- Síndrome de Russel-SilverPublication . Nogueiras, AM; Costeiras, MT; Moreira, HS; Antunes, AHRussel-Silver syndrome is a pattern of malformations whose most characteristic features are intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, a characteristic facial appearance and limb asymmetry. We report a 9-month-old male born at 37 weeks' gestation. Family history, pregnancy and delivery revealed no significant anomalies. The infant had no intrauterine growth retardation (birth weight and height ranging between the 25 th and 50 th percentile). The infant's head circumference was disproportionately large for the small facial mass. Clinical findings included a small triangular face with frontal bossing, blue sclerae, thin lips with down-turned corners, retromicrognathia, clinodactyly of the fifth finger in both hands and limb asymmetry with undergrowth of the right leg and the left arm. The patient presented postnatal growth deficiency with weight and height 5th percentile; his head circumference grew normally along the 90 th percentile. Psychomotor development was appropriate for his age (9 months) according to the Sheridan Scale. On the basis of this clinical evidence we diagnosed Russel-Silver syndrome, attributing particular relevance to the normal intrauterine growth and the crossed asymmetry of the limbs.
- Prevalência do anticorpo contra o vírus da Hepatite A numa população do norte de PortugalPublication . Cunha, I; Antunes, HAIM: To find the prevalence of antibody to hepatitis A virus in the population of the North of Portugal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ten General Practitioners were asked to provide blood samples from patients who would need blood tests for any reason other than acute hepatitis, during January and February 1996. In this way, 381 samples were obtained for assessment of anti hepatitis A virus antibodies using a commercial radioimmunassay ELISA. All subjects gave their informed consent and answered to a protocol regarding age, sex, geographic area, number of people per household and sewage systems. The statistics were performed using SPSS. RESULTS: The 381 subjects were distributed into eight age groups: I (1-4 years)--57; II (5-9 years)--57; III (10-14 years)--26; IV (15-19 years)--41; V (20-29 years)--55; VI (30-39 years)--51; VII (40-49 years)--41; VIII--(equal or more than 50 years)--53. The prevalence of anti HAV antibodies per group-percentage (number), (confidence intervals), were: I--7.0% (4) (3-17%); II--15.8% (9), (9-27%); III--26.9% (7) (14-46%); IV--51.2% (21) (37-66%); V--85.5% (47) (74-92%); VI--72.5% (37) (59-83%); VII--87.8% (36) (75-95%); VIII--88.7% (47) (80-93%). CONCLUSION: The comparison with previous data (Lecour et al.) shows improvement in sanitary conditions of population, with associated lower prevalence of anti hepatitis A virus antibody.
