Pseudoxanthoma elasticum presenting as akinetic-rigid parkinsonism and dementia
ABSTRACT Neuropsychiatric disorders in multiple sclerosis have been known since the original clinicopathological description by Charcot in the late nineteenth century. Charcot, in the last decades of his life, became involved in the field of neuropsychiatry. This produced a battle between rival schools in the era that still echoes to this day. Charcot ’ s intuition, including the line of thought of Babinski, one of his most famous disciples, was that there was a connection between mood disorders and many of the diseases of the nervous system. Medicine ’ s concern with establishing a relationship between mood disorders ...

The prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury can be affected by EPTE.RESUMO Objetivo Analisar os fatores de risco e progn óstico relacionados à epilepsia pós-traumática precoce (EPTE). Métodos Cento e oitenta e seis pacientes com lesão cerebral traumática foram incluídos. Seus dados clínicos completos foram coletados. A análise fatorial única e a análise de regressão logística dos fatores de risco relac ionados à EPTE foram realizadas. O prognóstico dos pacientes foi observado. Resultados A análise fatorial ...

Expressions of plasma cystatin C, D-dimer and hypersensitive C-reactive protein in patients with intracranial progressive hemorrhagic injury after craniocerebral injury, and their clinical significance
Conclusion The increase of plasma Cys-C, D-D and hs-CRP levels may be involved in IPHI after craniocerebral injury. The early detection of these indexes may help to understand the severity and outcome of IPHI.RESUMO Objetivo Investigar as express ões da cistatina C plasmática (Cys-C), dímero-D (D-D) e proteína C-reativa hipersensível (hs-CRP) em pacientes com lesão hemorrágica progressiva intracraniana (IPHI) após lesão craniocerebral e seus significados clínicos. Métodos Quarenta e dois pacientes com IPHI e 20 indivíduos saudá veis (controle) foram incluídos. A gravidade e o resultado do IPHI foram determina...

The cost of stroke in private hospitals in Brazil: a one-year prospective study
Conclusions Stroke is a costly disease. In the private sector, the costs of cerebral reperfusion for IS treatment were three-to-ten times higher than for usual treatments. Therefore, cost-effectiveness studies are urgently needed in low- and middle-income countries.RESUMO Poucos estudos determinam o custo do AVC em pa íses de baixa e média renda nos setores privados. Objetivos Mensurar o custo hospitalar do tratamento do(a): AVC isquêmico com e sem reperfusão cerebral, hemorragia intracerebral primária (HIP), hemorragia subaracnóidea e ataque isquêmico transitório (AIT) em hospitais privados de Joinvill e, Brasil. ...

The cost of stroke in a public hospital in Brazil: a one-year prospective study
Conclusions Reperfusion treatments were two-to-four times more expensive than conservative treatment. A cost-effectiveness study of the IS treatment option is necessary.RESUMO Os pa íses de baixa e media renda enfrentam orçamentos apertados na saúde, não somente devido aos novos recursos terapêuticos, mas relacionado ao custo oneroso do tratamento do acidente vascular cerebral. No entanto, poucos dados prospectivos sobre os custos do AVC, incluindo reperfusão cerebral de países de baixa e média renda estão disponíveis. Objetivo Mensurar os custos do atendimento ao AVC em um hospital público. Métodos Avaliamos p...

The effect of vortioxetine on penicillin-induced epileptiform activity in rats
This study showed that vortioxetine reduces the number of acutely-induced epileptic discharges. Vortioxetine may be an important alternative for epileptic patients with major depressive disorder-related cognitive dysfunction.RESUMO A vortioxetina é um agente antidepressivo multimodal que modula os receptores 5HT e inibe o transportador de serotonina. Está indicada, principalmente nos casos de transtorno depressivo maior (TDM), relacionado à disfunção cognitiva. Existem muitos estudos que investigam os efeitos dos antidepressivos no limi ar convulsivo e na atividade epiléptica de curto prazo. No entanto, o efeito da v...

The influence of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis on migraine disability in children
Conclusions Current allergic rhinoconjunctivitis is related to enhanced disability caused by headache in childhood migraine.RESUMO A enxaqueca é condição comum na população pediátrica e causa significativo impacto na qualidade de vida. Doenças atópicas estão entre as principais morbidades associadas. Objetivo Teorizamos que a rinite alérgica possa agravar a enxaqueca na população pediátrica. Métodos Este estudo transversa l avaliou consecutivamente 90 pacientes pediátricos (46 crianças de 6 a 12 anos; 44 adolescentes até 18 anos) que procuraram assistência por enxaqueca em clínica neurológica de Passo F...

Is allergic rhinitis related to migraine disability in adults?
Conclusions Our results suggest that current allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and seasonal allergic rhinitis are not related to headache disability in adults with episodic migraine.RESUMO A migr ânea é uma condição dolorosa crônica com fisiopatologia complexa. Apesar de disfunções imunológicas já terem sido ligadas à migrânea, poucas foram as tentativas, na literatura, de se avaliar a possibilidade da rinite alérgica como um fator agravante da migrânea em adultos, tornando a qu estão ainda não esclarecida. Objetivo Esta pesquisa visou comparar a incapacidade da migrânea em adultos com e sem ...

Conclusion Patients with IMS presented with memory impairment when compared with asymptomatic patients and seronegative individuals; this is one of the symptoms that aids in the classification of the syndrome.RESUMO Apesar da s índrome de HAM / TSP clássica ser a perturbação neurológica mais atribuída, alguns distúrbios neurológicos denominados “ menores ” s ão vistos em portadores “ assintom áticos ” de HTLV-1. Esses dist úrbios, incluindo alterações cognitivas já observadas em descrições de casos clínicos e estudos, podendo constituir uma verdadeira síndrome clínica intermediária (SI) entre o ...

Neurofilament light chain in the assessment of patients with multiple sclerosis
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, inflammatory, and degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Axonal degeneration is triggered by inflammation and is the pathological substrate of progressive disability in patients with MS. Therapeutic interventions can reduce inflammatory activity, thus delaying neurodegeneration and the progression of disability. Disease activity and neurodegeneration are assessed mainly through clinical evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging. These measures lack sensitivity and accuracy, so new biomarkers are necessary. Several markers have been studied and to date the most...

Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne: a miserable life dedicated to science
ABSTRACT Duchenne de Boulogne is known mainly by the disease eponymously named “ Duchenne muscular dystrophy ” , or pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy, although some experts consider that the original description of this disease does not belong to him. Less well known are the facts related to the tragic death of his beloved wife shortly after the birth of his only child, the unjustifiable distance he was forced to keep from this son for more than 30 years, and of being humiliated and professionally despised by his peers. These events made the life of this physician, physiologist, researcher and inventor extremely ar...
