Improving stroke services is critical for reducing the global burden. The World Stroke Organization-World Health Organization-Lancet Neurology Commission on conducted a survey of status in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared to high-income countries.Using validated Organization comprehensive questionnaire, we collected data along four pillars quadrangle (surveillance, prevention, acute stroke, rehabilitation) 84 across regions economic strata. also non-communicable diseases 194...
Several brain disorders associated with neuroinflammation show sex differences in their incidence, onset, progression and/or outcome. The different regulation of the neuroinflammatory response males and females could underlie these differences. In this study, we have explored whether reactive gliosis after a penetrating cortical injury exhibits Males presented higher density Iba1 immunoreactive cells proximity wound (0-220 μm) than females. This difference was due to number nonreactive...
The disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, known as 2019, has resulted in a global pandemic. Reports are emerging of new hyperinflammatory related to 2019 children and adolescents. Centers for Disease Control Prevention designated this multisystem inflammatory children. Our objective was develop clinical inpatient protocol the evaluation, management, follow-up patients with syndrome.
The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NCC) remains problematic because the heterogeneity its clinical, immunological, and imaging characteristics. Our aim was to develop assess a new set diagnostic criteria for NCC, which might allow accurate detection of, differentiation between, parenchymal extraparenchymal disease.A group Latin American NCC experts developed by consensus NCC. A multicenter, retrospective study then conducted validate it. reference standard active disappearance or reduction...

Introduction: Stroke is one of the leading causes death in Latin America, a region with countless gaps to be addressed decrease its burden. In 2018, at first American Ministerial Meeting, stroke physician and healthcare manager representatives from 13 countries signed Declaration Gramado priorities improve region, commitment implement all evidence-based strategies for care. The second meeting March 2020 reviewed achievements 2 years discussed new objectives. This paper will review 2-year...
Effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) risk is heterogeneous across populations, with scarce data Hispanics/Latinos. APOE genotype was studied in 12,221 Hispanics/Latinos (per cohort via metanalysis): Caribbean-Hispanics, Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, Peruvians/Bolivians. A subsample had longitudinal assessment plasma p-tau. We tested the modifying effects global local ancestries. Results were replicated an independent Peruvian brain samples. ε4...
Objective: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) primarily causes illness. However, neurological sequelae from novel disease 2019 (COVID-19) can occur. Patients with conditions may be at higher risk of developing worsening their underlying problem. Here we document our initial experiences as neurologic consultants a single center quaternary hospital the epicenter COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was retrospective case series adult patients diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 who...
Chronic migraine is a condition with significant prevalence all around the world and high socioeconomic impact, its handling has been challenging neurologists. Developments for understanding mechanisms associated conditions, as well that of new therapies, have quick important, fact which motivated Latin American Brazilian Headache Societies to prepare present consensus. The treatment chronic should always be preceded by careful diagnosis review; detection possible worsening factors...
Abstract. Coronary heart disease is a prevalent condition and leading cause of death in developed countries. Most cases are due to the cluster classical risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure dyslipidaemia. However, few patients develop severe premature arteriosclerosis spite absence common factors. Here, we present clinical, analytical molecular features 36‐years‐old man who died from advanced ischaemic result cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), rare characterized by...

A 2-step silicone was made arch ISFIRs. The experimental procedure obtained by making impressions gingival contours immediately ISFIR removal. control formed fabricating definitive casts from conventional ISFIRs as customized transfer and these...
Biological drugs and nonbiological complex with expired patents are followed by biosimilars follow-on that supposedly similar comparable the reference product in terms of quality, safety efficacy. Unlike simple molecules can be copied reproduced, heterogeneous need specific regulations from health pharmacovigilance agencies. A panel 14 Latin American experts on multiple sclerosis nine different countries met to discuss recommendations regarding for treating sclerosis. Specific measures...
