Rev Bras Ter Intensiva
November 2021
Disciplina de Anestesiologia, Dor e Terapia Intensiva, Universidade Federal de São Paulo - São Paulo (SP), Brasil.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined fluid resuscitation practices in Brazilian intensive care units and compared them to those in 27 other countries as part of the Fluid-TRIPS project.
- On the study day, a significantly lower percentage of patients in Brazil (16.1%) received fluids compared to patients in other countries (26.8%), with a higher emphasis on crystalloids, particularly sodium chloride (0.9%).
- Factors influencing fluid choice included patient serum albumin levels and the type of healthcare provider prescribing the fluids.
Purpose: To reduce false-negative rates (FNR) in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) of clinically positive (cN+) axilla in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The removal of three or more lymph nodes with dual-tracer mapping including a radioisotope was used. However, in the Brazilian Unified Health System, the radioisotope tracer is not feasible in some hospitals.

Breast Cancer Res Treat
October 2020
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- In Brazil, cancer registries are lacking, leading to insufficient data about breast cancer patients' characteristics and outcomes, which prompted the AMAZONA III study to better understand these factors.
- The study included 2,950 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between January 2016 and March 2018, examining their health insurance type and disease stage at diagnosis.
- Results showed that publicly insured patients typically had later-stage cancer and were more frequently diagnosed through symptoms, while privately insured patients were more likely to have earlier-stage disease and were often diagnosed through screening.

Acadêmica de Medicina, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas, IUNI, Cuiabá, MT, Brasil.
Objective: The elderly constitute a population with their own features and frequent admissions in intensive care units. This study has the objective to evaluate the ability to predict the survival of these patients through the APACHE II, UNICAMP II, SAPS II and SAPS 3 indexes, global and Central America/South equations.
Methods: Elderly patients admitted from 01/01/2006 to 12/3/2006, defined as age > 60 years, were included in this study.
Jejunal perforation caused by abdominal angiostrongyliasis.
Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo
May 2000
Department of Surgery, Hospital Jardim, Santo André, SP, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The case details an unusual instance of abdominal angiostrongyliasis in an adult, marked by acute pain due to jejunal perforation, whereas this condition typically affects other parts of the intestine.
- The disease is caused by the nematode Angiostrongylus costaricensis, which is transmitted to humans through ingestion of contaminated snail or slug secretions, making it an accidental infection.
- Symptoms include prolonged fever, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and increased eosinophils in blood, and while it usually resolves benignly, complications like intestinal obstruction or perforation may necessitate surgery, and there are currently no effective medications for treatment.
