BLADDER exstrophy , *DELAYED diagnosis , *PELVIC bones , *PLASTIC surgery , *SURGICAL complications - Abstract
Introduction: Bladder exstrophy is a congenital anomaly which includes the exteriorization of the bladder and urethra. This case report aims to expand the knowledge of both the medical community and families seeking information about this pathology. Case report: The medical team observed irregularities in the newborn patient: exposed bladder, external rotation of the pelvic bones, diastasis in the pubic area, anterior displacement of the anus, and a bifid clitoris. These irregularities allowed the diagnosis of classic bladder exstrophy associated with epispadias. Due to the delay in diagnosis, the first stage of the Modern Staged Repair (MSR) method of surgical correction only occurred on the 14th day postpartum. After the surgery, the patient evolved with postoperative complications. After 9 months, she underwent another surgery, as the doctors chose to do a bilateral osteotomy and a bladder neck plastic surgery. Up to the present moment, the patient is in good general condition and the family awaits the next surgery. Conclusion: The patient, diagnosed with bladder exstrophy associated with the development of epispadias, does not have the most severe form of the disease. However, it is still a rare form with complex managing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To map geographic clusters of rare disorders and congenital anomalies reported in South America. Methods. Qualitative systematic review conducted in Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, and Scielo electronic databases to identify studies meeting eligibility criteria. The strategy resulted in 1 672 unique articles, from which 164 were selected for full reading by a pair of reviewers. Results. Fifty-five articles reported at least one cluster of genetic disorders or congenital anomalies in South American territory. From these papers, 122 clusters were identified, of which half (61) were related to autosomal recessive disorders. Sixty-five (53.3%) of the clusters were located in Brazil. Conclusions. The results of the review reinforce that rare diseases and congenital anomalies can occur in a non-random way in space, which is discussed in the perspective of the complex history of formation, social organization, and genetic structure of the South American population. Mapping clusters in population medical genetics can be an important public health tool, given that such places concentrate cases of rare diseases that frequently require multiprofessional, specialized care. Therefore, these results can support important agendas in public health related to rare diseases and congenital anomalies, such as health promotion and surveillance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome designates compression of the third part of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. This condition has a low incidence, being more common in thin young women. Nutcracker syndrome is compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. Both entities are rare, and their coexistence has been reported in a few cases. Conservative treatment targeting weight gain is sufficient in most cases. An association between the superior mesenteric artery syndrome and acute pancreatitis has rarely been reported. We intend to describe the case of an 18-year-old girl who was admitted to the emergency room with epigastric pain and emesis. Our investigation revealed acute acalculous pancreatitis. During work-up, we discovered superior mesenteric artery syndrome and a compressed left renal vein. The patient is on conservative treatment, and her symptoms have improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to know the coping strategies used by the mother of an infant with Epidermolysis Bullosa. Method: a single case study with a qualitative approach conducted with the mother of a six-month-old child with clinical diagnosis of Epidermolysis Bullosa. Data collection occurred between February and March 2020 at the participant's home, through in-depth interviews and observation. The narratives were submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: thematic categories emerged, being "(Re)meaning motherhood after the diagnosis of Epidermolysis Bullosa", which addresses the moments of discovery of the rare disease, as well as the use of the internet as a resource for coping, that presents the movement to acquire theoretical knowledge to enable maternal care performed to the child. Conclusion: the study allowed the understanding of the coping strategies used in the experience of motherhood before the birth of the child diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Rare disease associations in Portugal: An important source of psychosocial support: This study aimed at characterizing the rare disease patients' associations, as a relevant source of psychosocial support. Thirty-eight participants were interviewed, from 23 patients' associations (or its regional sections), connected to Centro de Genética Preditiva e Preventiva. Three conceptual categories have emerged in their discourses: (1) mission of their associations; (2) current context of associative work; and (3) strategies used and existing opportunities. The most common limitations were (1) the difficulty in finding volunteers; (2) the low literacy about rare diseases; (3) the limited involvement of professionals and of the general population; and (4) difficulties with funding. Our results showed that associations do play a key role in the advocacy for patients with rare diseases; and that it is possible to reinforce their articulation with existing resources, facilitating their integration with healthcare services and, thus, maximizing their visibility.

Introduction: The regulation of specific registrations for the so-called "orphan drugs" has been a strategy of the largest drug agencies in the world to promote access and monitoring of treatment for diseases and conditions of low prevalence or market interest. Aims: This study aimed to identify the profile of drugs that fa ll into this category internationally and explore possible gaps in registration generated by the absence of a specific health standard in Brazil. Methods: Orphan drug registration databases from countries of the European Union and the United States of America were analyzed and the results were compared with the database of the Brazilian Agency. Results: A total of 369 drugs registered as orphans in European and US agencies were identified, totaling 801 clinical indications. Most of the drugs registered internationally were antineoplastic agents and immunomodulators (N=135; 36.59 %) and drugs that acted on the digestive system and metabolism (N=48; 13.01 %). Of the orphan drugs registered and marketed internationally, almost half, 177 (47.97 %), did not have active registrations in Brazil and meet 327 clinical indications (40.82 %). Conclusion: Brazil must analyze in depth the impacts of the absence of an orphan drug registration flow, which can directly affect access to treatment for certain rare and neglected diseases.

Objective: To understand the therapeutic itinerary of individuals with rare diseases, from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis, in addition to the importance of nursing in this process. Methods: This is a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study, carried out through the methodology of oral history. Data collection took place between September and October 2020, and was carried out through telephone calls, using a standard script, in which six individuals with rare diseases participated. Results: It took individuals between 1 month and 43 years to discover the diagnosis, with the main difficulty reported being the lack of knowledge of the disease by health professionals, with family support identified as a facilitator. In relation to nursing care, some participants highlighted this care and others did not. Conclusion: The therapeutic itinerary of patients with rare diseases is varied, showing the complexity of these diseases and that, for this reason, health teams generally do not know how to deal with rare patients, thus demonstrating the greater need to deepen and study this theme.

Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disease in which increased phosphate loss in the kidney leads to hypophosphatemia and prevents normal mineralization of bone and tooth hard tissues. Purpose: To analyze the impact that this genetic pathology has on dental and periodontal hard tissues such as dentin, cementum, and alveolar bone. Methods: An integrative review of literature was carried out, through PubMed and SciELO searches. The search terms were: X-linked hypophosphatemia, dental tissue, periodontium, dentin, enamel, cementum, and alveolar bone. The search was restricted to literature in Spanish and English published between 2000 and 2020. Results: Thirteen articles that reported the impact of hypophosphatemia on dental tissues, mainly on dentin and cementum, were included. A negative impact of hypophosphatemia on periodontal tissues was also reported, especially on alveolar bone. Conclusions: The findings show us that XLH alters the structure of oral cavity hard tissues, affecting the quality of life of patients. Further research on the effect and behavior of this pathology on hard tissues of the oral cavity as well as its behavior as a risk factor for the presence of dental and periodontal disease is necessary.

Objective: To report a rare case of mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB in a pediatric patient, with emphasis on the description of the clinical manifestations and the early diagnosis. Case description: A 14-year-old male patient, who presented regression of neuropsychomotor development since his three years and six months old, with speech loss and frequent falls, evolving with behavioral changes, with agitation and aggressiveness. Although being diagnosed with autism, there was no response to the established treatment; he was subsequently submitted to metabolic investigation, which lead to the diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB. Comments: Identifying a metabolic disorder requires connecting multiple signs and symptoms, as well as eliminating other apparent causes. MPS IIIB is a diagnostic challenge, particularly in the early stages and in the absence of a family history of the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze and understand the demands and profile of users of the outpatient clinic in questions so as to improve care. Method: A retrospective study was carried out that evaluated the medical records of 119 patients seen in 2018. Results: It was found that 90% of referrals for genetic evaluation were made by physicians from different specialties, with a predominance of pediatricians (19.3%), with 51.3 % of patients coming from Volta Redonda and the remainder from 14 other cities in Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. Most patients (93.3%) were index cases and the rest were patients seeking genetic counseling. In the index cases, there was no gender difference and the predominant age group was between five and 9 years old. More than 50 genetic diseases were diagnosed, the most frequent being Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome and Neurofibromatosis. Conclusion: Rare diseases have several causes, 80% of which are genetic. To treat patients with these conditions, specialized services are needed. Most of these are concentrated in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil, including the Clinical Genetics service from the UniFOA Faculty of Medicine, in Volta Redonda, state of Rio de Janeiro. The evaluated data help to understand the profile of patients and the demands of the health system of the region, making it possible to plan the training of professionals to identify patients with probable genetic diseases and organize the flow of referral to the service, incorporating a more effective logistics.

This paper focuses on the study of eponyms in biomedical texts with a double objective: to obtain data on their presence in current texts and on the strategies used for their translation. For this purpose, a parallel corpus integrating three languages (English, Spanish, French) has been compiled and analyzed. The multigeneric nature of the textual samples that compose it (summary of product characteristics and package leaflets), its recent publication date (6 years ago) and the current socio-health issues that characterize the subdomain on which it is focused (orphan drugs) due to its link with rare diseases, make the corpus interesting and give it characteristics that are in line with the proposed objectives.

Abstract This paper focuses on the study of eponyms in biomedical texts with a double objective: to obtain data on their presence in current texts and on the strategies used for their translation. For this purpose, a parallel corpus integrating three languages (English, Spanish, French) has been compiled and analyzed. The multigeneric nature of the textual samples that compose it (summary of product characteristics and package leaflets), its recent publication date (6 years ago) and the current socio-health issues that characterize the subdomain on which it is focused (orphan drugs) due to its link with rare diseases, make the corpus interesting and give it characteristics that are in line with the proposed objectives. After reviewing the most outstanding studies on the concept of eponymy, the corpus and the methodology used for its exploitation are presented. The results confirm that eponymy, despite the controversial nature of its use, is very frequent in the texts studied. Likewise, they indicate that the eponyms used are similar in the three languages analyzed, although there are slight divergences that should be analyzed in detail.

Resumo A avaliação de tecnologias em saúde (ATS), enquanto prática científica e tecnológica é, ao mesmo tempo, um desafio, a fim de determinar o valor das tecnologias a serem incorporadas. Este estudo teve como objetivo explorar e comparar os resultados e elementos técnicos das avaliações emitidas para doenças raras, entre a agência inglesa (NICE) e a brasileira (CONITEC). A primeira etapa do estudo envolveu a busca sistemática das avaliações no período de 2013 a 2019. Na segunda etapa, os relatórios foram analisados com base em: (i) revisão narrativa descritiva e (ii) cálculo da frequência absoluta e relativa de acordo com cada domínio e componente (elemento) aplicado do modelo da rede Europeia de ATS. O total de 24 medicamentos foram distintamente avaliados no período do estudo. Por meio de 126 questões (elementos) distribuídas entre nove domínios, a análise revelou que 67 (53,2%) e 44 (35,0%) estavam descritas nos relatórios, 42 (33,3%) e 59 (47,0%) foram consideradas apenas parcialmente e 17 (13,5%) e 23 (18,0%) não foram consideradas nos relatórios do NICE e da CONITEC, respectivamente. Foi constatado uma concordância relativamente baixa da agência brasileira em relação à inglesa nos relatórios emitidos para doenças raras. Permanece indeterminado se as agências são capazes de capturar os diversos valores desses medicamentos, bem como gerenciar as incertezas nas avaliações. Abstract As a scientific and technological practice, the evaluation of health technologies (HTA) is, at the same time, a challenge to determine the value of the technologies to be incorporated. This study aimed to explore and compare the results and technical elements of the evaluations issued for rare diseases between the English (NICE) and the Brazilian agency (CONITEC). The first part of the study involved the systematic search for evaluations from 2013 to 2019. In the second stage, the reports were analyzed based on: (i) descriptive narrative review; and (ii) calculation of the absolute and relative frequency according to each domain and component (element) applied in the European HTA network model. Twenty-four medicines were distinctly assessed during the study period. Through 126 questions (elements) distributed among nine domains, the analysis revealed that 67 (53.2%) and 44 (35.0%) were described in the reports, 42 (33.3%) and 59 (47.0 %) were only considered partially, and 17 (13.5%) and 23 (18.0%) were not considered in the NICE and CONITEC reports, respectively. We identified a relatively low agreement between the Brazilian agency with the English agency in the reports issued for rare diseases. It remains to be seen whether the agencies are able to capture the various values of these medicines, as well as manage uncertainties in the evaluations.

Shprintzen-Goldberg craniosynostosis syndrome, characterized by craniosynostosis and marfanoid habitus, is a very rare entity described in 75 individuals worldwide. This study aimed to present a case report of a 6-year-old female Brazilian child with Shprintzen-Goldberg’s craniosynostosis syndrome. We described the craniofacial and oral characteristics and its clinical management, comparing to the existing literature. The patient presented with intellectual disability, craniosynostosis, ocular proptosis, low-set anomalous ears, and other skeletal and connective tissue defects. Oral features included malocclusion, micrognathia, pseudo-cleft palate, dental caries, and inefficient biofilm control. The treatment started with guidance on cariogenic foods, oral hygiene, and an indication to discontinue bottle feeding. Subsequently, the carious lesions were restored with composite resins, and the patient was referred for orthopedic surgery, orthodontic treatment, speech therapy, and nutritional counseling. The patient was followed for 5 years. This case report emphasizes the importance of knowing the craniofacial and oral characteristics for the diagnosis and clinical management of a female child with a rare Shprintzen-Goldberg’s craniosynostosis syndrome. The case also highlights the need for oral health care in individuals with intellectual disabilities. RESUMO A síndrome Shprintzen-Goldberg é uma entidade muito rara descrita em 75 pessoas, caracterizada por craniossinostose e habitus marfanóide. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar o relato de um caso clínico de uma criança brasileira de 6 anos com síndrome da craniossinostose de Shprintzen-Goldberg, apresentando as características craniofaciais e orais e seu manejo clínico, comparando com a literatura. O paciente apresentava deficiência intelectual, craniossinostose, proptose ocular, orelhas anômalas de implantação baixa e outros defeitos esqueléticos e do tecido conjuntivo. As características orais incluíram má oclusão, micrognatia, pseudo fenda palatina, atividade de cárie e controle ineficiente do biofilme. O tratamento foi iniciado com orientações sobre alimentos cariogênicos, higiene oral e indicação de suspensão do uso de mamadeira. Em seguida, as lesões cariosas foram restauradas com resina composta e o paciente encaminhado para cirurgia ortopédica, tratamento ortodôntico, fonoaudiologia e nutricionista. O paciente foi acompanhado periodicamente por 5 anos. Este relato de caso enfatiza a importância do conhecimento das características craniofaciais e orais para o diagnóstico e manejo clínico de uma criança do sexo feminino com síndrome de craniossinostose de Shprintzen-Goldberg rara, destacando a necessidade de cuidados com a saúde bucal em indivíduos com deficiência intelectual.

Low prevalence diseases require management models different from those used in other conditions. This work was intended to gather international experiences on this issue. Searches were made in many indexed literature databases as well as in those with gray literature. A panel of experts from different disciplines checked the abstracts and their potential adaptation into the Colombian context. The initial search retrieved 5604 references and the manual search added other 31 references. At the end, 78 articles provided useful information for the analysis. The results allow to state that a management model consists of several components, to wit: policies, legislation and administrative aspects; definition and coding of the diseases; research and education; specialized centers; excellence centers and service networks; diagnosis, screening, prevention, and promotion; orphan drug inclusion; rehabilitation and palliative care; organizations of patients and support groups or networks; and social-sanitary support (labor and educational inclusion).

Introduction: The 2q37.3 deletion syndrome is a disorder caused by the microdeletion of a subband on chromosome 2, whose epidemiology is approximately 150 cases worldwide, and the prevalence of 1: 10000. Its characteristics are developmental delay, facial dysmorphia, musculoskeletal abnormalities, and increased risk of congenital diseases. The purpose is to present, for the first time in the literature, the oral and dental clinical findings associated with the syndrome. Case report: The main physical characteristics of the syndrome were identified during the physical examination: thin upper lip, prominent columella, and epicanthic folds. In the intraoral examination, dental characteristics were reported, which may be associated with the syndrome: accumulation of dental calculus, hypomineralization and hypoplasia, crossbite, open bite, agenesis, taurodontism, and dentigerous cyst. The dental treatment consisted of the application of behavior management techniques, hygiene and diet instruction, prophylaxis, supragingival scraping, topical fluoride application, and extraction of the lower second molar. This is the first report of oral characteristics of the 2q37.3 deletion syndrome, giving importance to the characteristics observed in this patient. Such findings will be useful in the characterization of the syndrome, which is extremely rare, and may contribute to the clinical diagnosis of these patients, in addition to subsidizing the dental treatment of other individuals. Conclusion: We present oral clinical findings such as hypomineralization and hypoplasia, crossed and an open bite, agenesis, taurodontism, and dentigerous cyst present in the patient with the syndrome and we suggest that the involved gene or its deletion may be responsible for such findings., Introdução: A síndrome de deleção 2q37.3 é uma desordem causada pela microdeleção de uma sub-banda no cromossomo 2, cuja epidemiologia é de aproximadamente 150 casos no mundo, e a incidência de 1:10000. As características da síndrome são: atraso no desenvolvimento, dismorfia facial, anormalidades musculoesqueléticas e aumento ao risco de doenças congênitas. O objetivo deste relato de caso é apresentar, pela primeira vez na literatura, os achados clínicos orais e dentários associados à síndrome. Relato de caso: As principais características físicas da síndrome foram identificadas na paciente durante o exame físico: lábio superior fino, columela proeminente e dobras epicânticas. No exame intraoral, relatou-se as características odontológicas, que podem estar associadas à síndrome: acúmulo de cálculo dental, hipomineralização e hipoplasia, mordida cruzada, mordida aberta, agenesias, taurodontia e cisto dentígero. O tratamento dental consistiu na aplicação de técnicas de manejo de comportamento, instrução de higiene e de dieta, profilaxia, raspagem supragengival, aplicação tópica de flúor, além da extração do segundo molar decíduo inferior. Este é o primeiro relato de características orais da síndrome de deleção 2q37.3 dando importância às características observadas nesta paciente. Tais achados também serão úteis na caracterização da síndrome, que é extremamente rara, podendo contribuir para o diagnóstico clínico desses pacientes, além de subsidiar o tratamento odontológico de outros indivíduos. Conclusão: Apresentamos os achados clínicos orais como hipomineralização e hipoplasia, mordida cruzada e aberta, agenesia, taurodontia e cisto dentígero presentes na paciente com a síndrome e sugerimos que o gene envolvido ou sua deleção possam ser responsáveis por tais achados.

Objective This paper aims to contribute to the definition of ancient rare diseases in skeletons displaying pathologies associated with paralysis. It uses a new suite of methods, which can be applied to challenging cases of possible paralysis in archaeologically-derived human skeletal material, specifically applied to the identification of poliomyelitis. Materials An adult male skeleton from Roman Halbturn, Austria. Methods Morphological and entheseal change analyses, CT scans, X-rays, cross-section morphology, and histology, alongside modern clinical, as well as historic, literature were used to discuss paralyses. Results The results suggest a diagnosis of poliomyelitis; now considered a rare disease, but perhaps ubiquitous in antiquity, thus complicating the definition of ‘rare disease’. Conclusions The integrated methodological procedures employed for this case constitutes a replicable and thorough approach to diagnosis, and explores the nature of ancient rare diseases. Due to the socio-environmental aspects of poliomyelitis transmission, it is likely that polio was likely not rare in the past. Therefore, the definition of ‘rare diseases in the past’ must include rarely occurring rarely diagnosed diseases due to biases and challenges within the archaeological and environmental record. Significance The developed suite of methods has not been applied to establish a diagnosis of polio in the past. Limitations The individual considered in this study is fairly well-preserved; thus, this set of analyses may not be applicable to all remains where preservation is poor or highly fragmentary, and the discussion of rare diseases requires relatively secure diagnoses and context. Suggestions for further research Large collections and series of skeletal human remains are recommended to develop definitive conclusions.

Políticas públicas que atendam a população de doenças raras no Brasil são cada vez mais discutidas, seja para acesso aos medicamentos, para atenção multidisciplinar, alternativas terapêuticas ou representatividade. Apesar de o Ministério da Saúde ter publicado em 2014 a Portaria nº 199, que instituiu a Política Nacional de Atenção Integral às Pessoas com Doenças Raras, aprovando as Diretrizes para Atenção Integral às Pessoas com Doenças Raras no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), essa população segue desamparada frente às peculiaridades de seus tratamentos. Neste cenário, associações de pacientes passaram a buscar espaços de representação política, provocando cada vez mais iniciativas legislativas no Congresso Nacional com vistas a alternativas para os milhões de brasileiros que vivem ou convivem com doenças raras. Por meio de uma pesquisa documental qualitativa, o artigo considera todos os projetos apresentados até agosto de 2020 com foco neste tema, identificando os principais parlamentares que atuam nele, as características biográficas comuns entre eles, em qual etapa do ciclo de políticas públicas o tema está no Congresso Nacional e, com isso, pretende identificar um possível caminho para a consolidação de uma política. Observou-se que a atuação em doenças raras independe de alinhamento político partidário, sendo uma pauta compartilhada por grupos antagônicos, mas que enfrenta o desafio de apenas 18 parlamentares terem sidos os responsáveis por 50% de todas as matérias legislativas já apresentadas sobre isso. Além disso, observou-se também que os parlamentares preferem impulsionar o debate e dar visibilidade ao tema do que investir em novas tentativas de mudanças legais e regulatória. Public policies that serve the Brazilian population with rare diseases are increasingly discussed, either regarding access to medicines, multidisciplinary care, therapeutic alternatives, or representativeness. Although the Brazilian Ministry of Health published in 2014 the Ordinance n. 199, which instituted the Brazilian National Policy of Integral Care for People with Rare Diseases and approving the Guidelines for Integral Care to People with Rare Diseases under the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS), this population remains unaided regarding the peculiarities of their treatments. In this scenario, patient associations began to seek spaces for political representation, increasingly provoking legislative initiatives in the Brazilian National Congress, seeking for alternatives for the millions of Brazilians living with rare diseases. By using a qualitative documentary research, the study considers all projects presented until August 2020 on this topic, identifying the main parliamentarians involved, their biographical characteristics, and at which stage of the public policy cycle this topic is in the Brazilian National Congress; thus, identifying a possible path for the consolidation of a policy. We observed that the actions regarding rare diseases are independent of any political party alignment, being an agenda shared by antagonistic groups. This agenda, however, faces the challenge of having only 18 parliamentarians responsible for 50% of all the legislative matters already presented. Furthermore, we also observed that parliamentarians prefer to boost the debate and give visibility to the subject than to invest in new attempts at legal and regulatory changes. Las políticas públicas que asisten a la población que sufre enfermedades raras en Brasil son cada vez más discutidas, ya sea en cuanto al acceso a medicamentos, a la atención multidisciplinaria, a alternativas terapéuticas o a la representatividad. Aunque el Ministerio de Salud brasileño publicó la Ordenanza nº 199 en el 2014, que estableció la Política Nacional de Atención Integral a las Personas con Enfermedades Raras, y aprobando las Directrices para la Atención Integral a las Personas con Enfermedades Raras en el ámbito del Sistema Único de Salud (SUS), esta población permanece impotente ante las peculiaridades de sus tratamientos. En este escenario, las asociaciones de pacientes comenzaron a buscar espacios de representación política, dando lugar a cada vez más iniciativas legislativas en el Congreso Nacional brasileño con vistas a alternativas para los millones de brasileños que viven o conviven con enfermedades raras. Por medio de una investigación documental cualitativa, este artículo considera todos los proyectos presentados hasta agosto del 2020 centrados en este tema, identificando a los principales parlamentarios que actúan en él, las características biográficas comunes entre ellos, en qué etapa del ciclo de políticas públicas se encuentra el tema en el Congreso Nacional brasileño y, con ello, identificar un posible camino para la consolidación de una política. Se observó que la actuación relacionada con enfermedades raras no depende de la alineación político-partidista, ya que es una agenda compartida por grupos antagónicos, pero que se enfrenta al desafío de que solo 18 parlamentarios hayan sido los responsables del 50% de todos los asuntos legislativos que ya se presentaron al respecto. Además, también se observó que los parlamentarios prefieren impulsar el debate y dar visibilidad al tema que invertir en nuevos intentos de cambios legales y regulatorios.

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked inherited disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene encoding enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). The purpose of this study was to produce a consensus statement to standardize the recommendations concerning kidney involvement in FD and provide advice on the diagnosis, screening, and treatment of adult and pediatric patients. This consensus document was organized from an initiative led by the Committee for Rare Diseases (Comdora) of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology (SBN). The review considered randomized clinical trials, real-world data studies, and the expertise of its authors. The purpose of this consensus statement is to help manage patient and physician expectations concerning the outcomes of treatment. Our recommendations must be interpreted within the context of available evidence. The decisions pertaining to each individual case must be made with the involvement of patients and their families and take into account not only the potential cost of treatment, but also concurrent conditions and personal preferences. The Comdora intends to update these recommendations regularly so as to reflect recent literature evidence, real-world data, and appreciate the professional experience of those involved. This consensus document establishes clear criteria for the diagnosis of FD and for when to start or stop specific therapies or adjuvant measures, to thus advise the medical community and standardize clinical practice. Resumo A doença de Fabry (DF) é uma doença genética, com herança ligada ao cromossomo X, que ocorre devido a variantes no gene GLA que codifica a enzima α-galactosidase A (α-GAL). O propósito do presente estudo foi criar um consenso objetivando padronizar as recomendações em relação ao acometimento renal da DF com orientações sobre o diagnóstico, rastreamento e tratamento de pacientes adultos e pediátricos. Esse consenso é uma iniciativa do Comitê de Doenças Raras (Comdora) da Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia (SBN). Foram considerados para esta revisão estudos clínicos controlados randomizados e estudos com dados de vida real somado à experiência dos autores. O resultado desse consenso foi auxiliar no gerenciamento das expectativas de pacientes e médicos quanto aos resultados do tratamento. Nossas recomendações devem ser interpretadas no contexto das evidências e ressaltando que as decisões finais devem ser tomadas individualmente, em uma decisão conjunta com o paciente e familiares, considerando os custos envolvidos, não apenas financeiros, doenças concomitantes e preferências pessoais. O Comdora pretende atualizar essas recomendações regularmente, e assim seguir novas evidências na literatura, considerar dados de vida real e valorizar a experiência profissional dos envolvidos. Esse consenso estabelece critérios claros para o diagnóstico da DF, início e interrupção de terapia específica e de medidas adjuntas, orientando a comunidade médica e uniformizando condutas.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality of variable clinical manifestations and still unknown etiological origin characterized in the patient by the triad: port-wine stain, varicose veins and bone and soft tissue hypertrophy. Such a condition predicts risk to pregnancy, considering the increase in complications such as hemorrhage and thrombosis. In addition to this problem, teenage pregnancy is an additional risk to the occurrence of pregnancy in patients with this syndrome, considering the potentiation of problems related to teenage pregnancy. This is a prospective study of the case report type, whose study will be of a teenager, 14 years old, pregnant, with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome. Data were collected using a protocol established by the researchers during monthly home visits and the information was subsequently analyzed. In general, a positive outcome was observed in this case, however, pregnancy in women with KTS, especially adolescents, requires caution and close monitoring, given the high risks that such a pathology can generate in this period. El síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay es una rara anomalía congénita de manifestaciones clínicas variables y de origen etiológico aún desconocido que se caracteriza en el paciente por la tríada: mancha en vino de Oporto, venas varicosas e hipertrofia ósea y de partes blandas. Tal condición predice riesgo para el embarazo, considerando el aumento de complicaciones como hemorragia y trombosis. Además de este problema, el embarazo adolescente es un riesgo adicional a la ocurrencia de embarazo en pacientes con este síndrome, considerando la potenciación de problemas relacionados con el embarazo adolescente. Se trata de un estudio prospectivo del tipo reporte de caso, cuyo estudio será de una adolescente, de 14 años, embarazada, con Síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay. Los datos fueron recolectados mediante un protocolo establecido por los investigadores durante visitas domiciliarias mensuales y la información fue analizada posteriormente. En general, se observó un resultado positivo en este caso, sin embargo, el embarazo en mujeres con STK, especialmente adolescentes, requiere precaución y seguimiento estrecho, dados los altos riesgos que dicha patología puede generar en este período. A síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay é uma anormalidade congênita rara de manifestações clínicas inconstantes e origem etiológica ainda desconhecida caracterizada no paciente pela tríade: mancha vinho do porto, veias varicosas e hipertrofia óssea e dos tecidos moles. Tal condição prediz risco a gravidez, considerando o aumento de intercorrências como hemorragia e trombose. Além desse agravo, a gravidez na adolescência é um adicional de risco à ocorrência de gestação em portadores desta síndrome considerando-se a potencialização de agravos relacionados a gravidez na adolescência. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo do tipo relato de caso, cujo estudo será de uma adolescente, 14 anos, grávida, portadora da Síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay. Os dados foram coletados a partir de um protocolo estabelecido pelos pesquisadores durante as visitas domiciliares mensais e as informações foram analisadas posteriormente. De forma geral, observou-se um desfecho positivo nesse caso, no entanto, a gestação em mulheres portadoras de SKT, especialmente adolescente, necessita de cautela e atento acompanhamento, visto os altos riscos que tal patologia pode gerar nesse período.

Resumo Hemofilia é uma condição hematológica rara e seu tratamento é alvo de inovação terapêutica. No encontro entre necessidades do paciente, condutas do clínico e orientação do gestor de saúde, surge o conflito: o protocolo é um mínimo ou um máximo terapêutico? As decisões clínicas em debate com a alocação de recursos levam à discussão sobre equidade nessas situações-limite. O método do presente estudo é compreensivo, mediante análise bioética de 14 decisões judiciais acerca do acesso ao tratamento de hemofilia. As decisões de garantia de acesso aos tratamentos pressupõem vinculação ética com o paciente; a clínica conserva uma dimensão de equidade ao permitir que o tratamento seja singular e as doses previstas em protocolo sejam sugestões e não limites. Do ponto de vista ético, estas são expressões de justiça, de precaução e de consideração dos interesses do paciente. Abstract Hemophilia is a rare hematological condition and its treatment is the target of therapeutic innovation. In the meeting between patient needs, clinician conducts and guidance from the health manager, a conflict arises: is the protocol a therapeutic minimum or maximum? Clinical decisions under discussion with the allocation of resources lead to the discussion about equity in such limit situations. The method of the present study is a comprehensive bioethical analysis of 14 legal decisions about the access to hemophilia treatment. Decisions to guarantee access to treatments presuppose ethical link with the patient; the clinic retains a dimension of equity by allowing the treatment to be unique and the doses provided for in the protocol are suggestions and not limits. From an ethical point of view, these are expressions of justice, precaution and consideration of a patient’s interests.

Las decisiones clínicas en debate con la asignación de recursos plantean la discusión sobre la equidad en estas situaciones límite. Este estudio se basa en el método comprensivo a través de un análisis bioético de 14 decisiones judiciales sobre el acceso al tratamiento de la hemofilia. Las decisiones para garantizar el acceso a los tratamientos suponen un vínculo ético con el paciente; la clínica mantiene una dimensión de equidad al permitir que el tratamiento sea único y las dosis previstas en el protocolo sean sugerencias y no límites. Desde el punto de vista ético, estas son expresiones de justicia, de precaución y consideración de los intereses del paciente.

Fabry disease (FD) is a genetic disease, with X-chromosome linked inheritance, due to variants in the GLA gene that encodes the α-galactosidase A (α-GAL) enzyme. The purpose of the present study was to create a consensus aiming to standardize the recommendations regarding the renal involvement of FD with guidelines on the diagnosis, screening, and treatment of pediatric patients. This consensus is an initiative of the Rare Diseases Committee (Comdora) of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology (SBN). Randomized controlled clinical studies and studies with real-life data added to the authors' experience were considered for this review. The result of this consensus was to help manage patient and physician expectations regarding treatment outcomes. Thus, this consensus document recommends the investigation of the pediatric family members of an index case, as well as cases with suggestive clinical signs. From the diagnosis, assess all possible FD impairments and grade through scales. From an extensive review of the literature including pediatric protocols and particularly evaluating pediatric cases from general studies, it can be concluded that the benefits of early treatment are great, especially in terms of neuropathic pain and renal impairment parameters and outweigh the possible adverse effects that were mainly manifested by infusion reactions. Resumo A doença de Fabry (DF) é uma doença genética, com herança ligada ao cromossomo X, devido a variantes no gene GLA que codifica a enzima α-galactosidase A (α-GAL). O propósito do presente estudo foi criar um consenso objetivando padronizar as recomendações em relação ao acometimento renal da DF com orientações sobre o diagnóstico, rastreamento, e tratamento de pacientes pediátricos. Esse consenso é uma iniciativa do Comitê de Doenças Raras (Comdora) da Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia (SBN). Foram considerados para esta revisão estudos clínicos controlados randomizados e estudos com dados de vida real somados à experiência dos autores. O resultado desse consenso foi auxiliar no gerenciamento das expectativas de pacientes e médicos quanto aos resultados do tratamento. Assim, este documento de consenso recomenda a investigação dos familiares pediátricos de um caso índice, assim como de casos com clínica sugestiva. A partir do diagnóstico, avaliar todos os possíveis acometimentos da DF e graduar através de escalas. A partir de uma revisão extensa da literatura incluindo protocolos pediátricos e avaliando particularmente os casos pediátricos de estudos gerais, pode-se concluir que os benefícios do tratamento precoce são grandes, principalmente quanto aos parâmetros de dor neuropática e do acometimento renal, e suplantam os possíveis adversos que foram sobretudo manifestados por reações infusionais.
