One of the obstacles to more frequent and appropriate use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in Portugal has been the lack of specific codes that accurately describe these examinations as they are currently performed. In this consensus document, recommendations are made for updating and standardizing CMR codes in Portugal. Guidance on which techniques and codes should be used in the most common clinical scenar...
Um dos obstáculos a uma utilização mais frequente e apropriada da ressonância magnética cardíaca (RMC) em Portugal tem sido a ausência de códigos específicos que descrevam adequadamente os exames tal como são efetuados actualmente. Este documento de consenso fornece recomendações para a atualização e uniformização dos códigos empregues na RMC. São igualmente feitas recomendações quanto às técnicas e códigos a u...
During five years (2002-2007), 295 MTC animal isolates, representing 25% of the total isolations from the bovine TB national eradication programme, were genotyped by spoligotyping and MIRU-VNTR typing. Main purposes were to assess the discriminatory power of different typing techniques and their usefulness for the Portuguese epidemiological scenario, to confirm transmission hypothesis between different cattle h...
Paratuberculosis or Johne's disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis chronic disease, incurable, difficult to diagnose in ruminants. Economic losses, direct and indirect, associated with it and possible links to Crohn's disease in humans, justifying more and more exhaustive study of this disease, and the establishment of preventive measures. An epidemiological survey was conducted on 1...

Tuberculosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. Although human cases due to Mycobacterium bovis, the aetiological agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), considerably decreased in most industrialized countries, the possible zoonotic health hazard and the considerable economic losses it brings justify significant efforts to eradicate the disease in several countries. In Portugal, alth...
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) prevalence has generally been decreasing for several years in Portugal due to an ongoing UE funded eradication programme. Nevertheless, new outbreaks have been intermittently recorded in bTB free herds, especially in two Eastern regions of Portugal (Beira Interior and Portalegre District part of Alentejo region), with no evident explanation referred in official epidemiological surveys....
Being Paratuberculosis a chronic disease of difficult diagnosis and having suspicious of her presence in Serra da Estrela ovine’s effectives, it’s essential to prove this fact and establish a fast, efficient and viable diagnosis protocol, to be able to identified flock’s carriers of disease cases and, subsequently, being developed an eradication plane that allows her control. Therefore, in this work were tested...
Este trabalho consistiu na aplicação de métodos de diagnóstico anatomopatológicos a 46 animais previamente submetidos a dois testes serológicos, ELISA e AGID, aos quais foi realizada a necrópsia. Foram contemplados vários parâmetros de diagnóstico que incluíram a observação do hábito externo antes da realização da necrópsia, exame macroscópico, exame histopatológico, método de coloração de Ziehl-Neelsen e métod...
