Os vírus linfotrópicos de células T humanas do tipo I e II (HLTV-I/II) apresentam genoma de ácido ribonucléico (RNA) e infectam geralmente células CD4+, com relação endêmica em determinadas áreas como Japão e Caribe com predomínio maior ou menor em outras regiões; na Amazônia brasileira as pesquisas estão correlacionadas principalmente à população indígena. Estes vírus estão associados a doenças malígnas, desordens neurológicas e imunodeficiências, ocasionando viremia por longo período, sem manifestações clínicas. O HTLV é considerado agente etiógico da Leucemia/ linfoma de célula T do adulto (L/LTA) e Parapasemia espática tropical/Mielopatia associada ao HTLV-I (PET/HAM) dentre outras. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a presença de HTLV e determinar o tipo mais freqüente (HTLV-I ou HTLV-II) em crianças com Leucemia Linfóide Aguda, matriculadas no serviço de referência para Câncer em Belém, observando a via de transmissão pelo aleitamento materno, os sintomas neurológcas relacionados com a infecção a revisão bibliográfica pertinente. A pesquisa dos vírus foi realizada pela técnica de PCR (Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase), que permite a distinção entre HTLV-I e HTLV-II. Foram observados os parâmetros de idade, sexo, lesões cutâneas, marcha e transfusão sanguínea através de porcentagens. O HTLV-I foi positivo em uma criança do sexo feminino, sem relação com transmissão por aleitamento materno, e não houve o envolvimento do HTLV como agente etiológico de neoplasia de células linfóide na faixa etária pediátrica.

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of stroke it increases with the aging and each successive decade above 55 years leads to a doubling of stroke incidence. Among the current complications of stroke are the unbalance postural and depression. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and correlate the postural balance and depression in elderly with and without stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 38 subjects (19 with stroke and 19 without). The balance was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale and the depression by Yesavage Depression Scale. RESULTS: Elderly with stroke presented depression when compared with elderly without the disease (p < 0.0001). The risk of falling in elderly with stroke was 102 times higher than in elderly without stroke. There was a correlation between depression and balance (r = -0.55; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Elderly patients with sequels of stroke have unbalance and greater depression, when compared with elderly of same age without the disease.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of muscle strengthening in the balance, mobility and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), and to check the correlation between muscle strengthening and QoL. Nine subjects belonging to both sexes, diagnosed with PD, participated in this study. Initially, they went through an evaluation of their balance and functional mobility through the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and a QoL test through the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). The subjects also performed a test for determining the maximum load (one-repetition maximum) for the muscle groups trained. After the normality and homogeneity of the data were verified, the Student's t-test and Spearman correlation test were carried out. A significance level of p<0.05 was considered. We verified an improvement in balance (p=0.008) and QoL (p=0.013), and a negative correlation between balance and QoL (evaluation: r=-0.65 and p=0.05, revaluation: r=-0.82 and p=0.005). It was concluded that muscle strengthening was efficient in the improvement of balance and QoL in individuals with PD.

Objective To verify the effects of a systematized multimodal exercise intervention program on frontal cognitive function, postural control, and functional capacity components of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD).DesignNonrandomized controlled trial with pre- and posttraining tests in a training group and a control group.SettingKinesiotherapy program for seniors with AD, SAo Paulo State University.ParticipantsConvenience sample of older adults with AD (n=30) were assigned to a training (n=14; aged 78.67.1) and a control (n=16; aged 77.06.3) group.InterventionThe intervention program was structured with the aim of simultaneously promoting better balance and frontal cognitive capacity. The participants attended a 1-hour session three times a week for 16weeks, whereas the control group did not participate in any activity during the same period.MeasurementsFrontal cognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the Clock Drawing Test, the Frontal Assessment Battery, and the Symbol Search Subtest. Postural control (center of pressure area) was analyzed under four dual-task conditions. Functional capacity components were analyzed using the Timed Up and Go Test, the 30-second sit-to-stand test, the sit-and-reach test, and the Berg Functional Balance Scale.ResultsIntervention group participants showed a significant increase in frontal cognitive function (P<.001, partial (2)=0.838), with less body sway (P=.04, partial (2)=0.04) during the dual tasks, and greater functional capacity (P=.001, partial (2)=0.676) after the 16-week period.ConclusionIntervention participants performed better on dual-task activities and had better postural balance and greater functional capacity than controls.
