Improvement of laboratory markers of anaemia in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding with a 19.5-mg intrauterine device: a pilot study.

Objectives: To evaluate improvements in laboratory markers of anaemia (haemoglobin, haematocrit, serum iron, and ferritin) in women with subjective heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) treated with the levonorgestrel 19.5-mg intrauterine device.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a pilot study at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Campinas, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Campinas, SP, Brazil.

Pork Meat Composition and Health: A Review of the Evidence.

Meat has been part of the human diet for centuries and it is a recognizable source of high-biologic-value protein and several micronutrients; however, its consumption has been associated with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, cancer).

Using interoperable nursing care data to improve outcomes for multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility.

Aim(s): To demonstrate how interoperable nursing care data can be used by nurses to create a more holistic understanding of the healthcare needs of multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility. By proposing and validating linkages for the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Physical Mobility in multiple trauma patients by mapping to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) equivalent terms using free-text nursing documentation.

Design: A descriptive cross-sectional design, combining quantitative analysis of interoperable data sets and the Kappa's coefficient score with qualitative insights from cross-mapping methodology and nursing professionals' consensus.

Whole-exome sequencing as a diagnostic tool for distal renal tubular acidosis.

Objective: Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by metabolic acidosis due to impaired renal acid excretion. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the genetic diagnosis of four children with dRTA through use of whole-exome sequencing.

Methods: Two unrelated families were selected; a total of four children with dRTA and their parents, in order to perform whole-exome sequencing.

Dental findings in Brazilian patients with Fanconi syndrome.

Background: Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a generalized dysfunction of renal proximal tubules resulting in impaired reabsorption of amino acids, phosphate, urate, bicarbonate, glucose, and electrolytes. FS can be a primary renal impairment due to genetic origin or secondary to inborn errors of metabolism or systemic diseases. Main clinical findings are polyuria, failure to thrive, rickets/osteomalacia, metabolic acidosis, bone deformities, and, occasionally, nephrocalcinosis.

Milk nutritional composition and its role in human health.

Dairy and milk consumption are frequently included as important elements in a healthy and balanced diet. It is the first food for mammals and provides all the necessary energy and nutrients to ensure proper growth and development, being crucial in respect to bone mass formation. However, several controversies arise from consumption of dairy and milk products during adulthood, especially because it refers to milk from other species.

Typical Features of Amelogenesis Imperfecta in Two Patients with Bartter's Syndrome.

Background/aims: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is due to many inherited defects of enamel formation that affect the quantity and quality of enamel, leading to delay in tooth eruption and cosmetic consequences. AI has been described in association with nephrocalcinosis, which is called the enamel-renal syndrome. The aim of this case report is to describe typical features of AI in 2 patients with Bartter's syndrome (BS) for the first time.

Application of molecular biology at the approach of Bartter's syndrome: case report.

This paper aims to show the utility of molecular biology for diagnose Bartter syndrome (BS) by the case report of two sisters and to propose a diagram for the molecular approach of this syndrome. The two reported cases presented prematurity, pregnancy complicated with polyhydramnio and low birth weight. During the first year of life, children exhibited polyuria, polydipsia and failure to thrive, leading to the investigation of renal tubular diseases and innate errors of metabolism.

Evolution of the yields and composition of essential oil from Portuguese myrtle (Myrtus comunis L.) through the vegetative cycle.

The chemical composition of the essential oil of Portuguese myrtle was determined at different developmental stages of the plant: pre-flowering, flowering, unripe and ripe berries. The oil was extracted separately by Clevenger distillation from leaves, branches and berries. The yields vary from 0.
