BACKGROUND: Dysphagia after stroke is common and can impact morbidity and death. The purpose of this population-based study was to determine specific epidemiological and health risk factors that impact development of dysphagia after acute stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke cases from 2010 and 2015 were identified via chart review from the GCNKSS (Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Stroke Study), a representative sample of ≈1.3 million adults from southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky...

INTRODUCTION: Lumbar puncture (LP) is a common invasive technique considered an essential learning milestone for anesthesiologists due to its application in spinal anesthesia. We aimed to develop an in-house LP simulator, test its effectiveness in learning the steps to perform an LP and analyze its impact on the first-year residents' self-confidence at our hospital. METHODS:  We used 3D printing and silicone casting to create an LP simulator based on a lumbar spine computed tomography (CT)...

This study assessed the association of birth weight, gestational age, and intrauterine growth with bone mineral density (BMD) at 22 and 30 years of age in the 1982 and 1993 birth cohorts in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the association was assessed using analysis of variance. Multiple linear regression was used to control for confounding factors: sex; household income at birth; maternal smoking during pregnancy; maternal schooling; maternal ethnicity/skin color; and pre-pregnancy body mass index...

The effective relief of postsurgical pain in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy is important to allow the initiation of activities of daily living. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the analgesic efficacy of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant added to ropivacaine by the intra-articular route. Method Seventy patients underwent knee arthroscopy which were randomly assigned into two groups (n = 35). The RD group received ropivacaine 1.5 mg/kg plus dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg intra-articularly...

OBJECTIVE: Reconstructive surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is quite common, previous studies have documented that adequate pain control in the early phases of the postoperative period translates into early mobility and a rapid start of rehabilitation. Therefore, the search for new strategies for postoperative pain control is justified. The aim of this study was to compare intra-articular to the epidural administration of ropivacaine and midazolam as postoperative analgesia after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring autograft (HA)...

BACKGROUND: Obesity is common among patients with pediatric Crohn's disease (PCD). Some adult studies suggest obese patients respond less well to anti-TNF treatment. This study sought compares anti-TNF response and anti-TNF levels between pediatric patients with normal and high body mass index (BMI). METHODS: The COMBINE trial compared anti-TNF monotherapy to combination therapy with methotrexate in patients with PCD. In this secondary analysis, a comparison of time-to-treatment failure among patients with normal BMI versus BMI Z score > 1, adjusting for prescribed anti-TNF (infliximab or adalimumab), trial treatment assignment (combination versus monotherapy), and relevant covariates...

OBJECTIVE: Reliable interpretation of imaging findings is essential for the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and requires a high level of experience. We investigated experience-dependent differences in diagnostic accuracies using X-ray (XR), MRI and CT. METHODS: This post hoc analysis included 163 subjects with low back pain. Eighty-nine patients had axSpA, and 74 patients had other conditions (mechanical, degenerative or non-specific low back pain)...

We aimed to assess the correlation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) with infarct size (IS) and residual systolic function in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We enrolled patients discharged for a first anterior reperfused STEMI submitted to undergo CMR. EAT, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF), and IS were quantified at the 1-week ( n = 221) and at 6-month CMR ( n = 167). At 1-week CMR, mean EAT was 31 ± 13 mL/m2 .

BACKGROUND: Feeding and eating disorders are severe mental disorders that gravely affect patients' lives. In particular, patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN) appear to have poor social cognition. Many studies have shown the relationship between poor social cognition and brain responses in AN. However, few studies have examined the relationship between social cognition and BN. Therefore, we examined which brain regions impact the ability for social cognition in patients with BN...

INTRODUCTION: Antiretroviral therapy increased the survival and life expectancy of People living With HIV (PWH). Frailty-related syndromes among older PWH (aged 50+ years) may affect their Health-related Quality of Life (HQoL). Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted health-related outcomes. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty among older PWH, and to explore associations of HQoL with the study assessment period and frailty status. METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted pre- (23-Mar-2019 to 5-Mar-2020) and post-COVID-19 pandemic onset (23-Jun-2021 to 5-May-2022), among older PWH at INI-Fiocruz, the largest cohort of PWH in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil...
