Fifteen years of coronary intravascular ultrasound in percutaneous coronary int...
Azevedo Guerreiro, R; Fernandes, R; Campante Teles, R; Canas da Silva, P; Pereira, H; Cruz Ferreira, R; Costa, M; Seixo, F; Farto E Abreu, P; Pipa, JLINTRODUCTION: Coronary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is increasingly important in catheterization laboratories due to its positive prognostic impact. This study aims to characterize the use of IVUS in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Portugal. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed based on the Portuguese Registry on Interventional Cardiology of the Portuguese Society of Cardiol...

Guerreiro, C; Ferreira, PC; Teles, RC; Braga, P; Canas da Silva, P; Patrício, L; Silva, JC; Baptista, J; de Sousa Almeida, M; Gama Ribeiro, V; Silva, BIntroduction: The Portuguese National Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation records prospectively the characteristics and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in Portugal. Objectives: To assess the 30-day and one-year outcomes of TAVI procedures in Portugal. Methods: We compared TAVI results according to the principal access used (transfemoral (TF) vs. non-transfem...

Increased intraspecies diversity in Escherichia coli biofilms promotes cellular...
Azevedo, AS; Gerola, GP; Baptista, J; Almeida, C; Peres, J; Mergulhão, FJ; Azevedo, NFIntraspecies diversity in biofilm communities is associated with enhanced survival and growth of the individual biofilm populations. Studies on the subject are scarce, namely, when more than three strains are present. Hence, in this study, the influence of intraspecies diversity in biofilm populations composed of up to six different Escherichia coli strains isolated from urine was evaluated in conditions mimick...

Granuloma Glutaeale Infantum: A Re-emerging Complication of Diaper Dermatitis
Ramos Pinheiro, R; Matos-Pires, E; Baptista, J; Lencastre, AGranuloma gluteale infantum is a rare nodular complication of irritant diaper dermatitis. The association of this condition with the widespread use of nondisposable cloth diapers has been increasingly recognized. We present the case of an 18-month-old girl with granuloma gluteale infantum. Our aims are to emphasize the importance of clinical recognition of this re-emerging complication of diaper dermatitis and ...
Thrombus aspiration in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: result...
Pereira, H; Caldeira, D; Teles, RC; Costa, M; da Silva, PC; da Gama Ribeiro, V; Brandão, V; Martins, D; Matias, F; Pereira-Machado, F; Baptista, JBACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) in 'real-world' settings. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study, using data from the National Registry of Interventional Cardiology (RNCI 2006-2012, Portugal) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with P-PCI. The primary outcome, in-hospital mortality...

Laterality of Pneumonia in Acute Stroke
Alves, P; Silva, C; Baptista, J; Lima, B; Jacinto, M; Trigueiros, F; Martins, A; Melo, T; Fonseca, ACBACKGROUND/AIMS: Previous studies demonstrated an alteration of diaphragmatic excursion on the paretic side after stroke; however, it is unclear if this change has clinical repercussions. We aimed to determine if there was an association between the paretic side and the laterality of pneumonia after stroke. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of a consecutive cohort of patients admitted to a stroke unit from 2008...
