Ileal intussusception is the invagination of the small intestine within itself and accounts for 1% of cases of acute obstruction. However, physicians do not initially consider intussusception as a possible diagnosis of obstruction due to its rarity in adults. Herein, we report the case of a 22-year-old male who was admitted to the Emergency Department with continuous abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed...
O pólen de oliveira (Olea europaea) é uma das principais causas de alergia sazonal do tipo 1 que afeta mais de 20% da população na região Mediterrânica, sendo o Ole e 1 um alergénio major. Contudo, os métodos estabelecidos para a sua extração e quantificação são muito morosos e, devido ao tipo de soluções usadas para a extração, não permitem a aplicação de alguns métodos de estudo de proteínas que permitiriam a...
Introduction. Exposure to allergens is pivotal in determining sensitization and allergic symptoms in individuals. Pollen grain counts in ambient air have traditionally been assessed to estimate airborne allergen exposure. However, the exact allergen content in ambient air is unknown. HIALINE therefore monitored atmospheric concentrations of Betula, Poaceae and Olea pollen grains and matched their major allergen...
Pollen is routinely monitored, but it is unknown whether pollen counts represent allergen exposure. We therefore simultaneously determined olive pollen and Ole e 1 in ambient air in C ordoba, Spain, and Evora, Portugal, using Hirst-type traps for pollen and high-volume cascade impactors for allergen. Pollen from different days released 12-fold different amounts of Ole e 1 per pollen (both locations P < 0.001)....
The observation in microscopy of histological sections allows us to evaluate structural differences, in pancreatic cells, between rats with normal glucose tolerance and with glucose intolerance (pre-diabetic) situation. Nevertheless, this pre-diabetic condition implies subtle changes in islets of Langerhans structure. This and the normal variability among sampled cells makes difficult the task of identifying gl...
Diabetes is a widespread disease representing an enormous part of the total health costs. An early diagnostic could be of extremely importance both for the understanding and prevention of this pathology. Saliva is a fluid with increasing interest as a source of biomarkers for disease diagnostic and saliva protein composition changes have already been reported for diabetic individuals. However, the studies were ...
Objetivo: O pólen das gramíneas e da oliveira é uma importante fonte de aeroalergenos no Alentejo. Este estudo teve como objetivo estudar a sensibilização a proteínas de Phleum pratense e Olea europea L. em doentes das consultas externas de Imunoalergologia do Hospital do Espírito Santo em Évora (HESE) e correlacionar os sintomas com os conteúdos em pólen e alguns dos seus aeroalergenos, durante o ano de 2011. ...
