Endovascular treatment of cerebral sinus thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immu...
Weller, Johannes; Krzywicka, Katarzyna; van de Munckhof, Anita; Dorn, Franziska; Althaus, Katharina; Bode, Felix J.; Bandettini di Poggio, MonicaIntroduction: There is little data on the role of endovascular treatment (EVT) of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Here, we describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of CVST-VITT patients who were treated with EVT. Patients and methods: We report data from an international registry of patients who developed CVST within 28 days of SARS...
The benefit of EXtending oral antiCOAgulation treatment EXCOA after acute cereb...
Miranda, Bruno; Aaron, Sanjith; Arauz, Antonio; Barinagarrementeria, Fernando; Borhani-Haghighi, Afshin; Carvalho, Marta; Conforto, Adriana B.Rationale: After a cerebral vein thrombosis, there is an increased risk of further venous thromboembolic events. The optimal duration of anticoagulation after cerebral vein thrombosis is unknown. Aim: To compare efficacy and safety of a policy of short- (3–6 months) versus long-term (12 months) anticoagulation (any type venous thromboembolic events) after cerebral vein thrombosis for the prevention of venous th...
Abnormal sensory integration affects balance control in hemiparetic patients wi...
Oliveira, Clarissa B.; Medeiros, Ítalo R. T.; Greters, Mario G.; Frota, Norberto A. F.; Lucato, Leandro Tavares; Scaff, Milberto; Conforto, Adriana B.OBJECTIVE: Impairments in balance can be a consequence of changes in the motor, sensory, and integrative aspects of motor control. Abnormal sensory reweighting, i.e., the ability to select the most appropriate sensory information to achieve postural stability, may contribute to balance impairment. The Sensory Organization Test is a component of Computerized Dynamic Posturography that evaluates the impact of vis...
Effects of somatosensory stimulation on the excitability of the unaffected hemi...
Conforto, Adriana B.; Santos, Renata Laurenti dos; Farias, Suzete Nascimento; Marie, Suely Kazue Nagahashi; Mangini, Nadia; Cohen, Leonardo G.INTRODUCTION: Somatosensory stimulation of the paretic upper limb enhances motor performance and excitability in the affected hemisphere, and increases activity in the unaffected hemisphere, in chronic stroke patients. We tested the hypothesis that somatosensory stimulation of the paretic hand would lead to changes in excitability of the unaffected hemisphere in these patients, and we investigated the relation ...
