The chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus passed to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. Since its description in 1952, CHIKV has caused millions of human infections in Africa, the Indian Ocean islands, Asia, Europe and America (1). In total, since 2013, the epidemic has affected more than 2 million
The gravity of the disease caused by the new coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is predominantly harbored in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), often requiring ventilatory support. However, in some cases it has been observed that the involvement of this entity is not restrict to the respiratory
Deep vein thrombosis is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. It is the most frequent type of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and responsible for approximately 800.000 deaths per year in the European Union and the United States combined. The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a constellation of symptoms including headache, sleep disturbance, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea, vomiting, or anorexia that commonly occurs in travelers ascending to altitudes above 2,500m. AMS incidence varies based on altitude and ascent profile with rates
Pain following urethroplasty with buccal mucosal graft (BMG) harvesting is primarily related to the oral graft harvest site. This pain results in significant increases in narcotic use, patient morbidity, and limits nutritional intake following surgery. During BMG harvesting, lidocaine with
Tremor is defined as rhythmic and oscillating involuntary movements of a body part. Action tremor occurs when a body part is activated, and is clinically most frequently seen in Essential (idiopathic) Tremor (ET), with an overall prevalence of 0.9 %, and of 4.6 % in people over 65 years. But it can
Breast reconstruction (BR) is commonly requested following mastectomy, and recent measures have been taken to ensure patient access is universal. Transferring autologous tissue from the abdomen using microvascular surgical techniques provides a reliable reconstruction method with high levels of
This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual, São Paulo, Brazil, and was registered at clinicaltrials.gov under NCT 02704598. This prospective, randomized, consecutive, double-blind cohort study included patients treated for acute iliofemoral
Our primary outcome is to assess the safety of Dotarem in these patients up to 24 hours after Dotarem injection. The patients will be monitored in the hospital for at least 2 hours following the completion of the MRI exam. Many of these patients will have received sedation for the MRI and would be

While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
Aims and perspectives:
During the last 20 years there has been increasing focus on the morbidity following breast cancer treatment. This has lead to new and less mutilating surgical techniques to replace the traditional operations: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) instead of mastectomy and sentinel
Orthognathic surgery aims to standardize position of the maxilla and the mandible and therefore chewing, breathing, phonation and swallowing functions. In postoperative, several physical and functional consequences are observed in patients: transient edema of the face, maxillo-mandibular blocking
Currently available amino amide local anesthetics (e.g. bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine) do not reliably provide analgesia beyond roughly 8 hours following subcutaneous infiltration. In addition, they can cause systemic toxicities such as seizures, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest, as well
Thirty patients ranging in age from 18 to 60 years, with fibromyalgia (American College of Rheumatology criteria: pain in the four quadrants of the body for at least 3 months and a minimum of 11 out of 18 tender points) were studied. Other manifestations were also recorded: sleep disorders, fatigue,
