The Brazilian version of the High-Activity Arthroplasty Score: cross-cultural adaptation.

Background: The High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) is a self-administered questionnaire, developed in British English, that reliably and validly measures the levels of sports activities in patients following hip and knee arthroplasty surgery.

Objective: To cross-culturally adapt the HAAS to Brazilian Portuguese language.

Design And Setting: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a public university hospital in Brazil.

Validation of the Brazilian version of the Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) for patients with femoroacetabular impingement: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) is a hip-specific instrument for assessing the present levels of physical activity among patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. When evaluating treatment outcomes in patients with FAI syndrome, it is necessary to use joint-specific instruments and ones that can evaluate the levels of physical activity in these patients, such as the HSAS-Brazil.

Objective: To validate the HSAS-Brazil among a group of physically active patients after arthroscopic treatment of FAI syndrome.

The Brazilian version of the Hip Sports Activity Scale: translation and cross-cultural adaptation.

Background: The Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) is a reliable and valid tool for determining the levels of sports activities among patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the HSAS to the Brazilian Portuguese language.

Design And Setting: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the State University of Rio de Janeiro.

Validation of the Brazilian version of the Hip Outcome Score (HOS) questionnaire.

Background: The Hip Outcome Score (HOS) was developed to evaluate physically active patients with hip disease but without severe degenerative change. A translation and cultural adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese was previously conducted. The aim of this study was to validate the Brazilian version of the HOS (HOS-Brazil) among a group of physically active patients with a diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) or greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS).

Preventive and therapeutic moderate aerobic exercise programs convert atherosclerotic plaques into a more stable phenotype.

Unlabelled: The mechanisms by which exercise affects atherosclerotic plaque stability remain incompletely understood. We evaluated the effects of two training protocols on both atherosclerotic plaque structure and the signaling pathways involved in plaque rupture.

Methods: Male low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor knockout mice were fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet (HFD).

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian version of the Nonarthritic Hip Score.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE The Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) is a clinical evaluation questionnaire that was developed in the English language to evaluate hip function in young and physically active patients. The aims of this study were to translate this questionnaire into the Brazilian Portuguese language, to adapt it to Brazilian culture and to validate it. DESIGN AND SETTING Cohort study conducted between 2008 and 2010, at Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).

Urogenital anomalies in human male fetuses.

Background: There are few studies in the literature performed in human fetuses evaluating the incidence of genitourinary anomalies.

Aims: Analyze the incidence of congenital urogenital malformations in human male fetuses. STUDY DESIGNS AND SUBJECTS: We analyzed 166 human male fetuses well preserved.
