Cancer during pregnancy is rarely studied due to its low incidence (1:1000). However, as a result of different sociocultural and economic changes, women are postponing pregnancy, so the number of pregnant women with cancer has been increasing in recent years. The importance of studying cancer during pregnancy is not only based on maternal and foetal prognosis, but also on the evolutionary mechanisms of the cell biology of trophoblasts and neoplastic cells, which point out similarities between and suggest new fields for the study of cancer. Moreover, the magnitude of how cancer factors can affect trophoblastic cells, and vice versa, in altering the foetus’s nutrition and health is still a subject to be understood. In this context, the objective of this narrative review was to show that some researchers point out the importance of supplementing branched-chain amino acids, especially leucine, in experimental models of pregnancy associated with women with cancer. A leucine-rich diet may be an interesting strategy to preserve physiological placenta metabolism for protecting the mother and foetus from the harmful effects of cancer during pregnancy.
Sling procedures have been around for decades in the management female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), but only in the past decade they have become the preferred technique. Minimally invasive procedures are the procedure of choice in many centers for your efficacy and low morbidity. The tendinous urethral support (TUS) represents an anatomical approach that consists in placing a midurethral low tension tape anchored to the tendinous arc bilaterally. From February 1999 to October 2000, 25 female patients (mean age: 53 years old), with SUI underwent TUS procedure, and 23 were available for follow-up. Those patients were followed until 72 months. After six months, 20 (87%) patients were dry, 2 (8.7%) improved and 1 (4.3%) incontinent. However, at the last evaluation, 15 (65.2%) investigation.
O ensino de fisiologia do crescimento e desenvolvimento humano visa avaliar aspectos da reprodução e crescimento humano, enfocando o planejamento da concepção, gravidez, infância, adolescência, fase adulta e senilidade, focando o entendimento dos mecanismos específicos pela regulação e controle dos sistemas e órgãos, principalmente o sistema endócrino, responsáveis por coordenação e ajustes que permitem a viabilidade do organismo. O curso é composto de aulas teóricas e aplicação/execução de aulas praticas. As aulas praticas correspondentes às aulas teóricas foram elaboradas pelos grupos de alunos matriculados na disciplina BF590 - Fisiologia Humana do Crescimento e Desenvolvimento. Assim, o proposto foi instigar a curiosidade e a imaginação dos alunos, com a iniciativa de uso de métodos alternativos diversos, com o intuito de não utilização de animais, para que os mesmos propusessem aulas práticas que correspondessem ao tema de aula ministrado e a efetivação das mesmas pelos próprios alunos com a supervisão do professor.
Los procedimientos tipo sling han sido utilizados por décadas para el manejo de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE) femenina, pero sólo en la década pasada han llegado a ser la técnica de elección. Los procedimientos mínimamente invasivos son el procedimiento de elección en algunos centros por su eficacia y baja morbilidad. El soporte uretral tendinoso (TUS) representa un enfoque anatómico que consiste en colocar una cincha de baja tensión a nivel de la uretra media, anclada al arco tendíneo de manera bilateral. De febrero 1999 a octubre 2000, 25 pacientes femeninas con IUE y con una edad media de 53 años fueron intervenidas mediante TUS. De ellas, 23 pudieron evaluarse a largo plazo con un seguimiento un máximo 72 meses. Después de 6 meses, 20 pacientes (87%) se encontraban secas, 2 (8,7%) mejoraron y 1 (4,3%) era incontinente. Sin embargo, al final del seguimiento, 15 pacientes estaban continentes (65,2%), 3 (13%) mejoraron y 5 (21%) seguían incontinentes. Por lo que, el TUS es un concepto que merece investigaciones adicionales. Palabras clave: Incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo. Sling mínimamente invasivo. Soporte uretral tendinoso. Submucosa de intestino delgado.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
