- Abstract
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adult life. Oropharyngeal dysphagia occurs in 65–90% of patients, and its identification in the acute phase of stroke can prevent complications. The aim of this study was to verify whether oropharyngeal dysphagia during stroke hospitalization is associated with functional capacity, as assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRs), and mortality 90 days after stroke. A prospective cohort study evaluating 201 patients hospitalized in the Stroke Unit was carried out. Dysphagia was evaluated during hospitalization using both a specific protocol to evaluate swallowing biomechanics and the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), in which FOIS 1–3 reflects tube feeding, 4–5 reflects oral feeding requiring food consistency changes, and 6–7 reflects oral feeding with no changes in food consistency. An mRs≥3 at 90 days after discharge was considered disability. The data were adjusted for the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score, sex, age, stroke-associated pneumonia, type of stroke, and presence of thrombolysis. The significance level was set at 5%. Of the 201 patients evaluated, 42.8% (86) who had dysphagia were older, had a higher severity of stroke, and pneumonia rate. A FOIS score of 6–7 was a protective factor against disability (mRs≥3) (OR: 0.17; CI: 0.005–0.56; p = 0.004), and tube feeding use at hospital discharge increased the risk of mRs≥3 (OR: 14.97; CI: 2.68–83.65; p = 0.002) and mortality (OR: 9.79; CI: 2.21–43.4; p = 0.003) within 90 days after stroke. Pneumonia was the leading cause of death, however dysphagia and tube feeding at discharge were associated with death from any cause. Dysphagia or tube feeding use at discharge are markers of poor prognosis after the first stroke. Our data suggest the importance of early evaluation of dysphagia and closely monitoring the tube fed patients following stroke. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Nutritional status may influence outcome after stroke. It is possible that some obese individuals present reduced fat-free mass.Aims: We aimed to determine if bedside evaluation of body composition by the body mass index (BMI), adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) and arm muscle area (AMA), and the combination of low APMT or AMA with obesity are associated with disability 90 days after stroke.Methods: A cohort study evaluating 120 patients hospitalized at the Stroke Unit was carried out. Data were expressed as average ± standard deviation or median and percentiles. Obesity was evaluated by BMI and fat-free mass by the APMT and AMA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to measure whether APMT and obesity were associated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥3 (disability) within 90 days of stroke. The data were adjusted for National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), sex, age, type of stroke, and thrombolysis. The significance level was 5%.Results: Of 120 patients, we came up with the following demographics: men: 66 (55.0%); mean age: 66.6 ± 13.2 years; ischemic stroke: 109 (90.8%); mean NIHSS: 4 (2-10); thrombolysis: 18 (16.5%). Considering mRS ≥3, ROC curve analysis showed that the value of the cutoff for APMT was <12.5 mm. In multivariate analysis adjusted for the above factors, each 1 mm of increase in APTM reduced the chance of disability by 31%. The intersection of obesity with APMT <12.5 mm increased by 37-fold the risk of disability. AMA was not associated with mRS ≥3.Conclusion: Lower APMT alone or in combination with obesity was associated with poor functional status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of serum thiamine, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and serum protein carbonyl concentrations in hospital mortality in patients with septic shock. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included all patients with septic shock on admission or during intensive care unit (ICU) stay, older than 18 years, admitted to 1 of the 3 ICUs of the Botucatu Medical School, from January to August 2012. Demographic information, clinical evaluation, and blood sample were taken within the first 72 hours of the patient's admission or within 72 hours after septic shock diagnosis for serum thiamine, GPx activity, and protein carbonyl determination. Results: One hundred eight consecutive patients were evaluated. The mean age was 57.5 ± 16.0 years, 63% were male, 54.6% died in the ICU, and 71.3% had thiamine deficiency. Thiamine was not associated with oxidative stress. Neither vitamin B1 levels nor the GPx activity was associated with outcomes in these patients. However, protein carbonyl concentration was associated with increased mortality. Conclusions: In patients with septic shock, oxidative stress was associated with mortality. On the other hand, thiamine was not associated with oxidative stress or mortality in these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CARDIAC contraction , *HEART failure , *HEART diseases , *CARDIAC arrest - Abstract
Abstract: Objectives: To analyze the potential contribution of contractility state and ventricular geometry to the development of heart failure in rats with aortic stenosis. Methods: Rats were divided into three groups: compensated aortic stenosis (AS, n =11), heart failure AS (n =12) and control rats (C, n =13). Results: After 21 weeks, failing AS rats presented higher systolic (C=36.6±3.1, AS=78.6±4.8⁎, failing AS=104.6±7.8⁎ †) and diastolic meridian stress (C=6.9±0.4, AS=20.1±1.1⁎, failing AS=43.2±3.2⁎ †), hydroxyproline (C=3.6±0.7 mg/g, AS=6.6±0.6⁎ mg/g, failing AS=9.2±1.4⁎ † mg/g) and cross-sectional area (C=338±25 μm2, AS=451±32⁎ μm2, failing AS=508±36⁎ † μm2), in comparison with control and compensated AS animals (⁎ p <0.05 vs. control, † p <0.05 vs. AS). In the isometric contraction study, considering the time from peak tension to 50% relaxation (RT50), the relative variation responses, following post-rest contraction and increase in Ca2+ concentration, were higher in failing AS than compensated AS animals. In contrast, following post-rest contraction, compensated AS group presented higher values of the peak developed tension (DT) than failing AS group. Following beta-adrenergic stimulation, control animals presented higher values of +dT/dt and −dT/dt than AS animals. In addition, failing AS animals presented higher TPT values than compensated AS animals. Conclusion: Myocardial contractile dysfunction contributes to the development of heart failure in rats with aortic stenosis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Objective: We studied the effects of β-carotene (BC) on ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. Methods: Myocardial infarction was induced in Wistar rats that were then treated with a BC diet (500 mg/kg of diet per day; MI-BC; n = 27) or a regular diet (MI; n = 27). Hearts were analyzed in vivo and in vitro after 6 mo. Results: BC caused decreased left ventricular wall thickness (MI = 1.49 ± 0.3 mm, MI-BC = 1.23 ± 0.2 mm, P = 0.027) and increased diastolic (MI = 0.83 ± 0.15 cm2, MI-BC = 0.98 ± 0.14 cm2, P = 0.020) and systolic (MI = 0.56 ± 0.12 cm2, MI-BC = 0.75 ± 0.13 cm2, P = 0.002) left ventricular chamber areas. With respect to systolic function, the BC group presented less change in fractional area than did controls (MI = 32.35 ± 6.67, MI-BC = 23.77 ± 6.06, P = 0.004). There was no difference in transmitral diastolic flow velocities between groups. In vitro results showed decreased maximal isovolumetric systolic pressure (MI = 125.5 ± 24.1 mmHg, MI-BC = 95.2 ± 28.4 mmHg, P = 0.019) and increased interstitial myocardial collagen concentration (MI = 3.3 ± 1.2%, MI-BC = 5.8 ± 1.7%, P = 0.004) in BC-treated animals. Infarct sizes were similar between groups (MI = 45.0 ± 6.6%, MI-BC = 48.0 ± 5.8%, P = 0.246). Conclusion: Taken together, these data suggest that BC has adverse effects on ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to tobacco smoke (ETS) in rats that were or were not supplemented with dietary β-carotene (BC), on ventricular remodeling and survival after myocardial infarction (Ml). Rats (n = 189) were allocated to 4 groups: the control group, n = 45; group BC administered 500 mg/kg diet, n = 49, BC supplemented rats; group ETS, n = 55, rats exposed to tobacco smoke; and group BC+ ETS, n = 40. Wistar rats weighing 100 g were administered one of the treatments until they weighed 200 to 250 g (∼5 wk). The ETS rats were exposed to cigarette smoke for 30 mm 4 times/d, in a chamber connected to a smoking device. After reaching a weight of 200-250 g, rats were subjected to experimental Ml (coronary artery occlusion) and mortality rates were determined over the next 105 d. In addition, echocardiographic, isolated heart, morphometrical, and biochemical studies were performed. Mortality data were tested using Kaplan-Meyer curves and other data by 2-way ANOVA. Survival rates were greater in the ETS group (58.2%) than in the control (33.3%) (P = 0.001) and BC+ETS rats (30.0%) (P = 0.007). The groups did not differ in the other comparisons. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter normalized to body weight was greater and maximal systolic pressures were lower in the ETS groups than in non-ETS groups. Previous exposure to tobacco smoke induced a process of cardiac remodeling after Ml. There is a paradoxical protector effect with tobacco smoke exposure, characterized by lower mortality, which is offset by BC supplementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MYOCARDIAL infarction , *RIGHT heart ventricle - Abstract
: ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of right ventricular (RV) function in patients after a myocardial infarction (MI).: BackgroundRight ventricular function has been shown to predict exercise capacity, autonomic imbalance and survival in patients with advanced heart failure (HF).: MethodsTwo-dimensional echocardiograms were obtained in 416 patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (ejection fraction [LVEF] ≤40%) from the Survival And Ventricular Enlargement (SAVE) echocardiographic substudy (mean 11.1 ± 3.2 days post infarction). Right ventricular function from the apical four-chamber view, assessed as the percent change in the cavity area from end diastole to end systole (fractional area change [FAC]), was related to clinical outcome.: ResultsRight ventricular function correlated only weakly with the LVEF (r = 0.12, p = 0.013). On univariate analyses, the RV FAC was a predictor of mortality, cardiovascular mortality and HF (p < 0.0001 for all) but not recurrent MI. After adjusting for age, gender, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, previous MI, LVEF, infarct size, cigarette smoking and treatment assignment, RV function remained an independent predictor of total mortality, cardiovascular mortality and HF. Each 5% decrease in the RV FAC was associated with a 16% increased odds of cardiovascular mortality (95% confidence interval 4.3% to 29.2%; p = 0.006).: ConclusionsRight ventricular function is an independent predictor of death and the development of HF in patients with LV dysfunction after MI.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of retinoic acid in experimental postinfarction myocardial remodeling. Wistar rats were subjected to myocardial infarction (MI) and treated with retinoic acid (RA), 0.3 mg/(kg∙d) (MI-RA, n = 29), or fed a control diet (MI, n = 34). After 6 mo, the surviving rats (MI-RA = 18 and MI = 22) underwent echocardiograms, and isolated hearts were tested for function in vitro. The cross-sectional area of the myocyte (CSA) and interstitial collagen fraction (IC) were measured in a cross section of the heart stained by hematoxylin-eosin and picrosirius red, respectively. The CSA was smaller in the MI-RA group [229 (220,234) μm² [medians (lower quartile, upper quartile)] than in the MI group [238 (232,241) μm² (P = 0.01) and IC was smaller in the MI-RA group [2.4(1.7, 3.1)%] than in the MI group [3.5(2.6, 3.9)%] (P = 0.05). The infarct size did not differ between the groups [MI = 44.6 (40.8, 48.4)%, MI-RA = 45 (38.6, 47.2)%]. Maximum rate of rise of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dt) was greater in the MI-RA group (2645 ± 886 mm Hg/s) than in the MI group (2081 ± 617 mm Hg/s) (P = 0.05). The other variables tested did not differ between groups. Retinoic acid supplementation of rats for 6 mo attenuates the ventricular remodeling process after MI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of our study was to evaluate the influence of the superoxide dismutase 1 ( SOD1) polymorphisms on erythrocyte SOD1 activity and the mortality of patients with septic shock. We prospectively evaluated 175 patients aged over 18 years with septic shock upon ICU admission. However, 38 patients were excluded. Thus, 137 patients were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were taken within the first 24 h of the patient's admission to determine erythrocyte SOD1 activity and nine SOD1 gene polymorphisms. The mean patient age was 63 ± 16 years, 58% were men, and ICU mortality rate was 66%. The patients who died were older and more severely ill, with higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, as well as higher lactate, urea, and protein carbonyl levels. In the logistic regression model, erythrocyte SOD1 activity was associated with ICU mortality. This relationship was also maintained in the highest tertile of SOD1 activity (odds ratio [OR]: 0.02; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.00–0.78; p = 0.037). Only SNP rs2070424 of the SOD1 gene influenced erythrocyte SOD1 activity. For patients with the AA allele, the activity of SOD1 was lower in relation to G-carriers (A/G+G/G genotype) (p = 0.019). None of the nine SOD1 SNPs were associated with ICU mortality. In conclusion, the SNP rs2070424 of the SOD1 gene interferes with erythrocyte SOD1 activity, and higher activity of SOD1 was associated with decreased mortality in patients with septic shock.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of tomato or lycopene supplementation on cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). Male Wistar rats were assigned to four groups: the sham group (animals that underwent simulated surgery) that received a standard chow (S; n =18), the infarcted group that received a standard chow (MI; n =13), the infarcted group supplemented with lycopene (1 mg of lycopene/kg body weight/day) (MIL; n =16) and the infarcted group supplemented with tomato (MIT; n =16). After 3 months, morphological, functional and biochemical analyses were performed. The groups MIL and MIT showed decreased interstitial fibrosis induced by infarction. Tomato supplementation attenuated the hypertrophy induced by MI. In addition, tomato and lycopene improved diastolic dysfunction evaluated by echocardiographic and isolated heart studies, respectively. The MI group showed higher levels of cardiac TNF-α compared to the MIL and MIT groups. Decreased nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 was measured in the MIL group. Lipid hydroperoxide levels were higher in the infarcted groups; however, the MIT group had a lower concentration than did the MI group [S=223±20.8, MI=298±19.5, MIL=277±26.6, MIT=261±28.8 (nmol/g); n =8; P <.001]. We also examined left ventricle miRNA expression; when compared to the S group, the MIL group uniquely down-regulated the expression of eight miRNAs. No miRNA was found to be up-regulated uniquely in the MIT and MIL groups. In conclusion, tomato or lycopene supplementation attenuated the cardiac remodeling process and improved diastolic function after MI. However, the effect of lycopene and tomato supplementation occurred through different mechanistic pathways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBESITY in women , *GENE expression , *GREEN tea , *MICRORNA , *OXIDATIVE stress - Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess whether acute green tea (GT) supplementation attenuates inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers induced by high-fat, high-saturated (HFHS) meals in obese women, and to assess its ability to modulate circulating microRNA (miRNA) expression. This was a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. The study included obese women over 18 years old who had no comorbidities. In the first moment, patients were instructed to take 2 capsules of placebo or GT (738 mg) at 10:00 p.m. and to fast overnight. The next morning, a blood sample was collected, and an HFHS meal was offered to the patients. Another blood sample was collected 5 hours after the meal. In the second moment, patients who received placebo in the first moment now received the GT and vice-versa. Serum inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers were measured, and circulating levels of miRNA were evaluated. Fifteen women with mean age of 35.5±9.9 years were included in the final analysis. There was no difference regarding inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. However, patients who consumed GT had lower circulating expression of 62 miRNAs compared with patients who did not consume GT. Predictive analysis of target genes showed 1,757 targets regulated by the 62 miRNAs. Notably, 5 miRNAs (miR-1297, miR-192-5p, miR-373-3p, miR-595 and miR-1266-5p) regulate genes associated with TGF-beta, CARM1, RSK, and BMP pathways. Our study showed that GT inhibited the expression of miRNAs induced by HFHS meal intake. These results shed light on the mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects of GT ingestion.

Background Physical exercise attenuates myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac remodeling. However, it is unsettled whether late exercise modulates post-infarction cardiac remodeling differentially according to infarct size. We investigated the effects of exercise started at late stage heart failure on cardiac remodeling in rats with moderate and large sized MI. Methods Three months after MI, rats were assigned into sedentary and exercise groups. Exercise rats underwent treadmill for three months. After assessing infarct size by histological analysis, rats were subdivided into four groups: moderate MI sedentary (Mod MI-Sed; n = 7), Mod MI exercised (Mod MI-Ex; n = 7), Large MI-Sed (n = 11), and Large MI-Ex (n = 10). Results Before exercise, MI-induced cardiac changes were demonstrated by comparing results to a Sham group; alterations were more intense in rats with large than moderate MI size. Systolic function, evaluated by echocardiogram using the variation in LV fractional area change between after and before exercise, was improved in exercise than sedentary groups. Calsequestrin expression increased in exercised compared to sedentary groups. L-type calcium channel was higher in Mod MI-Ex than Mod MI-Sed. SERCA2a, phospholamban, and Na + /Ca 2 + exchanger expression did not differ between groups. Conclusion Late exercise improves systolic function and modulates intracellular calcium signaling proteins in rats with moderate and large MI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between serum levels of 25(OH) vitamin D3 with midupper arm muscle circumference (MUAMC), handgrip strength and length of hospital stay (LOS) after hip fracture. Methods: In total, 102 consecutive patients with hip fracture over the age of 65 were admitted to the orthopedic unit and prospectively evaluated. All of the patients were treated according to specific protocols depending on the type of fracture. Anthropometric measurements and handgrip strength were performed, and blood samples were taken for serum biochemistry and 25(OH) vitamin D3 analysis within the first 72 h of admission. All of the patients were followed during their hospital stay, and the length of stay was recorded. Results: Of the patients, two were excluded because of pathologic fractures. In total, 100 patients with a mean age of 80 ± 7 y were included in the analysis. Among these patients, 73% were female, and 37% had vitamin D deficiency. The median LOS was 7 (5-11) d. Patients with vitamin D deficiency had lower handgrip strength in univariate analysis. In the multiple linear regression analysis with robust standard error, serum vitamin D levels adjusted by age and sex were associated with handgrip strength but not with MUAMC and LOS after hip fracture. Conclusions: In conclusion, vitamin D serum levels were associated with handgrip strength but not with muscle mass or length of hospital stay after hip fracture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between frailty, evaluated by the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and FRAIL scale, and C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) levels with 3-month mortality following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This was a prospective observational study that included patients over the age of 18 years with STEMI admitted to the coronary intensive care unit. Within 48 h of admission, the CFS and FRAIL scale were applied and blood samples collected for serum CAF evaluation. Patients were followed for 3 months after hospital discharge, and mortality was recorded. One hundred and eleven patients were included; mean age was 62.3 ± 12.4 years, 61.3% were male and 11.7% died during the 3 months of follow-up. According to the CFS, 79.3% of the patients were classified as not frail, 12.6% as pre-frail and 8.1% as frail. According to the FRAIL scale, 31.5% of the patients were classified as not frail, 53.2% as pre-frail and 15.3% as frail. In univariate analysis, the CFS but not FRAIL scale was associated with mortality. In multiple logistic regression analysis, pre-frail/frail according to CFS (odds ratio [OR]: 6.118; CI 95%: 1.344–27.848; p = 0.019) and CAF levels (OR: 0.943; CI 95%: 0.896–0.992; p = 0.024) were associated with increased 3-month mortality. In a sub-analysis of 53 patients ≥65 years, CFS and CAF levels were associated with 3-month mortality. In conclusion, CAF levels and frailty determined by the CFS were associated with 3-month mortality after STEMI in the general and older population. • The relationship of C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) with outcomes after myocardial infarction (STEMI) was not yet evaluated. • CAF levels were not associated with frailty evaluated by Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and FRAIL scale. • CAF levels and frailty were associated with 3-month mortality after STEMI in the general and older population.

Abstract: Background: Currently, 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA) is the most effective therapy for acne. Isotretinoin, a first-generation synthetic 13-cis-RA compound, is associated with numerous adverse effects. To investigate the cardiac effects of 13-cis-RA, acne patients receiving 13-cis-RA were studied. Methods: Twenty male patients with acne were enrolled in the study. Patients were treated with a dose of 0.5mg/kg/d of isotretinoin. All participants were assessed prior to treatment and after 10weeks of therapy with Doppler-echocardiogram. Results: Patients showed reductions in right atrium vertical diameter, left atrium longitudinal diameter, left atrium volume and left ventricular diastolic diameter over the course of treatment. Significant increases in interventricular septum diastolic thickness, posterior wall diastolic thickness, relative wall relative thickness and left ventricle (LV) mass were observed. The LV mass index showed an increase in ventricular mass and a decrease in the cavity size. Examining LV systolic function, a decrease was observed for the cardiac index. Conclusion: In this study, 10weeks of 13-cis-RA therapy at a dose of 0.5mg/kg/d was found to promote concentric-type heart remodeling due to the occurrence of two associated events: heart hypertrophy and hypovolemia.

Objective: The impact of obesity on ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is still poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of waist circumference (WC) and body mass index as predictors of cardiac remodeling in patients after an anterior MI. Methods: Eighty-three consecutive patients with anterior MI were prospectively evaluated. Clinical characteristics and echocardiographic data were analyzed at admission and at a 6-mo follow-up. Ventricular remodeling was defined as a 10% increase in left ventricular end-systolic or end-diastolic diameter at the 6-mo follow-up. Results: In our study, 83 consecutive patients were evaluated (72% men). Ventricular remodeling was present in 31% of the patients (77% men). Patients with remodeling had higher creatine phosphokinase and creatine phosphokinase-MB peak values, a higher resting heart rate, a larger left atrial diameter, and a larger interventricular septum diastolic thickness. In addition, patients with remodeling had lower peak velocity of early ventricular filling deceleration time and ejection fraction. Patients with remodeling presented higher WC values (with remodeling, 99.2 10.4 cm; without remodeling, 93.9 10.8 cm, P = 0.04), but there were no differences in the body mass index values. In the logistic regression analysis, WC, adjusted by age, gender, ejection fraction, and creatine phosphokinase levels, was an independent predictor of left ventricular remodeling (odds ratio 1.067, 95% confidence interval 1.001-1.129, P = 0.02). Conclusion: Waist circumference, but not body mass index, is a predictor of ventricular remodeling after an anterior MI. Therefore, the WC of these patients should be measured in clinical practice.

Abstract: Objective: Pressure ulcer (PU) is a frequent complication of hip fracture. Studies were carried out to identify the risk factors of PU development after hip fractures. The objective of the study was to determine the role of anthropometric measurements and handgrip strength as predictors of PUs in patients with hip fractures during their hospital stay and 30 d after discharge, which has not yet been established. Methods: Ninety-two consecutive patients with hip fractures who were older than 65 y old and admitted to an orthopedic unit were prospectively evaluated. Within the first 72 h of admission, each patient’s characteristics were recorded, anthropometric measurements were taken (circumferences of the arm, waist, thigh, calf, triceps, and biceps and subscapular and suprailiac skinfolds), handgrip strength was measured, and blood samples were collected. PU evaluations were performed during the hospital stay and 30 d after hospital discharge. Results: Three patients were excluded because of PUs before hospitalization. Eighty-nine patients (average age 80.6 ± 7.5 y) were studied; 70.8% were women, and 49.4% developed PUs during their hospital stay. In a univariate analysis, length of hospital stay (P = 0.001) and handgrip strength (P = 0.02), but not body circumferences and skinfolds, were associated with PUs during a hospital stay. Only handgrip strength (P = 0.007) was associated with PUs 30 d after hospital discharge. In a multivariate analysis, only handgrip strength was found to predict PU development at these points. Conclusion: Handgrip strength was found to predict PU development in patients with hip fractures during their hospital stay and 30 d after discharge. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Background: The AIN-93 diet was proposed by the American Institute of Nutrition with the objective of standardising studies in experimental nutrition. Our objective was to analyze the effects of AIN-93 diet after myocardial infarction in rats. Methods: Post weaning, the animals were divided into two groups: control (C, n=62), fed the standard diet of our laboratory (Labina); AIN-93 Group (n=70), fed the AIN-93 diet. Achieving 250g, the animals were subjected to myocardial infarction. Results: Early mortality was increased in AIN-93 animals, associated with lower serum levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and phosphorus. On the other hand, after 90days, AIN-93 showed smaller normalized left ventricular dimensions. The caloric and carbohydrate intake was smaller, but the fat intake was higher in AIN-93 rats. AIN-93 group also showed increased levels of β-hydroxyacylcoenzyme A dehydrogenase and citrate synthase. In addition, serum levels of insulin and cardiac levels of malondialdehyde, metalloproteinases-2 and -9, and TNF-α and IFN-γ were decreased in the AIN-93 group. Conclusion: AIN-93 diet increased early mortality, while attenuated the chronic remodeling process after experimental coronary occlusion. Therefore, this diet has biological effects and should be use with attention in this model. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Objective: The role of retinoic acid in promoting postnatal heart alterations is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the cardiac alterations caused by all-trans- retinoic acid (ATRA) in normal adult rat hearts are physiologic or pathologic and if these alterations are dose-dependent. Methods: Rats were allocated into a control group that received a diet without ATRA (n = 16), a group that received 0.3 mg of ATRA/kg of diet (n = 17), a group that received a diet containing 10 mg of ATRA/kg (n = 18), or a group that received 50 mg of ATRA/kg in the diet (n = 18). After 4 wk, the animals were evaluated echocardiographically, morphologically, and biochemically. Results: The 50-mg ATRA group presented cardiac hypertrophy with maintenance of cardiac geometry and increased systolic function, whereas diastolic function was similar to that of the control group. In addition, progressive increases in the ATRA dose resulted in gradual augmentations of left atrial diameter, left ventricular diastolic and systolic diameters, left ventricular mass index, cardiac output, cardiac index, and aortic velocity. The ATRA did not produce alterations in interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α cardiac levels, interstitial collagen volume fraction, or the intensity and localization of connexin-43. In addition, no alteration was observed in β-hydroxyacyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, or citrate synthase, suggesting that cardiac energetic metabolism was preserved with ATRA. Conclusion: These results suggest that ATRA produced dose-dependent effects and cardiac remodeling that is more compatible with a physiologic response. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

CHAGAS' disease , *AUTONOMIC nervous system diseases , *RIGHT heart ventricle , *HEART ventricles - Abstract
Abstract: Background: The associations between autonomic function and biventricular function in patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas disease remains to be elucidated. Methods: In 42 asymptomatic patients and 19 healthy volunteers, the autonomic function was assessed by time domain indices of heart rate variability (HRV), analyzed for 24 h; the right ventricular function was assessed by fraction area change, right ventricle shortening, and systolic excursion of the tricuspid valve; and the left ventricular function was assessed by ejection fraction and transmitral flow velocities. Data were expressed as mean±SD or medians (including the lower quartile and upper quartile). Groups were compared by Student''s t or Mann-Whitney U test. Autonomic and ventricular function were correlated by Pearson''s or Spearman''s correlation coefficient. The level of significance was 5%. Results: Right and left ventricular systolic function indexes were comparable between groups. Transmitral flow velocities were decreased in the Chagas disease group (p <0.05). The patients presented impaired HRV as indicated by the values of SDNN-day (80 (64–99) ms vs. 98 (78–127) ms; p =0.045), SDNNI-24 h (54 (43–71) vs. 65 (54–105) ms; p =0.027), SDNNI-day (49 (42–64) vs. 67 (48–76) ms; p =0.045), pNN50-day (2.2 (0.7–5)% vs. 10 (3–11)%; p =0.033); and pNN50-24 h (3 (1–7)% vs. 12 (8–19)%; p =0.013). There were no correlations between the left ventricular diastolic indices and autonomic dysfunctional indices (p >0.05). Conclusion: Patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas disease have both dysautonomia and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. However, the right ventricular function is preserved. Importantly, ventricular diastolic dysfunction and dysautonomia are independent phenomena. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
