To quantify the additional detection yield of the 25-channel electrodearray recommended by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology(IFCN), which includes six inferior-temporal electrodes beyond the conventional 10–20 International System (IS) in identifying interictal epileptiform discharges(IEDs) and focal slow activity (SA). We analyzed 258 consecutive adult EEGs (routine or sleep-deprived; me...
We thank Dr. Kleine for his thoughtful letter regarding our study and for highlighting both the anatomical rationale and the recognized clinical relevance of inferior-temporal electrodes. We welcome the opportunity to clarify specific numerical points and to provide the inter-reviewer agreement data he requested. Our study was intentionally designed as a prospective, blinded, within-subject technical validation...
Sleep is vital for health. It has regenerative and protective functions. Its disruption reduces the quality of life and increases susceptibility to disease. During sleep, there is a cyclicity of distinct phases that are studied for clinical purposes using polysomnography (PSG), a costly and technically demanding method that compromises the quality of natural sleep. The search for simpler devices for recording b...

Introdução: O eletroencefalograma constitui a técnica gold-standard para avaliar a atividade cortical epileptógenea. No entanto, a sua sensibilidade revela-se baixa nas modalidades de registo de curta duração, sendo que, neste contexto, a utilização do EEG Ambulatório de 24 horas (EEGa) veio permitir uma maior capacidade diagnóstica, enquanto registo prolongado, a custos controlados. Objetivo: Analisar o impact...
Introdução: A diabetes mellitus apresenta diferentes complicações micro e macrovasculares, sendo também um fator de risco para diversas complicações orais. O objetivo do presente estudo é estabelecer uma relação entre a cárie dentária em doentes com diabetes mellitus do tipo 1 tratados com múltiplas injeções de insulina e em indivíduos sem diabetes. É ainda objetivo caracterizar os hábitos de higiene oral desta...
Introduction: In addition to macro and microvascular complications that are associated with the disease, hyperglycaemia is also a risk factor for several oral complications. The aim of this study is to establish a relationship between dental caries in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with multiple insulin injections and that of individuals without diabetes. It is also an aim to characterize the or...
O espermatozóide de Crenicara punctulatum foi analisado em microscopia óptica e microscopia eletrônica. O espermatozóide não apresenta acrossomo, a cabeça é de aspecto ovóide, e a região da peça intermediária é de forma cilíndrica. O complexo centriolar está localizado lateralmente ao núcleo. O flagelo consiste de nove pares periféricos de microtúbulos e um par central.
Introdução: A diabetes mellitus tipo 1 e a saúde oral relacionam-se de forma estrita e recíproca, reconhecendo-se nos pacientes diabéticos uma maior suscetibilidade a uma grande variedade de patologias orais. O objetivo do presente estudo consistiu em investigar a relação entre a prevalência da cárie dentária em indivíduos diabéticos tipo 1 tratados com bomba infusora de insulina e a de indivíduos não diabético...
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus and oral health are strictly related on a reciprocal basis, and an increased susceptibility to a wide variety of oral diseases is recognised in these patients. The aim of the present study was to establish a relationship between the prevalence of dental caries in Type 1 diabetic patients treated with insulin pump and that of non-diabetic patients.Material and Methods: An o...
