Neonatal Acute Compartment Syndrome as First Manifestation of Hematologic Disea...
Sacras, ML; Ladeira, C; Carmo, S; Kjöllerström, PHemophilia A, characterized by deficiency of functional plasma clotting factor VIII, is an X-linked disorder. Signs and symptoms depend on factor VIII levels. Severe hemophilia A (factor levels less than 1%) is usually diagnosed in the first two years of life. Pediatric compartment syndrome is most associated with trauma, but infectious and vascular causes must also be considered. We report a case of a newborn ...
Randomized Clinical Trial of Balloon Occlusion versus Conventional Microcathete...
Bilhim, T; Costa, NV; Torres, D; Pisco, J; Carmo, S; Oliveira, APurpose: To compare balloon occlusion prostatic artery embolization (bPAE) with conventional microcatheter PAE (cPAE). Materials and methods: In this single-center trial, between November 2017 and November 2018, 89 patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia were randomly assigned to cPAE (n = 43) or bPAE (n = 46). All patients received embolization with 300-500 μm Embosphere microspheres and were ev...
Associated Malformations in Children with Orofacial Clefts in Portugal: A 31-Ye...
Pereira, A; Fradinho, N; Carmo, S; de Sousa, J; Rasteiro, D; Duarte, R; Leal, MJBACKGROUND: Orofacial clefts are among the most common congenital craniofacial malformations and may be associated with other birth defects. However, the proportion and type of additional anomalies vary greatly between studies. This study assessed the prevalence and type of associated congenital malformations in children with orofacial clefts, who attended the largest cleft lip and palate tertiary referral cent...

The Utility of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values in the Risk Stratification...
Lopes Dias, J; Magalhães Pina, J; Vasco Costa, N; Carmo, S; Leal, CPurpose: To evaluate the relationship between mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and post-surgical Gleason scores. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) on a 1.5 T magnet in distinguishing low, intermediate and highgrade prostate tumors. Material and methods: This is a retrospective institutional-review-board-approved, singlecenter study including 30 ...
Mitchell-Riley Syndrome: A Novel Mutation in RFX6 Gene
Zegre Amorim, M; Houghton, JAL; Carmo, S; Salva, I; Pita, A; Pereira-da-Silva, LA novel RFX6 homozygous missense mutation was identified in an infant with Mitchell-Riley syndrome. The most common features of Mitchell-Riley syndrome were present, including severe neonatal diabetes associated with annular pancreas, intestinal malrotation, gallbladder agenesis, cholestatic disease, chronic diarrhea, and severe intrauterine growth restriction. Perijejunal tissue similar to pancreatic tissue wa...
Prostate Cancer: The Role of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Lopes Dias, J; Pina, J; João, R; Fialho, J; Carmo, S; Leal, C; Bilhim, T; Mateus Marques, R; Campos Pinheiro, LMultiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been increasingly used for detection, localization and staging of prostate cancer over the last years. It combines high-resolution T2 Weighted-Imaging and at least two functional techniques, which include Dynamic Contrast–Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Spectroscopy. Although the combined use of a pelv...

Persistência da Veia Cava Superior Esquerda Associada a Atresia do Esófago - Re...
Knoblich, M; Silva, A; Ladeira, C; Carmo, S; Murinello, R; Casella, PObjectivos: A atresia do esófago está associada a uma variedade de malformações congénitas de outros órgãos. A persistência da veia cava superior esquerda e uma das malformações venosas torácicas mais comuns, ocorrendo em 0,3% da população. O objectivo deste estudo é caracterizar a persistência da veia cava superior esquerda nos doentes com atresia do esófago tratados no Hospital Dona Estefânia. Métodos: Estudo...
