A Portuguese expert panel position paper on the management of heart failure wit...

In Portugal, a 15.2% prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was recently identified among those aged ≥50 years. HFpEF represents 90% of Portuguese heart failure patients. HFpEF management in Portugal is challenging due to patient heterogeneity, diagnostic and therapeutic complexity, and organizational constraints on the healthcare system. Considering the above, a panel of Portugues...

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects more than 50% of HF patients worldwide, and more than 70% of HF patients aged over 65. This is a complex syndrome with a clinically heterogeneous presentation and a multifactorial pathophysiology, both of which make its diagnosis and treatment challenging. A Portuguese HF expert panel convened to address HFpEF pathophysiology and therapy, as we...

Game on: direções futuras para gamificação em/para património cultural

O potencial da gamificação para o turismo e património cultural tem sido amplamente reconhecido, tanto nos círculos académicos como em comunidades de prática. Devido a este reconhecimento, tem havido nos últimos anos um crescente número de experiências e reflexões sobre a utilização de estratégias de gamificação para a interpretação, salvaguarda e desenvolvimento económico de bens culturais. À medida que o camp...

VEXAS Syndrome: What do we Know Two Years After its Discovery?

VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome was identified in 2020 by Beck et al, when analyzing the genome of 2560 patients with differenttypes of autoinflammatory manifestations. A literature review was carried out with the aim of disseminating existing scientific evidence and increasing the degree of clinical suspicion of the medical community. Currently, many mutations associat...

Introduction and objectives: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that is a significant burden in hospitalisations, morbidity, and mortality. Although a significant effort has been made to better understand its consequences and current barriers in its management, there are still several gaps to address. The present work aimed to identify the views of a multidisciplinary group of health care profess...

Establishment of an induced pluripotent cell line (ABCRIi001-A) from an elderly...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) hold promises to model and understand human diseases, including those associated with ageing. Here, we describe ABCRIi001-A, a hiPSC line generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 79-year-old female enrolled in a study for development of an ageing score (ALFA Score). PBMCs were reprogrammed using three Sendai virus-based reprogramming vectors (h...
