Introduction: Persistent spinal pain syndrome (PSPS) type 2 is a chronic condition characterized by low back pain, with or without radiating limb persisting after surgery. The underlying pathophysiology remains unclear, potential contributions from altered central processing mechanisms. Objective: This study investigates the role of sensitization in PSPS using contact heat-evoked potentials (CHEPs), an electrophysiological tool for assessing spinothalamic tract integrity and processing....
Bruns-Garland Syndrome (BGS), also known as diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLRPN) or amyotrophy, is a rare complication causing progressive muscle weakness, neuropathic pain, and functional impairment. It primarily affects individuals with long-standing type II diabetes, an underlying mechanism of microvasculitis-induced ischemic injury to the plexus, leading axonal loss neurogenic atrophy. We present case 73-year-old physician diabetes who developed thigh weakness sensory...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a public health concern in Brazil, with deleterious effects on quality of life and increasing mortality rates. The prevalence diabetes Brazil the rise, it imperative to understand its rates last two decades order effectively mitigate detrimental impact health. This study aims analyze trends related from 2000 2021, encompassing both type 1 2 diabetes, across sex various age cohorts. Using joinpoint regression analysis, temporal were assessed, while also incorporating...
Neuropathic pain is a challenging condition. Despite the immense progress made in pathophysiology and treatment of such conditions, so much work still has to be done. New frontiers previously unexplored are now objects study with exciting results, mainly regarding neuromodulation optogenetics. This review explores already known clinical surgical light evidence-based medicine. Additionally, new concepts insights discussed, presenting hope for development paradigms neuropathic pain.
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provoked disruptions in healthcare delivery, leading to the cancellation and postponement of various health services, including surgery. Numerous countries closed their borders established laws mandating use face masks social distancing enforced lockdowns, activities were constrained. Brazil, largest most populous country Latin America, also experienced a rapid sustained surge infections deaths. Brazil was severely impacted nation...
Introduction Renal failure, comprising acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic disease (CKD), involves a decline or loss of function. AKI is sudden reversible, with rapid in function over hours to days, while CKD persistent abnormalities lasting at least three months. Developing countries are seeing rise cases, especially critically ill patients. Globally, there's growing occurrence mortality rate linked CKD. Methods The study used retrospective cross-sectional design analyze rates Brazil from...
Neuropathic pain (NP), resulting from damage to the somatosensory system, is characterized by either spontaneous or evoked pain. In context of NP, wherein aberrant signaling pathways contribute perception pain, thalamus emerges as a key player. This structure integral network that includes connections dorsal horn spinal cord, highlighting its role in affective-motivational aspects perception. Given significant involvement, targeted advanced treatments such thalamotomy and deep brain...
Abstract Poor rangeland management, especially overstocking and under-burning coupled with climate change on southern African savannas, have brought about a serious ecological problem of bush encroachment. Bush encroachment leads to many implications such as extirpation or extinction plant species colonisation by opportunistic leading unwanted changes in composition, structure loss diversity. Furthermore, has negative impact the country’s progress terms conservation efforts, economic...
Background Cerebrovascular disease is the second leading cause of death and third disability following heart disease. In 2019, there were over 101 million people living with a stroke 12.2 incidents globally. For past three decades, has remained in Brazil, causing 100,000 fatalities annually, along numerous functional impairments among those who survive. The Brazilian healthcare system witnessed notable advancements last decade, including establishment additional hospitals rise count...
Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a chronic cardiovascular condition stemming from an infectious origin, posing substantial health burden, particularly in economically disadvantaged regions. It starts with acute rheumatic fever (ARF), complication following group A Streptococcus infection, leading to valve damage and, over time, structural abnormalities. RHD contributes premature deaths, especially low-middle-income countries. Although the incidence and prevalence have generally...
