RESUMO
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) stands as the preferred treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients manifesting refractory motor symptoms or when medication side effects outweigh the benefits. Though traditionally administered under local anesthesia coupled with sedation (LA + S), recent evidence hints at comparable outcomes under general anesthesia (GA). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to scrutinize post-surgical outcomes in randomized PD patients undergoing DBS surgery while GA versus LA + S. We searched PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases following PRISMA guidelines. We included randomized studies directly comparing DBS surgery under GA versus LA + S, delineating clinical outcomes. Safety outcomes assessed disparities in infection and hemorrhage risk. Mean differences (MD) and Risk Differences (RD) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were utilized to evaluate outcomes, under a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was evaluated through I² statistics, and in studies exhibiting high heterogeneity, exclusion analysis was performed. Evaluated outcomes encompassed motor improvement, complications, behavioral and mood effects gauged by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ39), and daily levodopa equivalent dose (LEDD). A total of 3 studies, encompassing 203 patients, were reviewed. At a 6-month follow-up, in patients undergoing GA during surgery, there was no statistically significant difference compared to the LA + S group in terms of UPDRS III ON (MD 0.19; 95% CI -2.21 to 2.59; p = 0.88; I²=0%), UPDRS III OFF (MD 0.58; 95% CI -4.30 to 5.45; p = 0.21; I²=0%), UPDRS IV ON ( (MD 0.98; 95% CI -0.95 to 2.92; p = 0.32; I²=23%), PDQ39 (MD -1.27; 95% CI -6.31 to 3.77; p = 0.62; I²=0%), and LEDD (MD -1.99; 95% CI -77.88 to 73.90; p = 0.96; I²=32%). There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of infection (RD 0.02; 95% CI -0.02 to 0.05; p = 0.377; I²=0%) or hemorrhage (RD 0.04; 95% CI -0.03 to 0.11; p = 0.215; I²=0%). Our findings suggest, based on short-term follow-up, that GA is not inferior to LA + S in terms of benefits for the selected outcomes. However, further studies are needed to determine whether there are significant long-term clinical differences between these groups.

BACKGROUND: For more than 30 years, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been a therapeutic tool for Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment. DBS can ameliorate several motor and non-motor symptoms and improve the patients' quality of life. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the global scientific production of original and review articles on Parkinson's disease treatment using deep brain stimulation. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive, bibliometric study with a quantitative approach. METHOD: The research protocol was conducted in March 2023 using the Web of Science database. Six hundred eighty-four articles were included in the analysis. Data were imported into RStudio Desktop Software, linked to R Software. The Bibliometrix R package, its Biblioshiny web interface, and VOSviewer software were used for the analysis. RESULTS: The international production began in 1998. Movement Disorders is the journal with the largest number of published articles and the most cited. Michael Okun and Andres Lozano are the authors who produced the most in this area. The University of Florida is the most active affiliated institution in Brazil. The United States has the largest number of collaborations and is mainly published by local researchers. In contrast, countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada have a high number of multi-country publications. The 15 most cited studies predominantly investigated subthalamic nucleus stimulation. CONCLUSION: DBS for Parkinson's disease is a relatively novel therapeutic approach, with studies that have expanded over the last twenty-five years. Most scientific production was quantitative and restricted to specialized journals. The United States, Europe, and China held the most articles.

RESUMO
Objective Intracranial hypertension (IH) 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, IH 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. .
Objetivo A hipertensão intracraniana (HIC) ocorre em até 50% de todos os pacientes com traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE). Por isso, é importante estabelecer um modelo animal adequado para estudar a fisiopatologia da HIC refratária, com a perspectiva de desenvolver tratamentos eficazes. Métodos Os animais foram submetidos a um protocolo padrão de anestesia. A hipertensão intracraniana foi estabelecida através de insuflação de um balão. As variáveis HIC foram medidas com a pressão intracraniana (PIC) do parênquima, oximetria, epidural e doppler transcraniano. Resultados A PIC epidural apresentou elevação mais lenta, comparada com a PIC parenquimal. Houve correlação entre a PIC e a oximetria cerebral. O registro da PIC, oximetria e índice de pulsatilidade foi realizado em todos os animais sem dificuldade. Conclusão O modelo descrito parece ser útil para a compreensão de algumas características fisiopatológicas na HIC aguda. .

OBJETIVO: Analisar a taxa de aproveitamento de pulmões disponibilizados em São Paulo no ano de 2006, bem como caracterizar o perfil dos doadores de pulmão deste período. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo de 497 prontuários de doadores de pulmão, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2006. RESULTADOS: Não houve oferta de doação de pulmões para transplante em 149 (30 por cento) dos prontuários analisados, sendo excluídos do estudo. A idade média dos 348 doadores eleitos para o estudo foi de 37,4 ± 16,1 anos, e 56,9 por cento deles eram do sexo masculino. As principais causas da morte cerebral dos doadores foram: acidente vascular cerebral (40,5 por cento); trauma cranioencefálico (34,2 por cento); e hemorragia subaracnóidea (10,9 por cento). A grande maioria dos doadores recebia drogas vasoativas (90,5 por cento), sendo que 13,5 por cento haviam apresentado parada cárdio-respiratória. Do ponto de vista infeccioso, o leucograma médio foi de 15.008 ± 6.467 células/mm³, 67,8 por cento recebiam antibioticoterapia e 26,1 por cento apresentavam infecção pulmonar. Quase 40 por cento dos doadores apresentavam alterações radiográficas. Apenas 4,9 por cento dos doadores foram aceitos, representando 28 pulmões (taxa de aproveitamento de órgãos de 4 por cento). Os motivos de recusa foram: alteração gasométrica (30,1 por cento); infecção (23,7 por cento); e distância (10,9 por cento). CONCLUSÕES: A taxa de aproveitamento de pulmões em nosso meio é baixa quando comparada às taxas médias de aproveitamento mundial. Além disso, mais de 50 por cento das recusas deveram-se à gasometria arterial inadequada e infecção pulmonar. Aliar melhor cuidado ao potencial doador à menor rigidez nos critérios de seleção poderia aumentar a utilização dos órgãos doados.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the rate at which lungs available for transplantation in the state of São Paulo in 2006 were utilized and to determine the lung donor profile in the same period. METHODS: A retrospective study of 497 clinical charts of lung tissue donors from January to December of 2006. RESULTS: According to the clinical charts, lungs were not offered for transplant in 149 cases (30 percent), which were therefore excluded from the study. Among the 348 lung donors eligible for inclusion in the study, the mean age was 37.4 ± 16.1 years, and 56.9 percent were males. The main causes of brain death among the donors were stroke (in 40.5 percent), skull-brain trauma (in 34.2 percent) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (in 10.9 percent). The great majority of these lung donors (90.5 percent) received vasoactive agents, and 13.5 percent presented cardiopulmonary arrest. The mean donor leukocyte count was 15,008 ± 6,467 cells/mm³, 67.8 percent of the donors received anti-bacterial agents, and 26.1 percent presented lung infection. Nearly 40 percent of the lung donors presented chest X-ray abnormalities. Only 4.9 percent of the lung donors were accepted, representing 28 lungs (allograft utilization rate of 4 percent). The causes for donor exclusion were gas exchange alterations (in 30.1 percent), infection (in 23.7 percent) and distance (in 10.9 percent). CONCLUSIONS: The lung utilization rate in the state of São Paulo is low when compared to mean rates worldwide. In addition, more than half of the donor pool was excluded due to altered gas exchange or pulmonary infection. The combination of better care of the potential donor and more flexible selection criteria could increase allograft utilization.
