Item Plasmatic and salivary biomarkers for early diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder: a systematic review(CDRR Editors) Pinto, Mayara Moniz Vieira; Arisawa, Emília Angela Lo Schiavo; Martins, Rodrigo Alvaro Brandão Lopes; Raniero, Leandro JoséAutistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is considered a neurological development disorder characterized by different degrees of deficit in communication, social interaction, and learning, accompanied by repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior. ASD diagnosis is extremely complex due to the still unknown etiopathology, the diversity of symptoms presented by the individuals, and it is carried out solely from clinical observations of the individual's behavior. This study aims to review the main plasma and salivary biomarkers currently studied for the early diagnosis of ASD. For this systematic literature review, we used the online data directory and database “Google Scholar” and “Publish Medliner” (PubMed), respectively, with the descriptors: “Autism”, “Biomarker”, “Diagnostic”, “Saliva”, and “Plasma”. We selected 564 studies in PubMed and 185 in Google Scholar, by screening the titles. After reading the abstracts, we excluded 647 studies, either due to irrelevance or because they were review articles, genetics studies or did not use plasma or saliva samples. The remaining 102 original studies were evaluated in full, and 83 were excluded. Thus, nineteen complete articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in the qualitative analysis. Results identified Cortisol, glutamate/GABA, glutathione, Lipid peroxidation, markers of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-6, as the main plasma and salivary biomarkers currently studied for the early diagnosis of ASD. However, considering that several results were controversial and inconclusive, further studies are needed to validate specific biomarkers as diagnostic tools. The current findings encourage studies that are controlled, multicentric, prospective, and of greater diagnostic precision.Item Fotobiomodulação no tratamento de neuralgia pós-herpética: caso clínico(Revista Univap) Silva, Erick Giovanni Reis; Arisawa, Emilia Angela Lo Schiavo; Martins, Rodrigo Alvaro Brandão Lopes; Gomes, Raimundo Nonato Silva; Nicolau, Renata Amadei; Pinto, Ana PaulaO presente caso clínico teve por objetivo avaliar a ação da fotobiomodulação (PBM) no tratamento de paciente com diagnóstico de Neuropatia Pós-Herpética (NPH), visando o alívio da dor e a melhora da qualidade de vida. Para a PBM utilizou-se um cluster com três lasers de GaAlAs, com os parâmetros: 660 nm, 100 mW, irradiação pontual, 40 s/ponto, 4 J/cm2 por ponto e total de 10 sessões. Para aferição da dor foram utilizadas a Escala Visual Analógica da Dor (EVA) e Algometria, e a qualidade de vida, com aplicação do Questionário de Avaliação da Qualidade de Vida -SF-36. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise descritiva e ao teste estatístico T pareado, com nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram redução da dor quando comparadas a 1ª à 10ª sessão, tanto pela EVA quanto pela Algometria. Com relação à análise da qualidade de vida, foi observada uma melhora significativa em todos os oito domínios avaliados. Portanto, conclui-se que a PBM foi eficaz no tratamento da NPH visto que houve redução da dor e melhora na qualidade de vida. Esses resultados são importantes e podem nortear novas pesquisas clínicas que objetivem o emprego da PBM no tratamento da NPH.Item The influence of photobiomodulation on the temperature of the brachial biceps during muscle fatigue protocol(Springer Nature Link) Stamborowski, Sadi Fernando; Spinelli, Bruna Moreira de Oliveira; Lima, Fernanda Pupio Silva; Costa, Davidson Ribeiro; Souza, Gabriela Aparecida da Silveira; Lima, Mario Oliveira; Martins, Rodrigo Alvaro Brandão LopesPhysical activity raises body temperature. However, the literature does not contain studies about whether the employment of hotobiomodulation (PMB) could significantly influence body temperature during a muscle fatigue (MF) protocol. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PMB on the temperature of the biceps brachii muscle during the performance of a muscle fatigue protocol. The study consisted of 14 volunteers who were divided into two groups (placebo group and laser group) and all individuals rotated into all groups (crossover study). To induce muscle fatigue, three maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) were performed for 50 s with a 50-s interval. During the MVIC, the muscle strength was assessed using surface electromyography and infrared temperature at 0, 5, 10, and 15 min after the tests. The laser group presented a less accentuated decrease in muscle strength, evidencing a lower rate of muscle fatigue (p > 0.05) in relation to the other groups. In the temperature analysis, the control group exhibited the highest average temperature, with a significant difference only for the placebo. The results indicate that the control displayed the greatest physical degeneration and the PMB group had a positive effect on MF attenuation and body thermoregulation.
