Biomarkers of exposure to metal dust in exhaled breath condensate: methodology ...
Félix, P. M.; Franco, C.; Barreiros, Maria Alexandra; Batista, B.; Bernardes, S.; Garcia, S. M.; Almeida, A. B.; Almeida, S. M.; Wolterbeek, H. Th.In occupational assessments where workers are exposed to metal dust, the liquid condensate of exhaled breath (EBC) may provide unique indication of pulmonary exposure. The main goal of this study was to demonstrate the quality of EBC to biological monitoring of human exposure. A pilot study was performed in a group of metal dust–exposed workers and a group of nonexposed individuals working in offices. Only meta...

Alvares, E; Serviço de Pneumologia, Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Barroso, C; Sotto-Mayor, R; de Almeida, A B; Freitas e Costa, MPleural effusions can be a manifestation of several nosological entities. Etiologic diagnosis involves a good clinical history, followed by thoracocentesis with pleural biopsy and eventually bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy. The differentiation between transudates and exudates, by the biochemical characteristics of the pleural effusions, can orientate the underlying disorder. It is known that there are more than 35...
Pulmonary sequestration. Report of a clinical case.
Ferro, R; Serviço de Pneumologia e Radiologia, Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Sotto-Mayor, R; Campos, P; Godinho, T M; de Almeida, A BConcerning a clinical situation of intralobar pulmonary sequestration, in a seventeen year old young man, the authors review this nosological entity. They emphasize the importance of the complementary examens of diagnosis, namely of thoracic scan and aortography, for the establishment of the said diagnosis. ; Concerning a clinical situation of intralobar pulmonary sequestration, in a seventeen year old young m...

Monteiro, J F; Serviço de Anatomia Patológica, Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Moita, L; de Almeida, A B; Freitas e Costa, M; Fernandes, A CThe case of a 52 year old man, whose initial clinical manifestations were dyspnea, bloodstained sputum and malaise is reported. After the initial cancer hypothesis, a diagnosis of diffuse primary tracheo-bronchial amyloidosis was made. The amyloid substance present was not of A A type and the plasma cells next to the deposits were polyclonal. The piece-meal removal of the masses by bronchoscopy led to profuse b...
