Conclusion: Clinical presentations of UN are broad and non-specific; nonetheless, it is important to detect early changes in order to avoid its progression. The earlier UN is diagnosed and treated, the more successful are the clinical outcomes.RESUMO INTRODU ÇÃO: A neuropatia periférica (NU) é um distúrbio que afeta o corpo celular, o axônio ou a mielina do motor ou neurônios sensoriais periféricos e ocorre em 60%-100% dos pacientes que são submetidos à diálise por doença renal crônica.

Advances in medical technology and new digital educational platforms
This study was carried out from the review of the scientific literature in PubMed and SciELO databases. Complete exclusion of conventional dairy products is not necessary since most individuals with LI can tolerate up to 12 grams of lactose daily in a single dose. Yogurts and cheeses matured for having low amounts of lactose are part of the strategy that allows consumption of dairy products by patients with LI. Currently, there is a diversity of products considered as “ milk substitutes ” and supplements aimed at individuals with LI. However, these strategies still require better-designed studies.RESUMO Os indiv íduo...

Use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetes patients: a systematic review
SUMMARY Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are drugs that act by maintaining glycosuria. Recent studies have shown promising effects of these in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). However, there may be an increased risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in patients treated with these. Our study aims to analyze the association between the risk of UTI in patients treated with SGLT2i. A systematic review of the literature was carried out by randomized clinical trials, totalizing at the end of the selection 23 articles that were statistically evaluated. The incidence of UTI was general...

The importance of the early diagnosis of aorta coarctation
CONCLUSION: Coarctation of the aorta is, therefore, a cardiac malformation of significant importance due to its incidence and its significant mortality risk. In this sense, the early diagnosis stands out as an essential piece for better prognosis of the patient.RESUMO INTRODU ÇÃO: A coarctação da aorta é uma cardiopatia congênita caracterizada por um estreitamento que ocorre na artéria aorta. Essa constrição pode ocorrer em qualquer local ao longo de toda a sua extensão, entretanto, é mais comum entre a origem da artéria subclávia esquerda e o ducto arterios o. Sua incidência corresponde a três casos a cada...

Unison of movements in football players with different nervous systems
In this study, we investigated the effect of typological features of nervous system properties on the ability to unite the movements of young football players. A total of 36 young football players aged 11-12 years participated in this experiment. Of them, 18 were engaged in an experimental differentiated method, which is based on using the same exercise and methods for developing the ability to unite movements but with different load components; for players with a strong nervous system (9 children), the load was intensive, but for players with a weak nervous system (9 children) - the load was volumetric. The other 18 athle...
