BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) is a common condition affecting 6% of the population. This disorder is characterized by unstable emotions, unstable mood, difficulties with relationship and feer of abandonment. Borderline Personality Disorder is also the psychopathology the most related to suicidal attempts. Indeed, up to 50% of the patients admitted to hospital after a suicide attempt are diagnosis with a Borderline Personality Disorder Negative interpersonal events (events occurring between two people) are known as the main stressor that trigger a suicidal attempt. People with a Borderline Personality Disorder are highly sensitive to it. Moreover, neuropeptides such as oxytocin (OXT), vasopressin and opioid are known to be involved in the regulation of the emotions, especially those linked to relationship. The purpose of this study is to improve knowledge in suicidal behaviors. After simulating an interpersonal stress, the evolution of plasma neuropeptides level (OXT, vasopressin and opioid) of patients with a BPD will be compared to healthy controls (HC). Clinical data reflecting how the participant is feeling will be collected as well.
The creation of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery can have significant effects on the respiratory system including decreased respiratory system compliance, decreased vital capacity and functional residual capacity and atelectasis formation. Intraoperative mechanical ventilation, especially setting of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has an important role in respiratory management during laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study is to determine whether setting of PEEP guided by measurement of pleural pressure would improve oxygenation and respiratory system compliance during laparoscopic surgery.
In early clinical study investigators confirmed that berberine could prevent glucose and lipid metabolism disorder in schizophrenia, so investigators intend to verify the effect and safety of berberine in treatment for metabolic syndrome in schizophrenia.
Mammograms performed at the Diagnostic Imaging Department of the "Instituto Brasileiro de Controle do Câncer" (IBCC - Brazilian Cancer Control Institute) will be prospectively evaluated. Patients who present a solitary dilated duct visualized by mammography will be submitted to breast ultrasonography. In case of detection of lesion, a percutaneous biopsy will be performed.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about encouraging physical activity among first degree female relatives of women with breast cancer. Physical activity can decrease a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, on average, by 20%; however, physical activity interventions have not been developed specifically for first degree female relatives of cancer patients, so currently, it is unknown whether standard physical activity interventions are sufficient for these women or if first degree female relatives would benefit from an enhanced physical activity intervention that addresses information about breast cancer risk reduction. To obtain information about first degree female relatives preferences for a physical activity intervention, this study seeks to have first degree female relatives of breast cancer patients enroll in a standard physical activity intervention developed for healthy men and women. After completion of the three month intervention, the women will be asked to participate in two, one-hour long focus group with 5-7 other participants. The first focus group is to discuss aspects of the physical activity intervention that they liked and did not like, as well as things they think may have enhanced the intervention and made it more relevant to other first-degree relative of breast cancer patients. In the second focus group, participants will be shown enhancements that were developed based on information gathered from the first focus group. Participants will be asked for their feedback on the newly developed enhancements.
Stereotactic directional vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (ST DVAB) is a standard biopsy procedure for suspicious findings on mammograms in Western countries for more than 10 years [1-3], it has replaced the needle localization (NLOC) excisional biopsy for the lesions alike and was reported to feature a high sensitivity, very low delayed false-negative rate (less than 2%)[4,5]. Moreover, it causes less scarring, less psychologic stress to patients and less morbidity compared with needle localization excisional biopsy [6,7]. However, its sensitivity, accuracy has seldom been reported in Asian countries [8] , since most Asian women have different breast parenchyma pattern, different breast cancer prevalence. Therefore, we retrospectively reviewed outcomes of the two groups of patients receiving either ST DVAB or NLOC excisional biopsy, trying to investigate if ST DVAB can be an effective alternative to NLOC excisional biopsy in our country.
Objective: to evaluate if the Neobladder posterior wall suspended with round ligament of uterus could improve neobladder empty after radical cystectomy in female patients with bladder cancer compared to present standard neobladder
The purpose of this study was to compare functional and radiographic results, range of motion of the knee, patient satisfaction, femoral component, revision and complication rates in patients receiving either a standard posterior cruciate substituting-flex (LPS-flex) or gender-specific posterior cruciate substituting-flex (LPS-Flex) total knee prosthesis.
