Dataset on bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome: Crossover study of two combined physiotherapeutic treatment methods on chirurgical and clinical patients.

This study presents a randomized controlled crossover experiment involving 73 patients with idiopathic bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Patients received two combined physiotherapeutic treatments: myofascial mobilization (IASTM) and stretching. Participants were divided into two groups: one started with stretching followed by IASTM, and the other with IASTM followed by stretching.

Bilateral Idiopathic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Clinical-Functional Characterization and Efficacy of Two Combined Postoperative Physiotherapeutic Treatments.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of combined association instrument myofascial mobilization (IASTM) and stretching in patients with idiopathic bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) operated on one hand and to analyze the response of the operated (OH) and non-operated (NH) hand according to the sequence of therapies. Research on these parameters has not yet been found in the literature.

Methods: Randomized controlled crossover study with 43 participants using the objective and subjective outcome variables.

T1-weighted gradient-echo imaging, with and without inversion recovery, in the identification of anatomical structures on the lateral surface of the brain.

Objective: To compare brain structures using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging with isotropic resolution, in T1-weighted gradient-echo (GRE) acquisition, with and without inversion recovery (IR).

Materials And Methods: From 30 individuals, we evaluated 120 blocks of images of the left and right cerebral hemispheres being acquired by T1 GRE and by T1 IR GRE. On the basis of the Naidich et al.

Brainstem cavernomas: a surgical challenge.

Objective: The authors show their experience with brainstem cavernomas, comparing their data with the ones of a literature review.

Methods: From 1998 to 2009, 13 patients harboring brainstem cavernomas underwent surgical resection. All plain films, medical records and images were reviewed in order to sample the most important data regarding epidemiology, clinical picture, radiological findings and surgical outcomes, as well as main complications.

Genetic polymorphisms associated with the development and clinical course of multiple sclerosis (review).

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by areas of inflammation, demyelination and axonal damage. The etiology of MS is multifactorial with an interaction between genetic, environmental and geographical factors. The objective of this study was to review the physiopathology and the genetic polymorphisms associated with the development and clinical course of MS.
