Camara, Raquel Paulinetti; Coelho, Francisco das Neves; Cruz-Martins, Natália; Marques-Alves, Patricia; Castro, Graça; Baptista, Rui; Ferreira, FilipaIntravenous synthetic prostacyclin analogs (iPCAs), such as epoprostenol, treprostinil and iloprost have been widely used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Despite having good outcomes, continuous infusion of iPCAs has been associated with some adverse effects. Bloodstream infection (BSI) is one of the most severe complications, although poorly recognized, especially under iloprost adm...

Soares, Sílvia; Guerreiro, Susana G; Cruz-Martins, Natália; Faria, Isabel; Baylina, Pilar; Sales, Maria Goreti; Correa-Duarte, Miguel AIn the last years, extensive investigation on miRNomics have shown to have great advantages in cancer personalized medicine regarding diagnosis, treatment and even clinical outcomes. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common male cancer and about 50% of all PCa patients received radiotherapy (RT), despite some of them develop radioresistance. Here, we aim to provide an overview on the mechanisms of miRNA ...
