Strychnine Intoxication: A Case Report
Lage, A; Pinho, J; Alves, R; Capela, C; Lourenço, E; Lencastre, LStrychnine acts as an inhibitor of post-synaptic neuronal inhibition and intoxication leads to distinct clinical manifestations which may culminate in death. Since its commercialization is prohibited in most countries, cases of strychnine intoxication are now rare. We present a case of an elderly patient who voluntarily ingested a white powder thought to be strychnine. He developed myoclonus, startle response, ...

Water productivity and crop yield in five chickpea varieties – how important is...
Silva, LL; Duarte, I; Simões, N; Lourenço, E; Chaves, MMChickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important pulse crops in the world as a source of protein for human consumption. In Mediterranean regions, chickpea is traditionally grown as a rainfed crop, thus highly dependent on rainfall. In this situation, supplemental irrigation may be applied. The objective of our study was to evaluate the improvement in crop yield and water productivity with supplemental...
Evaluating chickpea genotypes for abiotic stress tolerance
Duarte, I; Silva, LL; Simões, N; Imtiaz, M; Lourenço, E; Chaves, MMBeing a leguminous crop chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is important for the establishment of sustainable and economically viable farming systems. Chickpea is grown and consumed across five continents, making this crop more important in international markets than other food legumes. Adaptation trials of 15 accessions of chickpea, 13 from the ICARDA collection and 2 from the Portuguese national catalogue, took pla...
Calibration and validation of SALTMED model under dry and wet year conditions u...
Silva, L.L.; Ragab, R.; Duarte, I.; Lourenço, E.; Simões, N.; Chaves, M.M.The SALTMED model is one of the few available generic models that can be used to simulate crop growth with an integrated approach that accounts for water, crop, soil, and field management. It is a physically based model using the well-known water and solute transport, evapotranspiration, and water uptake equations. In this paper, the model simulated chickpea growth under different irrigation regimes and a Medit...
Uma causa rara de paralisia facial periférica recorrente
Pinho, J; Rocha, S; Machado, A; Lourenço, ERecurrent peripheral facial palsy (PFP) is not uncommon and it is reported in 3 to 15% of idiopathic PFPs. Other etiologies include intracranial compressive tumors, parotid gland tumors or inflammation, recurrent otitis media, head trauma, multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, Lyme disease, HIV, and the rare Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS). The MRS is a non-necrotizing granulomatous disease charact...
Diversity in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis: case-based evidence
Pinho, J; Rocha, J; Rodrigues, M; Pereira, J; Maré, R; Ferreira, C; Lourenço, E; Beleza, PAntibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) are identified in the form of immune-mediated encephalitis in which typical manifestations include neuropsychiatric symptoms, seizures, abnormal movements, dysautonomia and hypoventilation. The authors report two cases of anti-NMDAR encephalitis with different presentations and patterns of progression. The first patient presented with status epilepticus a...

Filmes cintiladores baseados em oxissulfeto de gadolínio
Thiago de Lourenco e VasconcelosNeste trabalho, foi realizado um estudo sobre a influência da espessura de filmes cintiladores na intensidade de luz produzida por ele, tendo como motivação a otimização das propriedades desses filmes para aplicação em sistemas de imageamento de raios X na área medica. Para tanto, foram preparados filmes baseados em Gd2O2S pelo método de sedimentação e conformação mecânica. A caracterização da morfologia dos gr...
