Unilateral Neglect Syndrome is one of the consequences of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) generally following right parietal lobe lesion, leading to the impairment of perceptive visual, spatial and attention functions. The patient affected does not realize the environmental stimuli on the contralesional hemibody. Occupational therapy plays an important role in caring for this patient, seeking the recovery of perception, attention and social engagement. This study aimed to describe and evaluate the results of occupational therapy intervention and treatment in a single Unilateral Neglect Syndrome post CVA patient. Data were obtained from a survey of the patient’s medical records and interviews of his therapist and caretaker. The analysis of the patient’s medical records and his therapist’s report showed that the patient responded satisfactorily to treatment, presenting a decrease of the left unilateral neglect at the end of the study period. The favorable outcome of the patient outlined the relevance of evaluating the effects of Occupational Therapy interventions for clinical unilateral neglect syndrome.

Patients who went through a Stroke may require mechanical ventilation (MV) in the acute phase of the disease and, on MV, they may show alterations in the respiratory mechanic. Physiotherapy techniques are applied in patients on MV to improve their respiratory mechanic. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Respiratory Physiotherapy into the dynamic compliance (Cdyn), static compliance (Cst) and airway resistance (Rwa) in Stroke patients on MV. In order to do that, patients with Stroke diagnostic on MV were evaluated, before and after the use of Physiotherapy techniques (manual rib-cage compression, thoracic decompression, zero end expiratory pressure and suctioning). Cdyn, Cst and Rwa were the researched variables. Statistical Analysis was made using Paired T-Test with statistical significance with p-values no greater than 5%. Eleven patients were part of the study, with an average of 64,6±12,5 years old. Cdyn increased after physiotherapy from 29,3±16,1 ml/cmH2O to 33,8±16,7 ml/cmH2O (p=0,03). Cst also increased from 44,4±20,7 ml/cmH2O to 54,0±26,6 ml/cmH2O (p=0,024). No significant difference was detected for Rwa between the before and after moments (Before – 8,0±3,2 cmH2O/l/s, After – 7,3±2,25 cmH2O/l/s; p=0,45). It was possible to conclude that both dynamic and static compliance increased after physiotherapy, but the airway resistance did not increase in patients with stroke on mechanical ventilation.

A realização de exercícios físicos para pacientes com sequelas motoras pós-acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) é essencial para a recuperação funcional. Programas educacionais podem facilitar a repetição dos exercícios em casa e contribuir para o tratamento. Este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar e aplicar um manual de exercícios domiciliares para pacientes com AVE. O estudo consistiu em duas etapas: na primeira foi elaborado um manual de exercícios domiciliares (piloto) com fotos e textos simples para facilitar a compreensão. Foi realizada uma avaliação funcional de cada paciente e selecionados os exercícios mais adequados, que deveriam ser feitos em casa. Esse manual foi aplicado a 17 pacientes, 70% crônicos e 30% agudos. Após 15 dias, o paciente retornava e era solicitado que reproduzisse os exercícios e informasse o nível de compreensão das fotos e do texto do manual e se sentia dor ao realizá-los. As fotos e os exercícios referidos como difíceis foram revistos, e criada a versão teste que foi aplicada em outros 23 pacientes, dando origem à versão final do manual. A avaliação do manual piloto foi insatisfatória, sendo que apenas 56% referiram aprovação das fotos e 87% do texto. Após a reformulação, a compreensão das fotos e do texto alcançou valores acima de 98%. Foi possível obter um manual ilustrado de exercícios domiciliares, de fácil aplicação e compreensão, específico e individualizado, para pacientes com AVE e adaptável aos diferentes quadros motores.

O Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) é definido como a interrupção súbita da circulação cerebral devido á um bloqueio ou rompimento de um ou mais vasos sanguíneos sendo classificado em hemorrágico ou isquêmico. Constituindo a principal causa de incapacidade física e emocional á longo prazo, ocasionando sobrecarga econômica para os familiares e a sociedade. O paciente acometido pelo AVE pode ficar impossibilitado de manter o estilo de vida anterior, prejudicando sua mobilidade, fala, audição, visão, relacionamentos; produzindo ainda quadros de depressão e podendo levar a morte .Este trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar um plano de intervenção de promoção e prevenção que vise à diminuição da incidência de acidente vascular encefálico (AVE), baseada em ações educativas com a comunidade. Para isso identificamos os nos críticos do problema prioritário em nossa área de abrangência e após se estabelecer as prioridades, decidimos elaborar um plano de ação para os seguintes problemas: 1- desconhecimento dos gestores de saúde sobre a importância da visita domiciliar e a educação em saúde como estratégia para criar condições favoráveis às pessoas com doenças crônicas; 2- poucos materiais educativos para efetuar promoção de saúde em doenças crônicas; 3- desmotivação dos integrantes da equipe de saúde, devido ao excesso de trabalho, priorização de demanda espontânea nas consultas. Alguns problemas identificados ao longo da revisão de literatura e não mencionados como nos críticos no plano de ações, são justificáveis, por estarem fora da governabilidade da equipe. Com o plano de ação pretendemos influenciar na redução da incidência das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), principalmente dos AVE na referida comunidade.

Diversos estudos sugerem que a tetraciciclina semi-sintética minociciclina e o transplante de células mononucleares da medula óssea (CMMOs) induzem neuroproteção em modelos experimentais de acidente vascular encefálico (AVENC). No entanto, poucos investigaram, comparativamente, os efeitos destas duas abordagens terapêuticas após AVENC induzido por microinjeções de endotelina – 1 (ET -1). Nesta dissertação, objetivou-se comparar os efeitos do bloqueio microglial com minociclina com os obtidos pelo transplante intraestriatal de CMMOs na fase aguda após acidente vascular encefálico experimental, sobre a área de lesão, neuroproteção, apoptose de recuperação funcional. Ratos machos adultos, da raça Wistar, pesando entre 250 e 350g, foram distribuídos em quatro grupos experimentais: controle (chamado de Salina) - isquêmico tratado com salina (N=4), isquêmico tratado com minociclina (N=4), isquêmico tratado com CMMOs (N=3) e doador de CMMOs (N=2). Testes comportamentais foram realizados em 1, 3 e 7 dias pós-isquemia para avaliar a recuperação funcional entre os grupos. Animais tratados com minociclina receberam 2 doses diárias de 50mg/kg nos 2 primeiros dias, e 5 aplicações únicas de 25mg/kg (i.p) nos dias subsequentes até o sexto dia após a indução isquêmica. 1x106 de CMMOs foram obtidas de ratos da mesma linhagem e transplantadas diretamente no estriato, 24h após a lesão isquêmica. Todos os animais foram perfundidos 7 dias após a indução isquêmica. Secções coronais foram coradas por violeta de cresila para análise histopatológica geral, e por imunohistoquímica para a identificação de corpos neuronais (neuN), microglia/macrófagos ativados (ED1) e células apoptóticas (Caspase-3). A análise histopatológica geral mostrou grande palor, perda tecidual e intensa ativação microglial/ macrofágica no estriato de animais tratados com solução salina estéril. O tratamento com CMMO foi mais eficaz do que a minociclina (P<0,05, ANOVA-Tukey) na redução do número de microglia/macrófagos ativados (salina 276,3 ± 9,3); CMMOs 133,8 ± 6,8) e minociclina 244,6 ± 7,1). CMMOs e minociclina reduziram a área de lesão, em 67,75% e 69,1%, respectivamente. Os dois tratamentos promoveram o mesmo nível de preservação neuronal (p< 0,05) em relação ao controle, 61,3 ± 1,5); 86,8 ± 3,4) e 81 ± 3,4). As CMMOs reduziram de forma mais eficaz (p<0,01) o número de células apoptóticas em relação à minociclina e grupo controle (26,5 ± 1,6); 13,1 ± 0,7) e 19,7 ± 1,1). Ambas as abordagens terapêuticas promoveram recuperação funcional dos animais isquêmicos. Os resultados sugerem que o tratamento com CMMOs é mais eficaz na modulação da resposta microglial e na diminuição da apoptose do que o tratamento com minociclina, apesar de ambos serem igualmente eficazes para indução da neuroproteção. Estudos futuros devem investigar se o tratamento com minociclina associado ao transplante de CMMOs produzem efeitos sinérgicos, o que poderia amplificar os níveis de neuroproteção observados.

The stimulation of motor learning is an important component to a rehabilitation and type of practice used is de basic importance to Physiotherapy. The motor skills are the types more basic of behavior that subjects must acquire throughout its lives and observational learning one of forms for its acquisition. Objective: This study aimed to compare performance of patients post- stroke on test of recognition of activities of day life using self-controlled and externally determined practice. Intervention: Forty subjects had been evaluated, 20 stroke patients (the mean age was 57,9?}6,7 years, schooling 6,7?}3,09 years and time of injury 23,4?}17,2 months) and 20 health subjects (the mean age 55,4?}5,9 years and schooling 8?}3,7 years). All was evaluated about independence functional (FIM) and cognitive state (MMSE), and patients were also evaluated about neurologic state (NIHSS). Later, all realized a recognition of activities of day life test (drink water and speak to telephone) on self-controlled (PAUTO and CAUTO) and externally determined (P20 and C20) frequency. The stroke subjects also were examined for a three-dimensional system of kinematic analysis, when they have drink water. The statistic analysis was realized for chi-square and t Student tests. Results: This was not difference, about number of rightness, between groups of self-controlled and externally determined practice (p0,005), and also not between patients and control groups (p0,005). Patients mean velocity (PAUTO: 141,1mm/sec and P20: 141,6mm/sec) and peak velocity (PAUTO: 652,1mm/sec and P20: 598,6mm/sec) were reduced, as well as the angles reached for elbow (PAUTO: 66,60 and 124,40; P20: 66,30 and 128,50 extension e flexion respectively) regarding literature. Conclusions: The performance on recognition of activities of day life test was similar between on self-controlled and externally determined frequency, showing both technique may be used to stimulate motor learning on chronic patients after stroke

During the motor rehabilitation of patients with neurological pathologies, there are many factors that have an influence on the therapeutical process. It is possible that the demonstration using videotapes or photographs of movements that will be learned can assist the codification, classification and reorganization of the elements of the task in familiar diagrams and thus facilitate the process of motor rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to analyze the performance in the test of recognition of sequences of functional activities such as water drinking and hair combing presented partially (by photos) and completely (by video) to the patients with encephalic vascular accident . The sample was generated from 12 patients (62 ± 8 years) and 10 healthy subjects (53 ± 5 years), of both sex, divided in two groups for which 5 functional activities were presented partially and completely, in 4 sequences that varied between reached and not reached objectives and correct and incorrect movements, during 24 trials. The test t'Student was applied to verify differences in the recognition time between the groups, and to compare the performance between the tests carried through at 9:00 am and retests at 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. To compare the frequency between the types of reply, the test Qui-square was used. It was verified that the patients presented a greater recognition time and a lower number of correct answers than the healthy subjects, and had better performances in the recognition of the complete sequence than the partial one. Bigger frequency was observed in the reply that the objective and the movement were being presented correctly, however the healthy subjects had soon indicated the correct reply in the first trials. An improvement tendency was observed in the performance, when the stages of tests and retests had been carried through in the same schedule. According to the results, it is suggested that the patients with stroke can better recognize the correct movements of a functional activity when it is presented completely in video form, what can influence the choice of the therapeutical strategy during the process of motor rehabilitation

A sixty-nine year old man suffered a stroke fourteen weeks after the onset of right herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO). Hemispheric infarction was documented by a computed tomography which showed a small hypodense zone in the right internal capsula; after contrast there was enhancement of this hypodense area. Cerebral angiography and cerebral-spinal fluid were not done. Despite of a diagnosis of probability the authors report the case and review the literature. A long latency between the HZO and onset of neurological deficit is stressed. New antiviral agents may prevent the ictus.
