Article Synopsis
- Headache is a common symptom in COVID-19, affecting 6.5% to 34% of patients, but previous studies often included unverified cases or focused on severe cases.
- The study analyzed 24 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients who reported headaches, revealing that the average age was 53.8 years and most had no prior history of headaches.
- The headaches were mainly bifrontal or holistic, of a pressure quality, typically began early in illness, and worsened with physical activity, but no unique characteristics were found to distinguish them from other headache causes.
Purpose: To assess weight changes in rats fed diets with different ratios of omegas 3, 6 and 9 submitted to colonic carcinogenesis induced by Azoxymethane (AOM).
Methods: Sixty rats with three weeks of life were distributed into five groups of specific diets containing 12 animals each: GI- Standard diet without administration of AOM, GII- Standard diet with administration of AOM; GIII- Hyperlipidic diet with administration of AOM; GIV-Normolipidic diet with administration of AOM; GV- Hypolipidic diet with administration of AOM. The weight and food intake of each group were assessed four times in each week throughout the experiment until euthanasia at 36th week.
Objective: To evaluate the hepatic effects of colonic carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane at different doses and times of exposure in rats.
Methods: Forty-four Wistar rats were divided into four groups. The animals were eight weeks at the beginning of the experiment.
