Introdução – Os avanços em oftalmologia e a descoberta de fármacos antiangiogénicos administrados por injeção intravítrea revolucionaram o tratamento de diferentes doenças que afetam a retina. O aparecimento destes fármacos, em 2006, marcou a abordagem e curso da degenerescência macular da idade. Os fármacos anti-VEGF mais usados para injeção intravítrea são o ranibizumab, o bevacizumab e o aflibercept. Estes t...
Background: The use of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) has been increasing worldwide, driven by widening of clinical applications and improved patient survival rates. In Portugal, recent data indicate an even faster growth, although national HMV recommendations have remained unchanged for 25 years. Research question: We aimed to provide an update in clinical practice guidelines for HMV in adults, applicable t...

Stiff-person syndrome is a rare autoimmune neurologic disorder characterized by progressive muscular rigidity and painful muscle spasms predominantly affecting the axial and the proximal limb muscles. Most patients with stiff-person syndrome have antibodies directed against the glutamic acid decarboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme for the production of inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid. Parane...

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the most common primary lung neoplasms. Clinical manifestations can be subtle, and chest radiograph usually shows non-specific findings, often leading to delayed or inaccurate diagnosis. Despite their indolent nature, NETs have metastatic potential and can cause significant morbidity. Early diagnosis is critical for optimal management, as surgical resection can be curative. The ...
Introduction: Sleep problems are frequent in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Some authors have tried to characterize paediatric sleep habits in Portugal, but none has focused on preschool-age children nor attempted to establish their association with ADHD. We aimed to assess the prevalence of ADHD symptoms in preschool-age children and to study their association with sleep habits....
