Abstract Background Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) is a group of inflammatory diseases characterized by the presence antibodies against neuronal and glial antigens, leading to subacute psychiatric symptoms, memory complaints, movement disorders. The patients are predominantly young, delays in treatment associated with worse prognosis. Objective With support Brazilian Academy Neurology (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia, ABN) Society Child (Sociedade Neurologia Infantil, SBNI), consensus on...
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to describe a case series of Brazilian new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) patients and evaluate the sensitivity specificity clinical score predict cryptogenic etiology (c‐NORSE score) after autoimmune encephalitis (AE) testing. Methods Thirty‐seven with NORSE from Autoimmune Encephalitis Network were investigated brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, complementary testing tissue‐based assays...
The frequency of antibodies in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) may vary different populations, however, data from developing countries are lacking. To describe the clinical profile AIE Brazil, and to evaluate seasonality predictors adult pediatric patients.We evaluated patients with possible 17 centers Brazilian Autoimmune Encephalitis Network (BrAIN) between 2018 2022. CSF serum were tested TBAs CBAs. Data on presentation, complementary investigation, treatment compiled. Seasonality...
Abstract Over the last three decades, stroke care has undergone significant transformations mainly driven by introduction of reperfusion therapy and organization systems care. Patients receiving treatment through a well-structured service have much higher chance favorable outcomes, thereby decreasing both disability mortality. In this article, we reviewed scientific evidence for therapy, including thrombolysis thrombectomy, its implementation in public health system Brazil.
Abstract Background The delay in recognizing stroke symptoms is a significant obstacle to receiving acute treatment. Therefore, it essential understand the gaps knowledge about among general population and promote campaigns based on these gaps. Objective To investigate capital Northeastern Brazil sample of individuals who attended public hospital impacts coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic use emergency services. Methods We included patients older than 18 years age their family...
Adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccines are extensively used in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Remarkably, cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (CVST-VITT) have rarely been reported from LMICs.We studied the frequency, manifestations, treatment, outcomes CVST-VITT report data an international registry on CVST after vaccination. VITT was classified according Pavord criteria. We compared LMICs high-income (HICs).Until August...
There is little information available on stroke epidemiology in the northeast of Brazil.Our objective was to investigate prevalence subtypes, cerebrovascular risk factors and patterns management a public neurovascular outpatient referral service, Alagoas.Data were prospectively collected from consecutive patients with who treated specialized clinic between November 2016 June 2018. Recurrence evaluated by telephone 12 months after had been included study.We 190 (mean age, 60.22 ( 13.29 years;...
Abstract Background There is limited data available regarding the prevalence of intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) among acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients in Brazil and Latin America. Objective The present study sought to investigate frequency predictors ICAS with AIS or transient attack (TIA) a Brazilian center, transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) technique. Methods Consecutive TIA patients, admitted an academic public comprehensive center from February December 2014,...
Stroke is the principal cause of disability around world and ensuing functional dependence (FD) can be correlated with different factors.To determine how demographic factors clinical characteristics after stroke distinguish patients who achieve independence from those do not.Observational study at specialized neurovascular clinic in Alagoas, Brazil.FD was classified according to modified Rankin scale (mRs): 0 2 points were as independent (FD-), 3 5 dependent (FD+). Logistic regression...
