ABSTRACT

Introduction : The Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM III) specifically assesses individuals with spinal cord injuries. Objective : To translate and validate the Brazilian version of SCIM III. Method : SCIM III was translated, back-translated and adapted to the Portuguese language. Two interviewers assessed 83 subjects with spinal cord injuries in each one of seven collaborating rehabilitation centers. Functional Independence Measure (FIM™) and ASIA motor and sensory indices were also used. After six months, subjects were re-evaluated with the same instruments. Results : Examiners clearly understood the Brazilian version of SCIM III. Inter-rater intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.918, and test-retest ICC was 0.991. After six months, the variation of gains in the FIM™ positively correlated with gains in SCIM III. Conclusion : The Brazilian version of the SCIM III is easy to understand, has good psychometric properties, and is valid. .


Introdução : A Medida de Independência da Medula Espinhal III (SCIM III) avalia especificamente a funcionalidade de indivíduos com lesões da medula espinhal. Objetivo : Traduzir e validar a versão brasileira da SCIM III. Método : A SCIM III foi traduzida, contra-traduzida e adaptada para o idioma português brasileiro. Dois entrevistadores avaliaram 83 indivíduos com lesões da medular espinhal em sete centros de reabilitação colaboradores. A Medida de Independência Funcional (FIM™) e índices motor e sensitivo da ASIA também foram usados. Após seis meses, os sujeitos foram reavaliados com os mesmo instrumentos. Resultados : Os avaliadores entenderam claramente a versão brasileira da SCIM III. O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC) inter-examinadores foi 0,918, e de teste-reteste foi 0,991. Após seis meses, a variação de ganhos na FIM™ correlacionou-se positivamente com os ganhos da SCIM III. Conclusão : A versão brasileira da SCIM III é de fácil entendimento, apresenta boas propriedades psicométricas e é válida. .

ABSTRACT

La embolización de cristales de colesterol genera un síndrome multiorgánico inespecífico, severo, relativamente infrecuente y de difícil diagnóstico. Se produce por la oclusión de pequeños vasos en diferentes sistemas, entre ellos la piel, órgano diana frecuente. Se comunica el caso de un varón de 69 años con múltiples factores de riesgo cardiovascular y varios eventos desencadenantes que presentó embolización por microcristales de colesterol con compromiso cutáneo y renal.


Cholesterol crystal embolization is a rare and severe multiorganic syn-drome of diffi cult diagnosis. It occurs as a result of the occlusion of smallvessels in diff erent organs, being the skin a frequent diana.We present the case of a 69 years-old male with multiple cardiovascularrisk factors and many precipitant events. He developed cholesterol em-bolization syndrome with cutaneous and renal involvement.
