1. Dor torácica e/ou na cintura escapular pode estar relacionada a disfunções na ATM?
Há relação entre disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) e dor torácica. Um estudo realizado em 2003 com 186 pacientes revelou que 38% deles relataram sentir dor também na região craniofacial durante um episódio do infarto e em 15%, no momento do infarto, apenas dor nessa região foi sentida, em detrimento de outras partes que caracterizam, pontualme

2. Neuromuscular diseases and social distance resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic
Resumo Antecedentes A síndrome respiratória aguda grave por coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), genericamente chamada de COVID-2019, classificada como pandemia pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, tem feito as práticas de saúde em todo o mundo enfrentar desafios únicos. Desde então, o distanciamento físico e medidas como o confinamento foram adotadas por d

3. Perspectives on the modeling of the neuromusculoskeletal system to investigate the influence of neurodegenerative diseases on sensorimotor control
Abstract Introduction The understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying movement control can be much furthered using computational models of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Biologically based multi-scale neuromusculoskeletal models have a great potential to provide new theories and explanations related to mechanisms behind muscle force gen

4. Patients with severe accidental tetanus admitted to an intensive care unit in Northeastern Brazil: clinical–epidemiological profile and risk factors for mortality
Abstract Introduction Tetanus, an acute infectious disease, is highly prevalent worldwide, especially in developing countries. Due to respiratory failure and hemodynamic instability associated with dysautonomia, severe cases require intensive care, but little has been published regarding the management in the Intensive Care Unit. Objective To draw a 10-yea

5. Ultrasound imaging in women's arm flexor muscles: intra-rater reliability of muscle thickness and echo intensity
ABSTRACT Background Different ultrasound parameters have been frequently used to assess changes associated with training, aging, immobilization, and neuromuscular diseases. However, an exploratory reliability analysis of the echo intensity (EI) and muscle thickness (MT) of the forearm flexors is scarce, especially in women. Objective The purpose of the pre

6. Neuromuscular disorders: genes, genetic counseling and therapeutic trials
Abstract Neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic conditions, with autosomal dominant, recessive, or X-linked inheritance. They are characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. Here, we are presenting our major contributions to the field during the past 30 years. We have mapped and identified several novel genes re

7. Is the difference in the volume of the pharyngeal space, as measured by acoustic pharyngometry, before and after tonsillectomy proportional to the volume of the excised tonsils?
OBJECTIVE: Adenotonsillectomy is recognized as an effective therapy for snoring and sleep disorders in children. It is important to understand whether adenotonsillectomy significantly increases the volume of the pharyngeal space. The goal of this study was to evaluate the change in oropharyngeal volume after adenotonsillectomy and the correlation of this ch

8. Longitudinal assessment of grip strength using bulb dynamometer in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
BACKGROUND: Grip strength is used to infer functional status in several pathological conditions, and the hand dynamometer has been used to estimate performance in other areas. However, this relationship is controversial in neuromuscular diseases and studies with the bulb dynamometer comparing healthy children and children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (D

9. Distrofia muscular de cinturas em crianças brasileiras: caracterização clínica, histologia e molecular
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic muscular dystrophies, involving 16 autosomal recessive subtypes and eight autosomal dominant subtypes. Autosomal recessive dystrophy is far more common than autosomal dominant dystrophy, particularly in children. The clinical course in this group is characterized by progressive prox

10. Effect of upper extremity proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with elastic resistance bands on respiratory muscle strength: a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Elastic resistance bands (ERB) combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are often used in resistance muscle training programs, which have potential effects on peripheral muscle strength. However, the effects of the combination of ERB and PNF on respiratory muscle strength warrant further investigation. OBJECTIVES: The a

11. Avaliação do pico de fluxo de tosse e capacidade vital forçada em pacientes com distrofia muscular ou amiotrofia espinhal submetidos a treinamento de empilhamento de ar / Evaluation of peak cough flow and forced vital capacity in patients with muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy submitted to air stacking training
Introdução: As complicações respiratórias, somadas a baixos volumes pulmonares e tosse ineficiente, decorrentes da fraqueza da musculatura respiratória nas doenças neuromusculares (DNM), são as principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade. Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos do treinamento de empilhamento de ar na função respiratória de pacientes com D

12. Disauthorizing socially patterned suffering in patients suffering from neuromuscular diseases / Desautorizando o sofrimento socialmente padronizado, em pacientes afetados por doenças neuromusculares
From the results of the project (2006 to 2011) at the Psychoanalysis Clinic of the Human Genome Center at the University of São Paulo (USP), which gives priority to those suffering from neuromuscular diseases of genetic origin, we undertook a study whose hypothesis is that the diagnosis of a genetic change may act as an insult leaping upon at the patient (i
