Aim We assessed the genital and extragenital prevalence of bacterial and other STIs in MSM in a Lisbon sexual health clinic. Methods We screened oral, anal, and urine samples of MSM visiting the GAT-CheckpointLX clinic June 2017-December 2021 for Chlamydia tracho...
Biochemical and Anthropometric Outcomes in Paediatric Patients with Heterozygou...
Peres, M; Moreira-Rosário, A; Padeira, G; Gaspar Silva, P; Correia, C; Nunes, A; Garcia, E; Faria, A; Teixeira, D; Calhau, C; Pereira-da-Silva, LThe COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns affected the lifestyles of children and adolescents, leading to an increase in childhood obesity. Paediatric patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may be more susceptible to lockdown effects due to their increased cardiovascular risk. However, data are lacking. We investigated the effect of lockdowns on the metabolic profile of paediatric patients with FH. Blood lipids...
Levosimendan in Outpatients with Advanced Heart Failure: Single-Center Experien...
Ferreira Reis, J; Gonçalves, A; Ilhão Moreira, R; Pereira-da-Silva, T; Timóteo, AT; Pombo, D; Carvalho, T; Correia, C; Santos, C; Cruz Ferreira, RIntroduction: Patients with advanced heart failure (HF) have high morbidity and mortality, with only a small proportion being eligible for advanced therapies. Intermittent outpatient levosimendan infusion has been shown to provide symptomatic relief and reduce the rate of HF events. Our aim was to assess the safety and efficacy of outpatient levosimendan administration in an advanced HF population. Methods: Thi...
Weaning Practices in Phenylketonuria Vary Between Health Professionals in Europe
Pinto, A; Adams, S; Ahring, K; Allen, H; Almeida, MF; Garcia-Arenas, D; Arslan, N; Assoun, M; Atik Altınok, Y; Barrio-Carreras, D; Belanger Quintana, AIn phenylketonuria (PKU), weaning is considered more challenging when compared to feeding healthy infants. The primary aim of weaning is to gradually replace natural protein from breast milk or standard infant formula with solids containing equivalent phenylalanine (Phe). In addition, a Phe-free second stage L-amino acid supplement is usually recommended from around 6 months to replace Phe-free infant formula. ...
Chlamydia Trachomatis: When the Virulence-Associated Genome Backbone Imports a ...
Borges, V; Cordeiro, D; Salas, AI; Lodhia, Z; Correia, C; Isidro, J; Fernandes, C; Rodrigues, AM; Azevedo, J; Alves, J; Roxo, J; Rocha, M; Côrte-Real, RChlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterium worldwide and the causative agent of trachoma. Its strains are classified according to their ompA genotypes, which are strongly linked to differential tissue tropism and disease outcomes [ocular disease, urogenital disease and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)]. While the genome-based species phylogenetic tree presents four main clades corr...

In vitro and in vivo performance of methacrylated gellan gum hydrogel formulati...
Vilela, CA; Correia, C; Morais, AS; Santos, TC; Gertrudes, AC; Moreira, ES; Frias, AM; Learmonth, DA; Oliveira, P; Oliveira, JM; Sousa, RAMethacrylated gellan gum (GGMA) formulation is proposed as a second‐generation hydrogel for controlled delivery of cartilage‐forming cells into focal chondral lesions, allowing immediate in situ retention of cells and 3D filling of lesion volume, such approach deemed compatible with an arthroscopic procedure. Formulation optimization was carried out in vitro using chondrocytes and adipose mesenchymal stromal/st...

Sousa, R; Correia, C; Valsassina, R; Moeda, S; Paínho, T; Oom, PINTRODUCTION: Children who visit emergency departments and leave without being seen represent a multifactorial problem. We aimed to compare the sociodemographic characteristics of children who left and of those who did not leave, as well as to evaluate parental reasoning, subsequent use of medical care and patient outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a prospective case-control study of a random sample of chi...
Early Feeding Practices in Infants with Phenylketonuria Across Europe
Pinto, A; Adams, S; Ahring, K; Allen, H; Almeida, MF; Garcia-Arenas, D; Arslan, N; Assoun, M; Atik Altınok, Y; Barrio-Carreras, D; Belanger Quintana, AIn infants with phenylketonuria (PKU), dietary management is based on lowering and titrating phenylalanine (Phe) intake from breast milk or standard infant formula in combination with a Phe-free infant formula in order to maintain blood Phe levels within target range. Professionals use different methods to feed infants with PKU and our survey aimed to document practices across Europe.
