Global Postural Re-education in non-specific neck and low back pain treatment: A pilot study.

Background: Spinal pain is an important public health issue that brings biopsychosocial problems. Global Postural Re-education (GPR) is one of its treatments.

Objective: Evaluate the effects of GPR on pain, flexibility, and posture of individuals with non-specific low back pain and/or neck pain for more than six weeks.

Latin American and Caribbean consensus on noninvasive central nervous system neuromodulation for chronic pain management (LAC-NIN-CP).

Introduction: Chronic pain (CP) is highly prevalent and generally undertreated health condition. Noninvasive brain stimulation may contribute to decrease pain intensity and influence other aspects related to CP.

Objective: To provide consensus-based recommendations for the use of noninvasive brain stimulation in clinical practice.

Deaf individuals who work with computers present a high level of visual attention.

Unlabelled: Some studies in the literature indicate that deaf individuals seem to develop a higher level of attention and concentration during the process of constructing of different ways of communicating.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of attention in individuals deaf from birth that worked with computers.

Methods: A total of 161 individuals in the 18-25 age group were assessed.

Nutrition-dependent influence of peripheral electrical stimulation during brain development on cortical spreading depression in weaned rats.

As several other factors, nutritional deficiency and sensory input hyperactivation can influence the mammalian brain development. This work investigated the effects of repeated episodes of early peripheral electrostimulation (PE), associated or not with early malnutrition, on cortical spreading depression (CSD) propagation. From postnatal days 7-28, well-nourished and malnourished Wistar rat pups (whose mothers were fed a 23 and 8% protein diet, respectively) received daily sessions of repetitive PE (2 or 60 Hz-square-wave pulses, 1.
