BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease (SCD) has extremely variable phenotypes, and several factors have been associated with the severity of the disease. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the chronic complications of SCD and look for predictive risk factors for increased severity and number of complications. METHODS: Retrospective study including all children followed for SCD in the Paediatric Haematology Unit of a tertiary hos...
A relação entre Dor Abdominal Recorrente (DAR) na criança e a infecção por Helicobacter pylori (Hp) tem sido longamente debatida, mantendo-se ainda um assunto polémico.No sentido de investigar este problema avaliaram-se 35 crianças com DAR da Consulta Externa de Gastroenterologia Pediátrica do Hospital de S. João.Métodos: Os doentes incluídos no estudo efectuaram investigação clínica e analítica adequada a cada...
The prevalence of piroplasm (order Piroplasmida) infection was assessed in blood and bone marrow samples from 91 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from northern, central and southern Portugal by means of molecular methods. PCR for the 18S rRNA gene of Babesia spp. followed by sequencing revealed 63 foxes positive for the Babesia microti-like piroplasm (syn. Theileria annae) (69.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.7-78...

Background and Goal of Study: Post-operative Quality Recovery Scale (PQRS), is the first scale evaluating several domains of postoperative recovery. The objectives of this study were to compare overal and physiologic, cognitive, and functional domains of post-operative recovery af ter elective surgical procedures using neostigmine or sugammadex as neuromuscular blocking (NMB) reversal agents, to validate the us...
Prémio da Melhor Comunicação Oral ; Introdução: As metodologias de controlo interno de qualidade são uma exigência dos sistemas de certificação e acreditação de laboratórios. A discussão/divulgação deste tipo de ferramentas no contexto da anatomia patológica facilitaria a sua implementação na rotina laboratorial, constituindo um desafio para todos os profissionais. Objectivos: Elaborar uma ferramenta de contr...
A anestesia regional em ortopedia apresenta vantagens claras na estabilidade hemodinâmica, perfusão do território cirúrgico e analgesia de qualidade superior. o objectivo deste estudo foi avaliar o tipo e frequência de técnicas realizadas no ano de 2012 em anestesia para cirurgia ortopédica pediátrica. Um total de 662 crianças agendadas para cirurgia electiva foram retrospectivamente estudadas no que diz respei...
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) technology uses microorganisms and their metabolites to retrieve unrecoverable oil from mature reservoirs. In situ stimulation of biosurfactant-producing and oil-degrading microorganisms reduces the capillary forces retaining the oil inside the reservoir and decreases its viscosity, thus promoting oil flow and consequently production. In this work, a sand-pack column model...
Two pre-treatments (granules disruption and heat) were applied to granular sludge to favour the production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from glycerol by non-methanogenic bacteria in expanded granular sludge blanket (EGSB) reactors. Different hydraulic retention times (HRT) were tested to achieve a maximum yield of 0.59 mol of 1,3-PDO/mol of glycerol in the control (no treatment) reactor at an HRT of 12 h. Molec...
