Randomized trials involving patients with stroke have established that outcomes are improved the use of thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion. These were performed in high-resource countries and had limited effects on medical practice low- middle-income countries.
The International IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) Prediction Tool is the preferred method in 2021 KDIGO guidelines to predict, at time of kidney biopsy, risk a 50% drop estimated glomerular filtration rate or failure. However, it not known if can be accurately applied after period observation post-biopsy. Using an international multi-ethnic derivation cohort 2,507 adults with IgAN, we updated for use one year and externally validated this 722 adults. original one-year without modification had...
Depression is the most frequent psychiatric disorder in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although evidence suggests that depression PD related to degenerative process underlies disease, further studies are necessary better understand neural basis of this population patients. In order investigate neuronal alterations underlying PD, we studied thirty-six patients with idiopathic PD. Twenty these had diagnosis major and sixteen did not. The two groups were matched for motor severity according Unified...
Abstract Background It is unknown whether renal pathology lesions in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) correlate with outcomes over decades of follow-up. Methods In 1130 patients the original Validation Study Oxford Classification for IgA Nephropathy (VALIGA) cohort, we studied relationship between MEST score (mesangial hypercellularity, M; endocapillary E; segmental glomerulosclerosis, S; tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, T), crescents (C) and other histological both a combined...
The Brazilian Practice Guidelines for Stroke Rehabilitation - Part II, developed by the Scientific Department of Neurological Academy Neurology (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia, in Portuguese), focuses on specific rehabilitation techniques to aid recovery from impairment and disability after stroke. As I, II is also based recently available evidence randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, other guidelines. covers disorders communication, dysphagia, postural control...
The mechanisms underlying the effects of antidepressant treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear. neural changes after successful therapy investigated by neuroimaging methods can give insights into action related to a specific choice. To study modulation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and fluoxetine, 21 PD depressed were randomized only two active groups for 4 wk: rTMS over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (5 Hz rTMS; 120% motor...
Abstract Among nonmotor symptoms observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) dysfunction the visual system, including hallucinations, has a significant impact their quality of life. To further explore system PD patients we designed two fMRI experiments comparing 18 healthy volunteers with 16 without complaints paradigms: flickering checkerboard task and facial perception paradigm. displayed decreased activity primary cortex (Broadmann area 17) bilaterally as compared to during increased fusiform...
Neurological manifestations associated with COVID-19 remain partially described, mainly in low- and middle-income countries where diagnostic tools are limited. To address this, we assembled medical centers Brazil the goal of describing neurological syndromes during first wave pandemic. From June 1st, 2020 to 2021, non-consecutive adult patients new onset six up 60 days after confirmed were included. Data compiled from four tertiary compared general local data, as well a previous cohort...
Background: Previous reported neurologic sequelae associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have mainly been confined to hospital-based patients in which viral detection was restricted nasal/throat swabs or IgM/IgG peripheral blood serology. Here we describe seven cases from Brazil of outpatients previous mild moderate COVID-19 who developed subacute cognitive disturbances. Methods: From June 1 August 15, 2020, individuals 18 60 years old, confirmed mild/moderate and findings consistent...
Background/Objectives: Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a neurological disease that affects the peripheral nerves. The exact cause of this condition still uncertain, but cross-reactivity between pathogen antigens and nervous tissue may play crucial role in pathogenesis. Roseolovirus humanbeta6 (HHV-6), neurotropic virus with latency capacity, be considered significant candidate for triggering or worsening conditions. In study, we aimed to investigate detection HHV-6 CNS from GBS patients. Of...
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to describe a case series of Brazilian new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) patients and evaluate the sensitivity specificity clinical score predict cryptogenic etiology (c‐NORSE score) after autoimmune encephalitis (AE) testing. Methods Thirty‐seven with NORSE from Autoimmune Encephalitis Network were investigated brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, complementary testing tissue‐based assays...
<i>Background:</i> A recent well-conducted meta-analysis showed that placebo effect is associated with a possible small benefit for subjective outcomes, but has no significant effects on objective outcomes. <i>Objective:</i> Herein, we aimed to investigate the immediate of two different types [placebo pill and sham transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)] in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients compared them standard treatment (levodopa) proper randomized, double-blind,...
The frequency of antibodies in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) may vary different populations, however, data from developing countries are lacking. To describe the clinical profile AIE Brazil, and to evaluate seasonality predictors adult pediatric patients.We evaluated patients with possible 17 centers Brazilian Autoimmune Encephalitis Network (BrAIN) between 2018 2022. CSF serum were tested TBAs CBAs. Data on presentation, complementary investigation, treatment compiled. Seasonality...
