Musical autobiographies consist of a powerful therapeutic tool by which individuals define themselves. The use of this technique may help (re)construction personal identities and improve quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Eight adult patients on treatment at CIEM Multiple Sclerosis Investigation Center after selecting 10 to 15 pieces of music most significant in their lives were interviewed. The data collected were classified according to Even Rudd categories, which reveal how ...

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which immunological mechanisms play an important role in causing demyelinating lesions in the central nervous system. A number of drugs acting in different stages of these mechanisms have been tested for its treatment. This paper analyses the most important clinical trials with glucocorticoids and immunomodulatory treatments, including human immunoglobulin, using the classes of evidences and types of recommendations as have been defined and widely ...

Introduction. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) in young adults. MS is the most common disorder of the central nervous system in young people living in temperate climate regions. Although a few references to possible cases of the disease come from the XIII century, its scientific observation and systematic study only started in the late xix century. Development. Robert Carswell e Jean Cruveilhier were the first investigators to document ...

Bipolar disorder may be overrepresented in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Although research in this area is limited, studies assessing the nature of this association have focused on genetic aspects, adverse reaction to drugs and brain demyelinating lesions. Herein we report three patients with MS that also presented bipolar disorder. The coexistence of neurological and psychiatric symptoms in most MS relapses highlights the relevance of biological factors in the emergence of mood disorders in ...

The Guy's neurological disability scale (GNDS) has recently been introduced as a new measure of disability in multiple sclerosis. It is patient-oriented, multidimensional, and not biased towards any particular disability. The purpose of the present study was to validate the Brazilian version of the GNDS. The adaptation of the scale was based on the translation/back-translation methodology. Sixty-two patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS) according to Poser's criteria were recruited ...

Foram avaliados 95 pacientes com forma remitente-recorrente da esclerose múltipla quanto à presença de fadiga. A Escala de Severidade de Fadiga foi aplicada em todos os pacientes. Em 64 pacientes (67,4%) a fadiga foi encontrada. Não observamos diferenças clínicas quanto ao gênero, idade, grau de incapacidade funcional e depressão, nos pacientes com e sem fadiga. Foi encontrada correlação entre ansiedade e tempo de doença com a presença de fadiga. Ao analisarmos estas variáveis quanto à intensidade ...

The suggestion of a possible relationship between depression and multiple sclerosis (MS) has existed for many years, and the prevalence studies are believed by potential biases. In our country, the prevalence of clinical depression in patients with MS is unknown. The objective of the present study was to ascertain the rate of depression in a group of MS patients and to analyze the relationship to depression, disability, gender, age and duration of illness. We evaluated 84 relapsing-remitting MS patients ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system. Although its etiology is unknown, the accumulation and activation of mononuclear cells in the central nervous system are crucial to its pathogenesis. Chemokines have been proposed to play a major role in the recruitment and activation of leukocytes in inflammatory sites. They are divided into subfamilies on the basis of the location of conserved cysteine residues. We determined the levels ...

Several experimental and human studies suggest that the chemokines CCL2 and CXCL10 may play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we evaluated the effect of intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) therapy on the levels of CCL2 and CXCL10 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of patients with active MS.Serum and CSF samples were obtained from 14 patients with active relapsing-remitting MS (age +/- SD years, 37.0 +/- 8.1; M/F, 6/8) and age- and gender-matched control subjects. All patients ...

Recently new disease-modifying treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS) were introduced which can change the natural course of the disease. In clinical trials with these new agents the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is often used as a primary outcome instrument to measure neurological impairment and disability. A number of limitations have been identified when using the EDSS, some of wich are because the EDSS is an ordinal scale that is heavily biased to locomotor function. In this study we ...

There has been unprecedented advances in knowledge of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the last few years. A new set of criteria for its diagnosis and a bunch of recent clinical trials with disease-modifying agents (DMA) have been published. All of that has made it necessary to update and expand the previous consensus for MS treatment as formulated by the Brazilian Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (BCTRIMS) two years ago. The BCTRIMS Expanded Consensus emphasizes the need to (1) ...

Studies utilizing microinjections of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) were performed to determine potentially sensitive limbic brain sites to the ulcerogenic effect of TRH. Administration of TRH into the central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) produced a high (80%) incidence of gastric lesions and also significantly stimulated acid secretion. Microinjections of TRH into other brain sites including superior colliculus, medial septum, substantia nigra and the hippocampus (CA1 area) were ineffective. ...

Although the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) offers universal health coverage, access to quality care is often limited by social inequality and location. Although telemedicine has been shown to be an important tool in the efforts to overcome this problem, because it can provide access to specialist care and break the geographical barriers to health care, there are no national studies demonstrating its use in public health.This study aims to test the hypothesis that remote consultation can be ...

Abstract Huanglongbing (HLB), caused mainly by ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), is the most devastating citrus disease because all commercial species are susceptible. HLB tolerance has been observed in Poncirus trifoliata and their hybrids. A wide-ranging transcriptomic analysis using contrasting genotypes regarding HLB severity was performed to identify the genetic mechanism associated with tolerance to HLB. The genotypes included Citrus sinensis, Citrus sunki, Poncirus trifoliata and three ...

Abstract Canal filling materials and techniques have been one of the most studied topics in Endodontics. A simple search using the mesh term “root canal filling” in PubMed revealed more than 11 000 articles, an impressive number that is much higher than “root canal disinfection” (5544 articles) or even the popular “root canal preparation” (8527 articles). The overriding importance attributed to root filling procedures is not merely intuitive. It derived from the appealing relevance given by the appearance ...
