No. of bitstreams: 1 thiagoguimaraesnaves -dissert.pdf: 396666 bytes, checksum: 322f0d9f8506ec60598fc70d1e33cc6a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-10-20 / Objective: To establish electrophysiologic values for CTS diagnosis in the elderly. Casuistic and methods: thirty healthy volunteers with at least 65 years old were selected. Exclusion criteria were: any sensory symptom, peripheral neuropathy, sistemic diseases, alcohol abuse and wrist fracture. The following parameters were calculated: 1. Median sensory distal latency on the segment wrist - digit II, 14 cm (SDL); 2. Median/radial latency difference on the segment wrist - digit I, 10 cm (MRD); 3. Median/ulnar latency difference on the segment wrist - digit IV, 14 cm (MUD4); 4. Median/ulnar mixed latency difference on the segment palm - wrist, 8 cm (MUPD); 5. Combined sensory index (CSI), calculated as the adding of MRD, MUD4 and MUPD; 6. Mixed median palmar latency (PL), 8 cm; 7. Median/ulnar motor latency difference, lumbrical/interossei, 8 cm (LUMB); 8. Median motor distal latency, pulse-APB, 8 cm (DML). Results: Twenty-one volunteers were female and 9 were male. Mean age was 69.9 (range 65-86). The 97.5th upper normal limits suggested were: SDL 3.80 ms, MRD 0.95 ms, MUD4 0.95 ms, MUPD 0.50 ms, PL 2.45 ms, CSI 2.20 ms and DML 4.30 ms. Conclusions: The reference values for MRD, MUD4, MUDP and CSI in elderly are different from youngers. There are quite less differences for DSL and PL and none at all for DML. The use of these new values in elderly will reduce the number of false positives. / Objetivo: determinar parâmetros eletrofisiológicos para diagnóstico da STC em idosos. Casuística e Métodos: Trinta voluntários saudáveis com no mínimo 65 anos de idade foram selecionados. Os critérios de exclusão foram: quaisquer sintomas sensitivos, neuropatia periférica, doenças sistêmicas, abuso alcoólico e antecedente de fratura no pulso. Os seguintes parâmetros foram estudados: 1. Latência distal sensitiva do nervo mediano, segmento pulso-dedo II, 14 cm (LDS); 2. Diferença de latência sensitiva mediano/radial, pulso-dedo I, 10 cm (DMR); 3. Diferença de latência sensitiva mediano/ulnar, pulso-IV dedo, 14 cm (DMU4) ; 4. Diferença de latência mista mediano/ulnar, palma-pulso, 8 cm (DMUP); 5. Índice sensitivo combinado (ISC), calculado pela soma de DMR, DMU4 e DMUP; 6. Latência palmar mista do nervo mediano, 8cm (LP); 7. Diferença de latência motora mediano/ulnar lumbrical-interósseo, 8 cm (LUMB); 8. Latência distal motora do nervo mediano, pulso-APB, 8 cm (LDM). Resultados: Vinte e um voluntários eram mulheres e 9 homens com média de idade de 69,9 anos (variação 65-86). Os limites superiores de normalidade 97,5% sugeridos foram: LDS 3,80 ms, DMR 0,95 ms, DMU4 0,95 ms, DMUP 0,50 ms, LP 2,45 ms, ISC 2,20 ms e LDM 4,30 ms. Conclusões: Os valores de referência para DMR, DMU4, DMUP e ISC em idosos são diferentes em relação aos jovens. As diferenças foram menores para LDS e LP; não houve diferença para LDM. O uso destes novos valores reduzirá o número de exames falso-positivos em idosos.

Villabona, Esperanza Herrera 03 September 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T19:22:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 3198.pdf: 3159049 bytes, checksum: 5e8ac93b5a62ff5a959370c795dac4e9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-09-03 / This thesis presents three manuscripts derived of two research projects that were developed during the doctorate program. Project 1. Purpose: To determine the interand intra-rater reliability of nerve conduction studies (NCS) of superficial peroneal, sural and medial plantar nerves. Methods: Two raters performed the bilateral NCS twice in 20 healthy participants (23.5±3.5 years). Reliability was analyzed by the Bland- Altman method and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The Bland-Altman method showed a good level of intra- and inter-rater agreement for all parameters nerves. The amplitude and latency of the medial plantar nerve (rater 1), as well the amplitude of the sural nerve (rater 2) had an intra-rater ICC &#8805;0.75. Inter-rater analysis showed concordance levels between moderate and very low. Project 2. Purposes: a) To compare the effects of three cold modalities on the nerve conduction parameters of the sural (sensory) and tibial (motor) nerves during cooling and post-cooling phases b) To analyze the effect of exercise on recovery of sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV). Methods: Thirty six healthy young subjects (20.5±1.9 years) were randomly allocated into three groups: ice massage (n=12), ice pack (n=12) and cold water immersion (n=12). Each group received 1 of the 3 cold modalities on the right calf region for 15 minutes. The subjects of each modality group were again randomized to perform a post-cooling activity (30 min rest or walk 15 min followed by rest 15min). Nerve conduction parameters of sural and posterior tibial nerves were evaluated. Results: All 3 modalities reduced amplitude and increased latency and duration of the compound action potential. Ice massage, ice pack, and cold water immersion reduced NCV by 20.4, 16.7, and 22.6 m/s and motor NCV by 2.5, 2.1, and 8.3 m/s, respectively. Cold water immersion, as applied in this study, was the most effective modality in changing nerve conduction parameters. The walk accelerated the recovery of sensory and motor NCV, regardless of the modality previously applied (p<0.0001). Conclusions: The NCS provides quantitative measures that contribute to the objective analysis of neural physiological effects of cryotherapy. All 3 modalities were effective in altering sensory and motor nerve conduction. However, the magnitude and duration of these effects depend on the method applied and the activity after cooling. / Esta tese apresenta três manuscritos derivados de dois projetos de pesquisa que foram desenvolvidos no doutorado. Projeto 1. Objetivo: Avaliar a confiabilidade intra e interavaliador dos testes de condução nervosa (TCN) nos nervos sural, peroneal superficial e plantar medial. Métodos: Dois examinadores realizaram duas vezes os TCN bilaterais em 20 participantes saudáveis (23,5±3,5 anos). A confiabilidade foi analisada pelo método de Bland-Altman e o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC). Resultados: O método de Bland-Altman indicou um bom nível de concordância intra e inter-avaliador para todos os parâmetros dos TCN. Foram observados ICC intra-avaliador &#8805; 0,75 para amplitude e latência do nervo plantar medial (avaliador 1) e para a amplitude do nervo sural (avaliador 2). A análise inter-avaliador mostrou níveis de concordância entre moderados e muito baixos. Projeto 2. Objetivos: a) Comparar os efeitos de três modalidades de crioterapia sobre os parâmetros de condução dos nervos tibial posterior (motor) e sural (sensorial) durante as fases de resfriamento e pós-resfriamento b) Analisar o efeito do exercício físico na recuperação da velocidade de condução nervosa (VCN) sensorial e motora. Métodos: Trinta e seis sujeitos jovens e saudáveis (20,5±1,9 anos) foram alocados aleatoriamente em três grupos: criomassagem (n=12), pacote de gelo (n=12); imersão em água gelada (n=12). Cada grupo recebeu uma das 3 modalidades de resfriamento na panturrilha direita, durante 15 min. Os sujeitos de cada grupo foram novamente aleatorizados para realizar uma atividade pós-resfriamento (30min de repouso ou 15min de marcha seguido de 15min de repouso). Avaliaram-se os parâmetros de condução nos TCN dos nervos sural e tibial posterior. Resultados. As três modalidades reduziram a amplitude e aumentaram a latência e duração do potencial de ação composto. Criomassagem, pacote de gelo e imersão em água gelada reduziram a VCN sensorial em 20,4, 16,7 e 22,6 m/s, e a VCN motora em apenas 2,5, 2,1 e 8,3 m/s, respectivamente. Imersão em água gelada, como usada neste estudo, foi a modalidade mais eficaz para alterar os parâmetros de condução nervosa. A marcha acelerou a recuperação da VCN sensorial e motora, independente da modalidade previamente aplicada (P<0,0001). Conclusões. Os TCN fornecem medidas quantitativas que subsidiam análises objetivas e úteis na avaliação dos efeitos fisiológicos neurais da crioterapia. As 3 modalidades de resfriamento foram eficazes para alterar a condução sensorial e motora. Contudo, a magnitude e duração desses efeitos dependem do tipo de modalidade usada e da atividade que se realiza após o resfriamento.

Title: Electromyographic and clinical evaluation of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy in pediatric patients after treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and correlation with the Bruinkins-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition Objectives: The aim of this work was to characterize the neurological consequences of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) clinically and electromyographically and to evaluate motor skills of pediatric patients after the end of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We also determined the relationship between the results of the clinical and electromyographic evaluation of VIPN and the correlation with the results of motor skills tests. Methods: The study involved 35 probands (19 girls and 16 boys) with a mean age of 10.7 years (SD ± 4.3) and a mean time since the last dose of vincristine of 2.3 years (SD ± 1.2). VIPN was assessed using a clinical pediatric-modified Total Neuropathy Score (ped-mTNS) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Motor skills were assessed using the Bruinkins-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2). Results: The clinical presence of VIPN, according to ped-mTNS, was found in 20 % of probands. Abnormalities in nerve conduction studies were reported by 60.9 % of probands. Of these, 92.9 % had motor...
