Complete blood count parameters as biomarkers of retinopathy of prematurity: a ...

Purpose: To evaluate complete blood count (CBC) parameters in the first week of life as predictive biomarkers for the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods: Multicenter, prospective, observational study of a cohort of preterm infants born with gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks or birth weight < 1500 g in eight Portuguese neonatal intensive care units. All demographic, clinical, and laboratory d...

Portuguese Recommendations for the Use of Biological and Targeted Synthetic Dis...

Objective: To update the recommendations for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs and tsDMARDs), endorsed by the Portuguese Society of Rheumatology (SPR). Methods: These treatment recommendations were formulated by Portuguese rheumatologists taking into account previous recommendations, new literature evidence and consen...

Pulmonary aspergillomas management: A 26-years case series of surgical therapy

Improvement in left intraventricular pressure gradients after aortic valve repl...

New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Normal diastolic and systolic intraventricular pressure gradients are decreased when left ventricular filling and/or emptying are compromised. We hypothesized that in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, a condition that interferes with ventricular filling and emptying, those gradients would be disturbed. What is the main finding and its importanc...

The mysterious halos in iron gall ink manuscripts: an analytical explanation

Three historical manuscripts, two on parchment (dated 1280 and 1514) and one on paper support (dated 1589–1592), were under study. The three manuscripts were strongly attacked by microorganisms exhibiting dark brownish stains all over the surface except in the adjacent areas to some of the used inks, where a halo around the written text could be observed. In order to understand the origin of these halos, inks a...

Intraventricular Pressure Gradients in Heart Failure

The aim of the present study was to characterize intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPGs) in an animal model of chronic heart failure. New Zealand rabbits were treated with doxorubicin (heart failure group, n=5) or saline (control group, n=5) and instrumented with pressure catheters placed in the apex and outflow-tract of left ventricle (LV) and with sonomicrometer crystals placed in the apex and base of the...

Estilos de coping em crianças com doença crónica

No domínio da Psicologia da Saúde Infantil o estudo dos processos de confronto tem sido bastante explorado embora grande parte da investigação se centre na avaliação das estratégias de coping e não nos padrões ou estilos de confronto. Os estilos de coping são padrões relativamente estáveis de estratégias que a criança utiliza para lidar com os seus problemas, nomeadamente aqueles que se relacionam com a doença....
