RESUMEN
The objective of this study was to evaluate, in patients with migraine and healthy volunteers, with and without a history of motion sickness, the degree of discomfort elicited by drifting striped patterns. Eighteen healthy volunteers (HV) and 30 migraine patients participated in the study. Discomfort was greater in migraine patients than in HV, and in individuals with a history of motion sickness than in those without, but the effect of history of migraine was independent of history of motion sickness. Generalized Estimating Equations models for binary correlated data revealed that these differences did not depend on levels of duty cycle, spatial and temporal frequencies. Visual discomfort in migraine patients was associated with worse performance. There was a significant correlation between median degree of discomfort across conditions and number of migraine attacks in the past month. Discomfort to drifting striped patterns may be related to central sensitization in migraine patients.

A Leucemia Linfoide Aguda (LLA) e uma doenca caracterizada pelo acumulo de linfoblastos em numerosos orgaos e tecidos, notadamente na medula ossea. Entretanto as celulas malignas da LLA tem uma predisposicao de infiltrar o Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC) e os testiculos, sendo estes, considerados ¡°santuarios¡±. A importancia ao diagnostico da avaliacao citologica do liquido cefalorraqueano(Liquor) tornou-se fundamental para adequacao do tratamento, prognostico e para o monitoramento de eventuais recaidas. Citologicamente pode-se determinar um ¡°STATUS¡±, sendo que a avaliacao mais aceita atualmente ao diagnostico deve seguir os seguintes criterios: Status 1: puncao nao traumatica com ausencia de blastos apos citocentrifugacao. Status 2: puncao nao traumatica com presenca de blastos apos citocentrifugacao e leucocitos ¡Ü5/mm3. Status 3: puncao nao traumatica com presenca de blastosapos citocentrifugacao e leucocitos ¡Ý5/mm3 . A puncao traumatica deve ser classificada como risco, pois pode haver a infiltracao na hora da puncao. O objetivo deste trabalho e definir criteriosamente a importancia da atuacao do Farmaceutico Bioquimico no Laboratorio de Liquor auxiliando o clinico na avaliacao de conduta terapeutica baseado na avaliacao citologica do liquido cefalorraqueano.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is an illness characterized for the accumulation of blasts in numerous organ and tissue, essential in the blone marrow. However the malignant cells of the ALL have a predisposition to infiltrate central nervous system(CNS) and the testicules, being been these, considered "sanctuaries". The importance to the diagnosis of the cytological evaluation of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), became basic for adequacy of the treatment, prognostic and for the involvement of eventual fallen again. Cytologically a "STATUS" can be determined, being most accepted currently to the diagnosis must follow the following criteria:CNS1 (puncture nontraumatic without leukemic blasts after ytocentrifugation), CNS2 (puncture nontraumatic, ¡Ü5 WBC/mm3 CSF with identifiable blasts after cytocentrifugation), CNS3 (puncture nontraumatic, ¡Ý5 WBC/mm3 CSF with identifiable blasts aftercytocentrifugation). TLP(+) ¨C puncture traumatic with blasts, and TLP(-) ¨C puncture traumatic without blasts. The traumatic puncture must be classified as risk therefore it can have infiltration in the hour puncture. The objective of this work is reintensification to define the importance of the performance of the Pharmaceutical Biochemist in the Cerebrospinal Fluid Laboratory assisting the physician in the based evaluation of therapeutical behavior in the cytological evaluation of the Cerebrospinal Fluid.
