We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) in treatment spasticity 20 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). All patients received injections gastrocnemius soleus, 15 adductors. The total dose varied from 70 to 140 U (99.75±16.26 U), or 7.45±2.06 U/kg per patient. improved patients' walking gait pattern significantly. There was also a significant alteration heel-ground distance increased motion ankle joint. These structural changes feet were...
Reversible posterior leucoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) has previously been described in patients who have renal insufficiency, eclampsia, hypertensive encephalopathy and receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The mechanism by which agents can cause this is not clear, but it probably related with cytotoxic effects of these on the vascular endothelium. We report eight received cyclosporine A (CSA) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or as treatment for severe aplastic anemia (SSA)...
Pharmacological treatments for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), are lacking, and alternative approaches have been implemented, including training (CT).To determine the impact of CT on quality life measures in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who were seen a hospital neurorehabilitation program.Thirty-nine individuals MCI-PD, according to Movement Disorder Society, randomly distributed into two groups: experimental control group, matched demographic clinical characteristics. Both groups...
OBJETIVOS: Determinar se há evidências de uma relação causal entre forame oval patente (FOP) e acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCI) criptogênico em jovens. Analisar essa à luz dos critérios causalidade. MÉTODOS: Avaliaram-se, retrospectivamente, 168 pacientes jovens com AVCI, divididos dois grupos: causa definida. Como parte da rotina, os foram submetidos a pesquisa FOP por ecocardiograma transesofágico e/ou Doppler transcraniano, ambos associados ao teste bolhas. Demonstrada...
In Brief A multiple sclerosis-like syndrome, also called lupoid sclerosis for having some lupus characteristics, has been described in a few reports. Recently, antiphospholipid antibodies have demonstrated patients with this suggesting that they can participate the etiopathogenic process, which therapeutic implications. We report case of patient previously diagnosed who later presented ANA positivity and antibodies, livedo reticularis, deep venous thrombosis, leading her to be characterized...
A distonia laríngea (disfonia espasmódica) é distúrbio do movimento caracterizado por contrações involuntárias da musculatura envolvida no processo de vocalização. utilização toxina botulínica tratamento trouxe consideráveis benefícios clínicos. Descrevemos os resultados preliminares uso terapêutico em 12 pacientes. Após investigação clínica, pacientes foram submetidos a videolaringoestroboscopia para confirmação diagnóstica e as injeções realizadas através punção membrana cricotireóidea...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a freqüência de forame oval patente (FOP) em pacientes com acidente cerebrovascular isquêmico (AVCI) criptogênico ou causa definida, investigados doppler transcraniano (DTC) e ecocardiograma transesofágico. Paralelamente, examinar validade diagnóstica do primeiro, comparado ao segundo método. MÉTODO: Retrospectivamente, foram estudados 124 (< 51 anos), vítimas AVCI, submetidos DTC Os classificados dois grupos: sem AVCI criptogênico. RESULTADOS: Encontramos importante...
