Abstract

Background: Stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability. It leaves sequels in the capacity for attention, language, memory, spatial, behavioral vision, and in all other cognitive domains. Therefore, it is essential to optimize neuropsychological rehabilitation in patients with stroke. The earlier the interventions, the greater the chances of adapting and minimizing the acquired sequelae. Objectives: We aim to map and review publications on neuropsychological rehabilitation in stroke patients. We also seek to identify the sequelae described in the literature in this regard, as well as the types of interventions made. Methods: This is a systematic review of the literature, carried out using the PubMed and Capes platforms. We use the descriptors “stroke” and “neuropsychology”. The filters were: descriptors in the title and / or summary in the last 5 years (PubMed) and 1 in the last year (Capes). Results: We found 28 articles of which 10 were disregarded, as they did not fit the established criteria. Conclusions: There was an absence of representativeness outside the English language, which undermines the global and local understanding of the topic. In addition, there is a need to adapt the instruments used in neuropsychological rehabilitation considering the needs of stroke victims, encompassing the various existing factors, in order to promote the patient’s better quality of life. Finally, it must be taken into account that the sequelae must be worked on also thinking about their neural associations and other domains.

Highlights

  • Capsaicin is able to induce mast cell degranulation, an event probably related to the pathophysiology of a migraine attack

  • The present review study aimed to address the mechanisms of action of capsaicin and other chemical inducers in mast cell degranulation and an interaction of nerves and events that happen in the dura mater with the activation of mast cells

  • Conclusion: the analyzed data indicate that the polymorphisms contributed to the susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease (PD), further studies related to the polymorphisms and their relationship to PD are still needed for more ethnic groups, and early diagnosis is possible

Summary

Introduction

Capsaicin is able to induce mast cell degranulation, an event probably related to the pathophysiology of a migraine attack. Methods: A literature review and an observational, descriptive and transversal data collect on treatment for acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis, available at DATASUS from January 2008 to December 2020, and articles available at Scielo and PubMed. Results: There were 7,917 hospitalizations, representing a total expenditure of R$ 9,392,552.04, 2009 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations (809) and 2017 with the highest amount spent during the period (R$ 967,284.65). Methods: A literature review and an observational, descriptive and transversal data collect on surgical treatment was carried out, available from January 2008 to December 2020 and articles available in Scielo, Lilacs and PubMed. Results: There were 15,148 hospitalizations for surgical procedures for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma, representing a total expenditure of R$ 45,365,258.21, with 2018 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations (1,418) and with the highest amount spent during the period (R$ 4,570,334.28). Conclusions: The “Coca-Cola Bottle sign” is a classic sign of Graves’ disease, some signs, such as, unilateral and single orbital musculature involvement, may be suggestive of involvement by other etiologies, suggesting the benefit of an early expanded investigation
