Analysis of crack growth behavior in a double cantilever beam adhesive fracture...
V. Richter-Trummer; E. A. Marques; F. J. P. Chaves; J. M. R. S. Tavares; L. F. M. da Silva; P. M. S. T. de CastroDouble cantilever beam (DCB) tests are common experiments in the field of adhesive fracture mechanics. During such an experiment, both the load and the crack length have to be monitored. Digital image processing techniques offer interesting possibilities in various fields of science. Automated analyses may significantly reduce the necessary manpower for certain cumbersome tasks. The analysis of large series of ...
Sheehan's syndrome.
Godinho, N; Serviço de Medicina, Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.; Lopes, J M; Augusto, V V; Eliseu, T; da Silva, P M; Bastos, H; Nobre, F LThe authors describe a case of Sheehan's syndrome that followed hemorrhagic complications due to late abortion, and emphasise the infrequency of changes in plasma lipid levels in this disease. They report a particular case of hypopituitarism and point out the main concepts of pathophysiology, diagnosis, therapeutics and complications that follow this increasingly rarer condition. ; The authors describe a case ...
Dystrophia myotonica.
Leite, A; Serviço de Medicina Interna, Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.; Eliseu, T; da Silva, P M; de Sousa, G; Bastos, H; Nobre, F LThe authors present two cases of myotonic dystrophy (Steinert's disease) with cardiac involvement in young adults. They point out the rareness of this disease, the multisystemic involvement and also the diagnostic problems in the absence of the classic clinical picture. ; The authors present two cases of myotonic dystrophy (Steinert's disease) with cardiac involvement in young adults. They point out the rarene...
Diagnostic criteria for primary dyslipidemia.
Da Silva, P M; Serviço de Medicina, Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.The accurate treatment of a dyslipidaemia is based on correct diagnosis. Together with the laboratory values. A good clinical interview, focusing on the family history, is the bases for a good diagnosis strategy. The author schematze the rules of etiological diagnosis of inherited defects of lipid metabolism. ; The accurate treatment of a dyslipidaemia is based on correct diagnosis. Together with the laborator...
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
da Silva, P M; Serviço de Medicina, Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.; Eliseu, T; Costa, M M; Bastos, H; Nobre, F LThe authors present a case of a nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, with progression to liver cirrhosis in an obese female patient. A review of the literature, possible evolution, and principle pathological processes involved is made. Attention is drawn to obesity as a risk factor in the progression of steatohepatitis and the advantage of performing liver biopsies in selected cases as a fundamental technique of diagn...
Hypertensive crises.
Da Silva, P M; Serviço de Medicina do Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.; Martins, J D; Nobre, F LThe goal of the accurate treatment of an hypertensive crisis is to reduce the critically elevated blood pressure to a safer level, in an hemodynamic point of view, although not necessarily normal. The authors stress that a prompt and correct diagnosis in distinguishing hypertensive emergencies from urgencies, in understanding its pathophysiology and the knowledge of available drugs is essential for a successful...
Somatostatin and SMS 201-995 (octreotide): clinical and therapeutic aspects.
da Silva, P M; Serviço de Medicina Interna, Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.; Augusto, FNowadays, the digestive system, must be considered as an actual endocrinous gland. The authors, after pointing out the pharmacological and immunomodulating actions of endogenous somatostatine, briefly describe a new synthetic octapeptid, somatostatine-analogue, with similar pharmacological effects (octreotide). Finally they stress the therapeutic trials in which the adverse effects, dosage and administration ha...
Biological rhythms in man. Particular aspects in medicine.
da Silva, P M; Serviço de Medicina, Hospital de Santa Marta, Lisboa.; Nobre, F LThe concepts of chronobiology and chronopharmacology have become more and more important in medical practice nowadays. Today, the circadian variation in blood pressure and heart rate as well as in the occurrence of acute cardiovascular disease is quite obvious (ischemia, infarction, stroke and sudden death). However, biological rhythms are also present in episodes of dyspnoea in nocturnal asthma, in hormonal pu...
