Strategies for the optimized use of neuroimaging in patients with head trauma cranial: update

Rev. méd. Maule; 34 (1), 2019
INTRODUCTION: Introduction of current neuroimaging technologies has been essential for the agile and effective diagnosis of cranial brain injuries. However, for various reasons there is a tendency to indiscriminate use. A review of the topic was made aimed at providing an update on the recommended strate...

Predictive value of transcranial doppler ultrasound for cerebral small vessel disease in elderly patients

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (5), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the predictive value of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound for cerebral small vessel disease in elderly patients. Methods: Transcranial Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed on 184 elderly patients with cerebral small vessel disease...

Research progress in ultrasound use for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
Cerebrovascular diseases pose a serious threat to human survival and quality of life and represent a major cause of human death and disability. Recently, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases has increased yearly. Rapid and accurate diagnosis and evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases are of great im...

Clinical and hematological profile in a newborn cohort with hemoglobin SC

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (6), 2018
Abstract Objectives: Hemoglobin SC is the second most common variant of sickle-cell disease worldwide, after hemoglobin SS. The objectives of the study were to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of hemoglobin SC disease in children from a newborn screening program and treated at a bloo...

Is transcranial sonography useful for diagnosing Parkinson's disease in clinical practice?

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (7), 2018
ABSTRACT Transcranial sonography (TCS) is an emerging ancillary examination for diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective To evaluate TCS features in patients with PD and its mimics, and establish their accuracy in predicting the final clinical diagnosis after follow-up. Methods We retrospective...

Genetic, laboratory and clinical risk factors in the development of overt ischemic stroke in children with sickle cell disease

ABSTRACT Cerebrovascular disease, particularly stroke, is one of the most severe clinical complications associated with sickle cell disease and is a significant cause of morbidity in both children and adults. Over the past two decades, considerable advances have been made in the understanding of its natu...

Cerebrospinal fluid drainage options for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in premature neonates

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (7), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective The literature describes various cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage techniques to alleviate posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm newborns; however, consensus has not been reached. The scope of this study was describing a case series of premature neonates with posthemorrhagic hydr...

Interleukin-10 haplotypes are not associated with acute cerebral ischemia or high-risk transcranial Doppler in a newborn cohort of 395 children with sickle cell anemia

ABSTRACT Background: The etiology of stroke, a severe complication of sickle cell anemia, involves inflammatory processes. However, the pathogenetic mechanisms are unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of interleukin-10 polymorphisms and haplotypes on the risk of acute cerebral is...

Patients with sickle cell disease are frequently excluded from the benefits of transcranial doppler screening for the risk of stroke despite extensive and compelling evidence

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Transcranial doppler (TCD) is a strategic component of primary stroke prevention in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). This study was conducted to examine the TCD characteristics of children with SCD in nine different medical centers in Brazil. Methods: Transcranial doppler was performed ...

O papel do DOPPLER da artéria cerebral média nos fetos com Crescimento Restrito Tardio

Femina; 44 (4), 2016
Ocrescimento intrauterino restrito (CIUR) é uma inibição patológica do crescimento fetal, acometendo 5-10% das gestações e está associado ao aumento da morbimortalidade perinatal. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão não sistemática sobre os eventos adversos perinatais dos fetos ...
