1. The effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (r-TMS) over the motor cortex on complex regional pain syndrome patients / Os efeitos da estimulação magnética transcraniana repetitiva (EMTr) aplicada sobre o córtex motor de pacientes com síndrome complexa de dor regional
Introdução e objetivos: Estudos recentes sugerem que a estimulação magnética transcraniana repetitiva (EMTr) aplicada sobre o córtex motor é eficaz no tratamento analgésico de doentes com dor crônica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da aplicação da EMTr sobre o córtex motor, utilizada como co-intervenção terapêutica no tratament

3. Spontaneous enterogastric reflux gastritis and esophagitis.
Enterogastric reflux gastritis and esophagitis is best known after gastric resections and pyloroplasty but it also occurs spontaneously in the nonoperated patient. Forty-two patients are presented who meet the criteria for the diagnosis: constant burning epigastric pain, worse after meals, unrelieved by antacids and diet; endoscopic demonstration of a gastri

4. Oxcarbazepine: a new drug in the management of intractable trigeminal neuralgia.
The efficacy and tolerability of oxcarbazepine, a keto derivative of carbamazepine, has been assessed in six patients (two males, four females; mean age 61 years, range 42-77), with trigeminal neuralgia refractory to carbamazepine therapy, over a period of 6 months. An excellent therapeutic response to oxcarbazepine was seen in all patients with pain control

5. Combined suppressive drug treatment in severe refractory rheumatoid disease: an analysis of the relative effects of parenteral methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide, and sodium aurothiomalate.
A trial was designed to assess the effects of intramuscular sodium aurothiomalate or intravenous cyclophosphamide, or both, in combination with intravenous 'pulse' methylprednisolone in severe intractable rheumatoid arthritis. Thirteen patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis, unresponsive to conventional therapeutic regimens showed improvement in s

6. Effects of spinal cord stimulation on myocardial ischaemia during daily life in patients with severe coronary artery disease. A prospective ambulatory electrocardiographic study.
BACKGROUND--Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may be a useful additional therapy for pain in patients with therapeutically refractory angina pectoris. But doubts remain about whether it also relieves ischaemia. METHODS--Indices of ischaemia were studied with and without SCS in 10 patients with otherwise intractable angina and evidence of myocardial ischaemia on
