1. Quais fatores de risco para ocorrência de parestesia do nervo alveolar inferior durante a remoção de molares inferiores que estejam em íntimo contato com o canal mandibular?
Os fatores de risco à ocorrência de parestesia do nervo alveolar inferior são: a idade avançada do paciente, a dificuldade operatória do caso e a proximidade entre o terceiro molar inferior e o canal mandibular.
Essa proximidade poderá ser prevista por três sinais radiográficos: desvio do canal em direção aos ápices radiculares, presença

2. O que é e o que define se um paciente deve ou não realizar cirurgia para catarata?
A catarata se caracteriza pela nebulosidade na lente do olho, levando a uma visão embaçada, comprometendo a qualidade de vida ou limitando as atividades do dia a dia, como ler e dirigir. A cirurgia é o único tratamento que, além de ser coberta pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), é recomendada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) por ser a cat

3. Revisiting global cognitive and functional state 13 years after a clinical trial of lithium for mild cognitive impairment
Objectives: To re-evaluate a sample of older adults enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of lithium for amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) after 11 to 15 years, re-assessing their current (or last available) global cognitive and functional state. Methods: We recalled all former participants of the Lithium-MCI trial conducted by our group between

4. Heterozygosity for neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis predisposes to bipolar disorder
Objective: Bipolar disorder is a heritable chronic mental disorder that causes psychosocial impairment through depressive/manic episodes. Familial transmission of bipolar disorder does not follow simple Mendelian patterns of inheritance. The aim of this study was to describe a large family with 12 members affected by bipolar disorder. Whole-exome sequencing

5. Is there a link between heart rate variability and cognitive decline? A cross-sectional study on patients with mild cognitive impairment and cognitively healthy controls
Resumo Antecedentes Como não existe até o momento uma estratégia eficaz para tratar a demência de comprometimento cognitivo leve (MCI, na sigla em inglês), as intervenções em um estágio prodrômico são consideradas uma opção. Embora as funções autonômicas tenham sido relacionadas ao desempenho cognitivo, ambos os aspectos raramente foram estud

6. Patterns of impairment in decision-making capacity in Alzheimer’s disease and its relationship with cognitive and clinical variables
Objectives: To investigate the patterns of impairment in decision-making abilities and their relationship with cognitive and clinical symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. We hypothesized that decision-making abilities would not be impaired at the same level and would be related to impairment of global cognition and other clinical symptoms of the di

7. Evaluation of 10-minute post-injection 11C-PiB PET and its correlation with 18F-FDG PET in older adults who are cognitively healthy, mildly impaired, or with probable Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: Positron emission tomography (PET) allows in vivo evaluation of molecular targets in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Mild cognitive impairment is an intermediate stage between normal cognition and Alzheimer-type dementia. In vivo fibrillar amyloid-beta can be detected in PET using [11C]-labeled Pittsburgh compound B (11C

8. Decision tree-based classification as a support to diagnosis in the Alzheimer’s disease continuum using cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers: insights from automated analysis
Objective: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers add accuracy to the diagnostic workup of cognitive impairment by illustrating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. However, there are no universally accepted cutoff values for the interpretation of AD biomarkers. The aim of this study is to determine the viability of a decision-tree method to analyse CSF bioma

9. Olfactory Performance among Hospital Residents
Abstract Introduction Smell plays an important role in the maintenance of health and quality of life of the general population. Health workers with olfactory impairment may not be able to help diagnose certain diseases, and subsequently increase the risk of hazardous events and mortality among those affected. ‘Odor learning’ requires repeated experience

10. Postinfectious Olfactory Complaints: A Follow-up Study
Abstract Introduction Acute upper respiratory infection (AURI) is the most common cause of postinfectious olfactory dysfunction (PIOD). Objective We investigated the prevalence of PIOD in a large group of patients reporting persistent smell impairment perception after the AURI resolution. Methods Olfactometry was performed within 1 month after the common

11. Long-term functional outcomes and quality of life after partial glossectomy for T2 squamous cell carcinomas
Abstract Introduction: Partial glossectomy and reconstruction strategy for malignant tongue tumors influences speech and swallowing. Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate long-term functional outcomes after partial glossectomy for pT2 mobile tongue carcinomas with a maximum dimension between 2 and 3 cm. Different reconstruction str

12. Determining attributed factors of hearing handicap in individuals with auditory sensory and neural pathology
Abstract Introduction: There is a modest relationship between speech perception skills and perceived hearing handicap in individuals with hearing loss. In this study, an attempt is made at linking psychoacoustic results and speech perception skills to understand the subjective handicap and quality of life. Objective: To investigate how speech perception in
