Intermittent fasting associated with aerobic exercise improves oxidative parameters and causes muscle damage without compromising the performance of Wistar rats.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to` investigate the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) and the possible association with aerobic exercise on performance, oxidative, biochemical, and somatic parameters of Wistar rats.

Methods: Forty rats were randomized into the following groups: sedentary (SC) and trained (TC) controls, sedentary intermittent fasting (SIF), and trained intermittent fasting (TIF). The rats were subjected to IF for 15 h every day and aerobic exercise lasting 30 min, five times a week, at a speed of 15 m/min for 4 wk.

Implementation of advanced practice nursing in Brazilian Primary Health Care: methodological path.

Objectives: to describe the operationalization of the steps of a model proposed by the Pan American Health Organization for implementing advanced practice nursing in Primary Health Care services.

Methods: a methodological study, with a qualitative approach, carried out in a local health system located in southern São Paulo. The first six steps of the model were followed: 1) improve health outcomes; 2) identify stakeholders; 3) determine unmet health needs; 4) identify priorities and goals to introduce advanced nursing practices in primary health care; 5) define advanced practice nursing in primary health care; 6) plan implementation strategies.

Whole purple grape juice increases nitric oxide production after training session in high level beach handball athletes.

Aims to evaluate the effect of whole purple grape juice intake in the recovery of oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle injury after an intense training session. Fifteen high level men athletes were randomly distributed in supplemented (GJG; n=8; 28.7 ± 3.

Spirulina platensis prevents oxidative stress and inflammation promoted by strength training in rats: dose-response relation study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Spirulina Platensis supplementation on selected blood markers of oxidative stress, muscle damage, inflammation, and performance in trained rats. Rats (250 g - 300 g) were submitted to a strength training program (eight weeks), divided into four groups: control (GT) (trained without supplementation), trained with daily-supplementation of 50 mg/kg (GT50), 150 mg/kg (GT150) and 500 mg/kg (GT500). Training consisted of a jump protocol in PVC-cylinder containing water, with increasing load over experimental weeks.

200.000 IU of vitamin D does not reduce resting Blood Pressure and Inhibit Post-Exercise Hypotension in elderly women: a pilot study.

Given the scarcity of studies with elderly and the existence of studies investigating the effect of vitamin D supplementation in PEH (post exercise hypotension), this study evaluated the effect of a single megadose of vitamin D on resting blood pressure (RBP) and post-exercise hypotension (PEH) in the elderly. 11 hypertensive elderly women (70.3 ± 1.

Supplementation with Modulates Aortic Vascular Reactivity through Nitric Oxide and Antioxidant Activity.

The possible mechanism is involved in the effects of on vascular reactivity. Animals were divided into sedentary group (SG) and sedentary groups supplemented with at doses of 50 (SG50), 150 (SG150), and 500 mg/kg (SG500). To evaluate reactivity, cumulative concentration-response curves were constructed for phenylephrine and acetylcholine.

Aortic Response to Strength Training and Dependent on Nitric Oxide and Antioxidants.

Studies have shown that supplementation with improves vascular reactivity. However, it is unclear whether in association with strength training this effect can be enhanced. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effects of strength training and on the reactivity of the aorta from Wistar rat and the possible mechanisms involved.

Effect of L-arginine intake on exercise-induced hypotension.

Objective: to verify if one single dose of L-arginine improves post-exercise hypotension (PEH) in hypertensive.

Methods: double-blind, placebo, randomized with 20 hypertensive (51.47 ± 1.

Advanced practice nursing: a possibility for Primary Health Care?

Objective: Reflect on the role of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the context of Brazilian primary health care.

Method: analysis of the main scientific productions and of the discussion on the implementation of APN.

Results: there are favorable areas for the work of APN in primary health care, especially in the family health strategy.

Whole Red Grape Juice Reduces Blood Pressure at Rest and Increases Post-exercise Hypotension.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of whole red grape juice (juice) on blood pressure (BP) at rest and on the magnitude of post-exercise hypotension (PEH).

Methods: This double-blind, randomized controlled study was performed with 26 individuals with hypertension (40 to 59 years old) who were divided into experimental (n = 14) and control (n = 12) groups. Subsequently, the experimental group was subdivided according to the initial BP values.

Multiprofessional residency in health: a document analysis of political pedagogical projects.

Unlabelled: The object of the present study was collaborative education in multiprofessional residency in health (MPRH) through interprofessional education (IPE).

Objective: To analyze MPRH political pedagogical projects (PPP) developed in the state of São Paulo and identify scenarios that are highly favorable to IPE.

Method: This was a descriptive exploratory study conducted through document analysis.

Nursing education in Brazil: a historical perspective.

This article describes the process of the expansion of higher education in Brazilian nursing, highlighting the diversity and heterogeneity of the system. It is observed that teaching in this area developed in a very fast and disorganized fashion, as of the nineties. This growth resulted in great diversity and variety of educational institutions, which are aspects that also affect the profile of the faculty, particularly their title and working arrangements, which vary according to their institutional placement.
