Abstract Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a systemic disease caused by the accumulation of misfolded (TTR). It usually presents with an adult-onset progressive axonal peripheral neuropathy and cardiomyopathy. In central nervous system (CNS), variant TTR produced choroid plexus accumulates in leptomeninges. CNS symptoms have been increasingly recognized this population, including transient focal neurological episodes stroke, particularly patients V30M mutation longstanding...

Introdução: A leishmaniose visceral é uma doença que determina um quadro de imunossupressão no paciente após o contato com flebotomíneos infectados. Por outro lado, a síndrome hemofagocítica secundária afecção imunomediada se desenvolve infecções, neoplasias ou doenças autoimunes. O COVID-19 infectou mais 130 milhões pessoas e causou 2,6 óbitos em todo mundo. desencadeada pelo COVID-19, pode ser fator agravante para infecções latentes. Relato: Este estudo relatou caso paciente, 37 anos,...

The present study aims to compare spinal stability after two different minimally invasive techniques, the lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and transforaminal (TLIF) approaches. Two nonlinear three-dimensional finite element (FE) models of L4–L5 functional unit (FSU) were subjected loads that usually act on spine. Findings show LLIF approach yields better results for torsion load case, due larger surface area implant. For extension, flexion bending loads, TLIF presents smaller...

The purpose of this paper is to complement the characterisation patient-specific carotid artery bifurcation haemodynamics based on image data obtained by Doppler ultrasound imaging. A methodology for 3D luminal surface reconstruction followed structured hexahedral meshing volume and blood flow simulation presented. Quantitative descriptors wall shear stress (WSS) are used compare healthy stenosed haemodynamic disturbances. Independently presence stenosis, internal has been identified as a...

A new algorithm is proposed for the segmentation of lumen and bifurcation boundaries carotid artery in B-mode ultrasound images. It uses hipoechogenic characteristics identification echogenic boundaries. The image to be segmented processed with application an anisotropic diffusion filter speckle removal morphologic operators are employed detection artery. obtained information then used definition two initial contours, one corresponding other boundaries, posterior Chan-vese level set model....
