    Title translation Análise da mortalidade relacionada ao acidente vascular cerebral no estado do Paraná, Brasil, ao longo de 10 anos.
    Abstract Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability around the world.
    Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the age- and sex-specific mortality rates related to stroke in the state of Paraná, Brazil, between 2007 and 2016.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, residents in the state of Paraná were selected by death certificates (from 2007-2016); the basic cause of death was stroke. A descriptive analysis was performed, and mortality rates were calculated with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for each year.
    Results: From 2007 to 2016, there were 62,607 deaths in the state of Paraná due to stroke. Most individuals had medical assistance before death (85.7% in 2007 versus 83.9% in 2016), and most of these deaths occurred in hospitals (73.6% in 2007 versus 74.8% in 2016). Death rates due to stroke increased from 138 (95% CI 135-142) to 163 (95% CI 159-166) per 100,000 inhabitants. This raise occurred mainly in those over 79 years old. For the ages groups of 34 to 44 and 44 to 54 years, mortality rate decreased.
    Conclusions: In the past 15 years, despite the advances in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke, there has been an increase in mortality due to stroke in the state of Paraná. This fact is possibly associated with the aging of the population because there was a more pronounced increase in the group over 79 years old. Thus, new health strategies are necessary to improve the survival and quality of life of poststroke individuals.

    Abstract Although enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has shown benefit in improving cardiac systolic function in a murine model of cardiomyopathy associated with Hunter syndrome, few studies have analyzed its effect in humans. We evaluated the effect of ERT on patients with Hunter syndrome-related cardiomyopathy. We performed a retrospective analysis of serial transthoracic echocardiograms performed before and over the first 5 years after treatment initiation, in 14 patients with Hunter syndrome. An important cardiac remodeling occurred in all patients in this study. There was a significant reduction in left ventricular mass index from 70.88 to 26.75 g/m

    Abstract Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a common finding in patients with Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophies. Novel echocardiographic techniques have been used for the detection of LVSD in several heart diseases. We aim to compare cardiac anatomic and functional data studied by three-dimensional (3DE) and two-dimensional (2DE) echocardiography and to analyze the myocardial strain for the detection of early LVSD in DMD and BMD patients. We performed a cross-sectional study of 46 DMD and 14 BMD patients. We measured left atrium volume and left ventricle volumes and ejection fraction using 3DE and 2DE techniques. Myocardial strain analysis was derived from global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurements. GLS was measured by 2DE with the speckle tracking technique. The correlation between 3DE and 2DE for the measurement of left atrium volume as well as left ventricle diastolic and systolic volumes was strong. 2DE presented larger left atrium and left ventricle volumes. Left ventricle ejection fraction was similar between the two techniques. Myocardial strain analysis was able to detect early LVSD in 50.0% of DMD patients and in 9.1% of BMD patients. In conclusion, two-dimensional echocardiography appears to be a good alternative for the anatomical and functional evaluation of the left heart chambers in DMD and BMD patients. Myocardial strain analysis detects early LVSD in a sizable portion of patients with dystrophinopathies.

    Abstract Introduction: Early detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is important for therapeutic strategies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. We analyzed myocardial strain using echocardiography for early detection of LVSD and determined the predictors of early LVSD.
    Methods: This investigation was a cross-sectional study of 40 DMD patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was used to analyze subtle disturbances in longitudinal contraction of the myocardium. Patients were determined to have early LVSD (GLS > -18) or normal left ventricular systolic function (GLS ≤ -18).
    Results: Patients who had early LVSD were older and had a higher frequency of corticosteroid therapy and of mutations in exons 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 52.
    Discussion: Myocardial strain measurements are useful for the early diagnosis of LVSD in DMD patients. Older age, use of corticosteroids, and mutations within the "hot-spot" region of the DMD gene are associated with early LVSD. Muscle Nerve, 2018.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the prevalence of smoking and the frequency of smoking cessation counseling among patients at a university hospital, as well as to compare smokers and former smokers in terms of smoking history.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 629 patients at the Federal University of Paraná Hospital de Clínicas, located in the city of Curitiba, Brazil.
    Results: Of the 629 patients, 206 (32.7%) were male, 76 (12.1%) were smokers, 179 (28.5%) were former smokers, and 374 (59.5%) were nonsmokers. The mean age of the patients was 49.9 ± 15.0 years (range, 18-84 years). Of the 76 smokers and 179 former smokers, 72 (94.7%) and 166 (92.7%), respectively, were questioned about tobacco use. Smoking history and degree of nicotine dependence were higher among the former smokers (p = 0.0292 and p = 0.0125, respectively). Gender, age at smoking initiation, physician inquiry about tobacco use, and smoking cessation counseling were comparable between the two groups. The smoking cessation rate was 0.70. The prevalence of heavy smoking varied by gender and by age bracket, being higher in males and in the 41-70 year age bracket.
    Conclusions: The smoking prevalence in this group of patients was lower than that reported for patients at another university hospital, for adults in Curitiba, and for adults in Brazil. The smoking cessation rate was higher in these patients than in the general population of Curitiba. Smokers and former smokers differed regarding age, smoking history, and degree of nicotine dependence. Heavy smoking and a moderate or high degree of nicotine dependence were not obstacles to smoking cessation.

    Abstract Objective: Headache is a common condition not always managed satisfactorily by primary care providers (PCPs). In an effort to improve headache care, the Curitiba City Hall in consortia with Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná - Brazil developed an educational program directed to the PCPs. The goal of the project was to evaluate, to update and to train the PCP on headache knowledge and care.
    Method: The program was designed to have a theoretical phase and a practical phase. Knowledge on headache and medical care of headache were surveyed before and after the theoretical phase thorough a specific questionnaire.
    Results: Significant improvement in post-CME scores on headache prevalence (p<0.001), migraine diagnosis (p<0.001) and management (p=0.01), secondary headache diagnosis (p=0.005) and management (p=0.005) was reached by the respondents.
    Conclusion: Improvement in post-CME scores confirms that the program had a significant immediate impact on the PCPs knowledge directly affecting the patient's health.
