Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis Survey in Portuguese Allergy Departments

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Drug-induced anaphylaxis is an unpredictable and potentially fatal adverse drug reaction. The aim of this study was to identify the causes of drug-induced anaphylaxis in Portugal. METHODS: During a 4-year period a nationwide notification system for anaphylaxis was implemented, with voluntary reporting by allergists. Data on 313 patients with drug anaphylaxis were received and reviewed....

Multi-dimensional optimization of the incorporation of PCM-drywalls in lightwei...

This paper evaluates the impact of PCM-drywalls in the annual and monthly heating and cooling energy savings of an air-conditioned lightweight steel-framed (LSF) residential single-zone building, considering real-life conditions and several European climates. A multi-dimensional optimization study is carried out by combining EnergyPlus and GenOpt tools. The CondFD-algorithm is used in EnergyPlus to simulate pha...

Estudo da Variação Intradiária das Concentrações de Pólen de Gramíneas na Atmos...

Introdução: O pólen da família das Poaceae (gramíneas) é uma das principais fontes de aeroalergénios no mundo, particularmente na Europa Mediterrânica. Representa, por isso, um importante factor de risco de asma, rinite e/ou conjuntivite alérgica e constitui a principal causa de polinose em Portugal. Objectivo: Analisar a variação intradiária das concentrações de pólen de gramíneas na atmosfera das 5 estações d...

Ischemic rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle

We describe the case of a 59-year-old man who presented with chest pain and ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads, R>S in V1 and ST depression in the anterior leads due to proximal occlusion of the first obtuse marginal. Primary coronary angioplasty and stenting of this artery were performed. Twelve hours later the patient became hemodynamically unstable and severe mitral regurgitation due to rupture of on...

Aerobiologia do pólen de Olea europaea L. em Portugal Continental

Introdução: O pólen de oliveira (Olea europaea L.) constitui uma das fontes de aeroalergenos mais importantes na Europa Mediterrânica e em Portugal. Objectivos: Analisar a aerobiologia do pólen de Olea em Portugal Continental. Métodos: No estudo utilizaram-se os dados horários e diários das monitorizações de pólen de Olea efetuadas entre 2002 e 2012 de cinco estações de monitorização continentais da Rede Portug...

Anafilaxia induzida por fármacos: Registo Nacional 2007-2010

Introdução: A anafilaxia a fármacos constitui uma situação potencialmente fatal e imprevisível, desconhecendo-se a real prevalência em diferentes grupos populacionais e os factores de risco relacionados.Objectivo: Contribuir para o melhor conhecimento epidemiológico da anafilaxia induzida por fármacos no nosso país. Métodos: Durante um período de 4 anos (Janeiro de 2007 a Dezembro de 2010) foi implementado um s...
