Nutritional status and changes in muscle and adipose tissue determined by computed tomography as predictors of mortality in hospitalized patients.
Radiol Bras
November 2024
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether nutritional status and changes in muscle and adipose tissue determined by computed tomography are predictors of mortality in hospitalized patients. This was a prospective cohort study involving patients ≥ 20 years of age hospitalized in a public hospital. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected from electronic medical records.

- Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite that can infect humans through contaminated water, raw foods, or undercooked meat, and recent studies indicate fresh goat milk may pose a risk for human infection.
- This study aimed to evaluate how long tachyzoites survive in fresh goat milk and their infectivity using Swiss Webster mice as a model to assess clinical signs, DNA presence, and serological responses.
- Results showed that fresh goat milk can harbor viable tachyzoites, with higher risks associated with shorter refrigeration times and higher parasite loads, emphasizing the need for molecular testing to ensure safety in goat dairy products.
Objectives: This study aims to establish cut-off points for lipid accumulation product and tri-ponderal mass index to identify insulin resistance (IR) in Brazilian postpubertal adolescents.
Methods: We conducted an analysis of postpubertal adolescents enrolled in the national school-based cross-sectional study of cardiovascular risks in adolescents (ERICA-BRAZIL) from February 2013 to November 2014. IR was defined by homeostatic model assessment index for IR values ≥2.
Anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies were investigated in 125 Saimiri spp. kept at a research institute. A total of 12% of primates tested positive, all of which were Saimiri sciureus.
