1. Use of Virtual Injection Technology for Planning and Guidance of Prostate Artery Embolization

   CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY, v.45, n.6, p.884-887, 2022

2. Thiol-Based Antioxidants and the Epithelial/Mesenchymal Transition in Cancer

   ANTIOXIDANTS & REDOX SIGNALING, v.36, n.13, p.1037-1050, 2022

   Significance: The epithelial/mesenchymal transition (EMT) is commonly associated with tumor metastasis. Oxidative and nitrosative stress is maintained in cancer cells and is involved in the EMT. Cancer cells are endowed with high levels of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants, which counteract...

3. Risk Stratification in Cancer Patients with Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Comparison of Glasgow-Blatchford, Rockall and AIMS65, and Development of a New Scoring System

   CLINICAL ENDOSCOPY, v.55, n.2, p.240-247, 2022

   Background/Aims: Few studies have measured the accuracy of prognostic scores for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) among cancer patients. Thereby, we compared the prognostic scores for predicting major outcomes in cancer patients with UGIB. Secondarily, we developed a new model to detect pat...

4. Moderate hypofractionation for salvage radiotherapy (HYPO-SRT) in patients with biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy: A cohort study with meta-analysis

   RADIOTHERAPY AND ONCOLOGY, v.171, p.7-13, 2022

   Objectives: To assess the effectiveness and safety of HYPO-SRT in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, we performed a cohort study followed by meta-analysis (MA).& nbsp;Methods: A cohort study followed by a MA was designed to evaluate the biochemical relapse-free surv...

5. Evaluating the efficacy of hearing aids for tinnitus therapy - A Positron emission tomography study

   BRAIN RESEARCH, v.1775, article ID 147728, 9p, 2022

   Brain imaging studies have revealed neural changes in chronic tinnitus patients that are not restricted to auditory brain areas; rather, the engagement of limbic system structures, attention and memory networks are has been noted. Hearing aids (HA) provide compensation for comorbid hearing loss a...

6. Malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity and oropharynx treated in Brazil: what do the hospital cancer registries reveal?

   BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY, v.88, n.2, p.168-173, 2022

   Introduction: Head and neck cancer has an impact on the global burden of diseases, representing an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil, as well as worldwide. Objective: To learn and describe the clinical, epidemiological and care configuration provided to patients with cancer of ...

7. Prognostic value of integrin alpha V expression and localization pattern in invasive breast carcinomas

   NEOPLASIA, v.30, 2022

   Invasion of surrounding stroma is an early event in breast cancer metastatic progression, and involves loss of cell polarity, loss of myoepithelial layer, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins are transmembrane receptors responsible fo...

8. Stress and substance abuse among workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in an intensive care unit: A cross-sectional study

   PLOS ONE, v.17, n.2, article ID e0263892, 10p, 2022

   Objective Professionals working in intensive care units (ICUs) during the COVID-19 pandemic have been exposed to stressful situations and increased workload. The association between symptoms of traumatic stress disorders, substance abuse and personal/occupational characteristics of Brazilian COVI...

9. Leiomyoma and Leiomyosarcoma (Primary and Metastatic) of the Oral and Maxillofacial Region: A Clinicopathological and Immunohistochemical Study of 27 Cases

   HEAD & NECK PATHOLOGY, v.16, n.1, Special Issue, p.294-303, 2022

   Smooth muscle neoplasms represent an important group of lesions which is rare in the oral cavity. Leiomyoma (LM) is benign smooth muscle/pericytic tumor usually presenting as non-aggressive neoplasm, while leiomyosarcoma (LMS) represents its malignant counterpart. The rarity of these lesions, tog...

10. The effect of microwave-assisted heating on bioactive and immunological compounds in donor human milk

    LWT-FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, v.161, article ID 113306, 7p, 2022

    Low-Temperature Long-Time pasteurization (LTLT) is normally applied in donor human milk from Human Milk Banks (HMBs) to guarantee microbiological safety; however, this treatment can modify the protein structures, decreasing their beneficial effects. Thus, this study aimed to determine the impact ...
