Transcranial Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Cognitive Rehabilitation of Patients with Cranioencephalic Trauma.

Photobiomodul Photomed Laser Surg

October 2019

Stricto Sensu Program Master and Doctorate in Biomedical Engineering, Anhembi Morumbi University, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brasil.

This research evaluated the hemodynamic conditions before and after the transcranial photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and investigated neurocognitive changes before and after treatment. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality among individuals 21-60 years old and causes ∼500,000 people to be hospitalized in Brazil annually. Some survivors develop an irreversible decrease in neurological function, and the mortality rate is as high as 70% in severe cases.

Background: The world's population is progressively ageing, and this trend imposes several challenges to society and governments. The aim of this study was to investigate the burden generated by the hospitalisation of older (60 years) compared with non-older population, as well as the epidemiology of these hospital admissions.

Methods: Using the Brazilian Unified Health System (known as 'Sistema Único de Saúde' (SUS)), an analysis of all hospital admissions of adult patients in the SUS from 2009 to 2015 was undertaken.

Background: Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most important causes of patient discomfort after laparoscopic surgeries despite the use of a multimodal pharmacological approach. This study assessed whether the addition of aprepitant to a multimodal regimen would further decrease the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients.

Methods: Apfel-score three or four patients, scheduled for laparoscopic procedures to treat abdominal or pelvic cancer, were randomized to receive oral starch (control group) or 80 mg of oral aprepitant (treatment group) before induction of anaesthesia in a double-blind study.

Background: Dermatology is primarily an outpatient clinical and surgical specialty, but substantial numbers of patients are admitted to hospital for inpatient treatment in dermatology wards.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients admitted to dermatology beds between September 1, 2002, and September 30, 2010. Patient data were analyzed for age, gender, ethnicity, length of stay (LoS), dermatologic disease, comorbidities, hospital-acquired infection (HAI), transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU), and mortality.

Background: The potential involvement of SRY in abnormal gonadal development in 45,X/46,X,der(Y) patients was proposed following the identification of SRY mutations in a few patients with Turner syndrome (TS). However, its exact etiological role in gonadal dysgenesis in patients with Y chromosome mosaicisms has not yet been clarified.

Aims: it was the aim of this study to screen for allelic variation in SRY in a large cohort of patients with disorders of sex development due to chromosomal abnormalities with 45,X/46,X,der(Y) karyotype.

Clinical approaches to preserve beta-cell function in diabetes.

June 2010

Endocrine Service and Diabetes and Heart Center of the Heart Institute, Hospital das, Clinicas of The University of São Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, SP 05403-000, Brazil.

In type 2 diabetes (DM2) there is progressive deterioration in beta-cell function and mass. It was found that islet function was about 50% of normal at the time of diagnosis and reduction in beta-cell mass of about 60% at necropsy (accelerated apoptosis). Among the interventions to preserve the beta-cells, those to lead to short-term improvement of beta-cell secretion are weight loss, metformin, sulfonylureas, and insulin.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between pattern electroretinogram (PERG) amplitude, macular and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field (VF) loss on standard automated perimetry (SAP) in eyes with temporal hemianopia from chiasmal compression.

Methods: Forty-one eyes from 41 patients with permanent temporal VF defects from chiasmal compression and 41 healthy subjects underwent transient full-field and hemifield (temporal or nasal) stimulation PERG, SAP and time domain-OCT macular and RNFL thickness measurements. Comparisons were made using Student's t-test.

Objective: To evaluate the role of glycemic control in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: We review the literature regarding coronary atherosclerosis, coronary artery calcification, and the epidemiologic studies related to the role of glycemia and the classic risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 1 DM.

Results: Four prospective studies (Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy, EURODIAB, Steno Diabetes Center Study of Adults With Type 1 DM, and Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications study) do not show that glycemic control predicts CAD occurrence.
