  Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Objective: To study the importance of immunological screening (CH50, C3, C4) to determine the correlation between the ovarian reserve and complement pathway.   Design: A cross-sectional multivariate study.   Setting: Single tertiary referral center. Patients: 40 Women with infertility diagnosis who underwent In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Intervention(s): Basal blood samples collected to measure complement pathway and antimüllerian hormone. Main Outcome Measure(s): To correlate complement pathways (CH50 levels) with AMH. Results: The complement system and ovarian reserve were studied in 40 women aged from 28-48 years (mean=37.87 years), finding the values of CH50 65-268 CAE (mean=153.2 CAE), C3 13.9- 183mg/dl (mean=128.52mg/dl), C4 11.5-106mg/dl (mean=29.86mg/dl), AMH 0.10-3.9ng/dl (mean=1.32ng/dl). A multivariate analysis comparison was also conducted yielding significan...

  Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR)| Stephy Publishers Abstract The breathing mechanism has existed since our birth and accompanies us throughout life. Breathing is an important function in the regulatory process of numerous body functions; its optimization can bring many health benefits. However, many children are unaware of the mechanisms of breathing, namely abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing, and in addition to this, many breathe normally through their mouths. The present study aimed to verify the influence of a short-term breathing exercise program on children's breathing capacity. Twenty-one children aged between 8 and 10 years were selected, from this selection two groups were formed, the control group (CG) with 10 children and the experimental group (EG) with 11. Through a spirometric test, an assessment of breathing capacity (ABC) was carried out for both groups. The GE participated in a program of breathing exercises (BEP) lasting 15 t...

 Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of COVID-19 in the Barros Luco Hospital Emergency Unit: the First 164 Patients Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR) | Stephy Publishers Abstract Our country was one of many hit by the new coronavirus pandemic, of which its clinical manifestation, mortality rate, laboratory and imaging findings are not still fully understood and in research. This document pretends to elaborate a presentation profile-which includes clinical manifestation, radiologic and laboratory findings-of 164 SARS-CoV2 (+) patients that concurred to the Emergency Service in Barros Luco-Trudeau Hospital. This retrospective-descriptive research paper shows that the most common SARS-CoV2 (+) patient consulting on this ER was predominantly young, not necessarily having a known contact for SARS-CoV2 nor risk factors for complications related to COVID-19. Clinically, dry coughing, cephalalgy and myalgia were more often referred.74% of patients ...

  Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR)| Stephy Publishers Abstract This article discusses the fundamental characteristics of measured glucose levels and predicted glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values among three sets of collected data, measured finger-piercing and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor device collected glucose levels at 15-minute (15-min) and 5-minute (5-min) intervals. The average glucose (in milligram per deciliter-mg/dL) is listed below: Finger glucose: 109 mg/dL (100%) Sensor at 15-min: 120 mg/dL (109%) Sensor at 5-min: 117 mg/dL (107%) Using candlestick chart, the comparison of average glucoses during this period between two sensor glucose (mg/dL) data (15-min/5-min) are as follows: Open glucose: 108/111 Close glucose: 115/115 Maximum (max) glucose: 170 /175 Minimum (min) glucose: 85/83 Average glucose: 120/117 Additional analysis of time above range (TAR)≥140 mg/dL for hyperglycemia, time within the ra...
