To investigate the prevalence of low back pain in truck drivers and check for possible risk factors related to presence pain.A questionnaire was developed including personal such as age, practice physical sports activities, general health habits, occupation-related issues, associated with pain. The body mass index (ratio weight square height, kg/m2) calculated. Of 489 male assessed, 410 were enrolled into study. statistical analysis divided 2 stages: descriptive data, binary logistical...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sensitivity and reproducibility of Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan functional scale in assessment locomotor capacity rats after spinal cord injury. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar underwent laminectomy mild, moderate or severe contusions using New York University Weight Drop Impactor. The mice were followed for 28 days, which time each rat was placed an 80x80x30 cm³ clear box lined with a blue non-slippery material stimulated to move. Their movement video-recorded by three...
To evaluate the functional and immunohistochemical effects of ganglioside GM1 erythropoietin following experimental spinal cord injury.Thirty-two male BALB/c mice were subjected to injury using NYU Impactor device randomly divided into groups: group, receiving standard (30 mg/kg); (1000 IU/kg); combination both drugs; control saline (0.9%). Animals evaluated according Basso Mouse Scale (BMS) Hindlimb Function Score (MFS). After euthanasia, immunohistochemistry medullary tissue was analyzed....
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent with the potential to differentiate into various lineages. They have also protect themselves against harmful stimuli maintain their functional integrity. Drug resistance-related transporters such as ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein; P-gp), ABCC1 (MRP1; multidrug Protein 1), and LRP (lung resistance protein) may MSCs toxic substances chemotherapeutic agents. This study evaluated ABCB1, ABCC1, before after differentiation of derived from human amniotic fluid...
Um dos primeiros sinais de envelhecimento facial é a flacidez na região periorbital, gerando insatisfação pessoal e problemas autoestima. Os agregados plaquetários autólogos tem capacidade estimular produção colágeno pela liberação fatores crescimento, sendo uma opção terapêutica para rejuvenescimento periorbital. O objetivo dessa revisão sistemática foi comparar eficácia do Fibrina Rica em Plaquetas (PRF) com Plasma Rico (PRP) o da Esta considerou estudos observacionais clínicos que se...
O envelhecimento e as alterações estéticas faciais envolvem fatores intrínsecos extrínsecos, que geram insatisfação com a autoimagem o bem-estar. A terapia de ozônio ganhou atenção nos últimos anos devido seus benefícios terapêuticos, além da estética. Ozônio é uma molécula altamente oxidante biocompatível corpo humano, por isso um excelente bioestimulador colágeno, suas propriedades antimicrobiana, imunomoduladora oxigenadora. presente estudo realizou série relatos casos clínicos submetidos...

Variables collected through an epidemiological form, which included gender, age at injury, duration and cause SCI. investigated time...
OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the interobserver agreement for Neoplastic Spine Instability Score (SINS) among spine surgeons with or without experience in vertebral metastasis treatment and physicians other specialties.METHODS: Case descriptions were produced based on medical records of 40 patients metastases.The then published online.Physicians invited to by answering questions according (SINS).The was calculated using kappa coefficient.RESULTS: Seventeen agreed participate: three highly...
The objective was to compare the traditional microdiscectomy with percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy for treatment of disc herniations regarding pain, disability, and complications.Randomized clinical trial 47 patients treated 2 different surgical techniques: or discectomy. Forty-seven were divided into groups monitored 12 months. Irradiated low back pain evaluated visual analog scale. Surgery complications recorded.After surgery, sciatica disability improved significantly but without...

There are several techniques for screw insertion in upper cervical spine surgery, and the use of 3.5-mm is usually standard. However, there no consensus regarding feasibility using these screws pediatric population.To determine measurement lamina angle, pedicle length thickness, lateral mass topographic axial view axis vertebra 2- to 10-year-old children guide surgical screws.Seventy-five computed tomography scans from 24- 120-month-old patients were studied. Measurements taken an C2...
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the association of clinical and demographic variables in patients requiring blood transfusion during elective surgery to treat scoliosis with aim identifying markers predictive need for transfusion.METHODS: Based on review medical charts at a public university hospital, this retrospective study evaluated whether following were associated red cell (measured by number packs used) surgery: scoliotic angle, extent arthrodesis (number fused levels), sex patient, duration...
To evaluate the functional and histological effects of estrogen as a neuroprotective agent after standard experimentally induced spinal cord lesion.In this experimental study, 20 male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: one group with undergoing injury (SCI) at T10 receiving therapy 17-beta estradiol (4mg/kg) immediately following placement skin sutures control only subjected to SCI. A moderate SCI was produced using computerized device that dropped weight on rat's spine from height...
