Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity and a long evolution over time, determined by periods of psychotic exacerbation and phases of stabilization. The semiology of this nosological entity is
The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents has risen dramatically from 4% to 18% in 40 years.
Cause of obesity is gene-environment interactions. Recent evidence suggests that the gut microbiota is involved in
Although anal canal squamous cell carcinoma (ACSCC) is rare in developed countries, it has shown an annual increase of 4% in its incidence in Brazil, and according to data from the Oncocenter Foundation of São Paulo (FOSP), 2,338 cases were diagnosed in 2000 and 2016.
The standard treatment for
Objective:
The aim of the present study is to evaluate and to compare the effect of a nutritional supplement of probiotics and/or prebiotics on serum concentrations of uremic toxins and inflammatory markers compared to placebo, in automated peritoneal dialysis patients.
Sample size:
For the sample
The measurement of RFR will be performed by dynamic testing of the changes in baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) induced by an oral protein load. Sinistrin (a polyfructosan with identical clearance characteristics to inulin) will be used to measure GFR.
The gastrointestinal tract is populated by a collection of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, that interact with intestinal host cells. In the past two decades, several studies have demonstrated the effects of the intestinal microbiota on host physiological, metabolic and immunological processes
Serum creatinine does not accurately measure kidney function in patients with mild renal insufficiency or in certain other patient populations (for example, individuals with malnutrition, muscle wasting, cancer, or the elderly) [8, 9]. The serum creatinine level and related estimating equations,
The number of people aged 65 years and over is expected to rise by over 60% in the next 25 years, which presents an enormous challenge for the healthcare system. Ageing dramatically affects immune function; this phenomenon is known as immunosenescence and partly explains the increased susceptibility
