Remote ischemic preconditioning in myocardial protection in hemodialysis patients.

Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a procedure that generates a brief period of ischemia followed by reperfusion. The role of RIPC in protecting myocardial ischemia during hemodialysis is not yet established. The aim of the study was to evaluate RIPC myocardial protection as evaluated by ultrasensitive I troponin in hemodialysis outpatients.

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma with predominant bone involvement, initially diagnosed by its oral manifestation: a case report.

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL/L) is a rare malignant neoplasm linked to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). This virus has been identified in Japan, the Caribbean, and, more recently, Brazil. We report a case of ATL/L (lymphoma-type) affecting a 30-year-old Brazilian woman.
