Between scientific dissemination and late-stage eugenics: ruptures and continuations in the intellectual trajectory of Salvador de Toledo Piza Jr., 1898-1988.

This article analyzes the ruptures from and continuations of eugenicist ideology in the work of Salvador de Toledo Piza Jr., a geneticist and professor at the Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz." Documentary research involving articles, correspondence, and notes from this former director of the Boletim de Eugenia investigates the reshaping of eugenics in the post-1945 context, a time when Piza Jr.

[The comparative evaluation of level of security culture in medical organizations].

The study was carried out on the basis of clinic “Medicine” in 2014-2015 concerning security culture. The sampling included 465 filled HSPSC questionnaires. The comparative analysis of received was implemented.

A new method for screening diagnosis of insulin resistance.

A simple method for the diagnosis of insulin resistance, easily realized in clinical practice, is developed in order to detect patients at a high risk of diseases associated with this condition. The metabolic index is estimated as the proportion of triglycerides and glucose values to quadratic HDL cholesterol value (in mmol/liter). The specific feature of this method for detection of insulin resistance in comparison with the known indirect methods is the use of routine biochemical values, evaluated in venous serum, for estimations.

[New metabolic index in the diagnosis of insulin resistance in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease].

Unlabelled: Early diagnosis of insulin resistance (IR) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is relevant in connection with the possibility of timely correction and the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic significance of the new metabolic index (MI) in the early diagnosis of IR in patients with NAFLD.

Materials And Methods: In 494 patients with ultrasonographic evidence of NAFLD have been studied lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

[Hybrid revascularization: a combined approach to multivessel coronary artery lesions].

Analysis of effectiveness and feasibility of hybrid approach to multivessel coronary artery disease and problems of interaction between cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists in deciding on the choice of revascularization method is performed in the article. Hybrid approach to multivessel disease defined as sternal sparing, off-pump, minimally invasive, hand sewn left internal mammary - left anterior descending (LAD) arteries by-pass graft with percutaneous coronary revascularization of non-LAD lesions to achieve functionally complete revascularization is described in detail. Data of multicenter studies and clinical recommendations for myocardial revascularization is discussed.
