1. The use of the Modified Early Obstetric Warning System (MEOWS) in women after pregnancies: a descriptive study
Resumo Objetivos: avaliar o modified early obstetric warning system (MEOWS) em mulheres após gestações, em um hospital terciário do Brasil. Métodos: foi realizado um estudo descritivo incluindo 705 mulheres internadas. Os sinais vitais (pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, temperatura) e lóquio

2. Chronic diseases and health problems in adolescents from Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil / Doenças crônicas e problemas de saúde em adolescentes do município de Campinas
The concept that adolescents are rarely ill and the habit of regarding any health problem they have, whether physical or mental, as normal or typical of that period of life, have limited the health care for them and, in consequence, research in that field. The control of childhood infectious diseases, respiratory system disorders, longer lifespan for extreme

3. AcurÃcia de indicadores clÃnicos do diagnÃstico de Enfermagem âDesobstruÃÃo ineficaz das vias aÃreasâ em pacientes no perÃodo pÃs-operatÃrio de cirurgias cardÃacas. / ACCURACY OF CLINICAL INDICATORS OF THE NURSING DIAGNOSIS âINEFFECTIVE AIRWAY CLEARANCEâ IN PATIENTS IN POST-OPERATIVE PERIOD OF CARDIAC SURGERIES
The use of good clinical indicators contributes to the assignment of nursing diagnoses making the care plan more effective. Accuracy determines the direct relationship between defining characteristics and the presence or absence of a specific nursing diagnose. The need for research focused on diagnosesâ accuracy motivated the development of this study, whos

4. Pulmonary function, cholinergic bronchomotor tone, and cardiac autonomic abnormalities in type 2 diabetic patients
This prospective study analyzed the involvement of the autonomic nervous system in pulmonary and cardiac function by evaluating cardiovascular reflex and its correlation with pulmonary function abnormalities of type 2 diabetic patients. Diabetic patients (N = 17) and healthy subjects (N = 17) were evaluated by 1) pulmonary function tests including spirometry

5. Recurrent chest infections, ciliary abnormalities and partial complement deficiency in a Jordanian family.
Four girls born to second cousin parents developed chronic chest infection and bronchiectasis in infancy. Three were studied in detail: they all had the same HLA haplotype, all showed random orientation of cilia or compound cilia in the respiratory tract, and all had low levels of the C1 and C2 components of the complement system. Although the cause of the r

6. Idiopathic scoliosis. Gas exchange and the age dependence of arterial blood gases.
The aims were to examine the gas exchange and arterial blood gas abnormalities among patients with scoliosis, and the correlation of these abnormalities with age and severity of deformity. Means among 51 patients were as follows: age 25.4 +/- 17.5 yr, angle of scoliosis 80.2 +/- 29.9 (SD), vital capacity 1.94 +/- 0.91 (SD) (i.e. 60.6 +/- 19.2% of predicted),

7. Abnormalities of lung mechanics in young asthmatic children.
Measurements of total compliance of the respiratory system by the weighted spirometer technique and of the functional residual capacity by helium gas dilution were attempted in 86 asthmatic children aged 2.2-7.9 years. In all but six of the 86 children reliable measurements could be obtained. Significantly raised functional residual capacity was detected in

8. Pulmonary complications of smoked substance abuse.
After tobacco, marijuana is the most widely smoked substance in our society. Studies conducted within the past 15 years in animals, isolated tissues, and humans indicate that marijuana smoke can injure the lungs. Habitual smoking of marijuana has been shown to be associated with chronic respiratory tract symptoms, an increased frequency of acute bronchitic e

9. Differential lung function in an infant with the Swyer-James syndrome.
A previously healthy two year old boy had an adenoviral infection at the age of 13 months and developed hyperlucency of the left lung, chronic respiratory distress, and failure to thrive. Bronchodilators and steroid treatment had no effect. Radionuclide lung scans using an intravenous bolus of xenon-133 both before and after treatment showed substantially re

10. Physiologic manifestations of human anaphylaxis.
In the course of a controlled study to evaluate different forms of immunotherapy for subjects with insect-sting hypersensitivity, we observed 11 subjects who had systemic cutaneous urticarial reactions and 3 subjects who experienced systemic anaphylaxis. With the exception of tachycardia, there were no cardiopulmonary changes in the subjects with urticaria,

11. A myocardin-related transcription factor regulates activity of serum response factor in Drosophila
Serum response factor (SRF) regulates genes involved in cell proliferation, migration, cytoskeletal organization, and myogenesis. Myocardin and myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) act as powerful transcriptional coactivators of SRF in mammalian cells. We describe an MRTF from Drosophila, called DMRTF, which shares high homology with the functiona

12. Assembly of the mitochondrial membrane system: isolation of nuclear and cytoplasmic mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with specific defects in mitochondrial functions.
A selection procedure is described which permits a large number of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants to be screened for specific lesions in mitochondrial respiratory enzymes and the adenosine triphosphatase. The method has been used to isolate nuclear mutant strains with specific lesions in coenzyme QH2-cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome oxidase, and adenosin
