INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease that must be managed in specialized centers; therefore, the availability of epidemiological national data is critical. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, observational, and multicenter registry with a joint collaboration from five centers from Portugal and included adult incident patients with PAH or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hyperte...
A utilização de microdados institucionais para fins de pesquisa tem sido crescente, com aplicações cada vez mais diversificadas e complexas. O uso deste tipo de dados tem auxiliado na fundamentação e explicação de alguns dos processos sociais mais relevantes da contemporaneidade. Neste âmbito, e decorridos mais de 10 anos desde que foi celebrado um Protocolo, em Portugal, que facultou essa possibilidade, analis...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Mauriac syndrome (MS) is a rare complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). It is related to low insulin concentrations and is less common since longer-acting insulins became available. It is characterized by hepatomegaly, growth and puberty delay, and the presence of elevated transaminases and serum lipids. The aim of this study was to describe the patients from a pediatric diabetic p...

Introduction: Several models have been developed with the purpose of predicting surgical risk of patients submitted to colorectal cancer surgery. However, to date, there isn’t any model that fulfills this purpose in a satisfactory manner. Methods: We consulted the clinical processes of 345 patients, who were submitted to surgical colorectal cancer treatment at the General Surgery department in Hospital de Braga...
We report a neonatal case of systemic pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 caused by a novel mutation in the SCNN1A gene (homozygous c.1052+2dupT in intron 3) in which the patient presented with life-threatening hyperkalemia, hyponatremia and metabolic acidosis. It remains uncertain if there is genotype-phenotype correlation, due to the rarity of the disease. This mutation, which to our best knowledge has not been de...
