Warfarin anticoagulation in the Covid-19 pandemic: Telephone-based management at a regional hematology outpatient center in Joinville, Brazil
Oral anticoagulation (OA) is a well-established therapeutic approach for prevention of cardioembolic stroke and venous thromboembolism [1]. Adequate OA is a key element in reducing the high social burden, morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases [2 –4]. In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern. Since then, the strategy of social distancing has been adopted in most countries, with varying degrees of restriction and compliance.

Is the unstable ataxic hand of Alajouanine and Akerman a distinct contribution?
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2021 Jun 21:S0035-3787(21)00552-X. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2020.12.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe discuss from a historical perspective whether the 1931 description of the "unstable ataxic hand" by Théophile Alajouanine, the fifth successor of Charcot at la Salpêtrière, and the Brazilian neurologist Abraham Akerman, then studying in France, merits being considered a distinct contribution vis-à-vis the earlier description by Oppenheim of the "useless hand syndrome". The specific object of the article by Alajouanine and Akerman was a semiologic sign, namely a pseudoathetosis localized in the hand...

Clinical Research, Basic ScienceEpidemiological Analysis of 37,424 Carotid Artery Stenosis Intervention procedures during 11 years in the Public Health System in Brazil: Stenting Has Been More Common than Endarterectomy
Stroke (cerebrovascular accident) figures among CVDs as the second leading cause of death worldwide, responding for approximately 5.7 million cases per year, which represent 10% of global mortality (1), as well as the third leading cause of disability globally (2). In Brazil, stroke is currently the second leading cause of death and impairing symptoms (3). In 10 to 20% of cases, strokes are secondary to carotid atherosclerosis (4), hence the relevance of analysing carotid bifurcation operative procedures as a sensible preventative measure for cerebral ischemic diseases.

Analysis of 565 thrombectomies for anterior circulation stroke: A Brazilian registry
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy for treatment of patients with AIS of the anterior circulation in real-life conditions under limited facilities and resources. The results of the present study were relatively similar to those of large trials and population registers of developed countries.PMID:34139892 | DOI:10.1177/15910199211026995

Clinimetric properties of the SATIS-Stroke questionnaire in the Brazilian population: A satisfaction assessment measure addressing activities and participation after a stroke
CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the SATIS-Stroke questionnaire exhibited adequate reliability, concurrent validity, and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, this is a valid, reproducible measure for the assessment of satisfaction with regard to activities and participation following a stroke.PMID:34030951 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2021.04.006

Stroke in Young Military Men With Heterozygous for MTHFR Gene Mutation or Factor V Leiden Gene Mutation Associated With Patent Foramen Ovale: Report of Two Cases and Therapeutic Strategy
We report two cases of Brazilian patients (a 22-year-old male and a 48-year-old male) with ischemic stroke, whose arterial vascular study and echocardiographic investigation did not reveal any steno-occlusive arterial disease or typical cardioembolic finding, such as atrial fibrillation or myocardial dysfunction. A transcranial Doppler ultrasound and a transesophageal echocardiogram showed a patent foramen ovale (PFO), and the laboratory screening for coagulation abnormalities showed heterozygosity for MTHFR C677T and A1298C in one of the patients and heterozygosity for factor V Leiden gene mutations in the other patient. ...

Acute chorea: case series from the emergency room of a Brazilian tertiary-level center
Conclusion: Acute chorea is an uncommon and challenging problem at the emergency room, often associated with potentially treatable causes. We suggest that use of the acronym DANCE (Diagnosis of chorea, Acute stroke protocol, Normal glucose levels, Check neuroimaging, Exposure to drugs) could form a potential initial approach in the evaluation, in order to emphasize causes that require prompt proper management (e.g. thrombolysis).RESUMO Introdu ção: Coreia é um distúrbio do movimento caracterizado por contrações musculares caóticas, migratórias, aleatórias e involuntárias. Usualmente, define-se como coreia aguda q...
