Using Pedal Acceleration Time To Predict Ischemic Wound Healing In Diabetic Pat...
Silva, Eduardo; Iglésias, Joana; Lima, Pedro; Antunes, Luís F.; Fonseca, ManuelAim: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the main factors for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), while also being associated with medial arterial calcification, thus limiting the use of the ankle-brachial index. Pedal acceleration time (PAT), has emerged as a diagnostic alternative, by measuring the systolic acceleration in the arteries of the foot, with higher PAT values corresponding to a worse prognosis and with the...
Blunt traumatic injuries of thoracic aorta and supra-aortic trunks - a narrativ...
Baldaia, Leonor; Antunes, Luís F.; Silva, Miguel; Silva, Eduardo; Nunes, Celso; Oliveira, Vânia C.; Silva, Joana; Fonseca, ManuelINTRODUCTION: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) as the first lin...
NEW ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS (NOACS) ARE THE GOLD STANDARD IN VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM
Antunes, Luís F.Introduction: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The risk of recurrence could be very high without thromboprophylaxis. New oral anticoagulants (NOACs or DOACs) represent a new step in anticoagulation. Material and Methods: We searched for papers with trials, systematic reviews and meta-analysis involving NOACs in the treatment and secondary prevention of VTE. We also ...
