1. Association between neurological injury and the severity of oropharyngeal dysphagia after stroke
ABSTRACT Purpose To associate the degree of biomechanical impairment in the swallowing process with the severity (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale – NIHSS) and type of neurological injury in patients post stroke. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted with 42 patients (22 females), aged 65.7 years on average diagnosed with stroke

2. Effect of melatonin on the functional recovery from experimental traumatic compression of the spinal cord
Spinal cord injury is an extremely severe condition with no available effective therapies. We examined the effect of melatonin on traumatic compression of the spinal cord. Sixty male adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups: sham-operated animals and animals with 35 and 50% spinal cord compression with a polycarbonate rod spacer. Each group was divid

3. A escala de coma de Glasgow como indicador de mortalidade e qualidade de vida em vítimas de trauma cranioencefálico contuso / The Glasgow coma scale as an indicator of mortality and quality of Life in victims with blunt traumatic brain injury
The consequences of blunt traumatic brain injury go beyond high mortality to include, modifications in physical, cognitive and behavioral aspects, thus altering the Quality of Life of the victims. The Glasgow Coma Scale is scientifically recognized as a potential indicator to estimate prognosis and predict short and long term outcomes of blunt traumatic brai

4. Reabilitação Fonoaudiológica da Disfagia em pacientes pediátricos com tumor encefálico / Speech patology therapy of the dysphagia in pediatric patients with brain tumors
Objective: To verify the efficacy of the dysphagia therapy performed by speech pathologists in pediatric patients with brain tumors using the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS; Crary et al, 2005). Materials and Methods: The sample consisted children and adolescents with central nervous system tumors (23 male and 8 female), ages ranging from 11 months to 22

5. Survival probability: comparison of the results of trauma and injury severity score (TRISS) and its new version (NTRISS) / Probabilidade de sobrevida: comparação dos resultados do trauma and injury severity score (TRISS) com sua nova versão (NTRISS)
Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) é um índice que permite calcular probabilidade de sobrevida de pacientes traumatizados. Para seu cálculo são necessárias as informações: idade; tipo de trauma - penetrante ou contuso; valor do Revised Trauma Score (RTS); e pontuação do Injury Severity Score (ISS). Em 1997 foi realizada uma revisão do ISS com

6. Characterization of traffic accident and trauma severity: a study on victims in a Natal/RN Emergency Hospital Natal/RN / Caracterização do acidente de trânsito e gravidade do trauma: um estudo em vítimas de um hospital de emergência de Natal
Descriptive exploratory study, with quantitative approach and prospective data performed on the Monsenhor Walfredo Gurgel Hospital Complex (MWGH), in Natal/RN, aiming to classify the type of motor vehicle involved in the accident, the public roadways user quality and the more frequent injuries; to evaluate the severity of trauma in traffic accident victims;

7. Analysis of the sensitivity and reproducibility of the Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan (BBB) scale in wistar rats
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sensitivity and reproducibility of the Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan functional scale in the assessment of the locomotor capacity of rats after spinal cord injury. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats underwent laminectomy and mild, moderate or severe spinal cord contusions using the New York University Weight Drop Impactor. The mice were

8. "Análise da sensibilidade e reprodutibilidade da escala de Basso, Beattie e Bresnahan (BBB) em ratos Wistar" / Analysis of sensitivity and reproducibility of the Basso,Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) Scale on rats
An assessment of the sensitivity and reproducibility of the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan functional scale (BBB scale) was carried out, to evaluate the locomotion capacity following spinal cord injury. The BBB scale is a predictive procedure based on specific observational criteria of the locomotion of the animal under way, which attributes a sequential and c

9. Vasopression serum levels and disorders of sodium and water balance in patients with severe brain injury / Niveis sericos de arginina vasopressina e disturbios de sodio e agua em pacientes com lesão cerebral grave
Background. Disorders of sodium and water balance, especially those secondary to diabetes insipidus (DI), syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH) and cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS), are frequently seen in patients with severe brain injury (SBI), either traumatic or non-traumatic, and may jeopardize their prognosis. Many authors have su

10. Use of neuron-specific enolase for assessing the severity and outcome of neurological disorders in patients
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a glycolytic enzyme present almost exclusively in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. NSE levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are assumed to be useful to estimate neuronal injury and clinical outcome of patients with serious clinical manifestations such as those observed in stroke, head injury, anoxic encephalopathy, encephalit

11. The neurobehavioural rating scale: assessment of the behavioural sequelae of head injury by the clinician.
To investigate the inter-rater reliability and validity of the Neurobehavioural Rating Scale at various stages of recovery after hospitalisation for closed head injury, we studied 101 head trauma patients who had no antecedent neuropsychiatric disorder. The results demonstrated satisfactory inter-rater reliability and showed that the Neurobehavioural Rating

12. Assessment of the severity of head injury.
Ranking of head injuries by severity is an essential part of clinical management, of prognosis, of treatment trials, and of legal assessment for compensation. Various methods of assessing severity are reviewed. No one scale is appropriate for all types of injury, or in all circumstances. A check list is provided which should enable every injury to be assesse
