Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from all the children who underwent MCS between 20...
Cardiomyopathy. Like Mother, Like Daughter? A New Phenotype for a MYH7 Mutation
Abreu, S; Trigo, C; Pinto, MFWe report the case of a six-year-old girl referred to our department due to her mother's diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Initial evaluation revealed restrictive physiology on echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Genetic analysis of both mother and daughter revealed the same genetic variant at the MYH7 gene. Notably, although the genetic mutation was the same, the phenotype differed, resulting...

Costa, R; Bastos, T; Probst, M; Seabra, A; Abreu, S; Vilhena, E; Rosenbaum, S; Ward, PB; Corredeira, RIn people with schizophrenia several factors are associated with poor quality of life (QoL), namely, lifestyle-related factors and psychological factors. However, there has been little research on the impact of these factors on QoL. Therefore, the relation between lifestyle-related factors, psychological factors, and QoL in people with schizophrenia was assessed. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 115 ...
Cancer Survivor Study (CASUS) on colorectal patients: longitudinal study on phy...
Soares-Miranda, L; Abreu, S; Silva, M; Peixoto, A; Ramalho, R; da Silva, PC; Costa, C; Teixeira, JP; Gonçalves, C; Moreira, P; Mota, J; Macedo, GPurpose: Evidence suggests that being physically active in combination with a healthy diet contributes to diminish colorectal cancer risk. However, if this is true for colorectal cancer primary prevention, the same is not clear for its recurrence after colorectal cancer treatments. Data on cancer survival are scarce, and there is a need for greater attention on these survivors’ lifestyle behavior. This manuscri...
