2. Parameter estimation of an artificial respiratory system under mechanical ventilation following a noisy regime

   RESEARCH ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, v.31, n.4, p.343-351, 2015

   Abstract Introduction: This work concerns the assessment of a novel system for mechanical ventilation and a parameter estimation method in a bench test. The tested system was based on a commercial mechanical ventilator and a personal computer. A computational routine was developed do drive the me...

3. Inclisiran, ARN interferente pequeño: un nuevo enfoque para el tratamiento del colesterol

   REVISTA COLOMBIANA DE CARDIOLOGíA, v.29, n.6, p.663-675, 2022

   Abstract: Hyperlipidemia is a highly prevalent condition and contributes substantially to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Colombia. The reduction of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) decreases the risk of ASCVD and adverse cardio...

4. Mortality over time among COVID-19 patients hospitalized during the first surge of the pandemic: A large cohort study

   PLOS ONE, v.17, n.9, article ID e0275212, 12p, 2022

   BackgroundCapacity strain negatively impacts patient outcome, and the effects of patient surge are a continuous threat during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evaluating changes in mortality over time enables evidence-based resource planning, thus improving patient outcome. Our aim was to describe baseline...

5. Genome-wide association study for Chagas Cardiomyopathy identify a new risk locus on chromosome 18 associated with an immune-related protein and transcriptional signature

   PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, v.16, n.10, article ID e0010725, 20p, 2022

   Background Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) usually develops between 10 and 20 years after the first parasitic infection and is one of the leading causes of end-stage heart failure in Latin America. Despite the great inter-individual variability in CCC susceptibility (only 30% of infected indi...

6. Proteomics of high-density lipoprotein subfractions and subclinical atherosclerosis in type 1 diabetes mellitus: a case-control study

   DIABETOLOGY & METABOLIC SYNDROME, v.15, n.1, article ID 42, 14p, 2023

   BackgroundSubclinical atherosclerosis is frequently observed in type 1 diabetes (T1D) although the mechanisms and markers involved in the evolution to established cardiovascular disease are not well known. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol in T1D is normal or even high, and changes in its func...

7. Cardiovascular disease onset in old people with severe hypercholesterolemia

   ATHEROSCLEROSIS, v.365, p.9-14, 2023

   Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) variants are associated with higher atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk (ASCVD) even when compared with other forms of severe hypercholesterolemia, especially in young people. Lipid lowering therapies (LLT) may change hypercholestero...

8. A novel wireless oxygen gas sensor based on silver film loaded on a patch antenna

   MATERIALS CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, v.299, article ID 127513, 6p, 2023

   In this work, a patch antenna loaded with sensitive silver film was employed for the detection of oxygen gas at high concentrations. SEM micrographs demonstrate that the morphology of the Ag film presents an elevated degree of porosity, confirming that the film is suitable for adsorbing O2 gas mo...

9. Muscle and visceral fat infiltration: A potential mechanism to explain the worsening of obstructive sleep apnea with age

   SLEEP MEDICINE, v.104, p.42-48, 2023

   Study objectives: Aging is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and is associated with increased upper airway collapsibility, but the mechanisms are largely unknown. We hypothesized that the increase in OSA severity and upper airway collapsibility with age are partially mediated...

10. Update of the Brazilian Guidelines for Valvular Heart Disease: An Approach to Anatomically Important Lesions Introduction

    ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE CARDIOLOGIA, v.109, n.6, suppl.2, p.1-34, 2017
