Alterations in functional connectivity are associated with white matter lesions...
Soares, José Miguel Montenegro; Conde, Raquel; Magalhães, Ricardo José Silva; Marques, Paulo César Gonçalves; Magalhaes, Rosana; Gomes, LucianaFunctional connectivity (FC) is typically altered in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients, the relationship between brain FC, tissue integrity and cognitive impairment is still unclear as contradictory findings have been documented. In this exploratory study we compared both the whole brain connectome and resting state networks (RSNs) FC of...
Brain metastases from breast cancer
Santos, Joana; Arantes, Joana; Carneiro, Eduarda; Ferreira, Diana; Silva, Susana Maria; Sousa, Susana Palma de; Arantes, MavildeBackground: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the commonest causes of brain metastases (BM): approximately 10-16 % of patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer will eventually develop BM during the course of their disease, however, certain subtypes have a higher risk of this event. The aim of this analysis was therefore to evaluate the prognosis and the pattern and imaging features of BM according to differen...
Differences in the Students’ Perceptions on the Teaching of Neuroanatomy in a M...
Arantes, Mavilde; Barbosa, Joselina; Ferreira, Maria AméliaIntroduction: On the subject of curriculum reform, most European medical schools are moving away from an educational approach consisting of discipline-based courses to an integrated curriculum. The aim of this study was to compare, in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto, Portugal, the teaching of neuroanatomy in a medical curriculum organized by disciplines and in an integrated medical curriculum...
Cognitive rehabilitation in a visual variant of Alzheimer's disease
Alves, Jorge; Magalhães, Rosana; Arantes, Mavilde; Cruz, Sara; Gonçalves, Óscar F.; Sampaio, AdrianaAlzheimer's disease (AD) is commonly associated with marked memory deficits; however, nonamnestic variants have been consistently described as well. Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a progressive degenerative condition in which posterior regions of the brain are predominantly affected, therefore resulting in a pattern of distinctive and marked visuospatial symptoms, such as apraxia, alexia, and spatial negle...
Domain-specific and generalization effects of cognitive intervention in diffuse...
Alves, Jorge; Magalhães, Rosana; Castiajo, Paula; Sampaio, Adriana; Gonçalves, Óscar F.; Arantes, MavildeThe neurobehavioral sequelae of traumatic brain injury significantly contribute to the longterm disability associated with this pathology.1 Thus far, there is insufficient evidence for either domainspecific or generalization effects resulting from cognitive intervention in memory, executive functioning, or speed-of-processing domains. Here, we report on the case of an adolescent patient who reduced the aforemen...
Gorlin-Goltz syndrome: review of the neuroradiological and maxillofacial featur...
Safronova, Marta Maia; Arantes, Mavilde; Lima, Iva; Domingues, Sara; Almeida, Marta; Moniz, PedroGorlin-Goltz syndrome or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a rare hereditary autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas in young patients, odontogenic keratocysts, palmar or plantar pits, calcification of the falx cerebri and skeletal malformations. This syndrome is due to mutations in PTCH1 (patched homolog 1 da Drosophila), a tumor suppressor gene. Diagnostic criteria we...
