1. Avaliação vocal de pacientes portadores de obesidade mórbida candidatos à cirurgia bariátrica / Voice characterization in individuals suffering from morbid obesity
Obesity is an endemic illness whose estimated prevalence, from 1989 to 1994, was 40% amongst North American people and 20% amongst Brazilian people. It is a disease that causes several health problems on a biopsychosocial basis. Amongst these consequences of obesity, the voice characteristics of affected people is a target of discussion and analysis. The pur

3. Aprender com o corpo: estabelecendo relações entre a psicologia analítica e as técnicas corporais taoístas / Learning with the body: establishing relations between analytical psychology and taoist body techniques
The present research consists of a theoretical study that intends to relate the principles which guide the body techniques based on taoist philosophy to some concepts of the analytical psychology. As a main point, it is centered on the process of the personality development. In order to systematize the subject through the analysis of some topics, a bibliogra

4. "Desenvolvimento e utilização de jogo educativo sobre a prevenção de doenças respiratórias no seguimento de crianças menores de cinco anos para a capacitação dos agentes comunitários de saúde" / Developing and use of educational game on the illness breathing prevencion the babies under five years old following up to Healthy Communal Agents capacitation.
No Brasil, as doenças respiratórias infantis são importantes causas de morbi-mortalidade das crianças menores de cinco anos. Considerando o enfrentamento dessa realidade no âmbito da atenção primária à saúde, o Programa de Saúde da Família traz um novo trabalhador de saúde, representado pelo Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS), com suas necessid

5. Reaction of squirrel monkeys to intratracheal inoculation with influenza/A/New Jersey/76 (swine) virus.
To determine whether a model could be established for laboratory investigations, nine squirrel monkeys were inoculated intratracheally with 10(7) median egg-infectious doses of influenza virus type A/New Jersey/8/76 (HSW1N1) (swine influenza virus). They responded with clinically detectable illness including fever, leukopenia, decreased food consumption, inc

6. Effects of a patent foramen ovale on arterial saturation during exercise and on cardiovascular responses to deep breathing, Valsalva manoeuvre, and passive tilt: relation to history of decompression illness in divers.
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether the presence of a patent foramen ovale could result in significant arterial desaturation and affect the responses of heart rate and blood pressure to physiological manoeuvres and to determine whether responses differed between those with and those without prior clinical events associated with a patent foramen ovale. DESIGN--Bl

7. The riddle of hyperlactatemia
A recent observational study in a large cohort of critically ill patients confirms the association between hyperlactatemia and mortality. The mechanisms regulating the rates of lactate production and clearance in critical illness remain poorly understood. During exercise, hyperlactatemia clearly results from an imbalance between oxygen delivery and energy re

8. Sleep apnoea in patients with quadriplegia.
BACKGROUND--This study was undertaken to establish the prevalence of, and the factors contributing towards, sleep disordered breathing in patients with quadriplegia. METHODS--Forty representative quadriplegic patients (time since injury > 6 months, injury level C8 and above, Frankel category A, B, or C; mean (SE) age 35.0 (1.7) years) had home sleep studies

9. Tidal breathing parameters in the first week of life and subsequent cough and wheeze.
BACKGROUND: Assessment of tidal breathing parameters may be a useful method of predicting respiratory problems in early childhood. Low values of TPTEF/TE (the ratio of the proportion of time to reach peak tidal expiratory flow to total expiratory time) outside the neonatal period have been significantly related to respiratory tract illness with wheezing in b

10. Postpolio syndrome and cardiopulmonary conditioning.
Postpolio syndrome is a group of related signs and symptoms occurring in people who had paralytic poliomyelitis years earlier. New weakness, fatigue, poor endurance, pain, reduced mobility, increased breathing difficulty, intolerance to cold, and sleep disturbance in various degrees and expressions make up the syndrome. The reported incidence is between 25%

11. Disturbance in respiratory mechanics in infants with bronchiolitis.
The passive flow-volume and partial forced expiratory flow-volume techniques were used to assess pulmonary function in 14 spontaneously breathing infants with acute respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. Two additional infants were studied while paralysed and ventilated. During the acute stage of the illness there was a significant reduction in forced ex

12. Control of breathing in patients with limb girdle dystrophy: a controlled study.
BACKGROUND--In patients with limb girdle dystrophy the relative contribution of peripheral factors (respiratory muscle weakness, and lung and/or airway involvement) and central factors (blunted and/or inadequate chemoresponsiveness) in respiratory insufficiency has not yet been established. To resolve this, lung volumes, arterial blood gas tensions, respirat
