1. Distinct patterns of metabolic motor cortex activity for phantom and residual limb pain in people with amputations: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

   NEUROPHYSIOLOGIE CLINIQUE-CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, v.54, n.1, article ID 102939, 8p, 2024

   Background: Phantom pain limb (PLP) has gained more attention due to the large number of people with amputations around the world and growing knowledge of the pain process, although its mechanisms are not completely understood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to understand, in patients with...

2. Characterization of male sexual assault in the state of São Paulo, Brazil: an epidemiological study from 2014 to 2017

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LEGAL MEDICINE, v.138, n.2, p.571-581, 2024

   Sexual violence is a pervasive global issue that affects individuals of all genders. However, the experiences of male survivors have often been marginalized and inadequately represented. Male rape, which encompasses several forms of sexual violence against men, remains a sensitive and under-discu...

3. The cerebellum is causally involved in episodic memory under aging

   GEROSCIENCE, v.45, n.4, Special Issue, p.2267-2287, 2023

   Episodic memory decline is a major signature of both normal and pathological aging. Many neural regions have been implicated in the processes subserving both episodic memory and typical aging decline. Here, we demonstrate that the cerebellum is causally involved episodic memory under aging. We sh...

4. Lower Limb Exoskeleton During Gait and Posture: Objective and Subjective Assessment Procedures With Minimal Instrumentation

   IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL ROBOTICS AND BIONICS, v.5, n.4, p.1025-1036, 2023

   In this work, we propose and implement an enhanced methodology for assessing the impact of wearing a lower limb passive exoskeleton on the gait and posture of the wearer, integrating both objective and subjective assessment techniques. Using only an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a heart rat...

5. Factors associated with pain pressure threshold in both local and remote sites in knee osteoarthritis

   PM&R, v.16, n.2, p.132-140, 2024

   Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition, and its most frequent symptom is pain that often leads to disability. Pain sensitization is a core feature of KOA, and it can be measured through quantitative sensory testing protocols such as pain pressure threshold (PPT). However, ...

6. Data-driven, cross-disciplinary collaboration: lessons learned at the largest academic health center in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic

   FRONTIERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, v.12, article ID 1369129, 15p, 2024

   Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted global research efforts to reduce infection impact, highlighting the potential of cross-disciplinary collaboration to enhance research quality and efficiency.Methods At the FMUSP-HC academic health system, we implemented innovative flow management r...

7. Vocational Rehabilitation and Length of Stay at Work after Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Longitudinal Study in Brazil

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH, v.20, n.3, article ID 2334, p, 2023

   Vocational rehabilitation is an intervention to enhance the return to work and improve quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate sociodemographic and occupational factors associated with the length of stay at work among workers with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs) who ...

8. The concordance study of the portable camera FLIR C5 for detecting asymmetry of skin temperature in patients with stroke sequelae

   THERMOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, v.33, n.1, p.5-12, 2023

   BACKGROUND: Low-cost portable infrared cameras are increasingly used for health assessments, especially for investigating the skin temperature of the whole body. However, some of these devices have not yet been tested for agreement with high-resolution cameras. Therefore, the objective of this st...

9. Seroprevalence of Zika in Brazil stratified by age and geographic distribution

   EPIDEMIOLOGY AND INFECTION, v.151, article ID e197, 7p, 2023

   Congenital Zika is a devastating consequence of maternal Zika virus infections. Estimates of age-dependent seroprevalence profiles are central to our understanding of the force of Zika virus infections. We set out to calculate the age-dependent seroprevalence of Zika virus infections in Brazil. W...

10. <i>OPRM1</i> and<i> BDNF</i> polymorphisms associated with a compensatory neurophysiologic signature in knee osteoarthritis patients

    NEUROPHYSIOLOGIE CLINIQUE-CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, v.53, n.6, article ID 102917, 9p, 2023

    Objective: The present study investigated the relationship between three genetic polymor-phisms of OPRM1 (rs1799971 -A118G and rs1799972 -C17T) and BDNF (rs6265 -C196T) and EEG-measured brain oscillations in Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) patients.Materials and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional ...
