Luminar da escolástica, nos deixou grandes obras que muito influenciaram&amp;nbsp;o pensamento medieval e a formação de muitos sábios ao longo dos tempos. Veremos, em obras várias, que agora se abrem ao meu compreender, pela possibilidade de lê-los em língua latina, a grande influência tida por este homem, que independente de nossas crenças religiosas, merece nossa saudação.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Um de seus lindos textos é uma oração para antes dos estudos, que abaixo se encontra, e que deixo em latim para que não perca a beleza de sua construção original:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Creator ineffabilis, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;qui de thesauris sapientiae tuae &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;tres Angelorum hierarchias designasti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;et eas super caelum empyreum miro ordine collocasti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;atque universi partes elegantissime distribuisti: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Tu, inquam, qui verus fons luminis et sapientiae diceris ac supereminens principium, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;infundere digneris super intellectus mei tenebras tuae radium claritatis, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;duplices, in quibus natus sum, a me removens tenebras, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;peccatum scilicet et ignorantiam. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Tu, qui linguas infantium facis disertas, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;linguam meam erudias atque in labiis meis gratiam tuae benedictionis infundas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Da mihi intelligendi acumen, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;retinendi capacitatem, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;addiscendi modum et facilitatem, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;interpretandi subtilitatem, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;loquendi gratiam copiosam. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingressum instruas, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;progressum dirigas, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;egressum compleas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Tu, qui es verus Deus et homo, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Amen.&lt;/span&gt;

font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Os tratamentos das hérnias de disco deram um novo passo com o desenvolvimento das novas técnicas intervencionistas e mini-invasivas, evitando a necessidade de longos e inúteis tratamentos com fisioterapias muitas vezes causadores de agravamento de casos simples e evitando em uma grande parte o recurso às cirurgias convencionais, que mesmo que pudessem trazer um alívio certo, não estavam isentas de riscos de diversas ordens.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Uma das técnicas disponíveis em nosso serviço especializado é a NEUROPORAÇÃO, que tem aliviado de forma rápida as dores e disfunções nos pacientes com hérnias de disco e que em um estudo feito em nossos pacientes tem, incrivelmente, promovido o desaparecimento das hérnias de disco em pouco tempo, facilitando a sua reabsorção biológica, através de uma modulação imune e controle de componentes&amp;nbsp;de inflamação neurogênica local, causados&amp;nbsp;pela estimulação antidrômica (reflexo axonal) responsável pela produção local de substância&amp;nbsp;P, degranulação mastocitária,&amp;nbsp;produção de histamina, etc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';

margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Ter uma hérnia de disco costuma ser sinônimo de fortes dores e de grande sofrimento. Vários pacientes fazem meses de fisioterapias inúteis, usam grande quantidade de remédios perigosos e são submetidos a cirurgias complicadas, mas não conseguem uma resposta ideal. Na prática, a hérnia de disco, mesmo sendo comum, habitualmente não é tratada de forma rápida, eficaz e segura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;O que se sabe de novo sobre este problema?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Nos últimos anos, descobriu-se que a principal causa das dores na hérnia de disco não é a compressão produzida sobre os nervos, mas a presença de uma reação imunológica e inflamatória regional. Isto mudou radicalmente a visão que a medicina tinha da hérnia de disco. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Qual a importância desta nova visão?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Estamos chegando ao fim da era das grandes cirurgias que visavam retirar a hérnia, e ao fim de métodos arcaicos de tratamentos que manipulavam, esticavam e tracionavam as pessoas em aparelhagens medievais. Afinal, sabemos agora que o problema é primordialmente imuno-químico e a solução, também, deve ser imuno-química!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Quais as novidades nos tratamentos para as hérnias de disco e para dores da coluna?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Houve um grande avanço no campo da farmacologia, onde descobrimos medicamentos mais eficazes para os tratamentos das inflamações e das dores da coluna. Além disso, houve um grande desenvolvimento das tecnologias de imagem de precisão, o que permitiu o surgimento de técnicas de imagens intervencionistas, onde são aplicadas substâncias diretamente no foco do problema, com rápida resolução da sintomatologia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;O que é Neuroporação?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;É uma técnica intervencionista especialmente aplicável nas hérnias de disco e dores da coluna. A &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neuroporação&lt;/span&gt; é uma forma de aumentar a permeabilidade da membrana celular de um nervo a medicamentos e a líquidos fisiológicos, com o objetivo de controlar diretamente a inflamação e a dor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;Em que situações a Neuroporação é indicada? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;A &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neuroporação&lt;/span&gt; é realizada quando se determina, através de um protocolo médico especialmente desenvolvido, a localização precisa de uma inflamação em nervos. Isto ocorre na maioria das dores crônicas lombares, torácicas e cervicais, nas espondilolisteses, nas escolioses, nas fraturas osteoporóticas, nas degenerações da coluna e nas hérnias de disco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;Na prática, como é feita a Neuroporação?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neuroporação&lt;/span&gt; é realizada em uma única sessão, onde, guiado por imagens computadorizadas de tomografia ou radioscopia, posiciona-se, com precisão milimétrica, uma fina agulha especial (quase tão fina como uma de acupuntura) sobre o nervo-alvo, aplicando um campo magnético ou um indutor químico, e introduzindo uma concentração ideal de medicamentos especialmente usados para controle inflamatório.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Quais as vantagens da Neuroporação?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;É um procedimento médico realizado em um único tempo que alivia a dor de forma rápida e promove um controle mantido. Outra vantagem é que, nos casos das hérnias de disco, evita cirurgias em mais de 95% das vezes, além de ser um método sem cortes, feito com leve sedação ou anestesia local e em regime ambulatorial ou de hospital-dia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;Qual a sua experiência com este método?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: PT-BR;"&gt;Uso este método diariamente e já tenho mais de 3500 casos tratados com um sucesso.

É interessante saber que um percentual muito grande de pessoas tem hérnias de disco sem qualquer dor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A cirurgia é sempre a melhor solução para uma hérnia de disco?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Não, nem sempre a cirurgia é a melhor solução para uma hérnia de disco, mas existem indicações precisas que não podem ser desconhecidas e negligenciadas. Daí a necessidade de uma correta avaliação por um médico especialista em coluna, antes do início de qualquer tratamento. Somente seu médico será capaz de lhe passar esta segurança.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Em que situações se indica uma cirurgia em uma hérnia de disco?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Quando o paciente apresenta comprometimento neurológico conhecido como síndrome da cauda eqüina (onde existe uma anestesia na região perineal, acompanhada de falta de controle dos músculos anais e do controle urinário) ou quando não houver a resolução das dores ou da falta de força, apesar de um tratamento médico corretamente feito por um tempo suficiente (cerca de três meses).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Qual o objetivo e qual a melhor cirurgia para a hérnia de disco? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O objetivo de qualquer cirurgia de hérnia de disco é retirar fragmentos do disco que estejam causando irritação direta sobre uma raiz nervosa, mesmo que exista ou não exista compressão, pois hoje sabemos que a compressão não é o fator principal em questão. Em algumas situações, a cirurgia para a hérnia de disco já pode ser feita por técnicas mini-invasivas, onde usamos incisões de poucos milímetros para a realização da cirurgia, com uma melhor recuperação pós-operatória, mas ainda há indicações para as cirurgias com incisões clássicas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Quais as novidades nos tratamentos para as hérnias de disco e para dores da coluna?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Nos últimos anos, descobriu-se que a principal causa das dores na hérnia de disco não é a compressão produzida sobre os nervos, mas a presença de uma reação imunológica e inflamatória regional. Isto mudou radicalmente a visão que a medicina tinha da hérnia de disco. Houve, ainda, um grande avanço no campo da farmacologia, onde descobrimos medicamentos mais eficazes para os tratamentos das inflamações e dores da coluna. Além disso, houve um grande desenvolvimento das tecnologias de imagem de precisão, o que permitiu o surgimento de técnicas intervencionistas, onde são aplicadas substâncias diretamente no foco inflamatório do problema, com rápida resolução da sintomatologia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Qual a importância desta nova visão?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Estamos chegando ao fim da era das grandes cirurgias que visavam retirar a hérnia, e ao fim de métodos arcaicos de tratamentos, como osteopatia e quiropraxia, que manipulavam, esticavam e tracionavam as pessoas em aparelhagens medievais de fisioterapias, que se baseavam em um princípio errado e simplório, e que em nada ajudavam no tratamento real destes pacientes. Afinal, sabemos que o problema é primordialmente químico e a solução, também, deve ser química! Daí a importância dos métodos de Neuroporação!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;O que é Neuroporação?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;É uma técnica intervencionista especialmente aplicável nas hérnias de disco e dores da coluna. A Neuroporação é uma forma de aumentar a permeabilidade da membrana celular de um nervo a medicamentos e a líquidos fisiológicos, com o objetivo de controlar diretamente a inflamação e a dor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Em que situações a Neuroporação é indicada? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Neuroporação é realizada quando se determina, através de um protocolo médico especialmente desenvolvido, a localização precisa de uma inflamação em nervos. Isto ocorre na maioria das dores crônicas lombares, torácicas e cervicais, nas espondilolisteses, nas escolioses, nas fraturas osteoporóticas, nas degenerações da coluna e nas hérnias de disco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Na prática, como é feita a Neuroporação?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A Neuroporação é realizada em uma única sessão, onde, guiado por imagens computadorizadas de tomografia ou radioscopia, posiciona-se, com precisão milimétrica, uma fina agulha especial (quase tão fina como uma de acupuntura) sobre o nervo-alvo, aplicando um campo magnético ou um indutor químico, e introduzindo uma concentração ideal de medicamentos especialmente usados para controle inflamatório.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Quais as vantagens da Neuroporação?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;É um procedimento médico realizado em um único tempo que alivia a dor de forma rápida e promove um controle mantido. Outra vantagem é que, nos casos das hérnias de disco, evita cirurgias em mais de 95% das vezes, além de ser um método sem cortes, feito com leve sedação ou anestesia local e em regime ambulatorial ou de hospital-dia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Qual a sua experiência com este método?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Uso este método diariamente e já tenho mais de 3500 casos tratados com um sucesso. Nossos resultados positivos chegam a mais de 90%, o que representa um grande avanço comparado às técnicas comumente usadas, cujos sucessos chegam a não mais que 75% dos casos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Qual a sua impressão final sobre este método?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Creio que este método represente um grande avanço no tratamento das hérnias de disco, dores e degenerações da coluna.

"Nossos tratamentos devem se voltar à patologia e a sua lógica anatomofisiopatológica." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi bastante interessante a abordagem dos novos consensos no tratamento das dores agudas e crônicas da coluna e da eficácia e ineficácia de várias terapias, o que mostrou que as condutas do Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral estão de acordo com os melhores consensos internacionais. Novas documentações de avaliação de pacientes foram sugeridas e já estão disponíveis em nosso serviço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na qualidade de coordenador de serviço multidisciplinar, o Dr Henrique da Mota esteve no ciclo de palestras sobre Hipnose Médica, que já é realizada em nosso serviço como resultados satisfatórios há cerca de 3 anos, pelo Dr Leon Lopes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911664748827616273-4414961762941704257?l=centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/feeds/4414961762941704257/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/11/congresso-da-sociedade-francesa-de-dor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/4414961762941704257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/4414961762941704257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/11/congresso-da-sociedade-francesa-de-dor.html' title='CONGRESSO DA SOCIEDADE FRANCESA DE DOR: CENTRO MÉDICO DA COLUNA ESTEVE PRESENTE'/><author><name>Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05917493730631570960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TB0BHL94rQI/AAAAAAAAAAo/fxn1V4wVaFw/S220/Logo_bigger%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eYE_XdLknWo/Tsq-n76ZAYI/AAAAAAAAAvg/RzgjKTaheNM/s72-c/2011-11-18_11.02.54.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911664748827616273.post-5256407074255284418</id><published>2011-11-06T12:56:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-06T12:56:16.656-03:00</updated><title type='text'>NEUROPORAÇÃO: A HISTÓRIA DO TRATAMENTO INTELIGENTE DAS DORES E INFLAMAÇÕES NA COLUNA</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q_TV3dTa7qc/TFnP12QFooI/AAAAAAAAADg/68cmtIATLAE/s1600/Cominco1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="209" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q_TV3dTa7qc/TFnP12QFooI/AAAAAAAAADg/68cmtIATLAE/s320/Cominco1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Dr Henrique da Mota em Congresso de Cirurgias &lt;br /&gt;Mini-invasivas&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;A Neuroporação não é uma invenção, mas é um método totalmente novo que faz uma sistematização original de técnicas já existentes, através de uma nova organização de procedimentos clássicos. Cada uma das técnicas que, em conjunto, irão constituir o método da Neuroporação já foi testada e aprovada pelas evidências científicas, em sua segurança e/ou eficácia. Seria como uma nova música, que mesmo que totalmente original, usa apenas as notas musicais conhecidas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;A história da Neuroporação, que foi um nome criado por mim para batizar este conceito, começou após várias publicações de vários trabalhos, como aqueles de grupos japoneses que mostraram que disfunções inflamatórias nos gânglios das raízes dorsais das segundas raízes lombares estavam relacionadas à manutenção das dores lombares, por um componente visceral e não somático. Desta forma, passei a sempre fazer procedimentos de bloqueio sobre esta zona, que representa a convergência anatômica do sistema simpático lombar para as estruturas anatômicas da coluna. A realização desta técnica nos dotou da capacidade de resolver uma parte importante das dores lombares antes intratáveis pelos métodos vigentes. Após estes trabalhos, outros trabalhos mostraram que medicamentos específicos produziam efeitos mais eficazes que a simples injeção de corticóides. Passamos, então, desde 2001, ainda na França, a aplicar este conceitos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Outros trabalhos mostraram a microanatomia da inervação discal e facetária, o que levou ao bloqueio seletivo, e guiado por sistemas de radiologia intervencionistas de precisão, das inervações facetárias e dos nervos sino-vertebrais, como forma de ação direta sobre a dores e inflamações regionais, com o consequente controle imediato e total das inflamações e das dores na maioria dos pacientes.

Para ter informações mais interessantes sobre pesquisas de definição biomecânica de morfotipos, pode-se tentar acessar o Projeto SinPatCo, do Departamento de Engenharia de TeleInformática da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Lá, há alguns anos, iniciei minha participação em um estudo financiado pelo CNPq, que já produziu teses de mestrado e doutorado, e que manteve troca de experiência com universidade estrangeiras, para que meus casos clínicos fossem estudados. Neste estudos, nós usamos uma tecnologia chamada de redes neurais artificiais, que é uma ferramenta estatística de análise de dados não lineares. É uma das vertentes de nosso estudo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Uma outra vertente de minha atuação foi o desenvolvimento de uma nova teoria biodinâmica da coluna, e quanto a isso pode-se encontrar na internet palestras minhas sobre isto nos principais congressos da especialidade. Trata-se da Teoria de Integração Tensional, que deu uma nova visão e uma nova previsibilidade do sucesso e insucesso de tratamentos, introduzindo um novo paradigma para os futuros desenvolvimentos de nossa especialidade.&amp;nbsp;Com estas ideias, venho causando um impacto sobre as indicações cirúrgicas dos colegas de minha especialidade e fazendo avançar nosso conhecimento. Infelizmente, para grande parte daqueles que hoje lucram com a grande indústria que gravita no entorno dos atos médicos, com nossa teoria e suas constatações prática decorrentes, fizemos críticas que se mostraram verdadeiras, quando fizemos a crítica de métodos cirúrgicos como a nucleoplastia e as próteses discais, e nas termocoagulações das inervações lombares e cervicais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Além da crítica sobre os atos médicos sem sentido, partimos no combate à prática de técnicas de fisioterapia que fazem grande mal aos problemas da coluna. Apenas sustentam interesses políticos e mercantis importantes, mas prestam um grande desserviço à sociedade. É uma união de técnicas ou deliberadamente desonestas, ou impregnadas de delírios ou charlatanismos advindos da ignorância de princípios de realidade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Novos avanços também foram feitos na compreensão dos mecanismos bioquímicos, imunológicos e genéticos das dores agudas e crônicas, e hoje temos uma quantidade de medicamentos que não tínhamos há poucos anos no Brasil. Temos também a nova noção da participação das células gliais na manutenção das dores. Dessa forma, vemos claramente que o problema da dores da coluna envolve muitos mecanismos bioquímicos, biomecânicos e morfológicos. É exatamente este conhecimento que tem faltado aos praticantes dos métodos que critico. São estes pensamentos que se integram na filosofia da Neuroporação.&amp;nbsp;É a associação de tudo isso que vai constituindo o corpo do que chamei de neuroporação.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white;

O quadro está muitas vezes relacionado com a degeneração dos discos intervertebrais, que se desenvolve com o envelhecimento e fatores ambientais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Um estudo canadense publicado recentemente tentar elucidar o mecanismo envolvido no desenvolvimento da dor crônica nas costas, bem como sua relação com a degeneração dos discos intervertebrais e o envelhecimento. Os pesquisadores confirmam a hipótese da degeneração dos discos com o envelhecimento e associam o fato a uma metilação que ocorre no gene que silencia o promotor de proteínas da matriz extracelular, responsáveis por manter a integridade tecidual e diminuir o atrito nos discos intervertebrais e articulações.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Este gene, determinado SPARC (&lt;i&gt;Secreted Protein, Acidic, Rich in Cysteine&lt;/i&gt;) mostrou envolvimento direto com a degeneração dos discos intervertebrais com o uso de animais nocautes, onde animais jovens (quatro meses) submetidos a um teste de gravidade apresentavam comportamento sugestivo de dor nas costas e também radiografias revelavam desgastes nos discos intervertebrais, compatíveis ao de animais adultos (quinze meses).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;O estudo comprova a relação existente entre a metilação do promotor SPARC e consequente silenciamento do gene e a degeneração dos discos intervertebrais, frequentemente presente no quadro de pacientes com dor crônica nas costas. Modificações epigenéticas no DNA, que são as alterações químicas no DNA, como a metilação, se mostram importantes para a investigação do mecanismo e até mesmo da terapêutica para o alívio da dor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;b style="text-align: -webkit-center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Autora:Débora Crystina Ramos Assis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Referência:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tajerian M, Alvarado S, Millecamps M, Dashwood T, Anderson KM, Haglund L, Ouellet J, Szyf M, Stone LS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;DNA methylation of SPARC and chronic low back pain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Mol Pain. 2011 7:65&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911664748827616273-6893059411172216625?l=centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/feeds/6893059411172216625/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/alteracoes-do-dna-explicam-degeneracao.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/6893059411172216625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/6893059411172216625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/alteracoes-do-dna-explicam-degeneracao.html' title='ALTERAÇÕES DO DNA EXPLICAM DEGENERAÇÃO DISCAL: CENTRO MÉDICO DA COLUNA VERTEBRAL ESTÁ ATENTO AOS AVANÇOS'/><author><name>Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05917493730631570960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TB0BHL94rQI/AAAAAAAAAAo/fxn1V4wVaFw/S220/Logo_bigger%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911664748827616273.post-3787092801645095829</id><published>2011-10-30T17:53:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-10-30T18:01:07.733-03:00</updated><title type='text'>HÉRNIAS DE DISCO E DORES NA COLUNA: A CONDUTA INTELIGENTE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XWIWG9Z62E8/TJTg0ehjWiI/AAAAAAAAAXw/xlq5eQdchQk/s1600/Henri.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="278" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XWIWG9Z62E8/TJTg0ehjWiI/AAAAAAAAAXw/xlq5eQdchQk/s320/Henri.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;No Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral tratamos cerca de 1200 casos de hérnias de disco ao ano e, com esta experiência, desenvolvemos um protocolo altamente eficaz de conduta médica, com mais de 95% de casos de sucesso, o que representa um índice bastante superior aos índices gerais de outros serviços de referência no Brasil e em centros estrangeiros o que, sem falsa modéstia, coloca nosso programa de tratamento como um dos mais eficazes no mundo para este problema, e o que tem trazido vários pacientes de outros estados e de outros países em busca de soluções eficazes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A filosofia de nosso trabalho baseia-se na plena compreensão da história natural e dos mecanismos anatomofisiopatológicos envolvidos.

Desta forma, somos bastante cuidadosos com relação aos modismos terapêuticos, e procuramos avançar lentamente e seguramente, para o real benefício de nossos pacientes, que, infelizmente, já nos chegam após um longo descaminho por tratamentos inapropriados: com medicamentos sem sentido ou em subdoses, esquemas de fisioterapia totalmente sem sentido com dezenas de sessões inúteis e até prejudiciais, diagnósticos sem uma correta avaliação clínica, invencionices e modismos das mais diversas ordens.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Resgatar os pacientes de toda uma cascata de erros é um passo demorado, mas que deve ser feito em nossa avaliação inicial.

O disco intervertebral, em sua anatomia, possui um núcleo gelatinoso que é&amp;nbsp;cercado por várias camadas concêntricas de uma material fibroso que deslizam entre si, no estado de correta hidratação. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;No surgimento da desidratação, as sucessivas camadas do disco perdem a&amp;nbsp;capacidade de deslizamento e sofrem rupturas, com consequente inflamação.

É, senhores, tem muita gente presa a um passado distante, sem perceber. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos congressos de cirurgia, percebo que muitos dos colegas ainda apresentam resquícios históricos do tempo que os cirurgiões não eram médicos, eram apenas burros barbeiros, que aproveitavam sua proximidade com instrumentos cortantes para fazerem drenagem de abscessos, tumores, e coisas "sujas" para a elite médica, letrada, culta, poliglota, latinizada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os tempos mudaram, após a revolução francesa, com&amp;nbsp;a nova organização das estruturas hospitalares e de ensino, que passaram a sistematizar um novo saber e uma nova ação médica, os cirurgiões foram domados e enquadrados na prática médica letrada e inteligente. Passaram de&amp;nbsp;cirurgões-barbeiros para médicos-cirurgiões. Mas sempre há alguns retardatários.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vejo, a cada dia,&amp;nbsp;o exagero de intervenções que me parecem indicadas e feitas por alienígenas&amp;nbsp;ou seres de um outro temp&amp;nbsp;, mas o conhecimento histórico nos faz entender porque.

revisto e muitos avanços foram feitos no campo da bioquímica e farmacologia da dor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em fases avançadas do processo de inflamação relacionadas à coluna, temos quadros de inflamação neural, que podem ser mais superficiais ou mais profundos, com lesões estruturais.&amp;nbsp;Com relação a este importante componente, vimos que a inflamação atinge não apenas a função e a estrutura do nervo. Outras células, que antes eram consideradas apenas células de sustentação do parênquina nervoso, são profundamente atingidas e se tornam disfuncionais: as células gliais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;As células gliais disfuncionais mantém um processo patológico de dor que deve ser tratado paralelamente ao tratamento dos nervos alterados.

Como parte do processo de aperfeiçoamento constante, o Dr Henrique da Mota, estará algumas semanas em Bordeaux, França, no ano 2012 para transferência de tecnologia e aquisição de instrumentais especializados para cirurgias mini-invasivas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral sempre procurou métodos eficazes e menos agressivos para o tratamento de seus pacientes, e para isto desenvolveu o protocolo de Neuroporação, que tem resolvido uma parte considerável das dores nas anormalidades degenerativas da coluna vertebral, mas é importante que possamos avançar naqueles casos onde o sucesso da Neuroporação é limitado, o que tem ocorrido entre 5% a 10% de nossos pacientes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estivemos recentemente na Alemanha para acompanhar novas tecnologias no combate às dores da coluna que já estão disponíveis em nosso serviço. Nosso compromisso de evolução é constante, e estaremos no próximo mês na cidade de Paris para acompanhar reunião da Sociedade Francesa de Estudo da Dor e para visitas a serviços de referência.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confirmamos, também, nossa presença no Curso Superior de Cirurgia da Coluna na Universidade de Bordeaux, o maior curso de formação nas novas tecnologias cirúrgicas com extensa programação prática com cadáveres e ampla prática cirúrgica no serviço da Clínica Saint Martin. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911664748827616273-7683960180926342249?l=centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/feeds/7683960180926342249/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/centro-medico-da-coluna-vertebral.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/7683960180926342249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/7683960180926342249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/centro-medico-da-coluna-vertebral.html' title='CENTRO MÉDICO DA COLUNA VERTEBRAL ORGANIZA SERVIÇO DE CIRURGIA MINI-INVASIVA E CONFIRMA PRESENÇA EM EVENTO NA CIDADE DE BORDEAUX'/><author><name>Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05917493730631570960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TB0BHL94rQI/AAAAAAAAAAo/fxn1V4wVaFw/S220/Logo_bigger%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-46sVt7sLIps/TptQVrrVNoI/AAAAAAAAAtk/-PtDyLc6ODI/s72-c/icv33.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911664748827616273.post-7584239438895812904</id><published>2011-10-16T18:13:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T08:58:11.689-03:00</updated><title type='text'>DOENÇA DEGENERATIVA DE MULTIPLOS DISCOS LOMBARES: NEUROPORAÇÃO É UMA TERAPIA EFICAZ NO ALÍVIO RÁPIDO DE SINTOMAS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px;

Em geral, a sintomatologia dos pacientes se expressa como dores matinais, logo após o despertar, que melhoram com o passar de alguns minutos, que persistem durante o dia e que podem piorar ao&amp;nbsp;final do dia, reiniciando um novo ciclo a cada dia. Ocorrem, ainda, crise agudas de fortes dores ou travamentos, no momento em que os componentes dos anéis fibrosos dos discos são afetados. É um quadro que pode se tornar invalidante para o paciente, que chega em algumas situações a permanecer sem qualquer possibilidade de movimento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Na figura 1, vemos a medição de um baixo ângulo de incidência (cerca de 40 graus), que indica risco de sobrecarga sobre os últimos discos vertebrais, levando a alterações de desidratação, que podem ser vistas na figura 2, que mostra uma RMN da coluna lombar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Na figura 2, vemos a existência de degenerações importantes. Entre os tratamentos usualmente aplicados, vemos que as técnicas de fisioterapia são ineficazes no controle das crise e até podem facilitar a ocorrência delas.&amp;nbsp;A realização de cirurgias, mesmo que eficazes, por outro lado, devem ser&amp;nbsp;extensas, em vários níveis lombares, o que pode colocar problemas mecânicos futuros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;

Nestes casos, em que não se indica a cirurgia, temos utilizado, com&amp;nbsp;crescente frequência, a técnica da &lt;a href="http://www.centromedicodacoluna.com.br/banners/neuroporacao"&gt;NEUROPORAÇÃO&lt;/a&gt;, com resultados efetivos, reprodutíveis e seguros.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 620px;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TNfwEFFShKI/AAAAAAAAAeg/plVb28UcDCM/s1600/Salete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; color: #2288bb; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" px="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TNfwEFFShKI/AAAAAAAAAeg/plVb28UcDCM/s400/Salete.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-width: initial; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; position: relative;" width="306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Na figura ao lado, vemos um quadro degenerativo avançado em uma paciente&amp;nbsp;de 73 anos,&amp;nbsp;com intensa lombalgia, que&amp;nbsp;já havia sido operada havia dois anos de uma hérnia de disco L4/L5, que na época lhe trazia forte dor ciática. Obteve uma alívio sintomático importante da ciática, mas passou a sentir lombalgias, antes não existentes. As lombalgias evoluíram para um quadro invalidante de uma dor lombar sem irradiação para membros inferiores. Com dois anos de duração, as dores não respondiam ao uso de medicamentos antiinflamatórios&amp;nbsp;e até&amp;nbsp;pioravam com a realização de fisioterapias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diante do quadro e da limitação de indicação cirúrgica, propusemos um procedimento de &lt;a href="http://www.centromedicodacoluna.com.br/banners/neuroporacao"&gt;NEUROPORAÇÃO&lt;/a&gt; com sucesso absoluto. A paciente teve um ganho funcional substancial, com controle quase total de suas dores lombares, já na primeira semana após o procedimento, com plena satisfação.&amp;nbsp;Seguiu em uso de medicamentos para controle de componentes gliais e neuropáticos da dor, com grande controle primário de seu componente inflamatório naural e articular.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 620px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="position: relative; width: 620px;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;Hoje, após 10 meses do procedimento, encontra-se plenamente satisfeita com sua situação, sendo exemplo do sucesso terapêutico dos &lt;a href="http://www.centromedicodacoluna.com.br/procedimentos-intervencionistas/blog"&gt;modernos procedimentos intervencionistas&lt;/a&gt;. Nestas situações, trabalhos mostram que há uma satisfação em mais de 75% dos pacientes, com alívio total das dores em cerca de 35% deles. É um fantástico avanço em quadros anteriormente de difícil tratamento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 36px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;﻿&lt;strong&gt;Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 36px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Torre Saúde São Mateus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.4;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 36px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Av.

font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Disfunções mitocondriais têm sido associadas ao estado da dor neuropática, inclusive as associadas à diabetes ou como efeito colateral de drogas utilizadas no tratamento do câncer (exemplo, os antitumorais cisplatina e oxaliplatina) e antirretrovirais (como nucleotídeos inibidores da transcriptase reversa). Estas disfunções levam ao aumento na produção de Espécies Reativas de Oxigênio (ROS) na mitocôndria, gerando estresse oxidativo, resultando em distúrbios na dinâmica mitocondrial (mecanismos de biossíntese, transporte, fusão e fissão). Neste trabalho, os autores mostram o envolvimento de uma proteína regulatória do processo de fissão mitocondrial, a Drp1 (Proteína Relacionada à Dinamina-1) com a dor neuropática associada à utilização de drogas antitumorais e antirretrovirais, evidenciando que a inibição da atividade desta proteína reduz significativamente a hiperalgesia mecânica no modelo experimental utilizado. Um inibidor altamente seletivo da Drp1, o mdivi-1, foi administrado no local de testes nociceptivos, o dorso da pata traseira do rato. O mdivi-1 atenuou as formas de dor neuropática. Para avaliar o papel da Drp1 na hiperalgesia induzida por ROS foi demonstrado que o peróxido de hidrogênio intradérmico produz hiperalgesia dose-dependente, inibida por mdivi-1. A hiperalgesia mecânica induzida por diversos mediadores pró-nociceptivos, envolvidos na dor inflamatória e na dor neuropática (TNF-α, o fator GDNF e NO) também foi inibida por mdivi-1. Estes estudos oferecem suporte para um papel substancial da fissão mitocondrial em modelos pré-clínicos de dor inflamatória e neuropática.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Referência&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ferrari LF, Chum A, Bogen O, Reichling DB, Levine JD.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Role of Drp1, a key mitochondrial fission protein, in neuropathic pain.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;J Neurosci. 2011 31(31):11404-10.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911664748827616273-2488161820368578812?l=centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/feeds/2488161820368578812/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/mitocondria-e-dor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/2488161820368578812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/2488161820368578812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/mitocondria-e-dor.html' title='MITOCÔNDRIA E DOR'/><author><name>Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05917493730631570960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TB0BHL94rQI/AAAAAAAAAAo/fxn1V4wVaFw/S220/Logo_bigger%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911664748827616273.post-8158765889141151686</id><published>2011-10-09T23:38:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-10-09T23:38:56.687-03:00</updated><title type='text'>RESSONÂNCIA MAGNÉTICA FUNCIONAL AJUDA A DETERMINAR OBJETIVAMENTE O EFEITO ANALGÉSICO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 17px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Autora: Débora Crystina Ramos Assis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Imagem: http://saudealternativa.org/category/medicina/" src="http://www.dol.inf.br/Boletim/ImgVariantes/Ressonancia.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;A identificação de drogas efetivas para o tratamento da dor é extremamente difícil, já que para avaliar o efeito analgésico de um componente farmacológico, as ferramentas disponíveis são relativamente limitadas. Modelos comportamentais, dosagens de substâncias, e avaliação de ativação celular de marcadores conhecidos na patologia da dor são insuficientes para elucidar o efeito de algumas drogas no sistema nervoso central (SNC).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Diante disso, pesquisadores americanos sugeriram um modelo de avaliação de fármacos no SNC com a utilização de imagens obtidas através de Ressonância Magnética, onde áreas do SNC já relacionadas com o circuito da hiperalgesia foram estudas com a administração de fármacos analgésicos, na tentativa de elucidar o efeito da droga no SNC, bem como a relação com a presença de receptores e ativação de uma possível conexão entre as áreas cerebrais relacionadas com desenvolvimento álgico.

Novas pesquisas avançam na busca de novas drogas que possam agir nestes processos celulares e, aos poucos, percebemos o grande desafio das novas gerações na busca do controle das dores neuropáticas centrais e periféricas, entre elas as lombalgias, as ciatalgias, as cervicalgias, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não podemos continuar a tratar as dores com "panos mornos", ou seja, com processos empíricos e inespecíficos, sejam eles por terapias físicas ou químicas de ordem geral. Precisamos avançar com maior rigor científico e devemos ter uma boa interação laboratório-clínica, para a mais rápida adoção de protocolos eficazes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É neste contexto que a equipe do Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral tem participado dos grandes eventos mundiais sobre o tema DOR. Já estivemos várias vezes na Europa para congressos das federadas européias da IASP, no Congresso NeuPsig, e estivemos recentemente na Alemanha, para o importante congresso Europeu de dor, em Hamburgo.

Man kann eine rein nozizeptive Komponente, den nozizeptiven lokalisierten Rückenschmerz, von mehreren neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten abgrenzen. Bei den neuropathischen Formen können neu in die Bandscheibe eingesprossene Nozizeptoren durch degenerative Veränderungen geschädigt werden (neuropatisch-lokal). Weiterhin kann die Nervenwurzel einerseits durch eine mechanische Bedrängung verletzt werden (mechanisch-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz), andererseits können entzündliche Mediatoren aus der degenerierten Bandscheibe die Nervenwurzel chemisch schädigen, ohne dass eine eigentliche mechanische Kompression vorliegt (entzündlich-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz).&lt;div class="AbstractPara"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Das Ausmaß der verschiedenen Komponenten ist wahrscheinlich individuell sehr verschieden. Aufgrund dieser Mechanismenvielfalt hat sich heute zur Beschreibung einer Mischung aus nozizeptiven, entzündlichen und neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten der Begriff Mixed-pain-Syndrom durchgesetzt, ein Konzept, dass besonders bei der Lumboischialgie valide zu sein scheint.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="AbstractPara"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Genaue epidemiologische Daten, z.&amp;nbsp;B. zur Häufigkeit der neuropathischen Komponenten, zu den pathophysiologischen Entstehungsmechanismen der verschiedenen Schmerzformen und zu diagnostischen Möglichkeiten zur Identifikation der Komponenten gibt es bislang nicht. Eine solche differenzierte Charakterisierung ist wesentlich, da die neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten im Gegensatz zu den nozizeptiven Schmerzen einer völlig anderen Therapie bedürfen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="AbstractPara"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Die medikamentöse Therapie der chronischen Rückenschmerzen wird heutzutage nahezu ausschließlich gegen die nozizeptive Komponente gerichtet. Als First-line-Medikation werden nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika und in schweren Fällen Opioide eingesetzt. Die durch die mechanische Kompression bedingte neuropathische Schmerzkomponente, wie auch Teile der entzündlich-neuropathischen Komponente der Lumboischialgie, können jedoch insbesondere durch die nichtsteroidalen Antiphlogistika nicht entscheidend beeinflusst werden. Für diese Schmerzkomponenten stellen die sog. Koanalgetika, zu denen die Antiepileptika und die Antidepressiva gezählt werden, das wesentliche Indikationsgebiet dar. In Kombination mit nichtsteroidalen Antiphlogistika können insbesondere bei bislang therapierefraktären Patienten Carbamazepin, Gabapentin oder Pregabalin bzw. alternativ Amitriptylin eingesetzt werden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Keyword" style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="KeywordHeading" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Schlüsselwörter&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Nozizeptorschmerz&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Neuropathischer Schmerz&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Antidepressiva&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Antikonvulsiva&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Para" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Chronische Rückenschmerzen gehören zu den häufigsten Schmerzsyndromen. Sehr oft ist bei den Patienten die Schmerzsymptomatik allerdings nicht auf den Rückenbereich begrenzt, sondern es wird über eine mehr oder weniger gut lokalisierbare Ausstrahlung der Beschwerden in die Extremität geklagt (Ischialgie). Werden die Schmerzen im Ausbreitungsgebiet einer oder mehrerer Nervenwurzeln wahrgenommen oder bestehen Sensibilitätsstörungen, Reflexabschwächungen oder motorische Ausfälle der entsprechenden Kennmuskeln, bezeichnet man die Schmerzen als radikulär, sind die Grenzen unscharf, als pseudoradikulär. Verschiedene Syndrome können zu radikulären Symptomen führen (Tabelle&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Tab1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;a href="" name="Tab1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Capt" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;span class="CaptNr" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tabelle&amp;nbsp;1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Typische Diagnosen, die häufig mit neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten vergesellschaftet sind&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="1"&gt;&lt;colgroup&gt;&lt;col&gt;&lt;/col&gt;&lt;/colgroup&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Bandscheibenvorfall&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Postdiskektomiesyndrom (&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;failed back surgery&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Stenose des Spinalkanals oder der Neuroforamina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Spondylosis deformans&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Spondylolisthesis/Spondylodisziitis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Radikulitis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Tumoren und Metastasen der Wirbelsäule&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Wirbelsäulentrauma&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;–&amp;nbsp;Andere Wurzelkompressionssyndrome&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Die lokalisierten Schmerzen im Rückenbereich werden bisher zu den nozizeptiven Schmerzen gezählt. Allgemein wird angenommen, dass die Ausbreitung der Schmerzen auf die Extremitäten auf eine Beteiligung neuronaler Strukturen schließen lässt. Das Konzept der mechanischen Kompression einer Nervenwurzel wird für die Pathogenese der radikulär ausstrahlenden Rückenschmerzen postuliert. Klassische diskogene Ursachen, wie der Bandscheibenprolaps oder -sequester, aber auch knöcherne oder postoperative fibrotische Verwachsungen stehen im Verdacht, für die Schmerzen verantwortlich zu sein. Hierfür sprechen die Erfolge der operativen Dekompression bei einem Großteil der behandelten Patienten. Man spricht dann von einer sog. neuropathischen Komponente der Rückenschmerzen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Dennoch kann häufig in bildgebenden Verfahren ein entsprechendes strukturelles Korrelat, das die Nervenwurzel komprimiert, nicht gefunden werden, obwohl der Patient klinisch alle Symptome der Ischialgie präsentiert. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Patientengruppe mit chronischen Lumboischialgien. Somit gibt es Hinweise, dass auch andere Mechanismen außer einer mechanischen Kompression an der Entstehung der Symptome einer Ischialgie beteiligt sein müssen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Im folgenden Beitrag soll diskutiert werden, in wieweit die klinischen Erfahrungen und experimentellen Ergebnissen der Forschung diese Mechanismenvielfalt der Rückenschmerzen bestätigen können und welche Bedeutung dieses für die Therapie im klinischen Alltag haben könnte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec5"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Akute und chronische Schmerzen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Heading3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Akute Schmerzen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Akute Schmerzen werden durch adäquate Erregung der nozizeptiven Neurone verursacht. An der Generierung, Kodierung und Transduktion sind polymodale Nozizeptoren und Gruppe-IV- (C-Fasern) und Gruppe-III-Nervenafferenzen (A&lt;sub&gt;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="delta" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge948.gif" /&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;-Fasern) beteiligt. Hierbei können Nervenfasern durch unterschiedlichste chemische, mechanische oder thermische Noxen erregt werden. Neben der afferenten Funktion besitzen viele nozizeptive Afferenzen auch eine efferente Funktion. Bei Erregung dieser Fasern kommt es zu einer Freisetzung von Neuropeptiden wie z.&amp;nbsp;B. Substanz&amp;nbsp;P und&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;calcitonin gene related peptide&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;(CGRP). Diese Peptide können dann eine sog. neurogene Entzündung verursachen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec7"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Heading3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Chronische Schmerzen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Para" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Chronische Schmerzen können in zwei Kategorien unterteilt werden:&lt;table border="0" class="OrderedList" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 17pt; margin-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td&gt;–&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Chronische Schmerzen, die nach Gewebetraumen entstehen, wobei die peripheren und zentralen Strukturen des nozizeptiven Systems intakt sind (nozizeptive Schmerzen). Diese Kategorie von Schmerzen ist durch eine veränderte Verarbeitung von Signalen in den intakten peripheren und zentralen Neuronen gekennzeichnet, die sich in einer Sensibilisierung und Veränderungen der Signalinduktion und -transduktion äußert. Diese Schmerzen gelten bei kausaler Behandlung am peripheren nozizeptiven Neuron als reversibel. Hierzu gehören z.&amp;nbsp;B. die Schmerzen beim chronisch-entzündlichen Gelenkrheuma.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td&gt;–&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Chronische Schmerzen, die nach einer&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Schädigung&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;der nozizeptiven Systeme entstehen (neuropathische Schmerzen): Bei dieser Kategerie chronischer Schmerzen ist das Nervengewebe selbst durch verschiedene Noxen verletzt. Die klassische Verletzung von Nervengewebe entsteht durch mechanische Läsionen. Aber auch metabolische oder entzündliche Erkrankungen können einen Nerv schädigen. Durch die Verletzung kommt es zu einer Änderung der morphologischen, physiologischen, aber auch biochemischen Eigenschaften nozizeptiver und nichtnozizeptiver Neurone mit Veränderung der Repräsentanz und Verarbeitung schmerzhafter Signale im zentralen Nervensystem. Neue Rezeptoren und Kanäle erscheinen auf den Membranen der Afferenzen nach den verschiedenen Läsionen (&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;phenotypic switch&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;). Diese Veränderungen können irreversibel persistieren, sodass Schmerzen auch über die Heilung des Gewebes hinaus bestehen bleiben können.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Para" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Bei einigen Schmerzsyndromen existiert ein Nebeneinander neuropathischer und nozizeptiver Schmerzen. Es wird angenommen, dass insbesondere bei chronischen Rückenschmerzen und der Ischialgie eine Überlappung beider Kategorien mit fließenden Übergängen vorliegt (Tabelle&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Tab2" style="color: red;"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;a href="" name="Tab2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Capt" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;span class="CaptNr" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tabelle&amp;nbsp;2&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Entstehungsmechanismen chronischer Lumboischialgien&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="1"&gt;&lt;colgroup&gt;&lt;col&gt;&lt;/col&gt;&lt;col&gt;&lt;/col&gt;&lt;col&gt;&lt;/col&gt;&lt;/colgroup&gt;&lt;thead&gt;&lt;tr class="header" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #d6d6d6; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Schmerzkomponente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Klinische Charakteristika&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Mechanismus&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/thead&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Nozizeptiver Rückenschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Diffus im Rücken&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Aussprossen von nozizeptiven Fasern in die degenerierte Bandscheibe, andauernde Erregung dieser Fasern&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td colspan="3"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;i&gt;Neuropathischer Rückenschmerz&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Neuropathisch-lokaler Rückenschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Diffus im Rücken&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Schädigung der ausgesprossenen nozizeptiven Fasern innerhalb der degenerierten Bandscheibe durch Kompression oder Entzündungsmediatoren&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td rowspan="2"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Mechanisch-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Radikuläre Schmerzausstrahlung&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="2"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Mechanische Nervenläsion durch Kompression der Nervenwurzel (Diskushernie, Narbengewebe etc.), verletzte Nervenfasern exprimieren Kanäle und Rezeptoren, Veränderung der physiologischen Eigenschaften durch mechanische Nervenläsion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Radikuläre Sensibilitätsstörungen und sensorische Positiv-Symptome&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td rowspan="2"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Entzündlich-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Radikuläre Schmerzausstrahlung&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="2"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Entzündliche Nervenläsion durch Kontakt der Nervenwurzel mit inflammatorischen Mediatoren freigesetzt aus der degenerierten Bandscheibe, Phospholipasen, Prostaglandine und Zytokine schädigen die Nervenfasern, Veränderung der physiologischen Eigenschaften durch chemische Nervenläsion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="noclass"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Radikuläre Sensibilitätsstörungen und sensorische Positivsymptome&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec8"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Der nozizeptive lokale Rückenschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Bei gesunden Probanden existiert eine afferente Innervation der Bandscheibe nur im äußeren Drittel des Anulus fibrosus. In immunhistochemischen Studien konnte gezeigt werden, dass diese Innervation aus nozizeptiven A&lt;sub&gt;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="delta" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge948.gif" /&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;- und C-Fasern besteht. Eine ähnliche Innervation lässt sich im vorderen und hinteren Längsband nachweisen. Hier finden sich auch propriozeptive Fasern von Paccini-Körperchen, Golgi-Sehnenorganen und Ruffini-Scheiben.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;In der degenerierten Bandscheibe verändert sich diese Situation dramatisch. Die nozizeptiven Fasern aus den Längsbändern und dem Anulus fibrosus beginnen auszusprossen und bis in den Bereich des Nucleus pulposus einzuwachsen. Es konnte eine Korrelation zwischen diesen gefäßunabhängig tief in die Bandscheibe einwachsenden nozizeptiven Fasern und dem Auftreten von chronischen Rückenschmerzen nachgewiesen werden [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR5" style="color: red;"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. Zusätzlich konnten auch Nervenfasern dargestellt werden, die zusammen mit Blutgefäßen in die degenerierte Bandscheibe vorwachsen, die vermutlich der Durchblutungsregulation dienen. In Arealen der Knorpelschädigung konnten in unmittelbarer Nähe zu den Blutgefäßen Makrophagen dargestellt werden [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR17" style="color: red;"&gt;17&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Es wird vermutet, dass das Ausmaß der Vaskularisierung und Neoinnervation der Bandscheibe in direktem Zusammenhang mit der Entstehung von lokalisierten Rückenschmerzen bei Bandscheibendegenerationen steht. Diese Schmerzen stellen einen physiologischen Schutzmechanismus vor einer weiteren Traumatisierung dar. Eine andauernde Reizung der in die degenerierte Bandscheibe vorgewachsenen Nozizeptoren durch Druckreize und Entzündungsmediatoren aus den Makrophagen führt zu chronischen Schmerzen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Degenerative Wirbelsäulenerkrankungen führen häufig zu einer begleitenden muskulären Fehlbeanspruchung. Durch Überlastung der Muskulatur werden muskuläre Nozizeptoren durch algetische Mediatoren, wie ATP und saure Valenzen, erregt. Durch Freisetzung von Neuropeptiden aus den nozizeptiven Neuronen entwickeln sich lokale Ödeme, in deren Bereich unter anderem Bradykinin freigesetzt wird. Dies führt zu einer weiteren Sensibilisierung der muskulären Nozizeptoren, die wiederum zu einer höheren Schmerzintensität führt. Es entsteht somit zusätzlich ein nozizeptiver muskulär bedingter lokaler Rückenschmerz [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR10" style="color: red;"&gt;10&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec9"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Der neuropathische lokale Rückenschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Die Einsprossung von nozizeptiven Nervenfasern bis in die Tiefe der degenerativen Zwischenwirbelscheibe könnte auch zur Entstehung eines lokalen neuropathischen Rückenschmerzes führen. Neben der physiologischen protektiven nozizeptiven Schmerzkomponente treten zusätzlich zwei neuropathische schmerzgenerierende Mechanismen hinzu. Zum einen kommt es durch die massive Freisetzung von inflammatorischen Mediatoren im Bandscheibengewebe zu einer chemischen Schädigung der nozizeptiven Nervenfasern [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR7" style="color: red;"&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. Zum anderen führt die mechanische Gefügeinstabilität der degenerierten Bandscheibe selbst zu einer Kompression der neu einsprossenden nozizeptiven Nervenfasern mit einer nachfolgenden mechanischen Schädigung. So ist zu vermuten, dass auch bei Patienten ohne radikulär ausstrahlende Schmerzen, jedoch mit diffusen, häufig in der Tiefe lokalisierten, belastungsabhängigen Rückenschmerzen auch ohne mechanische Kompression des Spinalnervs eine neuropathische Schmerzkomponente vorliegen könnte. Entsprechend zeigten erste offene Studien die Wirksamkeit von Gabapentin bei Patienten mit degenerativen Wirbelsäulenerkrankungen [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR6" style="color: red;"&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec10"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Der mechanisch-neuropathische Nervenwurzelschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Sobald klinisch neben den lokalisierten Rückenschmerzen eine Ausstrahlung der Schmerzen auf die Extremitäten nachweisbar ist, wird auf eine Mitbeteiligung und Verletzung der Nervenwurzel geschlossen. Dies gilt insbesondere für Schmerzen in Zusammenhang mit radikulären Sensibilitätsstörungen, Reflexausfällen und Lähmungen. Zu den klassischen diskogenen Ursachen einer Nervenkompression gehören der Bandscheibenprolaps oder -sequester, aber auch knöcherne oder postoperative fibrotische Verwachsungen. Besteht die Nervenwurzelkompression über einen längeren Zeitraum fort, kommt es unweigerlich zu einer chronischen Nervenverletzung. Man spricht dann von einer sog. neuropathischen Komponente der Rückenschmerzen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec11"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Heading3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Entstehungsmechanismen der mechanisch-neuropathischen Schmerzkomponente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Para" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Eine andauernde Kompression einer Nervenwurzel führt zu einer mechanischen Verletzung der peripheren Nervenstrukturen (Abb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Fig1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;). Nach der Nervenläsion tragen vielfältige morphologische, physiologische und biochemische Veränderungen des peripheren afferenten Neurons zur Entstehung chronisch neuropathischer Schmerzen bei. Die Nervenfasern verändern komplett ihr Aussehen [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR2" style="color: red;"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;div class="Figure" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Fig1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="MediaObjects/s00132-004-0645-0fhc1.jpg" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/MediaObjects/s00132-004-0645-0fhc1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Capt" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;span class="CaptNr" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Abb.&amp;nbsp;1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pathophysiologische Entstehungsmechanismen der chronischen Lumboischialgie.&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nozizeptiver Rückenschmerz:&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Das Einsprossen von nozizeptiven C-Fasern in die degenerierte Bandscheibe steht in direktem Zusammenhang mit der Entstehung von lokalisierten Rückenschmerzen. Eine andauernde Reizung der vorgewachsenen Nozizeptoren durch Druckreize und Entzündungsmediatoren aus den Makrophagen führt zu chronischen Schmerzen.&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Neuropathischer Rückenschmerz:&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bei den neuropathischen Formen kann die Nervenwurzel einerseits durch eine mechanische Bedrängung verletzt werden—man spricht vom klassischen mechanisch-neuropathischen Nervenwurzelschmerz—, andererseits können entzündliche Mediatoren aus der degenerierten Bandscheibe die Nervenwurzel chemisch schädigen, ohne dass eine eigentliche mechanische Kompression vorliegt (entzündlich-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz). Die Läsion der Nervenwurzel durch beide neuropathische Mechanismen führt zur zentralen Sensibilisierung (Chronifizierung) mit der Ausbildung einer A-Faser-vermittelten Allodynie. (Näheres s. Text)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;i&gt;Morphologisch&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;kommt es nach einer Läsion zur einer Atrophie oder Degeneration der Neurone. Um die deafferenzierten Areale zu versorgen, kommt es zu einer Aussprossung proximal vom Läsionsort und einem kollateralen Sprossen von afferenten Neuronen benachbarter Nerven in das denervierte Territorium.&lt;i&gt;Biochemisch&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;verändert sich die Transmittersynthese in den Afferenzen. Hierbei erfolgt eine veränderte Produktion von Neuropeptiden in afferenten A- und C-Neuronen. Zusätzlich kommt es zu einer veränderten Synthese und zu einem veränderten Transport von Transducermolekülen und Kanalmolekülen (insbesondere Na-Kanäle) und einer Expression von&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="agr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge945.gif" /&gt;-Adreno- und Glutamatrezeptoren.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;i&gt;Physiologisch&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;generieren geschädigte primär afferente nozizeptive C-Fasern ektope Nervenimpulse. Die pathologische Aktivität kann sowohl in der Peripherie am Ort der Läsion oder weit entfernt in den Somata im Spinalganglion entstehen. Diese Aktivität kann kontinuierlich, irregulär oder salvenartig bestehen und vermutlich auch ephaptisch zwischen verschiedenen geschädigten Neuronen geleitet werden. Ektope Entladungen werden als Ursache der einschießenden Attackenschmerzen diskutiert. Weiterhin kann es unter pathologischen Bedingungen zur peripheren chronischen Sensibilisierung von Nozizeptoren kommen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Charakteristische Merkmale sensibilisierter Nozizeptoren sind die Ausbildung einer Ruheaktivität, einer erniedrigten Schwelle gegenüber noxischen Reizen und die Erzeugung einer supranormalen Antwort auf überschwellige Reize. Sensibilisierte Neurone sind an der Entstehung von brennenden Dauerschmerzen beteiligt [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR4" style="color: red;"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. An diesen Vorgängen sind sowohl die Neurone, die Schwannzellen, als auch Signalmoleküle und deren Rezeptoren beteiligt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Zusätzlich induziert eine Nervenläsion dynamische neuroplastische Veränderungen im zentralen Nervensystem (Rückenmark, Abb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Fig1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;), die dazu führen, dass die zentralen nozizeptiven Neurone (u.&amp;nbsp;a.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;wide dynamic range neurons&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;, WDR-Neurone) verstärkt auf die C-Faser-Aktivität antworten (&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;wind-up&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Unter diesen Bedingungen können durch niederschwellige Mechanorezeptoren nun auch A&lt;sub&gt;&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="beta" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge946.gif" /&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;- und A&lt;sub&gt;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="delta" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge948.gif" /&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;- Fasern erregt werden (verschiedene Formen der Allodynie). Diese sog. zentrale Sensibilisierung entsteht durch die Wirkung erregender Aminosäuren und Tachykinine, freigesetzt aus den zentralen Endigungen der C-Fasern und aus Interneuronen, auf glutamaterge (N-Methyl-D-Aspartat) NMDA-Rezeptoren und Neurokininrezeptoren der Hinterhornneurone. Die Besetzung dieser Rezeptoren bewirkt die Aktivierung bestimmter Ca-Kanäle auf der postsynaptischen Membran. Die zentrale Sensibilisierung ist zunächst reversibel. Der entscheidende Faktor, der die zentrale Sensibilisierung initiiert, ist also eine akute, intensive noxische Stimulation. Im weiteren Verlauf kann sich der zentrale Prozess verselbständigen und unabhängig von nozizeptiven Impulsen aus der Peripherie fortbestehen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Das nozizeptive System im Rückenmark steht physiologischerweise unter einer ständigen inhibitorischen Kontrolle, um eine nozizeptive Überaktivität zu vermeiden (Abb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Fig1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;). Absteigende Bahnen aus dem Hirnstamm (z.&amp;nbsp;B. aus dem periaquäduktalen Grau) hemmen mit den Transmittern Noradrenalin und Serotonin die Aktivität in nozizeptiven Hinterhornneuronen. Darüber hinaus üben GABAerge Interneurone eine tonische Inhibition im Hinterhorn aus. Chronische nozizeptive Aktivität kann einen Funktionsverlust und sogar eine Degeneration dieser inhibitorischen Systeme bewirken, was zu einer unbeeinträchtigten Transmission nozizeptiver Impulse führt und so die Schmerzchronifizierung fördert (Abb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Fig1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec12"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Der entzündlich-neuropathische Wurzelschmerz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Wie oben erwähnt, findet man nicht selten Patienten, die klinisch alle klassischen Zeichen einer Wurzelkompression mit typischer radikulärer Schmerzausstrahlung zeigen, bei denen aber keine mechanische Bedrängung der Nervenwurzel und damit keine mechanisch bedingte Nervenläsion im eigentlichen Sinne nachweisbar ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde eine mögliche Entzündung der Nervenwurzel durch die anatomische Nähe zu einer entzündeten und degenerierten Bandscheibe als Ursache für die Ischialgie postuliert (biochemisch-mechanisches Erklärungsmodell, Abb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Fig1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;). Dieses Modell wird durch Untersuchungen des Liquor cerebrospinalis bei Patienten mit herniierten Bandscheiben unterstützt, die erhöhte Spiegel von Albumin und IgG zeigten. Das Ausmaß dieser entzündlichen Liquorveränderungen korrelierte mit der Schwere der klinischen Befunde [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR14" style="color: red;"&gt;14&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec13"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Heading3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Entstehungsmechanismen der entzündlich-neuropathischen Wurzelschmerzkomponente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="FormalPara" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Phospholipasen und Prostaglandine&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Entsprechend dieser Hypothese wurde tatsächlich in sequestrierten menschlichen Bandscheiben eine höhere Konzentration von Phospholipase&amp;nbsp;2 (PLA2), einem potenten Entzündungsmediator, nachgewiesen. Ein positiver Lasègue und das Ausmaß der Ischialgiekomponente korrelierten mit höheren PLA2-Spiegeln. Diese Befunde sind aber bislang nicht unumstritten. Eine Wirkung von PLA2 auf die Nervenwurzel und dessen Funktion wurde an einem Rattenmodell getestet. Nach Injektion von PLA2 in den epiduralen Raum der Höhe L4–L5 konnte eine Demyelinisierung dieser Nervenwurzeln beobachtet werden. Eine leichte mechanische Kompression dieser Spinalnerven zeigte dann eine über den Reiz fortdauernde ektope Aktivität. Klinisch zeigten die Ratten eine Überempfindlichkeit gegenüber sensiblen Reizen und eine Kraftminderung, entsprechend der segmentalen Innervation. Dementsprechend verminderte die Injektion eines selektiven PLA2-Inhibitors die durch Applikation von Bandscheibengewebe auf Spinalnerven hervorgerufene neuropathisch-radikuläre Schmerzkomponente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Ähnliche Befunde konnten für einige Prostaglandine erhoben werden. In menschlichen, herniierten Bandscheiben wurde ein signifikant erhöhter Gehalt an Leukotrien&amp;nbsp;4 und Thromboxan nachgewiesen. Diese Mediatoren spielen eine gewichtige Rolle in der Entzündungskaskade, ein weiterer Hinweis auf eine aktivierte Kininkaskade bei symptomatischen Bandscheibenvorfällen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="FormalPara" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Zytokine&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Zytokine wirken wie viele andere Substanzen agonistisch mit Phospholipasen und Prostaglandinen proinflammatorisch. Darüber hinaus induzieren Zytokine eine Aktivierung von PLA2 mit einer konsekutiv aktivierten Entzündungskaskade. Bisher wurde jedoch angenommen, dass Bandscheiben nur bedingt an immunologischen Prozessen teilnehmen und somit die Produktion und Sekretion von Zytokinen mangels immunkompetenter Zellen in Bandscheiben nur eingeschränkt, wenn überhaupt möglich ist. Folgende Befunde sprechen jedoch gegen diese Annahme und unterstützen die Beteiligung von Zytokinen als Mediatoren einer entzündlichen-neuropathischen Komponente der Ischialgie: Die epidurale Applikation von autologem Nucleus-pulposus-Material führt im Rattenmodell zu einem intraneuralen Ödem und einer Minderung der Nervenleitgeschwindigkeit [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR11" style="color: red;"&gt;11&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Analysen von Gewebeproben aus der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft von tierexperimentellen Diskushernien zeigten eine erhöhte Produktion von Il-1, IL-6 und TNF-&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="agr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge945.gif" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;sowie PE2 [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR15" style="color: red;"&gt;15&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. Entsprechend der Hypothese wurde direkt in herniierten Bandscheiben eine Expression von TNF-&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="agr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge945.gif" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;demonstriert. Die Applikation der gleichen Menge von TNF-&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="agr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge945.gif" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;auf Nervenwurzeln verursachte neuropathische Veränderungen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Bei Patienten mit persistierender Ischialgie wurden operativ gewonnene Bandscheibenproben untersucht, die signifikant erhöhte Il-6 und PE2-Spiegel enthielten [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR7" style="color: red;"&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. Eine in vitro durchgeführte Stimulation mit Il-1 konnte eine gesteigerte Freisetzung dieser Mediatoren in herniiertem, aber auch unversehrtem Bandscheibengewebe zeigen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec14"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Das Mixed-pain-Konzept&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Aus diesen pathophysiologischen Konzepten kann eindeutig gefolgert werden, dass Rückenschmerzen aus mehreren Schmerzkomponenten bestehen, die unterschiedliche pathophysiologische Entstehungsmechanismen haben. Man kann eine rein nozizeptive Komponente, den nozizeptiven lokalisierten Rückenschmerz, von mehreren neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten abgrenzen (Tabelle&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Tab2" style="color: red;"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Bei den neuropathischen Formen können neu in die Bandscheibe eingesprossene Nozizeptoren durch degenerative Veränderungen geschädigt werden. Es kann weiterhin die Nervenwurzel einerseits durch eine mechanische Bedrängung verletzt werden—man spricht dann vom klassischen mechanisch-neuropathischen Nervenwurzelschmerz—, andererseits können entzündliche Mediatoren aus der degenerierten Bandscheibe die Nervenwurzel chemisch schädigen, ohne dass eine eigentliche mechanische Kompression vorliegt. Man kann diese Komponente als den entzündlich-neuropathischen Nervenwurzelschmerz bezeichnen. Das Ausmaß der verschiedenen Komponenten ist wahrscheinlich individuell sehr verschieden und es existieren fließende Übergänge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Aufgrund der Mechanismenvielfalt der unterschiedlichen Schmerzkomponenten hat sich heute zur Beschreibung einer Mischung aus nozizeptiven, entzündlichen und neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten der Begriff Mixed-pain-Syndrom durchgesetzt, ein Konzept, das besonders bei der Lumboischialgie valide zu sein scheint (Abb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#Fig1" style="color: red;"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Diese differenzierte Bezeichnung und Charakterisierung chronischer Schmerzsyndrome ist nicht nur aus wissenschaftlichen Erwägungen von entscheidender Bedeutung, sondern hat auch direkte Therapierelevanz, da die neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten im Gegensatz zu den nozizeptiven Schmerzen z.&amp;nbsp;T. einer völlig anderen Therapie bedürfen. Diese wird unten ausführlich diskutiert.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec15"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Heading3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Diagnostik der neuropathischen Komponenten des Rückenschmerzes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Vor dem Hintergrund des bislang hypothetischen Konzeptes einer Mischung aus nozizeptiven und neuropathischen Schmerzmechanismen bei der Lumboischialgie ergibt sich die Frage, ob es diagnostische Möglichkeiten gibt, das Ausmaß und die Zusammensetzung der verschiedenen Schmerzkomponenten zu charakterisieren. Wie oben diskutiert stellen bildgebende Verfahren nicht die geeigneten Techniken dar, eine neuropathische Schmerzkomponente zu identifizieren. Häufig kann kein entsprechendes strukturelles Korrelat gefunden werden, das die Nervenwurzel komprimiert, obwohl der Patient klinisch alle Symptome der Ischialgie präsentiert. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Patientengruppe mit chronischen Lumboischialgien. Darüber hinaus kann die Nervenwurzel auch durch entzündliche Mediatoren aus der degenerierten Bandscheibe geschädigt werden, ohne dass ein direkter mechanischer Kontakt zur Wurzel besteht.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Para" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Somit muss die Einordnung der verschiedenen Schmerzkomponenten anhand klinischer Testverfahren erfolgen. Bei klassischen neuropathischen Schmerzsyndromen gibt es einige diagnostisch wertvolle, charakteristische Symptome, die aber bei der Lumboischialgie bislang nicht validiert sind. Es werden negative (Hypästhesie und Hypalgesie) und positive sensible Phänomene (Kribbelparästhesien, Dysästhesien und spontane sowie evozierte Schmerzen) unterschieden.

Als First-line-Medikation werden nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika und in schweren Fällen Opioide eingesetzt, die ihre Wirkung über einen antientzündlichen und analgetischen Mechanismus entfalten. Die neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten werden durch die nichtsteroidalen Antiphlogistika nicht beeinflusst.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika haben sich zur Behandlung typischer Nozizeptorschmerzsyndrome (entzündlichen Erkrankungen wie Arthritis sowie Arthrose und Tumorschmerzen) bewährt. Sie blockieren die Cyclooxygenase und hemmen damit die Freisetzung algetischer und proinflammatorischer Mediatoren, die als Arachidonsäuremetaboliten aus der Zellwand herausgelöst werden. Der Wirkort liegt ebenfalls im zentralen Nervensystem. Die Isolierung der 3 klassischen Opioidrezeptoren (&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="mgr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge956.gif" /&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="delta" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge948.gif" /&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="kappa" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge954.gif" /&gt;) und die Entwicklung entsprechender Agonisten und Antagonisten hat die moderne Schmerztherapie revolutioniert. Neben der Akutschmerztherapie (Herzinfarkt, postoperative Schmerzen, akutes Abdomen) sind Opioide bei allen chronischen Nozizeptorschmerzen (entzündliche und Tumorschmerzen, nozizeptiven Rückenschmerzen) gut wirksam [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR9" style="color: red;"&gt;9&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec17"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Heading3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Spezifische Behandlung der neuropathischen Schmerzkomponenten&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika und Opioide sind nachweislich bei der nozizeptiven Schmerzkomponente der Lumboischialgie wirksam. Die durch die mechanische Kompression bedingte neuropathische Schmerzkomponente, wie auch Teile der entzündlich-neuropathischen Komponente der Lumboischialgie, können insbesondere durch nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika nicht entscheidend beeinflusst werden. Für diese Schmerzkomponenten stellen die sog. Koanalgetika, zu denen die Antiepileptika und die Antidepressiva gezählt werden, das wesentliche Indikationsgebiet dar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Zum Teil wirken diese Substanzen auf Kanalproteine und Rezeptoren, die nur nach einer Nervenverletzung exprimiert werden. Aus diesem Grunde ist ihre spezifische Wirkung bei neuropathischen Schmerzen zu erklären, wohingegen intakte Nervenfasern nicht durch diese Substanzen beeinflusst werden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Verschiedene Wirkstoffe stehen in der Behandlung neuropathischer Schmerzen zur Verfügung. Positive kontrollierte Studien liegen für unterschiedliche neuropathische Erkrankungen vor, z.&amp;nbsp;B. für die postzosterische Neuralgie oder die schmerzhafte diabetische Polyneuropathie [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR13" style="color: red;"&gt;13&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. Ergebnisse randomisierter, placebokontrollierter Studien hinsichtlich der Effektivität dieser Wirkstoffe zur Behandlung der neuropathischen Komponenten der Lumboischialgie gibt es jedoch bisher noch nicht. Einige vielversprechende klinische Beobachtungen und offene Studien [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR6" style="color: red;"&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;] geben allerdings Anlass zur Hoffnung, dass auch diesen Patienten in Zukunft geholfen werden kann.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec18"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h4 class="Section3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Trizyklische Antidepressiva&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Diese Substanzen blockieren die Wiederaufnahme der monoaminergen Transmitter im Rückenmark. Dadurch wird der Effekt dieser biogenen Amine, die in schmerzmodulierenden deszendierenden Bahnsystemen vorkommen, aktiviert. Weiterhin blockieren diese Substanzen spannungsabhängige Kaliumkanäle und haben sympatholytische Eigenschaften.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;In placebokontrollierten Studien ist die Wirksamkeit verschiedener Antidepressiva bei neuropathischen Schmerzsyndromen nachgewiesen worden. Amitriptylin, ein Serotonin- und Noradrenalin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer, ist zurzeit die am besten untersuchte Substanz. In mehreren kontrollierten Studien konnte ein positiver Effekt bei der postzosterischen Neuralgie und der diabetischen Neuropathie gezeigt werden. Alle neuropathischen Schmerztypen, und zwar der brennende Spontanschmerz, einschießende Schmerzattacken sowie Allodynie, werden unterdrückt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Die mittlere Dosis, die zur Schmerzreduktion notwendig ist, liegt unter der antidepressiven Dosis. Der Schmerzreduktion liegt deshalb offenbar keine antidepressive Wirkung zugrunde. Auch setzt die Schmerzreduktion nach einigen Tagen bis 2&amp;nbsp;Wochen ein, wohingegen eine antidepressive Wirkung bei höherer Dosis erst nach einigen Wochen sichtbar wird.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec19"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h4 class="Section3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Antikonvulsiva mit membranstabilisierender Wirkung (Na-Kanal-Blocker)&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Carbamazepin und Oxcarbazepin blockieren spannungsabhängige Natriumkanäle auf sensibilisierten nozizeptiven Neuronen mit ektoper Erregungsausbildung im peripheren und zentralen Nervensystem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Seit langem ist der gute Effekt des Carbamazepin bei der typischen Trigeminusneuralgie bekannt. Positive Studien sind ebenfalls für die schmerzhafte diabetische Polyneuropathie und zentrale neuropathische Schmerzsyndrome veröffentlicht. Nach dem klinischen Eindruck sind sie besonders bei einschießenden oder getriggerten Schmerzen effizient. Oxcarbazepin stellt v.&amp;nbsp;a. bei pharmakologischen Interaktionen (z.&amp;nbsp;B. mit oralen Antikoagulanzien) und in Bezug auf die Hepatotoxizität und allergischen Reaktionen eine Alternative zu Carbamazepin dar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h4 class="Section3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Antikonvulsiva mit Wirkung auf neuronale Kalziumkanäle&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Gabapentin und Pregabalin binden an die&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="agr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge945.gif" /&gt;2&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="delta" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge948.gif" /&gt;-Subunit der spannungsabhängigen L-Typ-Kalziumkanäle und können so zentrale Sensibilisierungsvorgänge beeinflussen. Beide Substanzen wirken nur wenig über eine Interaktion mit dem GABA-Rezeptor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Es liegen positive Studien für die schmerzhafte Polyneuropathie und die postzosterische Neuralgie sowie für eine Vielzahl anderer Neuropathien unterschiedlichster Genese vor. Eine Studie konnte insbesondere eine Verbesserung des Brennschmerzes und der Hyperalgesie nachweisen [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR12" style="color: red;"&gt;12&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Einige klinische Studiendaten legen nahe, dass Pregabalin für die Behandlung des&amp;nbsp;&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;mixed pain&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;sinnvoll sein könnte. Pregabalin wird bis auf eine anfängliche Müdigkeit und Schwindel gut vertragen, und es sind keine Medikamenteninteraktionen bekannt. Die Substanz hat eine klare Pharmakokinetik mit einem schnellen Wirkeintritt innerhalb der ersten Tage und scheint insgesamt einfacher handhabbar zu sein als Gabapentin. Pregabalin führt zu einer deutlichen Zunahme des REM-Schlafs und hat einen schlaffördernden und anxiolytischen Effekt. Diese Vorteile können zur Behandlung der häufigen im Zusammenhang mit der Lumboischialgie auftretetenden Komorbiditäten, Schlafstörung und Angst, ausgenutzt werden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec21"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h4 class="Section3" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Immunmodulierende Substanzen&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Vor dem Hintergrund des entzündlich-neuropathischen Schmerzkonzeptes könnten zukünftig Substanzen, die die Freisetzung von Zytokinen im peripheren und zentralen Nervensystem regulieren, in den Fokus des Interesses rücken. Aber bereits heute existieren in diesem Zusammenhang einige interessante Erkenntnisse. Untersuchungen bei Patienten mit Depressionen konnten eine Reduktion der TNF-&lt;img align="BASELINE" alt="agr" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge945.gif" /&gt;-Serumspiegeln unter der Therapie mit Amitriptylin zeigen [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR8" style="color: red;"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;]. Ebenso wird ein immunmodulierender Effekt für Antikonvulsiva [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR3" style="color: red;"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;] und Opioide [&lt;cite&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/fulltext.html#CR16" style="color: red;"&gt;16&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;] vermutet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Sec22"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="heading2" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19pt; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0.8em;"&gt;Fazit für die Praxis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Die Ergebnisse tierexperimenteller und humaner Studien geben zahlreiche Hinweise darauf, dass bei der Lumboischialgie neben rein nozizeptiven Schmerzentstehungsmechanismen auch Mechanismen wirken, die neuropathische Schmerzen auslösen und unterhalten können.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Bei den neuropathischen Formen können neu in die Bandscheibe eingesprossene Nozizeptoren durch degenerative Veränderungen geschädigt werden. Weiterhin kann die Nervenwurzel einerseits durch eine mechanische Bedrängung verletzt werden (mechanisch-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz). Andererseits können entzündliche Mediatoren aus der degenerierten Bandscheibe die Nervenwurzel chemisch schädigen, ohne dass eine eigentliche mechanische Kompression vorliegt (entzündlich-neuropathischer Nervenwurzelschmerz). Pathophysiologisch ist von einer Kombination struktureller, biochemischer und physiologischer Veränderungen im peripheren und zentralen Nervensystem auszugehen, die als gemeinsame Endstrecke das klinische Bild der chronischen Lumboischialgie bedingt (&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquor" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8222.gif" /&gt;mixed pain&lt;img align="MIDDLE" alt="ldquo" border="0" src="http://www.springerlink.com/content/q70cdta1atn0gbab/xxlarge8220.gif" /&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Zur effektiveren Therapie und eventuell auch mit dem Ziel, eine Chronifizierung der Schmerzen zu verhindern, sollte bei der Lumboischialgie auch über eine medikamentöse Therapie mit nachweislich bei neuropathischen Schmerzen wirksamen Medikamenten diskutiert werden. Dies gilt insbesondere jedoch für bislang therapierefraktäre Patienten.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;In Kombination mit nichtsteroidalen Antiphlogistika sollten Carbamazepin, Gabapentin oder Pregabalin bzw. alternativ Amitriptylin unter Beachtung möglicher Nebenwirkungen und Kontraindikationen zuerst Verwendung finden. Sollten diese nicht die gewünschte Wirkung erzielen, können Opioide eingesetzt werden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;Zur Sicherung des konservativen medikamentösen Behandlungserfolgs ist es notwendig, durch kontrollierte Studien für jedes Medikament die Wirksamkeit in der Behandlung der neuropathischen Komponenten der Lumboischialgie zu dokumentieren.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Acknowledgments" style="margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class="FormalPara" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Interessenkonflikt:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Keine Angaben&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Bib1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Literatur&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody class="Citation" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td&gt;1.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="" name="CR1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Baron R (2000) Neuropathic pain.

Através do desenvolvimento de um programa especial, será possível a reprodução do raciocínio de grandes especialistas de uma forma artificial, compreendendo como suas mentes privilegiadas por grande experiência formam diagnósticos a partir de formas próprias de análise de problemas. É uma linha de estudo pioneira que pode gerar grande desenvolvimento da telemedicina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral, hoje, possui a maior casuística de estudos biomecânicos clínicos de nas dores e patologias da coluna vertebral, o que já rendeu artigos científicos que moldam a forma como outros especialistas atuam dentro da especialidade em nosso país. "Após participar da constatação das influências da biomecânica no desenvolvimento das hérnias de disco e desvendar a patomecânica das megapófises, partiremos, agora, para uma melhor classificação baseada em inteligência artificial nas dores comuns da coluna vertebral", afirma o Dr Henrique da Mota. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.inescporto.pt/~rsousa/docs/pubs/ANetoIBPRIA2011.pdf"&gt;Vejam artigo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911664748827616273-1955836498682378403?l=centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/feeds/1955836498682378403/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/09/universidades-da-europa-e-do-brasil.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/1955836498682378403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911664748827616273/posts/default/1955836498682378403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://centromedicodacoluna.blogspot.com/2011/09/universidades-da-europa-e-do-brasil.html' title='UNIVERSIDADES DA EUROPA E DO BRASIL ESTUDAM CASOS CLÍNICO  DO DR HENRIQUE DA MOTA PARA DESENVOLVIMENTO DE MODELOS DE INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL'/><author><name>Centro Médico da Coluna Vertebral</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05917493730631570960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TB0BHL94rQI/AAAAAAAAAAo/fxn1V4wVaFw/S220/Logo_bigger%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WmqI8wOspQM/TZJDCIWDjRI/AAAAAAAAAqI/Ey2IBCJGqCs/s72-c/HdaMotaFoto290311_1740.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911664748827616273.post-5741244703889394719</id><published>2011-09-07T11:07:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-09-07T11:07:54.561-03:00</updated><title type='text'>CONSULTÓRIO MÉDICO MODERNO: A IMPORTÂNCIA DA GESTÃO OTIMIZADA DE DADOS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6325860063591583363" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 620px;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TG6TSwCP31I/AAAAAAAAAIM/Kxt0X5NaPtA/s1600/Pag3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; color: #2288bb; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400px" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jnn5IbVA4-c/TG6TSwCP31I/AAAAAAAAAIM/Kxt0X5NaPtA/s400/Pag3.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; border-bottom: rgb(238,238,238) 1px solid; border-left: rgb(238,238,238) 1px solid; border-right: rgb(238,238,238) 1px solid; border-top: rgb(238,238,238) 1px solid; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; position: relative;" width="345px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A entrevista médica é um momento essencial de toda a conduta resolutiva de um caso clínico.

Their accomplishments form a "golden thread [that runs] throughout the history of the world, consecutive and continuous, the work of the best men in successive ages" (Moxon, quoted by William Osler). The pool of information presented in this book has been created by the scholarship of these ten men. They were physicians going about the daily practice of medicine. The story of their achievements serves to stimulate the spirit of inquiry in each of us and underscores the obligation we have to add to this pool of knowledge. This chapter traces the historical evolution of modern clinical diagnosis. Knowledge of this evolution provides the student with a foundation upon which to build mastery of the art and science of diagnosis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Seven crucial developments over the past 3000 years shaped physical diagnosis as we know it today. Hippocrates and his colleagues laid the foundations by establishing medicine as a profession and by declaring that it has a rational basis. The second development was the resumption of the dissection of human bodies for educational purposes, beginning in the thirteenth century in Italy. Vesalius was thereby able to publish an accurate human anatomy text in 1543, and Morgagni to establish morbid anatomy, or pathology, as a discipline in 1761. The third development was Sydenham's definition of disease between 1666 and 1683, leading to the nosological concept of disease. The actual beginnings of physical diagnosis occurred with the discovery of percussion by Auenbrugger in 1760, and its dissemination by Corvisart in 1808. Laennec invented the stethoscope in 1816, beginning a century of explosive development in physical diagnosis. The French School, exemplified by Pierre Louis, synthesized the previous developments and put physical diagnosis on a secure footing at the bedside and in the autopsy room during the period 1800 until 1850. The German School, epitomized by Johannes Mueller, laid the foundation for experimental laboratory science from 1830 until 1900. These six developments were applied to medical education by William Osler in the medical clinic at Johns Hopkins University in 1893, thereby revolutionizing medical education and the practice of medicine in America and the Western world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/table/A15/?report=objectonly" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);

the development of precision instruments such as the thermometer, microscope, ophthalmoscope, kymograph, and sphygmomanometer; and the discovery of the x-ray. The urban migration in Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s, coupled with the development of the French hospital system, made available to physicians a concentration of human illness never seen before. The ascendance of the German and American university had a profound influence on medicine. Once again, the genius of William Osler wove all these threads into the fabric that established clinical diagnosis and medical education as it exists today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="section" id="A16" style="border-bottom-width: 0px;

His contemporaries included Plato, Socrates, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, and Pericles. Medicine "became in his hands an art, a science, a profession" (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A93" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Major, 1954&lt;/a&gt;). The Hippocratic writings are probably a collection from a number of individuals, including the master, from the period during which he was the dominant medical figure. They were collected after the death of Hippocrates and stored in Alexandria. From there, they were disseminated to all parts of the civilized world. The surviving collection contains 42 clinical cases, the likes of which are not encountered again for 1700 years. These cases demonstrate a high level of medicine that included a careful history, inspection, palpation, direct auscultation, and examination of the sputum and urine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;An enduring contribution of the Hippocratic school was the conviction that disease is natural and not divine. Consider the remarks about epilepsy: "It is thus with regard to the disease called Sacred: It appears to me to be no wise more divine nor more sacred than other diseases, but has a natural cause from which it originates like other affections" (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A59" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Delp and Manning, 1981&lt;/a&gt;).

He supplemented his findings by speculation. His written work was accepted as the ultimate truth until the time of Vesalius.

The consensus is that human dissection was not practiced during the Hippocratic period, either because of reverence for the human body or belief in a life after death that required an intact body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Dissection for the purpose of acquiring a knowledge of the human body probably originated in Alexandria, Egypt, in the fourth century&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="small-caps" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;b.c.&lt;/span&gt;, 100 years after Hippocrates.

Galen (&lt;span class="small-caps" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;a.d.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;129–200) said Alexandria, where he had studied, was the only place where anatomy could be learned.

Several occurrences during the early thirteenth century set the stage for the lifting of the taboo against disturbing the human body. Emperor Frederic II issued an imperial decree in 1238 authorizing the performance of public "anatomes" on the bodies of executed criminals for teaching purposes. Legend has it that Frederick II also had the stomachs of two of his subjects opened in order to determine if digestion was enhanced by exercise or by rest. Another sign of the relaxation of the concept of the sanctity of the human body during the thirteenth century was the practice of dismembering the bodies of the Crusaders and boiling the parts so that the bones could be returned to their families in Europe for burial. A more specific reason for the resumption of human dissection probably had to do with the legal scholars at the University of Bologna, which was famous for its law school. The scholars were concerned to know the causes of deaths for legal reasons.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Mondino of Bologna (&lt;i&gt;ca&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;1270–1326) was the predecessor of Vesalius in the founding of anatomy. In 1316 he wrote his&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Anothomia,&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;the first text exclusively on anatomy. It was based on his own dissection of humans. This book was published at Padua in 1487 and went through 39 separate editions and translations. It was an unillustrated manual or handbook of dissection and not a formal anatomic text. His method was to begin with the abdominal viscera, then go to the chest and neck. The book ends with the opening of the skull. The manual was a student favorite and was widely used. Mondino's anatomic work was continued by his students, and dissection became more popular. A public dissection occurred at Padua in 1341. Public dissections were decreed at the University of Montpelier in 1366, at Venice in 1368, and at Florence in 1388. In Padua an anatomic theater was erected in 1445. These events set the stage for Vesalius in the sixteenth century.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Vesalius was born in Brussels in 1514–1515, the son of a Flemish family that had been in medicine for many generations. He was said to be interested in anatomy even as a youth, dissecting mice, rats, dogs, and cats. He studied anatomy in Paris under Sylvius, a famous scholar who declared Galen was infallible. In 1537 he went to Padua, where he received his medical degree. For the next 5 years he worked prodigiously as professor of medicine and surgery, breaking tradition by personally performing all the dissections. At the end of these 5 years, he published his&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Fabrica.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;He was 28.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.3846em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 1.3846em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; quotes: ''; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Fabrica&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;was sumptuously illustrated by Titian's pupil Jan Kalkar, who was the first to attain what Choulant calls the true anatomic norm, that is, a picture at once scientifically exact and artistically beautiful, summing up, as in a composite photograph, the innumerable peculiarities and minor variations in structures encountered in dissection. The splendid wood-cuts representing majestic skeletons and flagged figures, dwarfing a background of landscape, set the fashion for over a century and were copied and imitated by a long line of anatomic illustrators. … (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A67" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Garrison, 1929&lt;/a&gt;, p. 219)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Vesalius provided the accurate anatomic base upon which physical diagnosis could be built.

The historic development of nosology was fundamental to the evolution of diagnosis. A concept essential to modern medicine is that a particular disease can cause manifestations that can be quite different from one individual to another. The definition of what constitutes a disease began with Thomas Sydenham in seventeenth-century England. Sydenham (1624–1689) was born at Wynford Eagle in Dorset. He obtained his bachelor of medicine from Oxford in 1648. He was a captain in the cavalry during Oliver Cromwell's campaign in Scotland against Charles II. When the Restoration came in 1660 and Charles II became king, Sydenham had no political future "and he had no resource other than a serious devotion to the practice of medicine, an event with important benefits to all succeeding generations of physicians" (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A71" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Harvey, 1973&lt;/a&gt;). He began practicing medicine in London in 1663, after having a lot of trouble passing the examination of the Royal College of Physicians.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The London of Sydenham's day was notable for the occurrence of one murderous epidemic after another (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A64" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Faber, 1923&lt;/a&gt;). An epidemic of an acute infectious disease such as smallpox or cholera, which struck thousands suddenly and left just as swiftly, provided the ideal setting for the development of modern nosologic concepts: a great many previously healthy individuals were suddenly afflicted by what was clearly the same illness, which at the same time varied in its manifestations from one person to another. An idea of the magnitude of these epidemics can be gotten from population estimates: in 1665 the plague killed about 100,000 of 600,000 inhabitants. The plague stopped by 1667, but in that year smallpox killed 1300, cholera 2000, phthisis 3000, and only 1000 died of old age (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A64" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Faber, 1923&lt;/a&gt;).

Thus, for instance, whoever describes a violet exactly as to its colour, taste, smell, form, and other properties, will find the description agrees in most particulars, with all the violets in the universe.

His most prominent work is&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Tractatus de Podagra et Hydrope&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;1683. In it he separated gout (from which he suffered) from the entities that had been called rheumatism. Sydenham stressed personal independent observation. He "first gave clinical observation its place of honor as a scientific method—one which for those who cultivate it effectively is still today a basic asset of the complete physician" (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A71" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Harvey, 1973&lt;/a&gt;, p. 124).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The next physician interested in the classification of diseases was Sauvages. In 1731 he published a book in which he grouped diseases in classes, orders, and genera, just as the biologists were doing with plants and animals. This book came to the attention of Linnaeus, who published his&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Systema Naturae&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1735. The two men carried on a lifelong correspondence. Sauvages published his principal work in 1763,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Nosologia methodica sistens moborum classes, genera et species.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;He described 2400 diseases, divided into 10 classes and 40 orders. In the preface he discussed principles for classifying disease, choosing symptoms as the basis for his scheme. This led to many difficulties, given the nature of medical knowledge at the time. There were 18 kinds of angina, 19 types of asthma, 19 species of dysphagia, 13 different species of anorexia, etc. This work had much influence upon contemporary medicine; detailed nosologies following his system appeared in various countries. These nosologies, however, did not appreciably influence the practice of medicine. The differences between the nosologists of the eighteenth century and Sydenham is that they merely catalogued and arranged symptoms, while he characterized diseases. Sydenham delineated each disease by its manifestations and clinical course. Succeeding nosologists classified symptoms. The distinction between symptom and disease was not appreciated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The next advance was the development of the discipline of pathologic anatomy by Morgagni, which is described below. Morgagni established the concept of whole organs being diseased. Philippe Pinel of Paris published his&lt;i&gt;Nosologie philosophique&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1798. This book stressed the importance of arriving at the typical picture of a disease, ignoring the varying picture in each individual patient. He characterized 2700 diseases and divided them into classes, orders, genera, and species. He grouped diseases that involved a particular tissue together, such as all diseases of the mucous membranes. This was an entirely new concept. Previous authors had arranged disorders according to anatomic location: heart, lungs, etc. Bichat expanded upon this idea and showed how disease of each type of tissue could give rise to two different kinds of symptoms. One group of symptoms is dependent upon the particular tissue involved, and the other group is caused by dysfunction of the affected organ. Laennec, who was greatly influenced by Bichat, produced a revolution in nosography with the publication of his book on auscultation (see below). Laennec wove symptoms, signs, and pathologic findings into a series of classic diseases, many of which he was the first to describe: emphysema, bronchiectasis, pneumothorax. His great achievement was to take many different conditions grouped under the name phthisis and show that they were all different stages of one disease, tuberculosis. He "demonstrated that the process usually begins in the apex of the lung, and that various anatomical changes may be demonstrated by means of stethoscopy, and finally he conceived and described tuberculosis of the lungs as a special disease differing from all other disease processes" (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A64" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Faber 1923&lt;/a&gt;).

The first known forensic autopsy was done in 1302 in Bologna, which is also where Mondino started descriptive anatomy (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A86" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Klemperer, 1957&lt;/a&gt;). The body of an individual named Azzolino was examined because the authorities felt his death was suspicious. "Visceral congestion" was found, and the authorities investigated no further. The great descriptive anatomists of the time all were quite interested in morbid anatomy. The bodies of executed criminals were dissected for teaching purposes (&lt;i&gt;anatomia publica&lt;/i&gt;), and the bodies of individuals who died of disease were also examined (&lt;i&gt;anatomia privata&lt;/i&gt;). Vesalius inquired carefully into the history of the bodies he dissected, and planned to publish his records, but apparently they were lost or destroyed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Many of the great physicians and anatomists of the 1500s and early 1600s strongly advocated autopsies as a means of furthering clinical medicine. Johannes Schenck von Grafenberg (1534–1576) collected pathologic reports of preceding years, as well as his own experiences, into seven volumes. His book had a classified index and a collection of aphorisms designed to arouse interest in pathology. Wilhelm Fabry von Hilden, a physician in Bern, wrote a book in which he called attention to what had been learned from autopsies. He noted Germany was behind France and Italy in medicine because fewer autopsies were performed in Germany. The public apparently was willing to support autopsies, and, in fact, often requested that they be done on relatives in order to determine the cause of death. The situation in the British colonies of North America mirrored that of Europe. Cotton Mather in Boston described congenital rectal atresia in an autopsy done on his own son. In Copenhagen, Bartholin was given permission by the authorities to perform autopsies on patients who died in the public hospitals. Bartholin gave in detail methods by which permission for autopsies could be obtained as well as other techniques for gaining the information: looking through a previously existing surgical incision; inspecting bodies while they were being embalmed. He recommended that deception could be used, but he advocated caution and tact (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A86" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Klemperer, 1957&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Theophil Bonetus (1618–1689) was Morgagni's predecessor as the founder of pathologic anatomy. He was a physician who gave up practice in Geneva at the age of 50 because of deafness, and spent the rest of his life writing medical books. He collected 3000 cases and published in 1679 the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Sepulchretum.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;The full title reads as follows: "Repository of anatomy practiced on corpses deceased of disease, which reports the histories and observations of all alterations of the human body and reveals the hidden causes. Indeed, anatomy deserves to be called the foundation of real pathology and of proper treatment of disease, even the inspiration of old and recent medicine." The book was designed to contain each recognizable disease known up to that time, with a description of the clinical features followed by the autopsy findings. This book was highly influential and gave great impetus to pathologic anatomy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Lancisi of Rome made important contributions to pathology with the publication of&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;De Subitaneis Mortibus&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1707. His book contained autopsies on the cases of sudden death in Rome in 1706. The stimulus for his work was the panic of the Roman populace over the large number of sudden deaths in that year. The clinical and anatomic descriptions are detailed, with every effort made to correlate the two. The observations were precise—for example, exact measurements of body organs were given. The causes of unexpected death included cerebral hemorrhage and hypertrophied hearts; valvular vegetations were described clearly. Lancisi's book illustrates the trend toward making clinicoanatomic correlations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Hermann Boerhaave (1668–1738) of Leyden was largely responsible for correlating autopsy results with what was found at the bedside. He was one of the great consulting clinicians of his time—his reputation extended even to China, and he was regularly consulted by emperors. Students from all of Europe sought his teaching and in turn became the leading physicians of the eighteenth century. Bedside teaching of clinical medicine had begun at Padua, and was brought to Leyden by Heurnius. Boerhaave made bedside teaching an art form. He was given two wards in an old hospital for the purpose of teaching students, one with six beds for men and the other with six beds for women. "On twelve beds half the physicians of Europe were trained!" (Sigerist, 1951). Boerhaave made daily rounds with his students, reviewing the history, inspecting the patient, examining the urine. The patient was not examined to any extent, since percussion and auscultation had not been discovered. Boerhaave made his students attend the autopsy on each patient who died. He felt postmortem examinations were essential: "In spite of the most detailed description of all disease phenomena one does not know anything of the cause until one has opened the body." He continues (in his introduction to one of his books) to say he will try to give an accurate picture of his observations in order that in subsequent similar cases the disease can be diagnosed early and cured.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Giovanni Battista Morgagni established pathology as it is known today with the publication of his monumental work&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;De sedibus et causis morborum&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(The Seats and Causes of Diseases) in 1761. Morgagni was born in 1682 and received his medical degree from Bologna. In 1715, on the recommendation of Lancisi, he was appointed professor of anatomy at Padua, filling the chair held previously by Vesalius. He became a popular teacher, with many foreign students coming to Padua just to attend his lectures. His fame as a scholar and pathologist was such that Samuel Johnson, upon being asked by Boswell if he believed the tale that a scorpion surrounded by a ring of fire will withdraw to the center and commit suicide, answered: "I will believe it if the autopsy was performed by Dr. Morgagni" (&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458/#A86" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2f4a8b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Klemperer, 1957&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;He started out to write&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;De sedibus&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;in order to update Bonet's&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Sepulchretum,&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;correct it, and add to it his own material.

Many authors previously had recorded the results of autopsy findings in an attempt to explain the cause of death. But here, for the first time we find a vast array of pathological findings, well arranged and indexed, each preceded by a minute history of the disease, the symptoms present, the treatment employed, and finally a discussion of the relationship between the clinical picture and the autopsy findings. Morgagni's knowledge of the literature of the subject is apparent on every page, where he discusses previous articles on the subject and meticulously gives each author due credit for his own observations. He often begins with Aristotle and reviews the entire literature down to his own time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.6923em; margin-top: 0.6923em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The number of pathological states described by Morgagni, many of them for the first time, is enormous.
