Patient and system delays in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome
Viana, M; Laszczyńska, O; Araújo, C; Borges, A; Barros, V; Ribeiro, AI; Dias, P; Maciel, MJ; Moreira, I; Lunet, N; Azevedo, AIntroduction Early reperfusion for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is indicated by the European Society of Cardiology, while a timely invasive strategy is recommended for patients with high-risk and intermediate-risk non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). This study aims to assess patient and system delays according to diagnosis and risk profile, and to identify p...
Use of drug-eluting vs. bare-metal stents after an acute coronary syndrome in P...
Barros, V; Pereira, M; Araújo, C; Braga, P; Azevedo, AINTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The interventional cardiologist chooses a specific stent type based on the risk-benefit profile for each case. In general, drug-eluting stents should be considered in all clinical conditions, except if there are concerns or contraindications for prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy. The aim of this work was to describe the use of bare-metal vs. drug-eluting stents in patients undergo...
Spoligtyping e polimorfismo do gene pncA: um cenário em duas etapas para o diag...
David, S; Portugal, C; Antunes, A; Calado, A; Cardoso, A; Barros, V; Sancho, L; Sousa, JGThe differential diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis is important in the control of transmission to the human population and also for treatment since M. bovis is naturally resistant to pyrazinamide. Eleven clinical isolates from the Fernando Fonseca Hospital with Spoligotypes indicative of M. bovis, through the absence of spacers 39-43 but that also counted with the absence of spacer 38, were analyzed. For the ide...
Novos dados sobre os Spoligotypes de estirpes do complexo Mycobacterium tubercu...
David, S; Barros, V; Portugal, C; Antunes, A; Cardoso, A; Calado, A; Sancho, L; Sousa, JGO presente estudo populacional, que decorreu entre 1999 e 2003, foi baseado na utilização do Spoligotyping na genotipagem de 452 isolados do complexo Mycobacterium tuberculosis de doentes com tuberculose internados no Hospital Fernando Fonseca. Spoligotypes foram identificados como shared types (ST) recorrendo a uma base de dados internacional. Onze ST raros, não identificados na base de dados, acomodaram 8,4% ...
Identificação molecular pelo método de Spoligotyping de estirpes do complexo My...
David, S; Portugal, C; Antunes, A; Cardoso, A; Calado, A; Barros, V; Sancho, LSpoligotyping was used in the genotyping of 219 isolates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, from patients of the Hospital Fernando Fonseca. This technique, based on PCR methodology, analyses a region of the chromosome specific of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, the DR locus (Direct Repeat). With the aid of an international database, we showed that the predominant Spoligotypes belonged to the LAM...
