Department of Gynecoligic Oncology, Institute of Teaching and Research and Barretos Cancer Hospital-Pio XII Foundation, Barretos, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The patient underwent antibiotic treatment to stabilize her condition but was not suitable for radical nephrectomy due to her other kidney’s poor function; she eventually required outpatient hemodialysis which managed her symptoms.
- The patient passed away 7.7 months after being admitted and 1 month after starting treatment, highlighting the need for tailored treatment for cancer patients and the necessity of further research to understand and prevent this condition.
Success of lateral cervical spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of chronic neuropathic refractory pain.
Surg Neurol Int
February 2022
Department of Neurology, Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is traditionally performed by implanting surgical leads along the midline of the spinal cord, over the dorsal columns. Here, we present a patient who successfully underwent lateral cervical SCS to treat chronic refractory neuropathic pain.
Methods: A 46-year-old female, with a schwannoma involving the right axillary nerve, presented with a chronic refractory right upper extremity pain syndrome.

Division of Nephrology, University of São Paulo School of Medicine, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in APOE, the gene which encodes apolipoprotein E. LPG mainly affects Asian individuals, however occasional cases have also been described in Americans and Europeans. Herein we report two unrelated Brazilian patients with LPG in whom genetic analyses revealed the APOE-Osaka/Kurashiki variant.

Surg Neurol Int
June 2021
Department of Neurology, Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, Sorocaba, Brazil.
Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytic proliferative disorder classically as a massive cervical lymphadenopathy. However, over the years, extranodal locations were confirmed with the central nervous system involvement in less than 5% of cases, which is marked as a significant differential diagnosis of meningiomas, with which they are widely confused due to the similarity of their radiological images.
Case Description: We report a 37-year-old man and 45-year-old man who were diagnosed with intracranial RDD but whose radiological images mimic meningiomas, requiring anatomopathological and tumor's immunohistochemistry for definitive diagnosis.

An unusual case of lead migration in occipital nerve stimulation: A case report and literature review.
Surg Neurol Int
April 2021
Department of Neurosurgery, Santa Paula Hospital, São Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- A 30-year-old woman with severe occipital neuralgia experienced lead migration after starting occipital nerve stimulation therapy, attributed to fibrosis in the stress relief loop.
- Upon surgery to reposition the lead, extensive fibrosis was found, which increased tension on the lead and caused it to migrate.
- This case highlights a rare cause of lead migration, emphasizing the need for understanding its mechanisms to improve treatment outcomes.
A pragmatic multi-center trial of goal-directed fluid management based on pulse pressure variation monitoring during high-risk surgery.
BMC Anesthesiol
May 2017
Divisão de Anestesia, Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Av. Enéas Carvalho de Aguiar, 255 2° andar, Cerqueira César, 05403-900, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Background: Intraoperative fluid therapy guided by mechanical ventilation-induced pulse-pressure variation (PPV) may improve outcomes after major surgery. We tested this hypothesis in a multi-center study.
Methods: The patients were included in two periods: a first control period (control group; n = 147) in which intraoperative fluids were given according to clinical judgment.
