1. Data-driven, cross-disciplinary collaboration: lessons learned at the largest academic health center in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic

   FRONTIERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, v.12, article ID 1369129, 15p, 2024

   Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted global research efforts to reduce infection impact, highlighting the potential of cross-disciplinary collaboration to enhance research quality and efficiency.Methods At the FMUSP-HC academic health system, we implemented innovative flow management r...

2. Could trauma laparoscopy be the standard of care for hemodynamically stable patients? A retrospective analysis of 165 cases

   SURGICAL ENDOSCOPY AND OTHER INTERVENTIONAL TECHNIQUES, v.37, n.9, p.6727-6735, 2023

   BackgroundTrauma laparoscopy may provide a less invasive alternative to laparotomy by providing accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive management of selected trauma patients. The risk of missing injuries during the laparoscopic evaluation still refrains surgeons from using this approach. Our a...

3. Tamsulosin vs. Tadalafil as medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteral stones: a systematic review and meta-analysis

   INTERNATIONAL BRAZ J UROL, v.49, n.6, p.668-676, 2023

   Purpose: Medical expulsive therapy (MET) is recommended for distal ureteral stones from 5 to 10 mm. The best drug for MET is still uncertain. In this review, we aim to compare the effectiveness of tadalafil and tamsulosin for distal ureteral stones from 5 to 10 mm in terms of stone expulsion rate...

4. Scoring system for prediction of overall survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma T3aN0M0

   BJUI COMPASS, v.5, n.2, p.289-296, 2024

   ObjectiveWe aim to create a new score to predict postoperative overall survival in patients with nonmetastatic T3aN0 renal cell carcinoma.MethodsWe reviewed the clinical data of adult patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma between December 2007 and January 2022 in a s...

5. Bilateral inguinal hernia repair and male fertility: a randomized clinical trial comparing Lichtenstein versus laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) technique

   SURGICAL ENDOSCOPY AND OTHER INTERVENTIONAL TECHNIQUES, v.37, n.12, p.9263-9274, 2023

   Background The effects of hernia repair on testicular function remain uncertain, regardless of the technique used. Studies that analyze testicular volume and flow after hernia repair or hormonal measurements are scarce and show contradictory results. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of bil...

6. Morphology of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms and Correlation with Biomechanical Tests of Aneurysmal Wall Fragments

   ANNALS OF VASCULAR SURGERY, v.100, p.101-109, 2024

   Background: Evaluate how specific morphologic aspects of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), including asymmetries, curvatures, tortuosities, and angulations, among others can influence the intrinsic biomechanical properties of the AAA's wall. This study analyzed the correlation of geometric measu...

7. Exercise training induces alteration of clock genes and myokines expression in tumor-bearing mice

   CELL BIOCHEMISTRY AND FUNCTION, v.41, n.8, p.1383-1394, 2023

   To investigate the impact of different exercise training schedules (following a fixed schedule or at random times of the day) on clock genes and myokine expression patterns in the skeletal muscle of tumor-bearing mice. Mice were divided into three groups: tumor (LLC), tumor + exercise training (L...

8. Anatomical Bases of the Temporal Muscle Trigger Points

   BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL, v.2024, article ID 6641346, 8p, 2024

   Background and Purpose. Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a chronic or acute form of musculoskeletal pain that affects nearly three-quarters of the world's population. It is characterized by muscle pain and stiffness, with palpable nodules and hyperirritability areas called myofascial trigger poi...

9. Evaluation of AR, AR-V7, and p160 family as biomarkers for prostate cancer: insights into the clinical significance and disease progression

   JOURNAL OF CANCER RESEARCH AND CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, v.150, n.2, article ID 70, 13p, 2024

   Purpose To assess the role of the p160 family, AR, and AR-V7 in different initial presentations of prostate cancer and their association with clinical endpoints related to tumor progression. Methods The study sample comprises 155 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and 11 healthy periphe...

10. Analysis of intracranial pressure waveform using a non-invasive method in individuals with craniosynostosis

    CHILDS NERVOUS SYSTEM, v.40, n.1, p.145-152, 2024

    PurposeCraniosynostosis can lead to symptoms resulting from cranial compliance (CC) changes and intracranial hypertension (ICH), which may cause cognitive and visual impairment. Non-invasive methods have emerged, including a new device that captures and processes the intracranial pressure wavefor...
