Stereotactic body radiotherapy in primary lung disease: Experience of a portugu...
Travancinha, Catarina; Ferreira, Nelson; Barroso, Raquel; Esteves, Susana; Labareda, Miguel; Fonseca, João; Antunes, TelmaBackground: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is the primary alternative to surgery for patients with clinical stage I or II non -small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have significant comorbidity that precludes safe resection and for those who refuse surgery. Methods: Patients with clinical stage I or II NSCLC treated with SBRT in our institution between January 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectivel...
Prognosis of polymerase epsilon (POLE) mutation in high-grade endometrioid endo...
Casanova, Joao; Duarte, Gonçalo Silva; da Costa, Ana Gomes; Catarino, Ana; Nave, Mónica; Antunes, Telma; Serra, Sofia Silvério; Dias, Sara SimõesBackground. POLE mutated endometrial carcinomas may represent a subspecific type of tumors harboring a more favorable prognosis. Grade 3 (G3 or high-grade) endometrioid endometrial carcinomas remain a clinical dilemma, with some tumors behaving as the low-grade counterparts and others presenting a more aggressive behavior. Objectives. To determine the association between POLE mutational status and the overall-s...
Interaction between intra-abdominal pressure and positive-end expiratory pressure
Torquato, Jamili Anbar; Lucato, Jeanette Janaina Jaber; Antunes, Telma; Barbas, Carmen ValenteOBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to quantify the interaction between increased intra-abdominal pressure and Positive-End Expiratory Pressure. METHODS: In 30 mechanically ventilated ICU patients with a fixed tidal volume, respiratory system plateau and abdominal pressure were measured at a Positive-End Expiratory Pressure level of zero and 10 cm H2O. The measurements were repeated after placing a 5 kg weight...
