O artigo apresenta uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre a cirurgia robótica no tratamento do câncer colorretal, destacando que, embora essa técnica oferece inovações tecnológicas significativas—como visão tridimensional, maior precisão, instrumentos articulados e ergonomia superior—e vantagens em cenários desafiadores (por exemplo, pelves estreitas pacientes obesos), os resultados oncológicos funcionais, tanto curto quanto longo prazo, tendem ser comparáveis aos obtidos com...
A DBS tem evoluído de uma abordagem para transtornos do movimento, como Parkinson, potencial terapia doenças neurodegenerativas, incluindo Alzheimer. Avanços tecnológicos, eletrodos direcionais e algoritmos estimulação, melhoraram a precisão reduziram efeitos adversos. Revisões sistemáticas ensaios clínicos indicam que pode modular circuitos cerebrais envolvidos na cognição memória, mas falta padronização nos parâmetros estimulação limita sua aplicabilidade. Enquanto estudos sugerem...
With the aging of population, more patients have complained pain due to knee Osteoarthritis (OA), and number arthroplasties has also increased.

In cross-sectional study, with OA arthroplasty present institution were evaluated using detection questionnaire Visual Analog Pain (VAS) scale measure index presence associated pain. addition, evaluation life...
<h3>Background</h3> Joint involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the earliest manifestation disease (1).Only 2–5% cases develop a deforming and non-erosive type arthritis, known as Jaccoud Arthropathy (JA). Until now, there no serum autoantibodies marker for it (2).The chemokine CXC ligand 13 protein (CXCL13) most potent B-cell chemo attractants constitutively expressed follicles secondary lymphoid organs (3). Its seric level has been associated to degree synovitis...
