Stent for Life in Portugal: This initiative is here to stay

AIMS: Portugal has one of the lowest rates of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI) in Western Europe. This study assessed the progress of Portuguese p-PCI performance indicators one year after Portugal joined the Stent for Life (SFL) initiative. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two national surveys were carried out, each covering a period of one month: the first when Portugal joined the SFL in 2011 (Moment Ze...

Internal iliac and uterine arteries Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of nor...

The objective of this work was to compare Doppler flows pulsatility index (PI) and resistance indexes (RI) of uterine and internal iliac arteries during pregnancy in low risk women and in those with stage-1 essential hypertension. From January 2010 and December 2012, a longitudinal and prospective study was carried out in 103 singleton uneventful pregnancies (72 low-risk pregnancies and 31 with stage 1 essentia...

A  -mercaptoethanol-modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of...

Two immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) versions using whole promastigotes of Leishmania infantum (syn. Leishmania chagasi) treated either with β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME-ELISA) or trypsin (TRYP-ELISA) as antigens were developed for the diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL). By comparison with the direct agglutination test (DAT; 100%, 31/31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 86.3–100%...

Tacrolimus, a forgotten agent in kidney transplant leukopenia

Leukopenia in kidney transplant patients is frequent, it causes potentially life-threatening complications, but it is often poorly characterized. Opportunistic infections, immunologic disturbances and drug-related toxicity are principal causes of single or multilineage cytopenias. Tacrolimus-induced leukopenia is a less recognized but frequent complication. We describe one patient with leukopenia developing wit...

Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation: Analysis of 150 patients from one Centre in Po...

Introduction: Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) outcomes are conditioned in the short-term mostly by post-operative complications. In the long-term, cardiovascular (CV) disease and immunological loss are the main limitations to transplant survival. Aims: To analyse retrospectively the results from 150 SPKT performed at our centre. Patients and Methods: The 81 females and 69 males had a mea...

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in kidney transplantation is an earl...

Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) has been suggested as potential early marker of delayed graft function (DGF) following kidney transplantation (KTx). We conducted a prospective study in 40 consecutive KTx recipients to evaluate serial changes of uNGAL within the first week after KTx and assess its performance in predicting DGF (dialysis requirement during initial posttransplant week) a...

Os Factores Genéticos na Perda Gestacional

Pregnancy loss is the most common obstetric complication. Multiple factors have been associated with recurrent or sporadic pregnancy loss, and genetic factors, particularly at earlier gestational ages, are the most important ones. The proportion of miscarriages due to chromosomal factors decreases with increasing gestational age. The most common chromosomal abnormalities in early losses are autosomal trisomies,...

The analysis of road accidents within the Municipal Emergency Plans and Civil Protection is critical for the prevention and mitigation of road accidents. This article presents the methodology and results of mapping accidents and dangerous road, using the Geographic Information System (GIS). The case study are the municipalities of Santo Tirso and Trofa, within the Oporto district and the data of road accidents ...

Base de dados geográfica dos meios de apoio à proteção civil e planeamento muni...

Civil Protection Local Means are a very important issue for Municipality Civil Protection Emergency Plans. So, it is crucial to have a detailed Geodatabase of the Civil Protection Local Means in order to produce a better and quick response in case of natural or technological hazard. In this work, we discuss the importance and the utility of a dynamic Geodatabase of Civil Protection Local Means, presenting the c...
