Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how intracranial pressure (ICP) behaves in healthy kids to help understand brain conditions.
- Researchers used a special device to measure ICP while kids were lying down and sitting up.
- The kids were mostly satisfied with the device, saying it didn’t bother them and rated their comfort very high.
Professor Sérgio Mascarenhas was a Brazilian researcher with a vast legacy. His work paved the way for new research possibilities by consolidating the use of innovation and transdisciplinary science. In Medicine, he proposed changes to what had previously been well-accepted concepts, and his contributions have influenced medical practices.

Background: Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by renal, anal, limb, and auditory abnormalities. TBS diagnosis can be challenging in settings where genetic analysis is not readily available. TBS traits overlap with those of Goldenhar and VACTERL syndromes.

Using diffusion-tensor (DTI) imaging and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) we tested the hypothesis that WM damage in FRDA is more extensive than previously described and probably involves normal-appearing WM.
Methods: This transversal study included 21 genetically confirmed FRDA patients and seventeen healthy controls that underwent structural MRI of the brain on a 1.
Introduction: Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus is more incident in female affecting different systems including the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to check the incidence of seizures and electroencephalographic features in these patients.
Method: It was analyzed all patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus referred to the Pequeno Príncipe Hospital in Curitiba, PR, Brazil, in the year of 2007.
