- Gastroduodenal tolerability of nimesulide and diclofenac in patients with osteoarthritisPublication . Porto, A; Reis, C; Perdigoto, R; Gonçalves, M; Freitas, P; Macciocchi, AThis 1-month, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group study was conducted to compare nimesulide (100 mg twice daily) with diclofenac (50 mg three times daily) with respect to gastroduodenal tolerability and efficacy in patients with osteoarthritis. Results of gastroduodenal endoscopy in 83 patients (42 receiving nimesulide, 41 receiving diclofenac) revealed that, after 30 days, 4 patients (1 nimesulide, 3 diclofenac) had developed ulcers and 6 patients (4 nimesulide, 2 diclofenac) had developed erosions; however, differences between the treatment groups were not statistically significant. Both study drugs were well tolerated. Ten patients (5 in each group) withdrew from the study prematurely because of adverse events. Efficacy was assessed by measuring pain on visual analogue scales, using the functional index of Lequesne, and by scoring spontaneous pain, pain on passive movement, and functional impairment. Nocturnal pain was also checked. All efficacy variables showed a significant improvement during the study, and no statistically significant differences were observed between the treatment groups

- Non-syndromic Sensorineural Prelingual Deafness: The Importance of Genetic Counseling in Demystifying Parents’ Beliefs About the Cause of Their Children’s DeafnessPublication . Rodrigues, F; Paneque, M; Reis, C; Venâncio, M; Sequeiros, J; Saraiva, JMRecent advances in molecular genetics have allowed the determination of the genetic cause of some childhood non-syndromic deafness. In Portugal only a small proportion of families are referred to a clinical genetics service in order to clarify the etiology of the deafness and to provide genetic counseling. Consequently, there are no published studies of the prior beliefs of parents about the causes of hereditary deafness of their children and their genetic knowledge after receipt of genetic counseling. In order to evaluate the impact of genetic counseling, 44 parents of 24 children with the diagnosis of non-syndromic sensorineural prelingual deafness due to mutations in the GJB2 (connexin 26), completed surveys before and after genetic counseling. Before counseling 13.6 % of the parents knew the cause of deafness; at a post-counseling setting this percentage was significantly higher, with 84.1 % of the parents accurately identifying the etiology. No significant differences were found between the answers of mothers and fathers either before or after genetic counseling. Parents' level of education was a significant factor in pre-test knowledge. After genetic counseling 95.5 % of the parents stated that the consultation had met their expectations, 70.5 % remembered correctly the inheritance pattern, and 93.2 % correctly recalled the chance of risk of deafness. These results underline the importance of genetic counseling in demystifying parents' beliefs about the etiology of their children's deafness.
