Abstract Background and purpose The insular cortex serves a wide variety of functions in humans, ranging from sensory and affective processing to high-level cognition. Hence, insular dysfunction may result in several different presentations. Ischemic strokes limited to the insular territory are rare and deserve a better characterization, to be quickly recognized and to receive the appropriate treatment (e.g. thrombolysis). Methods We reviewed studies on patients with a first-ever acute stroke restricted to the insula. We searched in the Medline database the keywords “insular stroke” and “insular infarction”, to identify previously published cases. Afterwards, the results were divided depending on the specific insular region affected by the stroke: anterior insular cortex (AIC), posterior insular cortex (PIC) or total insula cortex (TIC). Finally, a review of the clinical correlates associated with each region was performed. Results We identified 25 reports including a total of 49 patients (59.7 ± 15.5 years, 48% male) from systematic review of the literature. The most common clinical phenotypes were motor and somatosensory deficits, dysarthria, aphasia and a vestibular-like syndrome. Atypical presentations were also common and included dysphagia, awareness deficits, gustatory disturbances, dysautonomia, neuropsychiatric or auditory disturbances and headache. Conclusions The clinical presentation of insular strokes is heterogeneous; however, an insular stroke should be suspected when vestibular-like, somatosensory, speech or language disturbances are combined in the same patient. Further studies are needed to improve our understanding of more atypical presentations.

The Marambaia is an important natural refuge for preserving the genetic heritage of several rain forest plant species. In this insular region, where the vegetation types are Lower Montane Rain Forest and restingas (sandy coastal plain habitat), the impressive diversity of Melastomataceae consists of seven genera and 25 species of which 13 represent new records for the area. Miconia is best represented with 10 species, followed by Tibouchina (6 spp.), Leandra (4 spp.), Clidemia (2 spp.) and Huberia, Marcetia and Ossaea (1 sp. each). Most of the species are shrubs or trees and occur in Dense Submontane Ombrophilous Forest. Huberia ovalifolia DC., Leandra acutiflora (Naudin) Cogn. and Leandra melastomoides Raddi are cited in the list of endangered species for the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. An identification key is provided as well as descriptions, illustrations, comments on morphological peculiarities of species, and geographical and phenological data.

Analisam-se as possibilidades de inclusão da comunidade em uma proposta de turismo de base comunitária na ilha de Jutuba – Belém, Pará. Nela, a participação dos atores sociais na utilização dos espaços, no planejamento e execução da atividade turística, para desenvolver o turismo na região insular de Belém torna-se fundamental. Sua participação objetiva-se proporcionar e incentivar o envolvimento da comunidade na elaboração das atividades a serem desenvolvidas. A escolha do objeto de estudo foi fundamentada na necessidade de se priorizar o planejamento turístico ordenado, dada a vocação natural da Amazônia. O método dialético foi escolhido por ser o que penetra no mundo dos fenômenos através de uma ação recíproca, da contradição inerente ao fenômeno e da mudança dialética que ocorre na natureza e na sociedade. Após este levantamento buscou-se propor alternativas de inserção da comunidade por meio da gestão do turismo de base comunitária visando o ordenamento da atividade que proporcionará a geração de benefícios econômicos e a inclusão social aos moradores da ilha. Community-based tourism: study of the relationship of local actors with the policies involved in the insular region of Belém (PA, Brazil) ABSTRACT There were analyzed the possibilities of including of a community on a proposal for community-based tourism in Jutuba island – Belém, Pará. Here, the participation of social actors in the use of space, in the planning and in the implementation of tourism activity to develop it in the island regional of Belém become essential. Its participation aims to provide and encourage community involvement in the preparing of activities to be developed. The choice of object of study was based on the need to prioritize the tourism planning, given the natural condition of Amazon region. The dialectical method was chosen because it enters the world of phenomena through a reciprocal action, its inherent contradiction in the phenomenon and dialectical chance that occurs in nature and society. Following this survey, there were proposed alternatives to include the community through the community-based tourism management, aiming the development tourism activity, which will provide economic benefits and social inclusion of the residents.

AbstractTwo patients with insular and striatal postnatal scar had epileptic spasms (ES) that were asymmetrical and the only seizure type, whereas none of the usual ictal symptoms of insular seizures occurred. Ictal electroencephalography (EEG) showed the high-amplitude slow-wave characteristic of ES. Vigabatrin remained efficient for over 4 years for one patient and right into the third decade for the other one. Such ES are distinct from infantile and late onset spasms. Furthermore, these observations suggest that in ES insular epilepsy triggers paroxysmal activation of the striatum, and that vigabatrin inhibits the striatal startle motor program, thus interrupting the corticostriatal loop.

OBJECT Little attention has been given to the functional challenges of the insular approach to the resection of gliomas, despite the potential damage of essential neural networks that underlie the insula. The object of this study is to analyze the subcortical anatomy of the insular region when infiltrated by gliomas, and compare it with the normal anatomy in nontumoral hemispheres. METHODS Ten postmortem human hemispheres were dissected, with isolation of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) and the uncinate fasciculus. Probabilistic diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography was used to analyze the subcortical anatomy of the insular region in 10 healthy volunteers and in 22 patients with insular Grade II and Grade III gliomas. The subcortical anatomy of the insular region in these 22 insular gliomas was compared with the normal anatomy in 20 nontumoral hemispheres. RESULTS In tumoral hemispheres, the distances between the peri-insular sulci and the lateral surface of the IFOF and uncinate fasciculus were enlarged (p < 0.05). Also in tumoral hemispheres, the IFOF was identified in 10 (90.9%) of 11 patients with an extent of resection less than 80%, and in 4 (36.4%) of 11 patients with an extent of resection equal to or greater than 80% (multivariate analysis: p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Insular gliomas grow in the space between the lateral surface of the IFOF and uncinate fasciculus and the insular surface, displacing and compressing the tracts medially. Moreover, these tracts may be completely infiltrated by the tumor, with a total disruption of the bundles. In the current study, the identification of the IFOF with DTI tractography was significantly associated with the extent of tumor resection. If the IFOF is not identified preoperatively, there is a high probability of achieving a resection greater than 80%.
