Neuromyotonia and CASPR2 antibodies: electrophysiological clues to disease path...

Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) is a transmembrane protein of the neurexin superfamily, essential for clustering voltage-gated potassium channels, particularly Kv1, at the juxtaparanodal regions of myelinated axons. This precise localisation is essential for maintaining normal axonal excitability and preventing aberrant signal propagation. Autoantibodies targeting CASPR2 have been associated with v...

Neurological Involvement in a Portuguese Cohort of IgG4-Related Disease

Introduction: Neurological involvement in immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is increasingly recognized. Its diagnosis can be challenging due to clinical mimics and difficulty in obtaining nervous system biopsies. The aim of this study was to describe a cohort of neurological IgG4-RD patients.Methods: Patients were recruited from a neuroimmunology tertiary center. Clinical, laboratory, neuroimaging and...

A influência da neuromodulação não-invasiva, através das microcorrentes NESA, n...

Introdução: Patologias do nervo mediano associam-se a vários problemas, podendo causar até 28 dias de ausência laboral por ano. O sistema nervoso autónomo (SNA) poderá estar afetado neste tipo de patologias. Para avaliação de disfunções deste sistema pode ser utilizado a variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) e para o tratamento as microcorrentes NESA, que nos últimos anos tem vindo a crescer como método nã...

Prognostic Factors Associated with Disability in a Cohort of Neuromyelitis Opti...

Introduction: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and MOG-associated disease (MOGAD) are an increasingly recognized group of demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system. Previous studies suggest that prognosis is predicted by older age at onset, number of relapses, the severity of the first attack and autoantibody status. Objective: To study prognostic factors associated with disability pr...

A mobile app to support clinical diagnosis of upper respiratory problems (eHeal...

Background: The misuse of antibiotics is a global public health issue that fosters bacterial resistance and jeopardizes generational health. The development of validated tools such as web-based courses and mobile apps to enhance clinical decisions in upper respiratory infections is of great importance in reducing the incorrect use of antibiotics in these situations. Objective: The aim of this study was to desig...

A usability study of pharmacists’ perceptions toward an online course for respi...

Digital tools in healthcare have been rapidly emerging over the past decade, with these tools consisting of clinical decision support systems, diagnostic tools or educational materials, such as e-learning courses. eHealthResp comprises an online course, primarily aiming to support physicians and pharmacists on the management of upper respiratory tract infections. In order to assure the quality of the online cou...

Exploring direct costs of primary hip and knee arthroplasties healthcare-associ...

Hip or knee arthroplasty healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a public health problem that induces the increase of morbidity and mortality rates and poses an economic problem with significant impact on hospitals budget. The infection rate in primary hip and knee arthroplasties range between 1.5% and 2.5%, and is considered one of the main reasons for surgeries non-effectiveness. A retrospective study was ...
