Introdução: Apesar da integridade morfológica e funcional do endotélio corneano, essencial para a transparência corneana, ser afetada com a Diabetes Mellitus (DM) a sua relação com severidade de retinopatia diabética e presença de edema macular diabético não é clara. Objetivos: Avaliar as características morfológicas do endotélio corneano em doentes com Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 (DMT2) com diferentes perfis de r...
Leishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...
ntellectual development disorder, autosomal dominant 43 (MRD43) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the HIVEP2 gene. In this report, we describe a case of a 4-year-old boy with global development delay, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features, in whom the finding of a heterozygous nonsense pathogenic variant in exon 5 of HIVEP2 [c.2827C>T p. (Arg943*)] through WES established a MRD4...
O EAMcSST posterior isolado é pouco comum (3-11% dos casos) e o seudiagnóstico eletrocardiográfico requer sensibilidade e perspicácia, dada a ausência de um supradesnivelamento óbvio do segmento ST à primeira vista.
The identification of bilateral ground-glass opacifications on thoracic computed tomography (CT) in the COVID-19 ongoing pandemic, supports the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although COVID-19 pneumonia may present with this typical imaging pattern, itis importantto highlightthat even in an acute clinical setting this pattern it is a non-specific imaging finding and other conditions such as pulmonary oedema...
Translocations involving the short arms of the X and Y in human chromosomes are uncommon. One of the primary functions of the X and Y chromosomes is gender phenotype determination. Here we report a newborn female with ambiguous genitalia and abnormal X chromosome. Karyotype was performed using the standard methods and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) directed for the SRY gene was used for confirmation ...
Cement & Concrete Composites 45 (2014) 264–271; This work evaluates the influence of binder:aggregate ratio on the mineralogical and mechanical properties of air lime–metakaolin mortars. Mineralogical analysis showed that binder:aggregate ratio affects the extent of carbonation and pozzolanic reactions with curing. The pozzolanic reaction occurs mostly at lower curing times (28 days), while, at higher curing ag...
CIRea2012 - Conferência Internacional sobre Reabilitação de Estruturas Antigas de Alvenaria, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 4 Maio 2012, 29-38; A nova versão da norma NP EN 459-1:2011 de cais de construção apresenta uma nova classificação das cais com propriedades hidráulicas. Esta situação impõe uma reclassificação e, por vezes, uma reformulação de muitas cais hidráulicas que, segundo a versão anterior da norma ...
Intern.Conference AZULEJAR, Univ. Aveiro, 10-12 October 2012; Bearing in mind the need to repair ceramic tile facade, that were traditionally applied by a lime-based mortar, an experimental campaign was held in order to characterize over time mortars made with two types of lime - an air lime EN 459-1 CL90-S and a recently classified EN 459-1 NHL3.5. The influence of different binder: aggregate proportions on mo...
