Confirmation of Paternity despite Three Genetic Incompatibilities at Chromosome 2.

DNA testing in cases of disputed paternity is a routine analysis carried out in genetic laboratories. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate similarities and differences in analyzed genetic markers between the alleged father, mother, and a child. The existence of differences in the examined loci between the child and the presumed father may indicate the exclusion of biological parenthood.

Radiation therapy in patients with implanted deep brain stimulation.

Background: As deep brain stimulation (DBS) and radiation therapy (RT) have become established treatments for movement disorders and malignancies respectively, patients being treated with both simultaneously are becoming more frequent.

Objectives: Literature regarding the safety of RT in patients with implanted DBS is scarce, and there are no clear guidelines on how to manage them.

Methods: We present a follow-up of two Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with DBS undergoing RT in the context of previous literature.
