Safe administration of yellow fever vaccine in patients with suspected egg allergy.

Background: The evidence available in the literature on the administration and safety of the yellow fever vaccine in patients with egg allergy is limited.

Objective: We sought to describe the administration of yellow fever vaccine in children with suspected egg allergy using a simplified protocol.

Methods: Children referred to the service from February 2018 to January 2020 with a history of possible egg allergy were classified as probably egg-allergic or not on the basis of history and specific IgE testing.

Histomorphometric evaluation of the Ki-67 proliferation rate and CD34 microvascular and D2-40 lymphovascular densities drives the pulmonary typical carcinoid outcome.

Ki-67 has shown promise as a prognostic factor in pulmonary carcinoids. In this study, we sought to validate the importance of Ki-67 and study the relationships between Ki-67 and other stromal biomarkers of vascular density. We examined Ki-67, CD34, and D2-40 in tumor tissues from 128 patients with surgically excised typical carcinoid of the lung.

Complex rhythmicity and age dependence of growth hormone secretion are preserved in patients with acromegaly: further evidence for a present hypothalamic control of pituitary somatotropinomas.

Context: Traditionally, acromegaly is viewed as a disease resulting from GH hypersecretion from an autonomous pituitary somatotropinoma.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that GH secretion in acromegaly is still subjected to normal hypothalamic control, we studied the daily rhythmicity of GH secretion in normal controls and patients with newly diagnosed, untreated acromegaly.

Design And Setting: This was an observational inpatient study in the General Clinical Research Center at the University of Michigan.

The impact of changing health indicators on infant mortality rates in Brazil, 2000 and 2005.

Objectives: To investigate the associations between changes in indicators of health-related resources and coverage, and variations in infant mortality rates (IMR) in Brazil's 27 states in 2000 and 2005.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Ministry of Health's online database, DATASUS. Stepwise multiple regressions were performed to model changes in IMR and its components (early, late, and post-neonatal mortality), using changes in the selected health indicators as predictors.

[Effect of the nutritional supplementation with glicine and glutamine, oral feeding, in the colonic cicatrization in rabbits].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of two amino-acids, glycine and glutamine, in the epithelialization of the colonic mucosa, size of the scar area, fibrous as well as the tensile strength of the intestinal anastomoses, after the removal of 17 cm of the colon and an end-to-end with interrupted suture.

Methods: Forty five male adult rabbits varying between 24 and 28 weeks of age with the starting average weight of 2,362 grams were randomly distributed into five groups, according to their respective type of feeding. Two animals died in each group due to different complications.

Gastric emptying of solids and semi-solids in morbidly obese and non-obese subjects: an assessment using the 13C-octanoic acid and 13C-acetic acid breath tests.

Background: It has been suggested that obesity is associated with an altered rate of gastric emptying. The objective of the present study was to determine whether the rates of solid and semi-solid gastric emptying differ between morbidly obese patients and lean subjects.

Methods: The Gastric-emptying time (GET) of solid and semi-solid meals were compared between lean healthy subjects and morbidly obese patients enrolled in two previously published studies.

[Nutritional status and related factors among elderly Brazilians].

Objective: This study describes the nutritional status and associated factors among elderly Brazilians.

Methods: Data from "Pesquisa sobre Padrões de Vida" (PPV- Life Pattern Research), conducted by the "Brazilian Geographic and Statistics Institute" in 1996/1997 were used. Body Mass Index (BMI) was applied to classify nutritional status and is the response variable of this study.

Predictive factors of chronic kidney disease in primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Renal histological features of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are found in 75% of pediatric patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. In order to evaluate the predictive factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD), we retrospectively reviewed the records of 110 children with biopsy-proven FSGS admitted between 1972 and 2004. Renal survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox's regression model.

Clinical course of 110 children and adolescents with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to report the clinical course of children and adolescents with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The records of 110 patients with biopsy-proven FSGS admitted between 1972 and 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were recorded and histopathological data were reanalyzed by one pathologist who had no information about the outcome of the patients.

[Overweight and obesity prevalence among children and adolescents from Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil].

Objective: To study the prevalence of obesity and overweight among children and adolescents from Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil.

Methods: Data was collected form Life Pattern Research conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 1997. A sample of 3,317 children and 3,943 adolescents was studied according age groups.

[Overweight and obesity prevalence in Northeast and Southeast Regions of Brazil].

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children, adolescents, adults and elderlies from Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil.

Methods: anthropometric evaluation of 17.184 people, studied in Life Pattern Research conducted by Brazilian Institute of Geographic and Statistics in 1996/97, by body mass index.

Comparison of body mass index values proposed by Cole et al. (2000) and Must et al. (1991) for identifying obese children with weight-for-height index recommended by the World Health Organization.

Objectives: To calculate the sensitivity, specificity and agreement of body mass index (BMI) values proposed by Cole et al. (Br. Med.

Recommendations for the use of body mass index for the classification of overweight and obese children and adolescents.

Brazilian national data were used to compare body mass index (BMI) cutoff values proposed by Cole et al. (2000), which are based on statistical criteria of continuity to adult cutoff values, and those proposed by Must et al. (1991), which are recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
