2. Contribuição ao estudo da pneumonia de aspiração em idosos submetidos à avaliação videofluoroscópica da deglutição
Brazil s geriatric population growth occurs at large rates. Around 32 million people over 60 years old are expected within the next 15 years, which means an increase of chronical disabling diseases that can generate complications associated to oropharyngeal dysphagia. The tendency is that morbidity increased by oropharyngeal dysphagia will amplificate the pr

3. Silent ischaemia in diabetic men with autonomic neuropathy.
Autonomic neuropathy is associated with an increased incidence of silent myocardial infarction and sudden death. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of silent myocardial ischaemia in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy and without. Five standard autonomic function tests were performed on 41 men with diabetes: postural change i

4. Differences in autonomic nerve function in patients with silent and symptomatic myocardial ischaemia.
BACKGROUND--Autonomic neuropathy provides a mechanism for the absence of symptoms in silent myocardial ischaemia, but characterisation of the type of neuropathy is lacking. AIM--To characterise and compare autonomic nerve function in patients with silent and symptomatic myocardial ischaemia. METHODS AND RESULTS--The Valsalva manoeuvre, heart rate variation (

5. EMG analysis of stereotyped voluntary movements in man.
EMG activity was recorded in biceps and triceps while subjects voluntarily flexed their elbows during a visual matching task. With fast flexion, the initial EMG was characterized by a triphasic pattern with a burst of activity first in biceps, then in triceps with a silent period in biceps, and finally in biceps again; these components were analysed quantita

6. Pathophysiology of hemimasticatory spasm.
Two patients aged 21 and 50 years presented with facial hemiatrophy and unilateral spasms of the masticatory muscles. Masticatory muscle biopsy showed normal findings in both patients and facial skin biopsy specimens only showed atrophy, although morphoea (localised facial scleroderma) had been diagnosed nine years previously in the second patient. The invol

7. A study of 159 Portuguese patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) whose parents were both unaffected.
We reviewed 1233 cases of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) from 489 Portuguese families registered at the Centro de Estudos de Paramiloidose, Porto, Portugal. It was found that in 159 cases, neither parent had shown symptoms of this hereditary dominant form of peripheral neuropathy. These cases appear to form a distinct group, with a later age at on
