Unfractionated Heparin in Ruptured Aortic Aneurysms – Narrative Review
F. Ribeiro, Tiago; Correia, Ricardo; Bento, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Bastos Gonçalves, Frederico; Amaral, CarlosINTRODUCTION: Portuguese estimates point out that nearly 20% of aortic aneurysms are treated in a ruptured setting, with in-hospital mortality reaching up to 50%. Although unfractionated heparin (UFH) is routine during elective surgery, this technical point is debatable when treating ruptured aneurysms. The authors aimed to review the literature on the topic of intraoperative heparinization with UFH within the ...
A Giant Arteriovenous Malformation of the Abdominal Wall
Figueiredo, Adriana; Gueifão, Inês; Fidalgo, Helena; Tavares, Carolina; Amaral, Carlos; Ferreira, Rita; Borges, Nuno; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaINTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high-fow anomalous connections between the arterial and venous systems composed of dysplastic vessels resulting from aberrant angiogenesis. They are congenital and when symptomatic they rarely manifest before adolescence. Depending on the location, size, stage and severity of the symptoms, treatment options vary from conservative management to surgical resect...
Diagnosis and Predictors of Post-Implantation Syndrome Following Endovascular R...
F. Ribeiro, Tiago; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Bento, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Cardoso, Joana; Bastos Gonçalves, Frederico; Amaral, Carlos; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaINTRODUCTION: After endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), many patients develop a systemic inflammatory response called post-implantation syndrome (PIS). AAA and procedure-related characteristics have been linked with increased odds of developing this syndrome. Similarly, some short- and long-term consequences have been associated with PIS. This study aims to review the literature on the diagnosis and predictors o...

Targeted therapy with sirolimus in vascular malformations – a case report
Gueifão, Inês; Amaral, Carlos; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Quintas, Anita; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaBACKGROUND: Vascular malformations are a heterogeneous group of vascular development disorders with historically few treatment options. Recent studies have shown the potential benefit of mTOR inhibitors—such as sirolimus—in their treatment, particularly in low-flow malformations. However, reports on their efficacy in highflow malformations are scarce and controversial. We report the case of a patient with a com...

Effects of anodal multichannel transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) o...
Pereira, H Catarina; Sousa, Daniela; Simões, Marco; Martins, Ricardo Filipe Alves; Amaral, Carlos; Lopes, Vânia; Crisóstomo, JoanaRecent studies suggest that temporoparietal junction (TPJ) modulation can influence attention and social cognition performance. Nevertheless, no studies have used multichannel transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over bilateral TPJ to estimate the effects on these neuropsychological functions. The project STIPED is using optimized multichannel stimulation as an innovative treatment approach for chroni...
BCIAUT-P300: A Multi-Session and Multi-Subject Benchmark Dataset on Autism for ...
Simões, Marco; Borra, Davide; Santamaría-Vázquez, Eduardo; Bittencourt-Villalpando, Mayra; Krzemiński, Dominik; Miladinović, Aleksandar; Schmid, ThomasThere is a lack of multi-session P300 datasets for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). Publicly available datasets are usually limited by small number of participants with few BCI sessions. In this sense, the lack of large, comprehensive datasets with various individuals and multiple sessions has limited advances in the development of more effective data processing and analysis methods for BCI systems. This is par...
The conscious experience of color constancy and neural responses to subliminal ...
Teixeira, Marta; Nascimento, S. M. C.; Almeida, Vasco; Simões, Marco; Amaral, Carlos; Castelo-Branco, MiguelIntroduction: Color constancy, a property of conscious color experience, maintains object color appearance across illuminant changes. We investigated the neural correlates of subliminal vs. conscious stimulus deviations of color constancy manipulations. Methods: Behavioral and Oddball EEG/ERP experiments were conducted (n = 20). Psychophysical illuminant variation discrimination thresholds were first estimated,...
