Background And Objectives: Hypotonia is a relatively common finding among infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Consideration of genetic testing is recommended early in the care of infants with unexplained hypotonia. We aimed to assess the diagnostic yield and overall impact of exome and genome sequencing (ES and GS).

Method: this is a methodological and development study in compliance with the SQUIRE-EDU guidelines. 20 experts participated.
Introduction: The prevalence of Fibromyalgia in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is significantly higher compared to the general population. Despite this frequent association, Fibromyalgia remains underdiagnosed and consequently inadequately treated, negatively affecting the quality of life of these patients.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the occurrence of Fibromyalgia and its impact on the quality of life of Brazilian patients with SLE treated at a University Hospital in the state of Paraiba.
Article Synopsis
- * By analyzing blood samples from 118 kidney recipients over a median follow-up of 6.3 years, researchers developed a risk score based on age and immune cell responses, categorizing patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups for OIS.
- * The results showed that the risk score accurately reflected the likelihood of OIS events, with significant differences in risk percentages across the categories, highlighting the potential for improved personalized monitoring in organ transplant patients.
Objectives: Prenatal genetic diagnosis can impact care across the perinatal continuum; however, prenatal suspicion for genetic disorders may be complicated by incomplete knowledge of fetal rare-disease phenotypes. Here, we describe the prenatal presentations of a cohort of infants with rare genetic conditions who were diagnosed postnatally in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), to characterize prenatal presenting features and evaluate why the diagnosis was not identified prenatally.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of infants born over a 7 year period (2017-2023) who were admitted to a Level IV NICU and received a postnatal genetic diagnosis prior to 1 year of age.
