiological value. METHODS: This longitudinal study evaluated the

17. Programa de intervenção interdisciplinar em hábitos de vida em indivíduos de risco cardiometabólico: análise de fatores dietéticos associados à melhora do metabolismo glicídico / Interdisciplinary intervention program on lifestyle in individuals at cardiometabolic risk: analysis of dietary factors associated with improvement in glucose metabolism
Introduction: Cardiometabolic diseases are global public health problems with social and economic repercussions. Unhealthy diet is seen as one of the main modifiable risk factors, being of central importance for the prevention of these diseases. Despite the evidence that certain nutrients are associated with diseases, causal relationships are still under dis

18. AssociaÃÃo entre postura corporal e fragilidade em idosos residentes em Ãrea urbana / Association between body posture and frailty in elderly people living in urban area
RATIONALE. The term frailty is applied to aged individuals with high risk for falls, hospitalization, institutionalization and death. Frailty is associated with falls, but this association has not yet been sufficiently established, which may limit the intervention in this area. We hypothesized that posture would be a factor that would be associated with the

19. Perioperative cardiovascular evaluation: heads or tails?
When dealing with surgical patients, a perioperative evaluation is essential to anticipate complications and institute measures to reduce the risks. Several algorithms and exams have been used to identify postoperative cardiovascular events, which account for more than 50% of perioperative mortality. However, they are far from ideal. Some of these algorithms

22. Behavior of rubber tree clones to the South American Leaf Blight (SALB) and potential impact of global climatic changes on the disease occurrence / Comportamento de clones de seringueira ao mal das folhas e potencial impacto das mudanças climáticas globais na ocorrência da doença
The unsuccessfulness of the natural rubber cultivation (Hevea spp.) on the cultivation areas in Brazil is due, mostly, to the occurrence of the rubber tree South American Leaf Blight (SALB), caused by the fungus Microcyclus ulei (P.Henn. v. Arx.). The strategies of the disease management are based on the genetic resistance of plants to the SALB, on the pheno

24. Diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic renal disease and a major cause of cardiovascular mortality. Diabetic nephropathy has been categorized into stages: microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria. The cut-off values of micro- and macroalbuminuria are arbitrary and their values have been questioned. Subjects in the upper-normal range of albuminuria
