quasi-experiments

Braga AA.
GSID: kwomuvtQQpsJ
AA Braga - The ANNALS of the American Academy of …, 2001 - journals.sagepub.com

… Five randomized experiments and four nonequivalent control group quasi-experiments were identified. The findings of these evaluations suggest that focused police actions can prevent crime and disorder in crime hot spots. These studies also suggest that focused police …

A Novel Noonan Syndrome RAF1 Mutation: Lethal Course in a Preterm Infant.

Pediatric reports

Ratola A, Silva HM, Guedes A, Mota C, Braga AC, Oliveira D, Alegria A, Carvalho C, Álvares S, Proença E.
PMID: 26266034
Pediatr Rep. 2015 Jun 24;7(2):5955. doi: 10.4081/pr.2015.5955. eCollection 2015 May 25.

Noonan syndrome is a relatively common and heterogeneous genetic disorder, associated with congenital heart defect in about 50% of the cases. If the defect is not severe, life expectancy is normal. We report a case of Noonan syndrome in...

New Insights on the Use of Dietary Polyphenols or Probiotics for the Management of Arterial Hypertension.

Frontiers in physiology

de Brito Alves JL, de Sousa VP, Cavalcanti Neto MP, Magnani M, Braga VA, da Costa-Silva JH, Leandro CG, Vidal H, Pirola L.
PMID: 27766081
Front Physiol. 2016 Oct 06;7:448. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2016.00448. eCollection 2016.

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most prevalent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CD) and is the main cause of deaths worldwide. Current research establish that dietary polyphenols may help to lower blood pressure (BP), thus contributing to...

Ondansetron and promethazine have differential effects on hypothermic responses to lithium chloride administration and to provocative motion in rats.

Temperature (Austin, Tex.)

Guimaraes DD, Andrews PL, Rudd JA, Braga VA, Nalivaiko E.
PMID: 27227074
Temperature (Austin). 2015 Oct 27;2(4):543-53. doi: 10.1080/23328940.2015.1071700. eCollection 2015.

We recently reported that provocative motion (rotation in a home cage) causes hypothermic responses in rats, similar to the hypothermic responses associated with motion sickness in humans. Many stimuli inducing emesis in species with an emetic reflex also provoke...

Silanol-Assisted Carbinolamine Formation in an Amine-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Surface: Theoretical Investigation by Fragmentation Methods.

The journal of physical chemistry. B

de Lima Batista AP, Zahariev F, Slowing II, Braga AA, Ornellas FR, Gordon MS.
PMID: 26670797
J Phys Chem B. 2016 Mar 03;120(8):1660-9. doi: 10.1021/acs.jpcb.5b08446. Epub 2015 Dec 28.

The aldol reaction catalyzed by an amine-substituted mesoporous silica nanoparticle (amine-MSN) surface was investigated using a large molecular cluster model (Si392O958C6NH361) combined with the surface integrated molecular orbital/molecular mechanics (SIMOMM) and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) methods. Three distinct pathways...

Clinical improvement following therapy for periodontitis: Association with a decrease in IL-1 and IL-6.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Reis C, DA Costa AV, Guimarães JT, Tuna D, Braga AC, Pacheco JJ, Arosa FA, Salazar F, Cardoso EM.
PMID: 24944641
Exp Ther Med. 2014 Jul;8(1):323-327. doi: 10.3892/etm.2014.1724. Epub 2014 May 19.

Although a number of inflammatory cytokines have been shown to be associated with periodontal pathogenesis, it is important to investigate further whether these biomarkers are associated with the degree of success in nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis. The aim...

Role of antibiotics on surgical site infection in cases of open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a comparative observational study.

Journal of surgical technique and case report

Gharde P, Swarnkar M, Waghmare LS, Bhagat VM, Gode DS, Wagh DD, Muntode P, Rohariya H, Sharma A.
PMID: 25013542

INTRODUCTION: Surgical site infection (SSI) comes as third most common healthcare related infection which produces morbidity and deaths at large. Still many authors believe that it is better not to use prophylactic antibiotics in simple and uncomplicated cases. Laparoscope,...

Intermolecular Noncovalent Hydroxy-Directed Enantioselective Heck Desymmetrization of Cyclopentenol: Computationally Driven Synthesis of Highly Functionalized cis-4-Arylcyclopentenol Scaffolds.

The Journal of organic chemistry

de Oliveira Silva J, Angnes RA, Menezes da Silva VH, Servilha BM, Adeel M, Braga AA, Aponick A, Correia CR.
PMID: 26836260
J Org Chem. 2016 Mar 04;81(5):2010-8. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.5b02846. Epub 2016 Feb 16.

New computationally driven protocols for the Heck desymmetrization of 3-cyclopenten-1-ol with aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates were developed. These new conditions furnished remarkable product selectivity originating from a resident hydroxyl group and the critical choice of the reaction solvent. Mechanistic insights gleaned...
