Diretivas Antecipadas de Vontade e Cuidados Paliativos
O Direito Privado, em especial o Direito negocial, sempre teve um olhar focado nas relações patrimoniais. O Negócio Jurídico, na sua raiz, remonta ao regramento da autonomia da vontade, principalmente para estabelecer parâmetros nas relações comerciais e econômicas entre os sujeitos, sejam com terceiros, por meio dos contratos, ou no próprio aspecto particular e familiar, como o testamento. Todavia, as atrocidades cometidas nas grandes guerras do século XX e o avanço científico-tecnológico colocou em questão os aspectos existenciais das relações privadas, com a preocupação trazida pela tutela da dignidade da pessoa humana e, principalmente, indagações sobre o bem viver. N...
New Aspects of the Renin Angiotensin System in Cardiovascular and Renal Diseases
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormonal system that is responsible for regulating plasma sodium ion concentration and arterial blood pressure in the body. The system involves several peptides such as angiotensin I and II as well as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to enable the constriction of arterial blood vessels in the lung. Angiotensin II also stimulates the production of the hormone aldosterone in the kidneys which brings sodium ions into the bloodstream in exchange for potassium ions. Malfunctions of the RAS can lead to hypertension, heart failure, diabetes and renal complications. Thus the biochemical components of this system serve as important targets for therapeutic dr...
