PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF WEIGHT LOSS, INFLAMMATION BIOMARKERS AND INFLUENCE OF THE ...
Vasconcelos de Matos, Leonor; Coelho, Andreia; Neves, Maria Teresa; Fernandes, Leonor; Cunha, Renato; Fontes-Sousa, Mário; Malheiro, MarianaINTRODUÇÃO: O adenocarcinoma do pâncreas (AP) constitui uma das mais mortais neoplasias malignas, com < 10% dos doentes vivos ao fim de um ano. M ais de 80% dos doentes com AP desenvolvem caquexia, a co-morbilidade mais marcante deste cancro. O síndrome caquexia-anorexia representa uma entidade sistémica de perda de peso (PP) intencional, não completamente reversível por adequado suporte nutricional. A infla...
Consensus Recommendations of the Multiple Sclerosis Study Group and the Portugu...
Pereira, Daniela Jardim; Abreu, Pedro; Reis, Ana Mafalda; Seixas, Daniela; Carreiro, Inês; Cravo, Isabel; Graça, Joana; Freitas, Pedro Melo; Brito, OlgaIntroduction: Magnetic resonance imaging is recognized as the most important diagnostic test in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, differential diagnosis and evaluation of progression/therapeutic response. However, to make optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis, the use of a standard, reproducible and comparable imaging protocol is of uttermost importance. In this context, the Portugu...

Antimicrobial pressure of ciprofloxacin and gentamicin on biofilm development b...
Machado, Idalina; Graça, Joana; Lopes, H.; Lopes, Susana Patrícia; Pereira, Maria OlíviaThis work aims at characterizing endoscope biofilm-isolated (PAI) and 2 reference strain P. aeruginosa (PA) adhesion, biofilm formation and sensitivity 3 to antibiotics. The recovery ability of the biofilm-growing bacteria subjected to 4 intermittent antibiotic pressure [ciprofloxacin (CIP) and gentamicin (GM)], as 5 well as the development of resistance towards antibiotics and benzalkonium 6 chloride (BC), wer...
Effect of antimicrobial residues on early adhesion and biofilm formation by wil...
Machado, Idalina; Graça, Joana; Sousa, Ana Margarida; Lopes, Susana Patrícia; Pereira, Maria Olíviaimicrobial residue deposition can change the physico-chemical properties of bacteria and surfaces and thus promote or impair bacterial adhesion. This study focuses on benzalkonium chloride (BC) deposition on polystyrene (PS) surfaces and the influence of this conditioning film on the physico-chemical properties of PS and on early adhesion and biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa wild-type and its laborat...

Evaluation of cerebral glioma with advanced magnetic resonance techniques.
Graça, Joana; Palma, Teresa; Pereira, Pedro; Medina, Patrícia; Ribeiro, Constança; Evangelista, PedroMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the technique of choice for the radiological evaluation of cerebral gliomas. Determination of its malignant grade is important for therapeutic approach and prognosis. The authors focus on the utility of MRI advanced techniques, namely proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, perfusion and diffusion. These techniques are complementary to conventional MRI and allow improved non-...
