Prenatal Diagnosis and Management of a Fetal Goiter Hypothyroidism due to Dysho...
Figueiredo, C.; Falcão, I.; Vilaverde, J.; Freitas, J.; Oliveira, M.; Godinho, C.; Dores, J.; Rodrigues, M.; Carvalho, C.; Borges, T.Fetal goiter is a rare disorder not expected to be found during a healthy woman's pregnancy. It can be a prenatal manifestation of congenital hypothyroidism due to thyroid dyshormonogenesis and it can lead to serious perinatal complications. A vascularized fetal neck mass was detected at 29 weeks' gestation of a healthy primigravida. Magnetic resonance was suggestive of goiter causing airway deviation without p...
Recycling organic wastes to agricultural land as a way to improve its quality: ...
Alvarenga, P.; Palma, Patrícia; Mourinha, C.; Farto, M.; Dores, J.; Patanita, M.; Cunha-Queda, C.; Natal-da-Luz, T.; Renaud, M.; Sousa, J. P.A field study was established to assess the effects of a sewage sludge (SS), a mixed municipal solid waste compost (MMSWC) and a compost produced from agricultural wastes (AWC), in a Vertisol, using Lolium multiflorum L The amendments were applied for two consecutive years: 6, 12 and 24 t dry matter ha(-1) for SS, and the amendment doses for MMSWC and AWC were calculated to deliver the same amount of organic ma...
Impact of gestational weight gain on obstetric and neonatal outcomes in obese d...
Gante, I.; Amaral, N.; Dores, J.; Almeida, M.Both obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus are increasing in prevalence, being a major health problem in pregnancy with independent and additive impact on obstetrics outcomes. It is recognized that inadequate gestational weight gain is an independent risk factor for pregnancy-related morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gestational weight gain on obstetric and neonatal outcomes in ...
Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation: Complications and Readmissions in 9-Years of ...
Martins, L.; Henriques, A.C.; Dias, L.; Almeida, M.; Pedroso, S.; Freitas, C.; Pereira, S.; Fructuoso, M.; Dores, J.; Oliveira, F.; Almeida, R.ABSTRACT Over years, we have performed 93 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants (SPKT) The morbidity of this procedure is high compared with kidney transplantation alone; readmissions are frequent and costs are higher. Herein we have presented the complica- tions during follow-up of these 93 patients. Their mean age was 34 years and prior dialysis time was 32 25 months. The median hospital stay on the first...
SÍNDROME METABÓLICA NA GRAVIDEZ COMO FACTOR PREDITIVO DE OUTCOMES OBSTÉTRICOS E...
Teixeira, C.; Dores, J.O reconhecimento da Síndrome Metabólica (SM) durante a gravidez poderá ajudar a identificar um conjunto de mulheres que não só terão um risco aumentado para desenvolver complicações cardiovasculares e metabólicas mais tardiamente na vida, mas também, potencialmente, estarão em risco de desenvolver uma patologia relacionada com a gravidez. A implementação do rastreio da SM, na segunda metade da gravidez, poderá ...
Bone Mineral Density After Simultaneous Kidney–Pancreas
Pereira, S.; Pedroso, S.; Martins, L.; Santos, P.; Almeida, M.; Freitas, C.; Dias, L.; Dores, J.; Almeida, R.; Henriques, A.C.; Teixeira, M.ABSTRACT Bone disease and an high risk of fractures are major problems in transplantation. Among diabetic patients undergoing simultaneous kidney–pancreas (SKP) transplantation, there are few studies assessing long-term effects on bone mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) over 4 years follow-up after SKP transplantation. Fifty-seven patients had 22.8 5.3 years of prior diabete...
Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation and the Evolution of
Martins, L.; Malheiro, J.; Henriques, A.C.; Dias, L.; Dores, J.; Oliveira, F.; Seca, R.; Almeida, R.; Sarmento, A.M.; Cabrita, A.; Teixeira, M.ABSTRACT The recurrence or persistence of pancreatic autoantibodies after pancreas-kidney trans- plantation (PKT) is an intriguing finding. We prospectively analyzed 77 PKTs, searching for risk factors for the expression of these autoimmune markers and their impact on pancreas graft function. Among the 77 PKTs, 24.7% had HLA matches, 20.8% displayed delayed graft function, and 14.3% had acute rejection episode...
Steroid Withdrawal in Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation:
Malheiro, J.; Martins, La Salete; Fonseca, Isabel; Gomes, A.M.; Santos, J.; Dias, L.; Dores, J.; Oliveira, F.; Seca, R.; Almeida, R.; Henriques, A.ABSTRACT Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) is the treatment of choice for selected diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease. Maintenance steroid therapy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality among SPK transplant recipients. Steroid withdrawal regimens are becoming more common, albeit with reservations regarding its safety and efficacy. We performed retrospective review o...
