PSEUDOXANTHOMA ELASTICUM-LIKE PAPILLARY DERMAL ELASTOLYSIS - A SUBDIAGNOSIS ENT...

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis (PXE-PDE) is an acquired clinical entity, of unknown etiology, characterized by partial or total absence of elastic fibers in the papillary dermis. We describe the case of a 62-year-old Caucasian woman, Fitzpatrick III skin phototype, with a dermatosis characterized by multiple, asymptomatic, yellowish, monomorphic, rounded papules, with 2-3mm in diamet...

QUALITY OF INTERNET RESOURCES BEFORE ATTENDING A VENEREOLOGY CLINIC

Introduction: Internet access for health information has risen in recent years and is currently used by 30% of Portuguese. Regarding sexually transmitted infections (STI), the information provided on the Internet should focus on preventive education and orientation of patients for medical assistance. Objective: Evaluation of the in- formation concerning STI, provided on Internet resources, accessed by the patie...

Skin Cancer in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Incidence and Association with Cli...

Introduction and Objectives: Organ transplanted recipients have a higher risk of non melanoma skin cancer. Our objectives were to determine incidence of skin cancer and search for associations with clinical or demographic factors in a series of kidney transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: A prospective study with face-to-face interview of 127 kidney transplant recipients who were observed for the first ...

Sequence analysis of 5' regulatory regions of the Machado-Joseph Disease gene (...

Machado–Joseph disease (MJD) is a late-onset autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by a coding (CAG)n expansion in the ATXN3 gene (14q32.1). The number of CAG repeats in the expanded alleles accounts only for 50 to 75 % of onset variance, the remaining variation being dependent on other factors. Differential allelic expression of ATXN3 could contribute to the explanation of different ag...

Flywheel Sizing for the Secure Operation of an Isolated Network with a High Lev...

This paper presents the methodology followed for sizing a flywheel energy storage system (FESS), in order to prevent frequency stability problems in an isolated network with an increased production of renewable generation. The analyzed case study is a real isolated power system that includes diesel, wind and photovoltaic solar generation. In the proposed methodology, the flywheel sizing is obtained from perform...

The APOE ε2 allele increases the risk of Earlier Age at onset in Machado-Joseph...

Background. Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder of late onset, caused by a (CAG)n expansion at the ATXN3 gene (14q32.1). Variation in age-at-onset is partially explained by the size of the (CAG)n tract in expanded alleles. The remaining variation should be the product of other factors, namely modifier genes. The genotype at the APOE locus has been described as a poss...
