Dental pulp stem cells and Bonelike® for bone regeneration in ovine model
Campos, J; Sousa, A; Caseiro, A; Pedrosa, S; Pinto, P; Branquinho, M; Amorim, I; Santos, J; Pereira, T; Mendonça, C; Afonso, A; Atayde, L; Maurício, ADevelopment of synthetic bone substitutes has arisen as a major research interest in the need to find an alternative to autologous bone grafts. Using an ovine model, the present pre-clinical study presents a synthetic bone graft (Bonelike®) in combination with a cellular system as an alternative for the regeneration of non-critical defects. The association of biomaterials and cell-based therapies is a promising...
Pazopanib-Induced Cutaneous Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis: An Exclusion Diagnosis...
Costa, D; Almeida, S; Barata, P; Quintela, A; Cabral, P; Afonso, A; Silva, JIn phase II/III trials, cutaneous side effects of pazopanib were reported in less than 20% of patients, with only 1-3% being grade 3/4. We present a case of a 66-year-old man with a previous history of left nephrectomy for a stage II clear cell renal carcinoma. Approximately 18 months later, recurrent disease in the lungs, mediastinum, and left psoas and bulky abdominal/pelvic nodal metastasis were documented. ...

Chronology of mineralization of the permanent mandibular second molar teeth and...
Fins, P; Pereira, ML; Afonso, A; Pérez-Mongiovi, D; Caldas, IMForensic age estimation frequently relies upon the chronology of mineralization of the third molar teeth. However, even when present, third molar teeth cannot always be used for estimating age in people who are classified as minors. Seconds molars develop earlier and in a more predictable way, and therefore are often more reliable for age estimation in this age group. This study aims to contribute to forensic a...
