Robotic Surgery in Conversion After Adjustable Gastric Banding
Ferreira, Mónica; Miranda, Carlota; Rodrigues, Sara; Nabais, Celso; Borges, Nuno; Albuquerque, António; Guerra, Anabela; Pereira, João; Manaças, LeonorAdjustable gastric banding has shown a high failure rate, with up to 60% of patients requiring conversion surgery. The most common indications include weight regain, associated comorbidities, local gastric band complications, reflux or dysphagia. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the procedures that has demonstrated the best long-term results in resolving reflux and esophagitis. The removal of the gastric ...
When asymmetry becomes “giant”: A Rare Case of Juvenile Fibroadenoma
Miranda, Carlota; Ferreira, Mónica; Carvalho, Sandra; Sampaio, Clara; Nunes, Susana; Morujão, Inês; Morgado, Carolina; Vitorino, CarlosJuvenile fibroadenoma account for approximately 4% of all fibroadenomas, and giant juvenile fibroadenomas are extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.5%. Fibroadenomas can reach large sizes, and surgical intervention poses an aesthetic challenge, particularly in developing breasts. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with rapid enlargement of the left breast. Physical examination revealed a lo...
Generation Z and travel motivations: The impact of age, gender, and residence
Ferreira, Mónica; Rebuá, Marina; Marques, Hugo; Marques, Jorge; Gomes, SofiaThis study investigates the relationship between demographic factors and travel motivations among Generation Z leisure tourists through the lens of the Travel Career Pattern (TCP) theory. More specifically, the research focuses on how gender, age, and area of residence influence the travel motivations of Generation Z. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 303 respondents aged 18 to 28 through ...

Indocyanine Green–Guided Robotic Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer: A St...
Ferreira, Mónica; Lencanstre, Luís; Bagnari, Inês; Martins, Pedro; Videira, José Flávio; Lara Santos, Lúcio; Abreu de Sousa, JoaquimThe treatment of locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma is based on a multimodal approach, including total mesorectal excision1. Robotic surgery provides a three-dimensional visualization, a stable image, and greater precision in pelvic dissection, allowing better control over critical structures2. The use of indocyanine green fluorescence enables real-time assessment of anastomotic perfusion, enhancing anastom...

AFTER-CA
Ferreira, Mónica; Silva Cunha, Pedro; Felix, Ana Clara; Fonseca, Helena; Oliveira, Mario; Laranjo, Sergio; Rocha, IsabelPublisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.; Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is a well-established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, its effects on autonomic function and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated autonomic and haemodynamic changes following CA and explored their potential implications for patient outcomes. Methods: Seventy-eight patients with AF u...
Orthostatic Stress and Baroreflex Sensitivity
Ferreira, Mónica; Laranjo, Sergio; Cunha, Pedro; Geraldes, Vera; Oliveira, Mário; Rocha, IsabelPublisher Copyright: © 2023 by the authors.; The abnormal neural control of atria has been considered one of the mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) pathogenesis. The baroreceptor reflex has an important role in cardiovascular regulation and may serve as an index of autonomic function. This study aimed to analyze the baroreceptor reflex’s role in heart rate regulation during upright tilt (HUT) in...

Physicians attitudes and knowledge concerning antibiotic prescription and resis...
Rodrigues, António; Ferreira, Mónica; Roque, Fátima; Falcão, Amílcar; Ramalheira, Elmano; Figueiras, Adolfo; Herdeiro, MariaBackground: Understanding physicians' antibiotic-prescribing behaviour is fundamental when it comes to improving antibiotic use and tackling the growing rates of antimicrobial resistance. The aim of the study was to develop and validate--in terms of face validity, content validity and reliability--an instrument designed to assess the attitudes and knowledge underlying physician antibiotic prescribing.
