Radiologically Isolated Syndrome in Pediatric Age: The Ideal Clinical Model for...
Silva, Joana; Faustino, Ricardo; Palavra, FilipeRadiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) is a condition in which imagiological findings suggestive of demyelination, specifically multiple sclerosis, are seen in neurologically asymptomatic individuals. Hence, RIS is usually referred to as a pre-symptomatic stage of multiple sclerosis, making it an interesting research object, with the goal of modifying the risk of subsequent evolution to that demyelinating disea...
Clinical predictors of NEDA-3 one year after diagnosis of pediatric multiple sc...
Palavra, Filipe; Silva, Diogo; Fernandes, Catarina; Faustino, Ricardo; Vasconcelos, Mónica; Pereira, Cristina; Costa, Carmen; Ribeiro, Joana AfonsoIntroduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of central nervous system that can be diagnosed in pediatric age (<18 years) in 3–5% of the cases. This early onset is associated with higher relapse rates and earlier progression to neurological disability. By using NEDA-3 (No Evidence of Disease Activity-3) criteria, we aimed to identify clinical predictors associated with abs...
Inflammatory Activity and Treatment Response in Pediatric Compared to Adult Mul...
de Carvalho, Sara; Pinto, Joana; Correia, Inês; Faustino, Ricardo; Vasconcelos, Mónica; Sousa, Lívia; Palavra, FilipeIntroduction: Pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis may contrast with adult-onset multiple sclerosis, in terms of disease activity. We aimed to determine differentiating features between pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis and adult-onset multiple sclerosis, at diagnosis and after one year under disease modifying therapies, and analyse the attainment of the status of “No Evidence of Disease Activity” between groups...
Twenty Years Later: A New Case Of Endolymphatic Tube Infection, Internal Otitis...
Pereira, Nuno; Faustino, Ricardo; Faísca, Pedro; Veríssimo, Cristina; David, Hugo; Núria, BaylinaFusarium solani infections in elasmobranchs are described mainly with skin, lateral line, skeletal muscle, and cartilage involvement. We described F. solani cases with head subcutaneous abscess of the endolymphatic tubes, labyrinthitis and meningitis in 4 Port Jackson sharks, occurring c. twenty years ago.4 Last year, we had a new case with a similar clinical and histopathology presentation.
