Guidelines for the Management of Center-Involving Diabetic Macular Edema: Treat...
Figueira, J; Henriques, J; Carneiro, A; Marques-Neves, C; Flores, R; Castro-Sousa, JP; Meireles, A; Gomes, N; Nascimento, J; Amaro, M; Silva, RDiabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of visual impairment associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and macular laser, during approximately three decades, and was the single treatment option. More recently, intravitreous injections of anti-angiogenics and corticosteroids modified the treatment paradigm associated with significant vision improvements. Nevertheless, not all patients respond satisfactori...
A Nonrandomized, Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase 4 Pilot Study on the Effect and...
Figueira, J; Henriques, J; Amaro, M; Rosas, V; Alves, D; Cunha-Vaz, JPURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of ILUVIEN® in patients with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) who were insufficiently responsive to prior therapies. METHODS: This is a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, open-label, phase 4 pilot study assessing the effectiveness and safety of ILUVIEN® involving 12 patients insufficiently responsive to available therapies. Asse...

Laser fototérmico e sua interacção com a retina humana
Henriques, J; Nascimento, J; Rosa, P; Vaz, F; Amaro, MHá vários efeitos resultantes da interacção da luz laser com os tecidos biológicos que podemos classificar em 5 tipos: efeito fotoquímico, fototérmico, fotoablativo, fotoablação induzida por plasma e fotodisrupção. Estes efeitos biológicos são modelados pelas propriedades ópticas dos tecidos: reflexão, absorção e dispersão e pelas características do feixe laser, nomeadamente o seu comprimento de onda (cdo) que ...
Host- and microbe-related risk factors for and pathophysiology of fatal Rickett...
Sousa, R; França, A; Nóbrega, SD; Belo, A; Amaro, M; Abreu, T; Poças, J; Proença, P; Vaz, J; Torgal, J; Bacellar, F; Ismail, N; Walker, DBACKGROUND: The pathophysiologic mechanisms that determine the severity of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) and the host-related and microbe-related risk factors for a fatal outcome are incompletely understood. METHODS: This prospective study used univariate and multivariate analyses to determine the risk factors for a fatal outcome for 140 patients with Rickettsia conorii infection admitted to 13 Portuguese h...

Sousa, R; Ismail, N; Nóbrega, SD; França, A; Amaro, M; Anes, M; Poças, J; Coelho, R; Torgal, J; Bacellar, F; Walker, DBACKGROUND: The mechanisms of immunity to Rickettsia conorii that have been elucidated in mouse models have not been evaluated in human tissues. METHODS: In this study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the levels of expression of inflammatory and immune mediators in skin-biopsy samples collected from 23 untreated patients with Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF). RESULTS: In ...
