OBJECTIVE: To determine whether recording of the activation potential may be used as an isolated criterion to guide catheter ablation of atriofascicular Mahaim fibers. METHODS: We studied 6 patients (5 females, mean age of 26±7.3 years) with paroxysmal tachycardias with a wide QRS complex, whose electrophysiological study diagnosed atriofascicular Mahaim fibers. Mapping and catheter ablation were performed in sinus rhythm, guided only by the recording of the activation potential of the fiber. RESULTS: Efficacy in ablation was achieved in all patients. The fibers were located in the right lateral region of the tricuspid ring in 3 patients, right posterolateral region in 2, and right anterolateral region in 1. A mean of 5.3±3 radiofrequency applications was performed. The mean fluoroscopy time was 46.6±25 minutes, and the mean duration of the procedure was 178.6±108 minutes. No complication occurred. In a mean 20-month follow-up, all patients were asymptomatic and receiving no antiarrhythmic drugs. CONCLUSION: Catheter ablation of Mahaim fibers may be performed with good safety and efficacy by mapping the activation potential of the tricuspid ring in sinus rhythm.

This report describes a leiomyoma of the inferior third section of the esophagus removed during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient is a woman 55-years-age, carrying esophageal myoma of 40 mm in diameter wide, situated in the posterior wall of the lower esophagus. Indications for surgery were based mainly on the growth of the mass (6 mm when discovered 7 years previously, increased to 40 mm). Recently the patient returned suffering from pain, which could be attributed to his litiasic cholecystopaty. A small degree of low disphagia could also be observed. Radiologic imaging, direct endoscopic examination and endoscopic ultrasound showed that the mioma protruded on to the oesophagic lumen, discreetly diminishing there. A laparoscopic esophageal myomectomy was indicated at the same session of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Once the pneunoperitoneum was installed, five ports were placed as if for a hiatus hernia surgery. The cholecystectomy was uneventful. Next, an esophagoscopy was performed so as to determine the precise area covering the base of the tumour; at the right-lateral site. Longitudinal and circular fibres of the esophagus was severed over the lesion and the enucleation of the tumour was performed alternating the monopolar dissection, bipolar and hidrodisection. Control-endoscopy was carried out to verify mucosa integrity. Four suture points with poliglactine 3-0 string so as to close the musculature followed this. One suture was placed in for diminution of the size of the esophagean hiatus. Total time of intervention: two hours (30m for the cholecystectomy and one hour and thirty minutes for the myomectomy). Postoperative period: uneventful. Disappearance of the disphagia was observed. Radiologic transit control with water-soluble contrast at 4th post-operative day: good passage. Diagnosis from laboratory of pathology: conjunctive tumour formed by muscle non-striated cells: leiomyoma. The patient was re-examined on the two-month postoperative follow-up. General conditions were good and there were no complain of dysphagia. Neither there were any symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux.

Rhabdomyoma is a rare soft tissue tumor and account for 1 to 2 % of skeletal muscle tumors. Rhabdomyomas are uncommon with less than one hundred cases reported. Head and neck rhabdomyomas have their origin in the third and fourth branchial clefts skeletal muscle. Describe the clinical, histopathological and radiological aspects of a recurrent adult mouth floor rhabdomyoma and the differential diagnosis for this uncommon entity. Two years after surgical resection, of a fifty-four years old male patient, with mouth floor rhabdomyoma, he started to complain of submucosal lesion at the oropharynx right lateral wall. The CT scan has shown extension to the parapharyngeal space and recurrent rhabdomyoma hypothesis has been done. The patient underwent a new surgical resection and the histopathological examination confirmed a recurrent adult rhabdomyoma.

PURPOSE: Congenital venous malformations of the lower limbs represent a particular challenge for the vascular surgeon. Persistence of fetal veins is a rare malformation, and the most common is the persistence of the lateral marginal vein usually observed in patients with Klippel-Trenaunnay Syndrome. The persistence of this embryonic vein as an isolated venous malformation without the other characteristics of the Klippel-Trenaunnay Syndrome has not yet been reported. This paper describes two cases. METHODS: Two patients, a 17-year-old male patient and a 16-year-old female, have had since their birth a large venous trunk in the lateral aspect of the right leg and thigh. The limbs underwent duplex scanning and phlebography. The surgical removal of the lateral marginal vein was performed. RESULTS: Surgical treatment resulted in very good functional and aesthetic results. Follow-up at 26 months showed no evidence of varicose vein recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: To achieve good results, surgical intervention may be indicated in cases of orthopedic deformity, hemorrhage, symptomatic, and unaesthetic lesions.

Laparoscopic resection of the left lateral segment of the liver in donors of living liver transplantation. The authors present a case of laparoscopic resection of the left lateral segment of the liver in a donor of living liver transplantation. The procedure was done in six hours and the left lateral segment of the liver was removed through a 15 cm right subcostal incision. The patient was discharged on the 5th post-operative day. A 40 mL intrabdominal collection of bile was percutaneously drained guided by ultra-sonography. The drain was removed after five days. Afterwards, the patient had good recovery with no other complication.

We recently demonstrated that automatic attention favors the right side of space and, in the present study, we investigated whether voluntary attention also favors this side. Six reaction time experiments were conducted. In each experiment, 12 new 18-25-year-old male right-handed individuals were tested. In Experiments 1, 2, 3 (a, b) and 4 (a, b), tasks with increasing attentional demands were used. In Experiments 1, 2, 3a, and 4a, attention was oriented to one or both sides by means of a central spatially informative visual cue. A left or right side visual target appeared 100, 300, or 500 ms later. Attentional effects were observed in the four experiments. In Experiments 2, 3a and 4a, these effects were greater when the cue indicated the right side than when it indicated the left side (respectively: 16 ± 10 and 44 ± 6 ms, P = 0.015, for stimulus onset asynchrony of 500 ms in Experiment 2; 38 ± 10 and 70 ± 7 ms, P = 0.011, for Experiment 3a, and 23 ± 11 and 61 ± 10 ms, P = 0.009, for Experiment 4a). In Experiments 3b and 4b, the central cue pointed to both sides and was said to be non-relevant for task performance. In these experiments right and left reaction times did not differ. The most conservative interpretation of the present findings is that voluntary attention orienting favors the right side of space, particularly when a difficult task has to be performed.

Muitas técnicas de descompressão orbital têm sido utilizadas no tratamento da oftalmopatia por Graves. Recentemente, introduziu-se a cirurgia endoscópica endonasal na descompressão de órbita, como técnica isolada ou combinada com as já existentes, acreditando proporcionar melhor visão da parede medial da órbita e menor incidência de infecção bacteriana quando a parede medial é acessada por endoscópio. OBJETIVO: Avaliar as complicações após a descompressão orbital por técnica combinada assistida por endoscopia na prevenção de infecção rinossinusal. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Clínico Prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: 16 pacientes 18 órbitas foram submetidos à descompressão orbital no Setor de Órbita do Departamento de Oftalmologia da Escola Paulista de Medicina UNIFESP. RESULTADOS: Quatro pacientes, durante o acompanhamento por tomografia no pós-operatório, apresentaram velamento do seio maxilar ou frontal, sem sintomatologia. CONCLUSÃO: A descompressão orbital por via externa combinada com a via endonasal auxiliada por endoscopia mostrou-se eficaz na prevenção de sinusite clinicamente manifesta e suas complicações, embora no acompanhamento tomográfico 22% dos pacientes apresentaram velamento do seio maxilar ou frontal.

OBJETIVO: Demonstrar o efeito da aplicação local Botox® em glândulas salivares de pacientes com diagnóstico de esclerose lateral amiotrófica (ELA), seguindo nosso protocolo institucional de tratamento da sialorréia de 2002. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Clínico prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Cinco pacientes com ELA avaliados na Clínica de Otorrinolaringologia da AACD (Associação de Assistência à Criança Deficiente) foram submetidos à aplicação tópica de Botox® nas glândulas salivares e acompanhados por um ano. O protocolo consiste num questionário clínico sobre as habilidades de deglutir saliva e as repercussões na qualidade de vida. Os pacientes deveriam ter tratamento odontológico prévio, intolerância aos efeitos adversos dos anti-colinérgicos, e ausência de aplicação de. Botox® em outros sítios por pelo menos seis meses. A aplicação foi guiada por ultra-sonografia para as glândulas submandibulares e a dose administrada foi de 30U em um ponto, e 20U em cada glândula parótida distribuída em dois pontos, após anestesia tópica com prilocaína. RESULTADOS: Cinco pacientes com ELA, com idade entre 45 e 59 anos foram submetidos ao tratamento de redução de saliva pela aplicação de Botox® em glândulas salivares. Nós observamos que os sintomas de sialorréia melhoraram dramaticamente em quatro pacientes. Três pacientes permaneceram quatro meses sem queixas, com acentuada melhora na qualidade de vida. Nenhum paciente apresentou efeitos colaterais locais ou sistêmicos com a aplicação de Botox® em glândulas salivares.

OBJETIVO: Comparar os efeitos da cauterização submucosa do corneto inferior com e sem a fratura lateral. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Clínico prospectivo. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados 20 pacientes aleatoriamente com diagnóstico de hipertrofia crônica dos cornetos nasais, e divididos em dois grupos. O primeiro foi submetido à cauterização submucosa com fratura lateral do corneto, e o segundo sem a fratura. Foram avaliados cinco quesitos, comparando-se os dois métodos: dor, sangramento nasal, cicatrização, formação de crostas e perviedade nasal. O seguimento pós-operatório foi realizado no 1º, 7º, 14º e 30º dias. RESULTADOS: Quanto à dor, sangramento nasal e formação de crostas o resultado foi semelhante para ambos os grupos. Em relação à cicatrização, houve melhores resultados no grupo submetido à fratura lateral nas primeiras duas semanas do seguimento. Quanto à perviedade nasal, 80% dos pacientes submetidos à cauterização submucosa com a fratura lateral referiram boa perviedade. Por outro lado, 30% dos pacientes não submetidos à fratura lateral relataram boa perviedade. CONCLUSÃO: A realização da cauterização submucosa do corneto inferior associada à fratura lateral é mais eficaz que a realização da cauterização isoladamente.

As áreas onde, segundo notificação, ocorreram casos de leishmaniose tegumentar americana, na região de Lagoinha, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil (Lat 23 05 S; Lon 45 11), nos anos de 1993 e 1994, foram localizadas numa imagem do satélite TM-LANDSAT. A composição colorida artificial feita com as bandas 3, 4 e 5 da imagem permitiu a identificação de vegetação arbustiva, ou dentro mesmo dos limites indicados para aquelas localidades ou à distância máxima de cerca de 250 metros do perímetro de cada área. A utilização de um recurso capaz de possibilitar uma visão mais abrangente de uma área geográfica tornou evidente as vantagens do sensoriamento remoto orbital para o estudo desta endemia.

INTRODUÇÃO: A ocorrência de leishmaniose tegumentar americana na região do Vale do Paraíba e litoral Norte do Estado de São Paulo foi estudada por meio de sensoriamento remoto orbital e de mapas da região. MÉTODO: As áreas consideradas de risco foram localizadas numa composição de imagens das bandas TM-3,4 e 5 do satélite Landsat, a vegetação arbustiva foi identificada e se procuraram correlações entre aquelas áreas e as características ambientais relevantes e suas mudanças. RESULTADOS: Foi caracterizada uma área de risco que pode se provar um macro habitat para vetores, reservatórios e agentes etiológicos. A busca de mudanças na paisagem e a avaliação dos dados meteorológicos não forneceram nenhum incremento dos possíveis fatores de risco. CONCLUSÕES: Existe plena correlação entre as áreas consideradas de risco e a presença de córregos e vegetação arbustiva.
