Zachoval, Jakub January 2020 (has links)
Name: Effectivness of Basic Life Support in Children Provided by Wheelchair Users Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of elementary emergency resuscitation children under 1yr of age with three selected positions of resuscitation manikin in persons using a wheelchair for their movement. Based on the comparison of the results when positioning the manikin on a lap, on a mat and on the ground, aim is to evaluate the most suitable position for performing elementary emergency resuscitation. Method: The research group consisted of ten people with spinal cord injury (four with tetraplegia and six with paraplegia), who use wheelchair for their movement. Three methods of data collection were used in this work. A survey was used for the first method, which obtained anamnestic data of the research group. The second method of data collection was the observation of probands during first aid. The third selected method was a measurement using a SimPad SkillReporter and a Resusci Baby QCPR resuscitation manikin. The measurement was used to evaluate the effectiveness of elementary emergency resuscitation of children for five minutes in three selected positions. Results: Based on observations and measurements, it was found that all probands are able to lift and manipulate a...

Program BanalFatal v prevenci úrazů páteře a míchy / The BanalFatal program in spinal cord injury prevention.

Pokorný, Václav January 2020 (has links)
Title: The BanalFatal program in spinal cord injury prevention Objectives: The main objective of this diploma thesis is to examine the subjective impressions of participants after the completion of this program (lesson) so that it is possible to assess the emotional impact of the program and its impact on the further behavior of children. Methods: A quantitative strategy was used for the research part of the thesis. For the purposes of the research, two original questionnaires were created. 6 primary schools were contacted, in which the BanalFatal program previously took place. The questionnaire, aimed at school prevention methodologists, was filled in by all addressed school staff, but only in 4 school facilities, it was possible to interview school pupils. Thus, 6 school prevention methodologists and 164 pupils from 4 selected primary schools (Prague 11, 4, Litoměřice, Dačice) were interviewed. The questionnaire for prevention methodologists contains closed, semi-closed, and open questions. The questionnaire for pupils was created in the form of a survey and contained only closed questions. Results: All school methodologists presume that attending the BanalFatal lecture will have a certain effect on students' change in behavior during risky activities. "Certainly yes" was stated by 1 and "rather...

Estudo da condução nervosa em pacientes com a síndrome SPOAN / Nerve conduction studies on SPOAN syndrome

Amorim, Simone Consuelo de 02 August 2013 (has links)
Introdução: A síndrome SPOAN é uma doença neurodegenerativa, de transmissão genética autossômica recessiva, até o momento reconhecida apenas no Brasil, que caracteriza-se por: paraplegia espástica, de início nos primeiros anos de vida e caráter progressivo; atrofia óptica congênita; neuropatia periférica sensitivo-motora axonal, de início a partir da primeira década de vida; sobressaltos à estimulação sonora, disartria, deformidades de coluna e pés e sinais extra piramidais. A sua caracterização foi feita por nosso grupo, que avaliou clinicamente 71 indivíduos, originários do Rio Grande do Norte. Estudo de ligação mapeou o locus responsável pela síndrome SPOAN em uma região de 2 Mb no cromossomo 11q13. O gene responsável pela síndrome SPOAN permanece desconhecido. A síndrome SPOAN é considerada uma forma complicada de paraplegia espástica. A associação entre neuropatia e paraplegia espástica está relacionada à perda progressiva de axônios longos e tem sido relatada em algumas formas complicadas de neuropatias e paraplegias espásticas hereditárias. Casuística e métodos: Foi realizada a avaliação de 27 pacientes, 20 mulheres, com idade variando entre 4 e 58 anos. Todos os indivíduos compartilhavam o mesmo fenótipo (paraplegia espástica, atrofia de nervo óptico e neuropatia periférica) e tinham o mesmo haplótipo 11q13. Pacientes com história de diabetes mellitus ou alcoolismo foram excluídos do estudo. A avaliação neurológica incluiu a pesquisa dos escores modificados de sintomas e comprometimento neuropáticos. A força muscular foi testada e graduada conforme a escala MRC (Medical Research Council). Foi realizada a pesquisa da sensibilidade dolorosa, térmica, tátil, vibratória e artrestésica. O trofismo foi avaliado pela presença de deformidades na coluna e atrofia nos membros inferiores. Os reflexos profundos e o cutâneo plantar também foram analisados. Os estudos da condução nervosa foram realizados em um aparelho portátil Nicolet - Viking Quest, (Viasys, USA). Para os estudos de condução motora foram analisados os nervos axillar, mediano, ulnar, femoral, tibial e fibular direito. A condução sensitiva foi analisada nos nervos mediano, ulnar, radial, sural e fibular direito. O reflexo H e as ondas F foram avaliados com técnicas padrão. Alguns testes não puderam ser realizados devido à intensa atrofia e deformidades esqueléticas. O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson foi calculado entre a idade e os parâmetros, velocidade de condução, latência e amplitude. Valores de P < 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significantes. Resultados: Avaliação clínica: Todos os pacientes obtiveram escore de sinais neuropáticos graves e demonstraram déficit de força e atrofia distal. Deformidades dos pés estavam presentes em todos os pacientes e deformidades na coluna, em 58%. Os reflexos profundos dos membros superiores estavam exaltados em 92% dos casos e o reflexo patelar, em 63%. O reflexo Aquileu estava ausente em todos os pacientes. Todas as modalidades de sensibilidade foram afetadas, principalmente nos membros inferiores. Os dados do exame de sensibilidade na paciente de 4 anos foram desconsiderados. Estudo da condução nervosa sensitiva: Os SNAPs dos nervos mediano, sural e fibular estavam ausentes em todos os pacientes. SNAPs do nervo ulnar estavam ausentes em 96% da amostra e do nervo radial, em 80%. Estudo da condução nervosa motora: As latências motoras dos nervos axilar e femoral estavam normais em todos os pacientes. As amplitudes dos CMAPs estavam reduzidas em 15 e 52% da amostra nos nervos mediano e ulnar, respectivamente. Velocidades de condução estavam reduzidas em 50 e 41% desta casuística nos nervos mediano e ulnar, respectivamente. Velocidades de condução estavam acima de 80% do limite inferior da normalidade, em todos os nervos, exceto em 1 paciente que apresentou redução de 27% no nervo ulnar. Entretanto, este mesmo paciente apresentou amplitude menor que 2mV. Ondas F apresentavam aumento da latência, de acordo com a altura, em 100% dos casos. CMAPs estavam ausentes em 93 e 84% da amostra nos nervos fibular e tibial, respectivamente. Reflexo H estava ausente em 88% dos pacientes. Não houve correlação entre idade e a velocidade de condução, latência e amplitude dos nervos mediano e ulnar. Discussão: O estudo da condução nervosa neste grupo preencheu critérios para uma neuropatia primária axonal. Nenhum paciente apresentou bloqueio de condução ou dispersão temporal. As alterações encontradas na velocidade de condução provavelmente se devem à perda de fibras nervosas de condução rápida. Fenótipos SPOAN-like foram descritos em famílias com mutações nos genes C12orf65, TFG e OPA1. No entanto, não existem detalhes sobre a condução nervosa nestes pacientes. Neuropatia axonal de início tardio foi relacionada à SPG55 e DOA (dominant optic atrophy), enquanto neuropatia axonal e desmielinizante com leve comprometimento sensitivo foi descrita na família com mutação no gene TFG. Conclusão: Os pacientes com a síndrome SPOAN apresentam uma acentuada neuropatia axonal, sensitivo motora. As alterações encontradas na condução nervosa dos pacientes com síndrome SPOAN não são específicas, no entanto, resultados normais excluem esta condição em adultos. A paciente mais jovem desta casuística já apresentava alterações ao exame, o que pode sugerir um início precoce da neuropatia. Entretanto, não temos dados suficientes para afirmar que este seja um achado comum a todos os pacientes SPOAN / Introduction: SPOAN syndrome (Spastic Paraplegia, Optic Atrophy and Neuropathy) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance described by our group in a large inbred family from Northeastern Brazil. The clinical picture is characterized by non-progressive congenital optic atrophy, progressive spastic paraplegia, axonal neuropathy, auditory startles, dysarthria, spinal and foot deformities and also extrapyramidal signs. Linkage studies mapped the responsible locus for the syndrome to a 2Mb region on chromosome 11q13. The gene responsible for SPOAN syndrome remains elusive. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional study which was conducted from 2009 to 2011. We evaluated 27 patients (20 females), with a0ges ranging from 4 to 58 years. All patients shared the same phenotype (spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy and peripheral neuropathy) and had the same 11q13 haplotype in homozygosis. Patients with history of diabetes mellitus or alcoholism were excluded from this study. All patients were evaluated by the same clinical researcher (SA). Neurological evaluation included determination of modified neuropathy symptoms (NSS) and neuropathy disability (NDS) scores. Motor strength was assessed using MRC scale. Sensibility assessment included small-fiber (pain and temperature) and large-fiber modalities (vibration-128Hz diapason, 10g monofilament and joint position sense). Spine deformities and atrophy in the lower limbs were observed. We also evaluated osteotendineous reflexes and cutaneous plantar reflexes. Nerve conduction studies were performed using a portable Nicolet - Viking Quest, (Viasys,USA). Motor conduction studies included axillary, median, ulnar, femoral, tibial and fibular nerves on the right side. Sensory nerve action potentials of median, ulnar, sural and superficial fibular nerves were recorded using a bar electrode of 3 cm and standard fixed distances. Tibial H-reflex was evaluated with standard technique. Minimal F wave latencies were obtained from ulnar and tibial nerves. A few tests could not be done in every patient due to severe deformities. We calculated Pearson\'s correlation coefficients between age and nerve conduction parameters, including velocities, latencies and amplitudes. P values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Clinical data: Neuropathic symptoms such as pain and paresthesias were rare. All patients had signs of severe neuropathy. All subjects demonstrated weakness and atrophy that were more significant distally than proximally. Foot deformities were present in all patients and spine deformities were seen in 58%. Upper limb deep tendon reflexes were exalted in 92% and patelar reflex in 63%. Ankle reflex was absent in all patients. In one patient, who was 4 years-old, sensory evaluation was inconsistent and the results were not considered. In all the other ones, sensory modalities were affected and occurred predominantly in the lower limbs. Electrodiagnostic data: Sensory nerve conduction: Median nerve SNAP was absent in all 27 patients. Ulnar nerve SNAPs were absent in 96%, whereas radial nerve SNPAs were absent in 80%. Superficial fibular and sural SNAPs were absent in all patients. Motor nerve conduction: The motor latencies of axillary and femoral nerves were normal in all patients. CMAP amplitudes were reduced in 15% of the median nerves and in 52% of the ulnar nerves. Conduction velocities (CV) were reduced in 50% of the median nerves and in 41% of the ulnar nerves. CV was above 80% of the lower normal limit for all nerves, except for one patient who showed a 27% reduction of ulnar CV, but had also a CMAP amplitude of less than 2 mV. F waves were prolonged according to the height in 100%. Only one patient who presented significant motor CV reduction of the ulnar nerve. CMAPs were absent in 93% of the fibular nerves and in 84% of the tibial nerves. A single fibular nerve showed more than 20% of CV reduction, but also had severely reduced CMAP amplitude. H reflex was absent in 88% of the patients. There was no correlation between age and neurophysiological parameters, such as median or ulnar CV, latencies or CMAP amplitudes. Discussion: Nerve conduction studies in this group fulfill criteria for primary axonal neuropathy. No patient showed conduction block or temporal dispersion. Abnormalities seen in CV and F waves are probably related to loss of fast conduction fiber nerves. We could not demonstrate correlation between age and nerve conduction parameters, including velocities, latencies and amplitudes. SPOAN-like phenotype has been found in families with mutations in C12orf65, TFG and OPA1 genes, however there is no detailed report on nerve conduction studies in these conditions. Axonal neuropathy is also described in SPG55 and DOA plus, but usually with a later onset than on SPOAN syndrome. Peripheral neuropathy is also described in the family with mutation in TFG gene, but this presents a different pattern characterized as a mixed axonal demyelinating neuropathy with mild sensory involvement. Although the nerve conduction abnormalities seen in SPOAN syndrome are not specific, normal results seem to rule out this condition, at least in adult patients. The younger patient in our series was 4-years-old, and her neurophysiological study was severely abnormal, suggesting an early-onset neuropathy. However, we do not have a comprehensive study of several young patients to support that this feature is

Combination of stem cells from deciduous teeth and electroacupuncture in dogs with chronic spinal cord injury / Associação de células-tronco de polpa de dente decíduo e eletroacupuntura em cães com lesão medular crônica

Prado, César Vinicius Gil Braz do 20 December 2016 (has links)
Previous studies have reported that combination of electroacupuncture (EA) and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) promoted survival, differentiation and functional recovery in spinal cord-transected rats. In this study, it was examined the therapeutic effects of stem cells from canine exfoliated dental pulp (SCED) combined with EA treatment in dogs with chronic naturally occurred spinal cord injury due to intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). Dogs were randomly assigned to four experimental groups (n=4 for each group; total of 16 animals): SCED, EA, SCED + EA) and control. Mild increase in the neurological scoring was found in one animal from SCED group (1/4; 2 points gained), one from EA group (1/4; 8 points gained), three from SCED+EA group (3/4; 16 points gained) and one from control group (1/4; 2 points gained). Functional outcome improvements were observed two animals from SCED group (2/4; 3 points gained), two from EA group (2/4; 4 points gained), one from SCED+EA group (1/4; 1 point gained) and two were from control group (2/4; 6 points gained). However no statistical differences were observed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings did not suggest improvement comparing pre- and post-treatment within groups, excepted from one animal from SCED group (1/4), and 10 animals from all groups (10/16) presented signs of injury progression in the SCI in post-treatment exam, which could not be associated to the procedures from study, but could be related to the natural evolution of the disease. Limitation such as number of transplanted stem cells, delivery route, injury chronicity and intrinsic variation among naturally spinal cord injured dogs could have influence outcomes negatively. Moreover, canine deciduous exfoliated teeth were easily obtained and SCED were simply isolated, and no mortality followed up 7 month from procedure were observed. / Estudos anteriores demonstraram que a associação da eletroacupuntura e células-tronco mesenquimais/estromais (CTMs) pode promover a sobrevivência e diferenciação das CTMs, assim como recuperação funcional em ratos com transecção da medula espinal. Neste estudo, foram avaliados os efeitos terapêuticos da associação de células-tronco derivadas de polpa de dente decíduo esfoliado de cães (CPDEc) e eletroacupuntura (EAP) em cães com lesão de medula espinhal crônica causada de forma natural por herniação do disco interververtebral. Os cães foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos experimentais (n=4 para cada grupo; total de 16 animais): CPDEc, EAP, CPDEc+EAP e grupo controle. Foram encontradas pequenas melhoras na pontuação do exame neurológico em um animal do grupo CPDEc (1/4; 2 pontos ganhos), um do grupo EAP (1/4; 8 pontos ganhos), três do grupo CPDEc+EAP (3/4; 16 pontos ganhos) e um do grupo controle (1/4; 2 pontos ganhos). Na avaliação funcional, pequenas melhoras também foram observadas em dois animais do grupo CPDEc (2/4; 3 pontos ganhos), dois do grupo EAP (2/3; 4 pontos ganhos), um do grupo CPDEc+EAP (1/4; 1 ponto ganho) e dois do grupo controle (2/4; 6 pontos ganhos). No entanto, não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos. Os achados ressonância magnética não sugeriram melhoras comparando os exames pré e pós tratamento entre os grupos, com exceção de um animal do grupo CPDEc (1/4), e 10 animais dentre todos os grupos (10/16) apresentaram sinais de progressão na lesão da medula espinhal, que não puderam ser associados com os procedimentos do estudo, mas podem estar relacionados à progressão natural da doença. Além disso, os dentes decíduos esfoliados foram obtidos facilmente e as CPDEc foram isoladas de forma simples, ademais, não foi observada nenhuma mortalidade foi observada até 7 meses após o procedimento.

Neste estudo, foram avaliados os efeitos terapêuticos da associação de células-tronco derivadas de polpa de dente decíduo esfoliado de cães (CPDEc) e eletroacupuntura (EAP) em cães com lesão de medula espinhal crônica causada de forma natural por herniação do disco interververtebral. Os cães foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos experimentais (n=4 para cada grupo; total de 16 animais): CPDEc, EAP, CPDEc+EAP e grupo controle. Foram encontradas pequenas melhoras na pontuação do exame neurológico em um animal do grupo CPDEc (1/4; 2 pontos ganhos), um do grupo EAP (1/4; 8 pontos ganhos), três do grupo CPDEc+EAP (3/4; 16 pontos ganhos) e um do grupo controle (1/4; 2 pontos ganhos). Na avaliação funcional, pequenas melhoras também foram observadas em dois animais do grupo CPDEc (2/4; 3 pontos ganhos), dois do grupo EAP (2/3; 4 pontos ganhos), um do grupo CPDEc+EAP (1/4; 1 ponto ganho) e dois do grupo controle (2/4; 6 pontos ganhos). No entanto, não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos. Os achados ressonância magnética não sugeriram melhoras comparando os exames pré e pós tratamento entre os grupos, com exceção de um animal do grupo CPDEc (1/4), e 10 animais dentre todos os grupos (10/16) apresentaram sinais de progressão na lesão da medula espinhal, que não puderam ser associados com os procedimentos do estudo, mas podem estar relacionados à progressão natural da doença. Além disso, os dentes decíduos esfoliados foram obtidos facilmente e as CPDEc foram isoladas de forma simples, ademais, não foi observada nenhuma mortalidade foi observada até 7 meses após o procedimento.
