In this work we report on an alternative synthesis of water-soluble fullerenes known as fullerols, aiming for biomedical applications. The synthesis is based on a process in which polyethylene glycol (PEG400) is used as phase-transfer catalyst between fullerene/benzene and aqueous NaOH solutions. The polyhydroxylation of the fullerenes occurs in the NaOH solution under a continuous flow of O2 to enhance the rea...
Turner's Syndrome was first described in 1938 by Henry Turner and has an incidence of 1:3000 live female births. The authors present an unusual case of a 48-year-old woman with late diagnosed Turner's Syndrome. Whose karyotype was (46,X,i(Xq)), associated with a pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary hypertension. The case and the methods of study are presented. Some aspects of this case, namely the hypothesis of an...
The authors present a retrospective study of medical records of patients with lung cancer, admitted at the Service 1 of Internal Medicine of Santo António dos Capuchos Hospital during a 12 year period (1978-1989). Of the 112 selected patients, 50% had histologic diagnosis, the remaining had strong clinical radiographic, endoscopic and/or autopsic evidence of pulmonary malignancy or malignant cytology in sputum,...
