13. Neuromotor and funcional outcomes of patients with sicle cell disease and ischemic stroke / Avaliação neuromotora e funcional de pacientes com doença falciforme e acidente vascular cerebral
Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) have a high risk for stroke with important neurological sequelae. Many authors have been pointing the neuropsychological impairment but not the motor and functional deficits. The aim of this study was to assess patients with (SCD) and stroke comparing with patients with SCD without stroke. We pre-selected patients with

14. Meningites Bacterianas Agudas em crianças e adolescentes: Fatores de risco para óbito ou seqüelas precoces
Objetive: To identify possible risk factors associate with poor prognosis among children and teenagers with acute bacterial meningitis Methods: Prevalence study with casecontrol analysis by review of medical records of patients aged 1 month to 19 years admitted to Tropical Disease Hospital in Goiânia Goiás with acute bacterial meningitis from 1 january 199

15. Detecção e monitorização do herpevirus humano tipo 6 (HHV-6) e do citomegalovirus humano (HCMV) em pacientes transplantados hepaticos
The human lymphotropic herpesvíros that included cytomegalovírus (HCMV), and the herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6 A and B) are very common and infect the vast majority of the human population. Both viruses belong to the Herpesviridae family. In this family, the HHV-6, subfamily Betaherpesvirinae, is wath possessing the bigger neurologic potential pathogenic. The HHV-6

16. Clinical neuropsychomotor follow up of high neurological risk children / Acompanhamento neuropsicomotor ambulatorial de crianças de alto risco neurológico
Enfatizar a prevenção de distúrbios neuropsicomotores torna-se fundamental à medida que os avanços em obstetrícia e neonatologia promovem maior sobrevivência de bebês de risco. Ambulatórios de Alto Risco em Neonatologia têm sido implementados para proporcionar o acompanhamento dessas crianças, em que geralmente há predomínio de fatores de risco

17. Correção dos Aneurismas da Aorta Torácica e Toracoabdominal: Técnica de Canulação Central.
Introduction: The surgical treatment of the aneurysm of descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta are related with risk of spinal cord ischemic, as well as, coagulation and renal function disorders. Among the spinal cord protection methods, there are liquor drainage, temporary bypass, intercostal arteries implant, deep hypothermia, selective cooling of

18. Blunt carotid injury. Importance of early diagnosis and anticoagulant therapy.
OBJECTIVE: The incidence, associated injury pattern, diagnostic factors, risk for adverse outcome, and efficacy of anticoagulant therapy in the setting of blunt and carotid injury (BCI) were evaluated. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Blunt carotid injury is considered uncommon. The authors believe that it is underdiagnosed. Outcome is thought to be compromised by d

19. Use of Selective Hypothermia to Protect the Spinal Cord during Resection of Thoracoabdominal Aneurysms
Neurologic complications remain a threat to patients after repair of thoracoabdominal thoracic aneurysms. We have recently used a simple technique of selective hypothermia during such repairs in 7 high-risk patients. None of the patients had neurologic complications. In the 1st patient, we used cardiopulmonary bypass, but we have subsequently found that the

20. Nissen fundoplication in children with profound neurologic disability. High risks and unmet goals.
Anti-reflux procedures have been advocated in children with profound neurologic disability referred for feeding gastrostomy when gastroesophageal reflux is present. Facilitation of care, reduction in pneumonia and vomiting, and improvement in the general health and survival of these children have been major goals of fundoplication and gastrostomy. In large p

21. Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy
Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) accounts for 7–17% of deaths among people with epilepsy. Both cardiac and pulmonary derangement have been postulated as proximate causes. Patients with uncontrolled seizures are at greatest risk for SUDEP, and experiencing tonic-clonic seizures, taking multiple antiepileptic drugs and having coexisting neurologi

22. A no-touch technique for calcified ascending aorta during coronary artery surgery.
Despite improvements in cardiovascular surgery techniques over the years, the incidence of neurologic complications has not declined, and stroke remains a possible (and devastating) sequela to coronary artery surgery. In this report, we describe a moderate hypothermic fibrillatory arrest technique that avoids cross-clamping or otherwise touching the aorta; u

23. Neurologic complications of cardiac transplantation.
Between 1984 and 1989, orthotopic cardiac transplantations were done in 90 patients from 10 to 65 years of age for end-stage, refractory congestive cardiomyopathy. Two patients had had ischemic strokes 5 months and 18 years, respectively, before transplantation. Six patients (7%) suffered acute neurologic events perioperatively. Three patients suffered cereb

24. Dexamethasone and bacterial meningitis. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
A meta-analysis of 5 randomized, controlled trials using dexamethasone as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of bacterial meningitis in children was done to assess the efficacy in reducing sequelae. A 6th study including both children and adults was analyzed separately. Results of the 5 pediatric studies indicated no significant difference in case-fatality
