Radiologically Isolated Syndrome: An Overview

Incidence of Radiologically Isolated Syndrome: A Population-Based Study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Incidental MR imaging findings resembling MS in asymptomatic individuals, fulfilling the Okuda criteria, are termed "radiologically isolated syndrome." Those with radiologically isolated syndrome are at high risk of their condition converting to MS. The epidemiology of radiologically isolated syndrome remains largely unknown, and there are no population-based studies, to ...

An Overview of The Globozoospermia as A Multigen-ic Identified Syndrome

Acrosome plays an integral role during fertilization and its absence in individuals with globozoospermia leads to failure of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte activation post-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). A variety of processes, organelles and structures are involved in acrosome biogenesis including, trans-Golgi network (TGN), acroplaxome and cellular trafficking. This review a...

Incidental demyelinating inflammatory lesions in asymptomatic patients: a Brazilian cohort with radiologically isolated syndrome and a critical review of current literature.

Despite the definition of specific diagnostic criteria to identify radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) suggestive of multiple sclerosis, its natural history remains incompletely understood. We retrospectively analyzed a Brazilian cohort of 12 patients to clarify their features and to emphasize the role of imaging predictors in clinical conversion. We demonstrated that, although some individu...

P61: Pandard Syndrome, Disorders and Treatments Available: An Overview Article

Pendard syndrome is a genetic disorder that is usually associated with hearing loss in children and thyroid status called goiter, and sometimes affects the balance of the person. Researchers estimate that 7 to 8 percent of the total congenital hearing loss is Pandard's syndrome. A sign that a person may have mutated the SLC26A4 gene is a family history of hearing loss in the early days. Another...
