ABSTRACT

This retrospective study describes 14 cases of intercostal nerve mononeuropathy (INM) found in 5,560 electromyography (EMG) exams performed between January 1991 and June 2004 in our University Hospital. Medical charts of all patients with history of thoracic pain and EMG diagnosis of intercostal mononeuropathy were reviewed. INM was detected in 14 patients; etiology was thoracic surgery in 6 (43%), post-herpetic neuropathy in 4 (28%), probable intercostal neuritis in 2 (14%), lung neoplasia in 1 (7%), and radiculopathy in 1 (7%). From this study, trauma and infection were the main etiologies in intercostal neuropathic pain development. Tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants were the most common therapeutic drugs used.


Este trabalho apresenta estudo retrospectivo de 14 pacientes com mononeuropatia de nervo intercostal (MNI), obtidos dentre 5.560 exames eletromiográficos, realizados de janeiro de 1991 até junho de 2004, em nosso Hospital Universitário. MNI foi encontrada em 14 pacientes, tendo como causas prováveis intervenções cirúrgicas torácicas em 6 (43%), neuropatia por herpes-zoster em 4 (28%), provável neurite de nervo intercostal em 2 (14%), neoplasia pulmonar em 1 (7%) e radiculopatia em 1 (7%). As principais causas de MNI de nosso Serviço são similares às da literatura. Os antidepressivos tricíclicos e anticonvulsivantes foram os fármacos mais utilizados no controle da dor.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the impact of printed matter, video, and multimedia on the learning/teaching process in Tropical Diseases. Eighty-four of 90 fourth-year medical students at Botucatu School of Medicine of UNESP were evaluated. The students received a kit containing a textbook, a video, and a CD-ROM on the Clinical Study of Tetanus to prepare a seminar on the subject. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire, which led to the following conclusions: 67.86 per cent read the textbook, 91.66 per cent watched the video, and 77.38 per cent explored the CD-ROM. These results were obtained observing the total number of students using each different media. When asked which of these media contributed most, the CD-ROM came out on top. The authors stress that this learning teaching process motivated the students by opening possibilities for new teaching alternatives in medicine.

ABSTRACT

Provas funcionais respiratorias foram realizadas em 58 pacientes com Paracoccidioidomicose (Pbmicose) pulmonar uni e multifocal em 52; tumoral em 5 e genital feminino interno em 01. A idade oscilou de 20 a 74 anos e a duracao da doenca variou de 3 a 25 anos. Manifestacoes respiratorias, tegumentares e linfaticas foram predominantes. Catorze deles desenvolveram Cor pulmonale, funcao renal alterada em 19, modificacoes eletrocardiograficas em 8 e atividade hiporeatora adrenal em 13 dos 20 casos estudados. A analise radiologica revelou lesoes designadas: leve em 16; moderada em 24 e grave em 18 que a evolucao evidenciaram: manutencao e piora, respectivamente, em 35 e em 23 deles. As provas funcionais respiratorias mostraram: espirografia normal em 17; obstrutivo em 32 e misto em 9 doentes. O espaco morto foi superior a 35 por cento em 25 e a ventilacao alveolar minuto estava elevada em 54. A diferenca alveolo-arterial de Oxigenio estava aumentada em todos. A analise estatistica revelou associacao significativa entre radiologia: evolucao radiologica e a funcao pulmonar. A Pbmicose em doentes tabagistas inveterados conduziu ao enfisema, enquanto que as modificacoes alveolo-arteriais anoxemicas propiciaram a disseminacao da Doenca de Lutz.
