Recommendations for the implementation of a national lung cancer screening prog...

Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) programs that use low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) have been shown to reduce LC mortality by up to 25 % and are considered cost-effective. The European Health Union has encouraged its Member States to explore the feasibility of LCS implementation in their respective countries. The task force conducted a com...

Multimodality Imaging in Connective Tissue Disease-Related Interstitial Lung Di...

Interstitial lung disease is a well-recognised manifestation and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with connective tissue diseases. Interstitial lung disease may arise in the context of an established connective tissue disease or be the initial manifestation of an otherwise occult autoimmune disorder. Early detection and characterisation are paramount for adequate patient management and requi...

Diabetes Gestacional: Avaliação dos Desfechos Maternos, Fetais e Neonatais

Este estudo pretendeu caracterizar uma população de grávidas com DG comparando-a com uma população obstétrica com rastreio de DG negativo. Material e Métodos: Realizámos um estudo observacional e retrospetivo, através da consult...

Thoracic Manifestations of Connective Tissue Diseases

Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) comprise several immunologic systemic disorders, each of which associated with a particular set of clinical manifestations and autoimmune profile. CTDs may cause numerous thoracic abnormalities, which vary in frequency and pattern according to the underlying disorder. The CTDs that most commonly involve the respiratory system are progressive systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus e...

The embolization of complicated renal angiomyolipoma.

A case of complicated renal angiomyolipoma with tumoral bleeding in a 44-year-old woman is presented. The contribution of angiography to the diagnosis helped clarify the degree of vascularity, and the contribution of embolization treatment (safe and well tolerated) is discussed.; A case of complicated renal angiomyolipoma with tumoral bleeding in a 44-year-old woman is presented. The contribution of angiography...

Embolização de Angiomiolipoma Renal Complicado

Apresenta-se um caso clínico de angiomiolipoma renal complicado por hemorragia, numa doente de 44 anos. Avalia-se o contributo diagnóstico e terapêutico da arteriografia, que neste caso permitiu uma apreciação rigorosa da vascularização das lesões e resolveu a situação hemorrágica através da embolização trans-catéter percutânea.

The use of endoprosthesis in superior vena cava syndrome caused by lung neoplasms.

We present six cases of superior vena cava syndrome caused by a malignant tumor that were treated by percutaneous endoprostheses. The technique is described and the results evaluated. In one case there was acute thrombosis of the endoprosthesis that was treated by urokinase. No other complications were observed. A patient died one month later due to progression of the tumor. The remaining cases were asymptomati...

Apresentam-se seis casos de síndrome da veia cava superior causado por neoplasia do pulmão e que foram tratados por endopróteses colocadas por via percutânea. Descreve-se a técnica e avaliam-se os resultados. Num caso ocorreu trombose aguda da endoprótese que foi tratada por uroquinase. Não se registaram outras complicações. Um doente faleceu 1 mês depois por progressão da doença. Os restantes mantinham-se sem ...
