From anatomy to function: the role of the somatosensory cortex in emotional regulation
Braz. J. Psychiatry (São Paulo, 1999, Impr.); 41 (3), 2019
Since the pioneering work of Penfield and his colleagues in the 1930s, the somatosensory cortex, which is located on the postcentral gyrus, has been known for its central role in processing sensory information from various parts of the body. More recently, a converging body of literature has shown that t...
Dermoid cyst with cerebellar meningoencephalocele at different locations accompanied by posterior fossa abnormalities: case report
Säo Paulo med. j; 137 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Dermoid cysts are well-defined cysts containing sebaceous glands and dermal structures. In the literature, dermoid cysts and associated closure defects have been described in the same locations. CASE REPORT: In this case, a dermoid cyst was found at the base of the mouth with a coex...
Diabetes mellitus asociada a pancreatitis autoinmune: caso clínico
Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (5), 2019
Autoimmune pancreatitis is uncommon, responds to steroids and is usually associated with diabetes mellitus. We report a 73 year-old male who, two months after a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, presented with obstructive jaundice and weight loss. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of an a...

Xantomatosis cerebrotendinosa sin xantomas tendíneos: caso clínico
Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (5), 2019
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an uncommon autosomal recessive disease caused by deficiency of 27-sterol-hydroxylase that results in an accumulation of cholestanol in the central nervous system, eyes, tendons, and blood vessels. We report a 22-year-old woman with a history of cataract surgery at...

Smaller left anterior cingulate cortex in non-bipolar relatives of patients with bipolar disorder
Braz. J. Psychiatry (São Paulo, 1999, Impr.); 41 (3), 2019
Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) is highly heritable. The present study aimed at identifying brain morphometric features that could represent markers of BD vulnerability in non-bipolar relatives of bipolar patients. Methods: In the present study, structural magnetic resonance imaging brain scans were ac...
Ectopia cordis associated with pentalogy of cantrell-a case report
Rev. bras. ginecol. obstet; 41 (5), 2019
Abstract Pentalogy of Cantrell (PC) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by changes in the mesodermal median structures and congenital heart disease, often with a poor prognosis. In 1958, Cantrell et al2 defined the full spectrum of the syndrome with the following anomalies: defects of the anterior...
Abordaje pterional transilviano con apoyo neuroendoscópico en colesteatoma cerebral, a propósito de un caso interesante
Rev. medica electron; 41 (2), 2019
RESUMEN Los quistes epidermoides constituyen el 1 % de los tumores intracraneales y el 7 % de los del ángulo pontocerebeloso. Los colesteatomas son lesiones benignas que se originan de restos de tejidos epitelial ectodérmicos que quedan en el sistema nervioso central, al cerrarse el tubo neural entre l...
Quantification of Left Atrial Tissue Remodeling Using Intra-Atrial Dyssynchrony by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Intra-Atrial Dyssynchrony Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance to Quantify Tissue Remodeling in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (4), 2019
Abstract Background: Recent studies suggest that left atrial (LA) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can quantify the underlying tissue remodeling that harbors atrial fibrillation (AF). However, quantification of LA-LGE requires labor-intensive magnetic resonance imaging acquisition and postprocessing a...
