Peritoneal and hepatic hydatid disease causing major bile duct destruction

Echinococcosis is endemic in Mediterranean regions and is found primarily in the liver. Biliary fistula is a common complication, but major biliary duct involvement is very rare, and occurs in 0.47% of patients with hepatic hydatid disease. Cyst rupture causing secondary peritoneal hydatidosis is a rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 27-year-old man with multiple peritoneal and hepatic hydati...

Environmental effects on the recruitment variability of nursery species

The recruitment variability of the marine fish species Dicentrarchus labrax, Platichthys flesus and Solea solea was evaluated in the Mondego estuary (Portugal) from 2003 to 2007. The relationships between sea surface temperature, NAO index, coastal wind speed and direction, precipitation and river runoff prior to the estuarine colonization and the abundance of 0-group fish were evaluated using gamma-based Gener...

Bezoar gástrico e intestinal: caso clínico e revisão da literatura

Os bezoars gastrointestinais são achados relativamente raros, apresentando uma variação regional na sua distribuição relacionada com diferenças na ingestão de alimentos ricos em fibras. A sua verdadeira incidência é desconhecida. A sua ocorrência apresenta uma tendência crescente, em provável relação com a maior taxa de cirurgias gastroduodenais realizadas no último século, consideradas factores de risco para a...

Jejuno-jejunal invagination caused by epithelioid sarcoma: a case report

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare histologic subtype of sarcoma and few cases have been published. CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with vomiting and anemia. A jejuno-jejunal invagination was diagnosed and the patient un...

Estuarine production of resident and nursery fish species: Conditioning by drou...

The production of resident (Pomatoschistus minutus and Pomatoschistus microps) and marine juvenile fish species using the Mondego estuary (central Portugal) as nursery grounds (Dicentrarchus labrax, Platichthys flesus, Solea solea), was assessed in order to: (1) understand the potential of the estuary for fish production; (2) know the production of nursery fish species likely to be exported to the coastal stock...

Systematic head and neck physical examination as a predictor of obstructive sle...

Our aim was to determine if anatomical abnormalities of the upper airway (UA) and facial skeleton of class III severely obese patients are related to the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Forty-five patients (69% females, mean age 46.5 ± 10.8 years) with a body mass index (BMI) over 40 kg/m² underwent UA and facial skeletal examinations as well as polysomnography. Mean BMI was 49...
