T-cell branched glycosylation as a mediator of colitis-associated colorectal ca...
Leite-Gomes, E; Silva, MC; Dias, AM; Fernandes, Â; Faria, G; Nogueira, R; Santos-Pereira, B; Fernandes-Mendes, H; Azevedo, CM; Raposo, J; Portero, JLBackground and Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, established as a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Long-standing inflammation appears to play a central role in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). However, the molecular mechanism underlying CAC progression is still elusive. Previous evidence showed that levels of b...
Basilar Artery Occlusion Management: Specialist Perspectives From an Internatio...
Edwards, C; Drumm, B; Siegler, J; Schonewille, W; Klein, P; Huo, X; Chen, Y; Abdalkader, M; Qureshi, M; Strbian, D; Liu, X; Hu, W; Ji, X; Li, CBackground and purpose: Two early basilar artery occlusion (BAO) randomized controlled trials did not establish the superiority of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) over medical management. While many providers continue to recommend EVT for acute BAO, perceptions of equipoise in randomizing patients with BAO to EVT versus medical management may differ between clinician specialties. Methods: We conducted an intern...
Global Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Mortality
Nguyen, T; Qureshi, M; Klein, P; Yamagami, H; Abdalkader, M; Mikulik, R; Sathya, A; Mansour, O; Czlonkowska, A; Lo, H; Field, T; Charidimou, ABackground and purpose: Recent studies suggested an increased incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We evaluated the volume of CVT hospitalization and in-hospital mortality during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the preceding year. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study of 171 stroke centers from 49 countries...
Endovascular Therapy Versus No Endovascular Therapy in Patients Receiving Best ...
Berberich, A; Finitsis, S; Strambo, D; Michel, P; Herweh, C; Meyer, L; Hanning, U; Strbian, D; Abdalkader, M; Nogueira, R; Puetz, V; Kaiser, DBackground and purpose: Endovascular therapy (EVT) is increasingly reported for treatment of isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions although its clinical benefit remains uncertain. This study-level meta-analysis investigated the functional outcomes and safety of EVT and best medical management (BMM) compared to BMM alone for treatment of PCA occlusion stroke. Methods: We conducted a literature sear...
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: Antigen diversity and disease implications
Nogueira, R; Melo, N; Bastos, HN; Martins, N; Delgado, L; Morais, A; C, Mota, PHypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated syndrome triggered by inhalation of a wide variety of allergens, to which an individual has previously been sensitized. More than 200 agents responsible for the disease have already been identified; however, HP occurs only in a small number of individuals exposed to causal antigens. The present report provides an overview of the role of antigen role in HP,...
Mixoma endobrônquico: Caso clínico
Rolo, R; Pereira, R; Eisele, L; Ferreira, L; Nogueira, R; Cunha, JINTRODUCTION: Pulmonary myxoma is an extremely rare benign neoplasm. It is mostly parenchymal but may occasionally occur within the tracheobronchial tree. There are very few reports of endobronchial myxoma. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of endobronchial myxoma in a 40-year-old female patient with a history of asthma and repeated right-sided pneumonia. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) showed medium lobe atele...
