Comparative study of chronic TLE patients using structural and metabolic MRI me...

Chemical-shift imaging (CSI) has been applied to the evaluation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), but few comparisons have been made between the data obtained from quantitative structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the accuracy of CSI to identify pathological changes within the hippocampus. Our goal was to determine the discriminative capability of CSI h...

Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Chronic Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: sensitivity analy...

Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a common lesion encountered in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).Studies with quantitative magnetic resonance (MRI) and chemical-shift imaging (CSI) have found widespreadstructural and metabolic changes along the entire length of the hippocampus. The aim of this study was to investigate diffusion changes interictally in patients with chronic TLE ca...

Effects of lower limb strengthening on balance and function in persons who suff...

Introduction - Cerebrovascular diseases, and among them, cerebral vascular accidents, are one of the main causes of morbidity and disability at European Union countries. Clinical framework resulting from these diseases include important limitations in functional ability of the these patients Postural control dysfunctions are one of the most common and devastating consequences of a stroke interfering with functi...

Knee muscle strength, balance and functional independence in persons with stroke

Purpose: to investigate the relationship between knee muscle strength, balance and functional independence within the first month after stroke. Relevance: cerebral vascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity, disability and mortality in developed countries. Problems with movement control are frequent after stroke. Lower limb weakness and impaired balance are common problems that are related with the...

Muscle strength, balance and functional independence in persons with stroke

Cerebral vascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity, disability and mortality in developed countries. Problems with movement control are frequent after stroke. Lower limb weakness and impaired balance are common problems that are related with the risk of falls and are likely to interfere with the ability to perform daily life activities. Physiotherapy intervention usually starts early after stroke ...

Qualidade físico-química e de fritura de tubérculos de cultivares de batata na ...

Com o aumento do consumo de batata processada na forma de fritura, torna-se essencial a identificação dos parâmetros de qualidade dos tubérculos de batata. Objetivou-se avaliar a composição físico-química e qualidade de fritura de tubérculos de cultivares de batata, produzidos na safra de inverno. Os tubérculos foram provenientes de experimento de campo conduzido durante a safra de inverno de 2008, no município...

Relationship of balance to function independence in stroke survivors

Cerebral vascular disease is the primary cause of permanent disability in Portugal. Impaired stability is considered an important feature after stroke as it is related with higher risk of falls and functional dependence. Physiotherapy intervention usually starts early after stroke in order to direct motor recovery and help patients to improve their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). Purpose: t...

Equilíbrio e funcionalidade após acidente vascular cerebral

As doenças vasculares cerebrais constituem a principal causa de incapacidade permanente em Portugal, reflectindo-se na funcionalidade dos indivíduos. Após um Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) são frequentes as alterações posturais, não apenas no que respeita a capacidade para manter uma postura estática mas também a capacidade para mover dentro da base de sustentação sem ocorrência de quedas. O presente trabalho...

Relative Frequency of Nosocomial Microorganisms at Unicamp University Hospital ...

The frequency of microorganisms identified in nosocomial infections at Unicamp University Hospital from 1987 to 1994 was analysed. The most common microorganism was S. aureus (20.9%), which was found in surgical wound, bloodstream and arterial-venous infections. In urinary tract infections (UTI), gram-negative rods (56.5%) and yeasts (9%) predominated. A. baumannii isolates were observed to have increased in th...
