Sleep-disordered breathing among acute ischemic stroke patients in Brazil.
No full textOBJECTIVES
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is very common in acute stroke patients and has been related to poor outcome. However, there is a lack of data about the association between SDB and stroke in developing countries. The study aims to characterize the frequency and severity of SDB in Brazilian patients during the acute phase of ischemic stroke; to identify clinical and laboratorial data related to SDB in those patients; and to assess the relationship between sleep apnea and functional outcome after six months of stroke.
METHODS
Clinical data and laboratorial tests were collected at hospital admission. The polysomnography was performed on the first night after stroke symptoms onset. Functional outcome was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
RESULTS
We prospectively evaluated 69 patients with their first-ever acute ischemic stroke. The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 37.7 ± 30.2. Fifty-three patients (76.8%) exhibited an AHI ≥ 10 with predominantly obstructive respiratory events (90.6%), and thirty-three (47.8%) had severe sleep apnea. Age (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.03-1.15; p= 0.004) and hematocrit (OR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.03-1.34; p= 0.01) were independent predictors of sleep apnea. Age (OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.03-1.24; p= 0.01), body mass index (OR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.54-2.18; p= 0.01), and hematocrit (OR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.01-1.40; p= 0.04) were independent predictors of severe sleep apnea. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS; OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.1-1.5; p= 0.001) and severe sleep apnea (OR: 9.7; 95% CI: 1.3-73.8; p= 0.03) were independently associated to mRS >2 at six months, after adjusting for confounders.
CONCLUSION
Patients with acute ischemic stroke in Brazil have a high frequency of SDB. Severe sleep apnea is associated with a poor long-term functional outcome following stroke in that population
The history of basilar artery occlusion: when art aids science
No full textABSTRACT Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) ischemic stroke is a relatively rare condition with high morbidity and mortality rates. To date, the best acute reperfusion therapy for BAO has still not been established, mainly due to the lack of randomized controlled trials in this field. In this article, we review the history of BAO diagnosis and treatment, and the impact of modern technological resources on the clinical evolution and prognosis of BAO over time. Furthermore, we describe historical events and nonmedical literature descriptions related to BAO. We conclude that BAO is a singular example of how art may help medical sciences with accurate descriptions of medical conditions

Antirretórica do menos: A poesia pós-concreta de augusto de campos
No full textEsta tese faz uma leitura da poesia de Augusto de Campos (1931-). O processo de pesquisa configurou-se a partir da estruturação da fortuna crítica, do levantamento das linhas teóricas e da leitura crítico-interpretativa dos poemas. Na análise da fortuna crítica identifica-se a plasmação de um lirismo marcado por negações e recusas, e a configuração de uma poética de antecipação , baseada na apropriação criativa da tecnologia. No levantamento das linhas teóricas utilizou-se o conceito de dialogismo cultural , no qual se destaca a Poesia Concreta e a ampliação do termo para concreção da linguagem , que consiste na valorização e exploração da materialidade da linguagem (Haroldo de Campos). Na leitura crítico-interpretativa, foram selecionados oito poemas, inseridos na fase pós-concreta do autor (1970-), a partir dos livros Despoesia (1994) e Não poemas (2003): 2ª via , Todos os sons , João/ agrestes , Ão , SOS , Caos , Sem saída , Inútil idade . A seleção do corpus foi realizada a partir da aplicação de quatro procedimentos: concisão , não linearidade gráfico-sonora , sintaxe analógica , modelização . A metodologia utilizada para a análise dos poemas baseou-se na Semiótica aplicada , na qual o próprio objeto deriva relações estéticas e extraestéticas. Este procedimento está contido na Semiótica da Cultura, em cuja base teórica apoia-se esta pesquisa, especificamente nos estudos de: Lotman, Bakhtin, Haroldo de Campos, Antonio Risério, Irene Machado, além de outros estudiosos: Chklovski, Jakobson, Eisenstein, Mukarovsky, Tinianov, Octavio Paz, Décio Pignatari, Julio Plaza, Paulo Leminski, Omar Khouri, Lucia Santaella. No âmbito da literatura brasileira assinalou-se o diálogo com a poesia de João Cabral de Melo Neto; no campo da intersemiose foi ressaltada a convergência com a música de João Gilberto, Anton Webern e John Cage. Sua poética apoia-se na incorporação de repertórios extraliterários, na prática inter(intra)semiótica, na plasmação de um lirismo contido, na hibridização do signo artístico, e na verticalização da função poética.Trata-se de poesia informada, e inconformada, que recusa a estética do fácil e não aceita a transformação da forma em fôrma. Neste sentido, a poesia de Augusto de Campos constitui um momento de atualização da linguagem poética, baseada na desautomatização da língua natural e na motivação do signo.This Doctorate dissertation is focused on the reading of Augusto de Campos poems (1931-). The research process consisted of a systematization of literary critics, theoretical basis analysis, and critical-interpretive reading of this author s poems. Starting from literary critics about Campos, one identified a plasmatic phenomenon in his lyric poems which is marked by denials and refusals, as well as a configuration of the so-called poetry in anticipation. Moreover, the latter is based on creative appropriation of technology. According to the theoretical basis used in this dissertation, one considered cultural dialogism wherein Concrete Poems are emphasized, as well as its amplified conception into concretion in language , which consists of valuation and exploitation of the materiality of language (Haroldo de Campos). As for the critical-interpretive reading of Augusto de Campos poems, one selected eight poems, which are inserted into Campos post-concrete phase (1970-). These poems are part of the following books: Despoesia (De Poetry, 1994) and Não poemas (Non Poems, 2003): 2ª via (Second Way) , Todos os sons (All Sounds) , João/ agrestes , Ão (Tion) , SOS , Caos (Chaos) , Sem saída (Dead-end) , Inútil idade (Use less useless age). The corpus selection was processed by the application of four procedures: concision , non-linear audio-graphic format , analogical syntax , modelling . The methodological analysis was based on Applied Semiotics , which states that the object itself can generate aesthetical and extra aesthetical relations. Such a procedure is related to Cultural Semiotics, of which theoretic argument this research is consisted of, especially in studies by authors, such as: Lotman, Bakhtin, Haroldo de Campos, Antonio Risério, Irene Machado. Among other authors, like: Chklovski, Jakobson, Eisenstein, Mukarovsky, Tinianov, Octavio Paz, Décio Pignatari, Julio Plaza, Paulo Leminski, Omar Khouri, and Lucia Santaella. With respect to Brazilian Literature, one established dialogisms with the poetry by João Cabral de Melo Neto; whereas in the intersemiotic field, this research highlights the music produced by João Gilberto, Anton Webern, and John Cage. Campos poetics is based on the incorporation of extra literary repertoire, on the inter(intra)semiosis practice, on the plasmatic phenomenon of a self-conscious lyric poem, on the hybridization of the artistic signs, and on the verticalization of poetic function. Moreover, such a poetry is meant to inform, combat, and refuse the easy aesthetic. Besides, it is meant not to accept the transformation of form into formula. On being so, Augusto de Campos poetry consists of a moment of renewing of poetic language, based on the foregrounding (Mukarovsky s term to defamiliarization of language), as well as the sign motivation
