The impact of small-group virtual patient simulator training on perceptions of ...
Mestre, André; Muster, Marek; El Adib, Ahmed Rhassane; Ösp Egilsdottir, Hugrun; Byermoen, Kirsten Røland; Padilha, José Miguel Santos CastroBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated rapid changes in medical education to protect students and patients from the risk of infection. Virtual Patient Simulators (VPS) provide a simulated clinical environment in which students can interview and examine a patient, order tests and exams, prioritize interventions, and observe response to therapy, all with minimal risk to themselves and their patients. ...
Exercise stress echocardiography: Where are we now?
Cotrim, Carlos Alberto; Café, Hugo; João, Isabel; Cotrim, Nuno; Guardado, Jorge; Cotrim, Hortense; Cordeiro, Pedro; Baquero, LuisExercise stress echocardiography (ESE) is a widely used diagnostic test in cardiology departments. ESE is mainly used to study patients with coronary artery disease; however, it has increasingly been used in other clinical scenarios including valve pathology, congenital heart disease, hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies, athlete evaluations, diastolic function evaluation, and pulmonary circulation study. ...

Plasmatic Klotho and FGF23 levels as biomarkers of CKD-associated cardiac disea...
Silva, Ana; Mendes, Filipa; Carias, Eduarda; Gonçalves, Rui; Fragoso, André; Dias, Carolina; Tavares, Nelson; Café, Hugo; Santos, Nélio; Rato, FátimaBackground: Research over the past decade has focused on the role of Klotho as a cardio protective agent that prevents the effects of aging on the heart and reduces the burden of cardiovascular disease CVD. The role of the interaction between fibroblast growth factor 23-(FGF-23)/Klotho in Klotho-mediated actions is still under debate. The main objective was to ascertain the potential use of plasmatic Klotho and...

Mendonça, Isabel; Reis, Roberto Palma dos; Pereira, Andreia; Café, Hugo; Serrão, Marco; Sousa, Ana Célia; Freitas, Ana Isabel; Guerra, GraçaIntrodução: Estudos recentes de associação genómica em larga escala (GWAS) identificaram vários polimorfismos de um único nucleótido (SNP), localizados no locus 9p21, associados com doença arterial coronária (DAC). De entre eles o SNP rs1333049 demonstrou uma associação consistente com a DAC tendo sido reproduzida, com sucesso, em várias populações. Objectivo: Investigar se a nova variante rs1333049, no cromoss...
