Early Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Detected by Two-Dimensional Speckle...
Liberato, Christiane Bezerra Rocha; Olegario, Natália Bitar da Cunha; Fernandes, Virginia Oliveira; Montenegro, Ana Paula Dias RangelPurpose: Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the absence of functional adipocytes resulting in ectopic lipid storage, metabolic disorders and early cardiovascular disease. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking (2D-STE) allows the detection of early abnormalities in myocardial function. We aimed to evaluate myocardial deformation in a large sample of CGL ...

Tumores testiculares bilaterais por hiperplasia congênita de restos adrenais

Their histological differentiation from Leydig-cell tumors is quite difficult, which would lead to inappropriate orchiectomies. Thus the objective of this report was to present this diagnostic dilemma. Methods: Rep...
