Guiomar, Raquel; Pereira da Silva, Susana; Conde, Patrícia; Cristóvão, Paula; Maia, Ana Carina; Pechirra, Pedro; Rodrigues, Ana Paula; Nunes, BaltazarIntroduction: Immune profile for influenza viruses is highly changeable over time. Serological studies can assess the prevalence of influenza, estimate the risk of infection, highlight asymptomatic infection rate and can also provide data on vaccine coverage. The aims of the study were to evaluate pre-existing cross-protection against influenza A(H3) drift viruses and to assess influenza immunity in the Portugu...

Simão, Adélia; Silva, Raquel; Correia, Lurdes; Alves, Filipe Caseiro; Carvalho, Armando; Costa, J. M. NascimentoSorafenib is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with antiangiogenic and antiproliferative properties, approved for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It induces a significant increase in the median overall survival, despite a complete response to treatment being rare. We report a clinical case of a 60-year-old male with hepatic cirrhosis, Child-Pugh class A and performance status 0, an...
