Quality of life aspects of a low protein diet using GMP in patients with phenylketonuria
Objective: To assess some quality of life (QOL) aspects of a low protein diet, using glycomacropeptide
(GMP) as a protein substitute in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU).
Methods: This was a multicentre, prospective observational cohort, study. Metabolic control,
nutritional parameters, and dietary adherence were assessed in patients with PKU before (T0),
and six months after (T6) starting a low protein diet using GMP. Selected items from the PKUQOL
questionnaire were used to assess patients’ acceptance of their modified diet.
Results: 18 patients from three Italian Centres, completed the study. With the exception of
LDL-cholesterol and vitamin 25OH-D concentrations, there were no differences between T0 and
T6 in metabolic or nutritional parameters. Data suggested that patients have a good acceptance
of protein substitutes containing GMP, probably because of their improved palatability.
Conclusions: According to our patients’ responses to items related to dietary regimen, GMP
based protein substitutes do not appear to significantly affect QOL

AlĂ©m do "silĂŞncio de um oceano". Ideias de Brasil nas representações de um crĂtico e de artistas e arquitetos italianos depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial
RESUMO Este artigo investiga as ideias de Brasil formuladas em uma seleção de cartas, artigos, fotografias, desenhos, pinturas e mostras, entre 1947 e 1963 pelos arquitetos Lina Bo Bardi e Giancarlo Palanti, pelos artistas Roberto Sambonet e Bramante Buffoni, e pelo crĂtico de arte Pietro Maria Bardi - italianos imigrados no paĂs apĂłs a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O novo paĂs Ă© visto como o lugar onde parece possĂvel a realização das promessas da arte e da arquitetura modernas, mas tambĂ©m lugar onde estas se desfazem e transformam-se. O objetivo do trabalho Ă© identificar, a partir desses exemplos, indĂcios de uma postura diante da realidade local, condutora de suas pesquisas sobre um caráter para a produção artĂstica
