[en] NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS TREATED AT A NEUROSURGERY SERVICE IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] PERFIL NEUROPSICOLÓGICO DE PACIENTES ATENDIDOS EM UM SERVIÇO DE NEUROCIRURGIA EM HOSPITAL PÚBLICO NA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIROEVELYNNE SEIXAS DE BRITO R COELHO 10 July 2023 (has links)
[pt] Pacientes com lesões encefálicas adquiridas (LEA) apresentam prejuízos
neuropsicológicos e funcionais. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar o
perfil neuropsicológico destes pacientes atendidos em um serviço de neurocirurgia
de um hospital público do Rio de Janeiro, avaliando as evidências de validade clínica
da Bateria Breve de Rastreio Cognitivo (BBRC) no comprometimento cognitivo.
Método: Participaram do estudo 30 pacientes submetidos a neurocirurgia de crânio
e 30 de de coluna atendidos no ambulatório neurocirúrgico. Todos realizaram a
BBRC que mostrou que o grupo crânio apresentou um comprometimento do
funcionamento cognitivo global (MEEM- 35), memória incidental e imediata e no
desenho do relógio. O resultado inicial mostrou prejuízo em alguns domínios das
funções executivas, tais como memória operacional, estratégias de memória
episódica e planejamento. A pesquisa sugere que a BBRC pode ser utilizada no
contexto hospitalar para pacientes com LEA pós cirúrgicos. / [en] Patients with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) have neuropsychological and functional
injuries. The present study aimed to identify the neuropsychological profile of these
patients treated at a neurosurgical service of a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro,
evaluating the evidence of clinical validity of the Battery Cognitive Screening brief
(BCSB) in cognitive injuries. Method: Thirty patients who was submitted to brain s
neurosurgery and 30 spinal s neurosurgeries attended at clinic participated in the
study. All underwent the BCSB, which showed that the search group had impairment
in global cognitive functioning (MMSE-35), memory and in clock drawing test. The
initial result showed injuries in the domains of executive functions, such as working
memory, episodic memory strategies and planning. Research suggests that BBRC
can be used in the hospital setting for post-surgical ABI patients.

Virtual reality and the clinic: an ethnographic study of the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (The CAREN Research Study)Perry, Karen-Marie Elah 26 April 2018 (has links)
At the Ottawa Hospital in Ontario, Canada, clinicians use full body immersion virtual reality to treat a variety of health conditions, including: traumatic brain injuries, post- traumatic stress disorder, acquired brain injuries, complex regional pain syndrome, spinal cord injuries, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and lower limb amputations. The system is shared between military and civilian patient populations. Viewed by clinicians and the system’s designers as a value neutral medical technology, clinical virtual reality’s sights, sounds, movements, and smells reveal cultural assumptions about universal patient experiences. In this dissertation I draw from reflexive feminist research methodologies, visual anthropology and sensory ethnography in a hospital to centre the body in current debates about digital accessibility in the 21st Century. 40 in-depth interviews with practitioners and patients, 210 clinical observations, and film and photography ground research participant experiences in day-to-day understandings of virtual reality at the hospital. In this dissertation I address an ongoing absence of the body as a site of analytical attention in anthropological studies of virtual reality. While much literature in the social sciences situates virtual reality as a ‘post-human’ technology, I argue that virtual reality treatments are always experienced, resisted and interpreted through diverse body schemata. Furthermore, virtual reality cannot be decoupled from the sensitivities, socialities and politics of particular bodies in particular places and times. The Ottawa Hospital’s Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system features a digitally enhanced walk-in chamber, treadmills on hydraulic pistons, surround sound audio, advanced graphics and user feedback utilizing force plates and a dynamic infrared motion capture system. The CAREN system utilizes hardware and software reliant on specific assumptions about human bodies. For example, these assumptions are echoed in depictions of race, gender, class, and indigeneity. Patients using virtual reality technologies can experience more than one disability or health condition at a time, further disrupting the idea of universal user experiences. As clinicians and patients confront the limitations of body normativity in the CAREN system’s interface design, they improvise, resist, and experience virtual reality in ways that defy design agendas, ultimately shaping patient treatments and unique paths to healing and health. / Graduate
