RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess factors associated with long-term neuropsychiatric outcomes, including biomarkers measured after discharge from the intensive care unit. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was performed with 65 intensive care unit survivors. The cognitive evaluation was performed through the Mini-Mental State Examination, the symptoms of anxiety and depression were evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and posttraumatic stress disorder was evaluated using the Impact of Event Scale-6. Plasma levels of amyloid-beta (1-42) [Aß (1-42)], Aß (1-40), interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, IL-33, IL-4, IL-5, tumor necrosis factor alpha, C-reactive protein, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were measured at intensive care unit discharge. RESULTS: Of the variables associated with intensive care, only delirium was independently related to the occurrence of long-term cognitive impairment. In addition, higher levels of IL-10 and IL-6 were associated with cognitive dysfunction. Only IL-6 was independently associated with depression. Mechanical ventilation, IL-33 levels, and C-reactive protein levels were independently associated with anxiety. No variables were independently associated with posttraumatic stress disorder. CONCLUSION: Cognitive dysfunction, as well as symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder, are present in patients who survive a critical illness, and some of these outcomes are associated with the levels of inflammatory biomarkers measured at discharge from the intensive care unit.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to assess the effects of omega-3 supplementation as an adjunct treatment for eating and psychological symptoms in patients with anorexia nervosa. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the literature using the terms 'anorexia nervosa' AND 'Fatty Acids, Omega-3'. Five randomised controlled trials with a total of 144 participants, published between 2003 and 2022, were included. RESULTS: The effects of supplementation of omega-3 on anxiety were standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.08 to 1.66; p = 0.08; I² = 3%; two studies, 33 participants; moderate quality of evidence. For depression, the supplementation of omega-3 was SMD: 0.22, 95% CI: -0.50 to 0.93; p = 0.18; I² = 45%; two studies, 33 participants; moderate quality of evidence. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the supplementation of omega-3 was SMD: -0.22, 95% CI: -0.70 to 2.25; p = 0.36; I² = 0%; three studies, 32 participants; low quality of evidence. CONCLUSION: This research showed that regardless of dose, time or, if associated with other components, the use of omega-3 supplementations as an adjuvant treatment showed no evidence of effect in eating and psychological symptoms in patients with anorexia nervosa.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess factors associated with long-term neuropsychiatric outcomes, including biomarkers measured after discharge from the intensive care unit. Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed with 65 intensive care unit survivors. The cognitive evaluation was performed through the Mini-Mental State Examination, the symptoms of anxiety and depression were evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and posttraumatic stress disorder was evaluated using the Impact of Event Scale-6. Plasma levels of amyloid-beta (1-42) [Aβ (1-42)], Aβ (1-40), interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, IL-33, IL-4, IL-5, tumor necrosis factor alpha, C-reactive protein, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were measured at intensive care unit discharge. Results: Of the variables associated with intensive care, only delirium was independently related to the occurrence of long-term cognitive impairment. In addition, higher levels of IL-10 and IL-6 were associated with cognitive dysfunction. Only IL-6 was independently associated with depression. Mechanical ventilation, IL-33 levels, and C-reactive protein levels were independently associated with anxiety. No variables were independently associated with posttraumatic stress disorder.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores associados aos desfechos neuropsiquiátricos de longo prazo, incluindo biomarcadores, medidos após a alta da unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de coorte prospectivo com 65 sobreviventes de unidades de terapia intensiva. A avaliação cognitiva foi realizada por meio do Miniexame do Estado Mental; os sintomas de ansiedade e depressão foram avaliados por meio da Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão, e o transtorno de estresse pós-traumático foi avaliado pela Escala de Impacto do Evento-6. Os níveis plasmáticos de beta amiloide (1-42), beta amiloide (1-40), interleucina 10, interleucina 6, interleucina 33, interleucina 4, interleucina 5, fator de necrose tumoral alfa, proteína C-reativa e fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro foram medidos na alta da unidade de terapia intensiva. Resultados: Das variáveis associadas à terapia intensiva, apenas o delirium foi relacionado de forma independente à ocorrência de comprometimento cognitivo de longo prazo. Além disso, níveis mais altos de interleucina 10 e interleucina 6 foram associados à disfunção cognitiva. Apenas a interleucina 6 foi associada de forma independente à depressão. A ventilação mecânica, os níveis de interleucina 33 e os níveis de proteína C-reativa foram associados de forma independente à ansiedade. Nenhuma variável foi associada de forma independente ao transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Conclusão: A disfunção cognitiva, bem como os sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e transtorno de estresse pós-traumático, estão presentes em pacientes que sobrevivem a uma doença grave, e alguns desses desfechos estão associados aos níveis de biomarcadores inflamatórios medidos na alta da unidade de terapia intensiva.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The legacies of colonization and of policies of forced assimilation continue to be a cause of intergenerational trauma, manifested through feelings of marginality, depression, anxiety and confusion, which place indigenous peoples at increased risk of suicide. OBJECTIVES: To assess the quality, content, delivery and effectiveness of interventions for preventing suicides among indigenous adolescents. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review conducted with Cochrane methodology, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. METHODS: The Cochrane library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, LILACS and PsycINFO databases were searched for studies published up to February 2021. The following inclusion criteria were used: published in any language; interventions that aimed to prevent suicides among indigenous adolescents; randomized or non-randomized study with a control or comparative group; and validated measurements of mental health problems. RESULTS: Two studies were identified: one on adolescents in the remote Yup'ik community in south-western Alaska, and the other on Zuni adolescents in New Mexico. Both studies showed evidence of effectiveness in interventions for reducing some of the risk factors and increasing some of the protective factors associated with suicide. High levels of community engagement and culture-centeredness were key anchors of both studies, which ensured that the intervention content, delivery and outcome measurements aligned with the beliefs and practices of the communities. Both studies were judged to have a moderate risk of bias, with biases in sample selection, attrition and inadequate reporting of results. CONCLUSIONS: The current evidence base is small but signaled the value of culturally appropriate interventions for prevention of suicide among indigenous adolescents. REGISTRATION DETAILS: The study protocol is registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO); no. CRD42019141754.

RESUMO

Abstract Objectives: to assess the effects of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy on the outcomes of vitamin D concentration in newborns, length at birth, overall health (Apgar), birth weight and maternal vitamin D concentration after childbirth. Methods: this research was conducted in the electronic databases of MEDLINE, LILACS, EMBASE and Cochrane Library until December 2020, using the terms "vitamin D", "pregnancy", "vitamin D deficiency", "infant", "newborn" and their synonyms. Randomized controlled trials were searched by evaluating the effects of maternal vitamin D supplementation in neonates. The data was analyzed on RevMan 5.4 software and the quality of evidence on GRADE. Results: the newborn's overall health condition was presented as Apgar, with a mean difference (MD) of 0.15 (CI95%=0.06-0.25; p=0.002; I2=0%, two studies, 648 participants, moderate quality evidence) at the first minute and 0.11 (CI95%=0.04-0.17; p=0.001; I2=0%, two studies, 648 participants, moderate quality evidence) at the fifth minute. Significant effects were also presented at the length at birth considering any supplemented dose (MD=0.19; CI95%=0.08-0.30; p=0.0010; I2=0%, 1452 participants, low quality evidence) and birth weight in doses higher than 4000IU/day (MD=257.05 (CI95%=137.81-376.29; p<0.0001; I2=14%, 176 participants, moderate quality evidence). Conclusion: vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy improves serum 25 (OH) D concentration and suggests positive effects on overall health condition, length at birth and birth weight. PROSPERO CRD42017073292.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a host's unregulated immune response to eliminate the infection. After hospitalization, sepsis survivors often suffer from long-term impairments in memory, attention, verbal fluency, and executive functioning. To understand the effects of sepsis and the exacerbated peripheral inflammatory response in the brain, we asked the question: What are the findings and inflammatory markers in the brains of deceased sepsis patients? To answer this question, we conducted this systematic review by the recommendations of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. DATA SOURCES: Relevant studies were identified by searching the PubMed/National Library of Medicine, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Bibliographical Index in Spanish in Health Sciences, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and Web of Science databases for peer-reviewed journal articles published on April 05, 2021. STUDY SELECTION: A total of 3,745 articles were included in the primary screening; after omitting duplicate articles, animal models, and reviews, 2,896 articles were selected for the study. These studies were selected based on the title and abstract, and 2,772 articles were still omitted based on the exclusion criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: The complete texts of the remaining 124 articles were obtained and thoroughly evaluated for the final screening, and 104 articles were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: The postmortem brain had edema, abscess, hemorrhagic and ischemic injuries, infarction, hypoxia, atrophy, hypoplasia, neuronal loss, axonal injuries, demyelination, and necrosis. CONCLUSIONS: The mechanisms by which sepsis induces brain dysfunction are likely to include vascular and neuronal lesions, followed by the activation of glial cells and the presence of peripheral immune cells in the brain.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Brain injury has several consequences throughout life, its increased incidence has caused great public concern. The aim was identifying the main nutritional therapies recommended for children with brain injuries. METHODS: A systematic review was carried out using the terms in the search strategy: "Brain Injuries", "Nutrition Therapy", and "Child" and their synonyms, from database inception up to August 2020. The search was conducted in the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane library, LILACS, and grey literature. Two reviewers independently selected the included studies, according to the eligibility criteria and extracted data from the included articles. RESULTS: A total of 1196 studies resulted from electronic searches, and out of these, 27 studies were read in full and eight studies were included. For early enteral nutritional support (<48 h), results suggest benefit in increasing survival rates. Type of dietary protein seems to be related to decreasing gastric emptying by 40%. The use of fibers seems to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort and increase stool frequency. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence mapped was extracted from small studies analyzing different outcomes, so any decision making should be analyzed considering the context. We present the direction of the effect, but the magnitude is still unclear.

RESUMO

Abstract: Introduction: The Progress Test was created to address the necessity of measuring the level of knowledge consolidation along the years of Medical school. The test is administered periodically to all students in a curriculum, assessing the student's cognitive growth throughout their journey at undergraduate level. In addition to assessing the student individually, the test evaluates the institution, showing in which areas its curriculum base should be improved. The aim is to assess the Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense student's perception of the Progress Test. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed. Data was collected through questionnaires created by the researchers and applied to medical students - the ones who took the Progress Test at least once - from October 15th to November 30th, 2018. The statistical analysis was performed with a 95% confidence interval. Results: A response rate of 70.41% was obtained, with a total of 424 questionnaires being included in the research. Demographic data showed a predominance of female gender (60,4%) and white ethnicity (96,2%) in the population and a mean age of 23 years. In all semesters (early, intermediate and final ones) the participants knew the goal of the progress test, and most students consider it important. It was also observed that the majority of the students considered clinical surgery and collective health as their worst performance in the test. In clinical medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology-obstetrics, the students of the intermediate and final semesters were satisfied with their level of knowledge. "To evaluate the student's progress/performance" was highlighted as the most positive point. Among the negative ones "decrease the number of questions so the test is not as extensive" was emphasized. Conclusion: The students of the sample consider the Progress Test important and know about its purpose. The final third of the Medical School is the one who feels most prepared to face the test. The main fields to which the students attributed their worst performance were clinical surgery and collective health. Regarding clinical medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and obstetrics the students were satisfied with their knowledge.


Resumo: Introdução: O Teste de Progresso serve para medir a consolidação do conhecimento ao longo da formação acadêmica médica. O teste é administrado periodicamente a todos os alunos de um currículo, com o propósito de avaliar o crescimento cognitivo deles na graduação. Além de avaliar o estudante de forma individual, o teste avalia a instituição, de modo a mostrar em quais áreas a sua base curricular deve ser melhorada. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a percepção de acadêmicos de Medicina da Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense em relação ao Teste de Progresso. Método: Realizou-se um estudo transversal, em que se coletaram dados por meio de questionários elaborados pelos pesquisadores, aplicados aos alunos do curso de Medicina - que fizeram o Teste de Progresso em algum momento do curso - no período de 15 de outubro a 30 de novembro de 2018. A análise estatística foi realizada com um nível de confiança de 95%. Resultados: Obteve-se uma taxa de resposta de 70,41%, com um número de 424 questionários incluídos na pesquisa. Os dados demográficos revelam uma população de predominância feminina (60,4%), branca (96,2%), com uma média de 23 anos de idade. Nas fases iniciais, intermediárias e finais da pesquisa, os participantes sabiam o objetivo do Teste de Progresso, bem como a maioria dos estudantes, em todas as fases, considerou-o importante. Observou-se também que a maioria dos estudantes considera clínica cirúrgica e saúde coletiva como seu pior desempenho no Teste de Progresso. Já nas áreas de clínica médica, pediatria e ginecologia obstetrícia, os estudantes das fases intermediárias e finais se consideram satisfeitos com seu nível de conhecimento. "Avaliar a evolução/o desempenho do acadêmico" foi o ponto positivo mais citado. Já entre os negativos, destacou-se "diminuir o número de questões para que a prova não fique tão extensa". Conclus ões: Os estudantes da amostra consideram o Teste de Progresso importante e conhecem o objetivo dele. Reconheceram que se sentiram mais preparados nas fases finais. As principais áreas a que os estudantes atribuíram seu pior desempenho foram: clínica cirúrgica e saúde coletiva. Já nas áreas de clínica médica, pediatria e ginecologia obstetrícia, eles se mostraram satisfeitos com o próprio nível de conhecimento.

RESUMO

Metanálise é o método estatístico utilizado na revisão sistemática para integrar os resultados dos estudos incluídos e aumentar o poder estatístico da pesquisa primária.Estudos de metanálise, decorrentes de uma revisão sistemática, envolvem a combinação e a análise de evidências, que são utilizadas para produzir resultados baseados em conjunto de pesquisas prévias. Métodos tradicionais de metanálise sintetizam os dados agregados obtidos de publicações de estudo, como estimativa de efeito de tratamento (odds ratio, risco relativo) e sua incerteza associada (erro padrão ou intervalo de confiança). Uma abordagem alternativa é a metanálise individual de dados de participantes ou de pacientes, nos quais os dados de nível individual bruto para cada estudo são obtidos e utilizados para síntese. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar, de forma metodológica, como realizar e interpretar uma revisão sistemática e uma metanálise individual de dados de participantes. (AU)


A meta-analysisis the statistical method used in the systematic review to integrate the result sof includeds tudies, and to increase the statistical power of primary research. Meta-analysis studies, stemming from a systematic review, involve the combination and analysis of evidence that are used to produce results based on a set of previous research. Traditional meta-analysis methods synthesize aggreg ate data obtained from study publications, such as anestimate of treatment effect (odds ratio, relative risk) and the ir associated uncertainty (standard error or confidence interval). An alternative approach isthe individual meta-analysis of participants' or patients' data, in whichgross individual-level data for eachstudy are obtained and used for synthesis. The objective of this articleis to present a method o logical way of performing and in ter preting a systematic review and individual meta-analysisof the participants' data. (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma that aims to construct a new path for the output of feces or urine. The relationship of oxidative stress (OxS) markers in patients with ostomy is still poorly described. OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at investigating the changes in oxidative stress parameters in peripheral blood collected from ostomy patients when compared with a healthy control group. METHODS: It was evaluated 29 ostomy patients and 30 healthy control patients. The oxidative stress parameters evaluated were: lipid peroxidation [lipid hydroperoxide (LPO), 8-isoprostane (8-ISO) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)], protein oxidation and nitration [carbonyl and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT)] and DNA oxidation [8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG)] in serum from ostomy patients compared to health controls. RESULTS: The data showed an increase of LPO, 8-ISO, 4-HNE, 3-NT and 8-OHDG in serum collected from ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The findings support the hypothesis that ostomy triggers the oxidative stress observed in the blood collected from these patients.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the depressive symptoms and changes in neurotrophins (BDNF, NGF, NT-3), and cortisol levels in serum of peripheral blood from ostomy patients compared to healthy control group. Methods: We evaluated ostomy (n = 29) and healthy control (n = 30) patients. The neurotrophin (BDNF, NGF, NT-3), and cortisol levels were assessed by ELISA in serum of peripheral blood. Depressive symptoms were defined based on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), and major depression disorder was based on clinical interviews and was confirmed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I). Results: The results showed a significant decrease in BDNF levels and, a significant increase in NT-3 levels in serum of peripheral blood from ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. The levels of NGF and cortisol showed no significant differences between groups. The depressive symptom evaluations by HDRS demonstrated a significant increase in ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. The major depression disorder diagnosis by SCID-I showed no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: Our results suggest ostomy triggers significant depressive symptoms and alterations in neurotrophins levels in serum of peripheral blood samples collected from these patients.


RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar os sintomas depressivos e alterações nos níveis de neurotrofinas (BDNF, NGF, NT-3) e cortisol em soro de sangue periférico de pacientes ostomizados em comparação com grupo controle saudável. Métodos: Foram avaliados pacientes ostomizados (n = 29) e controles saudáveis (n = 30). Os níveis de neurotrofinas (BDNF, NGF, NT-3) e cortisol foram avaliados por kit ELISA em soro de sangue periférico. Os sintomas depressivos foram definidos com base na Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), e o transtorno depressivo maior foi baseado em entrevistas clínicas e confirmado pela Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I). Resultados: Os resultados mostraram diminuição significativa nos níveis de BDNF e aumento significativo nos níveis de NT-3 no soro de sangue periférico de pacientes ostomizados quando comparados com controles saudáveis. Os níveis de NGF e cortisol não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os grupos. As avaliações dos sintomas depressivos pela HDRS demonstraram aumento significativo em pacientes ostomizados quando comparados com controles saudáveis. O diagnóstico de transtorno depressivo maior pela SCID-I não mostrou diferença significativa entre os grupos. Conclusão: Nossos resultados sugerem que a ostomia desencadeia sintomas depressivos significativos e alterações nos níveis de neurotrofinas no soro de sangue periférico coletadas desses pacientes

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and MetS-related stroke is set to increase dramatically in coming decades. MetS is a complex disease that includes endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, ectopic obesity, and dyslipidaemia and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. One function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) is the cholesterol-efflux pathway, which is the pathway where cholesterol is removed from macrophages within the arterial walls back into the bloodstream and out to the liver. As one of the key functions of HDL, their hypothesis was that if they could measure HDL-C-efflux capacity, they would have a better handle on the role of HDL in atherosclerosis. However, there are no systematic analyses or well-conducted meta-analyses to evaluate the relationship between HDL-C functionality and MetS. The aim of this study is to examine this association of HDL-C functionality with MetS in different ages and sex. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The update systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted using published studies that will be identified from electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar). Studies that examined the association between HDL-C functionality and MetS; focused on cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies; were conducted among in adults aged 40 to 70 years; provided sufficient data for calculating odds ratio or relative risk with a 95% confidence interval; were published as original articles written in English or other languages; and have been published until January 2018 will be included. Study selection, data collection, quality assessment, and statistical syntheses will be conducted based on discussions among investigators. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was not required for this study because it was based on published studies. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO (CRD42018083465).

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and MetS-related stroke is set to increase dramatically in coming decades. MetS is a complex disease that includes endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, ectopic obesity, and dyslipidaemia and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. One function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) is the cholesterol-efflux pathway, which is the pathway where cholesterol is removed from macrophages within the arterial walls back into the bloodstream and out to the liver. As one of the key functions of HDL, their hypothesis was that if they could measure HDL-C-efflux capacity, they would have a better handle on the role of HDL in atherosclerosis. However, there are no systematic analyses or well-conducted meta-analyses to evaluate the relationship between HDL-C functionality and MetS. The aim of this study is to examine this association of HDL-C functionality with MetS in different ages and sex.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma that aims to construct a new path for the output of feces or urine. The relationship of oxidative stress (OxS) markers in patients with ostomy is still poorly described. OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at investigating the changes in oxidative stress parameters in peripheral blood collected from ostomy patients when compared with a healthy control group. METHODS: It was evaluated 29 ostomy patients and 30 healthy control patients. The oxidative stress parameters evaluated were: lipid peroxidation [lipid hydroperoxide (LPO), 8-isoprostane (8-ISO) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)], protein oxidation and nitration [carbonyl and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT)] and DNA oxidation [8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG)] in serum from ostomy patients compared to health controls. RESULTS: The data showed an increase of LPO, 8-ISO, 4-HNE, 3-NT and 8-OHDG in serum collected from ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The findings support the hypothesis that ostomy triggers the oxidative stress observed in the blood collected from these patients.


RESUMO CONTEXTO: Ostomia é um procedimento cirúrgico que cria um estoma com objetivo de construir um novo caminho para a saída das fezes ou urina. A relação dos marcadores de estresse oxidativo em pacientes ostomizados ainda é pouco descrita. OBJETIVO: O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar as alterações dos parâmetros de estresse oxidativo em sangue de pacientes ostomizados comparados a controles saudáveis. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 29 pacientes ostomizados e 30 controles saudáveis. Os parâmetros de estresse oxidativo avaliados foram: peroxidação lipídica [hidroperóxido de lipídio (LPO), 8-isoprostano (8-ISO) e 4-hidroxinonenal (4-HNE)], oxidação e nitração de proteínas [carbonila e 3-nitrotirosina (3-NT)] e oxidação do DNA [8-hidroxi-2'-desoxiguanosina (8-OHDG)] em soro de pacientes ostomizados comparados a controles saudáveis. RESULTADOS: Os dados mostraram um aumento de LPO, 8-ISO, 4-HNE, 3-NT e 8-OHDG em soro de pacientes ostomizados em comparação a controles saudáveis. CONCLUSÃO: Os achados sustentam a hipótese de que a ostomia desencadeia o estresse oxidativo observado no sangue coletado destes pacientes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is now widely recognized as a multifactorial disease with outcomes that arise from complex factors such as plaque components, blood flow, and inflammation. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active fat depot, abundant in proinflammatory cytokines, and has been correlated with the extent and severity of carotid artery disease (CD). The locations most frequently affected by carotid atherosclerosis are the proximal internal carotid artery (ie, the origin) and the common carotid artery bifurcation. Progression of atheromatous plaque at the carotid bifurcation results in luminal narrowing, often accompanied by ulceration. However, there are no systematic analyses or well-conducted meta-analyses to evaluate the relationship between EAT and CD. The aim of this study is to examine this association of EAT with CD in different ages and sex. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted using published studies that will be identified from electronic databases (ie, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies that (1) examined the association between EAT and CD, (2) focus on cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies, (3) will conducted among in adults aged 40 to 70 years, (4) provided sufficient data for calculating ORs or relative risk with a 95% CI, (5) will published as original articles written in English or other languages, and (6) have been published until January 2018 will be included. Study selection, data collection, quality assessment and statistical syntheses will be conducted based on discussions among investigators. RESULTS: We propose the current protocol to evaluate the evaluation of EAT with ED. CONCLUSION: This systematic review will not need ethical approval, because it does not involve human beings. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was not required for this study because it was based on published studies. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO (CRD42018083458).
