Using nitrogen concentration and isotopic composition in lichens to spatially a...
Pinho, P; Barros, C; Augusto, S; Pereira, MJ; Máguas, C; Branquinho, CReactive nitrogen (Nr) is an important driver of global change, causing alterations in ecosystem biodiversity and functionality. Environmental assessments require monitoring the emission and deposition of both the amount and types of Nr. This is especially important in heterogeneous landscapes, as different land-cover types emit particular forms of Nr to the atmosphere, which can impact ecosystems distinctively...

The current study is the continuation of this work, although it focus...
Ovarian Ectopic Pregnancy in Adolescence
Gonçalves Andrade, A; Rocha, S; Marques, C; Simões, M; Martins, I; Biscaia, I; Barros, COvarian pregnancy is one of the rarest types of extrauterine pregnancy. Its preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge since it presents quite similarly to tubal pregnancy and complicated ovarian cysts. Although in most cases, histology is necessary to confirm the diagnosis, we present an ovarian pregnancy in a teenager, correctly diagnosed during ultrasound examination.
A Rare Abdomino-Pelvic Tumor: Paraganglioma
Pedroso, C; Robalo, R; Sereno, P; Barros, C; Marques, CParagangliomas are rare tumors, with a reported incidence of 2–8 per million. They are chromaffin cell tumors that develop from the neural crest cells and may be divided in tumors derived from the parasympathetic or sympathetic ganglia. We report a case a of a 32-year-old nulliparous woman, referred to our Infertility Clinic. Abdomino-pelvic ultrasound identified a large abdominopelvic tumor, without ovarian or...

Amaral, P; Silva, A; Lacerda, A; Barros, COvarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancy in developed countries. Synchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian cancer in patients appears with different clinical characteristics compared to patients with isolated endometrial cancer. A 34-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain of 1 year duration presented at the emergency department. On gynaecological examination, she had ...
