ABSTRACT

No diagnóstico das lesões neurológicas periféricas é usualmente realizado o exame clínico que consta de mapeamento sensitivo, palpação de nervo e teste de força muscular associado a outros métodos como a avaliação analógica da dor. Todos esses exames podem ser graduados numericamente, constituindo assim um Escore Clínico (EC) para o monitoramento da função neural em estudos longitudinais e análises estatísticas. Atualmente os registros são manuais e anexados ao prontuário do paciente dificultando a organização e visualização em longo prazo da função neural.

ABSTRACT

Despite some positive experiences, surgical rehabilitation, presently, is minimally available in endemic countries and the contingent of patients in need of this modality of treatment is enlarging constantly. With the reduction of prevalence of leprosy and the progressive integration of care of leprosy-affected persons into the general health services, surgical rehabilitation should be made available in these centres. Training health personnel of general health services in leprosy surgery is mandatory and urgent. There is a need for the settlement of a multi-organizational task-force (WHO-ILEP-ILA) to deal with this problem. The aim of this task-force should be the definition of strategies to organize such training and to increase awareness among medical societies and schools regarding this issue. This group should also remember that the referral centres in Africa, Asia, North and South America should act as reservoir of this knowledge and, as such, should be fully supported and enhanced, since they have an important and unique role to play in the training of general health services personnel.

ABSTRACT

Os autores apresentam uma técnica para realizar estudo de conduçao nervosa em tatus (D. novemcinctus) e sugerem que 66.17 m/s poderia ser a média da velocidade de conduçao normal para o nervo ciático, um parâmetro que pode ser usado para a avaliaçao do sistema nervoso periférico nesse animal, considerando-se a sua escolha como modelo experimental na hanseníase, e mesmo em outras neuropatias periféricas.
