13. Behavioral, eletroacoustical and electrophysiological hearing evaluation in non progressive chronic infantile encephalopathy. / Avaliação comportamental, eletroacústica e eletrofisiológica da audição em encefalopatia crônica infantil não evolutiva.
In order to evaluate the hearing of children who have cerebral palsy disease the behavioral, eletroacoustical, electrophysiological evaluations were done in 61 people between three and six years and 11 months old, subdivided in experimental and control group. There were statistically significant differences when comparing the results obtained in both groups,

14. PRECONDITIONING OF ORGAN DONORS WITH LOW LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE REDUCES GRAFT IMMUNOGENICITY AND IMPROVES LONGTERM ALLOGRAFT FUNCTION
Background: Chronic rejection remains the major obstacle for successful transplantation, and to date there is no effective treatment. Events occurring prior to organ transplantation such as brain death, harvesting procedure, and ischemia-reperfusion injury lead to unspecific inflammatory damages danger signals - that increase graft immunogenicity and reduce

15. Avaliação genotóxica de líquido de vesícula e extrato salino da forma metacestódea de Taenia solium e de agentes antiparasitários benzimidazólicos
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by cysticerci of the helminth Taenia solium, which is prevalent in developing countries and re-emerging in affluent societies. This helminth has been associated with brain tumours and haematological malignancies in humans. The possible mechanisms leading

16. Avaliação da capacidade funcional e da qualidade de vida de individuos com acidente vascular encefalico com idade maior ou igual a 55 anos
The stroke is considered one of the main chronic diseases, whose sequels lead to people s dependence and loss of their autonomy. The general objective of the study was to evaluate the functional capability and the quality of life of stroke survivors with more than 55 years and as specific objectives to identify correlations between functional capacity and qu

17. Narcolepsia: muito além do sono; eficácia adaptativa do ego, equilíbrio psíquico e destinações inconscientes / Narcolepsy: way beyond sleep; ego\ s adaptive efficiency, psychological equilibrium and unconscious destinations
Narcolepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks. It affects up to one in a thousand people. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phenomena such as cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations can also occur. The condition impinges on every aspect of life, and can make it difficult for sufferers to

18. The relationship between brain and liver damage in chronic alcoholic patients.
CT scan measures of topographical brain changes, liver status as determined by biopsy, and clinical factors were studied in a group of detoxified chronic alcoholic patients. It was found that greater topographical brain changes were associated with greater severity of liver disease.

19. Collateral Bystander Damage by Myelin-Directed CD8+ T Cells Causes Axonal Loss
Permanent disability of patients suffering from central nervous system (CNS) inflammation such as multiple sclerosis, the most common chronic inflammatory disorder of the CNS, originates mainly from demyelination and axonal damage. Although many studies in the past focused on the role of CD4+ T cells, several recent findings postulate the relevance of autoag

20. Visual evoked responses in chronic alcoholics.
Visual evoked responses (VERs) were recorded on 52 chronic alcoholics patients without Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, 22 of whom had cerebellar ataxia, and eight chronic alcoholics with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Abnormal VERs were found in 23% of patients without and 37% of patients with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. The main VER abnormalities of all the alc

21. Evaluation of the Q16 questionnaire on neurotoxic symptoms and a review of its use.
OBJECTIVES: The questionnaire 16 (Q16) is commonly used to study prevalences of neurotoxic symptoms among workers exposed to organic solvents. It has also been recommended that exposed workers reporting more than six symptoms should be referred for further examination of possible chronic toxic encephalopathy. It would be useful to know whether symptoms repor

22. A Craniotomy Surgery Procedure for Chronic Brain Imaging
Imaging techniques are becoming increasingly important in the study brain function. Among them, two-photon laser scanning microscopy has emerged as an extremely useful method, because it allows the study of the live intact brain. With appropriate preparations, this technique allows the observation of the same cortical area chronically, from minutes to months

23. Perivascular iron deposition and other vascular damage in multiple sclerosis.
Evidence of damage to cerebral vein walls was sought in 70 cases of multiple sclerosis. Seventy control cases were also examined. The multiple sclerosis cases showed venous intramural fibrinoid deposition (7%), recent haemorrhages (17%), old haemorrhages revealed by haemosiderin deposition (30%), thrombosis (6%) and thickened veins (19%). In all, 41% of all

24. Reversal of age-related increase in brain protein oxidation, decrease in enzyme activity, and loss in temporal and spatial memory by chronic administration of the spin-trapping compound N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone.
Oxygen free radicals and oxidative events have been implicated as playing a role in bringing about the changes in cellular function that occur during aging. Brain readily undergoes oxidative damage, so it is important to determine if aging-induced changes in brain may be associated with oxidative events. Previously we demonstrated that brain damage caused by
