    • Dengue: muscle biopsy findings in 15 patients 

      Malheiros, Suzana Maria Fleury [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Acary Souza Bulle [UNIFESP]; Schmidt, Beny [UNIFESP]; Lima, J.g. Camargo [UNIFESP]; Gabbai, Alberto Alain [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 1993-06-01)
      Dengue is known to produce a syndrome involving muscles, tendons and joints. The hallmark of this syndrome is severe myalgia but includes fever, cutaneous rash, and headache. The neuromuscular aspects of this infection are ...

    • Effects of respiratory muscle unloading on leg muscle oxygenation and blood volume during high-intensity exercise in chronic heart failure 

      Borghi-Silva, Audrey [UNIFESP]; Carrascosa, Claudia [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro [UNIFESP]; Barroco, Adriano C. [UNIFESP]; Berton, Danilo C. [UNIFESP]; Vilaca, Debora [UNIFESP]; Lira-Filho, Edgar B. [UNIFESP]; Ribeiro, Dirceu [UNIFESP]; Nery, Luiz Eduardo [UNIFESP]; Neder, J. Alberto [UNIFESP] (Amer Physiological Soc, 2008-06-01)
      Blood flow requirements of the respiratory muscles (RM) increase markedly during exercise in chronic heart failure (CHF). We reasoned that if the RM could subtract a fraction of the limited cardiac output (QT) from the ...

    • Estudo da fibrose no músculo esquelético mediada por receptores de angiotensina e tratamento do músculo lesionado por prp e terapia gênica 

      Stilhano, Roberta Sessa [UNIFESP] (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2015-12-17)
      process, which frequently occurs in cases of deeper muscle injury, leads to imperfect tissue regeneration. The current therapies have a low efficacy for prevention or treatment of the complications caused by fibrosis, such ...

    • Progressive myopathy with a combined respiratory chain defect including Complex II 

      Rodrigues, Andresa De Santi [UNIFESP]; Kiyomoto, Beatriz Hitomi [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Acary Souza Bulle [UNIFESP]; Gabbai, Alberto Alain [UNIFESP]; Schmidt, Beny [UNIFESP]; Tengan, Celia Harumi [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2008-01-15)
      Biochemical defects in the respiratory chain are mostly associated with deficiencies in Complexes I, III and IV, caused by nuclear or mitochondrial DNA mutations. Combined defects including Complex II have been reported ...

    • Scaling skeletal muscle function to mass in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD 

      Malaguti, Carla; Nery, Luiz E.; Dal Corso, Simone; Napolis, Lara; De Fuccio, Marcelo Bicalho; Lazaretti-Castro, Marise [UNIFESP]; Neder, José Alberto [UNIFESP] (Springer, 2006-11-01)
      Skeletal muscle performance and muscle mass are commonly reduced in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is currently unclear, however, whether negative changes in muscle structure and ...

    • Ultrastructural features of the myotendinous junction of the sternomastoid muscle in Wistar rats: From newborn to aging 

      Ciena, Adriano Polican; Yokomizo de Almeida, Sonia Regina; Bolina, Cristina de Sousa; Bolina-Matos, Regina de Sousa; Grassi Rici, Rose Eli; Pereira Da Silva, Marcelo Cavenaghi [UNIFESP]; Miglino, Maria Angelica; Watanabe, Ii-Sei (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-09-01)
      The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a major area for transmitting force from the skeletal muscle system and acts in joint position and stabilization. This study aimed to use transmission electron microscopy to describe the ...
