1. Comparison of the influence of low dose etomidate and propofol as priming dose on the incidence of etomidate induced myoclonus: a randomised, double-blind clinical trial
Abstract Background: Though hemodynamically stable, etomidate is known for its myoclonus side effect following induction. The main aim of this study is an effective attempt to decrease the incidence of myoclonus with a priming agent. Methods: A prospective, double-blind study was carried out on 50 adults posted for elective surgery. After premedication, pr

2. Physiotherapy for Children with CLN2 Disease
Abstract CLN2 disease (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2) is a rare, genetic, paediatric-onset, neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterised by seizures, ataxia, rapid loss of motor function and language ability, dementia, visual loss and early death. Physiotherapy plays an important role in the management of CLN2 disease, aiming to maintai

3. Prevention of etomidate-induced myoclonus during anesthetic induction by pretreatment with dexmedetomidine
Myoclonus induced by etomidate during induction of general anesthesia is undesirable. This study evaluated the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) pretreatment on the incidence and severity of etomidate-induced myoclonus. Ninety patients undergoing elective surgical procedures were randomly allocated to three groups (n=30 each) for intravenous administration of

4. Clinical aspects of envenomation caused by Tityus obscurus (Gervais, 1843) in two distinct regions of Pará state, Brazilian Amazon basin: a prospective case series
Background : Scorpion envenomations are a major public health problem in Brazil, whose most dangerous cases are attributable to the genus Tityus. This study was designed to compare the clinical and demographic features of envenomations by 77tyus obscurus in two areas of the state of Pará located in the Amazon basin. Were compared demographic findings, l

5. Truques sensoriais em diferentes tipos de distonia e no espasmo hemifacial
Introduction: The dystonia is a syndrome of sustained involuntary muscle contractions always producing twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Of all movement disorders associated with basal ganglia dysfunction, dystonia is the least understood in terms of underlying pathophysiology. Recent works revealed that basal ganglia cortico-striatal-t

6. POLIOENCEFALOMALACIA EM RUMINANTES / POLIOENCEPHALOMALACIA IN RUMINANTS
In the first portion of this thesis, epidemiology, clinical signs and distribution of lesions in the brain of thirty one cases of polioencephalomalacia (PEM) in cattle from the Southern (13 cases) and Midwestern (18 cases) Brazil were studied. Morbidity (0.04%-6.66 %), mortality (0.04%-6.66 %), and lethality (50%-100%) rates were similar in both regions stud

7. Análise da participação da medula espinal na síndrome das pernas inquietas e nos movimentos periódicos dos membros / Analysis of the participation of spinal cord in restless legs syndrome
INTRODUÇÃO: Os Movimentos Periódicos dos Membros (PLM) são movimentos repetitivos, estereotipados, que ocorrem principalmente nos membros inferiores e associam-se freqüentemente à Síndrome das Pernas Inquietas (SPI), na qual os pacientes relatam necessidade de mover os membros, geralmente associada a desconforto que pode ser exacerbado com a inativida

8. Avaliação neurológica e laboratorial de casos de encefalomielite pelo vírus da cinomose canina na ausência de sinais sistêmicos e mioclonia
O diagnóstico clínico da encefalomielite pela cinomose em cães é difícil nos casos em que os sinais sistêmicos e a mioclonia estão ausentes. Nessa situação, o apoio laboratorial é necessário para confirmar a doença, no entanto os métodos disponíveis para o diagnóstico ante mortem da cinomose têm valor limitado. O conhecimento sobre as possív

9. Convulsive effects of some isolated venom fractions of the Tityus serrulatus scorpion: behavioral, electroencephalographic, and neuropathological aspects
It has been previously shown that the crude venom of Tityus serrulatus can cause convulsions. This study was designed to investigate the neurotoxic effects of B, C, G, and K fractions isolated from this venom. Intravenous injection of these fractions in mice (0.6 - 6.0 mg/kg body weight) showed that the C fraction is a potent convulsant and G fraction decrea

10. "Isolated" postinfectious myoclonus.
Two cases are reported who developed myoclonus as the only manifestation of a post-infectious syndrome without evidence of encephalitis or the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. Case 1 had generalised myoclonus following an influenza-like illness, while case 2 had right upper limb segmental myoclonus following uncomplicated chicken pox. Neither had any localisin

11. Dopamine agonists suppress visual-cortical reflex myoclonus.
Two patients with a diagnosis of olivo-ponto-cerebellar atrophy developed cortical reflex myoclonus to visual (flash) and somaesthetic stimuli. Oral treatment with levodopacarbidopa (1000/100 mg) or subcutaneous administration of apomorphine (1 mg) abolished the visually-triggered myoclonus, without modifying reflex myoclonus to electrical or tactile stimula

12. Uraemic myoclonus: an example of reticular reflex myoclonus?
Two patients are described who developed action, reflex myoclonus during acute renal failure. In both cases the myoclonus was abolished after the intravenous administration of clonazepam. We suggest that the characteristic action myoclonus, which occurs in both acute renal failure and postanoxic encephalopathy, is caused by a disturbance of function in the l
