Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation with Prena...
Barroso, Catarina; Felizes, Andreia; Silva, Ana Raquel; Braga, Inês; Gonçalves, Marta; Salgado, Helena; Gonçalves, Augusta; Cadilhe, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) are increasingly diagnosed in the prenatal period raising concerns on the post-natal management of asymptomatic cases. Favoring early resection are the concepts of better compensatory lung growth, and prevention of long-term risk of infection and malignancy. Our aim was to review the results of our conduct over the years, in which we promote early t...
Single Fetal Death in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancy: Co-Twin Prognosis and Neona...
Vale-Fernandes, Emídio; Dias, Joana; Gil, Belandina; Cadilhe, AlexandraThe incidence of single fetal death in twin pregnancy varies from 0.5% - 6.8%, leaving the surviving fetus with increased morbi-mortality. The prognosis is worse in monochorionic pregnancies. In addressing these cases it should be noted referral to tertiary center with differentiated perinatal support, induction of fetal lung maturation and termination of pregnancy if there’s loss of fetal well-being or possibi...
Uterine Rupture at 18 Weeks of Pregnancy in the Context of Malformed Uterus

The authors report the case of an obstetric emergency which enhances the possibility of a very adverse and rare outcome of uterine rupture in a left hemi-cavity of a bicornuate uterus away from the te...
Non-invasive fetal RhD genotyping – economic impact on antenatal Rh isoimunizat...
Miranda, Alexandra Sofia Lopes; Ferreira, Marta; Castro, Luís; Cadilhe, Alexandra; Pena, Domingos Jardim daOverview and Aims: The introduction of antenatal RhD isoimmunization prophylaxis was of utmost importance in decreasing the prevalence of perinatal haemolytic disease. Noninvasive genotyping of fetal RhD group from mothers' plasma allows administration of anti-D immunoglobulin only to pregnant women with RhD positive fetuses. Aim: To analyse the economic impact of this technique in a population of nonisoimmuniz...
