Numerical study of contact forces for crack closure analysis
Antunes, F. V.; Chegini, A. G.; Correia, L.; Branco, R.Plasticity induced crack closure (PICC) has been widely studied using numerical models. Different numerical parameters can be considered to quantify the opening level, namely one based on the analysis of contact stresses at minimum load. A modified version of this parameter is proposed here, based on nodal contact forces instead of contact stresses. The predictions were found to be similar to those obtained fro...
Implante Contraceptivo Não Palpável - Estratégias para a sua Localização e Remoção
Isidro Amaral, P; Correia, L; Silveira Reis, I; Machado, AIOverview and Aims: The contraceptive implant is frequently used to provide contraceptive protection over three years. The implant is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of the upper arm, and should be palpable and easily removed. We evaluated the best imaging strategy for non-palpable implant (Implanon®) localization and removal. Study Design: Retrospective study. Population: A total of 11 women referred to a...
Saúde Sexual e Reprodutiva das Adolescentes - a Nossa Realidade
Oliveira Marques, C; Gomes, G; Correia, L; Palma, F; Martins, I; Alves, MJOverview and Aims: Several behavioral and biological factors can make adolescents particularly vulnerable to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate sexual behavior and contraceptive use patterns of a population of adolescents. Study Design: Retrospective study. Population: 163 female adolescents attending an Adolescence Unit for the first time, during 2010....
Uma Complicação Grave da Embolização das Artérias Uterinas
Correia, L; Simões, TUterine artery embolisation has been used as a therapeutic alternative for symptomatic uterine myomas. It is considered a safe and effective procedure, with very few cases published involving complications. The authors present a case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman with an intramural myoma with 161x143x85mm, submitted to an uterine artery embolisation complicated by uterine necrosis. A hysterectomy was perfo...
A parameter for quantitative analysis of plasticity induced crack closure
Antunes, F. V.; Correia, L.; Ramalho, A. L.Numerical models have been successfully developed to predict plasticity induced crack closure (PICC). However, despite the large research effort a full understanding of the links between physical parameters, residual plastic wake and PICC has not been achieved yet. The plastic extension of material behind crack tip, Δyp, obtained by the integration of vertical plastic deformation perpendicularly to crack flank,...
Doença associada ao Clostridium difficile – aumento dramático da incidência em ...
Correia, L; Monteiro, R; Alfaro, TM; Simão, A; Carvalho, A; Nascimento-Costa, JMMany publications show an incidence increase of Clostridium difficile (CD) associated disease (CDAD), affecting both in- and outpatients being these recent infections more severe and difficult to treat. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the incidence and clinical impact of CDAD in patients hospitalized from the 1st January 2004 to the 31st December 2009. Suggestive clinical manifestations and a...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Gynecological Devices
Correia, L; Ramos, AB; Machado, AI; Rosa, D; Marques, CBackground: Performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on women with gynecological devices is a completely accepted practice. The goal of our review is to assess how safe it is to perform MRI on women using contraceptive implants or devices. Study Design: Literature review, searching in PubMed-Medline/Ovid for the following keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, intrauterine devices, Implanon® and Essure®. Resu...
Resultado do Obstétrico de Gravidezes Gemelares Resultantes de Fecundação in Vi...
Simões, T; Queirós, A; Correia, L; Dias, E; Campos, AIntroduction: Uncontrolled studies suggest that twins conceived by in vitro fertilization have increased rates of preterm birth and low birth weight and would warrant increased antenatal monitoring. The objective of this study was to compare the obstetric outcome of twin pregnancies conceived by in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and ovulation induction with those conceived sp...
Decisões clínicas na doença de Crohn
Magro, F; Correia, L; Lago, P; Macedo, G; Peixe, P; Portela, F; Ferreira, A; Gonçalves, R; et alIntroduction: Crohn s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease from gastrointestinal tract. The increase in incidence and heterogeneity of this pathology, with different presentations and prognostics leads to a constant concern in developing and improving its classification and treatment. Objectives: To establish recommendations (based on level of evidence and recommendation grades) to 5 questions considered ...
