INTRODUCTION: ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABOi LT) is considered to be a rescue option in emergency transplantation. Herein, we have reported our experience with ABOi LT including long-term survival and major complications in these situations. PATIENT AND METHODS: ABOi LT was performed in cases of severe hepatic failure with imminent death. The standard immunosuppression consisted of basiliximab, c...
INTRODUCTION: In 1963, based on biomechanics studies, Maquet proposed the advancement of the patellar tendon insertion as a mean of treating patellofemoral pain. The rationale for this procedure was a reduction in the patellofemoral compression force vector by changing the angular relationship between patella tendon and quadriceps tendon. One of the additional procedures, on a malalign knee, was performing a cu...
The electroluminescence yield was studied for xenon gas as a function of the electric field in the scintillationregion, for room temperature using a gas proportional scintillation counter. A large area avalanche photodiode was used for the readout of the VUV secondary scintillation produced in the gas, together with the 5.9-keV x-rays directly absorbed in the photodiode. Using the latter as a reference for the ...
We present the recent results regarding the application of cascades of GEMs and a MHSP in the detection and imaging of X-rays and UV-photons. The imaging system tested consisted in a micropattern gas detector based in multi-GEM or multi-GEM/MHSP electron multipliers, a 20´20 mm2 Wedge & Strip (W&S) readout electrode with 1.6 mm pitch positioned below and at close distance of a resistive electrode,...
A complexidade de forças geradas a nível da articulação patelo-femoral foi ilustrada por Maquet (1963). Este propôs uma cirurgia (avanço da tuberosidade anterior da tíbia) em que diminuía a força resultante a nível patelo-femoral e femoro-tibial. Mal amada pelas complicações (2 a 59%), acabou por ser abandonada. Este trabalho pretende avaliar os resultados funcionais e radiológicos a longo prazo de modo a deter...
Coventry, Maquet e outros demonstraram que as osteotomias da tíbia proximal são uma opção no tratamento da gonartrose unicompartimental. Com o avanço no desenho protésico e instrumentais mais precisos, a Artroplastia Total do Joelho (ATJ) é hoje o tratamento de eleição da pangonartrose sintomática. Contudo, o tratamento da artrose medial ou lateral combinada com artrose patelo-femoral, em estadios iniciais e em...
An Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) imaging system based on a Micropattern Gas Detector has already shown good results for di erent applications. An X-ray tube, a pinhole camera and a Micro-Hole and Strip Plate (MHSP) based detector are the main components of the experimental system. The detector uses an MHSP in a Xe atmosphere at 1 bar, acting as a photon counting device, i.e., it is capable to rec...
RESUMO A drenagem venosa pulmonar anómala total (DVPAT) é uma cardiopatia congénita rara em que as veias pulmonares não apresentam a normal conexão à aurícula esquerda. A sua classificação relaciona-se com o local de ligação. Na sua variante obstrutiva, tem uma evolução rapidamente fatal na ausência de tratamento cirúrgico emergente. Apresenta-se o caso clínico de um recém-nascido que iniciou dificuldade respir...
