Background: Rapid and severe weight loss can result in the reduction of the ear tube lining fat tissue and it becomes patent, leading to symptoms such as autophony, aural fullness and tinnitus. Patients after bariatric surgery have, in theory, a predisposition to the development of such alteration.
Aim: To evaluate the presence of patent tuba-related complaints in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, correlating with weight and body mass index (BMI) values, as well as demographic data.
Introduction: The glomerulopathies are the most common biopsy-proven kidney diseases. The epidemiological investigation of glomerulopathies allows the identification of their distribution and main causes and enables the development of prevention and treatment strategies.
Objective: This study aims to identify the frequency and clinical-pathological correlation of glomerular diseases diagnosed at the HC-UFPR over the period of 5 years.
