Impact of a daily legume-based meal on blood and anthropometric parameters in a...

This pilot study aimed to assess the impact of substituting a traditional lunch for a vegetarian legume-based meal on blood and anthropometric parameters in a group of omnivorous adults. A one-group comparison, quasi-experimental dietary intervention was designed. A vegetarian legume-based meal was offered for 8 consecutive weeks (weekdays) to non-vegetarian individuals (n = 26), (28 years [P25 = 20.0, P75 = 35...

Impact of a legumes diet on the human gut microbiome articulated with fecal and...

Background & aims: Legumes intake is known to be associated with several health benefits the origins of which is still a matter of debate. This paper addresses a pilot small cohort to probe for metabolic aspects of the interplay between legumes intake, human metabolism and gut microbiota. Methods: Untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics of blood plasma and fecal extracts was carried out, in tan...

The Prognostic Value of Histopathological Classifications in ANCA-Associated Va...

Renal involvement is a common and severe feature of ANCA-associated vasculitis, leading to end-stage kidney disease and death in a considerable number of patients. One of the challenges of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis is to establish histological features of prognostic value, in order to identify patients who will benefit of immunosuppression. Although the prognostic value of the renal biopsy in ANCA-asso...

Osteoarticular Infections in Infants Under 3 Months of Age

Background: Acute osteoarticular infections (OAI) in infants under 3 months of age (≤3M) are rare and remain a diagnostic challenge. Orthopedic complications and functional sequelae have been less well described in this age group. Our aims were to evaluate trends in aetiology, management, and outcomes of OAI ≤ 3M, and to compare these younger children who have OAI with older children. Methods: A longitudinal ob...

Osteomielitis Hematógena Aguda en Lisboa: Asociación con Miositis y Artritis In...

Introduction: Despite the current trend towards less aggressive therapeutic approaches, acute haematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) continues to be a challenge and is associated with significant morbidity worldwide. Our aim was to determine if 80% compliance with current protocol was achieved, identify complications and associated risk factors and analyse trends in aetiology and management of AHO in children. Metho...

Introduction: Despite the current trend toward less aggressive therapeutic approaches, acute haematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) continues to be a challenge and is associated with significant morbidity worldwide. Our aim was to assess whether compliance with the current protocol was achieved in 80% of cases, to identify complications and the associated risk factors, and to analyse trends in the aetiology and mana...

Avaliação Endoscópica das Alterações da Deglutição em Idade Pediátrica: Experiê...

As alterações da deglutição na criança afetam aproximadamente 1% das crianças/ano, nos Estados Unidos, sendo frequentemente subdiagnosticadas. O desenvolvimento de técnicas diagnósticas não invasivas tem permitido diagnósticos mais precisos, independentemente da idade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar a prevalência das alterações da deglutição e a necessidade de avaliação instrumental por videofuoros...

Bilateral Shoulder Arthritis in COVID-19 Patient After Prolonged Mechanical Ven...

Prolonged immobilization and, in particular, mechanical ventilation, have been linked to muscle atrophy. Anecdotal reports in the literature describe rhabdomyolysis as a potential late complication of COVID-19 infection which, in severe cases, may coexist with fluid collections. We report a case of a 28-year-old patient that had been recently hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, with need for invasive ventil...

COVID-19 in a Pediatric Cohort—Retrospective Review of Chest Computer Tomograph...

Background: Radiological features of the novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been mainly described in adults. Available literature states that imaging findings in children are similar but less pronounced. The aim of this study is to describe and illustrate the chest computer tomography (CT) features of pediatric COVID-19. Results: This retrospective study was based on the review of all the chest CTs ...
