As doenças mitocondriais (DM) são doenças raras, clínica e geneticamente heterogéneas, de difícil diagnóstico, para as quais não existe uma terapia eficaz. O desenvolvimento da tecnologia de sequenciação de nova geração (NGS) revolucionou o diagnóstico molecular deste grupo de doenças, permitindo a identificação de novos genes associados a estas patologias. Nesta nova era genética, através da utilização da tecn...
A seven-year-old female was followed in a developmental clinic from the age of nine months due to delayed psychomotor development. The first physical examination showed a newborn with irritability and a large anterior fontanelle. A transfontanellar ultrasound was performed, revealing mild enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles. Head circumference remained below the third percentile until the age of fiv...
Objective: Continuous Spike-Wave during slow Sleep (CSWS) syndrome associates a clinically important neurocognitive regression with strong activation of non-REM sleep spikes. Its mechanisms remain unknown, but a contribution of rare perinatal thalamic injuries has been highlighted. We determine the incidence of such lesions in a cohort of CSWS patients. Methods: N = 65 patients with CSWS and a control group (N ...
Acute ischemic stroke is rare in children and is associated with heart, hematologic, and vascular conditions. A high index of suspicion is required for proper diagnosis and intervention. We report a case of an acute ischemic stroke in a 13-year-old girl with a past medical history of left subscapular arteriovenous malformation. She started complaining of fever and nasal obstruction four days before admission, f...

This article analyses the 2008, 2012 and 2016 local elections in Porto Alegre, the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, based on the building of a comparative framework between voter behaviour and political coalitions` communication strategies. Electorate historical features, electoral results and electoral communication strategies are analysed and, finally, the data of the winning cand...
Introduction: Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) is a rare genetic condition, caused by a 17q21.31 microdeletion, or a pathogenic variant in KANSL1 gene. The clinical picture includes developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID) with expressive language particularly impaired, dysmorphisms, neonatal hypotonia, and friendly behaviour. Aim: To characterize at the molecular and clinical levels all patients in...
