Thermographic analysis and autonomic response in the hands of patients with leprosy

An. bras. dermatol; 91 (3), 2016
Abstract: Background: Low temperatures and slow blood flow may result from peripheral neuropathy caused by leprosy, and the simple detection of cold fingers could already be a preliminary classification for these patients. Objective: To investigate whether infrared thermography would be able to measure...

Stimulus electrodiagnosis and motor and functional evaluations during ulnar nerve recovery

BACKGROUND: Distal ulnar nerve injury leads to impairment of hand function due to motor and sensorial changes. Stimulus electrodiagnosis (SE) is a method of assessing and monitoring the development of this type of injury. OBJECTIVE: To identify the most sensitive electrodiagnostic parameters to evalua...

Utilidad de los potenciales evocados somato-sensoriales en el diagnóstico del nivel de lesión medular, en pacientes con trauma raqui-medular
The use of somato-sensorial evoked potentials for diagnosis of the level of spinal cord injuries in patients with spine trauma

Se llevó a cabo un estudio comparativo entre dos grupos de 30 individuos cada uno; el primero se integró con pacientes con trauma raqui-medular, 17 con sección completa y 13 incompleta, y el segundo sirvió como grupo controlo, formado por sujetos sanos voluntarios, con el objeto de determinar la util...

Fisiopatologia da neurite hanseniana
Physiopathology of the neuropathy in leprosy

Arq. bras. neurocir; 8 (2), 1989
A hanseniase é uma enfermedade com potencial de incapacidades físicas das mais notáveis. O comprometimento do sistema nervoso é constante e aproximadamente 30% dos doentes sofrem lesöes neurológicas graves. As manifestaçöes dermatológicas e os estudos bacteriológicos encontram-se bem estabeleci...

Consideraçöes as estruturas anatômicas relacionadas a manutençäo do nervo ulnar ao nível da regiäo posterior do cotovelo
Considerations about the anatomical structures related to the ulnar nerve maintenance at the level of the posterior region of the elbow

Os estudos sobre a luxaçäo do nervo ulnar do cotovelo demonstram a necessidade de um maior conhecimento em relaçäo aos aspectos anatômicos desta regiäo. Com esse objetivo, estudou-se os meios de manutençäo do nervo ulnar na goteira epitrócleo-olecraniana em 50 membros superiores formolizados e a...

Nerve conduction velocity studies on lead workers

Neuroconduction measurements were carried out amongst lead workers and referent groups, the exposed group being surveyed twice with a one year interval between examinations . No dose-effect or dose-response relationships was found between the motor and sensory conduction velocities in the nerves examined...
