article 3 Citação(ões) na Scopus Gunshot wound to the upper cervical spine leading to instability(2014) PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; AMORIM, Robson Luis; MENENDEZ, Djalma Felipe; BROCK, Roger Schmidt; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira De; TEIXEIRA, Manoel JacobsenGunshot wounds (GSW) to the cervical spine leading to instability are rare. Also, the presence of vital vascular and neurological structures in the surround area lead to death or severe disability in the vast majority of cases. In this brief report, we present a rare case of C1 fracture due to GSW leading to instability of the atlanto-occipital joint in a neurologically intact patient.- Prediction of Early TBI Mortality Using a Machine Learning Approach in a LMIC Population(2020) AMORIM, Robson Luis; OLIVEIRA, Louise Makarem; MALBOUISSON, Luis Marcelo; NAGUMO, Marcia Mitie; SIMOES, Marcela; MIRANDA, Leandro; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; BEER-FURLAN, Andre; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira De; RUBIANO, Andres M.; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; KOLIAS, Angelos G.; PAIVA, Wellingson SilvaBackground: In a time when the incidence of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasing in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), it is important to understand the behavior of predictive variables in an LMIC's population. There are few previous attempts to generate prediction models for TBI outcomes from local data in LMICs. Our study aim is to design and compare a series of predictive models for mortality on a new cohort in TBI patients in Brazil using Machine Learning. Methods: A prospective registry was set in Sao Paulo, Brazil, enrolling all patients with a diagnosis of TBI that require admission to the intensive care unit. We evaluated the following predictors: gender, age, pupil reactivity at admission, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), presence of hypoxia and hypotension, computed tomography findings, trauma severity score, and laboratory results. Results: Overall mortality at 14 days was 22.8%. Models had a high prediction performance, with the best prediction for overall mortality achieved through Naive Bayes (area under the curve = 0.906). The most significant predictors were the GCS at admission and prehospital GCS, age, and pupil reaction. When predicting the length of stay at the intensive care unit, the Conditional Inference Tree model had the best performance (root mean square error = 1.011), with the most important variable across all models being the GCS at scene. Conclusions: Models for early mortality and hospital length of stay using Machine Learning can achieve high performance when based on registry data even in LMICs. These models have the potential to inform treatment decisions and counsel family members.

We have highlighted the unusual diagnosis, proximity of vascular structures, the technique used in the treatment and the good outcome of the injury.
article Endovascular management of epidural hematomas Response(2018) PERES, Carlos Michel Albuquerque; CALDAS, Jose Guilherme Mendes Pereira; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval Gadelha; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira deconferenceObject CT PERFUSION IN TRAUMATIC ACUTE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA: A NEW TOOL TO PREDICT OUTCOME?(2014) AMORIM, Robson Luis; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; GATTAS, Gabriel; MAYNART, Arthur; PETITO, Carlo Emanuel; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson- Improved Hemodynamic Parameters in Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction After Decompressive Craniectomy(2014) AMORIM, Robson Luis; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; GATTAS, Gabriel S.; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; MENEZES, Marcos; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonBackground and Purpose Decompressive craniectomy (DC) reduces mortality and improves functional outcome in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction. However, little is known regarding the impact of DC on cerebral hemodynamics. Therefore, our goal was to study the hemodynamic changes that may occur in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction after DC and to assess their relationship with outcomes. Methods Twenty-seven patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction who were treated with DC were studied. The perfusion CT hemodynamic parameters, mean transit time, cerebral blood flow, and cerebral blood volume were evaluated preoperatively and within the first 24 hours after DC. Results There was a global trend toward improved cerebral hemodynamics after DC. Preoperative and postoperative absolute mean transit times were associated with mortality at 6 months, and the ratio of post- and preoperative cerebral blood flow was significantly higher in patients with favorable outcomes than those with unfavorable outcomes. Patients who underwent surgery 48 hours after stroke, those with midline brain shift >10 mm, and those who were >55 years showed no significant improvement in any perfusion CT parameters. Conclusions DC improves cerebral hemodynamics in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction, and the level of improvement is related to outcome. However, some patients did not seem to experience any additional hemodynamic benefit, suggesting that perfusion CT may play a role as a prognostic tool in patients undergoing DC after ischemic stroke.
- 3D Preoperative Planning in the ER with OsiriX (R): When There is No Time for Neuronavigation(2013) MANDEL, Mauricio; AMORIM, Robson; PAIVA, Wellingson; PRUDENTE, Marcelo; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira deThe evaluation of patients in the emergency room department (ER) through more accurate imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized their assistance in the early 80s. However, despite technical improvements seen during the last decade, surgical planning in the ER has not followed the development of image acquisition methods. The authors present their experience with DICOM image processing as a navigation method in the ER. The authors present 18 patients treated in the Emergency Department of the Hospital das Clinicas of the University of Sao Paulo. All patients were submitted to volumetric CT. We present patients with epidural hematomas, acute/subacute subdural hematomas and contusional hematomas. Using a specific program to analyze images in DICOM format (OsiriX (R)), the authors performed the appropriate surgical planning. The use of 3D surgical planning made it possible to perform procedures more accurately and less invasively, enabling better postoperative outcomes. All sorts of neurosurgical emergency pathologies can be treated appropriately with no waste of time. The three-dimensional processing of images in the preoperative evaluation is easy and possible even within the emergency care. It should be used as a tool to reduce the surgical trauma and it may dispense methods of navigation in many cases.
- Experimental rnodel of intracranial hypertension with continuous multiparametric monitoring in swine(2013) ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; SOARES, Matheus Schmidt; PATRIOTA, Gustavo Cartaxo; BELON, Alessandro Rodrigo; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; OLIVEIRA, Marcelo de Lima; NASCIMENTO, Clarissa Nobrega; NOLETO, Gustavo Sousa; ALVES JUNIOR, Aderaldo Costa; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval Gadelha; OTOCH, Jose Pinhata; TEIXEIRA, Manoel JacobsenObjective: Intracranial hypertension (IN) develops in approximately 50% of all patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Therefore, it is very important to identify a suitable animal model to study and understand the pathophysiology of refractory IH to develop effective treatments. Methods: We describe a new experimental porcine model designed to simulate expansive brain hematoma causing IH. Under anesthesia, was simulated with a balloon insufflation. The IH variables were measured with intracranial pressure (ICP) parenchymal monitoring, epidural, cerebral oximetry, and transcranial Doppler (TCD). Results: None of the animals died during the experiment. The ICP epidural showed a slower rise compared with parenchymal ICP. We found a correlation between ICP and cerebral oximetry. Conclusion: The model described here seems useful to understand some of the pathophysiological characteristics of acute IH.
- Traumatic Lumbosacral Spondyloptosis in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report and Literature Review(2018) YAMAKI, Vitor Nagai; MORAIS, Barbara Albuquerque; BROCK, Roger Schmidt; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; TEIXEIRA, Manoel JacobsenA 4-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency department after having been buried beneath a wall. A computed tomography scan revealed anterior grade V L5-S1 spondylolisthesis, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a traumatic rupture of the fibrous annulus of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc and lesion of the anterior longitudinal and yellow ligaments. The patient underwent anterior and posterior fixation. Four months later she was able to walk independently, despite a persistent left foot drop. Additionally, we conducted a literature review on lumbosacral spondyloptosis in the pediatric population published between 1990 and 2017. We found 16 cases, 86.6% of which were male, with a mean patient age of 16 +/- 5.05 years. Most patients underwent spine instrumentation. Based on the data reviewed, the neurological status at admission might be a valid predictor of outcome. Pedicle screws are a safe and reliable procedure for stable fixation of the spine in these cases. The removal of screws is discouraged. (c) 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Estimation of intracranial pressure by ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath in an animal model of intracranial hypertension(2021) JENG, Brasil Chian Ping; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; BRASIL, Sergio; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; BELON, Alessandro Rodrigo; ROBERTIS, Maira; DE-LIMA-OLIVEIRA, Marcelo; RUBIANO, Andres Mariano; GODOY, Daniel Agustin; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; PAIVA, Wellingson SilvaBackground: Ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has been used as a non-invasive and cost-effective bedside alternative to invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. However, ONSD time-lapse behavior in intracranial hypertension (ICH) and its relief by means of either saline infusion or surgery are still unknown. The objective of this study was to correlate intracranial pressure (ICP) and ultrasonography of the optic nerve sheath (ONS) in an experimental animal model of ICH and deter-mine the interval needed for ONSD to return to baseline levels. Methods: An experimental study was conducted on 30 pigs. ONSD was evaluated by ultrasound at differ-ent ICPs generated by intracranial balloon inflation, saline infusion, and balloon deflation, and measured using an intraventricular catheter. Results: All variables obtained by ONS ultrasonography such as left, right, and average ONSD (AON) were statistically significant to estimate the ICP value. ONSD changed immediately after balloon inflation and returned to baseline after an average delay of 30 min after balloon deflation (p = 0.016). No statistical sig-nificance was observed in the ICP and ONSD values with hypertonic saline infusion. In this swine model, ICP and ONSD showed linear correlation and ICP could be estimated using the formula:-80.5 + 238.2 x AON. Conclusion: In the present study, ultrasound to measure ONSD showed a linear correlation with ICP, although a short delay in returning to baseline levels was observed in the case of sudden ICH relief.
