RESUMO
Endurance sports can predispose to the occurrence of certain arrhythmias, making them more frequent in athletes than in the general population. Endurance athletes often exhibit electrocardiographic modifications that are difficult to interpret without specific knowledge of the athlete's ECG. Some of these ECG modifications and arrhythmias are benign, however others can be potentially life threatening.

Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of clubfoot is increasing. Of 103 patients with clubfoot diagnosed at birth, 26 (25.2%) positive prenatal scans were identified with the earliest diagnosis being made at 15 weeks. A questionnaire assessment indicated that 17 (65.4%) deemed that the explanation of the baby's condition was clear. With an increasing incidence of antenatal detection, it is suggested that parents require adequate antenatal counseling by a specialist in the area of clubfoot to improve the understanding of the natural history and treatment of this condition.
