Central airway obstruction: is it time to move forward?
Guedes, F; Branquinho, MV; Sousa, AC; Alvites, RD; Bugalho, A; Maurício, ACIntroduction Central airway obstruction (CAO) represents a pathological condition that can lead to airflow limitation of the trachea, main stem bronchi, bronchus intermedius or lobar bronchus. Main body It is a common clinical situation consensually considered under-diagnosed. Management of patients with CAO can be difficult and deciding on the best treatment approach represents a medical challenge. This work i...
Assessment of a Large-Scale Unbiased Malignant Pleural Effusion Proteomics Stud...
Zahedi, S; Carvalho, AS; Ejtehadifar, M; Beck, HC; Rei, N; Luís, A; Borralho, P; Bugalho, A; Matthiesen, RBackground: Pleural effusion (PE) is common in advanced-stage lung cancer patients and is related to poor prognosis. Identification of cancer cells is the standard method for the diagnosis of a malignant PE (MPE). However, it only has moderate sensitivity. Thus, more sensitive diagnostic tools are urgently needed. Methods: The present study aimed to discover potential protein targets to distinguish malignant pl...
Lung and Intercostal Upper Abdomen Ultrasonography for Staging Patients with Ov...
Stukan, M; Bugalho, A; Kumar, A; Kowalewska, J; Świetlik, D; Buda, N; Pietrzak-Stukan, M; Dudziak, MA detailed transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound examination, performed by an expert examiner, could render a similar diagnostic performance to computed tomography for assessing pelvic/abdominal tumor spread disease in women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study aimed to describe and assess the feasibility of lung and intercostal upper abdomen ultrasonography as pretreatment imaging of EOC metas...

Guedes, F; Boléo-Tomé, JP; Rodrigues, LV; Bastos, HN; Campainha, S; Santis, M; Mota, L; Bugalho, ACoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a novel SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. Its capacity for human-to-human transmission through respiratory droplets, coupled with a high-level of population mobility, has resulted in a rapid dissemination worldwide. Healthcare workers have been particularly exposed to the risk of infection and represent a significant proportion of COVID-19 cases...

Endobronchial Ultrasound under Moderate Sedation versus General Anesthesia
Fernandes, MG; Santos, VF; Martins, N; Sucena, MC; Passos, MM; Marques, MM; Magalhães, AM; Bugalho, ABACKGROUND: Different anesthetic protocols may influence endobronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) outcomes, patient comfort, and even safety. In this study, two anesthesia techniques were assessed and compared for EBUS-TBNA. METHODS: A prospective, multicenter study was carried out. Patients were allocated to Group 1 (general anesthesia with neuromuscular blockade and controlled ventilation...
