- Development of MT-02: Oligonucleotide Aimed at the Treatment of Sarcopenia, AP.PIPE
Abstract
The increase in life expectancy has the potential to extend individuals' productive and socially engaged periods. However, this rise in lifespan has not been accompanied by a corresponding addition of healthy years in the population. Aging and chronic diseases, such as obesity, are risk factors that share a common link with sarcopenia, which stands out as a critical limiting factor. Sarco…
- EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF A WHOLE-BODY VIBRATION PROTOCOL COMBINED WITH PULMONARY REHABILITATION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED SINGLE-BLIND CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDY, AP.R
Abstract
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with sarcopenia and osteoporosis, limiting quality of life. Whole-body mechanical vibration (WBV) may be a promising intervention. Objective: To assess the impact of WBV on bone quality, neuromuscular function, and respiratory capacity in patients with COPD. Methods: In a prospective, single-blind intervention study,…
- Multicenter Validation and Automation of the NEOPROFILER-MB Prototype, a Molecular Test for Medulloblastoma Classification Based on RT-qPCR Technology and Artificial Intelligence., AP.PIPE
Abstract
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant central nervous system tumor in children, with an estimated 30,000 children affected worldwide each year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this tumor is molecularly subdivided into four subgroups: WNT, SHH (wild-type TP53 or mutated TP53), and Non-WNT/SHH (Group 3 and 4). These subgroups have distinct molecular and clinical cha…

- Custom cranial medical prosthesis modeling software assisted by Artificial Intelligence for 3D Printing, AP.PIPE
Abstract
Cranioplasty, a critical procedure for cranial reconstruction following decompressive craniectomy, faces challenges in terms of customization, efficiency, and affordability. In Brazil, between 2011 and 2021, there were approximately 16,106 cases of cranioplasty, according to data extracted from the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), highlighting the need for an enhanced solution to ad…

- Development of dermocosmetic formulations containing a blend of Mediterranean extracts for the treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, BP.IC
Abstract
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common pigmentation disorder in men and women that significantly impacts self-esteem. This condition often affects the face as a consequence of acne, but it can also affect the underarm region due to continuous aggression from physical and chemical factors. The search for effective, safe and natural treatments has been driving the search for …
- The influence of palmaris longus agenesis on upper limb muscle function in healthy adult men and women, BP.IC
Abstract
The palmaris longus muscle (PL) functions as a wrist flexor and tightens the palmar aponeurosis. Agenesis of this muscle is observed in approximately 10-15% of the population and does not impact quality of life. Although various studies indicate that PL agenesis does not compromise muscle function as assessed by handgrip strength, to our knowledge, no studies have investigated its impact …
- Evaluation of the Antinociceptive Effect of Topical Treatment with Hemopressin in Mice Subjected to an Experimental Model of Herpetic Neuralgia: Involvement of Voltage-Dependent Calcium Channels (Cav 2.2), BP.IC
Abstract
This project investigates neuropathic pain, a complex chronic condition that is often refractory to conventional treatments, focusing on a new therapeutic approach: hemopressin. Hemopressin is a peptide derived from hemoglobin that interacts with the endocannabinoid system, showing analgesic potential by reducing hyperalgesia and allodynia in animal models. The topical administration of h…

- Economic evaluation of intravaginal electrical stimulation for women with stress urinary incontinence, BP.TT
- Integrated analysis of fires in Acre: relationships between air quality and road network, BP.EVC
Abstract
This project aims to map and analyze fires in the state of Acre, focusing on the intentionality of these practices, air quality, and relationships with road infrastructure. Using geoprocessing techniques at the Laboratory of Applied Geoprocessing for the Environment (LabGAMA) of the Federal University of Acre, the study will seek to identify fire patterns and understand the motivations of…

- CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AND ARCHITECTURAL STRATIFICATION: A study for enhanced digital heritage documentation., BE.EP.IC
Abstract
This undergraduate research internship abroad seeks to analyze architectural materials and interpretative frameworks within heritage building interventions, focusing on their historical stratification and the ways knowledge transfer and construction techniques have shaped their form. By situating these materials within their cultural and conceptual contexts, the project aims to deepen the…
- Assessment of cerebral blood flow regulation using arterial spin labelling MRI: an exploratory investigation in individuals with lupus, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
This proposal includes a project that will investigate cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects multiple body systems and often leads to cognitive dysfunction, which can significantly impact patients' quality of life. Research suggests that alterations in the regulation of CBF can contrib…
- Impact of Aromatase Inhibitors Combined with Exogenous Androgen Use on Insulin Sensitivity and Energy Metabolism, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Lifestyle and increased consumption of high-fat diet largely contribute to the development of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (DM2) and cardiovascular disease. One of the consequences of this lifestyle and high-fat diet is Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), which affects about 30% of adults and up to 10% of children in developed countries. In addition, obesity is the …

- Assessment of Microbiota Composition in the feces of Brachycephalic Dogs affected by Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) before and after corrective surgery, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a well-recognized condition characterized by anatomopathological alterations leading to partial airway obstructions in brachycephalic dog breeds. Like human patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, dogs with BOAS experience intermittent hypoxia, which can trigger systemic inflammation and the generation of free radicals, affectin…
- Experiences, beliefs and psychosocial factors of individuals with TMD and tinnitus. A qualitative study., BE.EP.IC
Abstract
Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD), often associated with tinnitus, significantly impacts quality of life due to its strong psychosocial component, such as the presence of symptoms of anxiety and depression. Previous studies have shown positive correlations between the impact of tinnitus and emotional factors in patients with TMD. This reinforces the relevance of qualitative research to …
