- Hypertension in the Developing World(2023) KOCH, V. H.Hypertension is a major global chronic noncommunicable disease (NCD). Despite continued efforts to establish public policies to ensure surveillance and monitoring, the absolute numbers of patients affected by hypertension in low- and middle-income countries are likely to grow, as economic improvement favors longer life expectancy. Increasing longevity provides longer periods of exposure to the risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), resulting in a greater probability of clinical manifestation of CVD events, especially because of the lack of awareness and insufficient treatment of the affected individuals. The survivors of an economic transition period are more likely to present the phenotype of lower birth weight coupled with either stunting or a higher body mass index in childhood or adulthood, which appears to be associated with the highest risks of morbid cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic outcomes into adulthood. The combination of population-wide and individual interventions may save millions of lives and considerably reduce human suffering from NCDs. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
- Medicine of Giant Armadillos (Priodontes maximus)(2022) KLUYBER, D.; DESBIEZ, A. L. J.The giant armadillo is vulnerable to extinction and this solitary, rare, nocturnal species can locally disappear without people even knowing it exists. Anthropogenic impacts such as habitat loss, deforestation, fire, and roadkill are the main threats for this species. Recently, wildlife diseases have been identified as an important threat. In the 21st century, the world´s biggest still lacks basic scientific knowledge on its natural history, biology, and health. Giant armadillos occur at low density, and are rarely seen in the wild, and are very challenging to study. Additionally, there are few individuals in zoos, and little is known about the husbandry and nutritional needs for this species in captivity. Most of the information presented in this chapter is the results from a few studies on ecology and medicine, of wild giant armadillos in Brazil and Colombia. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
- Hypertension and cardiovascular disease in developing countries(2013) KOCH, V. H.Hypertension is a major global chronic noncommunicable disease (NCD). One-quarter of the world's adult population has hypertension, and this is likely to increase to 29 % by 2025. Due to epidemiologic shifts, the absolute numbers of patients affected by hypertension in low- and middleincome countries are likely to grow, as increased globalization and economic improvement lead to urbanization and longer life expectancy. Increasing longevity provides longer periods of exposure to the risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), resulting in a greater probability of clinically manifest CVD events. Compounding this high burden of hypertension is a lack of awareness and insufficient treatment in those with hypertension. The survivors of an economic transition period are more likely to present the phenotype of lower birth weight coupled with either stunting or a higher body mass index in childhood or adulthood which appears to be associated with the highest risks of morbid cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic outcomes into adulthood. The combination of population-wide and individual interventions may save millions of lives and considerably reduce human suffering from NCDs. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013.

- Pediatric icu and nutritional assessments(2015) FEFERBAUM, R.; ZAMBERLAN, P.The nutritional assessment of children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is unique in view of the metabolic changes of the underlying disease. The presence of inflammatory activity leads to body composition changes (lean mass reduction) and undernutrition.Nutritional assessment is one of the main aspects of the pediatric intensive care patient and is the most important tool to avoid hospital undernutrition. It must prioritize anthropometric and laboratory markers that can differentiate body composition to detect specific macronutrient and micronutrient deficiencies and assessment of the inflammatory activity.There is currently no gold standard for nutritional assessment in the PICU. The results of anthropometric and laboratory markers must be jointly analyzed but individually interpreted according to disease and metabolic changes, in order to reach a correct diagnosis of the nutritional status and to plan and monitor the nutritional treatment. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015.
bookPart 0 Citação(ões) na Scopus Neurosurgical topics and sleep apnea(2015) OLIVEIRA, M. F. de; NORREMOSE, K. A.; PINTO, F. C. G.Sleep apnea, characterized by repetitive cessation of breathing during sleep, has been reported to be prevalent in up to 30% of the general population and may be of obstructive or central origin. It has usually multifactorial causes and affects multiple organic systems like cardiovascular, sleep quality, metabolic balance, glucose and cholesterol levels, arterial hypertension and thus increasing cardiopulmonary and vascular morbidity. Such complexity is generally assessed by several professionals, like clinical physicians, cardiologists, nutritionists, physical therapists, otorhinolaryngologists, pneumologists, endocrinologists and neurologists. Nevertheless, increasing evidence points to the association of neurosurgical pathologies with sleep apnea, with potential reversibility after proper treatment. In this scenario, we expose and discuss current evidence of neurosurgical conditions and their role in the genesis and progression of sleep apnea. Additionally, we emphasize the adequate treatment and future perspectives. © 2015 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
