ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Weight loss can determine significant improvement of migraine in obese patients. Herein, we evaluated a clinical sample of adolescent migraineurs with obesity who participated in an interdisciplinary programme for weight loss, in order to identify possible metabolic parameters associated with good migraine control. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Using a cross-sectional design, we evaluated 112 out of 135 adolescents who previously underwent our intervention programme. Based on persistence of headache, subjects for comparison were 40 migraine-free and 72 not migraine-free adolescents. Participants underwent anthropometric evaluations and biochemical tests. RESULTS: Patients with persistence of migraine had significantly higher weight (P < 0.01), body mass index (P < 0.01), waist circumference (P < 0.01), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (P < 0.001), triglyceride (P < 0.05), total cholesterol (P < 0.05) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P < 0.05) values when compared with those who became migraine-free. Between potential predictors, only insulin resistance (odds ratio = 3.5, 95% confidence interval = 1.4-6.1; P < 0.001) was significantly associated with persistence of migraine after intervention programme. CONCLUSIONS: Among obese adolescents with migraine who underwent an intervention programme for weight loss, patients who did not become migraine-free showed higher adiposity values than those who became migraine-free. Patients with insulin resistance had 3.5 times the odds of having persistence of migraine compared with those without.

ABSTRACT

O Hepatocarcinoma (HCC) é o quinto tumor sólido mais comum em todo o mundo e a terceira maior causa de mortalidade por câncer. A incidência do HCC não é uniforme, variando de acordo com a prevalência das doenças hepáticas subjacentes numa determinada região. Está bem estabelecido que as infecções crônicas pelo vírus B e C e a doença hepática alcoólica estão relacionadas ao HCC. O HCC pode ser diagnosticado em pacientes sem sinais clínicos de descompensação da doença hepática. A presença de metástase óssea está relacionada à doença mais avançada, comprometendo o prognóstico e a sobrevida destes pacientes

ABSTRACT

A Hepatite C (HCV) é uma infecção prevalente em todo o mundo e, atualmente, é a principal causa de indicação de transplante hepático. A biópsia hepática é uma ferramenta importante na avaliação desta infecção, uma vez que a maioria dos pacientes é assintomática e as enzimas hepáticas nem sempre se correlacionam com lesão histológica. A presença de fibrose hepática tem sido relacionada a maior morbimortalidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as alterações hepáticas observadas à biópsia hepática em pacientes assintomáticos portadores de infecção crônica pelo HCV

ABSTRACT

The Golgi apparatus of spinal ganglion neurons was studied in 1, 3.6, 6.7, and 8.8-year-old rabbits. The structure of this organelle did not differ in the four age groups examined. While the mean volume of the neuronal perikaryon increased progressively with age, the total volume of the Golgi apparatus remained stable throughout life. As a consequence, the mean percentage of perikaryal volume occupied by this organelle decreased significantly with age. Since the percentage of perikaryal volume occupied by lipofuscin remained at low levels throughout life, the ratio of the total volume of the Golgi apparatus to the functionally active volume of cytoplasm decreased with age. It is possible that this decrease is related to the reduction in neuronal metabolism that occurs in senescence. The age-related quantitative changes in the Golgi apparatus were very similar in large light and in small dark neurons. Finally, neither fragmentation, nor peripheral displacement of the Golgi apparatus was observed with advancing age.

ABSTRACT

We studied the Golgi apparatus in the satellite cell sheaths enveloping spinal ganglion neurons of rabbits aged 12, 42, and 79 months. We found neither structural changes nor indications of peripheral displacement of this organelle with advancing age. The mean percentage of cytoplasmic volume occupied by the Golgi apparatus decreased significantly passing from young adult to old rabbits. This decrease was only in very minor part a consequence of lipofuscin accumulation, so that the ratio between the total volume of the Golgi apparatus and the functionally active volume of cytoplasm decreased with age. The mean cytoplasmic volume of perineuronal satellite cell sheaths did not change significantly with increasing age, whereas the total volume of the Golgi apparatus within these sheaths decreased significantly with age. This decrease strongly suggests that the activity of satellite cells diminishes in old age, further suggesting that these cells are unable to compensate for the decrease in the neuronal metabolism that a number of authors have described in old age.

ABSTRACT

We studied the Golgi apparatus in spinal ganglion neurons of rabbits aged 12, 42 and 79 months. We found no structural changes, no indications of fragmentation, no indications of peripheral displacement affecting this organelle with advancing age. The volume of the perikaryon increased significantly with age, whereas the total volume of the Golgi apparatus remained essentially constant. Hence the mean percentage of perikaryal volume occupied by the Golgi apparatus decreased with age. This decrease was only in very minor part a consequence of lipofuscin accumulation, so that the ratio between the total volume of the Golgi apparatus and the functionally active volume of cytoplasm decreased with age. This decrease could be related to the reduced neuronal metabolism that occurs during ageing. It is possible that the delivery to the axon of newly synthesized proteins destined for fast transport is one of the Golgi apparatus roles that decrease with age. Finally, we found that the age-related quantitative changes in the Golgi apparatus did not differ between large light and small dark neurons.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To support evidence-based practice for infant health promotion by determining mothers' preferences among eight clinical intervention strategies. METHOD: A sample of 138 mothers of 4-month-old infants who received care through a county health department used a card sort method to rank order intervention strategies and identified advantages and disadvantages of each method. FINDINGS: The mothers' rank ordering of the clinical intervention strategies, beginning with the most preferred, was: 1. Nurse home visitation; 2. Group session with mothers, led by a nurse; 3. Community lay worker home visitation; 4. Classes in the clinic; 5. Health diary; 6. Videotapes at home; 7. Brochures; and 8. Videotapes in the clinic. CONCLUSIONS: Intervention strategies that use interpersonal communication, including the opportunity for mothers to ask questions, were most preferred. Strategies that involve one-way messages to mothers were least preferred. Investment in strategies that do not appeal to mothers are likely be ineffective in promoting infant health and wasteful of health care dollars.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta la determinación del antígeno de carcinoma epidemoide (SCC) en 62 pacientes portadoras de cáncer epidermoide de cuello uterino. Sólo el 45 por ciento de éstas presentaron niveles elevados previo a la terapia primaria, con una correlación estrecha entre sus niveles y el volumen tumoral presente. En 20 de estas pacientes se obtuvo una segunda muestra, con el objetivo de correlacionar los niveles con la respuesta clínica al finalizar el tratamiento, observándose que en el 88 por ciento de aquellas que presentaban valores iniciales elevados y que experimentaron una respuesta completa hubo normalización de los niveles. El SCC tiene ciertas limitaciones pero es contributorio en el seguimiento de estas pacientes

ABSTRACT

Nuclear and perikaryal volumes, as well as the mean percentage of perikaryal volume occupied by lipofuscin, were estimated in spinal ganglion neurons of 12, 42 and 79 month-old rabbits. The volume ratio between nucleus and perikaryal cytoplasm (N/C volume ratio) decreased progressively and significantly with increasing age. This was not a consequence of the perikaryal enlargement due to the age-related lipofuscin accumulation since the same result was obtained when the volume occupied by lipofuscin was subtracted from the perikaryal volume. The decrease in the N/C volume ratio may depend on an age-related loss of DNA, a cytoplasmic influence on nuclear size, or other unknown causes.

ABSTRACT

The quantitative aspects of the age-related accumulation of lipofuscin were studied in the rabbit spinal ganglia by stereological methods using the electron microscope. Both neurons and their associated satellite cells were examined. In neurons, the shape and structure of lipofuscin bodies differed in young adults (12-months-old) compared to aged rabbits (79-months-old), whereas substantial changes were not observed in satellite cells. Both in nerve and satellite cells, lipofuscin bodies were scattered singly in young adults, but were often clustered in old animals. Lipofuscin occupied an average of 0.36% of neuronal perikaryal volume in the young adults and 2.55% in the aged rabbits; these percentages are much lower than those observed in the same neurons of other species. In the satellite cells, the corresponding values were 0.29% and 2.02%. In the young adults, the mean size of lipofuscin bodies was significantly greater in neurons than in satellite cells; the size of these bodies increased with age by about 2.7 times in neurons and by about 1.7 times in satellite cells. Consequently, in the old rabbits the mean size of lipofuscin bodies was about 2.2 times greater in neurons than in satellite cells. It has been suggested that lipofuscin bodies are transferred from the neuronal perikaryon to the surrounding satellite cells and then removed via the capillaries. However, the present findings suggest that lipofuscin located in satellite cells represents pigment formed by these cells rather than being transferred from neuronal perikaryon. It would appear that the age-related accumulation of lipofuscin in the rabbit spinal ganglia has little effect on neuronal metabolism.
