OBJECTIVES: To analyze the occurrence and types of neoplasias that have developed in patients submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation in the Cardiac Transplantation Program of the Paulista School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo.
METHODS: The present study presents an observational analysis of 106 patients submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation from November 1986 to September 2002, who survived for more than 30 days after the procedure. The immunosuppressive regimen consisted of triple therapy with cyclosporin A, azathioprine and corticosteroid. Only two patients received, in addition to triple therapy, the addition of orthoclone OKT-3. The mean follow-up period was 61.4 months. (variation from two months to 192 months).
RESULTS: Twenty-three patients (21.3%) developed neoplasias, of which 56.5% had skin neoplasms, 30.1% had solid tumors and 13.4% had post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). The mean interval between transplantation and the diagnosis of neoplasia was: skin - 54.9 months, solid tumors - 24.8 months and DLPT - 70.3 months.
CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of malignant neoplasms was relatively common in the analyzed population. Skin cancer prevailed in relation to other neoplasms and solid tumors were more diagnosed than lymphoproliferative diseases in this series of patients.
False. When writing you should look for spelling mistakes as well.
True! By using standard speech, the majority of your audience would be able to understand it.
Answer:
I agree.
Explanation:
Indigenous Peoples Day is used to celebrate the values of equality, prosperity, respect for land and respect for life, which indigenous people actually implement in their communities and respect as part of their cultures. Although many of these values are adopted as American values, we know that in practice they are not so present in the population and are not even celebrated, in fact, as indigenous people do. So yes, we can agree with the quote from Leo Killsback.
The day of indigenous peoples is also held to remember European violence and the attempt to exploit them, enslave and suppress them.
The best correction of the clause fragment is to C. delete the word "although."
Without that word, you get a proper single independent sentence, and not a fragment.
