Omega-3 intake in people with epilepsy under regular hemodialysis program: here...
Scorza,Carla Alessandra; Arida,Ricardo Mario; Cysneiros,Roberta Monterazzo; Cavalheiro,Esper Abrão; Scorza,Fulvio AlexandreAmong the many risk factors suggested for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), higher frequency of seizures is a very consistent issue. Furthermore, it has been established that hemodialysis-associated seizure is a complication of the dialysis procedure. Thus, since a possible relation between cardiovascular abnormalities and SUDEP among patients with chronic renal insufficiency in regular hemodialysis ...
Temporal lobe epilepsy with mesial temporal sclerosis: hippocampal neuronal los...
Jardim,Anaclara Prada; Neves,Rafael Scarpa da Costa; Caboclo,Luís Otávio Sales Ferreira; Lancellotti,Carmen Lucia Penteado; Marinho,Murilo MartinezOBJECTIVE: To analyze retrospectively a series of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), and the association of patterns of hippocampal sclerosis with clinical data and surgical prognosis. METHOD: Sixty-six patients with medically refractory TLE with unilateral MTS after anterior temporal lobectomy were included. Quantitative neuropathological evaluation was performed on...
Surgical and postmortem pathology studies: contribution for the investigation o...
Caboclo,Luís Otávio Sales Ferreira; Neves,Rafael Scarpa; Jardim,Anaclara Prada; Hamad,Ana Paula Andrade; Centeno,Ricardo SilvaPathology studies in epilepsy patients bring useful information for comprehending the physiopathology of various forms of epilepsy, as well as aspects related to response to treatment and long-term prognosis. These studies are usually restricted to surgical specimens obtained from patients with refractory focal epilepsies. Therefore, most of them pertain to temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with mesial temporal scle...
Relationship between fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) signal intensi...
Varella,Pedro Paulo Vasconcellos; Santiago,Joselita Ferreira Carvalho; Carrete Jr.,Henrique; Higa,Elisa Mieko Suemitsu; Yacubian,Elza Márcia TargasWe investigated a relationship between the FLAIR signal found in mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) and inflammation. Twenty nine patients were selected through clinical and MRI analysis and submitted to cortico-amygdalo-hippocampectomy to seizure control. Glutamate, TNFα, IL1, nitric oxide (NO) levels and immunostaining against IL1β and CD45 was performed. Control tissues (n=10) were obtained after autopsy of pat...
Evaluation of physical educators' knowledge about epilepsy
Vancini,Rodrigo Luiz; Lira,Claudio Andre Barbosa de; Silva,Sergio Gomes da; Scorza,Fúlvio Alexandre; Silva,Antonio Carlos da; Vieira,DouglasPeople with epilepsy suffer from a considerable lack of physical activity. In addition, an important problem of epilepsy management is the lack of qualified professionals. In this study we present data from a survey which aimed to assess physical educators' general knowledge about epilepsy. One hundred and thirty four physical educators of both sexes answered a questionnaire. Sixty percent of the professionals ...
Nestin down-regulation of cortical radial glia is delayed in rats submitted to ...
Scorza,Carla Alessandra; Arida,Ricardo Mario; Scorza,Fulvio Alexandre; Cavalheiro,Esper Abrão; Naffah-Mazzacoratti,Maria da GraçaOBJECTIVE: Nestin is temporarily expressed in several tissues during development and it is replaced by other protein types during cell differentiation process. This unique property allows distinguishing between undifferentiated and differentiated cells. This study was delineated to analyze the temporal pattern of nestin expression in cortical radial glial cells of rats during normal development and of rats subm...
Evaluation of intense physical effort in subjects with temporal lobe epilepsy
Camilo,Fabio; Scorza,Fúlvio Alexandre; Albuquerque,Marly de; Vancini,Rodrigo Luiz; Cavalheiro,Esper Abrão; Arida,Ricardo MarioPeople with epilepsy have been discouraged from participating in physical activity due to the fear that it will exacerbate seizures. Although the beneficial effect of aerobic exercise in people with epilepsy, little objective evidence regarding the intensity of exercise has been reported. We investigated the effect of incremental physical exercise to exhaustion in people with epilepsy. Seventeen persons with te...
Physical exercise in rats with epilepsy is protective against seizures: evidenc...
Arida,Ricardo Mario; Scorza,Fulvio Alexandre; Terra,Vera Cristina; Cysneiros,Roberta Monterazzo; Cavalheiro,Esper AbrãoPeople with epilepsy have been discouraged from participating in physical activity due to the fear that it will exacerbate seizures. Clinical and animal studies indicate a reduction of seizure frequency as well as decrease susceptibility to subsequently evoked seizures after an exercise program. Analyses from experimental studies of animals with epilepsy submitted to physical training programs were performed. I...
Epilepsia e neuroproteção: o papel do agonista adenosinérgico A1(RPia) na modul...
Silva,Iara Ribeiro; Nehlig,Astrid; Rosim,Fernanda Elisa; Vignoli,Thiago; Persike,Daniele Suzete; Blini,João Paulo; Cavalheiro,Esper AbrãoOBJETIVO: O objetivo desse estudo foi caracterizar a neuroproteção do RPia em ratos submetidos ao status epilepticus (SE) induzido pela pilocarpina (Pilo). MÉTODOS: Avaliou-se o balanço entre utilização local da glicose cerebral (ULGC) e fluxo sanguíneo cerebral local (FSCL) após 4 horas de SE, e a marcação por Fluoro Jade-B (FJB), 24 horas e 90 dias após SE. Quatro grupos foram avaliados: Salina, Pilo, RPia+Sa...
Avaliação dos hábitos de atividades físicas de adolescentes com epilepsia do mu...
Cervelini,Renato; Scorza,Fulvio Alexandre; Cavalheiro,Esper Abrão; Arida,Ricardo MárioINTRODUÇÃO: Apesar da prática da atividade física ser enfatizada na sociedade atual pelos benefícios que proporciona sobre a aptidão física e saúde, assim como naqueles com diferentes tipos de doenças, pessoas com epilepsia são frequentemente desencorajados e excluídos da participação de programas de atividade física, pelo medo de que a prática de atividade física possa desencadear ou piorar as crises epiléptic...
