Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects upper and lower motor neurons. SOD1 mutations are the second most commonly found in familial and sporadic cases. We describe a patient with a homozygous pathogenic mutation in SOD1 gene that presented with a progressive cerebellar ataxia and ultimately developed a complex phenotype of cerebellar ataxia and motor neuron disease. The...
Due to the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, educational institutions are immediately faced with a new challenge to adapt, forcing the transition from face-to-face teaching to distance learning in a short period. Distance education supported by technology is a challenge for educational institutions based on binomial technology/teaching. This paper presents a proposal for an e-learning technology structure, supported by a cl...
This study aims to investigate if education (as a cognitive reserve proxy) modifies the profile of cognitive performance. We hypothesize that participants with higher education can remain functional (due to a better executive performance), despite a more severe memory impairment, compared with lower education individuals. One hundred and sixty-six mild cognitive impairment (MCI) individuals with at least one co...
