Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord (SCI) are increasingly recognised as global health priorities in view of the preventability most injuries complex expensive medical care they necessitate. We aimed to measure incidence, prevalence, years life lived with disability (YLDs) for TBI SCI from all causes every country, describe how these measures have changed between 1990 2016, estimate proportion cases caused by different types injury.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Dementia is a globally relevant health problem, which places great burden on patients and their families. This study aimed to estimate the associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) other dementias in Brazil. Methods: In this descriptive study, we investigated estimates obtained by Global Burden of Disease study. We described prevalence AD dementias, years lived disability (YLDs), age-standardized mortality, life lost (YLLs), disability-adjusted (DALYs) among individuals...
Myelopathy is a well-established long-term clinical manifestation of HTLV-1 infection. Besides motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment may be another consequence Moreover, inflammatory markers associated with in these patients. The present study compared the performance HAM/TSP patients healthy controls and investigated associations between performance, proviral load blood markers.Eighty-three fulfilling diagnostic criteria for were submitted to comprehensive clinical, functional evaluation,...
INTRODUÇÃO: A mielopatia associada ao retrovírus HTLV-1 (HAM/TSP) é uma doença progressiva e incapacitante. O objetivo deste trabalho determinar características clínico-epidemiológicas de pacientes com HAM/TSP. MÉTODOS: Série casos admitidos 01/1998 a 12/ 2007, em hospital reabilitação utilizando os critérios diagnósticos RESULTADOS: Participaram 206 pacientes, dos quais, 67% eram mulheres, 53 anos média idade, nove duração doença. Os sintomas mais frequentes foram diminuição da força...
HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM/TSP) is the most common neurological manifestation of HTLV-I, causing progressive weakness, sensory disturbance, and sphincter dysfunction. Although motor disorders have been well described, few studies associated cognitive HTLV-I infection. In areas endemic for infection, differential diagnosis between HAM/TSP other etiologies can be difficult, particularly if patient has signs symptoms brain involvement, since seropositive patients present diseases. Here,...

Motor functional neurological disorder (mFND) is a common and disabling condition. There are no evidence-based guidelines for treatment. Long-term outcome often poor. This study describes the epidemiological profile, symptom pattern of patients admitted to Belo Horizonte unit SARAH Network Rehabilitation Hospitals from 1997 2018 with motor symptoms resulting disorder.This retrospective reviewed data 185 who met inclusion criteria mFND. Diagnoses were made by multiple professionals in...

Objectives: Analyze risk factors for progression towards total gait disability in patients with HAM/TSP. Methods: Cohort investigation of clinical-epidemiological characteristics. The outcome variable the study was incapacity to walk. analysis conducted using Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression model. Results: 206 were included, an average time 22.3 years. following variables did not have influence on prognosis: sex, marital status, educational level, presence neuropathic pain, diabetes,...
Abstract Some studies report neurological lesions in patients with genetic skeletal disorders (GSDs). However, none of them describe the frequency a large sample or investigate associations between clinical and/or radiological central nervous system (CNS) injury and clinical, anthropometric imaging parameters. The project was approved by institution’s ethics committee (CAAE 49433215.5.0000.0022). In this cross-sectional observational analysis study, 272 aged four more years clinically...
