A pandemia do COVID-19, deflagrada no início de 2020, foi acompanhada por rápida disseminação, taxas de mortalidade sem barreiras sociais e uma corrida científica sem precedentes.Neste cenário mundial o Brasil tem lugar de destaque, pois é o 11º país que mais produziu artigos sobre o assunto. Este e-book tenho o objetivo de expor as pesquisas epidemiológicas, revisões científicas, estudos experimentais pré-clínicos, observacionais e clínicos sobre o assunto COVID-19 -O VÍRUS QUE MOVIMENTOU A CIÊNCIA.Esperamos que tenha uma leitura agradável e possa desfrutar ao máximo o conhecimento transmitido por nossos autores.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a major problem of public health worldwide since 2020. The virus that first started causing pneumonia in Wuhan, China, has spread throughout all six continents and is now also known for causing other health issues, including neurological infection. In the last months, there were many case reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, raising concerns over a possible association. The coronavirus infiltrated in neuronal tissue is able to modify the pathophysiology of GBS, that is a polyneuropathy and also an autoimmune disease, commonly triggered by infections of the human body. Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) is one of the most common types of demyelinating polyneuropathy, causing loss of the myelin sheath, what makes electrical messages cannot travel between the brain and the periphery of the body. This association must be early diagnosed so that the physician can manage it to avoid respiratory depression and other consequences of the condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
