Article Synopsis
- This study investigates three chromatinopathies (Wiedemann-Steiner, Kleefstra, Coffin-Siris syndromes) known for similar symptoms like intellectual disability and growth issues, to explore their potential metabolic connections.
- Eleven patients participated in the study, where researchers conducted physical exams and assessed resting energy expenditure, finding no significant differences between these conditions and healthy controls.
- The findings highlight the importance of epigenetic factors in growth and neurodevelopment, suggesting that certain clinical features should be monitored in these syndromes, while emphasizing the need for further research into energy metabolism.
Introduction: The different structural modifications that have been described in the heart of the high-performance athlete depend on factors such as age, gender, type of sport, and the intensity and time dedicated to training.
Objectives: Evaluation of elite athletes through echocardiography for the description of cardiac structure and function, and the comparison between athletes with cardiorespiratory endurance and the rest of the athletes.
Methods: We performed the echocardiographic examination in 224 elite athletes, 96 women and 128 men aged 15 to 38 years (21.
Article Synopsis
- In 2006, a Colombian Constitutional Court ruling partially decriminalized abortion, but many women still chose to self-manage their abortions using medications acquired informally due to barriers in accessing formal healthcare services.
- A 2018 study involving interviews with 47 women revealed a lack of trust in the healthcare system and misinformation about the abortion law as key reasons for this preference for informal methods.
- Despite a progressive abortion law adopted in 2022, understanding the motivations behind self-managed abortions could help improve knowledge and access to legal abortion services in the future.
Article Synopsis
- - Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a genetic condition characterized by intellectual disability, unique facial features, limb abnormalities, and unusual growth patterns, caused by mutations in the CBP and p300 genes.
- - A diverse range of clinical and diagnostic practices for RTS exists worldwide, highlighted by discussions among international experts and support groups.
- - This report presents consensus recommendations for clinical diagnostic criteria, molecular investigations, and long-term management of RTS, emphasizing the need for ongoing evaluation to improve patient care.
The field of continuum robotics is rapidly developing. The development of new kinematic structures, locomotion principles and control strategies is driving the development of new types of sensors and sensing methodologies. The sensing in continuum robots can be divided into shape perception and environment perception.
