Em contexto de urgência o Cardiopneumologista desempenha um papel fundamental pela realização de diversos meios complementares de diagnóstico e terapêutica. Entre estes surge o Ecodoppler Neurovascular, técnica ultrassonográfica inócua, não invasiva, de fácil aplicação, que permite a obtenção de um elevado número de achados clínicos, essenciais ao encaminhamento do doente em qualquer contexto clínico. Assim est...
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium malmoense is a nontuberculous mycobacteria seen mainly in two age groups and with different clinical presentations. Most patients are male adults presenting clinical symptoms and signs similar to those of pulmonary tuberculosis. The second group is formed by immunocompetent children with localized cervical lymphadenitis. Although cervical adenitis is the main extrapulmonary manifestati...
Aims: The aim of this work was to analyse the coagulant and antibacterial activities of lectin isolated from Moringa oleifera seeds that are used for water treatment. Methods and Results: The water-soluble M. oleifera lectin (WSMoL) was separated from nonhemagglutinating components (NHC) by chitin chromatography. WSMoL fluorescence spectrum was not altered in the presence of ions that are often present in hig...
The aim of this study was to determine if bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) transplantation is safe for moderate to severe idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Clinical trials have shown that this procedure is safe and effective for ischemic patients, but little information is available regarding non-ischemic patients. Twenty-four patients with IDC, optimized therapy, age 46 ± 11.6 years, 17 males, NYHA c...
O impacto da presença de anomalias morfológicas ovocitárias na fertilização e taxas de gravidez é um tema controverso na literatura. A presença de agregados tubulares de retículo endoplasmático liso (AT-REL) foi associada a taxas de gravidez mais baixas e a maior incidência de complicações obstétricas. A estrutura ultramiscroscópica destes AT-REL não está descrita. Este trabalho teve como objectivos: a) determi...
We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device. We concluded that an endovascular stent that can not be removed makes management of recurrent bacteremia difficult. Furthermore, back pain due to bacteremia is indicative of spondylodisc...
LUCIS, a demonstration project co-financed by the Innovation Agency in Portugal (AdI), was carried out in the framework of the DEMTEC Programme (Incentives to Technologically Innovative Pilot Systems). Its main goals were: Validate the reliability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) when used in practical situations and the competitive advantages that these solutions can represent compared to convent...
A região amazônica, pela sua formação geológica, não dispõe de rochas de fácil acesso para uso na construção civil; devido a isto, o seixo rolado é obtido da dragagem do leito dos rios, sendo o agregado graúdo comercialmente mais utilizado para a produção de concreto. Neste trabalho é apresentado um estudo das características e propriedades tecnológicas de duas massas cerâmicas utilizadas para produção de tijol...
Visceral Leishmaniasis is an endemic infection in Portugal, as well as in other Mediterranean basin countries, where it has become a frequent complication of HIV infection. There are several studies published about Leishmania/HIV co-infection, however some particularities of its epidemiology, pathogenesis and especially of its treatment and prophylaxis remain unclear and undefined. The authors review some aspec...
